spoke: spider with a pen on a book (addicted for srs)
So, I've been a more or less unhappy lump except while reading? Though I have enjoyed the cold weather we've been getting. We're under a hard freeze warning right now. News on the radio while I was driving informed me this is bad for our fruit crops. Well, yes, duh. :P

In an effort to remind myself that not all is woe and sadness (which it feels like, which I'm hoping means hormones time again - damn my inability to keep track of this) some things I have enjoyed this weekend:

1. Finally started playing FF10 again. I can't remember why I found the game play for this so frustrating before? I'm really enjoying it now! If I'm not the last person in the world playing FF10, then here be your spoiler cut )

2. I have torn through The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife. Seriously, I haven't read anything this fast in forever. I'm trying to slow down a bit on The Amber Spyglass, but I'm already halfway through and might finish it before I go to sleep. Just one note here: Spoiler for the Amber Spyglass )

3. It being wonderfully cold and clear, I was able to look up several times while walking around outside and see Orion and a scattering of other stars. Also we have a nice half moon.

4. And lots of progress has been made on the screen-capping of KH II. I just haven't gotten around to uploading them. And it's such a pain for such tiny files that I might wait until I'm done, condense them by worlds, and throw them up that way.

Now! Bills paid up, clicking of dragons done for the day (I have a boy silver, yay!) and time for bed. *leaves hugs and encouragements for all*

This is not an icon post, because that icon needs improving. But.

It amuses me. That scene always amuses me. It evokes a brain-hurting image of Xaldin and the Beast going to a salon or something. Seriously, look at that man's eyelashes. :P

I am sleepy. Feel free to confuse this with other brain-altering states.

Weekend so far: Much much better than last weekend. When the car fail started. Now I am minus car fail and plus trip to the bookstore, so. Yay!

Though the trip itself was interesting due to my trying to keep calm and not freak out. About halfway on the trip I realized I'd already made it past where I broke down before, which felt weird for some reason. Made it all the way to the bookstore, breathed a sigh of relief, and spent more than an hour wandering around because I didn't exactly want to get back in the car. Also, books. <3

Forced to leave by the closing of the bookstore, I got my book and coffee and a metal puzzle I didn't start on these because of Lexaeus. Seriously! ...am I fooling anyone? and got back in the car. Which of course started. And seemed to run a little smoother on the way home, even, which I think might be the new part settling in? I. Do not know. And I made it all the way home, felt much better for pulling into the driveway, turned the car off -

- and the handle of the glovebox twists in my hand. %$#@ To understand the importance of this, you need to know that the glovebox contains the garage door opener, and said opener is the only way in the house because everything else is blocked up or lost keys. x.x

So I spent a couple of minutes out there fiddling with this thing and thinking that I'd have to go and wake my Dad up to let me in the house, oh joy of joys. I mean, it's not like he hasn't lost enough sleep helping me with the car, right? Need moar breakage. But luckily, it was a twist and not a break, and I was able to sort of ease it back into place.

And no more keeping the garage door opener in there.

Plans for tonight: I need a new bra, and have a promotional coupon for 15% off which will soon expire. So, mall run! (and coffee) and then, I dunno. I am this close to beating Reverse/Rebirth (damn you and your deliciously evil voice, Ansem!) so I'll probably be doing a lot of leveling then trying to beat him, repeat until dead. (Him not me.) And maybe more screencaps, speaking of which:

Screencapping post now updated and stickied! New scenes have an asterisk.

zzzzzzzzzzz
