mike_smith is reviewing JK Rowling's Goblet of Fire ! I've never read any of these books, but I could seriously roll in the glee that is the reviews. >.>

It's 8pm, and I just finished my work for the day, after starting at 8:30 this morning. >.> But I did have a twenty minute break mid-day to go to Fry's and look at computers (I'm now the proud owner of a factory refurbished Asus Eee, though I didn't buy it at Fry's -- I bought it seriously discounted on a website, and it won't be here for another week), and an hour or so break to go to the gym. YAY...

I should probably say something, just so no one thinks the moderator died. OK, so here's what I know. scans_daily got TOS'ed a couple days ago. This community, comics_scans , continues to exist, and as far as I know, Livejournal doesn't seem to have any problems with that. I imagine this has a lot to do with the fact that the comm's been dead for at least a year straight. Frankly...

You know what makes me feel better after I've been feeling totally cheery, only to have my mood dive bomb because I re-read my own post on a particular person I may or may not have posted about here (not Dark) and remembered other things about that person I was annoyed with? (Yeah, self-sabotage FTW! This is why I've gotten nothing done today. >.>) What makes me feel better is, much like my mom watching...

With this post begins a series I hope I actually have the stamina to finish - a recap of one of my favourite videogames, Final Fantasy X. It is - and will continue to be - spoiler laden. Expect it. Deal with it. If you want to play it one day, and be surprised at all the right moments - don't read this series. I'm writing it somewhat similar to the way that mike_smith writes his Harry Potter...

We're off to a rollicking start here with Bash Wars III, and it's now time to announce the winners of last week's contests and immediately set them at one another's throats! 1. SQUIRRELY THE SQUIRREL ( norabombay ) VERSUS 8. STEPHEN COLBERT ( intotheaether ) Every year it falls to me to try to accurately seed this tournament, which is truly difficult...

You've voted in the west brackets, but your life is still meaningless and incomplete.  Maybe you should check out the east brackets... 1. SQUIRRELY THE SQUIRREL ( norabombay ) VERSUS 16. JACK KEVORKIAN ( kateshort ) Technically, norabombay entered of the Woodland Christmas Critters for this tournament, but the rules demand single combat, so...

I have never read anything by Stephenie Meyer. This is partly because “Soppy Teen Vampire Romance” is not a genre that appeals to me and partly because I’d never actually heard of the Twilight until this summer when friends of mine started to get excited about the then-upcoming film adaptation. The aforementioned friends were quite appalled that I had never read the Twilight series and proceeded...

It has been a very long period of inactivity around here, but I think the rest has left me recharged and ready for the pinnacle of the gore_sports calendar: BASH WARS, the ultimate form of user-generated conquest.  In this most wonderful time of year, you do not have to decide who would win whatever stupid fights I make; instead you decide who will fight and lead your combatant to victory...
