- My sister is coming home today. I get to show her Otakon pictures and giggle about BSG with her (she's adorable, apparently she watches the cute scenes from the show when she's feeling down. Just precious.)

- Meeting today should hopefully clear everything up and I can be done with this damned document, and then finish the table and BE DONE WITH THIS PHASE FOR GOOD

- Cecil/Rosa (/Kain) FST! Because I may or may not be a softie. I sometimes like good people, k?

- OMG MY SHARED FEEDS PAGE HAS NINJAS NOW.

- Halfway done with laundry! OMG I NEED LESS CLOTHES.

- I have a ridiculous number of plotbunnies. Dammit Drak, we need to stop having cracky conversations! Hopefully I will get a chance to write. Anytime. Before I esplode.

- Why is the Before Crisis/Last Order soundtrack so good? Seriously, I'm a little surprised. Not SYMPHONIC, but it's kickass. Way to go not!Uematsu.

- Also, This is the best FF7 fanmix in a long long while. And trust me, I listen to a lot of really bad FSTs. I think it's the use of Queen that won me over (even if "All These Things I've Done" strikes me as more of a Turk song, but eh, it's a good song, don't care WHY it's in an FST). The opener song is pretty badass, and that's usually what lets me know right away if things are going to be Terribly Wrong or not. XD

- Started cleaning up my Caricature serial for [profile] indianconundrum. It's not as much of a continuity mess as I thought. Which is good! Fixed up the first chapter the most, as I wrote it like... god... in 2005? Has it really been three years? I know that I can deliver less cheesy sounding lines now and hold a narrative, so I fixed that a bit. We'll see how it goes. I kind of like having my own characters. XD

Yay FST!

Speaking of good FF soundtracks, I was surprised at how good the Crisis Core soundtrack is. I didn't like DoC's soundtrack that much, but whoever did CC did a really good job.

Well, DoC was kind of NOMURA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH GACKT, A MUSICAL JOURNEY. BC's a little on the industrial side, which I like, so. XD And I just went and watched through Crisis Core's cutscenes last night (because I don't have a PSP, and well... I'm actually not terribly fond of Zack? Blasphemy? Maybe?) and I thought the music was good (especially when it covered up whatever the hell Genesis was saying... NO ONE WANTS TO READ YOUR POEM, GENESIS).

>.>

I make more FSTs than I should. The RIAA prolly has me on a hit list by now.

*snort* dude, all of Final Fantasy = NOMURA'S LOVE AFFAIR WITH GENESIS GACKT, A JOURNEY

I actually don't have a PSP either, but I am going to have to get one before Dissidia comes out.

(and I don't really like Zack either ^^; Or Sephiroth. But I can never tell anyone because everyone loves them both)

(AHAHAHAHA HOW HAVE WE NOT MET IN FANDOM BEFORE? SERIOUSLY?)

Tseng's little bits were the reason I kept watching, and the strange likeability of Angeal (I can also see why he's slashed to high heaven, he's an interesting addition). Tseng was basically fabulous and I forgive his flailing around in Before Crisis for his shear smirky awesome in Crisis Core. And then there was this:

Yeah. I have a feeling his lines would make more sense if I were drinking at the time.

We can start a club with the whole Zack.... thing. Reno should have punched his lights out. I mean, it's Reno, so he probably wouldn't have... you know, not gotten his ass kicked.

Don't worry next con the three of us can hate him together.

Cendri, your taste in music your iconning you win at life. Thanks for pointing me towards the FF7 fst, as it is awesome.

And good luck with your serial! I hadn't known you were working on one but that's really cool.

It was originally called "Archetypicality", and was originally going to be an epic story, but instead it turned into this multi-perspective serial. I enjoy messing with tropes. XD

This I remember. I'm trying to get back into original fiction (shh!) and will try to check that out. ^^;;

Trope-messing-with can be awesome. ♥
