So it snowed a lot in Chicago the past couple of days. Not nearly enough for me to stay home from work, naturally, but enough to have to get up an hour early yesterday to shovel, and to have to do the same tonight when I got home. ._. come on, weather, it's March, could we not? (Also, it seems unusually cruel to throw a "get up early and shovel ( Read more... )

I have a hard time walking away from media of any kind. I can only think of two books in the last six years that I've actively abandoned, vs. put down and picked up later because the moment wasn't right for them then. I don't like to mark games as "never going to finish" on Backloggery; I don't like to walk away from TV shows I've enjoyed ( Read more... )

Hmm, where did we last leave off?  Ah yes.  So Thursday night I drove up to see unclehyena and, as greyfeld was in town, that was just a lovely bonus.  There was much in the way of conversation, and it was very very fun.

Friday morning I woke up dizzy, nauseous, and headachey, so I called out of work.  I dropped sabrielrose at the L stop and when I came back, realized that my ( Read more... )

So I joined a couple fanfic communities the other day, and I'm now finding myself inspired to work on a metric tonne of writing, mostly fanfic but a little bit of inspiration for Wyrdborn.

The end of last week didn't have much going for it except a whole bunch of extra projects at work (just when the phones were finally slowing down), so that was pretty lame. Friday night was a Star Wars oneshot run by teki, in which I played a Wookie soldier. Me killed stuffs good. Except I didn't get to kill much. That's ok. I did (by sheer force ( Read more... )

So, apparently I need to stop reading Abyssal source material, as I have now had two dreams in three days about Exalted. Monday morning as I was in that fun half-hour between 6:00 and 6:30, when my alarm has gone off a few times but I keep slapping "snooze" and curling back up in bed, I definitely dreamt I was Joscelaine, and was surrounded by ( Read more... )

me, to Melzer: Yeah, reading the Book of Bone and Ebony is giving me so much plot. Not even I-kill-you plot. More like "Fuck with your head" plot or Thwacky Plot Stick of Beating Doom + 5.

So I was playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time today because I got inspired at work while talking about ancient 8-bit goodness with evillotto. I never realized ( Read more... )

pooka_madness spent most of the day up here. He played Wind Waker for a good long while. Both he and Dana have played my copy of this game. From observing the two of them I have come to the very definite determination that I never want to play it. Once they're done, I'm selling it back. I would just break something in pure frustration at the stupid ( Read more... )
