Busy busy!

[merimask]

Just a quick update 'cause I am SO very busy now and it feels great!   A little success is better than turbo-powered coffee when it comes to motivation.  I'm having a hard time getting my sleep when I should 'cause I'm just cranking out the orders with glee I say...GLEE!

Though, I AM close to succumbing to the siren-song of Okami again...DAMN I love that game.  I have been working like a mad monkey & listening to the lovely Okami soundtrack that my dear buddy  moonphasedsent me.  Of course, the music follows along the storyline, so as I'm listening I'm saying "This is the song you hear when Amaterasu uses 'bloom' for the first time...this is Waka's fight theme...Ooo this is the part where Oki learns the meaning of loss", and of course it naturally follows that I want to play it again & see my old friends Ammy & Issun.  I've never played a game where I've been so utterly charmed by the fantasy world it immereses you in.  Which is saying a LOT considering how elaborate all the Final Fantasy games are.  Still, if I had to be trapped inside a video game (like in the movie "Tron"), I'd want it to be Okami.

Must...resist...Okami.  

In other news (fannish!  I'm tired & so my thoughts turn to fantasy I suppose) , I can't help but be excited about the way the Inuyasha manga is headed (I think...  Takahashi-san has a way of leading you down the path & then stranding you there).  Yay Kagome...you go girl.  Can't wait to see what happens.  I think I know where it's heading & it'd be SO cool (and ironic!) if I was right for once.  You never know though.  I suppose it's terribly Pollyanna-ish for me to still be excited about this manga, but I can't help it.  I just want to know what happens!  And what about Sesshoumaru?  I suppose he's still wandering around in a snit about that sword.  *sigh*  Poor Sess.

Funny thing;  Many times when I go to type "Sesshoumaru" I do it so fast that I hit the "y" instead of the "u"...and so I have to be careful & always check.  Because of this tendency I have, in my head I often think of him (especially when he's all moody & pouty & practically hormonal) as "Sesshoumary"...& that's not dignified!

Oh man...I need  rumdiculousto draw "Sesshoumary" for me.  To go along with "EmoSess".   Now I see why Rumiko Takahashi has been busily emasculating poor Sess in the manga...it's fun!   I do hope she tapes his balls back on soon though.  I feel so sorry for the poor guy.

Anyway, I've babbled enough.

Oh!  And a happy welcome extended tosilverontherose.  *waving*

Hee!! :D I've always loved that video games can do that. Ookami and most of the Final Fantasy games always do that for me and the MUSIC! OMG, the music is so utterly gorgeous for both seriesusususs!! :D I think that's why I utterly adore people like Sakaguchi-san so much because his stories always have so much heart in them. :D

Ee! And I've totally been wanting to huggle and pounce on you for the last week in your entries! I'm so glad that you got some good responses on the packages you sent out!! I was starting to worry about your discouragement, but I really hope everything works out --- either way, I'm so glad to hear that you're busy and HAPPY!!

Me loffs happy meri!! Well, me loffs meri no matter what, but happy meri = happy kuro, too!! ♥ ^___^

As for Mr. Yasha there... XDDD OMG, POOR SESSHOUMARU!!! And!! I thought I was the only one who accidentally kept typoing his name "Sesshoumary." XD I do it all the time!! How undignifying!! Then again, you're right, he's been so thoroghly neutered in the manga, it's depressing.

Hehe, I've definitely got my own opinion on Kagome's development. ^^; I'm a little (well, a little more than a LITTLE) disappointed with the sudden "I have hidden skillz that have been sealed in me the whole time!" because it just felt too darn sudden for me. Like with Mama-sama, all this just happened so late in the game, and it was like, "So all those sword upgrades... really DON'T matter after all, do they?!!" XD Ah well, I was arguing with myself (as I am apt to do sometimes...) about how things like the sword upgrades were "necessary" to build Inuyasha's character and get himself and everyone else to accept his hanyouheritage, but even that doesn't seem to matter much anymore. RAWR!! XD

Kagome's mikoskillz were always kind of randomly there, and I actually thought that it was really cool for it to stay kind of unexplained. Or, if it needed an explaination, I'd have felt so much better if we'd have been made to kind of care about it waaaay long ago. ^^ But that's just me. :) It just feels like it was supposed to be a plot twist but somehow fell short on me. Aaaaaaaah. What happened to my Inuyasha lurve!?!

*clings to meri* I need to sypon some excitement off of you!! Aaahh!! *LOL*

BUT!! Mostly I just came by to randomly pounce you and say, I LOFFS YOUUuUUu!! :D

*bounces on you like a super-cute kitsune version of Issun*

Noes! You can't resist Okami! How will the laundry get hung or the radishes dug if you do not play? There's fish to catch and kimonos to dye... *weeps* You must give in and save the busty babes!

*giggles and waves back* Thanks for having me, lovely Meri!

Yay, yay, yay. Yay!

I'm always surprised how happy I am for my LJ friends' successes. You'd think I'd be jealous and I've only realized in the past year that I am NOT a jealous person and *never* feel jealous of other people's accomplishments even if they are ones I would like myself.

I find it weird, anyway.

I hope you get a bunch of galleries in TO (or anything really) after you do that Artist show :) I really have to go down to TO sometime to see these big ol' artist conventions, I LOVE shopping for weird art stuff. (Especially jewellery, of course, I am a huge fan of really freaky, unusual jewellery.)

Poor Sessh. He couldn't get anything to go right for him even if he had a lucky horse shoe shoved up his...hakama.

I'm stuck in Okami. lol For some reason I can't beat Blockhead at Ogre Island. wtf? I hit the right spots and it doesn't want me to have it. (I made it through just fine the first time.)
