I spent a few hours last night, and several this morning, untangling Christmas lights. (ugh!) Mom and I have come to an agreement: this is the last time that we ever buy a pre-lighted tree. One fuse blows, or a single bulb out of place, and it takes half of forever just trying to find the problem.

I've just gotten to page 350 of Flesh and Blood, and I have 26 pages of Bloodlines written now.

Well, I've always used the phrased "double-voiced" to reffer to two people shouting the same thing at once. Thanks for the translation, Durandal. Here's the next bit:

I've reached page 349 of Flesh and Blood, and I've gotten a fair way through the 13th chaptersode.

Thanks, Durandal. Here's the first sentance: Do you need context, or can you just work from this?

You're very welcome, Ryuki. I'm glad you like it; happy belated Christmas.

I've just made it to page 347 of Flesh and Blood; a bit more work, and I'll start on Bloodlines again.

I've made it to page 346 of Flesh and Blood.

I made it all the way up to page 344 of Flesh and Blood; working on one of the battles, currently.

I made it all the way to page 341 of Flesh and Blood today; and I've gotten my 25th page of Bloodlines done, too. I'm well into the 13th chaptersode, too.

We went to a Mexican place called Chevy's; I had rice, and this tasty corn side dish called Tomatillo. It's good; I'm pretty sure they make it with some kind of sweet corn, since it tastes sweet, but not sugary or anything. Mom loved her presents, incidentally; we each got a different cake to have, since niether I nor my sister was in the mood for ice-cream cake, and I don't really like the kind that Mom chose, anyway.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday; we haven't had cake or opened presents yet, since the cake wasn't ready until late yesterday, but we did all go out to dinner together, so that was fun.

I just made it to page 339 of Flesh and Blood; one more page and I do some more work on Bloodlines.

I've gotten to page 337 of Flesh and Blood; things seem to be coming along more quickly now, although part of that might be inspiration from the episode itself.

Because the language itself fascinates me; there are so many nuances that English doesn't seem to have, even down to the sentance structure and word use. The differing levels of formality are also something that I haven't encountered before. I also find the sound of the lanuage intriguing, which is admittedly something that I can't really expiriance unless I read the words aloud to myself, but sometimes I do do that. Still, if you're not interested, I'll respect that and I won't ask again.

I've made it to page 335 of Flesh and Blood, and I'm fairly well into the next of the "in-show" parts I have to cover.

How would I go about doing that? What do I have that you would want, Durandal?

I just made it to page 334 of Flesh and Blood; I'm very close to the next "in-show" part of the chaptersode, too.

I've made it to page 333 of Flesh and Blood; three!

I just made it to page 332 of Flesh and Blood, just a bit more work and I'll get to the next "in-show" part.

I just made it to page 331 of Flesh and Blood.

Happy new year, Ryuki.

This one went over the usual 12 a bit, too. So, here are pages 13 - 15:

Pages 7 - 12:

Ask, and you shall (eventually) recieve. Chapter 6, pages 1 - 6:
