Nick - For Posterity
The following are journal entries I wrote over the course of my abusive relationship with my ex, long after I should have and long after things started getting bad. If I had to say, there was trouble brewing not even two months in (mid-June ( Read more... ) -
Arashi/Johnny's Items for Sale
So I haven't been active in the Arashi/Johnny's fandom in about 6 years now. I lived in Japan from 2007-2010 and accumulated a lot of stuff, mostly books and magazines, and it's time to make space for other things. I was thinking of trying eBay but I figured it'd be better to go private sale this way and find these things good loving homes ( Read more... ) -
Resurfacing with interesting article.
Read an article on Smashing Magazine today about commenting, or lack there of these days. It's gear towards web design sites, but I've noticed a similar trend in fic comments. Have a gander if you've got time.
Where have all the comments gone?
PS. If anyone knows of any software/site that makes nifty and easy timelines, I'd be much obliged. -
Hiatus?
Orientation Day 1 over. It's going to be an intense 9-months, I have no doubt. That being said, I should probably go "official" and say that I'll be on "hiatus" until... next summer. I don't even know if I'll be able to keep up with dramas or shows but from what I keep hearing, I won't. Wish me luck ( Read more... ) -
Fic Pimp Post.
I'm not really any kind of authority, I like what I like, but I know a few friends wanted some recs. I haven't read much of je_fqfest or jentfic_remix, and none of je_ficgames (I'm sorry, I fail), but I'm going to update this post with gems as I come across them. Hopefully this post will be of help to someone.

Recipe: Creamy Turkey Enchiladas with corn and spinach
Found this recipe in Mom's mountain of cooking magazines (Cuisine at Home's Cuisine Lite) and it's quick and yummy! You can switch up the ingredients to suit whatever you've got at home; we've tried both turkey (yes, we had some in the freeze leftover from X'mas) and chicken and either one works great. :) No picture though, I fail. I'll try to ( Read more... ) -
Recipe: Veggie Casserole with Cheese
Found this recipe in the calendar in the kitchen. Mom got it from Longo's supermarket so it uses all Longo's brand stuff and brands they carry but you can use anything you can find. You might have to try a few different cheeses or add some spice to it. We never ate sweet potatoes (aka yams) when I was growing up, because my dad doesn't like them ( Read more... ) -
Who would have thought...
I've finally got Joe's web-only songs~! After too much hassle and a huge help from Yvonne, I'm trying to transcribe Joe's song "Lights" and I'm having more trouble with the English. What?
I've managed to get down about 75% of the lyrics, but there are just a few parts I cannot get. It's hard when you brain won't unhear things that are obviously ( Read more... ) -
観察絵日記①
So, I finally got out and planted my herbs in the garden. This is the first time I'm trying to grow stuff so I'm going to keep a journal and document the experience, a la Sho's Journal from D no Arashi when he tried to grow a watermelon. LOL ( Read more... )
