    Friday -- what to do?
    At least I'm not working! XD I'm sure my co-workers are going crazy about now; I'll have to log on later and check out the chaos from the safety of my vacation.

    Unlike the rest of our week, we don't have any specific plans for the day. We'll probably watch more Scrap Teacher or maybe something different like Oreten or Chinese Prince of Tennis. Hell, we still have the second Tinkerbell movie we haven't watched yet. We need another vacation or two to finish off more of our backlog (auugh, and I just added the subbed version of Yuuta's Kizumono movie yesterday, too ....)

    This DC/Marvel fanart is great (the second one made me laugh.)

    Still too much rain expected today, but I'm going to TRY and stop worrying about it unless it actually starts coming in the house (even if I still don't like that pool of water near the house. I need a second tarp.)

    I dreamed about the Chipmunk movie last night, of all things. We saw it in the theatre when it came out, but I never got a copy of it. Will rectify that.

    Think I'll go put up some more fics on AO3.

    Watching stuff
    Today we went to see New Moon with our friend Christina (she's a huge fan of the books.) We enjoyed it, but still couldn't resist poking fun at the stars, Mr. Ugly and Ms. Twitchy. Jake was much more worth watching.

    We came back to our place and watched some Battery, assorted AAA videos and Johnny's Boys clips, and the Hidarime Tantei EYE pilot. :D

    Unfortunately, we've got another 24 hours of rain just starting. I cannot describe how utterly sick I am of worrying about rain and yet I can't help myself. It'll keep on until we've found some way to stop all the problems we're still having on the back wall of the house. *sigh*

    It's funny how vacation is more than half over and I still haven't written a word of fic.

    My last post was depressing...
    So, to cheer you up, here is a 33 second clip of a bear pole-dancing!

    Heavy rain warning
    I fucking hate rain. Tomorrow we've got a heavy rain warning on that could bring 50-70 mm -- easily the worst rain we've had since I got the outer wall supposedly fixed and the new deck put up. I already know I still have a leak, probably from the floor instead of the wall, and that the new deck fails miserably at keeping rain from falling in or around the stairwell. In fact, it's made it worse by channeling it into one area that could become a sinkhole up against the house. My little flimsy tarp held down by rocks on top of the deck isn't much protection.

    My only hope is that all the holes they drilled in the stairwell will mean that it won't fill up like it did last time. And that the cracks they fixed in the wall are really fixed. The floor, however, is still a mystery that we're hoping to solve tomorrow now that we've pulled out a little more wainscotting around the problem area. I just hope it doesn't get any worse before we can fix it.

    Tomorrow's going to be a long, long day.

    "Energizer Bunny arrested...
    charged with battery."

    Yuk yuk yuk. ^_~

    That was in our psychology textbook, in a chapter discussing intelligence.

    I am only reading this because my brother is making me so shut up. I can't help it if I memorize thing good for the tests. :P

    Two decks ... still
    It's been over two weeks now since our new deck was put in. Too bad we still have the OLD deck sitting in the middle of our yard:

    Our (salvage) yard

    Taken through the screen of my bedroom window

    I'm tired of looking at it. -_-;

    Vacation!
    It's finally vacation and now that I've already started a list of things I need to do, I'm not even sure there'll be enough time in a week to do them all. *weak laugh* I'll do my best, though!

    Our new fridge arrived yesterday while I was working (I was impressed by how quietly they managed to take out the old one and deliver the new one so that it didn't disturb my calls.) It's HUGE compared to our old one, which is funny, because when we saw it in the showroom we could have sworn it was smaller. But when we put all our food into it (which used to be stuffed to the gills) there's now plenty of leftover room. @_@

    Michiru surprised me by buying me fleece sheets, and they're pink! :D Hers are light blue, to match her room. They're so soft and warm and snuggly. ^_^

    Our new healthier way of eating has really made a difference with that pesky menopause-inspired weight gain that sprang upon me suddenly. I've managed to get it back down to 115 lbs and it seems fairly steady right now, yay!

    While looking around websites at work yesterday I came across this story -- if you've ever been in a position where you worked customer service and didn't want to just smile and take it from nasty customers, this is a great tale. It's a few pages long, but a satisfying read.

    Still uploading over at my AO3. I'm filling up the Prince of Tennis and Fruits Basket categories rapidly. XD

    This week we're hoping to get to see '2012' and 'New Moon' (I hate the two Twilight stars, but there are werewolves and vampires, so ... yeah.)

    ADMIN: Archive Of Our Own!
    In case there's anyone who hasn't yet heard, Archive Of Our Own finally opened in Beta last week and I was lucky enough to get in there with my username:

    http://archiveofourown.org/users/haruka

    You can put your email into the queue to get your own Archive here!

    Since this IS still in Beta, there are some bugs to work out (my biggest issue is still with the em-dash not converting properly and sometimes cutting fics off entirely mid-way. If anyone sees weird formatting in any of my fics there, let me know.) I've been uploading fics there, but it's slow-going right now. Hopefully once the issues are fixed, it'll go faster. :)

    If you have any questions, here is the FAQ.

    I am amused
    Cloud and me just watched Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

    Not as good as the first, but I am amused.

    I am sure it won't surprise anyone the Buck has surpassed Diego and Cid as my favorite character. He's sorta piratey and stuff. ^__^

    Cloud roflcoptered withe the Scrat/Scratess tango.

    Good times.

    That tea you sent me, that "accidental awesome?"

    I don't know how it got it's name (even though I can imagine...heh heh), I have to say that it is completely and TOTALLY AWESOME.

    Damn, what yummy stuff. I'm hooked.

    Last Post
    Not that I think anyone's following this journal that isn't following my LJ, but when scans_daily closes here, I will be deleting this journal.

    You can still find me on LiveJournal as sara_lakali and on Dreamwidth as saralakali.

    The wait is driving me crazy!

    I started at #95 in queue, am now at #65. *hits refresh again. And again ....*

    Anyone have an invite code they don't need? XD

    This is yet another reason why I love Dreamwidth's Latest page -- I didn't know this had gone live until I saw everyone talking about it there!

    My house is infested with rice
    That's not a typo.

    I came up for my lunch break to find rice all over the kitchen counter, the floor, etc. There was also one of the three-pound hand weights that I use for my exercises sitting on the counter. From the banging I'd heard while I was still downstairs, I figured my wife had been trying to break up the frozen chunk of rice with the weight (I was right) and she'd run out of time so couldn't clean up (the broom was there, so her heart was in the right place.) Between the rice (which has even made its way up the stairs) and the dishes in the sink (dried pancake batter needs sandblasting), it was a mess, but also kind of amusing.

    I'm only half-awake tonight. I woke up at six this morning and my brain decided to be evil and start thinking about our leaky basement and leaky deck and how I seem to be cursed where this is concerned. Worrying about this all the time is gonna kill me, especially if I keep losing sleep.

    I hate kids. I especially hate those three little bitches that bang on our door late at night and then run away (I know exactly who they are, too.) I'm nervous enough being alone at night while my wife is working, I fucking don't need to be afraid to walk around my main floor in case they bang on the door and I go through the ceiling. (*EDIT* How charming, they seem to have put some kind of netting over our outside doorknob. I've ignored them so far, but the first time they do any damage, I'm calling the cops.)

    I have to work tomorrow. Working Saturdays sucks in general, just on principle, but it sucks more this time as it's my wife's first weekend off in weeks and of course now I'M working. Crappy timing. Last week's cool Shinkenger episode is subbed and we can't watch it until tomorrow night, auugh. Thank goodness there's only one more week until vacation.

    Last night's Survivor episode was amazing.

    ( Spoilers )
