Wow - It's been a long time....

It looks like I skipped September entirely.  Quite a change from posting nearly every day for months.  Well, there's a good reason.  All of my free time has been going toward cleaning.  I'm working on Kaichou wa Maid-sama with CrazyKitty Scans, which we're trying to get out as fast as possible every month. Since I do everything except translation and QC, I pretty much lose two nights of sleep for each chapter.

We're also working on Faster Than a Kiss. It was apparently dropped by another group after chapter 32, so we've got chapters 33 through 38 to do so far. We're not worried about the schedule as much on that one, but our goal is to release a chapter every two weeks.  If we stick to the schedule, chapter 33 should be out by Sunday! KWMS and FTAK are published in LaLa magazine, which is released on the 24th of each month.

My third project is Skip Beat! with Franky House. Luckily, I'm working with a great group on this one, including another cleaner and a typesetter. Last chapter I cleaned the whole thing, though. Kind of a rite of passage for joining the group it seems. :P Skip Beat is published in Hana to Yume, which is released on the 5th and 20th of each month, skipping every other 5th.

I'm insane. I have been keeping up on a few things, like the Kaichou wa Maid-sama anime (loved it!), Kuroshitsuji II (LOVED it!), and Bleach and Naruto mangas.  I just haven't had the time or energy to write things up. When I finish Ch. 33 of FTAK and we're done with Skip Beat Ch. 164, I'm going to take some time to go back and write in here. I really enjoy having a record of what I've read and watched, even though I now have some friends to talk to about this stuff since I've joined the scanlation community. I swear to not abandon this blog!!!

Obsession and Irritation

Ok, so I don't really know what's been up with me, but I'm really stuck on Skip Beat lately. I just finished my third time through the series and now I'm going for my fourth. But this time I'd like to write summaries of the chapters or something. More than just reading.

I'm really irritated that chapter 49 of Kaicho wa Maid-sama hasn't been scanlated yet. It's been a month and 8 days. At this rate, the anime will catch up to the scans! If I could get someone to do the translations, I'd do the rest myself. Of course, I shouldn't complain since I'm just a moocher anyway. Pfft.

Hm .. I just realized something. Mothers blog about their kids. Narcissists blog about themselves. I blog about anime. What does that say about me? Wait. Don't answer that.

Look what I got in the mail!!!!

I feel like a little kid at Christmas! \(^_^)/  My Skip Beat! volumes 1 - 20 arrived today! I can't help but use exclamation points!! They're new! And shrink wrapped! And begging to be read! YAY!!1!!!one!!
