Apparently when I say 'later tonight' I mean 'the next day, after I pass out for thirteen hours straight and then have to play catch-up with household chores'. But here! Have the rest of that meme!

For one week, recommend / share:

Day 7: whatever tickles your fancy Peach flavored pig-placenta! And other horrifying soft drinks from around the world! I love you, flange5.


Finally, an image that came to mind while listening to Jillian, the five-year-old, sing along with Arashi:

Ohno crawled on to the couch, clambering over Nino to reach his spot. "Kazu no mukou e," he said triumphantly.


Now, off to work with me. While I'm there, somebody please tell me that NaNoWriMo is a bad, bad idea.

Day 4: a site Rifftrax. They don't make movies--they make fun of them! This is the crew from MST3K--Mike Nelson, the head writer and host; Kevin Murphy, the voice of Tom Servo; and Bill Corbett, the (second) voice of Crow. They are hilarious. I love what they did with 'Batman: The Dark Knight' and 'Twilight'. ♥

Day 3: a book/ebook/fanfic If I tried to make a fanfic rec list it would be a disaster--nothing but mad flailings at the keyboard and heavy on my flist (because you're awesome!) so instead I'm going to recommend a book that I truly love. It's Only Companion: Japanese poems of Love and Longing. I love the traditional waka poetry. Love.

And now for the meme that everybody else is doing! (AKA: The 'my flist is awesome' meme.)

For one week, recommend / share:
Day 1: a song I always feel like I'm on the low end of the 'has music to share' scale because, well, I'm old and I live in Wisconsin and I liked Arashi for the music before anything else. But I DO have things to share and get you hooked on, oh yes! MU, MF The song called 'Iron Man' and is by Color Band. It's from the Black & White soundtrack. Here, have the main theme, too! MU, MF.

If you need another format or there's a problem with the links let me know and I will fix it/re-up it when I get home from work. Also: Dear to F-list. I love you all. You make my life so much better.

Some of you may have noticed a lack of spam, others may have noticed that I am a whore and haven't provided Stripper Pole!Sho yet I haven't posted lately. Real life decided it was time to suck now that the weather is going nice(er).

My mom had a stroke last week. Actually, she had three and the last one ended with an intracerebral hemorrhage. In other words, she was bleeding into her brain. So. Yeah. Things really sort of sucked for a while because Wisconsin was having nice--if very rainy--weather and Minnesota (which is where I'm from originally and where my parents still live) was getting a metric fuckton of snow. She's all right now, mostly. And it's not like it's entirely unexpected for her to have had a stroke--her cholesterol is crap and she's...well, I won't say 'old'. But I'm thirty-one and one of the youngest out of their fifteen kids--my parents are just a wee bit advanced in age.

I had to take some time offline to deal with that and I feel much better now. Plus, I got to come back to the flist being AWESOME. (I have to catch up--so if I missed something, please to be telling me about it and demanding that I participate in your awesomeness.)

I'm sort of hoping that I'll be able to actually write something again soon. >.< Stubborn writer's block is stubborn! So, since I'd like to concentrate on fun things, I am going to present you with the Works-in-progress meme thingie that I've seen around. You know, the one where you post a single sentence from stuff in your 'to write' pile? I'm not saying that all of this will get written--some of it might just end up as deadfics--but have a glimpse into my 'write this you idiot' file (yes that's what it is named).

( WIP Meme! )

Yeeeeeeeeeah. I'll just get right on those, shall I?

orz Why did I think that thinking about my fic would make me happy? *weeps bitterly*

The first five people to comment to this post get to request a sketch of a character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their artistic/writing ability. If you absolutely can't draw, you can offer drabbles or icons or something instead.

It will be drabbles. Actual drabbles. 100 words, no more and no less. I hope. orz The first five people and only the first five. Even if I reeeeeeeeeeeeally love you. You will need to give me one character and a word/object as a prompt.
