Or rather was, as it's past midnight again. This work is never-ending and the fact that I wanted it all done weeks ago isn't helping. Last night, one of my friends mentioned how I'm certainly looking forward to finishing the whole dictionary project and getting some rest. Ah, if only. I'm supposed to have that Miyabe read by the end of April, so ( Read more... )

   I guess I just can't take it tonight. Will finish the entry I am editing now (Shotaro Ishinomori) and go to bed.
Truth is I wasted a lot of time searching for various information and in the end watched more than half of the movie Tokiwa-so no seishun, based on the events and persons who worked for Osamu Tezuka in his atelier in 50's. Such a nice ( Read more... )

The event is taking place in a city called Liberec (google it if you want, they have a really pretty ( Read more... )

   ...because I am SO behind the schedule. The part I am writing now should have been finished two weeks ago! I just don't know what will I do. It's not that I'd be too busy to work, you know. The main problem seems to be my own incompetence and utter lack of self-discipline.
   Oh, well. -__-

   Suppose I should say a few words. Ugh.
    Happy New Year 2010 to everyone! May we all see each other alive and well when it ends!

    So! Woke up, checked if there still was at least some snow (check, although it's half melted and the grass beneath makes the whole park under my windows look like a large dish of cream dill sauce), made tea and prepared Christmas cake and my homemade red velvet truffles, swallowed four different pills (thyroid medicine, antihistamines, ( Read more... )
