Sunday stuff

My wife [info - personal] nisshi is at work again (boo), so I'm trying to keep myself busy here. I've done laundry and soon will start scrubbing stuff in the bathroom.

The new Shinkenger episode was fantastic!

spoilers )

There was also a new Kamen Rider W episode finally, and parts of it were great, but did they HAVE to focus so much on that annoying, ugly girl? -_-; We kept hoping the grouchy maid would break her in half and jump on the pieces.

Getting ready to finally start a new, LONG overdue chapter of Sakura Court. What I loved about writing this fic (back when I WAS writing it) was that I could make no apologies for anything that shows up there because it's already designated as my self-indulgent fic. For instance, it's been long enough that when I do get into it again, I'll may have to change characters around, move time forward, ignore hanging threads -- yeah, it's mine, not meant to be Pulitzer-winning, just fun for me.

There's a show on behind me called 'Love it or List it.' Wish they'd come work OUR house over. They could turn it into the Taj Mahal and I'd still move as soon as the guy showed me a decent house anywhere BUT right on the ocean like we are now. X(

Getting hungry, but too early for snack. Hmm.

Full Metal Panic #16 - #20; Inuyasha Final Act #06

Full Metal Panic #16:

Sosuke guided the surviving soldiers to his old hideout and obtained the medical supply there to cure the injured soldier. There, Sosuke told Rei - the only female soldier who was the only one that accepted him as team member about his involvement in the battle in the country when he was only 8 years old and he told her of his ex comrade who was 3 year older than him. Sosuke recalled that he was the only survivor of that group and believed that comrade already died. Other place, his ex comrade had already worked with Gaolong (Nine Dragon) and was telling the latter of Sosuke's usual strategies. Sosuke meanwhile told others of his strategy and all of them set off.

Full Metal Panic #17:

Sosuke and others were ambushed in the mountainous area and his communication with others were cut off. Gaolong attacked his team members while Sosuke's ex comrade attacked him. Until Sosuke returned back to his team members, all of them including Rei were killed by Gaolong. Sosuke fought Gaolong who managed to escape. Sosuke's ex comrade died before he could kill Sosuke.

Back to Japan, the dejected Sosuke sat next to Chidori who was waiting outside his unit.

Full Metal Panic #18:

It was still summer holiday in school when Sosuke tried to come up with security issue for the school programme. He invited the pissed off Chidori to a party organised by Major Testarossa due to one year anniversary of their battle ship. Chidori was especially displeased when the location was changed and she was pushed down the plane on parachute with Sosuke. Testarossa was asked to present her kiss as a lucky draw prize before she and Chidori sang on the stage among the cheers.

Other place, Gaolong who had lost his business because of the latest interference from Sosuke, planned to attack the submarine vessel where Sosuke and Chidori were partying in.

Full Metal Panic #19:

In the bath house, Melissa told Chidori and Testarossa of her first time recruiting Sosuke and Kurz one year ago in the training centre. They were initially not selected due to their low key performance. However, Sosuke's victory in a test battle caught her attention and she visited him where she also met Kurz. She had bad impression of Kurz after he tried to woo her two times. She was preparing to strike Sosuke and Kurz from her consideration until the happening of a particular event.

There was a last minute rescue mission to save a president's daughter from some terrorists within a short time period. Within the urgent time without much battle resources, Kurz and Sosuke turned the tide by misleading the terrorists, took over their AS robot and saved the day. Since then, Melissa recruited them into her team.

Full Metal Panic #20:

Back to present, Testarossa left Melissa and Chidori first to handle some matters. Later, Melissa went for a battle meeting because Gaolong and his men were detected on an island with some hostages. Same time, Testarossa told Chidori that like herself, she was also a Whisperer and told her the danger if two Whisperers synchronised their thoughts together. She also told her that she was not giving up on Sosuke.

Sosuke and others were assigned for the rescue job. Sosuke in nick of time was unable to activate his special drive. Melissa got herself injured in her urge to shield Sosuke from Gaolong's stab. Gaolong surprisingly surrendered.

Inuyasha Final Act #06:

Naraku absorbed a demonic tree's power before Inuyasha and his group's eyes and left. Meanwhile, Kouga ran into Kikyou and Kohaku while trying to track down Naraku's heart. Naraku confronted his heart and using power from the tree, he invaded his heart and took over. Kouga managed to get out of Naraku's grip when Kagome used her purifying arrow to strengthen wolf tribe's will.

Sango was shocked when Miroku almost got himself killed by trying to suck Naraku with his wind rip. Inuyasha managed to stop Miroku in time and Naraku escaped.

I hate lace, but it looks pretty

Lace is a bitch. There’s a reason I like cables and hate lace — in cables, 99% of the time you have the same number of stitches and it’s relatively easy to see in what direction the pattern is going, and relatively easy to pick up dropped stitches or frog a few rows. With lace, it’s not. I’m constantly missing YOs, or adding extras, and not figuring out that I’ve done it for a few rows. Since I started developing hand problems, it’s even more frustrating because my knitting time is limited already and I hate spending the time undoing what I’ve just done.

Which is why it took me three tries to get this project started, but eventually I did. This is Ingrid Happy with it so far, even though it’s only about 4″ long at this point, I didn’t want to overwork myself since I haven’t knit in about 3 weeks. I’m using US9s instead of US7s, trying to get a larger gauge, but even so the scarf is only going to be about 5″ across, which is narrower than I’d like, but I do like the pattern. And since it is so narrow, I should have plenty of yarn leftover (hopefully enough to make a pair of fingerless gloves?)

(I know — you can’t see any stitch definition in pics taken on a camera phone. But this is NaBloPoMo and I’m too impatient to find my camera cord!)

Darker than Black - Ryūsei no Gemini #05; Full Metal Panic #14 - #15

Darker than Black - Ryūsei no Gemini #05:

Hei tossed money to Suou for her meal and she went to the bar for proper meals so that she would have energy to escape. She was surprised the bar owner knew her identity as a contactor until he told her that his wife had also became one and left him and his son. Out in the street, Suou and July ran into the bar owner's son who tried to woo her again but failed. He yelled that he did not mind her identity as a contactor at all.

Hei returned home to see Suou blowing a hole on the wall because of a cockroach which had reminded her of Tanya's insect control ability that killed her best friend. That night, Hei and Mao discussed about Suou who did not behave in the same way as normal contactors. Next day, he trained her with shooting again. That evening, he received instruction to assign Suou in his mission as well. That same night, Hei, Suou and others were attacked by the authority including the bar owner's wife. Next day, the bar owner's son was looking for Suou when he saw his mum leaving on a car. As he informed his dad, his mum entered the bar.

Hei and others managed to escape and they proceeded to their mission of snatching some items from heavily guarded vehicle. Before Hei could leave his boarded lorry, it began to drive away.

Full Metal Panic #14:

The military, AS lover student - Shinji invited Sosuke, Chidori and her classmates to an AS game carnival. There, Sosuke witnessed Shinji's father who was controlling a team of AS robots in a game having problem defeating his opponent and he helped him. Shinji and his father joined in the teamwork piloting an AS robot against the opponent leader (who was trying to woo Chidori) and the hidden Chidori and won the competition. Shinji and his dad's relationship improved after that. On the train, Chidori was still pissed off with the holiday.

Full Metal Panic #15:

While Chidori, Melissa and others had a summer holiday at the beach, Sosuke was assigned to assassinate the unfortunately still alive Nine Dragon in other country. Sosuke had to lead a group of westerners who did not trust his ability in battle and ended up in a horrible mess when they underestimated Nine Dragon's ability.

1. Biscuit recipe shall be posted soon. I am exhausted so it may take a bit. But I give all who want the recipe full leave to bother me until I do indeed post it.

2. Full week ahead (or so it is starting to look like): as many of you remember, I worked today. I did get out half an hour early because the person I was shadowing went home early. Went home, changed, ate something and got to the theatre to learn spot light a mere few hours before the show. And now I am home resting a bit. But tomorrow I am working 1 to 9. And I'm sure I'll have a few more days to look forward to of a full working shift this week...I must bug them for a solid schedule. At least tell me my shifts for this week! Anyway...so yes there is that...and then Tuesday I probably will have to go to a neighboring town for jury duty and Thursday is pick up rehearsal where I can make notes about the other spot light and then Friday I am babysitting which I wouldn't do except that it's money right after and I need to put minutes on my phone. And somehow in the next couple of days, I need to go food shopping.

Next week? I'll obviously be working, but I'm filling in most likely for one of the spotlights (the one I'll be learning on Thursday this week) on the last three shows, Thursday Friday Saturday. Yes, yes I know...my job comes first. And it will. That's why tomorrow I'm going to ask for my schedule this week and find out if they're okay with me leaving at no later than 6:30 which I honestly don't think will be a huge problem because the store closes at 9. But if they're aren't, then I have time to tell the stage crew that they have to find someone else to fill because my bosses are being ass-hats.

And truthfully the only reason this is a tad overwhelming me is because I went from doing nothing at home to starting a job at full time hours plus being a slave to the theatre means me not saying no when it calls. Not that I'm not enjoying it...working and still able to do the theatre...but after the next two weeks...I'm going to want a couple of days off in a row or a couple of days in a row in which I only work four hours shifts. Which given I'm part time is more than likely... I know part of the problem is my mentality--part time job means I'm not working 5 days a week at work for 9 hours. To me...part time job means that I either have three days off a week or only work a partial shift five days a week.

Does all this mean I'm insane?

I'm starting to think it's likely.

And now I'm off to vegetate upstairs and ponder about how to deal with this new level of realization that I am likely insane....
