Well, I got to see the new Burn Notice season premiere (yay! BN!) whilst staying at Riley's, of all places. His mother absoluely adores me (how could she not? :D) and she is going to get me a ride to Graduation Rehearsal, which is very reassuring. As it was, the senior picnic started out very lovely, but eventually turned into a waterfight, which was rather stressful, as I was wearing a white shirt (the buggers finally got me with a whole bucket at the last second) and I had Torky with me -- By the last, I was getting over the water, and resigned myself to my fate, but only after hiding my precious dragon where he was far from harm's way. I was not going to have my poor baby destroyed by some immature little monsters whose idea of fun was splashing girls. Although the amount of times they got Arrington was insanely amusing. I also did a bit of 2 man joust with Riley, which was insanely amusing, although getting walloped upside the head did hurt a bit, even with a helmet.
The Pumpkin Queen finally caught me online today (*waves to Bre*) and it turns out she is publishing her latest NaNoWriMo with CreateSpace -- I looked it up a bit, and it appears to be very similar to Blurb, only decidedly more casual (one can only buy paperbacks) and all of the work is on the author's part (pdf files sent in, versus Blurb's own templates and such -- which, I found out, can be slightly edited! Although slightly is the operative word) but the book automatically goes on Amazon. Nice, but... Kind of also not. I know Robert Brown likes to growl about the evils of Amazon, as I've heard others, so I'm reluctant to do such. I am considering putting it on C4, but now I'm thinking I shan't. I like Blurb better. They seem to know what they're doing a bit more. And the templates are rather lovely, even if not exactly perfect, but I mustn't be too picky.
I was also having a bit of fun earlier this morning going through some piccies I'd acquired last night. As it was, I was trying to find a particular picture -- does anyone think they can help me? The picture I'm looking for is an animated picture of a wolf -- in particular, Moony, from Harry Potter -- from remus-lupin.net. It was back from when they had the simpler, purple setup, which they've since changed drastically, as usual. They can't ever keep things the same! And I even hate the ones they have up there now, which upsets me quite a bit.
Well, it's getting late, y'all. I'm going to turn in. Have fun with the getting up early in the morning thing -- I'm not going to have to do it for a while :D.
