Hi all!
Sorry, recently we’ve been bogging you down with our clash with leechers (I don’t mean the readers on mangafox, mangago, or anything. NOT THE READERS. I mean the people who take the work and upload it without first asking for our opinion. I mention this because I wrote a long comment to a person who was under the impression that Cae and I were against readers on aggregate sites. We’re not, I promise. I’m one of those readers myself xD).
We’ll figure something out. And I promise we’ll try our best to finish translating the manga to where the mangaka dropped it.
Any who! I wasn’t intending on complaining about the people complaining about us. No, this is just a funny story that happened on Monday xD.
Here it goes:
So, I don’t know how many of you know this, but I can’t cook to save my life. It’s kind of like this actually:
Yes. Even as I live alone in a foreign country. The best I can do is curry xD. And that takes me hours haha. But yes. Cannot cook to save my life. And ironically, this might have been literal o.O. And I don’t mean “literally” as in “figuratively”. I mean “literally” “literal”. You’ll get what I mean as you read.
So, Monday, I come back to my place (an old, but kinda cute once you get over all the downsides of it, Japanese apartment suite… thing. Maybe I’ll post a picture one day). It’s late and I’m like “Cook……?”
So I had this brilliant idea. I had bought yams. And my mother always used to nuke them in the microwave. So I thought, “YAY, have a plan for dinner!”
And I covered the yam with a damp paper towel, placed it on a plate, and nuked it for 10 minutes. It smelled soooo good. I took it out as soon as it beeped its ready-ness. But as I was drooling over my dinner, I realized that the bottom half wasn’t cooked thoroughly. So I tossed it back in for 5 minutes.
And then… yeah… um… yeah…
There was this annoying beeping and I was like “ooookay…”
And then of course I caught the smell of smoke.
….
…..
…..
…
Yeah. I go and take a look and lo and behold… black smoke is billowing out of the crack between the microwave door and the microwave itself. So like a genius my first instinct is to yank the microwave door open.
And then…
Meanwhile, the alarms are going off like crazy. So I’m tearing up and coughing like mad as the alarms blare at me deafeningly. I toss all the windows and doors open, and gasp through the screen doors like a dying fish xD.
As my eyes are stinging and I’m gasping for breath, and inhaling the black smoke, I kept thinking “omg this is so funny. And scary. But so funny. I almost killed myself using a microwave…”
And then the skype notification goes off. So like the sane person I am, I don’t leave the smoke-filled building and I plop down at my computer and read Cae’s message.
The conversation that followed is HILARIOUS. Simply because I was telling C about how I almost engineered my own demise and Cae was totally focused on our problem with the leecher.
Behold our conversation (copy and pasted <3)
Sane Jackie is sane. Hahaha.
Even now, two days after, I can still smell the smoke -_-. I need to air this place out when I’m at school… *sigh*.
Hahaha.
But never fear! I’m still alive! ❤
School just started so things are busy again. I’ll try and sneak in some translations here and there, but it’ll be slower. I mean it this time. Seriously. xD
Hearts and hugs,
Jackie
