Random Belated Updates As Per Usual
I really am behind and I apologize if I've missed something important on your journals, my friends! But I think the PMS was just bad last week and I'm only now coming out of the blahs. :)
Shoot, I had a three-day weekend and like 10 fics I wanted/needed to write, but only got 188 words written ("A Strength" for the 15-minute "58" challenge at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
saiyuki_time). Now, I've gotten some very kind comments and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
inksheddings made an excellent argument for brevity when necessary recently, but I'm used to having to force myself to stop writing! I would whine that quitting smoking has made me write less except I've actually completed two pieces since I went off the nicotine. So it's just me and my blah.
I went to Indiana to visit mom a couple of weeks ago. Mom is doing great! I drove her to a couple of her radiation appointments and got to meet her doctor and everything. And I met lots of women with no hair waiting for their radiation appointments and I was glad both because (a) those gals are the survivors, yay! and (b) my mom does not have to have chemotherapy and go through what they went through. Oh, and I shopped. A LOT. I bought three or four pair of shoes and three dresses and probably a dozen tops and a couple pairs of croppy pants and stuff forsharpeslass ('cause I'm a GOOD friend) and OMG, I love Von Maur so much. I wish they had one here. An interest-free charge, and their stuff is about Nordstrom-level nice without the Nordstrom hassle (driving downtown, finding parking, etc).
sharpeslass and I watched some nine episodes of Antique Bakery-- the anime. What a strange little show. The MELODRAMA! The PASTRIES! The GOOFINESS! And yet, it's somehow also manages to be touching at times. I read that they made a Jdrama of it, and removed all the gay. Wha? It seems the gay is the point.
EDIT: OH, and I forgot to mention that I've read Azumanga Daioh 1, 3 and 4 and I loved them utterly. They cracked me the hell up, so much so that I was laughing out loud on the plane. God, I love the teachers. And Chiyo-chan. And Sakaki with the Iriomote Cat.
Other than that, it's really freakin' hot outside. I guess that would be LAS VEGAS IN JULY, but still.
Hope everyone is well. :)

What are you thinking of WK? I asked M if she'd like to give it another try and the answer was "no." I figured I'd ask again after she's been softened up by everyone's talking about it. :)

I love WK. The anime is cracky and silly as all get out, just like you all said, but.... I love it. Apart from Farf, who I want to seriously kill from annoyance.
Saiyuki is my religion, but WK is the first other anime to get me excited since I discovered Saiyuki. The rest I've toyed with ;) Still, nothing will drag me away from our boys though ;) *pets Gojyo*
Damn M. Oh well, if you can't sway her, you can't sway her!! :)
