I'm alive!

(oh my god I'm doing these again omgwtfbbq)

Fic stuff: Gigantic apologies to MsCongeniality and windfallswest, who both wrote me shiny and beautiful Ghost in the Shell fanfics: the first a happy Yuletide fic about Tachikoma sentience and the second a lovely fill-in-the-canon piece with all the things I have ever wanted. GitS is a difficult and insane fandom to write for, I know that, and I haven't shown either of you nearly enough love. So, love! <3

I wrote some Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind post-movie fic for lastwingedthing for said Yuletide. It's short, but I'm mighty proud of it.

Footie: oh my god I actually watched (half of a) game today, the first leg of Bayern vs. Arsenal. It feels strange and good to be watching again, but I just don't know if I have the energy to throw my heart into it the way I used to. Such a strange and fickle thing, my emotions are when it comes to footie. I wish some of the old communities I used to be part of were still active and glorious the way they were when I was in grad school; that would definitely help me feel rooted in it. Oh well.

Real life: My old project got dropped so I'm no longer working that desk job and now am tutoring again. I'm still looking for a Real Job (tm) and still making LPs and occasionally watching them, though now that I no longer work a desk job it's harder to find the time to just watch them when I could be doing other things. Valentine's Day was belated and involved authentic Sichuan cuisine, nom nom nom. We're in the middle of a lot of changes in our lives, and sometimes it's hard but mostly it's okay because we have each other.

Things to post later: 100 things when the current season of anime ends (Psycho Pass, Robotics;Notes, Magi, and [of all the things in the world] so many feelings about Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) plus Minecraft, Tales of Maj'Eyal, and a few baby roguelikes too.

EDIT: oh god I got a Tumblr. Add me, I guess? Not sure why I did, but it might be an interesting ride.
