I thought I needed to post about this since I've been getting a lot of questions (and concern) over the past week since Sasuke 31 aired in Japan. First of all, thanks so much to everyone for their well wishes and show of support. I'm thankful for my long-time readers and friends who know this sometimes happens. I hate bringing this up but this hit me pretty hard this month and I'm so far behind in everything that I needed to come out and post about it. Some of you already know about this, but for others that are new (and there are a lot of you), I wanted to bring it up again so everyone can understand why there is such a huge delay this year. I'm still getting cluster headaches during the day so I have to pace myself when I do these blogs. When I have them, I'm out of commission for several hours. Clusters also don't just come in "one" big headache.. that's why they call them clusters and when they hit, I can't do anything but try not to hurt myself. No, I can't take anything for them and yes they come in cycles so it's over a prolonged period of time. So far it's been about 2 weeks for this set to hit me hard every morning. I'm dazed most of the day and it's affected every facet of my life. You all may remember that I am unemployed for that reason. And yes, I've been trying to get state assistance since this is unfortunately a permanent issue in my life. I'm hoping when this cycle subsides I can continue and update the site with a massive backlog of information, photos and videos.
In order of tackling, I managed to record a podcast this week with William. I'll update this blog with the most recent episode which William is currently working on (we had some tech issues so he's trying to fix it, and I'm in no condition to rerecord an almost 2 hour podcast all over again). Thanks to William for keeping on schedule for this and being patient to sit and fix the audio problem for several hours! Until we upgrade his recording set up, we may run into this problem from time to time. I ask everyone be patient on the recording of the podcasts from here on out as this is still a new venture.
Edit: It's out! SPOILERS - Note that this was taped AFTER the Sasuke 31 taping and as such we talk about spoilers in the show. I haven't blogged about it yet (note above) so if you are waiting for that please wait to hear the podcast until after you see Sasuke 31.
Next on the list will be the video for AnimeNext. It was 1 1/2 hours and provided I can stare at the computer long enough I'll edit that and put it up on my YouTube channel. Thanks to both my hubby and to William for each of their videos. I just have to get it out of my laptop, onto my PC and work on it properly. I just couldn't stare at the computer long enough to do it. Third mailing out all of the perks to my fundraiser who everyone has been PATIENTLY waiting for me to mail out. I'm so sorry that I'm delayed from when I originally said I would. I know I listed all of the perks on the website as December but I really planned (and announced) I'd have it just after the Sasuke 31 broadcast. I intended to do a lot of that during the week before the broadcast but that damn storm that cut out my power really screwed me over. Then of course I got sick and threw the whole schedule completely out of whack. Next is the MAMMOTH set of blogs of Sasuke 31's TBS airing (this year will be particularly long as there were 4 stages). Followed closely by at least one Sasuke 31 competitor blog (you may know him as Wreathman). Then going back to posting personal videos and pics of my trip to Japan.

Forgive me if I'm a bit depressed of how far behind I am. It's just in my nature to be this way, even with all of the encouragement I've had. Uuuuugh.. This is of course while working hard on a huge project that I hope to be able to announce soon. I'll update as fast as I can within reason as my health also affects the quality of my writing and limits the amount of time I can stare at a computer screen. I'll update twitter first as usual as I can always just look at my phone for a bit and write something out. Blogs take a lot longer for me as I'd have to stare at my screen for it. I promise I'll get them out soon, just please be patient and I hope I can deliver with the quality everyone has gotten used to.
