It Remains
Sep. 24th, 2004 10:25 am
Busy weekend coming up!
Tonight![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
delphinios, silver_raccoon and I will be playing in stickypawz' Dragonlance game. I would start writing game summaries, but we all know how those pan out in the long run. Needless to say, the games have been very fun so far; I've been enjoying my character for quite a few reasons. I may not look it, but at the end of the day I rather do enjoy bathing in the blood of my enemies. :)
That will likely be going on all night, so I'll stumble into bed at 4 or 5, wake up at noon, put on a pot of coffee and see if I can hammer out Boomer Express scripts for the next week before heading toreahkitty's big Housewarming shindig in Bumfuck Dequeen, Arkansas. I should have had them done earlier, but Tyrnn's away at Conifur and he's behind...so I've been taking advantage of the leeway to do what I do best...procrastinate!
Sherri's housewarming party promises to be fun! It's been a while since I've been in small-town Arkansas (well, smaller than Fayetteville, anyway) and it's been even longer since I've actually gone to a party and stayed for any length of time. While I've grown more comfortable with people as a whole since coming back from CA, I still tend to keep my own company. I expect I'll fall into the wallflower act pretty easily.
I'm riding with Crystal, Matt/Chaser and Virginia, and chances are none of them will have a problem with coming back by afternoon. On Sunday, hopefully, I can catch up on e-mail (hah!), finish hunting down the songs I need to make a few mixed CDs, and write down a list of low-to-no cost Christmas presents to send to folks this year. Also, maybe draw this comic idea that's been bumming around in my head for a little bit now.
Speaking of comics, I found a first ed. Tank Girl graphic novel at the Bookshop today and immediately pounced on it. Reading a little of it last night, I was again surprised by just how deliciously fucked up it all is. I have *NO* earthly idea howfoxen_alopex hasn't gotten his hands on a copy by now, but this is a grave oversight that needs to be rectified as soon as possible. Expect something in the mail in about a month's time.
I also forgot how fucked-up sexy Booga really is. Good lord and butter, the things I would do to him. :9
Anyway, thanks for the responses to the picture meme. :D Most of 'em were great, if unflattering. :) I'm most disturbed byduncanroo's; the only word I can think of when I see the picture is 'gay'. That might be close, but I have the feeling it's not quite it. Fuchs' pic is going to be my wallpaper for the next unspecified time period, amen. :)
Let's see, other stuff I could talk about, but I won't. Joss Whedon has assumed the mantle of X-Men's flagship writer quite admirably; while Uncanny and X-Men are stumbling (Austen's doing a good job for Austen, admittedly, while Claremont can't seem to let the characters -- or the readers, for that matter -- breathe), Astonishing has wonderful pacing, dialogue, characterization, and the plot is the strongest of any of the X-titles save District X. By the way, District X easily and consistently outshines most of the more marquee titles in the X-Universe, if you haven't read any of them you really should.
Blahblahblahgeekblahblah.
October 15th is the deadline for Poesia's poetry contest. I'm still figuring out which three poems I want to send. I'm kind of torn between two poems that deal with similar things -- one is longer and is more 'like' me, but the other ("Montgomery's Dishes") is cleaner and something I think they would cotton more to. I have a second one that's *definitely* being included, but I need to clean it up quite a bit and make the images stronger. The third...I have no clue. I might have to mine through quite a few bits of paper and computer files before I find something to compliment it. A lot of my happier poems don't really *get* at the feeling I'm trying to pull up...but then, these days, trying to get someone to actively feel joy is next to impossible when cynicism is so much easier to identify with. <:) Maybe shelving books will help to put things in perspective.
