I just found out that Dokurodan are making doujinshi again. They stopped in 2007, not sure when they restarted but there's a new Moja Akaya book! Must get, somehow! Their website hasn't been updated except for the front page which has links to their twitter, where all their event information goes now, it seems. And a link to Amazon for their Moja Rikkai book that got published. WANT SO MUCH.

Dokurodan, active. I cannot explain how happy this makes me. (also, they seem to want to explore SanaYana, if I haven't misunderstood their tweets!?)

First of all, I must draw you guys' attention to amazing Dave fanart fdsjkfhlaksfhsla!!!!!

In fact, check out amei's TLR fanart (she doesn't seem to tag stuff so just click through the journal!) and wredwrat's fanart here because, oh god oh god. *___*

And now, some non-fannish stuff.

I spent last Wednesday AM wondering why my back and hips felt misaligned and walked with my top half bent 20 degrees from the vertical. By the evening I finally realised that I damaged my back *again* and it wasn't my hips and thighs that have been hurt, it was sciatica. I therefore decided that 1) I was going to sleep downstairs (old sofa thrown away, have been using Liz's mattress as temporary sofa) because I couldn't bear the thought of going upstairs for bed and 2) I wasn't going to work on Thursday. Both of which were good decisions.

So, on Thursday I became friends with diclofenac and Final Fantasy 7. Movement, especially getting up after lying down/sitting down for a while resulted in OW OW OW OWWWWWW, stuff like that.

On Friday storme ditched work to look after my broken self. ;; I mostly just lay there on the mattress in front of the TV and made pathetic noises.

On Saturday I felt okay enough to go out for some fresh air and sunshine. We went to the noodle bar near the top of North Hill, which turned out to have 1) tasty tasty kon chow beef ho fan :D and 2) wheat/gluten free options. Wish we knew that earlier! Did some shopping. Had amazing ice-cream. Made pasta and apple strudel at night. Collapsed again due to broken tiredness.

On Sunday my "new" sofa arrived. It's a perfectly good sofabed from my sister, who's recently moved house and wanted a different sofa. So we set that up, cleared up some stuff, moved around bits of furniture (well, I directed. Storme did the moving. ♥). Now the house is looking much better, except for my Faize cosplay stuff which is still everywhere. Made soup. Baked chocolate cake.

We discovered that we never actually played TLR together! But still we didn't get around to playing it. Again. orz I made loads of progress on the Faize cosplay and also fixed the Zidane one, though, thanks to having been stuck home.

We also watched some Yakitate! Japan and Bill Bailey, though I don't even remember which nights those were.

At the moment I still can't be standing up for very long without needing to sit down. Sigh. Still drugged with diclofenac.

Tomorrow I'm taking the day off to get my dental crown fixed in the morning, then to go to the FFXIII launch event at HMV Oxford Street in the afternoon. To be honest I'm more excited about there being a new JRPG to play than there being a new FF to play, if you know what I mean. I'm also looking forward to Resonance of Fate/End of Eternity, despite it being produced by Tri-Ace (Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean: TLH. Urghhhh.) I don't care, I just want JRPG.

At work right now. Checking financial stuff and sending out invoices. Can I please have some engineering to do?

Item 1

Due to 1) time constraints, 2) it was I who dragged her into this, 3) Dave would be very sad without Rush, I took it upon myself to help storme with the sewing. Not quite done yet, but hey!

This has two layers of wadding inside. At least one of us will be warm. I'll probably freeze in my outfit.

Item 2
Because I promised to post these. These photos are from around three weeks ago and I keep them in a folder called ( wig madness. )

Posting from mobile. Today has been awesome and dramatic! Met up with Storme who's really really awesome. Apparently we sat at the pizza hut table for so long that we broke some record for the waiter serving us.

And now I'm at the hospital because my sister has given birth a few weeks earlier than expected. I'm now an aunt. O_O

Oh and I bought an amazing and amazingly expensive coat.

LOL. More later. XD

(Not many people recognised who I am since the game's not that popular, but those who do... well, about half an hour ago I was standing there chatting about the game to someone for quite a while. I think our conclusion was that the game's just too hard for some people. >D Oh, and that Dave is awesome.)

(Oh, and I bumped into sephirayne, but because I suck and am scared of meeting people unprepared... yeah. Sorry, hi there. XD; Maybe I'll see you later today or tomorrow?)

dystopiarcadia, kedi_kedi, thephoenixboy, elyndys, and of course giving_ground, this Saturday in London is go!

I'm guessing we'll meet up at around lunch time, but whatever time you can come is good. ♥ Any suggestions on what to do/where to eat, fire away~

thephoenixboy: I think I need to convert to Rikkai for good now.

yuki_scorpio: EVERYBODY SHOULD WRITE RIKKAI FAERIES FIC.

kedi_kedi: We can make Sanada fart glitter!

giving_ground: And you can illustrate for us. :D

thephoenixboy, kedi_kedi, giving_ground, yuki_scorpio: LOLOLOLOLOL.

yuki_scorpio: I need to put this on my LJ!

Thanks for the comments on the house-get! :D

giving_ground and I met up with thephoenixboy, kedi_kedi and dystopiarcadia today. We had edamame. XDDDDD And because we were at Wagamama, of course doodling happened. Lots and lots of fun. They dropped by my place, then after we sent them back to the station, on the way home I started wondering what internet people expect of each other the first time they meet up. Ayla certainly turned out different from what I expected, but I can't really say what I expected her to be like XD Really, I only had her added to the flist recently. But. Yes. Great fun today. (And I wonder what people expected when they meet me for the first time...)

Ah, so tired now, the good kind of tired. Tonight's plans: Fusion chatness with sharpie, scanning doujinshi, and typing up Viking Cheese which I'd finished on the train this morning.

btw, Ayla standing next to Syl? SO CUTE.
