WHOOPS I HAVE NOT POSTED IN A MONTH LOL
About that.
( We're just gonna cut this.... )
I think that's it, so ... until next month (I hope not)!

Meh.
So Bradley's becoming quite rude. I went to the kitchen to make dinner this evening and while I was standing around waiting for water to boil, he decided he wanted to act like he hadn't seen me all day and DEMANDED to be petted. It's cute when he waits expectantly but patiently, wags his tail and puts his chin on your leg, but this time he bumped me with his nose, put his paw on my foot while I was looking away, and then pawed at my leg. No, he got in trouble after that. I love him, but that's pushing the boundaries of acceptable behavior.
I got a reddit Secret Santa match today so hopefully the card I'm making will be appreciated~ ♥ Gonna try to get the design done tonight and the supplies tomorrow, as it has to be in the mail by Monday. IF YOU WANT A DECEMBERTIME CARD TOO, you can leave your address here. Hint.
IT WAS IN THE 60S (~15-17C) THIS WEEK. *ヮ*
Theresa sent me PKMN Crystal in the mail toda so maybe I'll get that soon and play the crap out of it. I know I brought it on myself but I'm starting to get pretty tired of Sapphire.
Still no word on R. A. Dickey, and I hear "Friday" being tossed around a lot in NHL players-and-owners-only (i.e., no Bettman or Fehr) discussions. :S
MAYBE we'll post videos from NYCC this week? -A- Laura found a video of all the Berryz stuff from AnimeNEXT, though!

Things that happened today.
•ichiP!'s panel is FRIDAY AT 7:45! We got it!
•I had a dream I straight-married a short, gay, named-Paul Brett Lawrie. I love my stupid dreams.
•The Mets let me down. Again. 3-2/10. And Chip's last AB turned into his last PA when he walked on four. LAME.
•I got upset with football updates because seriously no other Big Four sport will give updates on baseball, so why should baseball do it? WHY IS WHAT I LIKE UNPOPULAR? ;A;
•I got upset with God Bless America because it's Sunday. I sat and drank my beer. Rassafrassin'...
•I found a guy who totally looks like Bolin, though!
•HETALIA DAY PLANNING where are my fellow mods and why are they not deciding amongst themselves who gets to do what?

MORE ANXIETY DREAMS
Let's trade hockey for some Berryz Koubou shit, shall we? Thankfully, it wasn't a terrible nightmare.
( Oh god. )
I have severe issues, this should come as no surprise to you.

SEE YOU IN THE SEMIS :D
Lundqvist made ... I think it was 31 saves? in a 2-1 win over Ottawa at the Garden to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. :D Marc Staal and Dan Girardi with the goals: defensemen! Daniel Alfredsson scored Ottawa's goal, and you know what, I'm glad he did. I like Alfie a lot, and I hope I didn't just watch his last game.
Also, I made an ichiP! cake for our anniversary. It's strawberry flavored! And I screwed up the H a little bit and it kinda looks like a 五 but since it's our fifth, that's okay! XD I'll throw in some shitty anime dansu for lulz:
MY ICON BRINGS GOOD NEWS
( HAWK-AY )
Working on the ichiP! tumblr, which for now will just be all the videos slowly reposted over the next sixish weeks -- I guess I'll include pictures eventually -- and another Mets game tomorrow. They're playing the Marlins, which means Jose's coming back to Citi Field, and I can't wait to see the tribute and how the crowd receives him! *A* Going hella early to make sure I get in on time! Mmmm, three ballgames in a month, I rather like this (and since I found out about that student ticket price, Iiiiiiiii'm gonna abuse the fuck out of it).
I should do my laundry. And some sewing. Hmm. :|a

So is the world stupid or is it me?
Mom: Venus, are you going to be here tomorrow?
Me: No, actually, I have to go to work.
Mom: Oh, well, if you see Dad come in with the groceries, help him.
Me: ... But I'm going to be at work.
Mom: I didn't hear that part.
Me: That was all that I said!
It's not me, right? It's everyone else that's stupid? I'm just wondering, because I like to think one occurrence is chance, two is coincidence, and three is a trend, but this is the third one. It's not me, right? I just wanna make sure.
Some interesting things I found on the internet. One, then ten colleges with the least happy students, as determined by the Princeton Review. I wasn't surprised to see a few of the military schools on this list, but I fell out of my chair laughing at number ten.... (pssst, that's where I work.)
Also, those giant flea-things that you had to kill to get the Tears of Light in Twilight Princess? Yeah, those are real (seriously, trigger warning, it's a giant bug, and if you're freaked out by bugs, you won't like it, I promise you).
This happened today and I had no idea until I was on my way home and I got caught in it. Not so much "caught in it," since I wasn't carried downtown by the mob, but more like "I had a tough time trying to figure out how to cross Broadway with the march and all the cops not letting people through." I saw a family (they looked like tourists, the poor things) sneak their way through, so I followed closely behind them.
I figured out the hand thing for Munasawagi (mostly. I think)! This is mostly right, it was just hard to tell what goes on which counts. I know what to do now, it's just a matter of getting my body to do it. Speaking of dancing, there's also this. If I could speak a lick of Korean and didn't wanna be imprisoned for five months ("home school"? But I'm thirty!), I would totally give this a go. I might half-ass it just for the hell of it. I got nothing to lose except time I'd be wasting on the internet anyway, right?
ARYAAAAAAAAA~ I'm glad she actually cut her hair because the wig she wore in S01E10 was atrocious (please continue to be awesome, Maisie).
Hmmm, feels like I'm missing something... :|a Rangers won (3rd in the league! Minnesota and Pittsburgh have played quite a few more games, though), coming back from a goal down in the first, 5-3. Canucks are down two at the end of one, without Mason Raymond, because the paperwork to get him back on the team didn't go through in time? So I hear. What nonsense!
Finally, it's December 1, so it's Decembertime card time!! If you'd like a card, please leave your address in the comments (they're screened, of course), along with your preference of holiday (a religious one or a New Year's one or general Decembery goodness), and I'll be happy to send you one (Cherry, I've already got yours; I'm actually putting your gift in the mail tomorrow)! ♥
P.S. This "post every day" thing is a tough habit to break; expect me to spam your feed for at least half of the next week. XD

Waking up to go back to sleep.
While I was kept rather busy at work today (wanna piss me off? Give me fifty of the same things to do, but piecemeal), I've done nothing since getting home. Rather, I've done a lot of one thing, and that thing is sleeping. Since six or so, I've slept about four and a half hours. It's eleven. I'm bored and I have nothing to do and I'm feeling mopey and lonely, so sleep is the best fix of all three of those.
I've been relatively flying through A Clash of Kings. Now that I have a better picture of what's going on in my mind, it's not so boring. I'm now second (of two) in the queue for The Omen Machine, so I need to read faster! Hopefully, I get a lot of that accomplished tomorrow. Not looking forward to it at all. Just gonna keep telling myself that in twenty-four hours, I'll be back home and comfortable. Holidays keep getting worse and worse and I would rather have some teeth pulled. Should look into getting that mini fridge for next month, and a rope ladder so I don't have to leave through the house (THIS IS HOW BAD I AM).
So it looks like ichiP! and P*P are going to collab on Munasawagi Scarlet for AnimeNEXT. As it was my suggestion, I'm pretty damn excited. I don't know how we're going to work this out, and I should probably start sketching it up just to do it. At times, it hits me: OMG BERRYZ KOUBOU but other times, I'm pretty indifferent because chances are I'm going to miss them just like I do everyone else, and whatever ichiPeach! (which is what I call us in my head, because Paradise*Pantsu is a BAD IDEA) winds up doing will be just another show. All my panels will be scheduled during Berryz' shit, watch (though if they don't post group rates soon, I'm gonna prereg alone. Not like I won't get my money back). :V
Here's where![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jennybenz's meme runs out; rather, it has one question left, but I'll save that for next week. Question that I'm snatching from the other meme is 20. Who has the best rivalry? I don't know too much about other rivalries around the NHL (though Leafs/Habs seems like it would be fun if I were a fan of either team Toronto (because ew Montreal)), but here's what I do know:
•I've been told I should hate the Blackhawks like a good little Canucks fan should. :D Obviously, also Boston, those fuckers. >:(
•jennybenz, help me out. Who don't I like because of Buffalo?
•More like the Islanderps, amirite?
•They're from Jersey, haven't they been punished enough? (No.)
•More like the Broad Street Bullshit, amirite?
Herp, locality. Three teams within ~100 miles of the Rangers, derp.
Speaking of the Rangers, they fell 2-1 to Florida tonight (Canucks are winning 2-0 after two, though!). Okay, so I guess our next seven-game run will start on Friday. We've got, um... awwww, Washingto-- dammit, Philly on Saturday?! D: The third game is against the Penguins, and while I didn't include them in the rivalry bit, I can't wait to beat them: Crosby's back, so I hear, and it's always fun to make everyone's favorite princess cry. >D
So, maybe I'll listen to the third period, maybe I'll read a little more. I won't eat because I'm not hungry, but I'll certainly be back in bed before midnight. Just... continue ignoring me, it's okay. I'd rather you did; it's not like I'm not used to it.

There's good news and there's bad news.
Which do you want first?
( The good news! )
( The bad news. )
Dad's scarf is awesome. I did a lot of work on it and I'm back on pace! \o/ I've still got a bit to go, but even if I don't finish it tonight, it's a lot less left for tomorrow than I had to do today (and worse comes to worst, I can bring it with me on my commute on Tuesday). Canucks are currently beating the Isles 3-1 in the third -- a game I can actually watch! -- and I will thoroughly enjoy watching my teams gang up on and beat Dad's twice in three nights. XD
10. Do you/have you ever played hockey? Um, we played indoor ball hockey in gym class in junior high school, does that count? I have a very distinct memory of being a SHITTY goalie (I didn't wanna be goalie, it made no sense. I was even smaller then than I am now). XD New York's a very basebally-basketbally town, especially in the city proper, where we don't have all the space necessary for hockey (or football). Let's be honest: I can't even skate very well. I can stay on my feet, and going fast is really fun, but I don't have the greatest control once I get going. XD

Not much to say tonight:
•Spent way more time than I should have trying to re-cut one of the songs for the show, but Laura and I got it eventually. Augh. Music's all set, though!
•Knitted a little bit. Scarf is now eighteen inches long. Only another seventy-eight to go! X_X
•Work is busywork.
•Enjoyed some of the baseball tonight: watching Ryan Howard strike out and the Phillies lose is always fun. And then Ryan Braun's aggressive baserunning in the first inning of the Brewers/Dbacks game was awesome. But yeah, Game Fives EVERYWHERE.
•Sent out some messages. Slowly crossing things off my to-do list. Very slowly.
Heading to bed much later than I had hoped, but still relatively early. Enjoyed the sleep last night, so I'm looking forward to that again.

With respect to important things:
Actually that's a bit of a lie. I did nothing productive at work. I did a lot of not-work at work. And now that I'm off, literally, in the corner, no one gives a shit. And F and D haven't been around.
Jessie is having trouble with her French class, so I'm helping her. Her first test is in two weeks, and she just needs to know the really introductory things, like colors, numbers (up to 60), days, months, clothes, avoir, être.... basic, basic things. I was reviewing with her for over an hour. XD
More next-month stuff.
E-mailed Katsu about my $60 reimbursement. Fastest I've ever gotten a response. Sixty bucks is a lot of money to broke anime fans, especially ones who're driving five hours just to get to the con!
All my teams lost tonight, man. Red Sox lost (this is awful) against Baltimore, Mets just lost to the freakin' Cards, and the Rangers lost their first preseason game in OT to the Devils (Brandon was wearing an A. I'm very happy but also very confused). Speaking of hockey, WHY DO I HAVE AN AD FOR THE BLUES IN MY SIDEBAR. I'm quite angry at St. Louis right now. XD
Lots of dansu the next couple of days. ... I'm suddenly very tired. Might be an early night tonight.

Still tentative, but will probably be confirmed:
Panel: IchiP!
Date: Saturday, October 15
Time: 3:30PM - 4:30PM
Location: Anime Stage
OKAY SO I AM SUPER EXCITED because not only do we get to do our show on a Saturday, but it's not during the masquerade and it's on the Anime Stage! This is, like, everything I've wanted. ♥
The slot is for an hour, but we'll probably wind up doing about forty minutes or so. Not only will we eat up time inviting people on to dance with us (hopefully), but we wanna hang around and chat and not be unceremoniously booted like '09. Man, that was really crappy. ;a;
But yay, timeslot! Plan accordingly! ♥

Sunday.
Oh shit, it's Mother's Day. Right. So happy Mother's Day to your mommies, grandmommies, aunts, sisters, and other important women who helped raise you, flist (even if today's not Mommy's Day in your country). ♥
I was productive today, and by "productive," I mean not. I genuinely slept today, so I should be fine now, and the urge came over me to re-read Vagabond, so I did. Goodness, I miss that story so hard. I've been reading in short bursts at a time, and so I'm in the middle of chapter thirteen right now. And, not going to lie, I'm pretty sure that this story was a big push and help in writing up that monstrous forty-page (in a wide-ruled notebook) character backstory I did so many years ago.
I miss having ideas for things to write, too. I hate that I'm halfway decent at writing but have no ideas for stories, yet I can't draw a stick figure and I have a thousand ideas for pictures. What's wrong with me? Even if I were to get prompts, there's no guarantee I'd be able to come up with the necessary ideas and ~*inspiration*~ for even a short four-paragraph vomit. How I long for 2004 and 2005, the years of Musebarf. Anything I wanted happened. Le sigh.
Anyway, I also worked on Finland!hat some more. I got it to fit -- not snug, just a little loose -- and am working on figuring out the ear flaps. I'm working in the dark green yarn; I just hope I have enough to finish the second, the edges, and the touches. I doubt it; I'll probably have to start over on a fresh skein. Dammit. At least I have a template.
That, sadly, is it. I thought I had something else to carry over from yesterday, but I'm not sure of that. Anyway, new ichiP! video, narrated by me, apparently. XD

Sakura Matsuri videos!
( Are behind the cut. )
Matsuri was great, and I wish you had all been there! ♥ The writeup for Matsuri and Costume-Con will be in a later post, but the videos just went up so I wanted to make sure I shared them before I forgot.
Costume-Con, by the way? *shrug* Eh. Kinda sucked. I wouldn't go back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. More drama tomorrow, I suppose.

Dresses are almost done!
Fitting Erica again after work tomorrow -- also, what is hopefully a quick practice -- just need Laura's help doing all the rest of it (because I'm fucking sick and tired of these things and I don't want to look at them anymore), especially because I can't fit my own dress without a dressform. And then I can pack -- NO COSTUMES TO WORRY ABOUT! 8D -- and then I can stop caring about everything ever and spend the rest of May sleeping, watching hockey and celebrating my birthday. FUCK YEAH.
Boston and Tampa both advanced, hurray! Boston's gonna take on Philly, and Tampa will have Washington. I thought I would have a day off, but no: Vancouver plays Thursday night. Ohohoho~
That... yeah, that's about it. DOUBLE SHOT OF COFFEE TODAY WHOOOOO because I totally fell asleep at work twice on Wednesday.

FUCK YEAH ALEX BURROWS
( Ka-skip. )
I fit Erica's dress today, had a Skype conference with her and Laura. Practice and final fitting Thursday, Laura is spending the night so we can hit up Costume Con from here on Friday. Did a little dansu. Erica's dress is hemmed and the belt loops are almost added -- I was too nervous to sew when the Canucks game went into overtime -- the trim is going to go on next and then the zipper. I'll get to the neckline tomorrow, I suppose. She's so lucky hers is squared! Mine is a pain in the ass.
Found a crochet pattern for Finland's hat; it's good. I have to rework it a little because my needle and yarn are smaller than the pattern calls for, but NBD; should only take two or three hours (I have to go slowly or I'll make my stitches too tight, or worse, lose count). So that'll be settled for North, which is good, after I fix my shirt. The edges are fraying.
That's it. I will be incredibly fidgety at work in the morning.
My dirt candle is pretty awesome. It smells like damp earth in my room, which is weird. Gotta say, though, this thing liquefied really fast (and I have trouble believing that "liquefied" is spelled correctly when the verb is "liquify"). Looks like I've got plenty more hours on it, though.
Back to work on Erica's dress. Only another two hours before I have to get a wink of sleep.
Oh, Game of Thrones whores: where can I find the second episode on the blagotubes? I was kind of driving through Connecticut when it aired on TV.
Oh yeah, a meme. Respond with "GO CANUCKS" and I'll ask you fivelame questions because I'm terrible at coming up with them.

I fit Erica's dress today, had a Skype conference with her and Laura. Practice and final fitting Thursday, Laura is spending the night so we can hit up Costume Con from here on Friday. Did a little dansu. Erica's dress is hemmed and the belt loops are almost added -- I was too nervous to sew when the Canucks game went into overtime -- the trim is going to go on next and then the zipper. I'll get to the neckline tomorrow, I suppose. She's so lucky hers is squared! Mine is a pain in the ass.

Weekend, I am disappoint.
I will find the time to bitch about this weekend when I can, but tl;dr - Boston was shit, and I'm divorcing sports.
I was thinking about the dresses all weekend, and MAN am I glad to have something to put this pent-up energy into tomorrow. In the meantime, researching how to crochet something, then sleep.
Have an ichiP! video.

I MADE THIS IN TWO MINUTES CAN YOU TELL
( About 90 seconds was spent looking for a decent picture of Lundqvist. )
I'm not upset, though, because I was distracted. ARGYLE SOCKS *grabby hands*
My dress is hemmed!! I'm gonna hem Erica's and then go sew mine. Yay~

I schlepped down to Erica's right after work for sewing bullshit. It didn't go as fast as I'd've liked -- four hours instead of three -- but it was good enough, and we got a bit done. Her dress is at the same place as mine: ready to be hemmed. I will do that tomorrow because... no. Mio set off my allergies, so I've got a stuffy nose, a slight headache, and no attention span.
There also may or may not have been some Star Trek: TNG happening. >.>;
That was my day; work was extremely boring, as it's spring break and therefore slow. I sat at the front desk doing nothing for two hours. I'm not complaining.
( And other shit. )
Think I'mma call it an early night.

Salvageable?
Erica's got off work tomorrow so I'mma schlep down there with everything after work to see what can be done. We just might pull this off if she can do some work on her own thing while I try to figure out mine (not to mention that I need her to help me hem. Hemming comes first, looking at Laura's, and then everything else, so I'm stuck for the moment). I hate all-nighters, and I will have them for the next ten nights (probably. Yes, even at the cons. I will stay up and sew by hand if I must).
I need to pack for Boston; I don't even know what I'm wearing yet. ASDFGHJKL I need a third thing. ... Wait, the Red Sox are in Los Angeles this weekend? Are we sure it's Anime Boston? They always play the Yankees or Mets at home over Anime Boston....
Also, I suck at picking teams that are going to win.
Damn, forgot to include the new video again. No big, it's just the Matsuri announcement:
"J-Lounge Stage" is a bitch to say clearly! No, I'm not into IT Crowd, it's forced repetition from Laura that's got me doing it. Also, some Boosh shit. ... Fuck you, Laura. XD
