Rave on // I hope you hear me

Holy cow, what a weekend. I was going to try to post yesterday, but stuff kind of got away from me -- had all kinds of craziness on Friday, which included: delicious fucking empanadas, a flat bike tire, dressing up like the cat in the hat (for work), and getting home at like midnight (thanks to this fox -- otherwise I would have been screwed [see: flat bike tiiiire D: ]); Saturday I opened, so I was running on about 4 hours of sleep -- and we had events all day, so that was nuts. Worked on my bike a bunch when I got home, getting it all ship-shape. Or bike-shape, or something.

GUESS WHOOOOO DID WELL AT THE LIBRARY INTERVIEW, YO.
They're supposed to call me by Wednesday, but I aced the written test and the "put these books on the shelf right" test. My fingers are crossed so much.
In other news, I taught my nephew how to say "sugoi" and tried to teach him what density was. Density got confusing (I'm not very good at the explaining of things), but he had a lot of fun just writing random Japanese characters, so that was cool.

To subdue your raging curiosity from a few posts ago: hell YEAH I'm still wearing a Space Dandy jacket! Who do you think you are talking to.

Look at these things now! Loooooook

Well in war he was a tiger

When it was over like a dove

He summoned all of his faith in the lifting

It suffered all of his faith in the fail

I love you, baby (oh, please don't hate me)

You're feeling a little sad tonight, but you'll be alright

Guess who can't stop watching Steins;Gate

...even though I have a bus to catch/work stupid early tomorrow.

But really...anime, how many times have I told you to stay out of my head.

Also, because I am updating while watching:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH BWAUGRHAUGH. This better get fixed with time travel or I'ma slap somebody. Fffffffffffffffffffffffffff

...and then things went a little groundhog day and/or Madoka...I'm not really sure? Still love it.

TUTURU MOTHERFUCKER.
/falls over

Love truth, but pardon error. // TUTURUUUU~

Sup foreshadowing

Did Steins;Gate kind of turn into a time travel harem anime? No, scratch that: how did I not notice that Steins;Gate was kind of a time travel harem show all along? Is this the power of the time travelings
So good though -- although they made spot-the-future-dystopian pretty easy with all that helicopter/fireworks stuff. I don't care; I'm still loving this show. RUKAKOOOO

So good news on the job-stress front, I think: two of my former co-workers put in a good word for me at the local libary(!), and they're hiiiiriiiiing! Cross your fingers for me! :D

O hay bby ♥

bby girl u stacked

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.

Il en est des livres comme du feu de nos foyers; on va prendre ce feu chez son voisin, on l’allume chez soi, on le communique à d’autres, et il appartient à tous.

It is with books as with the fire in our hearths; we go to a neighbor to get the embers and light it when we return home, pass it on to others, and it belongs to everyone.

LOVE TUTURU, BUT PARDON ERROR

Aaaaaaaand I'm out...hope all of you lovely folks are staying safe and happy out there. ♥

Edit: OH DAMN! I also went to a convention Friday night! It was pretty fun -- smaller than the last con, but that kind of worked in my favor because I was kind of in slump-mode still...but it toooootally helped. I went with MY AWESOME FRIEND (WHO COSPLAYED AS TINA BELCHER BECAUSE SHE IS AN AMAZING WIZARD), and she helped me make a Space Dandy jacket!
I AM NEVER TAKING IT OFF.

You think I'm joking, but you are wrong.

We played some Cards against Humanity, watched some improv, had some good times c: I never make it to as many events as I'd like... I always just end up rambling around and lose track of time -- but I kind of like that, too.

Alright, out for real ^ ^

Qui plume a, guerre a.

Human/nature

I've seen one episode of Stein's Gate and I am all over this business. All I know aside from episode 1 is that according to internet people they "do time travel right," so I'm kind of all over that by default, but so far it's winning me over on other levels as well. Dis mad scientist chunibyo.

I just re-read that last sentence. Is English dead? Sheeeiiit.

The week started off poorly when I spilled the contents of my wallet all over the bus and then banged my head trying to pick them up (picture of feminine grace right here, comrade).
The week continued poorly when the replacement battery I ordered did not, in fact, fix my laptop. Nooooo mooooore draaaawwwing tiiiiiime ;_____; No way to get my files right now either. Hopefully I can afford to get it looked at/fixed soon, but who knoooowwwws. D:  Bwaaaaaauuuuuuhhhhhghhh

I'm reading a fantastic book that is also very depressing because of reality. I'm lucky. I have folks in my life who will help me out if I'm in a pinch -- but I'm a grown woman who wants to pull her own fucking weight, and being poor's just being under a fucking millstone; it just grinds you into dust some days. I love my job, but man... they cut what few medical benefits I had, I still make under $10/hr after seven years and many of my shifts are 4-6 hours long (plus about one hour each way biking and/or bus time, since I can't afford to replace my car). I've really got no right to complain, because I am lucky -- but I'm not perfect either, and I'm just so sick and tired and beaten down lately, with just so much...shit running through my head all the damn time. Would a second job really help that much if I had to figure in scheduling/transport? Should I go back to school? For how long? For what? Why are my emotions broken? What even do? Etc.

I almost don't want to post this because I feel like I've been a huuuuuge buzz-kill lately, for which I apologize.

Here are some nice things stolen from the internet to offset the pile of worries above:

We've all got troubles, but the world is still a lovely place overall and we're lucky to be in it.

A slumpy minipost

Took a bit for the PC to start up tonight ( D: ) The good news there is my (AMAZING) friend's gent (also amazing!) said he'd check it out for me, so we'll see how that goes (read: how...expensive power supplies are?! Again, cross your fingers that's all it is)

Found this randomly, and it kinda made my day:

Thank you, random WoW person from two years ago, for your kind words. Hugtor misses you too.

Been listening to Harmontown lately. Been spinning my wheels a bit since my primary art-worky stuff's down and everything's...what it is? Man, I should have filled out some applications today. I'm in a slump, and I feel like that bodes poorly for the winter months ahead, but I also hope that's just the slump talking. SLUMP, BEGONE. BEGONE, YE SLUMP.

The way is not far

from you to a friend: you yourself are that way:

so set out along it.

Sorry posts have been scarce; I've had a lot of bad luck lately. For one thing, my drawing laptop is down, so I have no way to work and no way to retrieve current work -- which sucks, because I just set up a redbubble account and was working on some slick t-shirts/stickers/whatnot :c Now they are gooonnnne(?...I ordered a replacement battery, so cross your fingers that's the only problem? I cannot stress enough how much this sucks).
My current computer (the desktop pc) is having a ton of issues as well, in ways that seem to indicate the power supply. So that sucks too -- I missed stream night this last weekend because of it, and I'm basically just crossing my fingers every time I try to start it up. SO! Those things. :/
There are...many other unpleasant worries going on that I shan't trouble you with, because in the larger/non-subjective scheme of things in this crazy world they're dull and trivial...but goddamn they're (subjectively) stressful, and they suck and I am tired and old and just kinda fail at all the things, allllll the tiiiiiime. Damn, I'm a buzzkill today. Sorry, blog... reader people, whoever you are. I promise I'll go try to remedy this bout of lameness through the wholesome aid of caffeine and...just...looking at pictures of baby animals or something.

Shōganai

You go slowly // (Surely time will come to an end soon)

Well, I'm splitsville again, and it sucks so much ass. That's all I'll get into here, aside from saying that I'm a soggy mess and just resigning myself at this point to dying surrounded by cats and empty wine boxes.

Here's a bunch of crap I've been accumulating on my desktop, because ranting about anime or whatever > stupid emotions.

People buy fanfiction for their children when they don't give a fuck. They just see "Minecraft" and go "hey, that's the thing my kid likes -- maybe pandering to a superficial understanding of their interests will make up for neglecting to attempt to understand or share those interests." I am telling you that these are real, purchasable things and there is no god.

Somehow I don't think Wells Fargo knows what it's getting into here:

We're all fools, so let's all dance, baby.

Whelp

SABAIBAWOLVES.

Let's take a moment here to contemplate the fascinating creature that is Sonokawa Momoka

Momoka wa stone fucking cold.

FURTHER REVIEW

OF

SPACE PIRATES

OF THE MOST

BODACIOUS

AND SOMEWHAT FANSERVICEY

VARIETY

(A consideration in several parts, with illustration)

* * *

Sooooo... I'm still torn on Bodacious Space Pirates. It's... it's not a bad show, by any means -- but it feels pretty predictable in some ways? I'm still definitely going to finish it, but I guess it just doesn't quite make it to the Space Dandy/Sabagebu tier... Might be due to Marika's ultra-genki plot armor, and I'm not really down with her pet princesses, because whythefuck. ALTHOUGH! I am totally down with it anytime they want to throw me a curve ball like the following:

YEEEAH JENNY SENPAI

This is the part where my brain goes "If they go yuri with the plot now,

THEN MAYBE THERE'S HOPE FOR MARIKA AND CHIAKI-CHAN OMG"*

*Naaaaw, I'm betting the writers chicken out & leave it ambiguous >:/

THEY DID SHARE A ROOM THOUGH /hopesfervently
