Ummm... hi! I have nothing to say, really. How boring is that?
I blame Facebook and Goodreads. I read a lot these days. The Adrien English Mysteries is a hit for me. The first one was horridly cliché, but the second one... was much, much better.
Also, if someone knows by any chance the title of that fanfic with Garak and Bashir in the Mirror universe where Q shows the near future and Garak takes Bashir away from DS9 to some other planet to save his life...
I thought I had saved it, but no! I can't find it godsdamnit!
Oh yeah... now that I'm actually writing... Alas, I'm handling a translation. From English. I hate it. Why can't I get normal translation jobs? (Because normal jobs are grabbed up by everybody else and by the time someone, anyone thinks of asking me it's usually the shitties, most disgustingly sucky stuff that gets stuck in my hands.) It's some fluffed up sales bullshit with lots of shiny words and no substance. I am struggling and suffering - and I won't even be paid for these 3 pages! This is just the test run. I am... not sure this is worth it. Actually... I'll go ask how much they'd be paying me.
And yay, if I refuse, my dad will bitch at me because I "obviously don't want to work". As if I would love to translate phrases like "ships with broad product capabilities" and "proven real world performance with marquee clients across industries". Yep, just what I wanna do with my evenings.
