fan stuff and writing woes

[cornerofmadness]

First up, I need to either regain my ability to concentrate or turn off the internet. More and more I write not at all when it's on. This has never been a problem until 2010 rolled around. I'm not sure what the issue is. It's disturbing me. Either that or find someone to do word war challenges with.

Fan stuff - Last night SyFy was running Chrono Crusade This was IMO an underrated anime/manga. I liked the manga better but I thought the anime was pretty good but so few people I know ever saw/read it.

In reading Ouran High School Host Club last night I was reminded that I pretty much only like comedies when there's a dark serious underbelly (which Ouran has). Though sometimes I want to slap Tamaki into next week. I want HIkaru.

I also realized that one of the reasons I really liked Ghost Hunt manga and anime was that everyone had respect for each other's beliefs. We see pure science (since Naru seems to have no religious beliefs) right along side Shintoism, Buddhism and Christianity and no one sees this as odd or as a point of argument. I reallyliked that. Wish the world was more like that. I also liked that they did tackle some uncomfortable things like Lin's feelings about the Japanese.

Also in researching something about Ghost Hunt I completely spoiled myself for the novels. Granted it probably doesn't matter since they were published beginning in the late 80's and the manga is over so I will never see these details but I really wish someone would translate them since there is a lot of Naru's history we never got.

Also in that meme (look back a few posts) as to who do you think I might be I got a couple othe options.

Most people think I could be Chris Mustang. Well, okay I can go along with that. She has her own sense of style and lots of smarts and probably has a string of dude and yeah I'm starting to really look like her

Then they offered up Dr. Stein. Well yes I ASPIRE to be Franken Stein. He's smarter than hell. He loves dissecting. He flings scalpels at students. My God. How could I not want to be him?

And then there was Dr. Knox. Yep. I'm already sort of him too. I'm pretty damn crochety and I was a surgeon once and I would have liked to have been an M.E. like him

Well, you're not quite Abby Scuito...

Ghost Hunt is very good about that. IIRC, Diinzumo said that too me when she was living in Japan, that all religions/beliefs were respected.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm not as huggy as Abby.

that is a very cool thing. America needs to grasp that

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Did you hear about the new thing over at NaNoWriMo? It's the 'summer camp' version, basically doing 50k in another month. I think it starts in June or July? I'm not completely positive.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

No one we know is as huggy as Abby.

It would be wonderful if that would happen in our lifetime.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I got the email on it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i didn't look at it yet. i might not be able to do it because of my surgery but that could be interesting

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Me too. A summer run could be fun!

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Oh, bummer. ): Which surgery is this (if you don't mind me asking)?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

on my shoulder. I have to have it repaired. It's why i'm not sleepng much. So much pain. (well that and it's hot)

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

That sucks, though I do hope the surgery helps. The heat's keeping me awake, too. Every time I try to lay down, I start sweating, and Spock decides that NOW is the prime moment to come sit on my chest.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that might get my ass moving

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

XD That's what I was hoping, too. Every time I manage to cross one thing off the damn list, another thing gets added!

[bay115.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, sounds awesome! I'm totally going to see if I can try it when it starts during one of those months.

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

I just went and checked, and they haven't announced the start date on the website. You should go sign up, if you don't already have an account. They send emails pretty regularly about whatever's going on.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

kitties are banned from my bedroom.

the heat sucks

i do too but shoulder surgery HURTS. The pain specialist asked me am i sure. You know this is some of the worst pain right? thanks

[bay115.livejournal.com]

I have a NaNoWriMo account before, but it's been a couple years ago and I don't know the username or email I had used before. I just signed up a new account, though!

Dr. Stein..."How could I not want to be him?"

::snicker::

[enemytosleep]

Just write the stuff I want to read. That'll make your life easier.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

see that's a plan

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Stein is great.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

cool

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

tell me about it

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

*crosses everything off the list that isn't porn or doesn't involve Ling*

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Dammit, I didn't know they had that on SyFy last night. I watched Bones on USA (I think) because there wasn't anything else on.

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some people are excited about Camp NaNo since they say that November is such a difficult month for them to dedicate to it.

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

What anime is that? It looks interesting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Stein is from Soul Eater, it's a pretty good anime. A bit weird at first. It takes about 6 episodes before the storyline begins to gel

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it is a rough month but they're always claiming they're broke so I'm wondering about the financing os this

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, haven't heard anything on that or what is going to happen. Haven't gotten the e-mail about the fund drive and how much they're going to try to raise.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was probably on monday and I just remembered it last night but now I can't even remember. It wasn't on last night thuogh. Syfy has animation mondays which is probably WHEN I saw it.

I've never read/watched Chrono Crusade, but I had two friends who really loved it and they had a chance to meet the author for lunch a few years ago.

I'm far behind on the Ouran manga, but Hikaru is so much love <3

Teehee...Stein

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was a really good manga. How cool to get to meet the author

I'm only up to what's i n the bound volumes of OHSHC. I love Hikaru

And i love Stein
