What a day... rainy as miserable pretty much from dawn to dusk but beautifully cool and mild.
Fireworks last night was kind of... good? Andrew and I wore our yukata (because we bought them) and went to Tamagawa for the fireworks. No one replied to Andrew's email (typical gay move) and the other person who was going to come bowed out because of the rain but they put on the show anyway. It was only misty last night. We went to Jeff and Hiroshi's and watched them from their living room, over the tops of the buildings from the first floor. It was a nice party and I saw some old friends and met some cool new people and played with the puppies! Made me really want a dog. One day... when they discover a cure for animal allergies. Everyone was taking our pictures because we outdid ALL the Japanese folks who just wore street clothes. I think there is a yukata themed party in the woodwork now. I hope I can get pictures from someone soon.
Today we just stayed in and vegged. Andrew studied, I played Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. XD I LOVE IT. I made myself put it down today because I'd already been playing it for about 2 hours today... I really want to play more right now but I won't. Gotta pace myself until I get a new game to play.
Finally got all the parts of Tensei Kunpu downloaded... FUCK that was a bitch and a half. The second act didn't join properly so I'm trying it again. All the parts are complete so it shouldn't have any problems. I now realize just how much I didn't understand when I watched it with chirusea_3. I should find a way to burn it to DVD (I wonder if it's too big of a file) and give a copy to Andrew so he can bask in Ohno's sweaty greatness. Watching Maou this week, I really noticed how much character Ryou actually has. At the end of the show he did a voice over spot for Truth and just talked in his normal voice and it was just so different. And he fucking mumbles like a beast when he is talking normally. Don't you think they would have beat that out of you at Johnny's Boot Camp for Young Boys? LOL
Tomorrow is Monday. A busy week ahead of me, believe it or not. I need to clean house terribly and if the weather cooperates, I can get some laundry done and shrink Andrew's shirts for him so I can return them on Tuesday. I also have to put in some manhours on OT5. It's in sore need of an update.
I tried making daizu gohan for dinner (doesn't go that well with curry -- too many different flavours) but can't find the recipe I got from the lunch lady at school so I looked up some online and kind of made it up. Not a failure but not as good as the school one. I'll have to try again with a different combo and not put the beans in the rice cooker; they don't need it.

stage1902:
I feel accompished! I feel like I have gotten some degree of success with my work now (especially since at least one writer who I love reads me now, and she even rec'd it for OT5 :D). I am indescribably happy (and proud of my efforts) but then you fall into a trap because you know you have the readers... but then why aren't you getting the feedback? Ugh. I need to try not to think about it. It's not important. I feel like I'm finally making headway with Equilibrium; we're definitely past the halfway point now. I wonder if I could get it finished before year end? I should also probably pull out of this fic challenge I signed up for eons ago and haven't given two seconds thought to since.
