Things Various

Question: What do you do if you have a fansubbed .avi burned onto DVD (of a non-Region-1-available-anime, I'm a good fan) that shoves all the subtitles down to the bottom of the TV screen and half off the screen when you play it? I really want to watch Gintama but I can't read the fansubs because they are cut off. We've tried changing the ratio aspect on the DVD player but it did not help. Gintama has not been released in the US, has it?

Ahhhh! Holy Moley, I have 3,000 words on my 7thnight_smut story done. And it's barely started. Yeeks, I fear it shall be a long one-- I'm not usually one for writing the over-10,000-word fic, though there are exceptions. Perhaps I shall cheat on the plotty bits. "A few days later, after these paraphrased things happened, Character A said this." Fear my sloppiness and laziness, O Recipient! Heehee. I'm kidding. Mostly. ;)

I have a strange ear thing going on. For a couple of weeks now I've felt like something was tickling the inside of my right ear. And I've been especially deaf, lately, driving sharpeslass nuts saying "What? WHUT?" after every phrase she utters. Last night it was driving me particularly insane, tickling and making thumping noises twice as fast as my pulse (else I would have thought it was my own pulse). It doesn't hurt. Any ideas? I suppose I should go to the doctor. :(

Happy Sunday, y'all!

My ears, particularly the right one, have been clogged for months. I've been using flonase (prescription) and claritin to clear it up. I'm not sure if what your describing could be from fluid, but allergies/ear infection might be the culprit.

You know, it could be an allergy thing, 'cause I definitely have those. I think I just started to panic as I started to realize all the really serious things that could be causing it (i.e., bugs, ear cancer, aliens, blood-pressure, etc.).

And just so's ya know, I'm having so much fun with my prompt.

I'm so glad you are having fun with it! I know a lot of participants are struggling, so it's good to hear that someone is finding the exercise enjoyable. ^_____^

Yeah, it was driving me bonkers, and then we had the swine flu scare so I finally went to my MD. For me, it's either allergies or a persistent low level infection. I'm still feeling pressure, but not the clogged sensation. I hope you get to the MD so you can allay your worries.
