Standard Japanese audio; considering the audience, I doubt an English dub would've been economical anyway.

No, and from what I read about it today, it doesn't look like it's been localized, in the American pop culture sense of the word, to any extent.

Don't scare me like that again, TMK.

Whatever happened, it seemed to affect all of Kontek (TMK's host) since SMAAAASH was also down. I'm glad it's back up, and that the site hasn't been replaced with ASCII art of a middle finger or something with "PWND" in the middle.

Wait, what did I miss (again)?

Site was down for an extended period of time.

At least #TMK kept me company while I was spooked solid reading stories on the internet.

Horror-erotica will do that to you.

I got the "Proofing" copies of my book, "Time Toss," in the mail yesterday. I already found errors that I want/need to fix (I always do), but I was just too excited that to have actually had a physical copy of my book to care. I gave out a few copies to friends (who now have versions of the book that no one else will ever have, woo), and will be giving a copy to my old creative writing teacher, because she was awesome and think she'd get a kick out of it.

Hey, cool! Alway glad to a hear a fellow self-published author doing well.

Thanks! I feel lucky to have gotten this far with a book that I started on 8 years ago.

I'll probably post about it here when I get everything squared away. Anyway, in related news, I already have a fan, one of my friends has committed himself to finishing the book, and he seems very invested in the story. He's also helping me revise the book for grammatical errors and full-on missing words. I'm apparently not very good at catching mistakes like those, because my brain has been trained to correct all the mistakes in my book as I read it.

I blame the stupid "If Yuo Cna Raed Tihs Yuo Aer A Smrat Prseon" tests that keep popping up on the internet.

I met a qt gril and we fell for each other pretty much instantly. We would be dating if we didn't both very recently get out of relationships (or, in my case, a weird complicated almost kinda-sorta dating-ish thing), and therefore want to take it slow.

I've set a date to properly ask her out, though.

I've been in Scotland for almost two weeks now and having a lot of fun. I never did see/meet Karen Gillan but I did tour the highlands and develop a slight addiction to Irn Bru and Jelly Babies.

Also be nice to go home, mind.

Hey, that sounds pretty fun! I'm headed to Paris this June myself for study abroad.

Will you be studying her in secret, or with her permission?
