"confects" is not a word. And if it is, it should be to do with chocolate.

...Please be prepared for many random posts of an entirely irrelevant linguistics-related nature over the next few weeks/months. ^^' Today we spent far too long concocting incredibly elaborate ways to dispose of our least favourite theorist. (You better keep looking over your shoulder, David Denison, cos we're coming to send you into space...)

Thanks to peacock I remembered that my mp3 player has quite decent sound recording, so I shall attempt some kind of voice post so you can be treated to my dulcet tones. (I sound like a man, btw. A rough Northern man. I shall attempt to make it hilarious.)

When I'm better, I mean *next* time I'm better, I'm going to completely make the most of it. I'm never taking being happy for granted again. I've always been a staunch proponent of "do it now, while you'll enjoy it, because you never know when you won't be able to", but this has reinforced it to me.

Gonna hack my way through the rest of this slightly whimsical paper about Chaucer, lol, then sleep. Oh, and lookit the cute new icon! ♥

I love the casual gayness that seems to have taken over Tsuukai Everyday, lol - not only do they have Piiko-san, but in recent weeks they've had a variety of equally flaming guests (including that mangaka who was on Janiben, with the scary pictures); ...and then there's Maru, who does a pretty good impression of being okama-ish, lol.

The bunraku ep was really cool, though. I thought the puppets would be scary, lol, but next time I'm in Osaka (haha) I'll totally go to see it! I wanted to see Maru play the shamisen too.

Scans finally emerging of the photobook! I got more than a little doki-doki, lol. ...That doesn't quite accurately describe my level of excitement, lol, but I'm trying to hold at bay the frustration I feel at not actually having my own copy yet. ;_;

Now I have to go to the library cos some bastard's got the book I want out, so I have to use the reference copy. Oh well, at least there *is* a reference copy. I *so* do not want to do this assignment. Desperately!

Oh! For some reason I dreamt about MatsuJun again last night! And he was being a lovely friendly boy! I think I dreamt he must've been in, or at least friends with, the Japan Society at Sheff, lol. I was chatting to him very comfortably about Arashi, haha!

No better way of getting me to write fic than the knowledge that I have a scary assignment to avoid do. ^^' The worst thing is, it makes you feel productive! So you think Oh, I've done something good! and are all pleased with yourself... then you remember you've still got the awful assignment waiting for you. ^^'

*goes back to awful assignment* Oh well, at least it's not looking *quite* as awful as it was a couple of hours ago. Let's see how far I get. I'm also quite alarmed by how very tired I feel. o.o

Oh, and I usually leave the charity posts to those who do them better (and I guess this is no different, as I'm linking to something someone else said) but recently postingwhore posted about Pretty Bird Woman House. It's a cause that really clicked with me: I think this sort of thing is a much-overlooked cause, because it's something that's happening in a developed country, where people either aren't looking for it at all, or don't want to see it.
