Day 3?
-I got a plastic wrapping for a dress I have to lug around tuesday.
-I'm doing really well in the first game I ever play by myself
-I finished my video and for some reason beyond me people are liking it
-Pancakes for breakfast
-I figured out the secret to softening bread
I have this bag I ordered off etsy and so now I can use it for outings instead of the bags I've slowly worn down to the bare threads over the years
-School is over in 2 weeks. Must keep remembering that.


/Trying to remind myself of happy things

So much shit to do.

For that daily meme:

-Finished the video-yay!
-Baked with Carlos-yum!
-You can see the floor of my room!


Not going to talk about the bad and the ugly :x

Vid is due today, I have to fill in about 25 seconds, which actually takes a lot longer than what you might expect. I can't really edit further from the 3 seconds I did without some coffee in my system.

During cold weather my family likes to sleep with the windows open, so I woke up several time this morning opting to keep sleeping to feel the pseudo-warmth of my dreams. I still felt tired when I finally woke up though so I took a hot shower and then went to get the coffee ready because I get headaches if I don't get enough sleep and I don't have any caffeine. Addicted, I know. My Mom was making coffee though, and our maker is essentially for cuban coffee, (but me and my mom use it for american anyways since you can't really drink cuban coffee without a really hearty breakfast of starch and carbs and protein) and so it only makes about a cup's worth of anything. The it gets really hot and unusable for about an hour. So I can't edit till at least another 30 minutes.

Can I also mention the hell that was yesterday: driving around The Everglades. I don't care how nice the new car is,it's never a 'good time' when you get *lost* looking at all the 'pretty farmland scenery' full of NOTHING and NOTHING and COW SHIT.

I went because they said they were going to Robert's, (which is an amazing smoothie place in the middle of nowhere that everyone should journey to see), and by the time we got there I was about ready to start hitch hiking home. Also, my family stayed forever looking at a 'petting zoo' they had. I wonder if you can call the humane society on this place, because they're literally living in their own shit; I was very highly disturbed by both the sights and smells of whats most likely the new breeding ground for the next animal-named epidemic.

Because finals are next week and I'm behind all my reading. Also, because they had no sweet potato pie last night and so Thanksgiving meals have been rendered useless to me.

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
3. Tag eight six of your friends to do the same.

I. We have french bread in the house; we never do usually.
II. The weather outside is wonderful, cool and breezy but still sunny. Just enough that I don't have to wear my warm fuzzy pants, but enough that I can snuggle under the covers anyways.


I don't know enough people to tag, so help yourselves ~<3

I am done with you, Padre, you ain't got nothing on me. I don't even care if I made up the publishing year anymore.

Now to shit some math and...read 7 chapters over some dry turkey this break.

How are your thanksgiving plans coming along, flist, (if you even celebrate?) Feel free to discuss hate of said holiday. Or ignore this all together. I'm exhausted.

Ok so my boyfriend's dad is an artist , and he hosts exhibitions everywhere. So during one of his exhibitions, "Images of Thought", they video taped and saved a bunch of footage. They wanted to send a sort of advertisement out to other galleries everywhere, museums and what have you, so they gave me the footage and asked/commissioned me to make it. I kind of finished it, I just need to clean it up a bit, but luckily for me they loved it and so I may have a freelancing part time job!

I'll see if I can get the video up to show you guys my most official work ever.

Check him out though, his style is unique.

I.

Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 unlimited holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) FRIENDS could get in touch with you.

Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

II.

Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

III.

If you can send me something, PM me and I'll give you my address.

Stolen from synnesai, please link me if you have one!
Here it is:

I. The movie Innocence available for download somewhere not bittorrent? I can't do bittorrents on my computer due to some special antifilesharing stuff, but megaupload and etc. are fine.
II. Kingdom Hearts doujinshi always welcomed.
III. An expansion of this picture, be it fanfiction, fanart, or if there's more to it somehow, (a translation even? o.o)
IV: Fanfiction with either Setzer/Roxas, Demyx/Roxas, or all three with the prompt "I'll make it worth your while", and let it be M please?
V. Akuroku fanart is always welcomed. ;p
VI. Higher quality kh clips
VII. A banner with maybe just melded shots of Axel's eyes and Roxa's eyes and some black and some sparks, (Can you tell I don't know sh** about photography or photoediting?)
VIII. If anyone knows who else might be translating Shitsuren Mania. I have all the chapters from Hochunami but the last and latest ones I found are in Chinese :c and I don't know Chinese.
IV. RECIPES for coffee stuff. Frappuccinos from starbucks, coffee cake,tiramisu, Mocha/coffee flavored things are my weakness. WHATEVER. SEND THEM.
X. Edward Gorey's The Recently Deflowered Girl complete, be it viewable online or hard copy.

I showed you mine, now you show me yours

Does anyone know the specifics about mla format and foreign language documents? Do I have to take them to an official language translator or can I make my own unofficial ones?

Profile change! :o
However, you really underestimate my laziness if you think I'm going to change the layout. That shit is insane.
Me and mine went out to one of the nicer shopping districts and I found out from a nice bookseller that Edward Gorey books are going out of print and that none of his books were currently in the store. This gave me a fright, especially since I was semi-forced to give away my Amphigorey Too last year due to unforeseen time restraints on shopping hours and an inconveniently early party.

Fortunately, the bookseller was misinformed and there was one copy of Amphigorey in the Humor section left and so I (legally)snatched it . Guess what's on my holiday gift list, guys?

I also got a realediting gig, almost like a commission, and more on that once I finish it because I don't want to jinx it.

281-418

I have to read 137 pages,4 chapters, of pure economic bullshit.
I once skimmed over an essay written by this professor who theorized that the development of an organized economic process can be attributed to the presence of homosexuality in ancient civilizations.

In other words, economics is gay.

So see, this is how my neurotic obsession with food goes:



Angry Sandwhich Face by ~timedAlice on deviantART

If I can't eat it, I dress it the hell up for someone else. Because both of those things make me sick right now, except for the carrots.

So to do list of recipes:
-Spinach Artichoke dip
-baked eggplant Parmesan wrapped in pita bread
-Celery with artichoke dip
-That amazing sauce from Pasha's that they say is 'yogurt' but I've never had no yogurt like that on steak.
-Pita bread stuffed with tomatoes, lettuce, pieces of meat and pashas yogurt
-potato skins stuffed with all that yummy potatoe-y stuff like cheese, as found in popular American cuisine venues as appetizers when they sure as hell constitute a meal.

As a side note I'm definitely planning on visiting Pashas again so I can this time figure out exactly what they put in that wrap, because I had no idea what went in my mouth.


Can anyone recommend non spicy indian food? I hate my weak oversensitive bitch palate for not being able to take the heat. Roxas probably likes spicy food if you think about it.

This is the only insurance I have against not lying around all day sleeping with fandom and generally wanking my duties off.
And now I give it to you.

The fact that I've been so nauseated by the taste/smell of eggs the past year or so has left me hungry more often than not and unless I choose to obsess over pasta in the next two years will probably also increase any grocery bill I incur.
I can live off of these Maria Cookies meanwhile.

I think it's very fitting that my 400th post is a combination of all my favorite things: Axel/Roxas, Fanfiction,Paris Je t'aime/french dialogue, and amvs.

Title: Je T'aime
Link: Youtube
Pairings: Axel&Roxas
Subtitles: English subtitles, as accurate as possible.
Footage: kh2, re:CoM, 358/2 days (minor non spoiler footage).


Made between last night and this morning, subtitles are as accurate as I could make them.
Summary: Axel's perspective of the beginnings and endings of his and Roxas's relationship, and how it disintegrated.
For the purposes of better understanding, exams= the trials Axel went through in Chain of Memories; the deceit, the conspiracies and the murders.
When he speaks german-russian-french etc., he's just talking, maybe lying, maybe just not telling Roxas what's going on in Castle Oblivion.
He thinks Castle Oblivion made them distant, he thinks its his fault Roxas left.

Idea sprouted from a fic by ronsard, ficlet Here

Though not given explicit insight to everything he does, we can piece together Axel's tale through word of mouth and through his actions. In this video I attempted to illuminate his journey from when Roxas figuratively 'died' up to when Axel 'dies'. It was really mostly to pass this boredom thing I was experiencing by looking at my blank essay paper.

I also know most of you Axel, or really general kh fanatics already know this stuff. Like I said, mostly to pass boredom. A few hours to make. Not an amv.

2 cups of coffee, a diet coke, and 2 chocolate chip cookies from subways.
