Well, life tends to have it's ups and downs

So, a little mostly un-wow-related life stuff, and then some ranting and explaining, and some news.

The first two quarters I was down here at Evergreen, the classes always had plenty of room, so I felt fairly comfortable waitlisting classes this quarter...  that turned out to be a terrible idea.  Apparently, due to budget shortfalls, they decided to let in an unprecedented amount of transfer students this quarter, and didn't bother to make room for them by adding more classes.  So, at the end of last week, I was at wit's end, scrambling to get into classes, even if they weren't the best fit with my area of study, so that at least I'd end up at full time status and get my financial aid for the quarter.  Things eventually kind of worked out, I'm taking enough credits now, but my schedule is pretty fucking terrible.  This impacts wow stuff in two ways - first, I'm still on the way out of being in a shit mood, and I'm not terribly productive when I'm in a shit mood.  Second, it'll probably take a week or two to figure out where translating fits into this new schedule.

Alright, so here's two things that bug me about people who read our scanlations (I love our fans, I really do, but come the fuck on).  First:  if I anticipated your question and answered it in a blog post already, do me the fucking favor of reading it rather than asking the same shit over and over.  Second:  if you don't like one of our series, I really couldn't give a flying turd in space less.  I love to hear about it when you do like something we're working on, but telling me which series you don't like just sounds like a passive aggressive way to whine that other things aren't coming out as quickly.  TL;DR, I love NEEDLESS, it isn't slowing anything else down, and if you still have an issue, I'm all out of tissues for you.

So, despite my bad mood, I haven't been entirely unproductive...  I haven't gotten much translated, but we've rearranged things and Kaichu! should be getting a lot more attention now, which I know is good news for lots of people.  We also picked up someone who's going to work on an amazing surprise for you guys that'll seem like it came out of nowhere.  On top of that stuff, we've got raws for a future project in the mail, raws for some upcoming doujin projects in the mail, and I've been getting us a bit ahead of the game in terms of scanning raws.  Even when I'm not directly working on a translation, I personally can spend 6 hours in a sitting getting other shit done for the group and still not make a dent in what all needs doing.  Anyway, more later, class is starting.
