Jun. 28th, 2007 11:19 pmHey,
Well, I only have four more days to go at work. I managed to get a day off yesterday, so I did have a breather. I also get four days off next week, which will give me a chance to catch my breath and maybe get something done one some other things. Like my resume. Or my messy room. Or washing my car. We shall see.
Anyways, I better go torture one nasty spider we all know and love. My FIRST Naraku POV, ever, guys. I'm kinda nervous.
Until next time,
Far Away Eyes

Her Majesty's Dog
Jun. 19th, 2007 02:22 pmHey,
Well, my manga came fairly quickly this month. I read Her Majesty's Dog, and I must say, I like it thus far. It's different, that's for sure. I do like the way that Hyoue is so crass, but super over protective. In some ways, it's like he has Inuyasha's personality but with a bit more sexual bravado, but the story between him and Amane echoes the Sess/Rin story. Little girl finds dog demon in tree, dog demon decides to stay with and protect little girl. Only difference is they're both in modern times at a modern school. And Amane is pretty powerful in her own right with the use of names and all. I love the conflict between them, him being her "dog" and her the master but how she wants to be his friend (perhaps with benefits?? Besides "feeding," that is...it's soooooooo obvious that Hyoue wants her after all, and not just for "life force"), but yet they're not entirely equal. And Hiraka certainly gets under Hyoue's collar. He's got a superiority complex to boot. Remind you of anyone??? Anyways, so far it's pretty good. I wasn't sure when I picked it up on recommendation from Nikkie, but I'm glad I did.

Decisions, Decisions
May. 10th, 2007 07:40 pmHey,
Not to spam the list, but I'm trying to figure out what I want to buy for that Anime Purchase of the Month (Okay, so sometimes I do more than one but I'm sure all of us can attest to that impulse buy here and there).
I can't decide if I want to buy two more of the Ranma 1/2 manga, one of the Inuyasha DVD sets, or a Ranma volume with a different manga volume. I haven't had a real chance to read much manga before I buy it, soooo any suggestions would be nice.
Anyways, thats it.

What I've Been Up To
May. 5th, 2007 01:05 amHey,
Well, I hope everyone's May is going well thus far. I know I haven't journaled in awhile, but I've been busy! I worked a lot in April, so that consumed much of my time. I also spent a lot of time working on the next chapter for Journey. I am happy to announce that it is finished, but now I wait for my beta's response on it. As soon as I get a response (or I get way too impatient and post the "un-betaed"), I'll post it for your enjoyment. I am hoping that you'll like it, despite the point of view we're visiting this go round. Speaking of Journey, it took 1st Place at the Feudal Association for Best Characterization of Inuyasha and 3rd for Best Inu/Kag Romance. I'd like to thank everyone who participated. It means a lot to me.
I have also been writing a few drabbles, and much to my surprise they sometimes even win! Here are the banners I have gotten in the last month:
In other news, I have been watching a lot of Ranma. I have the first Perfect Set, and I must say that it is highly addictive. I tell myself I will watch one, and only one, episode, and end up watching anywhere from 4-7 in a row. It's hilarious and fun, what can I say? I also have all of my Inuyasha US manga releases, so now I can focus on catching up on Ranma. I have 6 volumes so far. Now I have to decide what I want to buy next, another Inuyasha DVD set, a Ranma DVD set, or manga?
Otherwise, that's pretty much it. I will actually get a chance to work on my resume again on Monday or Tuesday, as I have finally gathered a good chunk of my portfolio again. Hopefully that'll help get the career search going again. I most certainly do NOT want to spend the rest of my life in retail, that's for sure!

Random Journal
Feb. 21st, 2007 03:01 pmHey,
Well, this is a little random journal babbling about various things.
I am recuperating from putting the new songifc collection together. Then, on orders of my beta, I am to focus again on Journey. I suppose I should, after all we do have a while to go in it and we do have some exciting story lines ahead! I will also try to get some more drabbles and "Games" written up as we go. It all depends on how busy I get---or how much things like American Idol or the new NIN DVD distract me.
