So, I'm listening to Riverdance right now. Celtic fiddles, mournful as ravens, but preparing to break into a tone of hope, as the titular sun rises, and from hope into the swift-running, playful tempo of life, and have I mentioned how much I am in love with Celtic* music, as well as anything which doesn't have lyrics to distract it from rhythmic ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned, I've been playing Kingdom Hearts, a game whose charms (well, some of them) comes from the cast list. There's a few wholly original characters (Sorta, the protagonist, and his missing friends Riku and Kairi), and a collection of supporting figures from divers Final Fantasys (games which I now feel like I ought to play at some ( Read more... )

I've been fighting a long war this week with my left shift key. When I'm bored with homework, I tend to pop out the keys that have the most hair and dust under them and clean them up (maybe you do the same; I don't know if you do the same), and somehow the one shift key refuses to stay in and function like a normal key.

This is especially annoying ( Read more... )

It is almost impossible for me to believe that a week ago, I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Especially given I was here a week ago, and wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Or at least, that's how I remember it, although it might have been colder than I recall it being. My point is: it is freezing right now. We have a fire going; that's how cold it is ( Read more... )

Finally did two things tonight that I've been meaning to do.

First of all, I broke out Pit. Not a mistake. Pit=fun fantastic, especially for the full eight people, as I'm sure some comments will attest to

Secondly: I wrote four hundred words of my fucking novel today. You can look at it as a defeat, or a start. I say it's a start. With luck, it shall ( Read more... )

According to one of the NPCs, Gorian, my foster father, would be proud of my actions ( Read more... )

24 says that it's in real time, but you know what? They're really playing fast and loose with the idea. For instance, Jack Bauer et al somehow moved from an airport hanger to CTU in two minutes, a fact obscured by the week in between 21:00:00 and 21:00:01. Also, Jack Bauer is probably the most personally terrifying human being in history, because ( Read more... )

So, I just won my first game of Risk.

That is, the first game that I've been in that has ever finished, not the first game I've played, on the one hand, or the first game I've won, on the other. I didn't actually win, but spiritmage788, the only guy left in the game, decided to throw in the towel after I got fifty guys from killing the third remaining player ( Read more... )

I keep starting to make a post, and then don't. I blame the same Internet that allows me to use the livejoruanl in the first place, as without it I would have finished the reading of "The Knight's Tale" like four hours ago, and so would be free to talk at my leisure.

Stupid Internet, reminding me that Once Upon a Forest exists and making me look ( Read more... )
