feeling: tired
listening to: Maou OST - sAtAnAchiA
I've gotten all infatuated with this soundtrack again...
Been trying to get into J-drama again recently, just because I miss it. Hadn't watched any in ages... then after I started at Crunchyroll I decided to catch up on old anime series that I'd meant to watch/finish for years and never got around to, and then work really took off and I didn't even have time to watch anything that I wasn't making subtitles for... so I finally watched a couple of older drama series recently and got myself all nostalgic, yay.
The job's been going well, by the way. Just about to finish my sixth month with CR, and every paycheck's been higher than the last. It'll probably start to level out now though, since the fall simulcast season is starting to transition into winter, and we had a lot of backlog to catch up on in December which probably won't be a common thing from now on. Plus, though I was hired as a fixer (the last person in the subbing line who fixes errors in scripts before they go to launch), as of October or so I was also assigned to a couple of series as both translator and fixer... and I get called upon almost invariably a few times per week to fill in on episodes for other series when the people assigned to them are unavailable. Also of interest is that they just started their first J-drama simulcast, and though the drama itself isn't all that glamorous (pretty cheesy and predictable half-hour show about a housewife who doubles as a secret agent), it stars Kuriyama Chiaki.
I sort of feel like I've hit the big time when I get to say that my work day consisted of subtitling a Kuriyama Chiaki drama for international simulcast. :3;; Really hoping we get to do some more J-dramas in the future...
Otherwise, life has sort of sucked. >> Within the few days after Ginger died, my ulcer started acting up again, probably the worst it has in years... which I pretty much knew would happen after the hell that was November. I could barely even stomach more than an average-sized meal on Thanksgiving. Tragic. :\ Meds calmed it down a lot, but it's still not entirely comfortable all the time, which sucks because that dosage isn't supposed to be needed more than every 4 months... and if I'm gonna start needing it more often than that, it probably means something's gotten worse in there and I need to actually do something about it. As it is, ever since I became uninsured, every time I get the least little stomachache I start to worry that it's finally something serious this time. -_-
Anyway... yeah, thanks to my stupid stomach keeping me up all night every night for a couple weeks, I have once again forgotten how to sleep. Worst ulcer spell I've had in years immediately followed by the worst insomnia spell I've had in years. I can spend all day exhausted and miserable and fighting just to keep my head up, but then when I finally crawl under the covers, even if it's like right after midnight, I lay there awake until 6 or 7 in the morning no matter what I do. Last night was actually the best night I've had in weeks... got to sleep by 5am, woke up to my alarm at noon, and nothing woke me up in those 7 hours. Of course, I'm still tired, though.
Overall, 2011 kind of all-around sucked. The only really good things that happened were meeting Mst and getting the CR job. The rest was constant stress and disappointment and failed plans and depression and sickness and just crap. Life has about one week left to make something really awesome happen and redeem this stupid year before I deem it the worst I've ever lived through. >>
