Thesis Update: Well, the bibliography/other revisions are 99.9% done! Which probably means there is a whole new host of problems awaiting correction, but that will have to wait because I do, in fact, need to redo every single line number reference in the apparatus and main thesis. :D *INTERNAL SCREAMING* BUT IT CAN WAIT BECAUSE I NEED MY ( Read more... )

I'M ALIIIIIIIIIVE. Just - yeah, got a lot of thesis stuff going on. And fitting Destiny and Marathon stuff around the thesis stuff. I am officially supposed to submit this beast at the end of September, so there's a lot of work to be done pretty quickly... *sobs ( Read more... )

Ahhhhhh, who remembers the Destiny of last summer, full of prowling Wolves and ruled by the mighty Gjallarhorn? I REMEMBER. I especially remember my desperate scrambles hunting for golden chests and dead Ghosts to get my grimoire score up, to say nothing of my awkward first raid attempts and five harrowing hours of facing level 35 Prison of ( Read more... )

So, we got three new goats yesterday! They're Earless La Manchas and have also been dehorned (regrettably), so they're a bit funny-looking and we hope that they'll be able to hold their own against the current horned tyrants we have, but also beautiful and quite friendly to people. And they stick together very closely - so closely, in fact, that ( Read more... )

I HAVE CONQUERED HARD MODE KING'S FALL. On my Hunter, no less! ... now I never want to do it again. XD But I got SWEET LOOTS and will probably do it again on my Titan, at least (SOMEONE has to get the goddamn raid helmet, normal or Harrowed, so I can get those last two shaders).

Also Lord Saladin is my new fancast for Mark Adichie, whoops. ( ( Read more... )

The weather here at the beach has been mostly on the cloudy and muggy side, so not very good for swimming (though better than the storms we were expecting from the news), but yesterday was sunny and the water was so gentle it was practically a lake. Cold, so it was hard to stay out in it long, but SO GENTLE. In the afternoon I could see the ( Read more... )

Still aten't dead, just flailing ineffectively at both thesis and Iron Banner. (God, what is it about this round of Iron Banner? It's not entirely me because I was doing fine in PvE, but I swear I had more fun with Iron Banner Rift, and that was fucking RIFT. I just want a damn wolf's-head cloak for my hunter that I don't have to infuse up from ( Read more... )

Just sort of struck by Destiny raiding fever, Destiny update fever (SHINY NEW PRISON OF ELDERS MODES FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL REWARDS), and "I want to throw my entire thesis into a well or a nice big bonfire" fever.

... I don't really want to talk about the thesis stuff, so let's keep on being an ALL DESTINY ALL THE TIME journal, why not.

( Post-raid and post-update rambling. )

After a punishing first attempt at hard mode King's Fall last night (we killed - Golgoroth, and no one else), I dreamed right before waking up this morning about another attempt on the Deathsinger sisters. The runner managed to grab the relic, but couldn't land on either of the sisters' platforms and ran away; first one sister, then the other ( Read more... )
