Getting back up-to-date
Aug. 16th, 2010 05:00 amUpdate on previous post:
1) I have not gotten a doctor's appointment yet, but I'm headed in the right direction. I have their phone number and a script to sorta work off of and a back-up plan for if I don't get it done tomorrow. (Plan B: Have Mom do it for me ^^a Hey, if it works...!)
2) Work stuff is all cleared up! I'll be subbing in for someone on medical leave or vacation or wev, until a more permanent route opens up, which will probably only take a week or two.
3) Yeah, still failing at this. I'm stuck in "Ignore it and hope that my problems disappear" land -_-a It's been more than a week and I haven't done anything about it, waiting more wasn't going to help. Also, I've been wanting to post, and I've got these neuroses about replying to comments by/around the time when I make my next post, so.

Got Burupya's pattern up on![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
hooked_on_anime, finally :Db It's over this-a-way ♥
I've also dug up Kero-chan's pattern after having lost track of it briefly, and that should be going up sometime soon as well. Probably also with pictures of Kero-chan 2.0 "eating" cake from AI :Db
I've got some thoughts brewing on the whole money-for-amigurumi front, but I'm not sure I'd be able to make much of them without a wider audience over there in the first place. Still, thinking.

Speaking of thoughts brewing! I've got a couple of potential essay posts bubbling in the back of my mind. They're both of them more complicated than this, but I did want to get the basic ideas down somewhere.
* Girls/women and anime culture; the characters we love, the differences in Japanese entertainment glass ceilings vs US entertainment glass ceilings (agency in particular), perception of anime culture by insiders, outsiders, and former insiders as related to involvement of girls/women, etc.
* Why I don't think we'll have any openly GLBTQI characters in kids' shows before gay marriage is made a legal right on a national level, and what characters I expect at that point.
I mentioned the former over at Shakesville (my home-away-from-home on the 'net), which drummed up a few comments that suggested different directions for it than I expected (and am still planning), and the latter was certainly prompted by discussion there (of Korra, actually), but these both need at least more thought and probably also research (particularly with the former, as the latter is more opinion-based) before I write them out. They're still there, though.

Saw Perseids on Friday morning! They were pretty damn cool, even if I didn't catch too many of them. Drove waaaay out in the country (sat around in Central Discount's parking lot, as a matter of fact), and just being able to see the Milky Way in all its glory was worth it, but adding a meteor shower to boot, well!
I'll have to try and make a yearly outing of it, I think :3

There's a good six prompts on the DCMK anon kink meme that I've got my eye on - not that I've done anything with them beyond the most basic planning in most cases, but still.
I'm also horribly tempted by that "post one sentence of your WIPs!" meme that Icka's got up, but uh. Well, for one thing, I don't think I could manage to go without leaving an explanation. For another, I've only got four or so WIPs I'm really concentrating on, even peripherally, and one of them I'm not even sure I have anything I haven't posted yet. Still, it'd be kinda fun just to make a "talk about my WIPs" post. Maybe I'll do that.

I think that's everything for now. Or, if it's not, I'll just have to make another post. ...Whee, more posting! \o/
