This has been a good day already, and it's scarcely mid-morning. I did 20 pages of editing very early, and I'm now about a half-a-week ahead of where I need to be in school. I'm reading goood books, getting plenty of hours at work (but not too many), and gradually getting my space in order again ( Read more... )

life, academia, writing, video games

This is really the first time in my entire academic career :/

It's just because I only have one class, and it's an easy one.

Believe it or not, the cheapest solution is usually a TV tuner for the PC. You can get RCA -> VGA converter boxes, but as they contain a lot of circuitry they get kind of expensive. If you have a TFT monitor with built-in TV tuner, you should just be able to plug and go. Tuner cards are about $60USD on the low end -- you get Engrish instructions, but they work fine. Cat has a laptop and therefore has a USB TV tuner box instead, which I think bumped it up to maybe $80USD ( ... )

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts and slashy.

Yes. It is absolutely just like that, except for the part about the flashing. The ending is even slashier. Honestly, we don't even have to try anymore. ^_^

We were trying? I thought Squaresoft was just providing ^_^

Glad your writing's going well. ^_^

What's The Brothers Menaechmus about?

felis_ultharus September 19 2006, 22:48:36 UTC

Ancient Roman farce involving mistaken identity. Two long-lost identical twins brothers with the same name wind up in the same Greek city. When the twin from Syracuse winds up in the Greek city, he pretends to be his brother for free meals and free stuff.

Wackiness -- as it tends to do -- ensues.

(What else does wackiness ever do?)

Basically, it reads like a 1980s sitcom plot, except for the open discussion of bisexuality (it sounds like most of the characters swing both ways).
