Just musing in the early morn

[shinra_lackey]

Hmmm, yes it is the ungodly hour of 6:30AM on a Saturday, but my sleep schedule wants to wake me up at the same time I get up everyday. Anyways, I was thinking, why aren't there ficathons for any holidays that aren't Christian? The main one I'm thinking about is yuletide, but I think lj user=undermistletoe> is sorta Christmas themed too. Where are the Hanukkah ficathons? Or Kwanzaa? Or Solstice? Or Chinese New Years even? I'd love an occasion where I could read more fics and learn about someone else's special holidays and events.

In other news, going to see Golden Compass later today. Never read the books, but my little sister likes the polar bear in the trailer.

And might as well get these out of the way:

Hey, Shinra,

A while back you e-mailed me about doing Hikaru no Go translations for May 5th...I replied, but I figured out lately that my e-mail's been acting up, so I have no idea if my e-mails went through or not. I thought I'd check here and make sure (a little too late, though...). If they didn't go through, I'm really sorry--it wasn't that I was ignoring you!

Oh, wow. I am soooo sorry for not contacting you earlier. I kind of fell off the planet as real life issues were taking up my time. I'm really sorry for blowing you off, and I hope you don't feel too much like kicking me.

Anyways, hopefully I can get back in the swing of things soon and can get back to posting in hikago_djs soon. Argh. I'm such a schmuck.

No, you're not a schmuck! I totally understand if RL was taking up time. That's more important than cute Go boys making out, loveable as they are.

I've not really been doing much with HikaGo lately either--I started translating the Toshokan Sensou novels at toshosen_tsl. It's fun, but the whole page-a-day thing sets a pretty grueling pace. Hopefully I'll get faster, and find time to do a scanlation or two. I know Star got obsessed with The X-Files and hasn't scanlated lately either--with the three of us out of commission, no wonder the community's been quiet!

Anyway, take care, and don't worry about your absence. I'm just glad to have you back!
