colin greening is my new favorite

There's so much I've been meaning to post about, argh, and I just can't seem to find the time or energy. A fraction of that is that:

1. This year's round of jentfic_remix is open for sign-ups, and if you were one of the people who were dissatisfied with the original system of match-ups last year, this year the moderator has said she'll be checking everyone's fic journals to see what there is to work with plus there's the option to state preferences in the sign-up form. Am I going to sign up? Oh, probably. (Cue disbelieving laughter from everyone on the flist at this time last year.) Besides being what you might call a glutton for punishment, it's a surefire way to make sure I actually write something, and challenge fic generally turns out better than my average. XD;

2. So, um, I triumphed over the spring fare sales and seem to be going to Japan for two weeks next month. Aha. :D The plan is to head up into the central mountains, specifically around Takayama, where forecasts tell me there will still be cherry blossoms (I have never seen a cherry blossom in my life) and then down to Kansai, to see gnine and xparrot in Kyoto and do some hiking. :) (And then spend a couple days in Tokyo at the end not for any particular reason nothing to do with that concert nope not me. >_>) So if anyone wants to meet up and lounge around the Shima Hanto peninsula or hike one of the Kumano Kodo trails or, well, anything else, let me know. :)

3. Keep meaning to post about Vienna Teng's new album, keep changing my mind on what I think. A couple tracks in the meantime:

Antebellum (edit: link fixed)
Kansas
St. Stephen's Cross

4. I understand that most of my flist does not quite appreciate that hockey is in fact the most perfect sport ever created and that Cornell hockey in particular is the pinnacle of it all but -- coming back with twenty-four seconds left in regulation to tie the conference semifinal and drive it into double overtime with the ultimate win yessssssssss yes yes yes regardless of what happens tomorrow we are going to the NCAAs. It has been TOO LONG. Happy. So happy.

5. BSG finale: ....................*whimper*

Ahaha I was going to avoid the remix thing like the plague but it looks like there is a new mod? OTL I totally signed up even though I...just signed up for newsbigbang too. I have been so fail lately with fic tho. -_-;;

Congrats to your team! Ahaha I am dying over basketball right now myself oh god March Madness C'mon UCLA.

2. OOOooo that sounds shiny! I'm sure you'll have lots of fun and I'm sure the cherry blossoms will be gorgeous. :D

5.....Aahhh I haven't watched but there seems to be a collection reaction of either sldfklsfdalk ugh or T______T or a combination of the two with throwing things.

I think last year I said I would sign up for it this year? But I've been out of the fannish loop for so long I would be completely lost, I think, so I shall give it a miss.

2. Cherry blossoms are beautiful. :D

4. Ahaha, I live with someone who would agree with you on the hockey front -- the whoops of joy as she was reading the article about their victory were quite loud. Go Big Red!

Tokyo YAY. :D :D

Yay for going to Japan! Of course I'm really envious and would like to squeeze into your hand baggage to tag along, but I'm sure you couldn't carry it then. XD Have lots of fun and pretty sakura! Hiking sounds interesting - will you take lots of photos? Please? :)

While downloading the songs (I've never heard of Vienna Teng, but I usually like your recs), I couldn't access the first file, I'm always transferred to the MediaFire main page. But thanks a lot for sharing, I'm always looking for new music!

As for hockey, I can't boast much knowledge except what I gathered during "Pride" and the sadistic episodes of Honjani where Kanjani8 were forced to fight against a professional team (the sports reporter's most used word when he commented the game was "nantoka" - you can imagine why!). But I'd like to see a game someday. Woah, that was a lame comment...

Anyway, glad to hear from you, feel hugged and squished! ♥

Ohhh, I so should not sign up for jentfic_remix given that I can barely update LJ anymore, but damn, I haven't written fic since November. :(

grtswrt oh man I WISH I COULD GO AND DO JAPAN TRAILS WITH YOU!! Ah well, it is not to be. :)) Take loads of pictures? ♥

[fluttering.livejournal.com]

I'm going to snag these links. I've been meaning to listen to Vienna Teng...

[pithetaphish]

Yay for more jentfic_remix pimpage! You're not alone on the 'I need challenges to make me write' path of reasoning.

And speaking of paths, it will depend on dates and such, but if you have any free time at all, I could certainly make the trip down to Kyoto next month ^_~

1. I am tempted to sign up, but. I already signed up for je_fqf and I really really shouldn't. And yet. So tempting.

2. *_*!!! Japan!! That is so exciting, I hope you have an awesome time and take lots and lots of pictures.

...the fact that you've never seen a cherry blossom depresses me D: There is a cherry blossom tree in my front yard! ;; And they are everywhere!

Vienna Teng's new album is so pretty :D I likes it!

[gingifere.livejournal.com]

kamjsjd so many people are going to Japan! I am still hammering out my plans to go in July. I'm just sorry I'm missing out on meeting up with so many people in May :(

Ooh, good luck with the remix! I will be avoiding that exchange like the plague :P
