feeling: sore
listening to: Last Exile - Cloud Age Symphony
Well, I just glanced to my left and found Strife dead. I was fairly sure he wouldn't make it through the weekend, honestly. He's been in somewhat sad shape for a few months, but then he took the fastest nose-dive I've ever seen, and only lasted one week in the condition that Sekiray and Phoenix both lasted in for several weeks to months. But maybe it's better that way. He didn't suffer as long.
I couldn't see anything visibly wrong with him, and from all the signs he showed, it just looked like old age. But... accelerated? Like I said, I never saw a betta age that fast. And I've only had him for a year and a half... I don't want to think that it was because of the filtered 5 gallon tank I had him in... it was my first time using one and he did remarkably well in it for a few months. But I don't know... I don't think I'll be using it again until I can figure out what might've gone wrong and fix it.
But for now, Strife is better off. He was my dream fish for a while there... now he's just a dream. Don't let Phoenix and Sekiray bully you around up there, my little pussy goth boy.
Anyway... I was stupidly awake until 6:30 am last night/this morning trying to figure out how my subbing/timing/encoding programs worked. Then I discovered that I'm gonna have to go through all 117 of my translation texts and rework them into softsub script form so they can be loaded in my timing program ready to go. That's not such a big deal... but the timing is quite tedious. I suppose it'll go faster once I get used to it, but as of now... heh. I just spent about 5 hours getting halfway through episode 1. And this will just give me the softsub file, which will then go into the typesetting and encoding stages before the hardsub is complete. Now I see why fansubbers work in teams. >>
On the plus side, two of the three episode translations I couldn't finish before are now finished, and my watermark/logo is done too. And he's quite cute, if I may say so.
Back to timing... *ignores backache*
