road to nowhere

α One more sleep and a series of plane rides and I will be home.

β I have a theory that all the coffee in Saskatchewan has zero caffeine. No matter how much I drink, I don't wake up or even feel jittery.

γ Many thanks are due to kestrelsan for responding to my plea to chat and cheer me up, thus saving me from capping myself in some unpleasant way.

δ And also for the kick-ass SPN mix CD, which has saved my soul alive. I hope you don't mind that my immediate reaction was, "I'm going to write so much MomoKai to this music!"

ε pixxers, I'm so sorry I haven't got to your site stuff like I said I would. My brain has seriously been pudding and I feel like I'm in a different dimension when I'm out here. (Possibly a dimension without caffeine.)

ζ I did manage to start my santa_smex story, though. Just the first scene, but that always feels like breaking a seal or pulling a cork. If I write some every day, I should have no problem getting it finished. I've really been looking forward to wirting this one. Or having it written, anyhow.

η I have my icon all ready for GP Fortnight. I'm willing to be convinced.

θ To stay sane and pass the time this weekend, I watched the Prince of Tennis movie with the subs. A few things come to mind:
* Kaidoh is really hot.
* I don't know which I liked better: the RyoKai, MomoKai, or InuKai.
* The movie follows the usual shounen sports arc much more closely than the manga or anime. The strong focus is on Ryoma's growth into a team player and there's nothing about his extraordinary potential. Tezuka wants to go to Nationals, Ryoma is the key to that, Tezuka trains up Ryoma for that purpose. And Ryoma makes out with Kaidoh learns the meaning of sportsmanship. It's so familiar and yet so odd at the same time.
* Is there any Higaki/Tezuka porn?

ι If I could have one wish, it would be for a new standard pairings prom story in the PoT section of ff.n. Or a standard pairings reunion story. There's been a real lack of standard pairings fic lately and I really need some.

κ Thank you, flist and fandom. You make me feel better just by being there. ♥ ♥ ♥

Prillalar, why has the Box episode of akihabara@deep not been released yet? WHY? TV-Nihon's being so sly about it!

I know people are waiting for akihabara@deep Search09, but how about a side dish instead? Densha Otoko Deluxe released!

THEY'RE TEASING ME AND LAUGHING AND I DON'T LIKE IT. JUST GIVE ME MY BOX.

I realize that I haven't specifically responded to any of the points in your post. But hello, there are serious things happening. Like my akihabara@deep deprivation!

I knew there was something I forgot to add to the post! I didn't plan to download anything while I was away, unless it was a@d. I checked TV-Nihon so many times! It would have brought a shining light to the darkness of my existance, that's for sure.

HOW CAN THEY TEASE US THIS WAY? I KNOW THE EPISODE WILL PROVE THAT PAGE/BOX IS MEANT TO BE.

I've checked the site every day. Multiple times a day. I just checked it right now out of paranoia.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT WHEN THE TAIKO/BOX UST OUTWEIGHS ANY PAGE/BOX INTERACTION BY A METRIC TON. DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE THERE TO HELP YOU SEE THE LIGHT.

I'm starting to get paranoid right now. This post on finalauraburst says that they've released it but there's no notice on TV Nihon's page and no torrent and no entry in the forums.

THEY MUST HAVE RELEASED IT ON IRC WITH INSTRUCTIONS NOT TO TELL YOU AND ME AND I BET YOU ACTUALLY ALREADY HAVE IT AND ARE JUST TAUNTING ME.

Though I guess three new episodes of Kabuto will comfort me. :)
