(7:29 am PT) - Friday = pain
[link] - (sore)

Got in yesterday. Knew there would be a Jtown expedition. Didn't know how much walking would be involved to get there. Apparently it wasn't the normal route. I wasn't aware of this until it was too late.

For the record, large people + heart history != long walks (not without doctor's advice first)

But I knocked out a small portion of my toGet list. So there's something But I'm very stiff and sore today, do not like.

Going to see if I'm needed for bag stuffing, get my volunteer hours, then come back and lie down for a few.

(9:13 pm PT) - The ouch has a name
[link] - (sore)

All symptoms and conditions are pointing to tendonitis. Likely caused by overdoing it on the advanced step aerobic on WiiFit. What makes me irritable is the approximate recovery time. Three weeks. Boo, I say. I wanted to lose some poundage before the con, darnit.

School. I won't say the class is fun, but I'm having a better success rate of getting the assignments in before the due date here than with anything that required essay writing. Still working on the calc as I realised it doesn't accept keyboard commands, so want to implement that before I call it a veener.

Thanks for all the advice on flying, everyone. (Some of it seriously makes me appreciate buses a tiny bit more.) Kit, Lari, I'll try and email you both this week for more details as you both know the route and resulting idiosyncrasies best.

(5:52 pm PT) - ow
[link] - (sore)

Major headache. Maybe migraine. Took excedrin, but it's taking its sweet time.

Recipe front. I tried this earlier this week, tasted pretty good. Though the filling was such that it could be divided into 8 smaller burritos if one likes. I always liked the packet recipes, because there's no pots or pans involved.

I'm torn between writing a KH2 fic, or beginning the Slayers yaoi_challenge fic due in May.

The program running yaoiville.net has been upgraded, but it's going to take a lot of work, so that will have to wait a bit. I just don't have the energy and concentration for that level of coding at the moment. But I did hit on one solution to a ville related problem. I wanted to create a newsboard for people who might want another place to advertise things, (like Kalli's KH2 contest with real prizes that you really should check out if you write in the fandom </ad>). I was wracking my brain trying to find a suitable script, only to realise LJ lets you embed a journal using php. Now it's a question of if I want to spend another $3 a month for a paid account to make sure the style fits. That I still have to think about.

Sleepy, and want to write, but this headache says I must do otherwise, so think I'll lay down for awhile.

Oh yes, external HD. Should I use it as a backup and keep everything on the internal hd, or use it as the main file storage drive? I want to know before I attempt the great sp2 upgrade. ::shudders::

(8:26 pm PT) - Ugh, pain
[link] - (sore)

The major tooth problem is giving me just that, problems. Unfortunately, while I prefer to save it, I may have to let the dentist pull it depending on what my shitty insurance says. I just want to not have to keep taking motrin like candy, or panicking when I'm between bottles.

Didn't get much accomplished today. Got sideswiped with a case of exhaustion and slept for most of the afternoon. Better now, but I hate losing a third or so of the day like that.

Oh yes, if anyone got a Kougra plushie from the last Neopet-McDonald's happy meal trip, um, think of me. I kept trying to get one, but no dice. I'll part with my Cloud Kacheek, which was the only painted plushie I got.

Now to either make some sidebar backgrounds, or go through some artbook scans and make some desktop images.

(9:44 am PT) - 13th
[link] - (sore)

I really should title my posts better. I have a hard time trying to figure them out whenever I go back. Oh well, C'est la vie.

I'm slowly getting all the mods I wanted for the villes done. Might add a couple of more things for functionality, which is preferable than when I'm coding to correct stupidity. Stupidity coding is not fun. It's work, unnecessary work, because it could be avoided if people just used common sense. Which is why I need to get into the habit of preventative coding versus curative. Even if something isn't a problem, assume it will be and code accordingly.

Some dickhead tried to use my smtp server to spam. McAfee caught it, but I'm just wondering how they did it. Until then, I'll only turn it on when I really need to, versus leaving it on as I had.

Okay, small rant/point time. Well not a rant so much as something I think really needs to be said.

Nobody is denying anyone the right and ability to rant and/or whine. Anyone with a comp and a connection can get a blog just about anywhere and whine "all the day live long." No problems.

However, there's a certain unspoken but (should be) generally known etiquette even with that.

If a person does not specify who or what put them in a foul mood, if they just complain with that 'in general' air and don't make it known that not all parties are included, then it's safe to say that all parties, whether true or not, will take it personally. This, regardless of whether or not they know they're not the target.

"Well if they know it's not aimed at them, they shouldn't get offended," right? Wrong. Because to people that don't know everyone on an individual's flist, to someone just coming onto a person's journal for the first few times, it will appear as though such a post must obviously mean everyone on that individual's flist. And that's where the offense comes in. Plus, there's the fact that it would appear one doesn't care enough about those such a post isn't aimed at to make sure they are aware, "No, it's not you."

Specify. It's not that hard. If it's a case of hurt feelings and trying to spare them, get an LJ, GJ, or whatever blog has the ability to lock a post and just lock the damn thing. (And if it gets back out even then, you know you have someone you need to cut off your flist real fast.)

(3:20 pm PT) - gruj
[link] - (sore)

I feel achy and tired, and generally "unwell". Problem is I don't know why or what's causing it. It feels like the kind of aches one would get with a cold or flu, but I have no other symptons. Still, I've put in a request for Dayquil. If it goes away, I'll have my answer.

I don't like this, not one flippin' bit.

Now to go recode yaoiville so I'm able to add static pages without trying to screw with that damnable template system in use.

edit: just found I have a low-grade fever (99.6), so I think it's safe to say it's something in the cold/flu variety. Man, that sucks.

(12:27 am PT) - If you're wondering
[link] - (sore)

If you're wondering why I've been quiet, well aside from trying to get something working on yaoiville.net, I've only three words to explain my absence.

Emergency Root Canal.

Hope that covers everything.

(8:35 pm PT) - Pain
[link] - (sore)

I just took a $100+ hit for shipping. I feel violated.

To those I owe belts to, I didn't finish them in time, so I'll ship those later... when I've recovered for that hit, most likely.

And to Bill and CW, um, when I said that next week? I meant next month.

Oooh, the pain...

(7:26 pm PT) - Pecker preview
[link] - (sore)

I didn't want to mention before that I was having some trouble with those peckers. I didn't have a good grasp of just how to paint in the details. Tried coloured chocolate, too thick. Tried food paste, too thin. Finally opted for powered food colour, using a brush dipped in water. Seems like it will work, and it dries well, which was my main concern.

Anyway, the test pecker is done, so thought I'd show it off. This is more or less a first attempt/rough draft, so I'm hoping they look better as I get used to them.

For your viewing pleasure: So not work/school safe

(3:27 pm PT) - The eternal fight: pretty versus badly subbed
[link] - (sore)

The prettiness of Saint Beast is marred and dampened solely by the bad subbing from having a Chinese dvd.

If someone finds me SB scanlations, I'll bear their children be eternally grateful.

(3:06 am PT) - Hot and Gmail and sorry, I have nothing interesting to say just yet
[link] - (sore)

There's a heatwave in my area, so I'm laying around like a dead slug, wishing it would go away. Hence the silence.

Kalli, sent that invite off. Sorry for the delay.

Sinuses... must rip out...

Miracle, congratulations, luv! Though considering your talent and the time and effort you put into your costumes, I'm not at all surprise. Enjoy the win, you more than deserve it.

Ever since Domino requested a snippet, which I still have to actually work on, I've had the feelings of muses locked up behind a wall, wanting to get free, but not knowing how. I need a sledgehammer.

Although I have this BanxGinji number in my drafts. Just a quiet moment sort of thing...

Okay, it's late, I'm tired, and I've been playing Achaea way too much. Let's hope my sinuses will let me sleep.

And if the next few posts seem like random texts taken out of unknown stories, it's me trying to break that muse wall.

P.S. Kit, did you get the CDs?

(5:30 pm PT) - Still under
[link] - (sore)

Nope, still down. But thanks for all the get well thoughts. I'm feeling slightly better, but not yet enough to try for a chat. (I'm going just slightly batty about that.)

Anyway, a question. I'm just looking for any more licensed manga and/or anime with shounen-ai hints/plots/whatever. Don't throw Banana Fish at me, I refuse. Something about that screams tragedy, and I don't think I can handle getting depressed just yet.

On a random note, I read that there's going to be some more Mirage of Blaze OVAs. I am teh happy.

I go now to do the manga thing at RightStuf.

(8:58 pm PT) - apologies, offline again tonight
[link] - (sore)

For those interested, nope, I'm not going to be around again. I'm really getting irked by this, but honestly, lest anything think otherwise, I don't have a choice. Being in a lot of pain just makes me exhausted, until I'm falling asleep in my chair.

As it stands, the cold I thought I was getting over two days ago has made a comeback. Plus we got the start of a heatwave yesterday, which doesn't help me. Finally, I started my cycle, so along with the unusual amount of pain from this cold, I got cramps. And I'm on my own with this one. I don't think my familial units grasp that, yes, I'm ill. So I just take what stuff I got and hope this thing goes away eventually.

There's just no way I can sit up for anything like a chat. I'll see if maybe a quick laydown will help, but better too just say not to expect me this evening.

(2:00 am PT) - Small insomnia break. The cold still lurketh.
[link] - (sore)

This is the first time since the last post that I felt like sitting up for an extended period. Course, it happens when everyone else is asleep.

After my last post, things just went downhill in the health department. Truth, it bothered me a bit. Most of my colds involve a nose that thinks it's Niagara Falls, and a cough to put a lot of smokers to shame. That's fine, because if I keep tissue on hand, I can still operate a computer. (Just have to keep the keys from getting sticky. Ew.) This time, however, I got a very mild cough, nose is okay, but I felt extremely achy/sore and all but exhausted. Hence why I haven't been on any chat; I couldn't sit up long enough to even think about having a meaningful conversation. Besides which, knowing me, I would have probably just complained and bitched, least when I was lucid to do so. And who wants to hear that?

I'm still rather sore. It's in the upper arms more than anything for some odd reason. (Or if it's not an odd reason, clue me in.) And let me not forget these very strange headaches that leave me with a near inability to focus, and I can't wear my hair in a ponytail. Yes, that's correct, I have to keep my hair down or the headache gets worse. And I wasn't even wearing it tight. I didn't loop the scrunchie at all, just tossed it on. Could easily come off when I sleep. Couldn't do it. I'm currently looking like my zodiac namesake, because it's falling in a mane.

Did I also mention this cold/condition/whatever has lead to bouts of nonsensical rambling at length about nothing at all?

Well, if I'm going to ramble... no, I'll save this bit of family drama for another post. Really, there's only so much of me I can take, let alone what your tolerance levels are.

Maybe if I go play Pac-Man, I can bore myself to sleep.

(6:35 pm PT) - sickness
[link] - (sore)

Written in a delirious haze as I try to put a very different spin on being sick...

===

Is it possible to feel a lover's fingers beneath your skin? Can they make you shiver from the inside without the ofttimes clumsy acts of sex? It must be quite a stroke to the ego, to make me swoon and grow hot from the lightest, most airy caress. Such a marvel, to be sure, of the power you have over me. You leave me weak and aching in all the right places, yet never, ever wanting.

If only you didn't take it so far, then it could be heaven.

===

If you don't see me tonight, you know why.

(11:16 am PT) - Quiz crappage time
[link] - (sore)

Yes, that oh so boring as hell joyful time where I bombard the feed with quizes I've saved over the past few months, and spew them out in one massive overload of wasted time.

Ain't it great?

The usual situation here. I'm not putting it on my front page, nor killing people's friends' pages, so you'll have to follow the link below.

(9:19 pm PT) - you may cringe as I try to describe a headache in a stream of conscious
[link] - (sore)

If the subject hasn't scared you away, nothing will.


The warhammers send the message to the gods. They come with their clubs, morningstars, and maces to subdue the infidels that sought to rise up from the chaos. Back in their celestial palaces, those left behind dance to a heavy bossa nova rhythm while stamping their platform shoes in time to the beat. The trickster pulls a few into a conga line, slapping a tamborine as the metal rings leave a tingle in the air that doesn't seem to dissipate. On the ground the enemy is crushed under the heavy weapons, a chorus dull thuds as they meet with vulnerable flesh.

Somewhere in a tropic region, a virgin is tossed into a volcano, but the god isn't happy with the offering, and unleashes his wrrath on the villages below. Off to the side, a surviving shaman cackles at the destruction, as he holds their salvation just out of their reach.

And to my weary eyes, it looks like a bottle of Tylenol.

(12:22 pm PT) - ouch
[link] - (sore)

So I was trying my hand at making some shrimp and mushroom tempura. And in doing so, I learned valuable lesson. Don't use whole shrooms. You can't get all the water out.

Now I have a very painful burn on my right hand, (namely index finger, pinky, and parts of the wrist), which is making it difficult to type.

Otherwise, it came out okay, though I'm going to look for a different batter recipe than what I had.

Ow.
