Quick hit: DoReMii released the sub for ep 11 of the Prince of Tennis Chinese drama! Torrent only, so far.

Download while sleeping, squee in the morning. :) :) :)

BIZ TRIP
Home. Five days gone, travelling three of those, two flights each day. Even with luggage mishap (resolved now), things went okay. But, to quote everybody's favourite character, "So good being home!" I'm not sure how far back I'll be able to read my flist before going cross-eyed. Or going comatose from tiredness. But I'll try!

FUTURAMA
26 new episodes! So excited! Kill all humans! We're re-watching from the beginning, to get even more psyched up.

WIMBLEDON
So sad about Rafa pulling out. Here's hoping Roger wins, but it just won't be the same. :(

MUSIC
Metric's new album, Fantasies, is the best thing I've heard in about a year. I can't get enough of it. Related to the previous item, every time I listen to Gimmee Sympathy [youtube], I think of Roger and Rafa. And sometimes Ippo and Sendoh.

PRINCE OF TENNIS
We watched the anime movie last night. I'm not sure there will ever be anything better than Tezuka killing the dinosaurs. Except maybe the Chinese drama! Watch the S2 trailer and shiver in delight! (Thanks to disutansu for the link!) Here's hoping for lots more of my Holy Triangle. And my boyfriend Ju Wan is as cute as ever.

WOLVERINE
Saw this a couple weeks ago: hot men, awesome fights, and lots of CanCon. Four claws!

IPHONE
3.0 so good. I want to do more writing on the go. Any suggestions for the best editor? I use Notes for, well, notes, but I hate the font. And still no editing of Google docs via Mobile Safari. I use BBEdit locally, so I want text/html, not Word.

WRITING
I was doing great with 20 minutes a day for more than two months before work stress derailed me. Now I need to hop back on. Even though it's more work than pleasure, I feel a lot better when I'm producing content. And it's always a joy to have written.

YOU
♥

Just to say: I haven't been around much lately because work has been frantically busy and super-stressful, so that when I get home, I just kind of switch off. (Or play the Sims, which is pretty much the same thing. :D) Apologies to people for email I haven't answered and birthdays I've missed.

And today I'm leaving on a 5-day business trip! If I have decent internet access in my accommodations, I might actually catch up on LJ while I'm away. However, I'm not even sure I'll have mobile service where I'm going. (My provider is great for the major urban centres, not so much for smaller communities.) If so, I will catch up when I return.

In other news, the Boy and I finished our Prince of Tennis series re-watch. (Except for the new OVAs! The show will never end!) I don't think I had actually watched the final episode before this -- I guess I was in denial. (I'd read the end of the manga, obvs.) I love how no matter how freaked out and weird the series was, at the very climax, it falls back to the heart of a sports series: play because you love it.

I'm hoping to watch a bunch of Kamen Rider Ryuuki and Initial D while I'm away! If I don't just spend all my time re-watching the subbed dramapuri eps. :)

I hope you're all doing well! I miss you guys! ♥ ♥ ♥

Resolved: I will stop calling myself lazy when what I am is tired.

Here's the drabble I wrote for PIKL Day, reposted here for posterity. If I'd only had 15 more minutes with it, I'd have worked in some Friendly Giant references.

Early One Morning by Halrloprillalar / prillalar
Prince of Tennis, InuKai, 500 words, G.
Just as the sun was rising...

( The squeaking woke Kaidoh. )

PIKL Day InuKai love post! at disutansu's LJ! Go forth and read and post about InuKai. ♥♥♥

I've only had time to frantically write and post a drabble; I'll be able to read and comment after D&D tonight. (Also, answer the comments I owe people!)

Item: Happy Birthday, pixxers! I hope you have a fantastic day. ♥ *sneaks over and eats your brains*

Item: May Long! Stat holidays fill me with such sloth. I will be lucky if I get "Watch Kamen Rider Ryuuki" checked off my to-do list today.

Item: I'm sad I didn't see the Madrid Open final but I did get to see the photos of the sweet mutual grooming at the awards ceremony, so that was something. :)

Item: I forgot to post about it, but I saw Star Trek last week and it was AWESOME.

Item: I need $20K to buy a car. Do you think I would be more lucky with a lottery ticket if I'm only hoping to win a small amount of money and not six billion dollars? It seems to me that such lack of greed should be rewarded by the universe.

Item: I cannot think of anything clever for this item.

Item: I like BRAINS! cheese BRAINS!

You know those days when Momoshiro keeps hanging around in the InuKai you're writing, doing his best to change it into MomoKai, and you finally have to promise him an evening in Atobe's limo to get him to behave?

Yeah, me too.
