Went to work. Was cooler today, which was nice; walkies was much more fun. Um. I dunno. Haven't done much else.

Going pretty well in TWEWY. Staaaats. )

Honestly, the BEST thing about today was reading Azy's pings as she finally finished 3D. Never before has the line

Azy: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

induced so much joy on behalf of the reader. I mean seriously, wow. I was grinning and flailing and giggling so much my jaw hurt. |D (That isn't all she said, but I'm sure no one but me is interested in the keyboardsmashes. They're best viewed in realtime; afterwards you kind of want more actual words.)

OH ALSO! My copy of KH HD 1.5 ReMIX shipped! \o/ I'm guessing I'll get it early next week, what with the weekend and stuff. (It is currently in Tokyo, from Kanagawa-ken. I very much doubt it'll make it here tomorrow, though it's not impossible.)

Today had fucking fantastic weather. It was like it was summer, almost. Spent most of the day in a t-shirt, sitting in the sun. It was great.

Knitting: not much progress row wise, but I noticed an error I had to fix, and that took foreeeever. I had to pull back something like five rows, and yeah. /o\

Also only did three pixels (156); I wanted to game, and also my arm and wrist are getting sooore again. =/ Time to cut back.

This, of course, means I'm not going to get the knitting done by tomorrow like I wanted, which is super annoying, but what can you do, right? No actual tangible reason to press myself, so.

Played some katamari, too. Lost most of my skill, so I kept failing. =/ Didn't play too much, because depressing, but if I play a bit every day or so I should get it back! (My main problem is this kinda gameplay is super not intuitive for me. ^^;; So yeah, hard-won skill disappears fast, too, alas.) Also played some more 3D~

I really want to start FFX - I blame the conversation I've been having with [personal profile] kunenk - but I don't have that PS2. Might as A if she's actually using it, and if not to bring it back, so I can. She's had it... fuck, I dunno how long. Not a year, yet, but a pretty fucking long time. If she hasn't played yet she's probably not gonna.

*flop!*

Lazy Sunday~

Got Sora up to level 99 in 3D! .o/ ...still have one more of his special portals left to go. /o\

Restarted my knitting again, and yay it worked this time! Also Mama went away with her sisters and cousins this weekend, and learned how to make granny squares! .o/ PIXELART BLANKETS, HERE I COME.

She says no black for learning, though, so. Not sure what design I should start with! Hmmmm. Something geektastic, of course, but. My original idea was an umbreon, but they're pretty much all black... *ponders* I wonder if I could do something KH small enough to be feasible... (Gotta keep in mind that 'pixels' are going to be at LEAST 5cm, though probably closer to 10, so a 20x20 blanket would be at LEAST 1mx1m, probably closer to 2x2. This isn't much space, even in pixelart land!)

Good day!

tyger: Sora's fist-in-the-air sprite from Re:coded.  Text: Hell yeah! (Sora - hell yeah!)
Yeah. I had a good one. Was productive - actually did some DW stuff for once, fuck you brains I should be long done with this - and some knitting (started the heel!).

Watched some more Slayers, which is a combo of crack and awesome. Just watched the ep where Lina manages to fake out Xellos bargaining, which was pretty awesome.

I also really like that this show, despite being utter crack in some ways, is pretty strict about cause/effect for major things. The most obvious being giant magic explosions break things, and there's no undo button for that. And, if they're big enough, or someone is just in the wrong place at the wrong time, people do die. (Usually; sometimes the crack plot means escaping, but for the most part, people die.) Which, I dunno, for something as nonsensical as Slayers can be sometimes, is really nice to see.

ALSO ALSO ALSO I GOT STUFF! In the mail! IT IS AWESOME. :D :D :D

Firstly, I got my God Tier hoodies! \o/ So I went around dressed like this today:
Picture under the cut! )
I felt kinda silly, because, you know. It's not like I went anywhere. (I am so out of practice at wearing marginally good clothes around the house. ¬¬;;) But it's fun, too. I forgot how warm and fuzzy a brand new hoodie is~ <3<3<3<3 You can also see the rings Azy got me in the picture! :D They're all made out of different kinds of rock! So awesome. :3 (My favourite is the rainbow hematite, of course. :D)

ALSO I got my extras from the American special edition of KH3D I bought. (No, not the game. What would I do with it? It's region locked to America, so I'd have to buy another 3DS to play it, which fuck no. Azy kept it; she's playing it now~~ :D:D:D) Anyway, being a rediculous dork, I put the special 3DS case on my KH3D 3DS. Yup.
Pics or it didn't happen? )

You can also see the packet of AR cards it came with, and the sticker that was holding the tissue paper around my god tier hoodies and hero of Breath t-shirt together!
If you can't see it properly, the sticker says:
Hahahaha. You think you have what it takes to wear this???????? Don’t you know you have to 8e strong and 8rave to wear this and not 8e an em8arrassment to yourself????????

To which I, as a taurus, say: uH, i THINK THAT MAYBE, YOU SHOULD. uH. shut the fuck up, vRISKA, i'LL WEAR WHAT i WANT.

Possibly my Tavros-quirk is wrong, but. You know. ^^;; (I wonder if you always get the same sticker, if you order stuff...)

AND L sent me an Epic Mickey paintbrush nunchuck case. Sooooo coooool. :D:D:D:D

Also I played some KH3D tonight! I'm getting closer and closer to 100%~ Almost, ALMOST done with the special portals. 9 left to go, but it's a 3/6 split, so.

3D~~~

...yeah, I've been playing a lot of it today. It's fun! Still running around doing things for completion, mainly, but made quite a bit of progress today! :3

Current stats )

And yeah, that was about it. ¬¬;; Tried to do a bit more translating than the min, but brain was just. not. working., so I stopped. *sigh*
tyger: Gamzee from Homestuck.  Text: WhAt ThE MoThErFuCkInG hElL iS gOiNg On aLl Up In HeRe? (Gamzee - wtf)
But Sibling has friends over and they are loud and have been drinking/are probably drunk and argh. But they've been quietish for Iono. Maybe 20 minutes. So maybe it'll be okay now...?

Anwyay! I BEAT THE SECRET BOSS IN 3D! \o/ On the B side only, so far, but. SECRET BOSS~! *dances*

Also, because I keep forgetting: there's a Terra/Riku FST here, if anyone's interested.

Also also tomorrow I will buy paid time points and distribute it among people who want it, so comment or answer this poll here, if you want some.

Also x3, Homestuck updated today. I have some reaction comments! (this page, for future reference.) Spoilers, obviously! )
tyger: Ven's Avatar Kingdom chibi. Text: Ventus (Ven - chibi)
Yeah. Got an email from one of the temp registers, so I might have a job for a month, from the 28th. They're doing phone interviews tomorrow, so hopefully (pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease) I'll get in. *crosses fingers*

I did a whole lot of house stuff today! \o/ Made cupcakes - my standard choc. cake recipe apparently makes 3.75 dozen cupcakes - and washed the floors because someone'd tracked mud in, and finished doing my beads, which took another two and a half hours. *facepalm* But, done, and I'll see if the photos look any good tomorrow.

Started working on the Aqua big-bang plan, but I need to replay the KH endgame to make sure I get details right and the plot only goes at right angles, not fragmented and wobbly, so that'll have to wait until at least tomorrow. Maybe the weekend; I'll see what I get up to. Trying to be productive!

My wrist still hurts, but it's better. Not sure if taping it up helped, but it can't have hurt.

There's going to be a KH3D Collectors Edition in North America, which is currently up for preorder on Amazon. I really want all the extras. :x But I don't really want the game itself, uh. Mainly because when I played through Birth by Sleep the sucktasticness of several bits of the translation made me want to punch things through the screen, but. Yeah. And I can't just buy it and give the game to A, because it's American, and goddamn fucking region-locks means it won't work. :| (If you're thinking '...that is an expensive thing to buy and give away the expensive thing', then, uh. See, A has this thing, where she randomly buys me shit... It works out, you know?) Might buy it and give it to [personal profile] azremodehar; she hasn't been able to afford an import 3DS and KH3D yet. :( Stupid money. But that'll depend on whether or not she buys an American 3DS, so. We'll see!

Somehow or other.

• Went to the knitting shop, first thing, and bought wool. Turns out it's about a 20min walk each way! That's definitely close enough to go by Shanks' pony! >3 Knitting talk goes here )

• Also went to the city with A, as she's going to South Africa on Sunday~ Just for three weeks, but yes. Meeting up for a bit while we can. That was pretty fun! (Didn't buy anything except some chocolate! One of the flavours was banana, I had to try it, and it was 3 for $5 at the super cheap market stall, so! Got plain and white, too.)

• Finished FINAL WORLD+ for the KH3D transcript/lation. (I had only a partial scene left to do, it wasn't as big a deal as that might sound. Still, did it, even though the scene was making me pull faces because annoying translation is annoying, heh. Don't worry, that has nothing to do with how I feel about the content.)

• Today's pageaday translation gives me two major responses:
1. SAÏX YOU ARE A FUCKING BASTARD >E
2. Axellllll~ T_______T Oh Axel I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.

...yeah. *sighs*

*dance*

Not sure where most of the day went! Eh.

Went down the shops, made Sibling a bday cake - it's red velvet! :D Turned out pretty well - went to dinner. Nothing too interesting.

Failed yet again to play XIII-2; this time because car races were on again today, and so no tv for me. *blarghface!*

Went looking for lyrics to the new Silversun Pickups album, only to discover it doesn't release until Tuesday in America. Huh! Also apparently the KH3D release dates've been set - we're before America! :D (Europe: July 20, Australia: July 26, North America: July 31), so that's a thing! Doesn't look like they're releasing the shiny 3DS, either. Not surprised, but I'm sorry, o my English-only brethren!

...yeah, I need to go to bed now.

*flop*

Looong day.

Okay, first up! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, [personal profile] ivoryandhorn and [personal profile] celestinenox! :D I hope you had AWESOME days! :D:D

My day was not as awesome as it could have been, but it wasn't bad! (Definitely better than two years ago, heh.)

On the bad side: • Centerliiink, fuck you.
• Was making cake, and was halfway through before I realised OH SHIT NO EGGS, so I had to go back down AGAIN and get some
• And THEN I realised that oh fuck, we don't have raspberries. There were mixed berries, so I used some blackberries as well, but /o\
• Also the day just kind of evaporated, and I'm really tired.

BUT GOOD THINGS TOO!

• Presents! :D I have a NEW IPOD~! :D :D :D 160gig black classic; his name is Vanitas. Replacing Ven, who has a faulty HD. I feel this is appropriate on many levels.

ALSO [livejournal.com profile] raichou sent me an AWESOME PACKAGE, with special chocolates, and also a FANTASY NOVEL! |D The first of a series. In Japanese! *c-critical hit, it's super effective* It looks like it should be fun! :D

• I dropped in at JB to see if they have any iPod cases for my new iPod, but no. :( There's just silicon ones, which I found with Haku, my first iPod, get really sticky and gross inside, and the metal starts to rust. :( BUT! They had a buy two get one free on selected $10 kids movies, so I got Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, and Robin Hood. \o/

• Relatedly, WATCHED LILO AND STITCH! \o/ It really is adorable. I think I need to watch it again, when I'm not so scatterbrained, etc.

• Finally made a memes/etc. tumbles. ¬¬;; [tumblr.com profile] academicgamer-babble, if you're interested.

• Cake! It turned out pretty tasty, actually, yay. Decorating wasn't my best, but it was okay. It's here, on tumbles!

• Went out to dinner at the newish local Japanese, mmmm curry katsudon~

So it was a pretty okay day! :)

ALSO, I finally uploaded the unboxing of the KH3DS to tumbles, too. :3

Blargh!

tyger: Gwendal, facepalming. (Gwendal - facepalm)
...pretty much. Today hasn't been so good. For one, I had to go pick up my x-ray and a reference to a dental surgeon, from the dentists. Because my lower two wisdom teeth are sideways! And pointing in towards my other teeth, of course, which is a recipe for trouble. (And by sideways I mean 90º sideways. They've gone the whole distance, have to say! Ffff.)

And I was planning on getting all the Final World B stuff done today, but then I came across a sentence that's making me go :|, and it's important enough that I don't want to just take a stab. =/ Anyway, if anyone has any ideas it'd be appreciated! Out of context but possibly also spoilery sentence, plus slightly more spoilery clarification of one part and my worry. )

Anyway, instead of finishing that off, I did some knitting and started refilling the tumbles queue. Which I guess is something.

I did get a bag of random mohair ends at the local op-shop for $2.50, so I'm knitting them up as a stripy scarf on big needles, for Mama for Mother's Day. Which is really soon! Hopefully it'll work out and look okay; she likes scarves a lot! There's another scarf I want to make for her, but that really requires something a bit nicer than random ends. *laughs* Not that mohair's bad, but yeah. It's really a shimmery-smooth classy sort of wool pattern, not a warm and fluffy and colourful one.

Started my rug strips, too. Was supposed to be doing one stitch, but Mama explained it wrong, so I was doing a different one, instead. *facepalm* But I'll do a bit of that, for a while, and then do the other one. There's going to be a LOT of rug, so it'll be fine.

Anyway, have to go to bed so I can get up at 7 tomorrow so I can get to Centrelink early enough that I won't spend my entire fucking day there. *makes faces at them*
tyger: Aqua, from the BbS opening cutscene (Aqua - >|)
No lie. (Still haven't resolved Ravelry blargh. Oh brain. Did pick up an extra job app, though, so can go in at ass o'clock, my birthday. *makes face* But then I can have the rest of the day to myself, which is clearly better than the alternative.)

But! I was poking the Kingdom Hearts tag on tumbles, as you do if you're me, and I uh. Found someone referencing my playthrough keyboadsmash as a translation. /o\ It's really not a good translation! I mean I guess it's kinda translationy, because I am really that much of a geek, but. Um. /o\ (And if you're here because of said referencing uh HIIII. *waves* I am happy to geek out ANY TIME so uh say hi if that's a thing you want to do! Or whatever.)

So yeah, that really kicked my ass into gear into doing a proper translation of Last World B! Six scenes down~ However many to go. Didn't count them, and the 3DS is, of course, out of battery. OH 3DS, WHY.

Um. Started a blanket, figured out that how I planned to do it it'd be 500 stitches wide, freaked out kind of a lot. Think I've decided I'mma do it in strips? Kind of as a knitting stitch sampler thing. Will see how it goes, anyway.

ALSO I had another fic idea. Basic premise: Keyblade Master - apprentice making ritual includes a bonus PSYCHIC LINK. And then I ramble about it a lot. )

I kind of want to change my [community profile] khbigbang fic, now. ¬¬;; I guess I'll see how I feel in the morning, but you know. Extra focus on female characters! Sounds like an awesome idea to me.

Whee~~

Today was pretty good. Didn't get huuuge amounts done, but did little bits of a lot of things.

- went down the shops and got cheap Easter stuff. (Marshmallow eeeeeggs~~~ And more traditional chocolate, too! :D I was surprised anything was left, really, but hey!)
- finished up the 3D Last World A bits; they're posted here and at [community profile] pageaday
- remembered to eat properly
- did some DW work (just a bit, but you know. Trying to make it a habit, so it gets done without killing my arm by doing it in giant spurts)
- did a page for pageaday, but that took way forever, because
- talked with Momiji and 'Sail in #dreamwidth about style work, and I think I'm. Actually going to start poking styles and things. /o\ Possibly this is a horrible idea, but at the very least I should try some colourthemes...
- ALSO apparently tumbles has turned off the reblog notifs! Which is why I haven't been getting any. NICE TO KNOW why did I have to finally get up the nerve to ask support to find out, seriously, why. OH TUMBLES.

ALSO, I turned my custom icon page on (if you have a modified layer already it's super easy to do; if it's not you'll have to set all that up, which is probably more effort than it's worth), and look at this custom icon page, is it not FANTASTIC? :D *happydance*

Today has been pretty awesome!

Went to [personal profile] rb's house! :D Sie is a real person! And is awesome! :D :D :D So that was pretty fantastic. :3

And then came home and mostly caught up with tumbles (212 pages on my dash! Then I got to a thing on one of the (small-volume!) tags I follow that I want to ask [personal profile] azremodehar if she wants the link to, but she said she was going home and I assume just collapsed when she did; she hasn't come back online. Or her internet's being buggy. You know.)! Yay!

Did a couple of scenes for [community profile] pageaday, one of which is um. Yeah. Oh, novels. How do you manage to make things even more shippy than the games?

And then I did some 3D translation, and I'm ALMOST DONE with Final World A, but then the battery ran out when I was almost fucking done. =__= So that was ARGH. But doing that was awesome fun and EEEEEEE <3<3<3<3 One of my favourite bits. SO HAPPY. So, that'll be up tomorrow, hail or high water.

...Mama thinks I should try and get a job in translating. Um. I'm not sure she's wrong.

So today!

• got wool
• unlocked the KH3D secret ending
• did page
• spent the rest of the evening catching up on tumbles.

Not done yet. ¬¬; I'm on page... 102? Yes. Um. And it's uh. Much later than I should've gone to bed, given that I need to be awake and go somewhere tomorrow! *facepalms forever* Putting alarm on and going to bed now, yes... ¬¬;;

Also I am yet again tempted to make a second tumbles for memes and stuff. ¬¬;;;
tyger: Xigbar's Avatar Kingdom chibi. Text: Xigbar (Xigbar - chibi)
Despite sleeping in ridiculously late (I've only been up a little over 12 hours /o\), I managed to transcribe/translate six scenes from 3D, as well as do my page and various other life bits today! Yay!

Mood is better, too, which is good.

Tomorrow: wool shopping with Mama (she needs wool for a jumper she's going to make, I need cheaper things to figure out this sock thing), then more translation, I think. Yes. Also maybe knitting!

*flop!*

BUSY DAY! I guess that's good, but you know.

Today I: • transcribed and translated the ending bit of KH3D! \o/ (transcription on the DW; translation on [community profile] pageaday) Will start on Final World tomorrow! Yes, that's backwards, but whatever.

• Went and got an x-ray. (For my teeth; dentist wants to see what my wisdom teeth are up to. HOPEFULLY NOTHING.)

• GOT MY NEW GLASSES THEY ARE SO AMAZING AND ALSO I CAN SEEEEE AGAAAAIN~! It's so awesome. SO AWESOME.

• Went to a Chinese martial art taster class with Mama. I think the art itself would be pretty cool, but I also think there was a bit too much mystical bullshit for me to be able to cope. (I just. Cosmic rays.)

• Also translated a couple of pages of novel!


So yeah, fairly productive! Will probably go out to the city with A tomorrow; she's... fairly depressed at the moment. =/ So she needs some company, for sure. Cut for depression talk. )
