I need to come up with four character histories for Fusion.

.......Maybe I should just kill some of them. XD

Shiny computer continues to be shiny, even though I have to play using the keyboard for now. BTW, anyone getting screen tearings during cutscenes, if you have a control programme for your graphics card then just go and turn vsync on. Problem solved.

[edit] A few PC version impressions:
- when enemies are killed, the camera doesn't do that wild turn/swing effect anymore. I suppose it's better that it remains steady, but I liked that effect. ;;
- Turbo mode is... TURBO. Tried it once and turned it off since I only have 2 unions right now, it's not like each turn takes forever. But I wonder how you'd do the critical triggers with turbo on.
- After Gaslin Cave/Robelia Ruins, when Dave sends the Generals to go to Dillmore with Rush, and Rush said "Don't sweat it Dave, we're the good guys, we'll definitely get Irina back," the way he did that arm-pump + hip-thrust and the mildly-amused-look + head-tilt on David's face still make me laugh.

I've got a 20% discount coupon for full-priced products at Borders and Books etc for use between 2nd-5th Nov! (UK only, duh) Anyone who wants one, comment and I'll forward it to your email! Maybe good for Christmas shopping?

Having thoughts about the running of Tenipuri Fusion - participation rate is so low I just wonder if it's worth it anymore. The players are either too busy or just don't remember.

I'm working on the lyrics of Fuurinkazan! (Well, when I'm not working on work.) Should be ready by lunch time.

Oh, can anyone please tell me what Maberaji W is? I know it's a radio show, but... >_> And how the hell do people listen to Japanese radio shows anyway (those not on the net)? Somehow overseas people seem to be able to find a way to listen & capture them as comp files.......... >_>

Of course I am going to preorder the PB photobook. :D *goes*

Wrote a bit more fic over the weekend, but am not optimistic about it being ready to post on Yagyuu's birthday. (Royal Mail will have to deliver my things Very Quickly and I to make things Very Quickly if I'm to have any cosplay ready for this weekend........!!!!)

Delta (not work safe) really needs scanlating.

Was stupid about my downloads and so have smashed my monthly bandwidth limit. Ouch for fees. No more downloading at home for the rest of the month.

elusive_lens is evil.

Forgot about putting stuff on eBay.

Level-grinding on FF12 is frustrating. All chars are about lvl66 atm. How many bats do I have to kill in Hennes Mines before I am good enough to take on Yiazmat? And am I bothered with the rare game hunt? Or should I go on the Bahamut now, be done with it and start my Wii games?

Because I can't be bothered to make several posts under several filters:

1. Wimbledon: OMG OMG I HAVE TICKETS FOR TOMORROW'S FINAL. Row ZA. That's like, the 27th row. BUT HEY I WILL BE THERE. *does Mexican wave with tez_plush!* It appears I have an extra ticket - anyone wanna meet me there tomorrow? It'll cost you £92 (£87 + 5 booking fee). Drop a comment!



2. solaas, giving_ground & elyndys: 12 August pm performance, got 3 tickets. The seller had 4, put them up in 4 auctions, and some fucker had to go and win one of them from me. We were gonna have 4 seats together! Will try to get another ticket, hopefully a nearby seat. Or we can have 4 people trying for one additional toujitsuken. On a normal day I'd guess we'd have to be extremely unlucky to not get one, but it's the first Sunday of summer break, so I won't count on it.



3. FF12: got all Espers, killed Hell Wyrm, not sure if I'm ready for Yiazmat or whatever its name is. Should finish side quests. Except I can't be bothered to chase the cockatrice around Rabenastre.



4. Someone should go beat Yamato up. Or beat Yukimura up.



5. Fusion!Tez is about to participate in the Nippon League as a n00b. I'm wondering whether he should 1) do rather badly, 2) do rather well, 3) crash out due to injury, 4) win the damn thing and rock the Japanese tennis circle.



6. The guy (whose name turned out to be Lucas not Lawrence) should be ringing me about taking the TV. I suppose he doesn't want it. *attempts to defenestrate*

Fusion
It's Fusion's 3rd birthday today. *pets it* I need a new icon. XD

Yamato "......" at the fact that Sanada and Yukimura are sharing a room next year. I don't think he's too unhappy about it, but it's a sort of mixed feeling. Also, I think it's about time him and Yuki talk about certain things.

Also, I need to figure out if Kato's going to med school with Yamato or not. XD

Tez needs to post. >D

sharpie, wtf is this song OMG. gfdjkgljdlgjdsklhjkh. SANADA, WHAT SORT OF THINGS DO YOU LISTEN TO.


Writing
I've finished my first Higa story on the train, it just needs to be typed up. It's all very experimental, of course. It's... fluffy.

Yes, you heard me. Higa fluff.

......

I amuse myself, really.


Other
I'm clearly allergic to work. Starting to feel progressively more rotten after coming into office. Could it be the carpets? Or could it be the work?

Uh, big boss just came and said he didn't expect to see me here today. Goddamn, should've stayed home. But then again, there is work to be done.

Bags - other schools' designs would be different and need to figure out how to make it nice and stuff. Hyotei, for example, have to be part blue part white, split vertically. Need to think about that. And I don't know how a Seigaku one should be like, yet. But, will experiment. *makes loads of bags!* If they come out nice I'll take commissions? 8D?

I will not draw Rikkai members as bees. I will not draw Rikkai members as bees. I will not draw Rikkai members as bees... Yukimura will not be a queen bee...

[edit] btw, remember this? The wife and daughter are refusing to take the father's body with them back to China. They're leaving it for HK government to deal with. Oh and they plan to go back to meet Andy Lau, because even though he is "scum" and "heartless", they want to satisfy their dad/husband's dying wish. [related article]

Also, the current crisis involving British soldiers in Iraq/Iran waters somehow reminds me of the Cold War. >_> Probably because of the arguement with who/what was where, and there being 2 (or 3) sets of coordinates, sort of like how there were 2 letters sent to the US and blah. But it's so different I don't know how I made the connection, really. x_x

AND, another thing... ever wondered if Konomi will throw in something like, Yuki Sana vs Zuka Fuji in D1 in the finals? XD He's been tossing in surprises left right and centre, afterall.

On Saturday, we discussed the origins of pub names (if the artist drew a white horse for the sign, they'd name it The White Horse, for example. Therefore many pubs are named after animals), and also how pub names sometimes use royalty + body part (eg King's Arms, Queen's Head).

Tine: Perhaps it's not really body parts, but arms as in weapons.

Pez: I don't suppose "head" is a weapon, unless they're referring to it as a sexual weapon. *ponders*

Tine: Oh, maybe whoever named the pub wanted to show her admiration for the king's manly arms?

Pez: !!!!

Conclusion: when I grow up, I want to open a pub called The Emperor's Ass.

Seikai (Seigaku + Rikkai) are having a charity host club today. Who do you think will get the most customers? Vote! (vote is open to non-RP-participants too, just for kicks.)

[edit] for anyone curious, I'm apparently a chibi seme. And 20_laps is a clueless uke:
You really have no clue, do you? You're satisfied just to have someone to eat hamburgers and play video games with, and are completely oblivious to other's manipulative behavior. You don't expect much, and that's good, because you're perfect prey for the Opportunist Seme, who will take advantage of you, and you probably won't even notice. But you'll be happy anyway, because ignorance is bliss.

Oh dear. What do you think, Fuji? Is this right?

I'm bored. Please spam me with things.

Or, ask me a question. About anything at all. I'll give you an answer (though not necessary the truth).

Packed what I need from the kitchen, although I think my sister would want the kettle and microwave and the Tezuka-maker. Not sure how it's all gonna fit in her kitchen, but that's her problem!

I still have too much stuff T_T WHY.

Moving house at noon on Friday. Boss is sneakily giving me a day off! >D Booked man & van, I intend to make him carry all the heavy stuff (ie almost everything) because my back is fragile. Have no male friends to help... actually I haven't asked. I can't think of anyone who'd be willing and/or who isn't at work at that time. (I complained to Freddy about Y2. I wonder what he'll have to say. IMISSFREDDYIWISHHE'DCOMEBACKT_T.)

Acupuncture FTW!

Meh, typed up no fic today. Haven't written anything exciting anyway. I'm just going ":O SENGOKU" at the moment. Maybe after this weekend I will be more creative again.

Fusion!Yamato is one horny bastard. I'm pretty sure he thinks about sex every 3 seconds. Although, he defends himself by saying he just thinks about Yukimura at 1.5 second intervals and every other time the trail of thought involves sex. Or something like that.

Or give your suggestions in the comments!!!!1!!!!11!one!

Watched OVA Nationals 1-7 last night. TEZZZZZZ. ♥

I think after the current plotline in Fusion, I want Tez to become stronger, emphasise that tsuyoku naritai in him. He is already simply incredible, but. He was stronger to start with but was then forced to hold back, but now he's got it back and he should just go vroom vroom VROOM and, not be invincible or indestructible, just strong, with clear, defined goals. With a sense of presence - which is everyone always talk about anyway, in the series, that Tez has a great sense of presence.

Anyway, the current Fusion things will only serve to make him stronger. People always say he looks and behaves older than he is, which is true, but there are still parts of him that need the test and this is the test for him.

Also, seriously, Tez without challenges and responsibilities? Life'd kill him dead. He'd just shrivel away and die from underuse and boredom. He is all about tsuyoku nare, tsuyoku nare. Without buchou-ship or student council this year, he's already been rolling around going jfksdjfsklfjslafjsa. Can't let him do that for much longer or he'd go crazy.

Yay for random Tez fangirling. FANGIRL TEZ HERE!!!
