Sometimes, you just have to end the month with a little bit of craziness.

Poor Advice

Today's Thursday, and I'll be honest with you: I don't feel like typing anything up. That's mostly because I'm, uh... on a date right now.

Sokka made a very good recommendation for a place to go during our date.

I know, I know - some of you are asking, "What the frak are you doing typing up your blog entry while you're on a date?" My response: We're on vacation! We're at the library! (How romantic, right? *laughs*)

I see the stares. Now shaddap. It's awesome.

Wednesday Listing

Today promises to be interesting. There's a lot to do and so little time to write about it, so you'll just have to make do with this list of things I'm gonna be doing today.

• reading up on World of Warcraft's Patch 5.0.4 notes
• something involving grocery shopping
• running my laundry
• Valkyria Chronicles!
• writing
• work
• writing at work
• taking in the sun for a brief moment in time
• general mischievousness
• other things I forgot

Until the 'morrow!

Meet Allisenna Novelli

So while looking for something to do today, I decided to mindlessly play with my customized Lego stuff as I watched The IT Crowd. I had told my friends that I have yet to finish the series (I had stopped after the second season) and much to my chagrin, I found them chastising me for my failure to complete such a short show. I mean, four seasons consisting of six twenty-plus minute episodes each - how the frak could I not complete that in a day? So after re-watching the first two seasons, I began watching the third season and had a few laughs.

I think I have to put Richard Ayoade on my "Famous People I Want to DM (or at least Narrate) for Me" list now.

Then I got to the first episode of season four: "Jen the Fredo." Part of the plotline involved a tabletop roleplaying game hosted by Moss (played by Richard Ayoade, pictured above). Most of the other guys were completely skeptical (and almost antagonistic) when the session started. By game's end, however, they were so invested in what was going on that they were moved to tears.

While it was completely hilarious (I'm pretty sure my side was splitting by the episode's conclusion), it got me thinking about some things involving my future roleplaying prospects. I had to wonder what it was I was doing and why I wanted to do it. I questioned what it was I was trying to accomplish and how my actions would benefit me.

Mind you, I'm not questioning me and my desire to role-play. I'm questioning why I haven't come up with a character backstory for Erfrischen Allisenna yet. So, since I have time to kill between now and some plans for tonight, I figured: "Why not work on some roleplaying?"

Gearing Up

Monday is proving itself to be quite interesting right now. I don't quite know how to explain how I know this. I just do. Maybe I'll just scream and be psychotic at work (in a good way) to help time pass.

Perhaps you'll hear about it tomorrow. Perhaps you won't. Either way, expect a good entry on Tuesday. For now, you'll have to make do with a picture of Solid Snake Sparkle taking on Metal Flutter Gear RAY.

I have both fear and amazement running through my veins right now.

That's what happens when you make a crossover of two of my favorite franchises. Hehe.

So, until the 'morrow. *grabs a FIM-92 and prepares to fight*

Written Mission

You know what's fun? Suddenly deciding to work on a short story for no particular reason. I woke up late (again) and suddenly found the urge to compose something in written form.

It's been a while since I've done this, so I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty, but I'll do what I can to make it decent.

You won't see this today, but I'm sure it'll be complete by the time this week ends. I'll make sure you'll get the first scoop when it's up.

Now, away I go to write! *scribbles*

A Toast to Lives, Old and New

To say that today's entry was going to be a swirling vortex of heartfelt string-plucking and geeky ridiculousness is a complete understatement.

The storyboard says Starbuck flies into this maelstrom as the camera flies head-on into her Viper. That's what you'll be doing as well today - metaphorically speaking, at least.

To say that today's entry is going to be waxing pseudo-philosophy in regards to friendships and gaming... yeah, that sums it up quite nicely, I'd say. Don't take my word for it, though - read on and see for yourself.

No Later Time Than Now

Today's not one of those good days. I'll be frank about that.

Just Like Usual

I'll be honest: I'm far too busy to post anything decent here today. Or maybe I'm just lazy. I'll let you decide. For now, though... I got plans to take care of, so I'll be off doing those. Yay.

Curry Blues

The day started like any other day: me waking up wondering what I'd be doing, a few minutes of lying there in bed, some thoughts on what I did yesterday, a brief moment of lament for myself and my current status. This process normally takes anywhere from thirty seconds to ten minutes, but for some strange reason today it felt as if it was a half-hour. I could tell because that's how much time it took for my alarm clock to finally ring.

So after I smashed my alarm clock (greaaaaat; I gotta buy myself another) I asked myself what I had planned out for today, and this was the list that popped up:

• laundry
• work
• something involving buying bread, bologna, and toilet paper
• music
• sleep

Well, I certainly had my work cut out for me. So as I laid there telling myself to get up and start my day, the thought of breakfast drifted into my mind. It's something I haven't had in a while, and I was really craving something to eat. Plus, I know how important the first meal of the day is.

Curry. For breakfast. Mmm.

After all of that, I decided to get up and cook up some curry. It's not my ideal breakfast of choice, but the thought of eating some warm curry poured out over rice sounded really appealing to me at that precise moment. (Plus, I have no money, so cooking at home with stuff beats going out and spending much-needed moolah.)

The problem with making curry (or at least the curry I was preparing) was that I had to manually cook some rice, boil some water to warm up the curry packets, and then wait in the meantime for both to finish. So I sat at the kitchen alone and began to drum my fingers on the counter.

It was at this point that my laptop decided to casually play some music from a playlist I usually blare whenever I'm mindlessly working. It was nothing special - just tracks from video games that somehow got my adrenaline to rise back in the days where I rocked out homework. Now it was just mindless notes and bleh (not to say that the stuff itself is "mindless notes and bleh") as I sat there, waiting for my stuff to finish cooking.
