Update on life

[louiselux]

I have been on holiday this week and unfortunately it has coincided with me having a bad stomach for most of it, which, as of today, looks like it may have been some sort of mega extended pre menstrual gubbins. Bah, I say.

This afternoon, well, now, we're going on a healthy bicycle ride-- we've done two already this week, which is not bad going-- and then I'm going to buy myself some new spectacles, which I have been needing for a few years. The frames are Paul Smith ones - very smart and sort of oblong, in dark tortoisehell. I'm very excited about getting them, because my current glasses are scratched and broken and not fit to be worn out of the house.

Despite the feeling ill, or because of it, I managed to write about 7000 words of an AU of an AU I am writing with emungere (looks wildly back to see if that sentence made any sense). Meanwhile in the Janitor story they are doing yet more sitting around, but as soon as I coax them forward there will be action and poisoning, hopefully, and weird sex. I have three more days of holiday left and plan to use them for evil good writing more porn finishing this story. Or possibly going camping.

I got Makoto Tateno's Yellow vol 3 in the post this morning and so much wanted it to be Antique Bakery instead. This volume was a bit of a let down, I found. Her plotting and character development is very weak and without that, even with the huge amounts of pretty, it's just not as fun.

*hugs* New glasses are very exciting. Hope you feel better soon.

(meanwhile, I'm going to squee quietly about an AU-AU by you and emungere, because that's just plain shiny.)

Squeee! I have them on, and they are very exciting indeed!

Also, hee! Yes, I think it's pretty shiny too.

I enjoyed the first two volumes of Yellow so much, but as you say, the third was a bit of an anticlimax. After all the build up, it all just seemed a bit too easy with regards to their relationship. I'm still going to get the fourth though just to see the 'honeymoon' scene ^_~!

Thanks, btw, about the Blackwells tip. It was just what I was looking for and had a wonderful time this afternoon browsing through their stock ^_^!

Hope you feel better soon *hugs*!

Thanks :) I do feel quite a lot better today, actually, fingers crossed.

Yellow - yeah, it just lets you down when you want a bit more sexual tension. It was too easy and the plot twists to get there could have been far better thought out, I thought. Oh well. I'm not even sure I want to get vol 4 now.

Blackwells is good, although it is infuriatingly slow at ordering things, I've found.

I have to admit if I needed to order something I would use amazon because they are cheaper ^^;!

I'm glad you are feeling better. I hope you had a good bike ride.

Yay, janitor Hakkai! Does that make Badder Mr. Cho an AU cubed?

*Brain breaks*

I wodner how bad he could get before I didn't want to write him any more? Alternatively, he could get so virtuous that he won't even sleep with Gojyo even when he is all grown up. Then the Mr Chos could meet in some sort of time warp and fight it out.

[emungere.livejournal.com]

You should keep writing him and find out! *g*

And a Mr. Cho too virtuous to sleep with Gojyo would be so sad! I would weep and then write AUAUAUAU porn for them.

Oh yeah, volume 3. There's bad crack fanfic I haven't laughed so derisively over. ::shaking head::
