Things preventing me from taking the time to do other things. Story of our lives, I know it. Will get back to responses when I'm not constantly listening for/checking in on/answering questions about/trying to pay attention to everything.
In News Some Will Enjoy, I've taken to patrolling the downstairs with a wakizashi at night before I go to bed. Useful little thing. I feel a little bad for the neighbors that may see me wandering the garage at 2-3:00 AM in pajamas and a wakizashi slung over one shoulder, but not enough to count. Why wait to make sure the locks work, you know?
Yes, a new Devil May Look on in Horror... a while ago, but I'm mentioning it here now. Don't worry if you don't know what that is. Just be glad that voice actors are kind of terrified of me now. (Poison would not be who you're thinking, I promise.)
It was about the point when I'd moved Poison under the lamp and taken to removing a tiny little fleck of black something or other on hir "shirt" with the very tip of a needle that I realized, "Oh god, I'm one of those people." For Poison, anyway. Then again, the rest of my figures are very masculine and rugged. *grin* ...Okay, so I'll be the same way when I manage to snag a real Sebastian, but that's to be expected.
I finally saw Terminator: Salvation! As I was saying after I'd seen it, I can only describe it as, "my inner fanboy squeed and I was only partially horrified". If you've seen it and know what a huge T2 fan I am, you will know the scene that pretty much made the movie for me. I was laughing so hard and yet it felt so right. I mean, I see why people didn't like it. Easily. I just loved the fuck out of it for all the "wrong" reasons. It's not T2. It's nowhere near T2. But it was enjoyable. And of course there were some fan nods that caught my interest, but... damn. That little "oh no they di--holy shit that's horrible-awesome! near the end was fucking great. Because I am a sucker for things like that. And cyborgs and androids and shiny things but nevermind.
I actually managed to play some games, too! DMC4 had me yelling at Nero with a little more fervor than usual (and I do love yelling at the boy), so I opened up the game drawer to find Ehrgeiz staring up at me. How could I say no? On second shot I probably should have because shit I'm rusty. And forgot that I had to manually load my data and so started out with none of the unlocked characters and was set to yell again but yay memory kicking in. Ahem. Look, I know Zack fights exactly like Cloud, but I want Zack to start. Particularly because I'd pretty much forgotten everything. But that's the great thing about fighters of this era--dead easy to pick up again. Would have gone after Soul Blade again if I'd had time. There's always time. Voldo needs some "love".
I suppose I should just give in and sell a few games that are absolutely not gelling with me at all. Some games just take time. Some games and I are never going to get along. It's still kinda sad, but I'd rather they be enjoyed by someone than sitting in a drawer. Will get that going... um... sometime.
Body has been a wreck. No doubt it's from everything blooming again and the dust from downstairs whenever I go down to check things out, but it's really sort of interfering with things now. Bleh. 10 whole minutes of sunlight yesterday pretty much assured chest pains all evening. Oh joy. If I have to be a vampire, can I at least get a hot victim? ...Ahem.
And with all this stuff going on, my former mother-in-law has left for a while to... well, there's no better way to put it; to be with her mother as she dies. I sort of have to feel bad for the woman. First her husband (not that the jackass and I got along, but the fact remains he was her husband), then a favorite uncle of hers, now her mother. I can relate to her wanting to be there, but man, three in less than two years seems a little much. It'll be nice for her to come home to the renovation almost being complete... assuming she does get home soon.
And... I am working on chocobos between other things and hoping very much I can get into the Artists Alley for Anime Boston again. Can I avoid the Dealer's Room for three years in a row? LET'S SEE! (Yes, there will probably be a Swarovski-covered one this year. Because it's not enough work until it's way too much work.) I am also totally reformatting DarkHorse Vendetta so I can get that up on Lulu. It's just... taking a while.
...Yes I will go to bed soon.
