☆ Yesterday involved writing YOI fic while nomming katsudon at my favourite Japanese restaurant on a lovely, mild day. Good times. Even though I had to do a lot of running around, it was nice to take a few moments to chill like that. Though, they recognize me by now, which is kind of... well, I hadn't realized that I go there so often.

☆ Snowed today. A lot. Eew. I'm not looking forward to trudging through that tomorrow. BUT IT MUST BE DONE. (Sigh)

☆ Put up the tree with my parents today. I swear, five minutes with them in a situation like this would drive even someone to drink. As it was, that glass of wine was not nearly enough. But at least it's DONE and I don't have to think about it any more. I'll be kind of glad when this month is over, because I actually kind of hate Christmas.

☆ I finished drafting my fic for the Silver Linings zine. Whoo! ...Unfortunately, I hate it. Nooooo! But it's typical for me to hate my writing at certain stages, so it'll probably be fine. I think I know why I hate it, too - it's not grounded enough in a sense of time and place - and that's an easy enough thing to fix with revising. And maybe reading up on the time period a little more to get into the right feeling for it. It'll be fine by the end - at this point, I can write Hetalia with my hands tied behind my back - but you know how it is.

☆ ...Reaaallly should start working on my Silent Night assignment one of these days, shouldn't I. Maybe once I get that zine fic sent off, it'll be easier to concentrate on it. I have ideas! I just. I don't know. :V I think I took on too many commitments. But once that thing is done, yes. I'm aiming for doing assignment + 1 treat, maybe more. So glad for the short minimum.

I ended up getting katsudon myself earlier this week as well, thanks to all the talk about it. The local restaurant's broth was a little on the weak side, but the pork was good. Though what I really want now is to see a recipe for making katsudon pirozhki! I'd be tempted to try my hand at it myself. Perhaps it might even work out better in a more karjalanpiirakka style (since those already have rice in them).

I'm still waiting until the series ends before I watch it all the way through, but YoI appears to confirm that my preferred character type in so many anime series is the angry smol (as the Tumblr kids would say). Between Switzerland and Yurio in particular...so smol, so angry, so delightful. ^_^

Sounds nice. <3 And yessss I need a katsudon pirozhki recipe too! Though I should probably attempt regular pirozhki before getting adventurous, I suppose.

Ooh, if you like small and angry, you'll definitely like Yuri Plisetsky, I think. Adorable little bundle of GRRR! (with a soft gooey centre)

Someone did make a recipe! Apparently it's pretty labor-intensive.....so it must be delicious. *A* I'll dig it up in just a bit.

Yesssss. *_*

Sounds like... a lot more effort than I would be willing to put in. But maybe some day I'll feel adventurous....

For my next trick, I'll type out an entire fic with my nose.

I look forward to it!
