So admittedly I haven't been working on the memoir as much lately as I'd like. "Work" has picked up a bit, and then I've kind of been sidetracked with watching a lot of downloaded foreign TV shows and DVD purchases and whatnot, so yeah. The air conditioning is also out, so I feel kind of hot and icky and don't really want to do anything, and I opened a window, which helps with the stuffiness, but things are still pretty muggy in here. The chirping birds are getting on my fucking nerves and last night people in the neighborhood were outside yelling at each other at 2 AM. I haven't been sleeping well. YAY EXCUSES!

Anyway, here's an excerpt from the memoir (if you need to, click the image below to see the large print version):

So in addition to hopefully working on the memoir a bit this weekend and getting another SC article up, I'm thinking I want to write another short story. Nothing for submission to magazines or anything -- fairly convinced that avenue is a waste of time; nobody wants to pay for my stuff -- but I might post it here or on SC if I ever get around to it. But right now I'm so hot that I just want to take a cold shower in lieu of going swimming because I do not have access to a pool. But I wish I had a bottle of chlorine so I could breathe in the fumes and pretend I'm in the wave pool at Wild World.

Excerpt from an IRC convo about anime:

<Kyusaku> the lead voice actress actually had to go on maternity leave around the last 13 eps
<Kyusaku> and her replacement kinda sucked
<Wesper> whatever she could totally have done her part from the hospital
<Kyusaku> seriously
<Wesper> just have lots of scenes with her opening heavy doors

And that's all for now. Ja ne!
