ffvii_100 [ white_jenna ]	5:46p	Look Under Your Seats! Title:  Look Under Your Seats! Characters/Pairings: Genesis, Angeal, and "other" Team: SOLDIER Rating:  G Word Count: 100 “It was horrible, 'Geal.” “I know.” “They started shrieking before I entered the studio.” “I saw.” “She grabbed my hands and I really couldn't send a Thundara through her and kill her on live tv, could I?” “No, that would have been bad.” “And, Goddess, then she started jumping up and down on the couch and you know I adore Loveless, and having my annotated edition as her book club selection is wonderful exposure to the masses, but I feared for my life and.....you made apple tarts.” “Looked like you'd need them.” (1 Comment |Comment on this)
nekojita	4:23p	Cam is here!!! Okay, a slight complaint against Iplehouse - I NEVER got an email confirmation when I placed the order nor when they shipped Cam. I've been checking status every few hours, tried the code they had in the order status on the EMS website and got 'not found' every time, and nothing changed since I contacted them last week (where they told me the order was being boxed up but Cam's face wasn't done yet). I'd even whined to Mac today that it was obvious that the boy wasn't going to get here for the upcoming holiday, and maybe not even by year's end. So imagine my surprise when I came home after having lunch with a friend to find a slip in the mail saying he was here! Of course I had to rush to the post office once I was done with work to get the boy, and I've taken lots of (semi-blurry) pics! One thing - I probably should have done more research and gotten the mobility thigh, as his upper body seems very tight but his lower body is very 'loose' in that it's easy for his upper legs to pop out from the hip joints. He's also a *bitch* to get to stand up, compared to Aidan, an IP YID doll who really, *really* needs restrung. Cam is *heavy*. Gorgeous face, though, very sharp features, Had a moment of panic when I swapped out his eyes (he came w/ blue, and I got some green ones that'll last until I buy a better pair) and his head came off as well (twisted the hook when I tried to move it out of the way, it seems). I really need to trim his bangs, but am too nervous to do so (wonder if my hair dresser will mind doing it for me?). And as soon as I get Aidan's custom outfit and see how it turned out, I'll be ordering one for Cam. I've left the post unlocked since I'm not sure how many pics of the new IP EID Chase doll are out there yet (I know I ordered the doll the first day he was available as non-LE) - yes, yes, I'm a bad DoA member and need to spend more time on the site. In addition to all the unpacking pics, I've included ones of Cam and Aidan together, since I do know it's not too easy to find comparative pics of the EID and YID dolls (or at least there weren't many out there over a month ago). Aidan is definitely very delicate compared to Cam, but I don't think the size difference is as bad as I feared. ( lots and LOTS of pics behind here ) So glad the boy is finally here! And that Aidan isn't so alone anymore. Will try to take better pics of the boys posed together in upcoming days (after I recharge the battery).

ffvii_100 [ yohjideranged ]	3:39p	Prompt #124 We're back! Thank you for being extraordinarily patient with the absence. It's been more than hectic lately. ^^;;; No points were awarded for the last prompt. This week's prompt is #124 - Talk Shows Is there a beloved Oprah figure on Midgar television - does she have a book club with free copies of Loveless for everyone in the audience? Did Godo ever take Yuffie on "My daughter is out of control"? Is Lazard addicted to the daily gossip show? Is Rufus being grilled by an environmentalist on the late night? Has Sephiroth landed a gig on the equivalent of Letterman as PR for  the SOLDIER program? Is Cloud faced with a slew of young women claiming that he is their "baby momma"? EDIT: or "baby daddy"...hey, in fanfic fantasies it completely works! Whether the character is a guest on a talk show or just watching one on television, write it in just 100 words. <<prompt courtesy of white_jenna>> (8 Comments |Comment on this)
yohjideranged	3:17p	Lateness Finally made it through the semester, but am running smack dab into the holidays. Spent the last several days in various states of vegetation: sleep, couch potato, zombie. I am finding it a little hard to get a few things accomplished, like sending out holiday cards and gifts to family. If you are expecting a card from me...it may show up late. Family packages will show up sometime after Christmas. Starting to get back into life little by little. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

nekojita	7:47p	WK Fanfic and FF7 Fanart Okay, I *promise* that there will be more AoC by Christmas. *And* I'm hoping to write a couple of winter-themed one-shots in upcoming weeks. Real life... has just been unexpectedly busy and down lately. I think 2009 was just determined to be one heck of a memorable year, good and bad. Anyway, enough of that. Sometime last year I 'auctioned' off a fic. The person who placed the winning bid asked for a Weiss Kreuz pirate AU fic. Here is the (non-worksafe) result: http://www.catsdreams.com/archive/whitecross.html Also, in the last few months I placed an art commission with the extremely talented karadin (who, by the by, is accepting fanart and original art commissions right now at her LJ). Not worksafe! But yowza, such pretty, naughty boys! http://www.catsdreams.com/fanart/renorufusfinalcolor.jpg Oh! And I've updated the website with a FF7 snippet, Push.

yohjideranged	11:31p	Is it over yet? I just wanna hide under lots and lots of blankets for the next few days. Unfortunately that will have to wait. Final push of projects - finished the awful book review and the term paper, still have presentation of group project (hopefully, I don't make a fool out of myself tomorrow) and another book review. the last final will be online on Wednesday - hooray! You see up there where I reference the "awful" book review? Yeah, that review turned out to be 14 pages. I hope the instructor chokes on it... See, the assignment was this: "Your review must be divided into two parts: a descriptive part and a critical part." No problem...that's do-able. Here's the insane part: go over every chapter in the book and offer a brief description of the author's key points. Wait, there's more! When doing so, explain the method of development - the way the author supports his/her thesis. Illustrate your remarks with specific references and quotations from the book. For a book that has 13 frickin' chapters...holy hell, professor! You could have had the class write research papers and they would have been more fun and entertaining. Talk about sucking the life out of a project. Then... In the critical part of the review, you need to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the book... yadda yadda yadda. Yeah, so that's done and I am glad that it is. That means that this particular class is finished for the term. I have the Pacific World in Transition in 19th Century class ending tomorrow. the other two will be finished on Wednesday and then, I swear to whatever god or goddess may be frickin' listening - I am so going to hibernate for three days (at least)! Yeah, I'll get right on that...just as soon as I read that book that should have been read last week for the book critique that is due on Wednesday! O__o (2 Comments |Comment on this)
