Babble Babble Babble!
I have not updated in a while. A loooong while. I think I hate writing. Let's see, what's happened?
DartCon was fun. It was cool that we got a guest star up (Jared Sorenson, creator of InSpectres), and I got to play in his Lacuna game. Strange world where we were subconscious police, floating through the giant shared consciousness neutralizing hidden personalities. Kind of? I think? It was kind of trippy. I did like that our primary stat was "heart rate". Jared also introduced us to an awesome speed game called Jungle Speed, which I should probably own. It's like Set + Egyptian Rat Screw.
square0ne ran his Haunted House game, which looked incredibly entertaining. I regretted being a guinea pig for the beta of the game, since it meant I couldn't play the DartCon version with retiredhegemon. I was entertained to see that the game kept up the 1/3 mortality rate.
But yes, over the next week, the house guests trickled on in. We ended up with retiredhegemon, cheapsniper, littleredfrog, urielao, sgtpoliteness and his GF. It was incredibly packed, and of course, being Green Key, AO was filled with other alums. Madness! Hmm, I don't really remember what happened over Green Key except for generalized fun. I do remember retiredhegemon got my roommate hooked on the first part of Juuni Kokki. I remember cheapsniper brought up Game of Thrones, but we never had the opportunity to play it. I remember a very drunk margho calling me hurtful names. I remember QUINTESSENCE! Anyway, the weekend ended, and just like that, they were gone.
Spider-Man 3 was better than I feared. I liked it for the most part. Though, square0ne is right; Sand Man felt kind of extraneous. I was mostly confused by his oscillating motivations. I'm sympathetic, I'm teaming up with strangers to kill Spider-Man, I'm a good guy again! Also confused by his origin. What was the purpose of the pit? Where were the guardrails? Why weren't there cameras in the pit? The pit was filled with Science! SCIENCE!
Peter's hair as a moral barometer was pretty funny. Hair up = normal Peter; hair down = cookie-eating magnificent bastard Peter.
Pirates of the Carribean was better than I feared. Much better than the 2nd one, but obviously not as good as the first one. The action-packed climax was the wonderful payoff I was waiting the entire movie to see. How could you be bored when an increasingly insane jack Sparrow swashbuckled against Davy Jones on the rigging over possession of Davy Jones' still-beating heart, while undead fishmen battled both the Colonials AND the pirate crew of the Black Pearl, which is intertwined with the Flying Dutchman over a giant GAPING MAELSTROM summoned by a PISSED OFF GODDESS, while Captain Barbosa marries the King of Pirates to Will Turner, future captain of the Dutchman, in the midst of battle? HOW?
In WoW news, Keeneye reached level 59 after only 3 years! The hard work pays off! Woot!
I've almost finished reading EVERY SINGLE DISCWORLD BOOK EVER. 1 more to go. Interesting Times, you're the last. I WILL READ YOU!
Parents came up yesterday. We went to a diner in Quiche, which was mostly notable because of a wonderful Cinnamon shake. The food was enh, unfortunately.
I'm moving to Maryland soon. OHGODI'MSCARED!
Who likes my new icon? Whee!
