Currents of Time

I am going to assume you will see this at some point before the end of the month or whenever it is you are supposed to be getting back!

I got the box you sent! It is gorgeous and I love it! Thank you so much!


And for the rest of you, this is an awesome site full of pretty journals. IT IS WHERE MY NEW ONE CAME FROM. (Did I mention it is gorgeous and I love it?)


Edit:
Figure previews have started. I still don't know if I like it or not, but that Prime does look pretty neat. Literally "Shattered Glass" going on, there.

Amusement has followed me today. First, my brother introduced me to this song. I do not play Half-Life, or really any games of that type, and as such generally do not listen to their music much! This song (from Portal), however, is ridiculous and reduced me to hysterics on initial listening. Lyrics include this:

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!

HILARITY. Hear and watch it here.

I will play this game.


Second. Today's (well, technically yesterday's, now) addition of The Insecticomics. All so sadly, sadly and painfully true, but funny in there.

That comic led to an extended discussion between Aniko and I about Dinobot, wherein we pretended to be serious but were actually laughing so hard we were having troubles breathing. Good thing that doesn't convey over text unless you say as much. I am resisting the urge to copy some of that conversation down here.


Those are not the most important thing, though. The most important thing is that a picture of the new Dancer job's AF (special armor that can only be worn by people playing that job class with nice stat bonuses and the like. It looks neat, or at least tries to) on a male character turned up (we've only seen it on females so far). Now, the armor design is generally about the same, just minor tweaking here and there, but, uh. This is Dancer. The outfit (their AF!) is silly.

( Image! )

It is unusual for them to put someone in Not Windurst. I'm not complaining - I like San d'Oria (or, er, at least I like the Western entrance to South San d'Oria, since that's outisde town but whatever) better than Bastok (as perhaps evidenced by all three of my characters being from San d'Oria).

Anyway, that image is glorious and hilarious. Hey, internet! What I would love to do is visit the Alla forums and see what other people are saying about it! How about you let me? Hee, he has a little flower on his headband.


And they changed work hours so we close at 7 again. All in all, not a bad day! Which is amazing, considering we just entered Daylight Savings and I hate that.

The gaming lounge downtown closed! SORROW! More sorrow from downtown, but significantly less so, the Oasis Diner is changing hands. Didn't go there much at all, anyway, but it's still too bad. They're going to completely change it.

Unrelated, my wrist decided it hasn't proven how much it hates me in a while, so now I am stuck in the giant brace-of-no-articulation until the pain (which prompts an odd desire to cut my arm off) passes. (It's really not that huge, but I hate wearing the thing.) I HAVE NO WRIST ON MY RIGHT ARM. It is driving me insane. FLEX, you useless joint! *waggles fingers in futility* Neck is acting up, too, though that's an easy fix (but hearing and feeling my neck crack-pop in like ten places is never not going to be a bit worrying). At least my knees are behaving.

Also unrelated, obtained deluxe Movie Arcee! I'm not sure if they restock Sundays or Mondays, but by the time I have been getting there on Wednesdays, they only have, like... Payload or Dreadwing or somesuch other character that I do not want. She has a functioning kickstand! It is awesome or possibly I am just entirely too easily entertained. (Now if only Concept Camaro Bumblebee would just stop being sold out everywhere...)

Plus, new Heroes. (Yeah, yeah, that started last week. Shush.) (Also, there is no way this 'no longer entirely subtextual' subtext is unintentional.) (ALSO, Claire, ew, and didn't that hurt? JEEZ.)


...Finally, Mom made pumpkin cheesecake. Life is good.
