I have decided to raise this thing from the grave because I have succeeded in unscrambling my brain. Done with angst.
NERD NEWS:
I got FFXII last week, and I've only played for fours hours but I love this game already. NO RANDOM BATTLES OMG SO HAPPY. They even fixed two of my big pet peeves about FF games: the characters now pull their weapons from scabbards, slings, and holsters instead of thin air, and characters bleed and bruise when struck during cutscenes. The plot seems very promising so far. I like political intrigue far better than the crazy shite that passes for a story in the rest of the damn things I've played (Tidus is the dead dream of a what now? Kuja is an evil monkey clone? What the HELL actually happened in Nibelheim?). Also there are sexy bunnies in black vinyl and English pirates on flying motorcycles!
ART NEWS:
Children's book illustration has eaten up almost all of my pleasure drawing time. Will post soon.
REAL LIFE NEWS:
I've discovered I really don't care for thong underwear. And I need to buy people Christmas Non-denominational Winter Holiday presents!
