I decided against it, but I did debate it. I am told that I am partly of Irish origin. Generally it is obvious that I am of disturbingly pale European descent. I was never someone who had a bit of interest in ancestry seeing as how I put very little stock in the meaning of blood relations, though coming from cowboys, horse thieves and one rumored double agent amuses me greatly.
Body raging. Must focus on the positives. I like it when my friends make happy posts when I feel like shit, so I try to do the same. Even if I still feel like shit. *snort* Today my wrist, hand, and whole right arm announced to me "You will definitely not be working today!" I am displeased. But I've been managing to pick at writinginstead of catching up on comments, like I ought to do. The next chapter of "Broken Soldier" is now 4 pages long and has decided to go a direction entirely different from what I had expected. *rubs temples* My characters do not follow plans. They do this on purpose. "Know how to get there but not where I'm going" has been replaced with "have a vague idea of where it might end up and no fucking clue what's happening next". That's not... bad, per se. I'm just going to try to make sure this one doesn't take another nine years. There is also a second part of a certain "serious" fic that is now at 5,237 words and still has yet to all be linked together in some kind of coherent narrative. And this was after I'd already split it in two, so... the hell. I did not expect all of this talky-talky and emotion and relationship stuff. They're all against me, I tell you.
Oh yeah, my little not-review for the Tron: Legacy diecast vehicles. (My mother's comment: "I'm not sure you got enough of them though, ha." This is the woman who told me that she almost opened my Destron Black Convoy to play with it before giving it to me.) I was actually pondering earlier just covering one in gold paint and putting it on a really thick gold chain for humor's sake, but a sidecar is funnier. ...And much more difficult to pull off, which is naturally why I must do it.
Apparently the Barbie Dream House will be here on Tuesday. I need to try and keep myself away from it until after the convention. I'll be taking a whole week off so there will be plenty of time to indulge and move DMLoiH in the direction I'd initially intended. (...Yes, there was plot. Kind of.)I think I'll also open up another drabble request post while I'm at Anime Boston ala the trick-or-treat one (request + random music = whatever happens, happens), because hell, I'll have a week off and I can't spend it all gaming and sleeping and playing with toys. In theory.
Antihistamines seem to drop my body temperature. This is unsettling. ...Just saying.
So let's focus on a few links. I keep forgetting to drop a link to part 4 of Modern War Gear Solid. Otacon. Just... Otacon. So in-character that it burns.
Watching All of Your History's id Retrospective makes me feel sooo old. *grin* Damn I loved Commander Keen. Had to go back and watch their Apogee/3D Realms videos too. And feel older. I'd love to see it done over now that Duke Nukem Forever is actually (probably, as far as we know) going to be released.
You want to know how Tron 3 could be "improved" over Tron: Legacy? By not letting anyone who is actually involved in making the movies read articles on the internet about how their next movie can be improved. *cough* (Though I am always up for more on-screen Quorra, and the soundtrack has played a part in getting me through the most annoying parts of work lately.) I know it's a business, I know. I'd like to ignore that. My feeling on this subject is the same as my feeling on people who whine about video game genres that "need to change": if you don't like it, go someone else. Leave the rest of us, and what we love, the fuck alone. Or, failing that, pretend it doesn't exist. Like so many things that were just shared hallucinations. But then I speak from the perspective of someone unashamed to be a fan, to be devoted to something that's touched them greatly and become massive inspiration, no matter how silly it may seem to "the outside world". My pantheon of gods, you know.
And now I grab a snack, take care of the puppy, and see if I can't prod characters into action enough so that I can run along behind them and write at a maddening pace in order to keep up. Sometimes it works.
