It's been about a year since my last post. I felt like I didn't have time for Live Journal for quite awhile, but now I'm back in the saddle again.

Everything's pretty much the same. Still living in Round Rock, still working my phone monkey job (but I did get the promotion mentioned in my previous post). I've started my little scanlation group, ( Read more... )

Well, it's been, uh, 6 months since my last post. I'm still at my phone monkey job, although I'm now in a better department and applying for a supervisory position. Still hammering away at Black Lagoon (we're up to Chapter 11!) and about halfway finished with Ancient Magic. I also participated in Al|together 2006 (see previous post), translated ( Read more... )

I haven't written any new stories, but work is going pretty well. I'm participating in Al|together 2006 this year, and I'm really enjoying it so far. Visual novels are so different from anything else I've ever translated. Eventually I'd like to read/translate novels, so it's good practice ( Read more... )

It's a model that's seen in several books this year, such as "Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book," by Robert Hamburger (pseudonym). From the CNN.com articleThis single statement makes me want to never ever ( Read more... )

It's official. The head of my law firm is the Biggest Douche in the Universe. I don't refer to him as my boss because I'd like to think that my boss was the professional, highly experienced paralegal I worked under that the head of the firm drove away with his insane, douche-like behavior. I will henceforth call the head of the firm David, because ( Read more... )

shihtzu linked to a website called Concerned Women for America. Being an ardent lover of Crazy Christian Bullshit, I just had to check it out. This was my favorite article by far:( Text behind cut )

I finally made my gingerbread house today. I bought one of those kits from the grocery store, so all I had to do was prepare the icing, put the house together, and decorate it. The worst part was that the icing flew everywhere when I was mixing it, so there were thick white ribbons of icing all over my kitchen counter. Ain't that a nice visual ( Read more... )

Americans like to rip people off
God, that's so depressing. The treatment of workers in this country (illegal or otherwise) has pissed me off for a long time. Some of the things that companies do to avoid paying workers are absolutely criminal, yet such practices are intrinsic to capitalism. What's more, both big and small companies get away with ( Read more... )

It's my birthday today! I'm 23! I can (still) buy porn and alcohol! Yay ( Read more... )
