1.21 jiggawatts!!! D=

It's been a long time since I've seen a lightning storm as magnificent as the one that regaled me last night. Even with our lightning rods, and the surge protectors, and with Utena and Tsukushi safely plugged into my lovely wonderful dependable old-fashioned weighs 30 pounds (yes, he does) uniterruptable power supply, Edward, I decided to turn everything off and crash 2 hours early. I'd rather sacrifice a couple pages of quota rather than have my two girls fried. >3<

My room is creepily silent without Utena and Tsukushi on. Yes, I normally never turn them off. The silence was so loud....and I ended up sleeping an extra hour and a half last night. No alarm clock, since I use a free little program on Utena that plays mp3s to wake me up. (Nothing like starting the day with the overture to Phantom of the Opera blaring at you.) Oh well. I do feel quite rested!! Yay for getting 9.5 hours of sleep!!! 

 When it rains, it pours. Literally and figuratively. Script for Clay vol 8 arrived on Monday, as stated earlier. Then yesterday SE3 send me script for all of Honey 8, an updated version of my deadlines schedule that runs a full year ahead in time, and scans of those missing Skip vol 13 pages. And I hear from my Japanese friend about the pic I promised her months ago.

Now, more work-related info. First up, the Skip pages. Remember how I couldn't finish vol 13 back in November b/c of those missing pages?? We finally have replacements. YAY! Thankfully page 171 was an easy yellow page. 76 was an orange, but it turned out to be not-so-bad. ^^ I finished them both in about an hour, and vol 13 is finally done! XD

According to my new deadlines schedule, Honey will end in October. The idea makes me feel weird. I mean, I started Nana in Jan '05, and it's still going. I started Skip and Clay in October of '05, and they're both still going. Honey is my fourth series to start with number one, and it's been such a huge presence in my life so far. At the end of vol 10, it will be over. O.o I prolly won't mourn it's being complete too much, though. Nana's schedule will revert back to the standard one vol every 2 months to keep up with the direct-to-GN printing schedule. And we mustn't forget NT3. *has huuuge sweatdrop* I'll likely have Clay 14 by then, and maybe an 8th random Naruto volume, so I'm sure I'l lbe quite busy even without Honey. 

Still. It will be very strange to have completed my first series. (The English and Tuxedo Gin don't count, since I didn't start either with vol 1.) I'm going to miss Morita-sempai's antics, even if they're hell to letter.

Work calls, I suppose. Back to 5 titles a day!!! If the pattern holds true, NT3 will be arriving at any moment....*hides* You might be seeing my insane laughter icon in the very near future...
