Hmm
So everyone's back in town now, and we had a mass outing to Underworld last night. Impressions are as follows:
1. White Wolf is correct to sue, although they certainly don't have a perfect case.
2. Action scenes kicked almighty ass.
3. Far too much melodrama.
It was an entertaining experience and I enjoyed it--but every time there was supposed to be a BIG DRAMATIC MOMENT, the entire theatre (NOT just me and my jaded geek friends) cracked up. Still, it was the entertaining kinda lame, and generally fun. Yay for vampire badasses.
In other news, I am going to write a new story/novel, which will probably turn out shit but which I have interesting ideas for. At least, I think they're interesting.
Since the crew has been here, we also all went to see Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Johnny Depp is a fucking badass. Good movie, if a touch on the gory side (be prepared to cover your eyes if you liketh not the blood and guts!) Some great lines in that film.
Everybody's back now, and I am quite content. Classes start Wednesday. Met my Chaucer prof today, she seems quite nice. Dana's probably joining Islamic/Middle Eastern Civ with Eben, Sam, and I, so that'll be great. Blue promised to drop a good word for me with the Japanese prof, so hopefully I'll get into THAT class. Books for this quarter totalled $418--most of which was probably for the fucking 7 books I had to buy for Japanese--thank God my dad pays for that!
Printed out the WoD master list and checked off the stuff I own....If nothing else I want to complete my collection of Demon stuff, and I want the Verbena and Order of Hermes tradbooks for Mage. The rest of it will just have to be picked up piecemeal--I can hold off on the DA:V, DA:M and VA:V stuff for a while because that stuff isn't ending, so yay. Meanwhile I'll chase down Clanbook Ventrue and Clanbook Malkavian--really the only other Vampire books I want--and then devote myself to my beloved Mage. Speaking of Mage, I must get cracking on planning my M:SC chronicle--I have setting and probably a villain and a few NPCs, but I need more detail. Mostly I need people's characters so I can figure out how I'm gonna fuck with them. Joy and good times!
*sigh* I'm kinda lonely and depressed and pissy right now. Poor Dana's had to deal with me being psycho all week. :( Not the best way to start off a roommate relationship! Ah well. Classes start soon and so help me Goddess, I WILL find someone.
Brighid, Aphrodite, and Freyja, if you wouldn't mind sending me the right person--express mail preferred, costs to be paid by recipient--that would be most lovely :)
I really have lost it, haven't I?
Time to go read more of The Subtle Knife and sleep. Office Max run with Dana tomorrow to get his desk replaced, then hopefully SPAC with BlueGuy. I'm going to try and work out more, eat more healthily, take my vitamins, drink more water, etc. I expect this resolution will last all of....oh...two days.
