NaNo tally [07 Nov 2009|07:27am] shaded_mazoku [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | Chrono Trigger - Blue Minded God OC ReMix ] 15816 / 50000 Doing relatively well, I think! Let's see how many words I can cram in tomorrow. I've been pleasantly surprised to find that Ash is nearly as easy for me to write as Kefka, and a lot less brain-breaking, too. Although I want to know what possessed him to be all flirty, in a very strange and snarky way, with Daniel. Sage will not approve. Isaak... ...Will probably ask if he can watch. post comment

into the mist.... [06 Nov 2009|09:04pm] kuwamiko [ mood | predatory ] [ music | the cruxshadows ] Werd count: 3,276 I feel bad stopping, and part of me says that I can keep going, but the smarter part of me recognizes that I've just hit the wall and anything further I end up writing will be crap. So I'm gonna lay off and go play some video games. Tomorrow is another day. And I want ice cream. Also, I keep picturing Brian as Josh Duhamel instead of Paul Walker, and this is a real problem. Really. Still working on my list, if anyone feels like throwing a dog a bone. Anyone? post comment

"but the door hasn't swing shut yet" [06 Nov 2009|04:53pm] kuwamiko [ mood | creative ] [ music | gin playing ff12 ] Whew! So going to Starbucks appears to agree with me. I've managed to get over two thousand words written today, and it was on "Marmalade". Hurrah for that. ^_^ Dunno if I'll write more, but I intend to try. Also, Tay helps me think of more tropes and cliches and such, which is a bonus. <3 Man, I wanna be done with "Marmalade". It's cute but I'm ready to be finished. I'm only up to the part right after Jimmy bites it, dammit. But things are a little truncated, since Dean can read minds (not everyone's, but Cassie's mother was wide open), and they have Dom and Brian on the Hunt as well, so it won't take them as long in my AU as it took them in canon. Plus there will be no Dean fucking Cassie. =.=;; Gin's playing FF12 now, so I should get on trying to write. ^_^ Here I go, wishing myself luck! *crosses fingers* post comment

Why yes, I did spend way too much time at pixiv.net this morning. [06 Nov 2009|11:46am] zoifox [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | a very demanding cat ] Okay, this is kind of adorable. As is this, if for nothing else than Raidou's thoroughly ticked-off expression. And then there is this, although damned if I can figure out how Raidou would have gotten a Prinny. Also: this, which sums up the Tower of Kagutsuchi experience really, really well. What is it with Megaten and towers. (Note: To see the pictures at full size, you do need an account.) post comment

Physics! It still works! [06 Nov 2009|07:46am] darthneko Dear Limo Shuttle Service driver: newsflash, sir. The laws of physics. They still work. So do the laws of reality. And you know what? Two large, solid objects STILL can't occupy the same space at the same time. Given that was a three lane turn at that light and the bus I was on was certainly in its right lane, I'm not exactly sure WhereTF you thought you were going when you decided that you needed to switch from the middle lane into ours. And right into the side of the bus. And yeah, thanks for that, because there's nothing to wake a body up out of a light doze like being thrown around and all of the windows on that side busting out as you crash right into a VERY LARGE AND NOTICEABLE BUS. v_v (everyone was fine. Busdriver was terribly rattled, but okay except for the adrenaline rush. shuttle driver = stupider than a rock. Seriously. WTF. You don't change lanes in the middle of a turn, and particularly not when there's a nice big bus next to you. Where the hell did he think he was GOING??) post comment

a faint outline hung there, of a silver key [05 Nov 2009|10:02pm] kuwamiko [ mood | mellow ] [ music | mythbusters busting myths ] Werd count: 395 I'm not done with my lists, but I've got enough to post now. There may be some overlap here, which is only natural. Some of these may be in the wrong list, though I tried to be careful about that. Some of these are things I've already written, and some are cliches or kinks that I will never write, but put down here for the sake of thoroughness. (Although I certainly would've never thought I'd write mpreg, so I guess I shouldn't discount anything.) So! If you can think of any kink, cliche, or trope that I left off (anything, not just for SPN), please, please let me know. I'm trying to make this as comprehensive as possible and I only have one brain. ^_~ ( Lists are in alphabetical order. ) Come on! Help me out! I know there's at least some kinks that I'm forgetting, and probably other stuff too!!! (I'm not putting scat on the list - that's the one thing I don't even want to think about and I don't consider it sexual, even though I know it is for some people. *shudders*) Don't make me beg!! ^o^;;;; Eta: Gah! I forgot "bondage", "handcuffs", and "underage"! How does this happen?! See, people (I know that someone other than me must be reading this), this is why I need help! Consider this to be me begging! 2 comments|post comment

Video game linkspam! [05 Nov 2009|04:43pm] zoifox [ mood | sleepy ] Just a couple of things: Atlus USA apparently announced Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey's localization today. (I only say "apparently" because I can't get to Atlus' site at the moment.) Hideo Kojima and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto are helping to judge a Twilight art contest, along with Ryuji Gotsubo (who, among other things, illustrated the Japanese editions of the Twilight books). You can probably guess how various Metal Gear Solid and/or Evangelion fans (but probably not all of them) are reacting to this. post comment

"it's an odd curse you are under" [05 Nov 2009|12:24pm] kuwamiko [ mood | okay ] [ music | tokio hotel singing monsoon in japanese ] A terrible oversight! I was just looking at the Jensen spam I posted on my birthday and realized I left off one of my favorite pics of him! So here it is! I may have left it off because I was doing a "young Jensen" spam and intended to do another one when he was older, later, but this picture cannot wait! ^_~ Speaking of spam posts, I still need to do Jimmy-Jimmy and Milla.... Well, someday! Not today, but someday. Right now I'm compiling my lists. I'll post them... tonight? Or tomorrow. We'll see how the day goes. I head to werk in a couple of hours. 2 comments|post comment

ugh [05 Nov 2009|09:52am] darthneko woke up with a mini migraine (the type where you can't move without somebody shoving icepicks through your head). decided that since i have nearly half a day of overtime racked up for the week and some sick hours left, the two could be combined and i called in sick. crawled back into bed where head movement was not required, buried self under mountain of blankets, and that was three hours ago. my eyes feel only slightly scoured right now (i can open them!) and getting up to find food doesn't sound completely outside the realm of possibility. mrph. v_v post comment

she fell into step beside me. the air was damp, the sky gray. a wind gusted out of the northeast. [04 Nov 2009|10:21pm] kuwamiko [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | mythbusters early episodes ] Werd count: 0 I forgot that Tay got me "Running Scared" and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" this past weekend - whee!! God, we SO need a new DVD rack - we've bought at least six DVDs since we ran out of space, and the extra movies are just kicking around on the floor, the sofa, the coffee table, and the tee vee tray. Plus, I hope and intend to buy "Freddy VS Jason" and possibly "Smokin' Aces" (if I can find it cheap enough) soon. If I can't work on my in-progress stuff, then I can at least prepare for next year. I need to make a list. Actually, several lists. I'm looking for Fanfiction Tropes, Fanon Cliches, Fanfiction Cliches, and Kinks. If anyone has anything that they want to throw my way, please do. I'm mainly looking for "Supernatural" related cliches and etc, but even general ones will help. Once I've gotten my lists fleshed out, I'll prolly post them here and see if anyone can see anything I've left off, but I dunno when that's gonna be. You know, mpreg, crossdressing, sex pollen, wingfic, omc.... I'm not going to use every cliche (I've already done several of them in my past fics), but I want to put together a very comprehensive list. *nods* Now, here's hoping I feel better tomorrow than I have been. I already feel better now than I did this morning or this afternoon..... post comment

and i regarded the sky, where the moon was growing [04 Nov 2009|04:22pm] kuwamiko [ mood | cranky ] [ music | werk noises ] Dammit all, I do not suffer from S.A.D. - I fucking LOVE this colder weather and the overcast skies and the rain and it isn't even overcast today; it's cool and clear and perfect! So why come I don't want to write, don't even feel like reading anything?! What is this slump? Hell, it's been four and a half months. I thought in November I'd want to focus on finishing things, but I definitely don't. Well, I have moments where I do, but it's usually when I'm not at my computer, and if it is, the mood has passed by the time I get a file open to the right spot. =.=;; We're getting up an hour later because Tay's off this week and next, and this morning Pepper let me sleep, but I had to get up at the usual time anyhow, to take pills for a terrible headache and mild neckache. I still hurt when I got up, but not so badly, and I'm tired and worn out today. I hope I sleep well tonight and don't wake up in pain tomorrow. ^.^ Speaking of pain, I finally watched "Transformers 2" (I'm not going to write the full, overblown, silly title - it's the second movie, so it's #2). Man, I made the right choice in avoiding seeing that in the theatre! It somehow managed to be worse than the first one, and the few ways in which it was better, it wasn't better in any good ways. (If you can't decipher my meaning, I'm afraid I can't be any clearer.) Both movies seem to have been scripted by a group of 10-12 year old boys, who were hormonal, obnoxious, and had zero idea of how real people talk to one another. And the newest movie didn't even give good Josh, like the first one did! I'm not even going to get into how offensive the racial stereotypes were. *wince* But "G.I. Joe" was just as good on a repeat viewing, even if it made me wish that we had a larger television. ^_~ I really adore Byung-hun Lee - he's so cuuuuuuuuute!!!! *wants to pinch his cheeks* Oh hay, I'm actually writing, even if it's only a post. At some points today I didn't think I'd be able to and even wondered whether I'd be able to continue my daily posting routine. That's pretty pathetic. Well, maybe at some point soon I can force myself out of this downward spiral and stay out of it. Unlikely. But it's my only hope. ]=P~~ 6 comments|post comment

zzzzz... [04 Nov 2009|10:00am] darthneko Why does getting 8 hours of sleep make me MORE tired than getting 5-6 hours does? UGH. Already had tea, may have to progress on to coffee. Just can NOT wake up. x____x in other news... there is no news. Writing on the commute is getting me nano wordcount. mango is slipping, i'm not even a very on-top-of-it mod or cheerleader. i won 3rd place in the brigit's flame mini contest for october! i get banner graphics for the story as a prize. yaaaay! um. english class continues to be made of fail (late grades. missing grades. #$%!@ multi-choice quizzes that we don't have review or study for and which are dubious in their correctness (no, REALLY. it's proven fact from other classes that the online system sometimes has wrong answers coded into its tests and will mark you off for putting the right one in. v_v) at this rate my perfect 4.0 is going to be busted up by ENGLISH class and really, this is just a heaping ton of insult to injury. i am not amused.) the headache of cat herding in page layout class paid off with an A. having everything on my desk at work swapped out for 'ergonomically correct' things is actually sort of sucktastic as my body is going 'whut? no, rly, WHUT?' at it all and nothing feels right. =P but in the good news work is going to give the copy center more heaters, so that we don't have the "rose is a frozen popsicle" thing going on all winter like we did last year. .....and that's all the news i can think of right now. hi? i'm kinda boring. =P post comment

[04 Nov 2009|04:45pm] irreversibly [ mood | busy ] Hello there November. Nanowrimo is..doing surprisingly well, compared to some past years. I have some 7,9k words, which is barely a 100 words less than I wanted to have by today (doing 2k/day as usual, although I've never really kept up with that pace for long). I suppose that's a good improvement from yesterday, when I started writing way late - as in, had about an hour left of the day - and ended up scrunching in a bit over 1k words. Ah well. I've made up for it today. While looking at my notes I discovered that my remaining scenes will net me some 22k words more, presuming my scene average stays the same. I suppose this was to be expected, and it's not like I even meant to carry through the whole Nano with just those scenes. Still, I'm suddenly wondering if I shouldn't be looking through my random notes/questions file for Mythopoeia, coming up with exact scenes needed based on them. Writing by the plan seems to be going surprisingly well this year, so I might want more scenes planned out. post comment

Of milk and tea... [04 Nov 2009|04:02am] shaded_mazoku [ mood | pensive ] [ music | Diablo II - Toru ] I have caramel tea. This makes me ridiculously happy. I also have Hayami Sho talking in my ear. Aizen's voice message for the win! *chuckles* I probably could understand most of it if I really paid attention, but that's not why I'm listening. That man's voice makes me melt into a little puddle of undead mazoku goo. *oozes* Also, up until today, I've always said I have a psychological block against drinking milk. I'm not lactose intolerant or anything, it's just that the flavour of milk makes me go all "Ick!". Apparently, that doesn't count for lactose reduced milk, which tastes really weird. As it turns out, that I can drink just fine. Figures, doesn't it? I have a sudden urge to draw. It goes without saying that it's pretty normal for my art inspiration to abandon me entirely then come back at full force when I really need to write. *sighs* In other news, I now have awesome eye shadow. I put it on before I fell asleep yesterday, and when I woke up, it was still on. Life's little pleasures and all that. Now, back to the writing. Haven't gotten that much done today, I fear. Oh, well. I'll just have to try being doubly dedicated to it tomorrow. Not like I have anything better to do, anyway. It's all Garlic's fault. I can write Ash being a snarky bitch without problem. I can write Isaak's immoral seductiveness with ease. I can write Ember's utter insanity without thinking. I can, however, not write young, carefree and innocent without a fight. Good thing he's a minor character, or I'd probably hiss, give up on the whole thing and go write Kefka until my head imploded from the crazy. post comment

and i respected him as i have few beings of the many i have known [03 Nov 2009|06:20pm] kuwamiko [ mood | hungry ] [ music | g.i. joe ] Werd count: 0 Tthhhpppppppttt...... Yeah. Those are pretty much my feelings. I need to go and fill in some of my empty icon slots on DW - now I can have all the same icons I have on IJ! YAYYY~!!!!! *glees* I'm also behind on tagging again. But I don't know if I have it in me to catch those up. I'm pretty sure there'll be no writing. Maybe I'll do some reading, but I dunno. You know, I just can't imagine watching movies on a screen smaller than 65" now. In fact, that doesn't seem large enough. But I guess that's the whole point of going to the theatre and sitting close (which we do). Er, not that I'm not grateful for our giant tee vee, because I totally am! ^o^;; But it's tough going from watching an action film multiple times in the theatre to watching it at home. ^.^ I think dinner's about done now. post comment

NaNo and such... [03 Nov 2009|06:43am] shaded_mazoku [ mood | sleepy ] Actually, not much "and such..." because I'm about to pass out from the ded. Maybe I'll make a useful post later, when I've had some sleep. In the meantime, have a NaNo word count: post comment

and suddenly i knew him much better than as the pursuing figure of many faces [02 Nov 2009|06:41pm] kuwamiko [ mood | dirty ] [ music | nightmare on elm street 4 ] Werd count: 62 I. Um. Wow. Huh. I don't seem to remember seeing so much potential for incest in "Nightmare on Elm Street 4" back when I was obsessively watching it years ago.... (Good but wrong brother/sister and really bad wrong father/son or father/daughter.) I forgot how much I really liked 3 and 4. They're stupid and have bad effects, but they're just so much fun, with moderately pretty cast members. (Unlike the second one - ech!) I keep thinking the people in the fourth movie are familiar, but then I look them up on imdb and realize that they only seem so familiar because I used to watch this movie so much, and that was a good ten-fifteen years ago. So. INCEST!!! ^o^ post comment

"like a piece of cloak sailing away in the moonlight" [02 Nov 2009|04:57pm] kuwamiko [ mood | geeky ] [ music | waiting for a new movie ] Oh, man, I didn't think I was a "ST:tNG" geek, until I saw this comic, with supposedly "obscure" characters and didn't find them to be obscure at all. ^.^;;; I suppose I should get off my ass and make dinner. It might be easier if Pepper hadn't settled on my shins, in that way that she does..... *sigh* But I loooooove her..... 2 comments|post comment

he had in his hand a cup of sugar [02 Nov 2009|09:13am] kuwamiko [ mood | frustrated ] [ music | i can hear the neighbors ] Oh, for fucking fuck's sake! Thanks to the timeline issues that I'm still dealing with in "Marmalade", I now have to go back and re-structure/rewrite most of what I got done yesterday (which was a pathetic amount anyway)!! *grumbles* Can't wait until this stupid plot-type shit is finished and I can write the action, then be done with the fic! I've already written most of the fun scenes, so now I'm just plodding through the rest of it to get it done. Blah. But right now Imma go and shower. Because steaming hot water and nakedness is good for frustration, yeah? Well, maybe it'll at least clear up my nose some. Eta: Argle bargle. Figured it out in the shower - Imma have to rewrite everything that I wrote yesterday. Which means I completely wasted my time. Granted, it was only five hundred words, but that still ticks me off. *grumps* 2 comments|post comment

then mounted the end of the casket where he hovered, looking like a pharaoh's headdress [02 Nov 2009|07:58am] kuwamiko [ mood | tired ] [ music | morning sounds ] Jeeze! After sitting through the boredom of "Smokin' Aces" and cheering at the Tremor brothers parts (especially when Darwin was making Ben Affleck's dead character "talk" like a puppet while Jeeves and Lester evidently engaged in violent foreplay behind him), the DVD skipped past the entirety of their epic shootout! Argh!! It's not that I wanted to see two of the three die (we did get to see Darwin get shot at the end, then Tay turned the movie off), but that was their blaze of glory, and we missed the whole thing! Considering that they're the only reason we were watching the movie, that's more than a bit frustrating! Yes, that was another Blockbuster copy. We need to get a new DVD player, but we also really need to stick to NetFlix from now on. Blockbuster can go screw itself. ]=P Then we watching "Nightmare on Elm Street 2". I'd never seen that one before, and now I know why. Wow, that was some serious faggotry! And I don't mean because it sucked really bad, although it did. I mean because there was a butt-ton of homosexual subtext! Yikes! Oh, and also it sucked really badly. Poor production values, poor acting, ugly actors, poor sets, poor costuming, poor makeup, terrible scripting, poorly cut together.... I don't regret having seen it, because I'd like to belately catch up on my "NoES" films (I still need to see everything that came after the fourth one), but that movie made "Freddy VS Jason" look fucking Oscar-worthy! ^.^;; I mean, for God's sake, the movie had a Bing Crosby song for the closing credits - Bing Crosby! Oh, yeah, that's much better than Dokken! /sarcasm (I wonder if anyone else knows who Dokken even is. I may be the only former headbanger I know who obsessively listened to even flash-in-the-pan bands. Though, actually, Dokken was more well known than, say, Lillian Axe or Dangerous Toys. Or Killer Dwarfs. Heh. *was a geek even about hard rock*) Pepper got us up early this morning, unplugging the clock radio. =.=;; Not cool! Then I discovered that we were out of coffee filters - I could've sworn we had more, but we don't. So I used paper towels, because no way am I going without my coffee! Though it's not helping much. I could totally go back to bed now. Stupid Pepper. 11 comments|post comment
