Who was it who posted recently about the travel ad that included Canada as an Asian destination? Because iTunes Genius is pimping me a J-Rock mix based on "hide, Gackt, Billy Talent, and others".

Did we get annexed while I wasn't looking?

Even Alberta?

Many thanks to disutansu for bringing this to my attention. Just what you need to chase away the Friday blues: Prince of Tennis parody of the Ouran High School Host Club OP.



Best. Ever.

So, the other night I found out that my partner of oh-so-many years doesn't like Kaidoh Kaoru. He claims he told me this five years ago. I think I would have remembered it though.

Poll #1493666
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 60

What should I do now?

1. Prince of Tennis friending meme.

2. New shin tenipuri chapters -- 19 & 20! Just raws so far: http://mangahelpers.com/m/new-prince-of-tennis/chapters/

I'll have to wait for a translation/scanlation for, you know, intellectual commentary, but I did have two reactions I'd like to share:

( *indrawn breath* )

Thing the First: Twitter

I am getting all into Twitter these days (finally) and I am looking for more cool people to follow. If you are a cool person (and I'm sure you are) and you're into having me read your cool tweets, please leave your @name in the #box.

Poll #1493164 Extra Super Cool People On Twitter That Hal Can Follow
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 17

@name

If you think I might possibly be a cool person whose cool tweets you would like to read, I am, unsurprisingly, @prillalar. You can judge my current level of coolness by reading my past tweets. There's no poll to rate them, though.

I solemnly swear I will never post my tweets to LJ, cut or uncut, nor will I egregiously spam you with tweets (unless something really exciting happens, like I'm watching The Prisoner again).


Thing the Second: Sunshine

The sun was out today and consequently I am in SUCH A GOOD MOOD that I think I would probably promise anybody anything. Or maybe write some fic. :)


Thing the Third: Cheese. And Also You.

I'm finally close to getting all my fanfic into WordPress (God, AO3 will be a whole nother thing!). I've been working my way backwards by year and I'm in 1998 now. Then just a couple from 1997 and I'll be done. (The data entry, at least.)

It's been kind of a downer for a few reasons:

☞ It's so tedious.

☞ So many of the characters in my X-Files fic were dead by the end of the series. One story had Spender, Pendrell, Krycek, and Baldwin (well, he was from Millennium). ALL DEAD. (Seriously, SPN cannot compare.)

☞ I really didn't write very well in 1998.

But, mostly:

☞ The old files have so many names -- beta readers, dedications, thanks -- of people I've lost track of and, in some cases, don't even remember at all. Which I guess is normal after so long and maybe I should be more surprised by the people I am still in touch with. There are still quite a few people from that era -- my fannish cohort -- still on my flist.

Thanks for still being out there, guys. I miss those crazy days of TXF. ♥

I am home with flu-like symptoms after getting my H1N1 shot last night. It's pretty mild -- a few aches and chills and being stupid in the head -- so I'm just sitting on the couch drinking tea and watching South Park. Including this Japanese dub of Casa Bonita.

( Casa Bonita da! )

Also, what do you think would happen if Cartman and Bender teamed up? Or maybe they could be my minions.

As a Canadian, I have only one response to American Thanksgiving:

Where's MY fucking turkey dinner?

(I guess I'll have some cheese instead.)

I am prillalar@googlewave.com.

I have 8 Wave invites -- first comment, first served! All gone.

Also: Any recs for waves to follow that are fandom related?

Also also: drop me your wave ID!

It's PIKL Day, the bi-annual celebration of Inui/Kaidoh goodness hosted by disutansu! Check it out -- there's art and doujinshi and other stuff! http://disutansu.livejournal.com/398508.html

I have two items myself.

1. The story I just posted: Forecast

2. My new project: voice recordings of my fanfic over at Tumblr. I'm planning to do more than InuKai (and not just Prince of Tennis) but I started out with that for PIKL day. :) Let me know what you think! (Including if you think I'm reading too fast or anything.) http://prillalar.tumblr.com/

In conclusion: InuKai ♥
