The Chronic-cles of Narina

No, this doesn't have to do with Narnia at all but I always think of that SNL short when I think of "lazy Sunday". XD

I slept in until 11:30 and I haven't even gotten to the kitchen to make coffee yet. I fiddled a bit more with OT5 and added a couple things. And counted! There are 169 fics/series listed. I need to read the ohmiyaday V-day challenges, though I want to wait til the reveals are posted before adding any of them to the archive. I read two of them (the really beautiful sexy one and Clint Eastwood crack) but I hear good things about the rest. They are all fairly short, or so I am lead to believe.

I should type out what I wrote for Eq last week at work and see if I can squeeze a bit more out of it. It's going to be the last chapter! And it might clock in at 5,000 words or more since I have to tie up everything. I will not be posting this one hastily. I'm going to need someone to really look over it who knows the series to make sure I haven't left any gaping holes.

No plans today other than maybe write and should do laundry. I should go return a DVD and do some grocery shopping but I think I'll stay in and watch more IWGP. It works on my DVD player! I also figure that it's a problem with the player and not the cables. The sound starts off fine but then gets fuzzy for a while and then clears up again. It was free so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. This has got to be my favourite drama of all time. Nagase Tomoya, Sato Ryuuta, Yamapi, Tsumabaki Satoshi, Watanabe Ken. I wish Kubozuka Yosuke had done more dramas. He's my favourite character. Nagase has such terrible skin and Yamapi looks so little at 16! I read the first volume of the manga since Alison had it but I should get the others and try to read it. It's not very long, only four volumes. Maybe I should make a trip to Matsudo today and see if they have it at Book-Off there. Maybe Tomoko is free for dinner or coffee. :)

大成功 ♥

I did everything I wanted to get done today. :D I returned my DVD, I picked up a stamp, and I found all four volumes of IWGP at Book Off (for 350 yen each!). I also picked up Lipstick Jungle by Candance Bushnell for some light reading, even though I haven't even started Summerland yet. I also ate pizza for dinner. All in a day's work.

Ariel said "they" were planning to go out last night and of course I didn't get the email until 9pm. People were meeting at Hachiko at 10 and there was no way I was going to make it (I think I was in my pjs) and I didn't want to stay out all night so there was no point in going just for 1 hour. I had already done that once. Then I got an email from Blake today asking where I was last night and he told me about the shitshow that went down. It was supposed to be Shibuya and then people were late and it turned into Takanobaba and then it became Nichome... he also ran into his ex and proceeded to drown his sorrows in gin and didn't get home until 5pm today. And he lives in Shinjuku for fuck's sake! I almost feel like I missed a good night. Almost. The gays can't seem to make up their fucking minds in a timely fashion. Ever.

Ariel and Dan didn't even end up going to Nichome either. I wonder what they did instead.

At Book Off I found a Mr Kiasu comic book. I was so tempted to buy it for 150 yen but I don't want to start collecting books that I'm only going to have to get rid of because of the charges of shipping to Cananda. It made me think of Lydia and then, oh the irony! Tomoko tells me she's been posted to Singapore for 3 months! She'll be there from the beginning of April to July. It's her first time living overseas and she asked if I could give her some tips/pointers/advice. And introduce her to some of my friends who still live there. I'm thinking of Yukiko and Lydia. For some reason, I don't have a problem with introducing friends face-to-face but doing it online seems kind of strange to me. Do you think that's strange? I don't even know what kind of advice I could give her since I haven't lived there for 7 years.
