Apparently Squeenix tried to buy out Eidos.

I cannot stop imagining Sora and Raziel interacting.

I hurt from laughing.

In other news, whoa, where'd my 7.30 alarm go. :D; The magic of air conditioning and being able to sleep with blankets instead of a sheet. (I just need to move somewhere colder so that this is not an issue, srsly.)

Wyrr and Maddie over today! :D No idea what we're watching/eating/doing, but it will be a day of mystery. And also rain. :D Which makes me happy.

[EDIT] D'awwww, mummy is adorable. She has bought Chris a plant for Valentine's, right, but she has given him a house key ribboned to the stem. D'AWWWW.

Hands are a little more iffy this evening because I dared to lift a radio and a fan, but with any luck they will start to mend shortly. Tomorrow it is just me and Alan again, but he has to do everything for me because Megan has written him a note which goes: HELP LAURA!!! DO NOT LET HER LIFT ANYTHING!!!

So. Amused.

Less amused at this idiot the Pope's dragged back in. Lisping? Really? (I have to say that my favourite part of the article is the part where he criticises The Sound of Music, actually. I just kept thinking of the bird and the mountain and the relative hardness of beaks and granite.)

Also, I just got a lovely, lovely PM from Piccolo999 at FFNet re. my original work and keeping people posted on it and... aww. Awww. See? Fanfiction does serve a purpose.

I'm glad I made up a plan to write 75k on F&F by April 1, yesterday. :3

I cracked up laughing at everything. EVERYTHING. I do have to say that the Cullens are pretty adorable. If I could ignore the rest of the, you know, EVERYTHING TO DO WITH BELLA AND EDWARD AND ALSO THE WRITING, I think I could be pretty happy with a story about Carlisle, and if there is fic somewhere with, like, he and Bella's father making small talk somewhere because I figure, hey, adorable + adorable = SUPER ADORABLE.

(Admittedly I said that before I wiki'd him and discovered that his vampire power was COMPASSION, but y'know, the point stands that he is pretty adorkable, and so is Bella's father, whatever the hell his name was.)

Also, Alice is kind of hot, and Jasper is a walking freakshow who is nevertheless vaguely intriguing.

Yes, these are all the good points to be found in the film. ALL OF THEM. XD I had fun, anyway. I'm pretty sure I should apologise to the people we were around for laughing like an idiot during the entire film but I think alleyne would probably say the guy on our left deserved it for eating so damn loud. <3

(Also, ignite, if you still have the link to those hysterical Twilight reviews, now is the time to link me to them, because everything I knew about the plot of this film came from those, not from the film itself. XD)

Today was actually really good. There was loads of stock, so Katie and I went out the back for a few hours in the morning to sort it out, and then Alan went out in the afternoon because we had Cathy to cashier today. :D I LOVE CATHY SHE IS MY FAVOURITE. <3 I didn't even know that I got to work with her; I thought she was only a computer cashier. ^_^ HAPPILY SHE IS NOT.

Getting kind of tired but I want to write... but not sure my brain can do much after the movie. XD Kinda... djafsdfk. The will is there but my eyes are stinging.

Oh my god what he just-- the Lady of the-- AUGH.

(Season finale of Merlin? So, SO what the fuck. SO VERY VERY WHAT THE FUCK. Although I guess this is how they plan to bring in Morgan le Fey, which is going to make a lot more sense very shortly. They're not very good at keeping Morgana's agency in the plot consistent, though. :\ The hell. Anyway. Blah blah blah, want next season now.)

...I am never sure when to call people on Sundays. Everyone else in my house gets up stupidly early regardless of the weekday, but I am never sure if this applies to other people or not.

In other news there is not enough time. T_T Why do I do this to myself.

[EDIT] I will not commit suicide over the web hosting process. I will not commit suicide over the web hosting process. I will not commit...

[EDIT] Okay, so yesterday I spoke to Rosie and she said they had bought webhosting from fucking webcentral, which is terrible and template-savvy which we do not want. They had, in fact, merely renewed their domain name THROUGH webcentral, which is actually through Melbourne I.T. and akdsjfaksjdfsk, listen, guys, if you do not understand what you are talking about DO NOT TRY TO SET THE SITE UP BY YOURSELF. OKAY. I just spent half an hour trying to work out how the fuck to ESCAPE their template maker to see if it were possible to upload MY OWN GODDAMN PAGE, but webcentral seem to be of the opinion that a) their templates are the only way, or b) the correct way to interface design is by making other options INVISIBLE.

And I thought I might be able to handle that job, teaching people how to use Word on Macs. LOLOLOLOL PATIENCE WHUT.

[EDIT] .....oh my god, Shinigami Zukan takes all the angry away asdhfajdfjdhf the Shinigami Women's Association rules the fucking WORLD. XD FROM KUCHIKI MANOR. FUCK YEAH!

[EDIT] I'm going... to kill them. Just. Kill. Dead. dfka. sadfkjkj. sajdaskjdkdsfsdfdfsff.

(Rosie is never in when I have time to work on the website. Thus, the website sits. Forever. And I have a sneaking suspicion she's not going to pay me until it's uploaded, which at this point is looking like it will happen in about FIVE HUNDRED YEARS. KFJDKFSFJDSFDDHGFGF.)

[EDIT] Viscose is officially the weirdest fucking material EVER. SERIOUSLY. In the wash, it goes like... really thick and hard, like denim. When it dries it is the most beautiful, thin, soft material you have ever felt. I MUST FIND OUT MORE BECAUSE IT IS KIND OF AMAZING.

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY:
1) SOKKA AND KATARA ARE WHITE
2) JESSE MCCARTNEY IS PLAYING ZUKO

WHAT.

WHAT.

WHO THE FUCK MADE THOSE DECISIONS.

WHAT.

[EDIT] SO ANGRY I FORGOT TO LINK.

[EDIT] AND THE LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN. This was a show based on Asian and Inuit cultures, kids! WHITE THEY ARE NOT.

[EDIT] AHAHAHAKJFHSDJHFKSJFJSFH MUWAHAHAHA. (Just discovered that I needed two two-headed dragons to breed them. NOW I SHALL HAVE A FELIX MILDMAY DRAGON MUWAHAHAHA.)

So a judge in NSW has basically given human rights to fictional characters by deciding that owning The Simpsons porn was a bad thing legally. Found, as always, through Gneil.

It should not amuse me as much as it does that the first thing that went through my head after reading this was Xolotl, and a gleeful threat to take me to court. XD

Guess I can rule out living in New Zealand. XD; Did that guy even think about what he MEANT when he said that? The possible applications??? I AM FULL OF LOL. But only out of the belief that this cannot logically continue. XD; I mean, if characters have human rights, then... well, stories just got a lot less interesting, let's put it that way.

Also, I can no longer write Mage!Verse, AtM, or CC!Verse, and that's optimistically. XD; How can you HAVE a story without abusing a character in some form? sjhfashf WAY TO NOT THINK THINGS THROUGH, GUYS.

Oh, yes. God's will on Earth, right there. Are you fucking serious.

I still kind of want to make a list of dangerous Australian things just for my own peace of mind, but that would be ludicrous and obsessive-compulsive.

SIMON PEGG IS SCOTTY IN THE NEW OLD STAR TREK MOVIE LOLOL. NO SERIOUSLY I AM KIND OF DYING HERE. My first thought should not be, "But where is his boyfriend? D:" But I am glad he's getting awesome roles outside Rogue Studios and British comedy. XD (Also: it is sad when you are on my level of internet and have to click down the quality of a YouTube video. :\)

Anyway, off to shower and get back to coding. Shouldn't take that long this morning and then I can work out how the fuck I'm going to put an invoice template together. XD; Woo hoo.

(Sorry, this was the only available icon for a film involving young!Spock.)

[EDIT] Just for those of you who don't have Neil Gaiman on your friendslists, I have to agree that this is the funniest eight minutes of someone staring at you and telling you about his experiences as a coal miner and novelist ever filmed.

DEAR KAREN AND LAURYN

PLEASE TO BE EDUCATING SQUEAKER ABOUT AUSTRALIAN DEADLIES SO THAT SHE DOES NOT GO ON FLICKING REDBACK SPIDERS OFF PEGS AND GIVING ME HEART ATTACKS VIA THE INTERNET.

SDFSKSKLFHSJKDHSDJFHKSDFSJSFHSLKFSJ,
RAVE.

The third Havemercy book is tentatively about Rook and Thom post-Havemercy.

The third book.

WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO UNTIL AUGUST 2010.

I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY, BUT AT THIS POINT? CRY.

jsdfjh dsjfhsdj sadjfhsdjssfdsfd, does this mean we get, like, whole new character-set in Shadow Magic and oh god of course we do it is probably about the Ke Han SECRET NINJA WHO WERE BRED SPECIFICALLY TO TAKE DOWN DRAGON PILOTS IDK.

*will be okay in a little while is just kind of grieving for the probable lack of Thom and Rook in the second book already because she will PROBABLY DIE WITHOUT THEM JUST SAYING*

.....at least it will be, you know, canon eventually.




............also, pebble!egg has a crack. :3 Go, go, pebble-egg!

Okay, now, I am not even particularly excited about Little Big Planet, but even I agree that this is ridiculous.

[several hours later]

................. you know what, suddenly I'm glad this game is being kept from the world.

*whimpers*

Let this be a joke.

Please, please, let this be a very poor joke.

[EDIT]

IT'S OKAY. At least, it's not as bad as I thought. I thought it was the guy who wrote Eragon. The BBC haven't completely taken leave of their senses.

I rather enjoyed the last Eoin Colfer book I read, actually, at a twelve-year-old level.

STILL HORRIFIED ON PRINCIPLE, THOUGH.
