You guys might recall that I had quite a bit of trouble translating the training camp fantasy sharing scene in Chapter 60. However, recently a commenter left some help with some of the parts I didn't get right. Since this is a...very important scene to many (XD) I thought I'd leave a note here to let anyone interested know that the summary/translation has been updated (and if you don't want to reread it, you can also go straight to the comment to see the parts that were corrected.) Happy re-dissecting of every detail!

My last week of work before I quit for vacation and school! Maybe after that I'll actually stop to update my journal more often. I...have no idea how much of my life/future has been related in this journal anymore, or if there are even people watching/who would even want to know anymore that I don't talk to in other places anyway. XD This was mostly just meant to be a fannish journal anyway...

...DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOMESTUCK???

...I'll just shut up.

Next scanlation coming any day now. It was expected to be finished sooner but chapter turned out to have unexpected Redraw Page From Hell. All the screaming text ALL OVER THE BACKGROUND XD. (I wonder if you'll be able to pick it out when you see it? ^_^;)

Yes, life is a little busy. ...No, no, of course I didn't decide to start reading a notorious for eating the lives of innocent internet goers silly looking weird illustrated intenet story comic thing and had the sense to hold off on the life eating things till just a few weeks from now when I will have quit my job for the summer and life eating will be entirely welcome.

And I mean, even if I hadn't held off, I would only read such thing in sensible hours when it would not interfere with other things, since I would just be reading it casually since clearly it is too silly looking for my tastes and I would not get terribly into it or anything, since my sense of humor and intellectual are very sophisticated and not at all rambly and fond of stories often comprised largely of strings of mortifyingly embarrassing conversations like some things I would clearly never get into.

...If Haruna and Akimaru were trolls, what quadrant do you think their romance would fall into?

Home....sleepy...must...bed....

Hey there, everyone. I should be napping right now. Because I am...suddenly in Boston with 1010nabulation, herongale, shirono, and todaythesamesky?!?! (This is what happens when I don't update LJ enough? ^_^;) and we are all sleep deprived, but I have been sitting TWO completed translated chapters for a while now and not posting cause I was too busy preparing for trip to write the summaries, hehe... But now I'm ON the trip I don't have any preparing to do! *suddenly starts doing everything when she should be doing...Bostoney things?*

So you have this here! And 87 will probably pop out at some point soon too. Because it is practically already done, and because I need to do 88 so I can then read 89 which raws of have not been released yet cause apparently herongale is not near a scanner at the moment or something but which I have seen because last night we had a LOOK AT HERONGALE'S REAL PHYSICAL VERSION OF THE NEW OOFURI ALL OF US TOGETHER PARTY. (And by party I of course mean we sat around a stool with the mag open, heads crowded around from all angles to the soundtrack of "unintelligiblenoisesasld;alsjTHATFACE!!!" every time a page was flipped.

There are many exciting Life Things and also Fandom Things which could be talked about...but the idea of talking about all of them is daunting and/or I SHOULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT YET CAUSE IT'S SO EXCITING I SHOULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT YET <3<3<3<3<3

...If it's important I'm sure you'll find out someday. ^^

Just a little update to say sorry for the silence/lack of Oofuri chapter translation (now that the next chapter AFTER THAT is probably almost to us!). I have been ungodly busy. With translating! Just...not Oofuri T_T ...But I got paid real-life money for it! ...But totally and completely and absolutely burned myself out with translating in the process. So I might not be touching it for just a bit more m(_ _)m

If you're eager to know what happened before the next chapter comes (and I have no idea if anyone else has written up any info for everyone on it since LJ is one of the things I have yet to catch up in. And feel bad since I can't even give an estimate when I'll feel ready to get to it again hehe) Here's...a...summary...like...thing T_T;;;;

(It's me squealing/summarizing at the people who will listen about what going on in the chapter as I read it when it first came out. I...did a quick skim through to try to cut out the squealing/non-informative parts. So let's just hope I got most of it...and didn't cut out any actual information accidentally XD Also, you'll get a look at the confusion that goes through my head as I read these chapters, which will probably make you wonder how I ended up getting offered paid manga translation work at all! M-Many things are easier to understand for me than Oofuri?)

Sorry, journal. I neglect you. Wicked people tempted me away from you to other areas of the internets. (They used porn and tea and...there was no helping it.) But look. Life, a detailed summary:

1. I enjoyed the Yaoi-con.

2. I enjoyed the people at the Yaoi-con. (Whether I am quiet or not. It has taken me anywhere from 2-5 years to start speaking semi-readily with someone. SO I LIKE TO THINK I WAS DOING WELL.)

3. I enjoyed the dango.

4. I enjoyed the moroheiya instant ramen. (Why are you not sold in Idaho? T_T)

5. I enjoyed that I wasn't raped and murdered at the Reno hotel we stayed in on the way home, though I refrained from using the used soap in the shower.

6. I enjoyed that Jenny's car can apparently go at least (darn how far was it? ...50 miles? More?) on the deserted Nevada highway with the gas meter on empty.

7. I enjoyed singing Don't Stop Me Now after I got home (by myself in the car with the windows rolled up only while the car is in motion) because I was secretly disappointed it was not available at karaoke.

8. I enjoyed the children who crept around me at the library on Halloween, unnerved by my outfit, constantly running from my field of vision.

9. I enjoyed the Craig's List rabbit, before we gave him away.

10. I enjoyed the Craig's List roosters, but in a different, more chewy way.

11. I enjoyed how the rabbit came back to us for biting people.

12. I enjoyed naming her Steak.

13. I also enjoyed the lemon tree, the 30 chickens, the cabinet, the two sets of oversized wooden spools, the horse manure, the...

14. I enjoyed losing track of all the things Mother takes home lately because it allows me to imagine she does something with her free time other than hit the refresh button on the free stuff on Craig's List page, somewhat delusional though that may be.

15. I enjoyed late-night Hikago Plurk marathons (OHTHISSHOW<3), a much more preferable venue for sleep loss than the waking up at 4:45am I will be doing all next week for work.

16. I enjoyed turning in my first grad school application about as much as I will enjoy my bed/rise time.

( 17. I will always enjoy Oofuri. )
