Had no internet since yesterday afternoon. Now I have it and I see I haven't missed as much as I would have hoped for. Thought of a hundred things to post. Now I can't really think of any.

Fandom, you are being so frustrating. What is this, dead season? Fine, I'll just go back to translating this sweet documentary about garbage trucks.

Dolls

Just finished this video. I made it really quickly by my standards - just 2 eves. I began cutting footage and it just came out naturally. I was always fascinated by this PV's imagery and it didn't seem like it would mix well with any other footage. I really felt like making something simple, something intuitive. This is more of a sketch, really. I think it reminds of Mireille Alen's Yours and I kinda like that. This is also the first (and most likely last) time I'm using a music by a domestic artist, and an instrumental at that. But the track is called "Doll" so it just felt right.

PS: Tried twice and stupid YouTube still stretched it. Oh well.

[NEWS] 120913 JYJ vs. SM Entertainment verdict postponed again

According to the the Seoul Central District Court, the verdict for the ongoing case between JYJ and SM Entertainment over issues related to past contracts has been postponed.

The two parties were unable to reach a mutual adjustment back in their latest court session in August, and thus a new date was set for September. However, although the verdict was to be issued by 10 AM today (13th), the court recommended that the two parties mediate and postponed the verdict once again.

JYJ’s legal representatives commented, “The court has once again recommended that we try to mediate… Although there are differences of opinions, the court believes that an agreement can be reached and strongly wishes for the issue be mutually settled.”

“We will be adjusting our schedules so that legal representatives of both sides can meet again soon and try once again to come to an agreement,” they said.


The court is just being pussies again. They're afraid of the backlash from both SME and the media. This isn't even funny. I have a feeling this lawsuit shall never end, like they will get old before they get a verdict.

I actually had Nicky and Sean appear in my sleep last night. That's from restoring my MSP folder yesterday. So nostalgic. They're like family by now. I check on them every few years to see how they're going, professionally and personally. Turns out Nicky has a boy as well as Clara and Sean has 3 kids by now. James still doesn't have any which bothers me for some reason. I'm still not quite ready to accept all of my past with them, the scars are too deep, but I'm sure I will some day.

Waking up again
To the same old thing
To the same old songs
To the same old pain

I felt the sunset overland
And it made me fight again
But tomorrow came too quick
And I went back to bed again

Cocooned in this world
Where every single thing hurts
Bones broken up inside
Look at the boredom in my eyes

MSP, "Groundhog Days"

Okay. I dreamt about Jae. Again. We got to meet him is some kind of apartment that he seemed to be renting. I didn't get to say much because I was very confused what language to use and stuff. But I was totally stunned by how sweet and friendly he was.

旦那様 (だんなさま

伯爵 (はくしゃく

復讐/復讎 (ふくしゅう

契約 (けいやく

命令 (めいれい

I might add more later.

Kuroshitsuji II

Finally. I finally watched it. After I watched all OVAs and both musicals it seemed inevitable. All in all it was pretty much what I expected it to be: grim and too complicated. If in Season I there's some homoeroticism, in Season II it's outright paedophilia and sodomy. I dislike Claude and Alois, they're pretty much just rip-offs and basically the main plotline was kind of ridiculous. It's all confusing and you keep wondering what the fuck happened after Season I. I kept WTFing all the way. Like, dude, he'd lost an arm! Did he go to Demonic Limbs shop to get a new one or something? But it wasn't all bad of course. I like the way Greil becomes Sebastian's ally. And after all the ending seemed fitting.

Been collaborating with FAIX lately. I'm kinda amazed there are basically just two people who manage the site, that knowing they also have 12! other accounts including facebook, twitter and tumblr. They asked me to share some of the radio shows and I did. Really sorry they lost their audio files collection though, I only had two. Also today I saw FlorPotter translated my latest recap of Ameba studio) I sort of felt honoured, you know. I think they're really amazing for all of the work they do. I wish they'd get more credit, really.

Just wrote a funny scene for the fic. It left me in a really good mood. Makes me think "So it's really true. Everything you need is inside you".

Writing has become very important to me lately. I guess I really got to the stage when I felt "Why try to read someone else's stuff and be constantly dissatisfied when I can write my own and make it everything I want"? I know I'm still lacking but as with everything I'd like to think I get better.

Certainly some of the work I've read have been pretty influential. I have read a LOT. But in all these years I remember this one girl from Scotland who wrote Yoosu. I can't say she was crazy good and I was sort of her beta but I liked what she wrote and nobody else did it that way for some reason. Her fics were kind of small and didn't have much of a plot. They were just a collection of scenes, like how the characters met, how thet began dating, how they moved in together. I really liked that. So I guess in a way I want to create something similar. With Tora and Shou it comes easy, the scenes just keep coming.

Writing Part 3 now and it's all around the place. I mean it's a puzzle more than anything. It's a lot like with the poems. First the beginning, then the end, and then working out the middle. I just try to put down, sketch everything that comes to mind and then try to make sense of it. Currently have 11 bits which are mostly just drafts and I need to figure out how to put them into a logical progression, some parts might become separate one-shots and some might make it to Part 4 if there shall be one. So there's only about 1500 words right now so it's a long way to go. But slowly it's taking shape. Trying to make it less fluffy and failing miserably. Not like it'll matter now, I totally gave myself away with two previous ones.

I just made the coolest translation trick ever. I couldn't translate 100 handjobs so I changed it to 50 blowjobs. Market prices.

Went out for the first time in about a month. We talked quite a bit, mostly about myself and my social inability which made me slightly uncomfortable just because I felt like I was complaining which I really wasn't going to. It was ok, I guess but I can't honestly say I enjoyed it. As we parted I wished her a good vacation and somewhat awkwardly patted her arm which I always do when a hug seems inappropriate but suddenly she hugged me and much tighter than casual friends would. As I turned away I couldn't help thinking "Will we ever meet again?" I'm so hopeless.
