feeling: tired
listening to: B'z - Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni (Tonight, at the Hill Where We Can See the Moon)
That song has been stuck in my head for days. >.o I really like it... just no idea why it's so insistent on clinging to me lately.
Anyway, Kiwamu told me the company I translated that catalog for will be reviewing the catalog's final design this week, and then I'll know how much and by what method they intend to pay me. Then he told me he has another client at the moment, a company dealing in natural resources, that's seeking a translation for their company profile, and that he'd recommended me for the job again. He also said something about the possibility of an actual part-time position in it for me with this one... though I'm not sure how that would work with them being over there and me being over here... >> but still. Always knew if I could stick with the BLOOD translating gig long enough, no matter how certain idiots treated me and my friends like dirt and generally ticked me off along the way, it would lead to more and bigger opportunities. I would say I owe Kiwamu for this, but I've been working for free for him now for over a year. >>
...And he just pounced me online and greeted me with "hello, part time job" >.> Interesting...
Anywaaaay... how about that Hurricane Katrina? x.x I was starting to get kinda worried about that whole deal over the weekend. They said just a day or so before its predicted Louisiana landfall that it was Category 5, which means what... 185+ mph winds? +_+ And it was due to hit the heavily populated major port and etc. city of New Orleans... all that damage... But then they said right before it hit land, it fell to category 4. Then, by the time it actually hit a populated area, which turned out to be a much smaller town in Louisiana, it had fallen to category 2. Which is still pretty heavy and destructive, but... dang. I knew hurricanes normally lose a lot of their force when they leave the sea and reach land, but that was a major drop and change of course...
I know, random thing for me to talk about, especially living in Ohio where it'll be nothing more than a prolonged thunderstorm by the time it reaches my neck of the woods... but I guess that seemed kinda miraculous to me. Couldn't help getting the impression that millions of desperate prayers had been answered.
And in more mundane news, I've made some more progress in my room. Restocked the beanie shelves in the plushie corner, hauled out two more large bins full of stuff, and also managed to clear off and drag out the antique hutch desk that was in the far corner. Now I just need to figure out how to juggle everything else around in order to get that reclining chair in here and keep the TV viewable from both it and the bed... and figure out where to put all these little cool random knick-knacks that were salvaged from the 2 tables and 1 desk I've gotten rid of... so many possibilities, so little clue as to which would make the most sense...
And yeah, it's late and I'm sleepy. So bed it is.
