Quick Thoughts
3/26 Ordered a box of sugar-free Red Vines and got SUGARFUL Red Vines. Can’t remember when I’ve been so disappointed and annoyed.
3/19 Except for careening toward financial ruin and worrying about catching the plague, isolation is actually pretty fun.
3/4 Various circumstances including binge-watching a season and a half of Sofia the First have limited my art intake these past two weeks, so I’m putting off my AEL until next week. I kinda want it offset anyway.
2/25 Actual chapter posted!
2/23 Have some Heretic’s Reward interludes. Actual chapter pending.
2/19 Geez, this AEL keeps going and going. I guess I’ll finish it tomorrow?
2/4 I may have watched 12 hours of Sailor Moon last weekend instead of doing anything productive, but not this weekend! ASZz part at linear completion!
1/21 Working on some TWIP’s today in between stories.
1/11 I think tie prices are the clothing industry’s way of saying, “We don’t make enough money off men.”
1/6 Ruptured ovarian cyst(s) keeping me in bed for days on end is driving me toward financial disaster, but at least I have time for Skyrim binging The Clone Wars writing!
1/2 So lots of random crap around this place suddenly isn’t working. Sorry about that!
1/1 Happy new year!
12/29 Faffing about with site stuff. Sorry if anything’s illegible.
12/25 Happy Christmas to anyone into that!
12/20 Should I be starting another long story? Absolutely not. Am I? I’ll let you guess.
12/19 Geez, how do you explain “I’m out of spoons” to 3- and 5-year-olds?
12/18 Editing a story in the morning instead of watching an episode is very effective! I’ll never catch up on the Arrowverse that way, though XD
12/16 After-Dinner Brandy is almost done! Get ready for Trowa’s long story in way more detail!
12/15 It’s just occurred to me that Cap’n Crunch’s hair is white and he’s never been promoted beyond cap’n. Incompetence? Prejudice? What’s been holding him back so long?
12/14 New writing is easy now; editing I still don’t have a lot of time for XD
12/11 I’ve reached linear completion on After-Dinner Brandy!
12/10 New method for consistently writing even while working a lot.
12/08 SoOoOo busy. Gotta figure something out.
12/07 NQF has gone very poorly on both ends this year. *sigh*

Well, folks, I yet live. But everything has changed. Of course my darling Waybee died, and that was tragic. Then I had a fibromyalgia flare-up so bad it made me realize I had to leave the veterinary field. Yesterday was my last day at the clinic. My future is...
His Own Humanity: Cockatiel and Armadillo
Ze likes fashion, football, and social justice. He likes Star Wars, friends, and tabletop roleplaying. Can this meeting between totally dissimilar strangers go anything but badly?

Animal-Handler
Though the circus has settled in for its winter break, Trowa Barton (acrobat, animal-handler, and werebeast beta) still has his hands full — with a newly acquired lion he’s sure is more than it appears, the return of former romantic partner and current alpha-friend-with-benefits Heero, and tiny niece Relena growing up much too fast.
A Tribute To Waybee
On the night of November 11, 2004, I heard from outside my apartment a sad meowing. Looking out the window revealed a small cat running from one apartment door to the next to the next, crying for someone to let her in out of the freezing cold. Immediately I ran to...

15 days 'til I turn 39! 08/08: Little Animals: 08/11: So often the lighting in my house in terrible for taking pictures. I suppose I should experiment with the settings on my phone camera, and maybe use a flash sometimes? But it's really annoying. 08/12: You know...
PL: Audiobook and pain, exchange fic, HOH, ASZz
20 days 'til I turn 39! Audiobook and pain -- As I mentioned somewhere, working with my narrator on the files of the first TLY audiobook ate tons of my time. I had the Kindle book and the audio files open side by side, and was following every word to check for...
TWIP: Duo, LA’s, work cats, Renaissance Festival, stuff I bought
29 days 'til I turn 39! 07/22: I'm sure many people have seen this, but I felt it needed to be documented: When those folks came up with those names for Gundam Wing, did they know what lasting entertainment they would provide the fans? Two cats in harmony on the bed:...
Birthday countdown 2019 begin!
39 days 'til I turn 39!! I promise I really am working on stuff. Two big projects (exchange fic and helping get this first TLY audiobook finished), which both more or less have deadlines, have been siphoning all my time lately... but I have gotten bits and pieces of...
TWIP: So many work cats, zoo sketches, and the best thing that’s ever happened to me in life
07/07: I was sitting in bed with some cuddlebugs, and Hiko was doing this: https://kuroiyousei.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/20190707-Hiko-sneepin-next-to-Piper-and-twitching.mp4 What do you suppose he was dreaming about? Eventually I rose and wore my new plaid...
PL: Nine Decades, site/AO3 stuff (including HCBT and weeping), Castlevania fic at last!, exchange fic
Nine Decades -- I finally got back around to this! The plan was to have the final story to linear completion before moving on in my schedule, but, having recently posted Aku Soku Zan(za) on AO3, I wanted to move on to that in order to post something and prove...

I only have one grandparent left
My mom's dad died this morning. I don't need sympathy; I'm just documenting the event. He was an abusive husband and father and one of the most annoying people I've ever met. He was never worse than incredibly obnoxious to me, but I didn't like him. I often have to...

His Own Humanity: After-Dinner Brandy
Trowa promised Bernard and Catharine he would tell them the whole truth about himself one of these days. How will his long, tragic story change their feelings about him, and about him dating their son?
Visual Art: Exchange Art Etc.

My Gundam Wing fanart is not quite a big enough collection to have its own gallery. Some of my original art is of characters you won't recognize from old stories. There is probably more Rurouni Kenshin fanart around the site that isn't yet tagged correctly to appear...

Watercolor Pencil (CretaColor Aqua Monolith) is my favorite medium. I also enjoy graphite. Prismacolors frustrate the hell out of me, though they certainly have beautiful results. I used to work with a tablet quite a bit, but these days fibromyalgia makes that...
