I needed a little more leveling than I thought, but I beat Final Fantasy XII this morning. As with all Final Fantasies, I need another playthrough to fully appreciate it, but XII is tentatively my favorite in the series. I love pretty much everything about it: the fleshed out and memorable characters, the epic music and story, the immersive, imaginative worlds, the fact that they didn't shoehorn in...
I need warnings before I watch something that depressing. My god. They blew up Myfanwy, didn't they? And I got sadder. Here's an, apparently, dick interview by RTD. I dodn't feel like reading it right now, or maybe ever, but on Metaquotes here this part was quotes in the comments. Question: One of my readers wondered if you were under pressure to de-gay Torchwood and that's why you killed...
Miss Fiona is ordinarily the sunniest of teenagers, surprisingly free of angst and woe. Today, however, was not an ordinary day. She came home uncharacteristically out of sorts from working at the library. I asked whether she planned on going to karate tonight, but she informed me, no, tonight was the library book club, which she has been going to and enjoying for months. I asked what time I was supposed...
yet more on the subject of women are not objects and men need to learn to fucking control themselves . (I totally mean tto reply to those comments, but the whole lack of internet at home/shit ton of homework thing...) --- I am officially signed up for my classes next fall. I'm gonna be BUSY. But what else is new? Trying to get a before/after school job, cause that's apparently the only thing I'll...
I'm in the thankless pits of replying to the twits on the NYTimes. One sensitive guy left this comment: "All the sensitivity training in the world is not going to help the kid who shows up to a second grade soccer game with two same sex parents from getting some heat. Kids aren't stupid... It's just not normal." Isn't he sweet ? And caring ? So I'm dying dying DYING to post that link that was...
Seeing this metaquote made me want to have kids: Robbie, only 3-years old, says to his mother katrinb last week: "Why did you give me a Wall-E bowl and a Spiderman plate when they're in different universes?" Ah, that takes me back. I had Spider-Man wallpaper and Superman sheets growing up. Somehow I instinctively knew this was wrong, but I liked them anyway.
After working at the same place (an awesome, family-owned educational toy store) for over 3.5 years, I finally attended my first 'staff meeting,' which was basically just 'listen to my boss swear and eat lots of pizza.' AWESOME. I love my job, and my bosses (XD), and the people I work with, and tonight was a really great opportunity to see people who always work at the other stores and trade stories...
