A conglomeration of fragments

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 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.

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.

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! )

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*

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.

Looong day.

Okay, first up! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ivoryandhorn and 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 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. ¬¬;; 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

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 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.

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. ¬¬;;;

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 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. )
