Update
- After two postings I’ve realized that it would be beyond cruel to inflict my NaNoWriMo project on my readers through blog posts. Vomiting up 50,000 words in 30 days is painful enough for me already because I have to let so many crappy words survive just to keep making my deadline. Also, I write out of order and tend to build many small chunks that I eventually assemble together. (This is why Star and Scribe has completely faltered in its attempt to be written chronologically, with twice-weekly chapters. Live and learn.) My NaNoWriMo project will now just live on a page of its own until it’s completed. You masochists who want to follow along can follow it there or at my NaNoWriMo profile.
- The Beatles: Rock Band is proving a lot more charming than I thought it would be. I can’t wait to take it home for Thanksgiving and make my family play so I can just sit back and watch the graphics.
- Brütal Legend really pissed me off last night with what was either poorly planned out gameplay or some serious bugs on a quest. I’m guessing it was the latter, because there were some baddies who appeared stuck running on a cliff and couldn’t get down to fight me. The NPCs I was attempting to escort wouldn’t follow me at all, even after I managed to kill the stranded baddies. Eventually I had to abandon the NPCs and I made it to the next animatic, but I was seriously annoyed. Brütal buggage.
- Last night I watched Transformers 2. I was so glad my boyfriend was there because he kept pointing out hilarious things only a science genius would notice, like the fact that if Optimus Prime stood upright on the deck of an aircraft carrier, he’d rip right through the floor and sink the ship.
- I made a viking beanie for my niece, the second in what will eventually be a very, very long line of silly hats. Pics and patterns coming soon.
- No, I’m not going to talk about USC’s loss on Saturday. Ever.
I couldn’t watch the USC game after the third quarter. It was too brutal!
