feeling: stuffy
listening to: pleeeease get the Hana Yori Dango 2 theme out of my head...
Seems I only post here when insomnia strikes anymore.
This time it's mainly because I seem to have finally come down with some kind of... thing. Not a cold, but an annoyance. Just enough to keep me awake but not enough to take decongestants or anything else. But the other reason was that I was hungry, and when you have an ulcer and an empty stomach churning with acid just looking for something to digest... yeah, I needed kibble. But I wasn't about to go downstairs and wake everyone up rummaging around, and all I have in here is candy. So here I sit while I wait for the sugar to wear off enough to let me sleep.
I was doing so good this week too, going to bed before 4 every night getting up by noon every day...
So bleh. What's to talk about?
The fansub hobby is coming along quite swimmingly. 21 episodes are completed, two more after that are softsubbed but not encoded yet, and I just spent 15 insomniac minutes or so getting much of the typesetting done for #24. Been releasing two per week over at my translations journal for a few weeks, and more than 200 people have requested download access. I've been checking the video streaming sites I know of too - Youtube, Veoh, Crunchyroll, etc - and haven't seen anyone trying to upload them there. People seem to be quite happy with them quality-wise too, so I guess all is going well.
And now I'm actually thinking of fansubbing a movie. >> Downloaded one the other day that apparently no fansubber has laid claim to yet, though it's in high demand... and I watched it to find that I literally understood a good 98% of it the first time through. It's really an extremely simple movie though; all these people begging for subtitles probably wouldn't really need them if they'd just pay attention. Plus, if I do it, it'll almost have to be in softsub form since everyone just had their first chance to grab the first high-quality DVD rip over the past few days... and I much prefer hardsubs.
Oh well, I'm sure it's all a moot point since someone will probably jump on it before I'd get a chance to anyway. It wasn't even that great a movie, really. >> I just sort of amused myself with the idea of subbing it.
Anyway, in a massive subject change, apparently my nephew needs glasses. For some reason this amuses me. I can't help thinking he might look kinda cute with them.
Also been thinking lately about stuff that I've been dying to act on for... like... ever, but just haven't yet because I'm a lazy no-good or whatever. There are steps I want to take, but still more steps I need to take first to get there; destinations I want to reach, but I have yet to face even the first crossroads. If I don't get moving soon, roads will start to close one by one until I'm stuck at a dead end forever. But my feet seem to be cemented to the ground somehow...
*twitches out of wax-philosophical mode*
Well, that was fun. >> Now it's 6 am and I suppose I really should try to sleep again.
