I'll Laugh My Whole Way Through the Hurricanes and Fire

Someone just asked me if Daniel Radcliffe is circumcised or not.

My immediate reaction was that they were doing research for RPF.

*eyes flist*

Bah, my stomach trouble seems to be back. It's been pretty good for the last month or so - a few upsets after dinner, but nothing monumental. But this morning I woke up feeling nauseas and spent a good ten minutes dry heaving. It passed, like it always does, but it's a pain in the ass.

And my legs are still being utter bastards. I indulged in fantasies of amputating them at the knee last night.

Anyway, enough about my crappy health!

I beat 0rigins yesterday! I honestly didn't think I was going to do it - not with half life, hardly any ammo and only one healing item. But somehow, Travis pulled through, as he always had before! I think there's something a little bit wrong when the boss battles are easier than the normal monsters running around on the street. The boss battles in 0rigins, while interesting (especially the Sanitarium boss and the Motel boss) weren't exactly...difficult or frightening. I didn't have any moments of 'ohshitohshit' or anything like that. In fact, the first motel battle ended up being a little bit laughable, as apparently someone doesn't know how to go around corners and spent most of the battle attempting to walk through a table.

But in all honesty, that is my single complaint about the game.

I don't understand the hate-on I've seen for 0rigins. I really don't. The design was beautiful, we had some neat new monsters, the plot was solid (if a little predictable for a SH game) the characters were good, the puzzles were good, the atmosphere was beautifully Silent Hill, and I know I'm not an expert when it comes to that particular storyline, but it didn't look like canon was buggered at all by the game. And I liked Travis. I still maintain he's the world's most backwards smoker - generally, smokers smoke when upset, stressed, angry or unhappy - but it was amusing nonetheless. I'm tempted to try some fic for it, but I have no idea what.

ChaCha is going well! I've got around 70$, which to me is a hell of a lot of money. And I'm terribly tempted to ChaCha my ass off until I can afford an Xbox.

In an effort to not feel like a total slug, I did myself up in Aristocrat today. I was going to do Lolita, but it's a tad cold for a knee skirt, even with socks. So I'm swathed comfortably in my long black ruffled skirt. I think I'll do some more decorating today.

Oh! summoneddestiny! Did you say you have a fax machine? I need to fax in my ID for my bank stuff.

I think I'll start my Oktoberfest fic today....

I missed an update yesterday!

Not that there's terribly much news to report at this point. The handyman is here, repairing our screens and whatnots. He's a nice guy - we chatted a little while I had my morning cigarette and he took a smoke break - but I'm afraid I was a bit fuzzy and groggy. Even with my morning shower. I just can't seem to wake up these days, not properly and in a timely fashion. At least I don't need to be at the top of my game to look things up for people.

Yesterday I mostly just RPed and answered the world's stupidest questions.

damned is going well, as usual. Nothing new in CU. Over in Rewritten, Myre and Keman are having an epic fight, and poor Shadow's stuck in the middle wondering wtf just happened. Valyn's trying to get Triana outside before she causes a scene, and completely not noticing that his fiance is essentially being hit on by his newest ally. And Rena's just wide eyed and confused.

Today I have more house things to do, plus laundry, and I believe we're going to the pet store down the street. Zorak is made of win, but he is not cuddly.

Am I the only person who actually really, really liked the Heroes premiere and is eagerly awaiting where this is going? I keep seeing disappointment and frustration and the like on my Flist, and I hope that at least someone out there enjoyed it as much as I did.

The living room gets geekier by the day. I love it.

Stupid questions from yesterday:

'WUT VAGINA? IS VAGINA GROSS?' (A nice change of pace from penis questions, I tell you what.)

'What is the legal, correct way to hang a picture?' (The government doesn't care, as long as you're not trying to hang it on the president's forehead.)

'Do you swallow cum?' (I sadly couldn't think of a good way to make a play on Latin in response to this.)

And I had one guy who could not grasp the idea that in order to get an airline ticket quote, we needed a time and date of departure and arrival, not just what airports he was flying in and out of. How difficult a concept is this to grasp?
