We~ell... I got the dj site all straitened up for now. So far, "Amethyst no Yuuwaku," "Rosewood," "Sandalwood," "Seien," and "Yami no Matsuei" are all up (reviewed, summarized, and scanned). Just a quick note, though -- if you saved any of the pics from Seien or Yami no Matsuei before now, I would go back and re-save them (especially you). I boo-boo'd a little -- I was working from the template I'd set from Amethyst, which had smaller scans, and didn't change the pic size to suit the new jpeg's (I did change the pic), so they were previously mushed from 580 x 820 or 850 down to 575 x 800. Ehehehe...shippai da!

In other news...
Grrrr...The Canadians got robbed! The Canadian figure-skating pair should have gotten gold! The Russians who got gold did deserve the scores they got (no problem there), but the Canadians deserved better scores! They had no mistakes (unlike the Russian pair) and they have more emotion and style (maybe the Russians should take more ballet, like the Chinese pairs). And the Russian pair in 4th got bloody favoritism. That pair did get better scores than they deserved. It was a bland performance, especially after Ina and Zimmerman. Ina and Zimmerman have some really nifty moves. I liked it in the short program (where I think they were underrated) when she went between his legs. I don't think they should've beaten anybody out for a medal, but they should've had 4th. Damn judges!
And I'm also not happy because I wanted the Chinese pair to land their quadrupal throw... She almost had it! Darn!

Ho-hum...still questing for envy.nu alternatives that I like. SSIHOST is okay, but I'm going to need basically all the space (50 megs!) for my dj page (lotsa jpg's). And it has a few wiggy quirks that I'll tolerate for the dj page (which I do for others) that I won't tolerate for my main page (which is more for me, because it has my fiction). Oh well...

Grrr...
I am not pleased.

I'm afraid you'll have to scratch what I just said about the dj site. The pages are up, but the first time I uploaded the jpg's it messed them all up, somehow...
And I have to get offline for a while, so... I'll re-upload the pictures soon.
Grrrr

Whew! SSihost was being wiggy, so I didn't get anything updated until this afternoon. Sorry if anyone was disappointed before. The doujinshi page is updated now, for veiwing pleasure.

And here are some further viewing delights... ... Where's that fanfare music? Darn it! Anyway, here are some more Japanese YamiMatsu fanarts:
Pray?
Unlikely, but nice.
Muraki & Tsuzuki. Sensei looks like he's displaying to someone...
Tsuzuki and Touda.
Touda, if you go halfway down the page.
Souryu, and family.
Touda.
And again...
Rikugou and Touda?!?
Touda and Tsuzuki.
Muraki begins with mmm...
Terazuma!
Muraki...Touda... I don't think (and I sure hope not) that this is a coupling pic.
Tatsumi (oh, to be that book!)!
Muraki again.
Tatsumi and Tsuzuki. ^__^
And here're a couple comics:
Christmas flashback... Tsuzuki gets his personal Santa.
Love trick. Tatsumi does a little "magic" trick, which Tsuzuki falls for. Watari insists that it is not the power of love, like Tatsumi says it is.

Mata ne!

Argh! How am I supposed to think? I've got the Olympic fanfare stuck in my head (with it likely to stay there for at least 2 weeks) and words like "sod," "bugger," and "any road" wanting to come out of my mouth.
No it isn't a strange disease.
It's watching the Olympics (with NBC playing the fanfare at most commercial breaks) and reading Dalziel and Pascoe mysteries.

I'm pretty surprised at myself. Usually I just watch the figure skating, but this year, I'm watching a lot more. Well, watching the snowboarding today was rewarding (forgive me celebrating enthusiastically the first American gold medal). Well, Kelly Clark deserved it, and the French athlete she beat was such a good sport. That's what the Olympics are about, right?
I also benefited from catching a late-night showing of the men's 5000m speed-skating medal ceremony... Damn! That Dutch speed-skater was cute!! Buy me a ticket to the Netherlands!

...
Well, I have some new (for me) Dalziel and Pascoe novels. They're actually old, but I only had 2 of them. It's a nice change from fantasy, and these are the only mysteries I read. Influenced by A&E and the fact that I like Reginald Hill's characters. Dalziel I would hate if he was a real person, but as a character... Pascoe is quite the likeable chap, though (and not perfect, so he's all the more likeable). And who could hate Sergeant Wield, even if he has a face they say could frighten children. Wieldy's nice, though, and he's got angst, the poor sod. I can't really compare, but I think Hill constructs nice mysteries, too -- not too linear.

In other news:
Do check your email, Leareth.
And updates to the doujinshi page! I forgot to mention before that I put up the one that's just called "Yami no Matsuei" shortly after my last post. It's all up, with a warning before the "bad" bit and the option to skip it (to the next "safe" bit). And I'm now putting up Rosewood and Sandalwood. Enjoy!
Deciding what to do with my main page since envy's toast...
And I did write this evening, but not on anything that's published. I think I may actually work on Laby the next few days, so that I can build to a Valentine's plot (silly fic for the "holiday"). Next priority is on Orpheus.

It's quite late, so methinks thats it. Y'all can wait for more Japanese fanart links. One person shouldn't mind. ^__^

Hm...I spent too long building webpages today... No uploading, no writing... I can't believe I spent hours and it was all of 5 pages (2 still incomplete). I did up all the pages for my YamiMatsu audio page. So, there's the index, featuring the sheet music for the vocal part of Amethyst Remembrance (it was in the OST2 insert) and purple (because the music is on a purple background). Then, there were the individual pages for each OST and one for the drama cd. Then, there was the download page (separate because I can only have a few up at a time). I like the way that one looks... Then, I fiddled around with the new menu page for my envy site, and I'm liking that, too. Anyway, I have to try and get ftp access for my nerdcities account, because there's no way I'm uploading a 10mb mp3 (from the drama cd) with a web browser! I may request it for the ssihost account, too, because of the sheer number of files I upload there.

Woo-hoo! More interesting search engine hits on my blog! I hope I scared people looking for other types of sex pics (not that there're any kind here...I meant non-yaoi). And why do I keep getting people looking for Fruits Basket...have I even mentioned both of those words here before, let alone the anime/manga title? And all the people looking for mp3's and doujinshi scans: only if you want Yami no Matsuei. So, that makes one person in the right place (sort-of, they have to follow the link). And as for the person looking for Tatsumi Tsuzuki yaoi (good taste, there!), well, I even have it right here on my blog (shounen-ai anyway)! There should be one happy customer. I wonder, however, about the people who seem to look at my page using some translator webpage... Am I that interesting to non-English speakers?

Speaking of interest, only one person other than Leareth has shown any in Orpheus. Well, I suppose Leareth is enough to keep me going on it, but still... ;.; Kanashii yo...

So, no great happiness for me...and I'll have to face the Super Bowl when I wake up... I hate football...

02:13 p.m. Saturday, February 2, 2002

Oh dear, I'm updating this in daylight hours... pigs must be flying... Actually, one sort-of is in here. My evil twin gave me a little winged pig ornament on Christmas.

Anyway, Leareth-babe, were you using the original link I sent you for the doujinshi site? Well, no that doesn't work anymore, which is why I had to totally re-do all the linkage on the pages I'd created so far (which meant re-linking on all the flash text/buttons and re-uploading them). Why? Well, we're supposed to be able to use the short url: "tsuzuki.ssihost.com" instead of the longer one, but, now that they're protected images, like envy does, it thinks that the short url version is "off-site" and it won't load images. So, go from the linkage here and it'll work. Bookmark the long url.

Hm.. I'm thinking of adding yet another host to my collection -- this time for the more graphic dj scans. Hm, judging by one site I've looked at, maybe parts of Fortunecity would work. Yes, annoying banners *and* pop-ups, but at least they shouldn't be ads with large silicon breasts or large neon text of sex words... Anyhoot, I'll just break in the scans with a warning page and then the more explicit scans on the other server, and then merrily back, without break, to the ssihost server, where there are no banners to mar my layout, and the popup doesn't pop up all the time. Now, I'll just have to see if this will work...

Oh dear... I'm going to have to borrow either my nephew's or my brothers PS2 and play the game my bro's playing now (as well as FFX)... He's telling me about this character who upgrades weapons in Shadow Heart... a flaming accupuncturist. Apparently the guy just molested Yuri (the main character) while he was having his weapons upgraded. What is this guy? A benign, flamer version of Muraki?
...
Well...that lead to some interesting images...

Speaking of which (interesting images). I still haven't seen the snake/tentacle image from YnM11... But I'll share my take on it with the people here. ^_^
-The serpent-thingie has purely scientific reasons. He just wants to know what a prostate is.
--In that rural area, with its dearth of modern medical care, how else will Nagare get an enema?
-Can you say snake oil suppository?

No, this isn't unusual for me. You should have seen a friend of mine and me watching the Sailor Moon S movie (where Tuxedo Kamen arrives disguised as Santa Claus). Too many bad Santa jokes... We had to rewind the movie to catch some scenes we missed... Oh, and then that one episode of the S series...
"It extends!"

...

Feedback, feedback, feedback...

02:27 a.m. Saturday, February 2, 2002

Yeah, so I published that story I mentioned. I posted it to the ML's and FF.net. I put it up on my site, but I didn't link to it or update my update page. Too lazy, and I'm gonna renovate them soon, anyway. You can see it here, if all else fails. ^_^ Please, enjoy!

Oh, and you may have noticed...I changed the layout here! Same doujin circle, different doujin for the pics! It's a little racy, but I like it. The words at the top are translated from the Japanese that went with the image. Hm...black and white... Is that okay?

Yes, I have been busy with this sort of thing, for once. I'm writing...I'm re-doing the layout on my blog... and I'm webpage building! I uploaded a whole doujinshi! The one this image is from. Where? Well, it's at my under construction YamiMatsu dj scan site. Not much is up yet. There's the index, the first doujinshi (amethyst no yuuwaku), Seien, and the review and covers for "Yami no Matsuei." I was too tired to upload the last dj, and there're 3 pages I don't think I can put on this server (and forgot about that when I was creating the pages). Where is it you ask? Here--> "Yasashiku kisu shite." The title means "kiss me tenderly." Remember, this is a special preview for my blog readers and this site is still under major construction (along with my music site "Amethyst no Omoide").

And if that wasn't enough eye candy, here's more Japanese fanart!
Woo-hoo! A comic! And it's Tatsumi and Tsuzuki! ^__^ Be sure to check all the pages of it.
Another one! TxT, too!
Oh dear... Now Muraki's roleplaying in his sexual harassment... (not Leareth's Roleplaying...)
New Year's Tsuzuki!
Tsuzuki birthday domain. Check out the illustrations (lilac font) and comic (orange font) inside.

In other news, my niece is still adorable, and Vagrant Story is not quite what I expected. I may get blisters on my thumb from all the button pressing I have to do. I'm all eager for feedback on fanfiction.net... I'm eager for new parts of Sluggy Freelance... And I want to go to Japan again...
