Some random links and things

Many things that were discussed on saturday night and I'm sure I'm missing lots of them here's what I remember.

- Amazing sushi/yakiniku place in Vancouver: http://www.shabusen.com/
- What Karaoke is like in Japan, and the two places in Seattle that we want to try out: http://www.sbkaraoke.com/ and http://sing.enkore-k.com/
- The Podfic Archive - almost everything that has been recorded is here. If it isn't, it's probably been posted to amplificathon. Looks like not so much in your particular fandom as there is is a couple of mine, but... anyway.
- Calhale's Twilight fanfic (seriously, if you are one of her fangirls, I will be so amused at how small the world is)
- A Very Potter Musical - awesome things that Darren Chriss did before he was Blaine on Glee.

And now I'm going to revel in having three consecutive days off. Probably by sewing some stuff and mailing very late Christmas presents to my mom and sister. I know, I'm a real rebel. XD

Making a point to post things to LJ

Especially fannish things.

So, I just managed to pay enough attention to realize that:

1) It's Sho's birthday and therefore Aquarius season and therefore nearly baranoneko's birthday as well as my fathers and Benkei's.

2) TeniPuri Festa 2011 just completed! (there are fun pics available on shinkata_san) They had some great cast this year, including all Seigaju (duh), all of Rikkai (Nao-kun!), all most of the important bits of Hyoutei, and all the important bits of Higa. Plus random Kishio Daisuke and Tosshi! A DVD I will certainly be wishing I could afford to import. Ugh but I hate the exchange rate right now.

3) My fandom shifts have been a bit ridiculous since I started my podfic addiction. Probably because my two most hardcore fandoms before the podfic addiction have one and zero recorded stories respectively. Boo. On the other hand, I have fallen in /love/ with certain of Katie Forsythe's work and with that particular fandom in both new and old incarnations.

4) I am now TWO FULL ALBUMS behind on my Sakamoto Maaya collection. I may be trying to rectify this in the near future. I'm so excited that she hit number one on the Oricon weekly sales, I'll feel remiss if I don't attempt to contribute to a good second week showing.

Hello 2011, here's hoping you bring me more focus and attention for the things I love. (Also, a bit more money would be nice.)
