...Oh, I missed the roundup. Well, I was busy celebrating something (as most of the world knows by now), so much apologies all around. I'll be back in the saddle tomorrow.
WritingAugh, procrastinating forever.
WorkTutoring's been getting off to a pretty slow start this semester, but I'm hoping I'll see some more students after the English professors hand back their first revision notes. The quest for steadier work continues.
WatchingAll right. Netflix is getting canceled again till my income's better. I'm asking for last-minute
movie recommendations as I try to empty my queue and start the long detox process.
On the new media front, I've ended up exhausting Rooster Teeth's
non-RvB series and have discovered that their
RT Shorts are nerdy, film student
love. When the biggest laugh they get from me is from an incredibly punchy rack focus, it's easy to see what kind of hopeless case UCLA turned me into.
ReadingIn search of feminine female characters I remember enjoying, I found my way back to
Neverwhere. I reached the description of Door's
'fire opal' eyes, stopped, and closed the book again. Sorry, Neil. We both know you've grown since then.
So I'm back to having no clue, honestly. This despite volunteering at Hathor, I know. It's not so much that I don't think they exist or that I can't point to any I know by reputation, I just can't remember having
read and discovered any for myself. They just don't tend to crop up in the sort of fiction I read, which is probably just a sore consequence of reading too little, I know. Time to start picking up the slack on those resolutions (although I'm pleased to report that I'm up to 60 units on Folding@home).
PlayingFinished FFXII, just in time to hand the copy back to the person who loaned it to me on his birthday. Here, buddy! Remember when you lent this to me, oh, three years ago? Or was it four? Jesus Christ, I'm slow with this game.
( some notes upon, to avoid being a downer. )I do find myself in possession of a copy of
Heavy Rain, but I'm putting off playing it till I can manage to reset the palette a little. Which... might be an understatement. Next on the list is
Assassin's Creed (yes, I know, shame on me) and then
Dirge of Cerberus, because somewhere in there I'm hoping the extremes will cancel out and I'll go into
Heavy Rain as clean and impressionable as the virgin snow.
