grin of doom

morau is one of the biggest slobs of the century

Two words of caution before I begin a post that could possibly squick people :D

1) No, it's not a release and no, morau is not cackling at the antsy Junjou (especially Terrorist) fans who are chomping at the bit for the next release. No, not at all.

2) If you obsess over cleanliness, you might experience a heart attack or shivers down your spine or invisible creepy crawlies on your skin as you read this.

Now are you SURE you still want to read this?

If you're still reading this, I applaud your brave (but foolish) soul. Slightly skewed grammar ahead too.


So basically today, morau spontaneously felt the need to clean her room.

She hasn't cleaned it for more than half a year, by the way. Would have been longer, but she actually only moved in half a year ago so...

You see, the need to tidy up a little came from the fact that she hadn't actually seen her desk in months (hidden under precariously stacked piles of paper, DVDS, other random pieces of stationery) and she was sick of balancing her plates and bowls of food on the tiny gap between the edge of the desk and the keyboard (kept cleared because it would be bothersome to type otherwise).

So morau thus embarked on the arduous, and rather health-hazardous, quest of cleaning her room. The first thing she discovered once she sorted through the piles of paper and DVDs was that there was a lolly at the bottom. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but this lolly had been there for months as well, and sometime in the summer, the lolly must have melted or ate away at the wrapping, because morau discovered this lolly lying in a congealed, sticky puddle of melted lolly.

I emphasize once again that it's been there for MONTHS.

This was a melon flavored lolly too, so it basically looked like slime. Now, amazingly, it hadn't stuck to any of my papers or ANYTHING, just the surface of the desk. Now, any NORMAL girl would have shrieked and hurriedly drowned it in some sort of industrial-strength cleaning agent and wrestled it off, but no, morau being slightly deranged, decided to go to her brother's room and inform him of her awesomeness.

Her brother wasn't really impressed, since he's cleaner than I am in general living habits. Well, sod him.

But alas, the lolly slime could not stay there forever, so morau went to fetch some cleaning spray and a cloth to get it off. It came off quite easily though.

morau continued to clean, ridding the desk and computer vents of many, many, many, many dust bunnies, and encountering nothing particularly gross until she removed some of her bags from the floor to move them around and see if she can squeeze in some more space. What did she find under the bag? A dead bug.

Not sure what kind of bug, but it was significantly big, and quite, quite dead. When morau plucked its corpse from the carpet (fingers covered by a shield of scrap paper), she discovered that the corpse was quite dry and crunchy, since it sort of crunched in her fingers. Like biscuit. So it was not only dead, it had been dead for quite some time too.

When morau finally cleaned 70% of her room, it had taken her more than four hours. And she also discovered her carpet was actually supposed to be a different color.

Her father saw morau cleaning her room and said: "Oh my god, the sun rises from the west now."

Well, minus the 'oh my god' part.

morau's mother was so delighted and moved she almost squealed (but didn't, because morau's mother is too awesome to squeal).

morau's brother was giving morau 'you are the most disgusting female EVAR' face.

morau still hasn't finished the other 30% of her room.

Worship my new LJ icon.

Doesn't it just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, eh? ;D This is what I envision Misaki's face-splitting grin to be like when he wins the Othello match against Usagi in my little drabble below (shameless plug?).

Credit to Storm in Heaven scanlations for providing the manga page from which I cropped this face.

And don't worry, Junjou scanlations are still being worked on. In case any of you are feeling antsy.

Just some clarification :)

First off, I'm glad I receive lots of love from the people who are reading my scanlations :3 It makes me feel squiggly inside.

However, I just wanted to make sure I clarified the fact that I got the raw scans for Junjou volume 6 in excellent quality (and you will see in my credits page with every scanlation release that I thanked

[info]myluv2pop for her awesomeness in sharing said raw scans), and that I'm not the person who scanned OR cleaned the raws.

This is just because I've been thanked for the awesomely clean scans and well, I didn't really clean them.

I only translate, edit, typeset, and quality check/proof read :3

Though from Volume 7 onwards it'll be a different story, as I haven't been able to find the same fangasmically good quality in the raws available for volumes 7-10. And I suck at cleaning other people's scans. ^^;

So basically, what I've done is buy Japanese volumes 7, 8, and 10 from Kinokuniya (they were out of Volume 9 SOBZ) and debinding them to provide (hopefully) better scans. Let's hope morau has some cleaning skillz.

See what I do to provide you with Junjou goodness? XD (everyone starts throwing rotten fruit at morau for her arrogance)

Did I mention how painful it is to debind your own manga and see it (literally) in pieces? Well...pages, but whatever.

Junjou Egoist Volume 6 Act 10

Just a few things I'd like to say first -

morau's scanlation sharing policy:

I don't mind you uploading in some other forum, website, or community, however please take the time to do two things-
  1. You must leave the credits page in the folder with the scanlations and credit me (if it isn't the most obvious rule ever in the world of scanlations :3)
  2. Please drop me a line through LJ, email, entry comments, whatever, with the place you're uploading it to, just so I know where my stuff is going.
This keeps morau happy, and happy morau gives you more releases.

morau's friending policy:

I friend everyone. It may take minutes, hours, or days, but I'll friend you back if you add me. If I somehow missed friending you back, you're always welcome to thwap me with a reminder somewhere, like in a comment or an email.


Now, without further ado - short, but sweet - it's EGOIST!

Nowaki and Hiroki always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. So go get your warm and fuzzy now, at:

Mediafire - http://www.mediafire.com/?onlmdxopxwb
Savefile - http://www.savefile.com/files/1605046


As always, enjoy, comment, feed me!

Edit 13/06/2008 - I just realized I forgot to put in a translator's note for page 123:

For those who don't already know - a 'futon' is traditional japanese bedding.

Junjou Fantasist - the Junjou Romantica Parody series

No, not a new chapter release.

Basically, because I like taking the piss out of everything when I can, I decided to create a very short parody series for Junjou, where I basically mess around with the speech bubbles with silly gags and whatever my brain decides to subject you all to :D

I name it - Junjou Fantasist.

Now go download it, read it, laugh at it (or not), and throw cookies, tomatoes or rotten vegetables at me.

Junjou Romantica Act 9 Volume 6 Chapter 2 Scanlations

Indeed, I was intending to release this chapter earlier, but real life loves getting in the way.

I apologize to everyone who commented (on my LJ or in the junjou_fanatics comm) that I haven't replied to. I read all the comments when I get the chance and someday I'll get around to replying all of them, but for now, I show my appreciation for all of you by trying to get those releases out sooner.

You'll probably notice with this release and the ones in the future, that my scanlation style is evolving as I'm exploring different techniques and fonts, not to mention trying to find a balance between preserving the original meaning and being understandable. Feedback is highly appreciated from everyone, feel free to complain, even.

But anyway, by now I'm sure you're just itching for me to stop talking and just get to the release already, so without further ado - ZOMG SECOND RELEASE LIKE WUT?! :D

I am now officially a scanlator

Well. I think so anyway. :)

So basically I'm now a one-person scanlation group, which will cleverly be named 'morau'. Harhar.

Basically I'm going to be embarking on a quest to scanlate Junjou Romantica Volume 6 onwards, because well, I like it and I have no life. :)

I've already made my first release, Junjou Romantica Volume 6 Act 8, which is available for download at:

MediaFire: http://www.mediafire.com/?dmiiiebamra
Savefile: http://www.savefile.com/files/1541881

Enjoy.

Since my LJ looks like a complete mess currently, if you're just here for the scanlations, please click the 'scanlations' tag to filter out the mess that is my personal life.

Oooh look, QUIZ.



The irony of this result does not escape me considering that I am rarely awake before NOON.

I also have some more photos of my homebrew Moleskine, after a strange burst of creativity hit it and dominated the covers.

WUT?! More photos? )

Oh, and before I forget yet again, here's the answer to what-the-hell-is-that-thing-I-use-in-my-NIHAO-icon )

Yeah, so I'm just THAT cheap...

I made my own Moleskine.

Okay, it doesn't look like a Moleskine. I'm not THAT good. But I made my own Moleskine imitation. I would dearly love to say it was my own awesome genius mind that allowed me to do so, but no, I had instructions. THANK YOU, MICHAEL SHANNON.

Follow the fake cut for PHOTOS! )

I'm actually very proud of myself for constructing this in less than a day with actual household materials. Of course, it actually looks better in the photos than it does in real life, LOL. But I'll be making more and experimenting with fabric covers later on.

Look, it smiles like FUJI. And was inspired by Nagayan.

Cookies of love to whoever can guess what it actually IS. (e.g. lamp, doll, cup)

Steal it and be cursed forever.

Random photos

Context: Due to my recent and unsuccessful search for a job, I have acquired a number of new things that I would never EVER consider buying. And a number of things whose price tags would have immediately been eliminated from my 'consider purchasing' list.

Follow the fake cut for randomness :) )

Bloody Object-Oriented Analysis Must DIE




I seriously feel like torching this entire bloody tutorial project work because it is so DAMN annoying. I mean FINE, if it's assessed like our assignment, which is worth 30%, but this is FOR FUCKING ATTENDANCE. Why the fuck do I have create FORTY entity classes with like 20 attributes and operations and create diagrams of them FOR ONE SINGLE ATTENDANCE MARK. And that's not all, I still have to create fucking TWENTY sequence diagrams. FOR THAT SAME SINGLE ATTENDANCE MARK.

They say it's what we have to do in the real world after we graduate. THAT'S AWESOME. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CONVENIENTLY FORGET THAT IN THE REAL WORlD WE ONLY HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON ONE SINGLE PROJECT IN A LARGE GROUP, WE DO NOT HAVE TO JUGGLE THREE OTHER SUBJECTS, AND OMG! WE GET PAID TO DO IT.

Nfu, bitch :D Yay for Mizuki!

Random plug post




Tis rather unfortunate I have a pitifully small friends list, but hey, if you see this, head on over to [info]kat8cha's journal and take a look at the Tenipuri Anon Kink Meme.

I would answer some of those requests, but sadly I am one of those fangirls that can't exactly differentiate the very fine line between canon and fanon, or more precisely, IC and very, very liberal on-the-verge-of-OOC characterization. Which is the reason why I am currently unable to finish my dubious consent FujiMizu smut.

Oh well, I probably could develop an ability to write proper IC when I actually WATCH the anime episodes that aren't chibi or crack.

But yes, please take a look at the requests and maybe write for one in your spare time? Or maybe you have a secret kink you'd like to request? XD Yes, I know I have no life. XD

And no, it doesn't have anything to do with the fact I made one of those requests.

Really.

Yet another LJ icon.




Poor poor Channaka. Seriously, I almost feel sorry for him when I watch Delicious Gakuin...when I'm not too busy laughing my head off. XD

Delicious Gakuin definitely is exercising Channaka's facial and vocal muscles. :D

No, I don't really have a life at all. :D

Many thanks to [info]eur0philia for the awesome screencap of Channaka's face.

Stealing icons is highly discouraged. So don't steal.


May. 14th, 2007

oh rly

Another LJ Icon




Yes...I finally decided to download the Tenimyu Supporters DVD 4 from [info]animemusicstore because I'm just THAT desperate for decent shots of Shiozawa's face.

ZOMG he's so cuuuuuute. XD Seriously, it's all his fault that I'm so into Mizuki.

And someone has to kick the person that did his hair in the Supporters DVD, because it's even curlier than what he had in the musicals, and now it's beyond curly and is just...FOOFY. And as cute as Shiozawa is, FOOFY is not the best hairstyle for him.

But yes, here is the debut of my newest LJ icon, featuring Shiozawa Hidemasa. XD Because I have no life and near-obsessively hang around LJ, eBay and my email accounts 95% of the time.

Yes, I know my icon doesn't do his cuteness justice. But wrestling with Windows Media Player for the right screencap is maddening.

Many thanks to [info]animemusicstore for the Tenimyu Supporters DVD 4.

Again, stealing icons is bad. Don't steal.
