功夫不负有心人

总算在整整一年之后,姬神的巫女有了更新的蛛丝马迹。相信小说本体很快就会更新了,而且会相当的精彩XD
  
不用说,接下来我也会用歇了一年的日语(并没有)继续翻译新的第4章的,请多多指教。

Good things come to those who wait

Himegami no Miko the internet visual novel is updating again after exactly a year. Five pictures lead to quite some interesting perceptions. I am so happy that it is not left to be a pothole after all. Hail to the creators of HnM.

斯人已逝,奈何独活

6月10日凌晨4点,我从恐怖的噩梦中醒来,便接到奶糖和游人的消息,说我最爱的声优之一,我女声优的初恋,川上とも子小姐已经于前日急逝了。

産経新聞

所属事務所は「誠に残念ながら薬石効なく急逝いたしました」と説明。川上さんは卵巣がんのため病気療養していたという。詳しい死因については「ホームページに掲載した内容以上のことは明かせない」としている。

これまで応援してくれたファンには、「生前中は皆様に多大な応援を頂き心から感謝申し上げます。ありがとうございました」と感謝の意を示した。

我不知该如何形容我的心情。这就是我的一部分已经离我而去的感觉了吗。 震惊悲痛的感觉,肯定还会伴随我很长一段时间。

但是在此时此刻,至少让我像每个川上姐姐的迷一样,謹んでご冥福を祈ります。川上姐姐,请在天堂里过得幸福安康。

Time flies

It has been almost a year since Himegami no Miko, the web novel was updated for the last time. As time goes by ruthlessly, the chance of it ever being completed gets slimmer and slimmer. In Chinese internet slang, a novel left undone is called a pothole, and the fact is, the longer a pothole remains, the more likely it is never going to be filled. That is the reason that I am rather pessimistic about the conclusion of Himegami officially; I would rather believe that Sumio Uetake san is saving the ending that he has conceived since the beginning of the story for the animation, than the possibility of having trouble find a perfect ending for the climax, then leaving it there (killing us who bit the bait). 

For the same reason I doubt if the translator of Himegami no Miko, kongetsume san is ever going to finish translating it into English. Don't get me wrong here, I want it to be done very much, with my fingers crossed. However, the truth is, everyone has a limited life, and can do only limited things in their limited time. If something is not important enough for one to finish at the most feverish time, it's even less likely that it would be done at a later point. Procrastination, past a certain threshold, means that it will never get done.  

But again, is it really worth to know what happens in the story, given that the story is a pothole? It will only make people like me, who has read what's available, angst about not having the rest. Maybe, just maybe, someone can write a pseudo ending to relieve my pain. I'd be so grateful for it. Sigh...

简式蛋挞(Egg Tart)

I made it for the international potluck party, with modified recipe from here

Yield 20 tarts in 3-inch muffin pans



Ingredients

* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 pinch salt
* 10 tablespoons butter, diced
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 egg
* 2 tablespoons cold water
*
* 1 cup water
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 3 eggs
* 3/8 cup milk, 2% reduced fat
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla-walnut flavor

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt together. Blend in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resemble coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the cold water. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture to form a soft dough. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. In a saucepan over low heat, stir water and sugar until sugar dissolves. Measure 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the resulting syrup and set aside to cool.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
4. Divide dough in half. Roll each half out to 1/8 inch thickness (as thin as you can without breaking it). Using a 3.5 inch (8.5 centimeter) round cookie cutter, cut out 20 rounds. Press dough into lightly greased 3 inch tart pans.
5. In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk and vanilla flavor. Beat until smooth. Strain into reserved syrup and mix well. Pour into prepared tart shells.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is set.
7. The remaining dough and syrup can be stored in 4C for the next day.
