I HAS MAIL!

But of course they are idiots and deliver it during the day so I wasn't here. I'm getting better at this phone conversation thing. If I just ask if they can speak English they'll know my Japanese is bad. You never know, they might bust out some prewritten script to prompt me. It works. In any case, it's coming tomorrow night! :DDDD What could it be?!

Work was blah. Some kid broke a window just as I was leaving. I didn't go check it out but one girl went into the nurse's office so I think her hand was bleeding. I'll see it all taped up tomorrow. Next month's schedule looks sooo empty! I have 3 free days with no lessons (2 for midterms and exam review and one for the choir contest)! Too bad I can't just not come to work on those days.

I felt exhausted today. Which is weird because I got enough sleep. Another rainy and cold day... and I must have slept in a strange position because my waist hurts today. It's the first time I've had my waist hurt. And only on one side. Unless that was from my little one person dance party last night. I was givin'er pretty hard. It definitely made the day seem to go slower when everytime I bent a certain way I would have pain. ><

I have crap loads to watch still... and I'm downloading more!
-- Code Blue 10 & 11
-- D no Arashi 50, 51, 52, 53
-- Maou 10 & 11 (even though I saw them on TV)
-- Arashi no Shukudai-kun 103
-- Myu no Anyo Papa ni Ageru
-- Moshimo Tours SP Sho, Jun and Aiba were on to promote the VS SP but they were just commentators. Boring; Delete.

And now for something completely different: FIC RECS!
I keep complaining about the lack of (good) fic but lately I have come across some gems. Holy shit. In no particular order:
♥ Lust, Destiny, Desire (Ryo/Shige [NEWS]) by misticloud I am trying to come up with a description or summary but my mind is blank. This is dark, raw, angsty, passionate, driving. It's not your typical love story. She just wrote the last chapter (although I'm gunning for an epilogue) so you can read the brilliance in it's entirety. I am going to read it again in one sitting.
♥ Finale Revisited (Naoto/Naruse/Shiori [Maou]) by venus_aurea EPIC LULZ. She rewrote the end of Maou -- how it should have ended. Nothing but crack here.
♥ The Five (Arashi) by emilenshook Awesomely AU. WW2/Cold War setting which is something new to me and brilliantly written. I read it at work today (or at least what's been posted so far) and was itching to comment because I was just floored.
♥ The Magician (Arashi) by primroseshows Another AU. Four of them live in a tiny town not on any map in a dull grey existence until Ninomiya the Magician comes to town. An excellent story (and also complete!) that sweeps you right along. I had so much fun reading it.

I hope you find something worth reading in there. And now I'm going to change my layout again. I dislike this one.

New layout!

I like. I better, since it took like... I think safely over an hour to customize. And now it's 8pm and I haven't even started to think about dinner yet. I haven't even tackled the dishes from yesterday yet.

And it seems that I am the only one with this rich text problem. I don't know what the fuck happened. Is it Firefox? Is it LJ? It's driving me nuts anyway. I suppose on the plus side, it makes me practice HTML (oh OT5 you are so neglected these days...) and it keeps LJ from inserting all the stupid redundant code that is so unnecessary. You win some...

Overdue Fangirl Post

Just watched this week's Shukudai-kun. Who else thinks Aiba was trying to flirt with the guest? He totally stole the show! Him and his flirting and molesting Nino's face. They seemed quite relaxed this week. Vacation pays off. And Leader got a trim; he's starting to look a bit more like himself which is good. But that velour hoodie made a come-back; not approved.

I love that Aibaland game. I should institute that at a party. I want to host an 80s party with Andrew now after all the fun we had on Saturday. I just want to hang out with Erica again. That girl is a riot. I wonder if there's a way to embed video from Facebook? Hrm. No dice.

I put two giant cloves of garlic in my spaghetti. I was crazy delicious but now I can smell garlic everytime I breathe. That's a first. I feel full and satisfied. Too bad my (in)box doesn't feel that way. :O

Oh shit. I just found all of the last few cycles of Top Model. OH DAMN.
