rachelmanija is looking for nonfiction about modern cities, or about modern non-urban locations. Preferably narrative in form, rather than sociopolitical analysis.

The Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is going live with a major update tomorrow, including the Carnival Diabolique. Chaos Theory III is remaining live until the 15th.

I'm toying with more decant circles. :D I can't quote prices for CD yet because I don't know how many bottles are in the Carnival this time, plus the Lab is raising prices finally, due to shipping and component price rises. The bottles are, I think, going to be $20 individually.

Chaos Theory is remaining at $15 each - I can't quote an exact price at the moment, since the Lab's site is down while they ready the update and I've forgotten what the shipping on 5 bottles would be, but I would think it would run about $4-5/imp, accounting for shipping from the Lab and from me to you and for decanting supplies, etc.

And thus ... a poll! It's a telophase poll, so there's plenty of non-decant-circle questions, too.

( Right this way... )

fascinoma wants to know... just what is this bug? Besides cute and furry. And possibly fake (if it is, it moves nicely and is a nice job).

Chicken!

8 skinless boneless chicken thighs. Rub 'em with Dijon mustard, press them into panko crumbs (which I seasoned with a bit of thyme and basil, and smoked salt and ground pink peppercorns). Bake in 375 ove until done.

Don't yet know how it tastes, since it's still in the oven, but man it smells good.

(It's from 500 3-Ingredient Recipes, which I got because there's a lot of fairly quick recipes in there. :D)

ETA: Mm, good! The mustard ended up fairly subtle, almost a lemon without the bite. The panko could have been seasoned a bit more. As I predicted, the bottoms are soggy from sitting in the chicken fat as they cooked, but if I had a rack to put them on and a pan to catch the drippings, it would have been perfect. :D

Wolf's Rain, eps 9 and 10

Episode 9 was so incredibly not full of Engrish that I went ahead and watched 10. And have finally hit paydirt!

Ep 9:

Rich woman trying to molest Hubb: I heard that the woman went in the castle was a survivor of blue blood

Ep 10, Disc 2

Interchangeable soldier: Shoot to the four lads who took away the target girl

Tsume has been renamed "Lanco." Shesan is spelled "Xuesan," which at least makes sense.

The guy who's been hunting the wolves must have an exceptional shotgun, as the guy interrogating him reveals: Four metal warheads with caliber at 30mm are found

Hige, complaining about Toboe's sprained ankle: How could he get wrenched in such a forest?

Hige, talking about the Forest of DEEEEEEEEEATH! that they're walking through, I think: No orbit! The greatest thing is that there's no mankind

Hige has now been renamed Lanhu.

"Scent" has been translated as "taste."

Tsume is talking in a bit of netspeak now: Damn1

I believe Toboe is now Lanho.

Kiba is named Nangya. Why not "Lan[blah]" like everyone else? Is it because he's so speshul?

Scientist woman whose name I've forgotten: The wolves that occurred in the city. They occurred when Xuesan woke up.

Malice Mizer guy: It will be the key to open the amusement park. [WE HAVE IGNITION! rachelmanija tells me that "amusement park" is one of the ways they find to translate "Paradise" in this show.]

Tsume, to Kiba: Now you just lack of it.

Malice Mizer guy: If she can shower in the full moon more times


ETA: My kitty likes to lick my toes. That's not Engrish: she really has started to like licking my toes, for some reason.
