-yeah, we finally wrote more to the Lost, if you haven't already seen the 500 posts on LJ today. I'm not apologizing because this shit is awesome, and I am very proud and excited, and I mean come on the website layout is bad-fucking-ass so I'm showing this off. :)

- I am currently (if slowly) defeating a massive group project, due tomorrow in both presentation and report form. Please note the use of the singular pronoun there: yes, it is a group project, but I'm sitting on most of the work myself right now (as always) (as expected)
- Am not thinking about finals, which are next week. This project has been enough work. Will freak out on Tuesday, after presentation!
- I am really ready to be done with this semester.
- Current obsession: Pandora radio. I have the app on my Blackberry now and it's addicting: I can listen in the car. I've created a ton of channels so far and am switching through them like ADD. Seriously addicting. There is nothing like writing a paper on fuel cell polymer membranes while grooving to dance music.
- Attempting white chili! :)
- Am going to have to haul ass to catch up on word count for
getyourwordsout. - Am really looking forward to FFIV: The After Years (!!!!!!!!!) (shut up guys)
- Am really ready to be done with this semester.
- Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving! Mine was quiet and nice. And brought pie. The long weekend involved a little more work (housework and schoolwork) than I might have liked.
- Am slowly realizing that I need to start taking my own advice. When I tell people "Enjoy having the break!" or "Slow down!" or "You don't have to be working!" I think I am talking to myself. I need a break?
- Does anyone else feel like November just flew by??
- ...back to this stupid project. XD

Which is not to say that I can't show you a few other things from my recent trip.
Jerusalem in Morocco, f'rinstance.
Here are some shots of the huge city walls and siege machinery that Ridley Scott built for KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, outside the city of Ouarzazate in Morocco. We did shoot some scenes here... but inside, in a court redressed for our purposes.
That's my assistant Ty perched on the battering ram, which was full sized, made of real wood, and appeared to be fully functional. Ditto the siege towers and trebuchets Ridley left.
The interior courtyards were equally impressive (alas, I can't show you the one we redressed and actually used).
I worked in Hollywood for a decade back in my checkered past, and these are the most impressive sets I've ever seen. Hell, Scott's fake castle beats about eighty per cent of the real castles I've seen, and I've visited a LOT of castles.
I'm obviously going to have to put a city under siege sometime soon, so we can go back to Morocco and play with all these cool toys one of these days.
(I'm wrestling with the last few problem scenes and trying to go back and polish the finished ones while I rack my brain for something interesting. It's running long--well, by "long" I mean "the standard 5000 words that most of the older ones are," but Twilight has kind of taken the place of the Harry Potter fandom in terms of OMG YOU LEFT OUT MY FAVORITE PARRRRRRT complaints. Within the stuff I felt compelled to include, I'm trying to tighten as much as possible. Also, the coding on this one has been a bitch because I tried to get fancy with a text effect. Fnarr.)
(Zomg e-book! The Annotated Movies in Fifteen Minutes: Wizards!)
Jake Delhomme threw more interceptions than Mark Sanchez today, so the Jets beat the Panthers and still have a pulse. A very faint one, to be sure, but still a pulse.
Revis was amazing, completely shutting down Steve Smith.
Obviously my teams can only play well when I am here watching. I can never leave home again.
Word of warning - it gets pretty loud around halfway through.
Maybe now my mind will allow me to concentrate on new episodes?

Okay. So I'm not particularly a Kain/Cecil person. I'm not opposed, I'm just not as excited by it as I am by Edge/Rydia or Kain->Rosa, or Kain/Valvalicia.
I really loved this fic. It was actually a little bit disconcerting, because it felt a lot like reading something I had written. There's a really good understanding of the things that drive Kain to do what he does, and the story flows beautifully. I love the characters' voices, and one of the things that particularly stood out to me was the contradictory nature of Kain's feelings toward Golbez.
In a word, hello shiny.
BOOYA.
Let's review:
--Started 3 days late due to flu of death
--Finished 2 days early
--Actually don't hate this novel
--Am probably within 7K words of the actual end of the story
--Realized what the sequel is a week ago
--In love with my characters and willing to watch them snark forever
Overall? I think I did good.
Net result: I am about 4K behind on
Not bad, self.
Now, BED.

Personally, the only problem I see with the "which persona would you summon?" theme is that it'll take ages to get stamped, much like the "persona mirror" theme, because there are 249190238 persona. Don't let that stop you from voting though! XD
For those of you that may want to suggest a theme with the P3P characters, I think it'd be best if we wait until it gets released outside of Japan, since I'm sure there are quite a few people who don't really know the new P3P chars because they don't want to spoil it. (Even though there are only a handful.) If you guys really want such a theme go ahead and suggest it though. (: I just wanted to point that out;;
Also, even if we do have a majority number of votes... The new theme will NOT be unveiled until all unstamped applications have been stamped. With that said, please go vote for them if you can. Here's a handy list of apps that still require stamping:
★ Regular ★
→ kooriblade
→ rental_daughter
★ Arcana ★
→ innoc3nt_sorrow
→ madblessyou
I know, I know... This is another deathly long mod-post. .-. But hey, at least we're getting closer to a new theme~! XD
( My thoughts. Spoilers? Of course. )
sleepyRecently (as in, like, 10 minutes ago) I discovered that there was an English version of the P3 artbook; I looked through the tags and someone posted some scans here. The writing isn't that great, but because I love reading commentary on things I was wondering if anyone had the whole NA book scanned? Usually, I would just buy it myself but I can't find it anywhere, aha.
Does anyone know if the Japanese artbook has ever been fan-translated? It looks like it has a lot more commentary, and the contents just seem all-around better than the NA book.
Um, since I'm asking this I might as well ask for P4 as well? I'm not even sure if they released an NA artbook of that, but hey -- it's worth a shot.
Thanks ahead of time. ♥

The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else
This was written with
.a clever disguise: breakfast.
( That damn white Knightmare had been agitating her so much she'd begun to get careless. Tearing out of the clubhouse in the morning before even having breakfast... What had she been thinking? )
A massive thank you and round of applause for iceprincessd and prettygothgirl, who between them provided me with the perfect information that got these icons up and running. You guys rule.
ALL Rippal fanart in these icons, are property of Lenne69000 and LilMissRikku, both members of Photobucket, and wonderful artisits. I'm not making any profit off their talents whatsoever, but thanks for letting me use your work.

...I blame
And by ever, I mean in the history of me having to work a Black Friday. It was... well, it was like a normal weekend sale day. Except at five in the morning. The parking lot was full, but there was a decided lack of people milling about looking for parking. When I went to my car at 1:30, there were open spots. That's just not right.
Going to Best Buy later on was just a nightmare, though. I think they tossed a bunch of boxes on the floor, put a sign on them, and convinced people IT'S A SAAAAAALE. idek, guys. If the line wasn't at least two hours I would have tried to stock up on some dvds, but instead I just used their bathroom and left. The internet, man. The internet is my friend!
So how did everyone else fare?
And hell, how has everyone been (lolinternetfailgoodonekat)? Crazy stories y'all!

And now, I'm going back to bed.
ETA: OH BY THE WAY we totally discuss the Twilight porno that Dayna watched for us.
ETA: Who has the "fever of a hundred and werewolf" thermometer icon, and who made it? Because I totally need to start using that.

Suddenly it seems a thousand years ago when the G-Men were 5-0 and dominating. What the hell happened? Clearly I can't leave the country during football season. My teams just seem to fall apart without me.
Evil Council 3!
I miss having time.
Daily Doodle: I wasn't expecting two serious drawings in a row. But I'm really pleased with this concept. Definitely needs some dark, moody colouring. I know there are some issues, but overall, for something done in one sitting, I am super pleased. Feedback super welcome!
