I fight the river and the flow

There are too many things to say, and not enough me to say them.

Another excellent conversation that took place in Tokyo, regarding Hikaru no Go:

The Strange: ::randomly:: He bought a fan!
me: OMG, he did!
The Strange: He went out and bought a fan!
me: Yes, yes!
The Strange: And he clutched it!
me: He totally did!
The Strange: He clutched it while he was playing Go!
me: ::sob:: You understand! You understand!

Cue totally geeky bonding moment on the train, with an audience of wan seen-it-all Tokyoites.

Tokyo was wonderful, and tons of fun. In addition to what I mentioned in the previous entry, I saw the permanent Tokyo Cirque du Soleil show "Zed," I went to Comic City on both days, I attended a kabuki performance, I still managed to fail to go to Akihabara, I made a mildly hilarious pilgrimige to Burger King with two American friends, and I ate some astoundingly good Korean food at the Copain Copine. I need to get moving on the eBay thing now that I'm back, and actually list some stuff instead of merely intending to do it.

There might be a lot of posts forthcoming, because there's a crazy May challenge over on the saiun_challenge comm, and I'm going to participate as much as possible. To that end, this is the continuation of the extremely ill-advised Dark Jewels Saiunkoku crossover that I started writing ages ago, and occasionally add a bit more to. And I finally finished the opening scene!
