Update?
Oi, oi... so Twig has bade me farewell... and I've finally updated my site... I'm now tired and perfectly ready to laze the day away. Ah, but first I must give my darling friend back his PS2... as much as I'd love to keep it.
Now /that/ was short... wasn't it.

"Dangerous Beauty"... Dangerously good
Yesterday was a glorious day... mainly because the last of my recent (I mean July) Ebay purchases... a copy of the tape 'Dangerous Beauty' staring among others... Rufus Sewell who has the most gorgeous eyes... he's my second favorite bishonen, yup, right after Johnny boy. In my ideal universe I imagine Val at age 35 would look rather like Rufus... dark hair, pale eyes, charisma everywhere... right, I'll stop drooling now.
Anyway, aside from that, I was able to consume (a)an episode of FAKE, (b)chicken parm. stuffed with cheese, and then (c)shower cake. This makes me very happy. Shower cake is a definite two-Lunar-thumbs-up event... mmmm sugar... buzz buzz buzz... I can't wait to go home and consume more crunchy goodness. ^_^
So I was too busy consuming massive amounts of sugar last night and oogling period-Venice costumes ect. God what a pretty movie... girl power! hurray! But tonight, I write... oh yes... I write. Who knows, maybe I can even buckle down and finish, there's not too much left of this chapter after all... although I warn you now, it's a singularly uninteresting piece of drivel. The temptation remains to write Twig-chan another short story... but I shall persevere. She's right, the sooner I finish 'Looking' the sooner I can write more zany short stories and then the fun Atlantis foo. Funny, at the beginning of Looking, I didn't know what I wanted to write after I finished, and now I wish I was alredy done ^_^... I blame the travel channel... and it's damn "ancient cities" specials... they're so damn inspiring.

"Can't I just email you my code...
This is my worst nightmare... well this.. and peanutbutter-squid-tapioca cake served to me every day in the cafeteria... but the later is unlikely to ever occur, and the former happens all too often. I have the irrestibale urge to scream "NO NO DEAR GOD HAVE MERCY NO!" then hang up the phone and begin crying hysterically... but that would be poor phone support, so instead I politely hemm, and haw, and say things like "Well, I think what would really help this problem is... for me to check the database... can I put you on hold?" /Then/ I cry... but oddly so far I've managed to dodge the bullet by finding solutions at the 11th hour... yeay!
Twig is living in my home... there are no words to express the coolness of this... It's like having Ganesha stop by for tea and biscuts. Yes, Ganesha the Hindu god of poetry, writing, and inspiration, and Yes, I'm over literate... I know. So I've been writing, Twig has been writing, frankly, there's been a lot of writing going on ^_^. I've also drawn a cool Cassiel pic, but won't post it for a while 'cuz I don't know where to put it... and I still owe Baka art... and Fish... and Ellcrys... and awe screw it, I'll finnish "Looking" first, Damnit.
Kitty-chan is being /so/ cute this week.. although I don't know, I never really thought of her as 'cute' but then I guess most people's experiences with cats are not so nice... i.e. the 'evil-hell-kitty' stories my friends tell me. Really, Kitty-chan is the equivalent of a furry jell-o mold with the ability to purr and a massive eternally empty stomach. So yes, I guess she qualifies as 'friendly' and maybe even 'cute'.... the world may never know.

The fidgeting Lunar.
Today at work has been quiet, too quiet, I keep staring at my cellphone worrying that Twig-chan will call and tell me that the airport at Lansing has been shut down due to alien-bunny attack and that she can't come anymore. Sigh, silly me... I go and get all 'responsible' (and other -'ibles' when friends come to visit me or really any time I do /anything/ in groups... i.e. when on suprious hiking trips in the nearby park, I'll be the one who packs a first aid kit, two water bottles, a towel and a change of socks... Baka said it was because of my latent maternal tendancies, I said 'screw you' and blamed it on my rampant paranoia... hurray.
So I'm paranoid, so shoot me. I can't wait until I have Twig safely in tow... I don't trust airports, they have a nasty habit of losing things, like luggage, people, small demons... Hmmm I wonder what I'll cook for dinner...

The word of the day is... UBE! (Yes, that's a word!)
Thank you Flidget for being my multi-cultural reminder-girl, I could Not think of that word for the life of me...
What is Ube you ask? Well now... www.dictionary.com says that ube is "UBE" or Unsolicited Bulk Email... this is full of shit. Ube, in Hawaii, or any points west, is an amazing little vegetable/tuber, either a relation to the tuber 'taro' or perhapse more like a yam... It is sweet and yummy, and very VERY purple. I wish I was eating some Ube Icecream right now. Baka would also rant endlessly about ube if he was here, but he's not, thank god. I think I'll call him tonight just to tell him I remembered the word.
Must remember to go to the AIRPORT tomorrow and not straight home ^_^ Luckily, Twig has my cellphone #...

She's dead Jim...
But she died with honor... Not really but boy am I tired... need more iron in my diet or something... Or perhaps an eventual end to these 'start at 7am end at 7pm days... but that't not true... today I got home at 6:40: ^_^; Next weel will be cool though... got my friend the scheduling-dude to give me a kadoodle of 'morning shifts' so I can come home and chill w/ twig and have fun... so it ought to be a nice change ^_^ hurray.
I added a new quiz to my site finally, sorry the question is so lame, I couldn't think of a better one... as for the last quiz... 'the Shadows' won... /barely/ but I'm pleased to note that 'Hell' had 3 votes to 'Heaven's' 2. "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven" ehhh? ^_^ Once I get my gumption back, I was given a funny little script for a 'where's Sydney' DJ by a fan recently and I'll ink it up by-and-by...

Bow before my L33T greatness!
Well not really, but we can pretend. Today was a fun day at work I did some stuff, looked intelligent... generally set up my compie, installed some new hardware, and drank a diet coke. Hurray! Tonight, I go get lured into watching more cardcaptor sakura, so probably no writing (sorry) but I found a keen picture of egyptian temple for my compie's desktop... I can pretend it's atlantis... or something... *sigh* some day I /will/ start that story... and it will be glorious. Of course then the VS fanatics will be like "wait! what are you doing! come back!"... and Twig will laugh maniacally for days. Fun for the whole family. I need to go over to babages and price out PS games again, see if the ebay prices are too high or not. Maybe tomorrow...
T minus 4 days! Woo Hoo!

10:02 a.m.
Washing cars at midnight, fun for the whole family.
Yup, that's right, how sad can I get huh? But let me start at the beginning of this little miscreated tale. So I got home from work friday, at the fabulously early hour of... 5:30pm... and had a gay old time trying to (a) wash my cat, (b) cook dinner for a friend (c)watch Crouching Tiger with said friend. Two out of three went over fine, i.e. he liked my food, and the movie was excellent. Poor kitty-chan however needs... well... another bath.
So last time I was in petco, I was browsing the shampoos and I noticed a small non-descript bottle called "lusterbath" the premise being that it is a 'waterless bathing' method... think drycleaning, for your pet... well, not quite. Basically you wipe your animal down with the stuff, then briskly towel them, and they should look all clean and swank. Now I have had a cat of one type or another forever, so I had vague memories of this stuff working once and thought 'well kitty-chan hates baths, so maybe she'll like this better...' So I tried it. The one crucial difference between kitty-chan and her predecessors however is that they had short,stiff furr, she has long fluffy furr... have you ever seen an over-conditioned long-haired animal? They look even worse than a dirty long-haired animal... *doht* So I went out again and bought a more traditional shampoo, and later today we'll give it a go... fun fun fun. At least she'll smell good.
So yes, after the movie was done, it was something like 11:30, and I waved good-bye to my chum, and then proceeded to get a bucket and rag... and attack my car. Odd you say? perhapse, but in a town where all the parkinglots are brightly lit, and where during the day (even the mornings) the sudsy water will dry in the time it takes to redunk your sponge... you either wash it at night... or get it done professionally. And as we all know... I'm cheap. It actually worked surprisingly well... well, aside from the brief incident where I was attacked by a homocidal grasshopper, but that's a story for another time. But yes, even the grasshoppers are bigger in Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas... except for Bush's IQ.
In othernews, AIM's been so quiet lately that (god forbid) I've been motivated to start amusing myself again. Which means (shocking) that I'm diving into ch 4 of the VS fic, just a bit, splashing around... getting the feet wet. I emailed Flidget the first batch for her beta-ing perusal... but haven't heard a peep... hopefully she'll check email soon. Ann gave me a green light though, so hopefully I'll get some more done soon. Although the other writing projects are also 'running late' and work is this time-sucking black hole... but really, surley I can fit an hour of writing in here and there.
Speaking of which, hey Twig, was watching some special on the travel channel (oh when will I learn) again, this one about the sphinx and how it's supposedly over 9000 years old despite the current textbook answer of 4500 years old... and I was chortling about how the geolologists were all going 'dude! rocks don't lie, you can't have 9000 years of erosion on a 4000 year old statue...' and the egyptologists were going 'dude, societies simply don't spring up 10,000 years ago, build cool huge-ass shit and then dissapear for 5000 years, reappear, and pick up where they left off in building huge-ass shit, so /there/...' and two things sprang to mind... the first is that historians are full of shit. The second of which is that the great pyramid of Giza, or a 10,000 year old sphinx would make a hell-a-cool setting for a short story involving *certain people* nice architecture... historical mystery... high places to perch on... nevermind. I'm shoving them and their stupid plot ideas back into the closet... trying to keep my priorities... right, right.
The other cool historical fact I learned? Did you know that Easter Islanders were so frigging obsessed with building those freaky statues that they deforested their own island and destroyed the ecosystem (thus their culture) ? All I could think of was 'the lorax' it is a definitely freaky thing to have had happened.
go out, and hug your tree.

Another day, another call to the 'Support Desk'
'But /wait/' you say...? 'Lunar, don't you /work/ at the help desk...?'
'Not quite' I reply as I cringe. 'I help /customers/.... these people help /me/...'
Sad no? I'm getting settled in to the relocated office now, the commute doesn't seem so bad, the new cubicle-buddies are starting to have names to go with their faces... There's some dude down the hall trying to build and program a 'wireless' harp... using tiny guided motion sensors inplace of strings on the wooden frame. It looks seriously cool. Wish I'd thought of of that. Aside from that, they have finally found me a phone, and I've suceeded in loading the rest of my 'needed software' without screwing up anything else... Next week...? I have to start installing the boards into the computer. *doht* new boards... new bugs... new gray hairs for Lunar.
Today's goal? To get home by 6:30.

nemui...
Today was fine, but /long/ I got home at 8pm! and if I want to get that update in the works... I'd better hustle! Twig-san! I'm not blaming you for my mental inability to cope with criticism, frankly you ought to do it more often. Pruning makes for better books and trees... or some such nonsense. Anyway... /soon/ ne? Giggle, I have no idea what j-pop you're threatening me with, but bring it anyway, it'll cheer me up on the daily commute.
Wind-chan, I'm still suffering from incorrect links?! BAH I'll fix those tonight where I can find them... /nothing/ should be pointing to evil homestead. There's nothing left there but the 1 page to forward people to dreamhost. *sigh* Moving websites is worse than moving houses...
still haven't picked up my package...

10:18 p.m.
Thankyou sir, may I have another!
Yesterday, was phenominal. Simply god aweful. The training was incomprehensible, the projects wouldn't work, the machines crashed, my lunch was rushed, they forgot my paycheck, I was stuck in a meeting and had to cancel my car tune-up, the car wash was closed, the apartment package center was closed (so I couldn't pick up a box), my cat was being a pain... and my best friend at work took of for a 15 day jaunt in Paris. So I got home at 7... and just sort of sat in my over stuffed easy chair... and pouted. Lucky for all of us, a friend was on AIM and succeeded in cheering me with bribes of icecream and card captor sakura. It worked surprising well. So I watched the 'fading Yukito' Episode which has LOTS of Touya goodness... and it made my day ^_^
Oi oi, Jenny says ch 6 of the Kuja fic is fine... and Twig is giving me a thumbs up, despite the squinchy-face, so expect a web-update tomorrow I think. Ne, Wind-chan, don't call me 'important' you'll feed my ego... no feeding the egos... it makes it very strong... ('Really...? How strong?') Strong as a small pony. ('Well that's quite strong! Isn't it!') As for those princessy-pony-prissies... or is it more fun to say prissy-pony-princesses... don't worry, their dumb ballet classes and weekends at Cape Cod won't get them anywhere, lest they go to a liberal-arts college and go man-hunting for four years. Ah, I remember that type of clique well...I think they're born that way. Horses need food, it's the nature of horses... they're like cows! but cuter. Although admitedly I haven't seen one since... ummm... I lived in Vermont for a year as a kid. My only memory of riding being some old woman shreiking 'heels DOWN' alot ^_^.
Nine days till the Michigan invasion, the surprise is in the mail... and if I can get my car serviced+washed... I'd be /so/ happy...

Headache...
Some days are better than others apparently, and this week is comming up short. My class is long and boring, my cluefull / funny partner is leaving early to catch a plane... to FRANCE. And my other partner has discovered a website with a java version of grand tourismo. On yes, and nothing's working, par for the course I'd say. This is rather frustrating really, especially as this is the hardware+software that in 2 weeks, /other/ people are going to expect /me/ to know how to make go. The teacher insists that it's rare for people at this stage to have much sucess... and that the customers never call about this stuff anyway. Go fig.
Last night I started the first page of a future on-line manga called "monkeymeat"... tonight I'll do another page and some character art maybe then send it off to Baka to preform his L33T layout/design skills on, but I'll post more about that later. To prove to any doubters that I amd /truly/ a hack... I admit that I read Twig's old blog and went 'she... didn't like the draft?!'... and immediately curled into a little whimpering ball. Usually I can take criticism just fine, I think it's just the stress of the past two days at work... sigh... I think maybe I'll post it as is and deal with it later if it turns out I've written myself into a corner.
Speaking of which, hey Twig-a-mus! Keen new layout... eto... where's the entry ^_^ You forgot the most important part in any journal... ^_^... the JOURNAL. (Just kidding)
10 days till the michigan invasion. A bit more cleaning, and a car tune-up, and I'm good to go. Hurray. Now if only I could write something that doesn't suck.
the world goes round.

Okashii onna...
This morning's email contained a link to the Card Captor Sakura personality quiz... surprisingly, I came out as a "Touya"... maybe this is why I like him so much ^_^;. The runner up was Eriol... sigh, oh well.
Woke up at 5am this morning because of the cat and could have killed her, was having the most absolutely lucid dream, it was amazing, like a movie or something, so I grumbled, fed her and then sat down for half an hour and wrote the thing out before I could forget. It is a great idea for a story... possibly to hard for ameture me to pull off... but hell the outline took 3 pages front-and-back and the ending is a little shaky... very cool. Surreal dream though sorta left me feeling all weird and disjoint.

M-m-m-m-m-mmilktea...?
I am fully stocked, popsicles and milktea... and those yummy readbean-paste filled pancakes. This is one supremely happy Lunar. I am also happy because ~at last~ I have finished dueling with my muses, and have produced two new chapters of my fluffy FF9 fic. They're both in beta stage (thank you Twig) and'll probably be updated onto the page by mid-week... There is a strong temptation to take advantage of this current writing momentum and dive directly into the chapter of 'Looking'... but there's laundry to do, and an apartment to clean... and *sigh* maybe I'll bring a notebook to the laundry room and try to long hand some stuff... we'll see.
Hey Wind-chan, cruised by the blogg today and thought it was super cute. I know I've been there before out of curiousity over Flidget's crowd, but *shrug* ANyway I just wanted to say, your friend who doesn't like trigun... kick them or something, it's a great show! The trick is to make it past the first volume, which *is* a little fluffy, the longer you stick with the show the darker and /cooler/ it gets... I suppose I could also add my two cents and say if you need a hand at HTML I could field some questions ^_^ if you can find me.
I was watching TV today (the travel channel, my bad.) and oddly there was a show about hawaii that detailed all the cool things /I/ did when I was there with Baka... It was great, very nistalgic. And now I know, when next I go back, I'm renting a house, that way many people can come ^_^ not just me and Baka. There was this top-of-the-line three bedroom/two bath place they showed... pool, privacy, near a beach... near town... $1700 a week that's 283$ a week/person... 40$/night/person... that's cheaper than hotel I stayed at with Baka... and this house was /nice/... So... think about it when next I do a shout out for a supreme vacation get away... if you don't mind sharing a bedroom with more than 1... the prices only get better... now... if only the plane tickets also got cheaper with quantity... Lunar declares... fangirl convention on Maui.

Good Day! Good Day!
Today was a good day, my Japanese grocer called me to say a massive shipment of Milk-Tea arrived, My new computer at work was set up, They fixed my miss-spelled name in the database..., I recieved fanart... I sent fanart, my cat got sick, and it /wasn't/ on the carpet...I got a frame for my friend Baka's photo so it can go on my desk... and Twig's coming in 14 days... with a copy of every import-CD she or Ann owns.
Karma rating = +50 : I rule.
I'd better go rescue some old ladies to keep up...
In other news, Homestead (the old home of Rood Awakenings) finally got around to e-mailing me about 'paying' for my account with them... they're offering some 'discount'... but I'm not interested. Still it's funny to recieve messages like the one below, makes you feel all giggly for shedding them like a winter coat. Yeay! Freedom!
Lunar, Time is running out! Less than a week to claim your discount!
they sound so desperate ne? I will not return to their hateful Java... it was slow. And useless. ^_^ Today's been so keen, who knows... maybe I'll even write something... or maybe I'll go rent Crouching Tiger instead...

when Lunar feels a fool...
I liked college.... I remember it well... We elite Geeks sat in our engineering classes, programming in java and C and C++ and doing M4D ASSEMBLY H4CKS... and we looked over at the buisness students, and their excel spreadsheets and their Visual Basic... and we laughed... we laughed at their weak pathetic programing environment and their 'poser' tools...
I want to take it all back. Visual Basic is EVIL.
Cosmic karma I suppose, but today it's a 'sink or swim' mastering VB day... and I'm looking for a flotation device. Time to buy VB for dummies... or buy a large mallet... the mallet while far more satisfying won't help me in the long run, so the book it is. It's not my fault! This is so completely less cool than any other 'hands on' language... it hides all sorts of 'scary' things from the user, like variable declarations, arrays, buffers, and gods know what else... generally if it works, it's a cute 5 line GUI... if it doesn't work... you don't know why and there's a greater than 50% chance it'll crash your computer... not just the debugger... /everything/... the cosmic 'suck' switch is definitely enabled.
In other news... 'HI FLIDGET!' keen... she has net-access, this is too cool.

Wai! So soon?! So Long! (just be sure to write)
A 'good journey' gift-pic for Flidget-san... just because you're going several time-zones away from the rest of us... and into the realm of dubious ethernet access... don't be glum! We'll email you alot, we promise ^_^ Or atleast I can guarentee I'll forward you all my chapters... should I get off my duff and write them (sigh). Good luck. God Speed, and find me a cute Brittish novelist to love and hug and call 'George'... preferably one who will someday be filthy rich. ^_^ Ok, maybe not...
It's friday, and I'm unmotivated... 'help me Calgon! Take me away!'

cruised by my site... wonders of wonders... I update it but seldom go myself ^_^ (no surprise, everything I want is on my hardrive... it /is/ MINE afterall ^_^) and I noticed that I had inadvertantly made my bravenet poll start a day early... oddly people are already flocking to vote... so I have to say...
who voted for 'Pittsburgh..?" ^_^ and if so, did you do it out of spite? or because of the 'Calvin and Hobbes' refrence... ^_^.... as for the single voter so far for 'On the moon... with steve...' I bet I know who you are... ^_^ I love Eddie Izzard.

So Today has been pretty fun, playing with signals and such, which is what I studied in college so I'm happy as a pig in mud... Add to this that the delightful Flidget has her own pitas page... wahhh I'm sad that she's going away... but now I can read about her daily rantings super easy so that's good... right? who knows. Last night I scanned and colored some new pics, and made ready with the update (which was supposed to happen then but didn't) so I'll do that tonight... once that's done It's a matter of finishing the chapter of the ff9... then coloring the gift pic for fish-chan... and Flidget's 'going away' pic... then... oh I dunno... my art-backlog is tremendous but if I don't start Looking 4 soon people /will/ kill me... all I have is the first scene... which is a nice Val squishy moment... but blah! must get more hours in the day.. I can live with only 5 hours of sleep indefinitely... right? yeah, I thought not.
Life goes on.

And now... with Graphics support!
So I went to my mailbox yesterday, and 'lo and behold... it was Christmas... in July. There was a tiny UPS slip waiting for me. So quick like a bunny I hopped over to my apartment mailroom... and then laughed maniacally all the way home, holding a scanner box on my head. I then spent the rest of the night (after a healthy dose of CCS) in mortal combat with it... ^_^ determination being high... I won, of course (Oh ye of little faith).
This being said... I give you "My first scan" a minor moment of ego goodness... Neil Gaiman... and Me! Look how happy Lunar is... (yes, I'm the one with the glasses, baka). You'd better believe that I'm sending this to everyone I know.
> --- fangirl.
So expect all those long lost art samples... my latest attempts at doujinshi... and more chibis. Damn it... now I have no excuse not to update the bloody webpage. The only complaint... why did IBM have to make the scanning software so bloody slow... >_< ah well... can't complain... I have a SCANNER! Wheeeeeee!!
hey fish-chan... I have no idea what happened to the speakers. Can you check with UPS?

Does the above sound like a good time to you? If so then the geek-training courses offered at most big companies are meant for you... as for me, I still have an hour of class to go and all the text is starting to look like greek. (doht) On a good point, I got more of the ff9 fic written, and I even started a new cassiel short fic. On the other hand, my brain is now fried. I'm once more reduced to playing on ebay... and browsing random bloggs. Not to mention updating my own. I should breing a sketch book, but then the guy sitting next to me would think I'm even more of a freak than I am now... no that he's not worse. We were laughing at /nothing/ for about half an hour before lunch. He's insane. Ah well... just another few weeks to go... then I can do tech-support for the remaninder of my training period... Why do I see myself going "Can you hold please?" and then screamming for help like a banshee?
T minus... 25 days untill the michigan invasion... nope, still haven't cleaned. ^_^

Ah sweet laziness thy name is... I dunno, I'll think of it later.
Ne, Twig-chan, I'm glad to hear the headache is gone... but what /are/ you doing to that blogger? I... thought the other graphic was cute... >_< But then I've been reminded pointedly in this past week that designing decent looking UI's is not my strong point. What do I care how it looks, after wasting 15 hours of my life building the back-end, the bloody users can bloody-well adapt to my illogical button placement ^_^. (and this is why engineering firms around the globe have marketing departments... to shield the innocent from the likes of me)... So yes, put the kawaii pic back up and don't worry ^_^.
Ann-san... I've run out of subtitled CCS episodes... so we've started on the... un-subbed ones. >_< Why does Kero-chan have to do so much plot expose!? I can't do osaka-ben... every time his rant gets complex I'm like 0.o... but I still can understand everyone else so I can lord my semi-superiority over Brad. Heh heh heh.... doht.
In a fit of boredom at work yesterday I actually started writing... a feat I have not yet driven myself to today (bad me). Inertia sucks.

Wish I had the gumption to write fiction durning the down time in class. So far, I've done the 'extra examples' from the book, updated my pitas page, read my mail, checked my messages, browsed neilgaiman.com for no reason whatsoever... the only thing left is to fire up ff.net or Ann's page(s) and start browsing fanfiction, but unfortunately I too have this thing about reading potentially R or higher rating fics 'at work' even if I am sitting in the back of the room. The problem is, I think, that I just type too damn fast. This class is based off the learning/working timeline of 'non-computer' engineers learning how to use a graphical-programming language tool kit. The only way I could learn this stuff any faster is if I had already studied the software package (having been trained in college on their principal competitor's product). Still... training is good... right? Right. We like reciving new training... training helps us play... or was that 'iron'... who knows.
After work today there's apparently some party for people to go to and get drunk and meet each other etc. This is all well and good... but being that I'm the only driver for my car... and I have to go home afterwards... it seems silly to get smashed ^_^ then I'd have to /stay/ at work untill I sobered up... hurray. Yeah. Maybe I'll grab a wine cooler,shake some hands...and go home. ^_^ Who knows... maybe I'll start writing chapter 4...
hey twig-chan... do you like plum wine?
