feeling: many things
listening to: Duel Jewel - Hanauta
End-of-the-year meme!
Year in Review meme: Go to your Calendar and find the first entry (excluding memes) for each month of 2005. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your 'Year In Review'.
I'm sure whoever wrote this song didn't intend for it to be depressing. I guess I should try to post something? I tried to make a ringtone of this song, but the awesome bass line didn't come through very well so it just sounds like random guitar and drum noise blaring from my phone... *sad* So for some reason I'm posting here even though everything I've tried to do with my three Blogger-hosted blogs since they "improved" it has somehow gone wrong or given me idiocy. What the? Been doing a lot of thinking lately. Here's something I've been meaning to do for a while purely for the sake of reference: reviews and/or synopses of all the J-dramas in my collection. IT IS DONE. Seems I only post here when insomnia strikes anymore. Ahh, Recomen. Just because I never have anything to say here anymore, don't feel like being productive, and haven't done one of these in forever... I haven't been able to do the year-end meme for my blog yet because I didn't have any posts yet in December, so now I do. :D
Well, that was... yeah.
So the holiday season is pretty much done. For some reason I got more into it this year than past years. Exhausting and stressful for the last couple weeks, but a lot of good came of it all. I guess that's what it's really all about.
Remember when I said I'd have a job by the end of the year? Heh. Look what happened. Now I'm not sure if it's too late to go through the necessary applications and interviews only to have to request half a week off for the February tour right after starting somewhere, possibly giving a horrible first impression, or if I'd be better off maybe putting my resume out in the week or two before the tour and hoping to get an interview or two in the week or so after I come home and hopefully be starting somewhere within the month of February. I really should've started all this about a month ago to beat the New Year job hunting crowd, but... well.
Yeah, I'm tired of spitting out excuses. That's all they are. I don't know why I haven't done anything about it yet. I really don't. I can't wait to have spending money, not to mention a savings built up toward going to Japan in the near future, and I'm tired of just waiting and hoping for the next freelance translation job to come to me (9 times out of 10 it never does). I'm just a coward, I guess. The problem is that every time I start to think about it, I get discouraged for not having taken care of it yet... and when I get discouraged, I've automatically trained myself to think about something else, which amounts to running away from the problem. I can't seem to break the cycle.
And now the pressure is REALLY on. Not just because of the tour, but because apparently it's been confirmed that Miyavi is planning a world tour. Who wants to bet the American leg will take place within one week either before or after the BLOOD tour I still can't afford? The little brat has a nasty habit of giving RIDICULOUSLY short notice before doing things like this. I guess fans of J-rock (and Japanese entertainment in general) are expected to have a forest of money trees growing in their backyards.
In other news, I NEED MORE MISO SOUP AND INSTANT TENSOBA. Holy gjkdldaksj, that was yummy.
In other other news, someone on the Taiji Project friends list randomly bought me a one year paid account and extra user icons this morning. o________o *flump* What on earth am I going to do with all that? I don't know enough code to design a layout, I don't have the creative knack for making icons... and um... what else do paid accounts come with that TP really doesn't need? I almost feel bad for accepting it, but it's not like I had a choice... and of course I'm grateful, I just don't know what to DO with it...
*combusts*
Maybe I could hold a layout and icon set design contest and award the winners by translating a song or brief text or video selection of their choice. >>
Oh, and Duel Jewel's new album is cool - as expected. Even after, what, two years now, I STILL can't believe how massively those guys have improved since Lapidary. Flabbergasting. Is that a word? Who cares?
*is done rambling*
