Oh, well… maybe I can find the PU-36 Space Modulator and head to Mars with it, then use it to blow up that blue/green planet that keeps obstructing my view of Venus…

UGH! Those noisy great blackhawks are wallowing around about my house again. One is circling and circling… looks like people are dangling their legs out the doors.
Piss off…

No way man!
Hornets are MUCH worse. You have those noisy sky-Harley's buzzing you constantly?
That must be a nightmare. :(

OK, I've had a nap after feeling deathly tired… Now I'm up to finish off my feature comic for tomorrow. Sometimes I think Skool and I work almost as much on DD as our day jobs…

I think I'll start my game all over again. Credits are very hard to find and I can't afford all the upgrades. And I've been told that I need to upgrade everything in order to face that final mission… whatever it is…

ANyway, completing the final mission brings you a lovely cash bonus for your next playthrough, so it's worth finishing before starting again.
Jets are much more interesting to watch at low altitude than helicopters. Unless it's like a fleet of Chinooks carrying hummers and artillery pieces. A Blackhawk is absolutely stealthy compared to a Chinook.
But jets are just so cool. Even on the landing path to Newark airport where they're so low you can read the tail numbers.
But nothing ever beat the Jersey Devil F-16s flying over the beach that morning. WOOO-eeee
It started to rain last night and I got called into work. My brain feels like it's sloshing around in my head and I can't focus the eyes. But I got a lot of my panels done for the DD awards.
Now if I can just figure how to fit in the topless swordfight I shot I'd be set.
Lonne- it can be short if you're just doing the story missions, but there's lots of them hidden around the planets if you go looking. EDI will tell you there's an anomaly. Most people spend about 40 hours to do a full playthrough.
But yeah, unless you have the DLC you won't have enough to buy EVERYTHING in all the stores. But the only ones you need-need are the ship ones, which you don't have to buy in stores anyway.
So tired. Moving house, well flat/maisonette thing. Moving two doors up from an average sized three bedroom one with no garden or anything. The new place is much larger has an extra bedroom and has a garden. nearly twice the size. The downside is that there are a lot of steps, my legs are killing me.

Ever critique a book online? Then when the long awaited sequel comes out a lot of your critiques are addressed almost verbatim? And you know the author couldn't have read your mind because it's all too flippingly obvious that he read your posts?
I hate that. Even if there is an off-hand remark in the acknowledgements thanking fans and critics for their online input.
One of the people responsible for the Cold War called his memoir "Present at Creation" because he had been there when so much of the world as known at the time of writing came together.
Sometimes I feel like that. Except, no one will ever, ever give me credit for anything let alone acknowledge my influence anywhere.
But I've had it nonetheless and it's been far greater than I can imagine.
Then there was the guy who plagarized an article I'd forgotten I'd written a dozen years ago. Sure he expanded it with lots of great hints and tips, but it was my article. Then he's the one who gets hailed as a great genius. Story of my life.

…. must…. get… poptart… star travelling kitty… out of my head… one reason to avoid viral videos like a minefield…
I guess I should shut down or play through Mass Effect 2 again to try and purge this thing out of my head… urgh…
And my "addiction" to giving out headshots… with a PISTOL has come back. I've had it for a very long while. Ever since that one time I played Firearms (a mod for Halflife)… I was armed with an anaconda and was lining up a sniper in the sights (yes… this Anaconda Magnum has a sight scope). Let's just say nearly about the same time I pulled the trigger on the thing the sniper stood up for a moment, then dropped on his face… and left behind a huge red splotch on the wall behind him… I guess the Soldier/Shocktrooper class aims very well with a pistol…
And now I'm sure one of these days some crazed Mass Effect fan will try to create a show called "The Biotic Woman" based on the 70's/80's show opposite of the Six Million Dollar Man…

Reading it, he thought it seemed very familiar and realized that it was an article he had written some years ago. Most of it was word for word.

I'm so sleepy-tired. Haven't slept well any night this week. Bags so large under my eyes they could carry a week's worth of groceries.
and now it's a rainy day. I have a suspicion that Charles Dodgson was under similar sleep deprivation when he wrote about Alice's adventures.
Also tired, but it's early here. Spent first night in new place and managing to get a signal on the wi fi from my old place, bonus. shame my desktop doesn't do wire fu, only my other halfs laptop. still it means I can check in until the cable is switched on tuesday.
We have mattresses on floors, until I get bedframes over later, also need to hook up washing machine and somehow bring over the fridge/freezer. Problem is I have no help today and three kids in tow… guess I'll be taking it easy today. well easy compared to what I did yesterday. At least the hard parts are pretty much behind us, I just need to get used to sleeping here.
Sleep is important!

The press keeps saying in such a gloating fashion how much of a failure Google+ is now and how no one is using it anymore… And yet in the past two weeks or so it's been the most active I have ever seen it ever!
Do these idiots even have Google + accounts?
I hardly ever use mine, I just posted some stuff about Pinky TA etc like I do on FB and twitter and people are adding me left right and centre.
It seems to be an interesting cross between Facebbok and Twitter, in that it's as public and open as twitter with lots of strangers with similar interests adding you so you get to know about new people- so not all private, creepy and stalkerish like FB can be, but also not as spammy as Twitter can often be either.
Also it has longer post limits than even FB so you can post a LOT more stuff in an update, as well as the useful gallery stuff like FB. -and the friend circles that FB recently copied of course…
Anyway, I find I'm starting to use it a bit more now. It seems a much better promotional tool for you comic than FB or Twitter.
MAN! This forum really needs fixing… exactly 18 posts yesterday in the whole entire forum. jebus.
I vote forums AND stats as being the priority for fixing over everything else when we finally get going again (whenever that is). We need working stats for comic authors and for the stupid top ten list on the front page. and we need a much simpler and WORKING posting system that isn't crap like this one, and it should also say how many posts there are and who last posted on the main forum page…
I can't imagine it would be that hard to do… Volte smashed the whole site together again after the big death of 2005-6 in a very short time and it worked better then than we have at the moment, plus this is supposed to be all new, hightech, ultra shiny and cool new code and servers and everything…?
I miss having friends that i can be extremely secretive with. i have so much i want to say, but my current co-workers are all blabber mouths. It's a secret for a reason.
sigh. i've been down in the dumps as of late, and i haven't been able to tell anyone about it.
oh well, i'll get over it eventually.

I'm a little upset right now. My dad was "cleaning" (aka throwing things out) and he threw out a part of my sister's costume. It was just painted cardboard so I can see how it happened. The only problem is that it was a somewhat unique piece of cardboard. Its matching bit was already attached to the rest of the costume, so I have to find another bit of cardboard that's the same.
I know it's not really my dad's fault as he was just trying to clean up, but I'm very, very tempted to blame him.

I messed up at work - I worked my first shift alone with the new girl, and we were putting out the order. It looked like she was checking everything off before putting it out, but when I came in today my boss was like "Why didn't you guys check off the order?" She also counted the float wrong…
My boss didn't seem mad, but she must think I'm an idiot now.
Also, I was supposed to have two days off but I ended up taking other people's shifts both days. I think I need a day off.
So I'm playing Mass Effect 2, and I meet Elnora during the mission to recruit the Justicar. I choose the option to shoot her (via renegaede interrupt I think). Why? I learned earlier in the game that anyone wearing an Eclipse uniform is a true bonified killer so it was pretty hard to believe that she was only "pretending" to be an Eclipse merc (I doubt any gang that values their "uniform" would let an outsider wear one without killing one).
So how is this a "Renegade" action? The detective was glad I cut her career short though… :)
Raining again today. When it rains as hard as it is doing now, I try to think nice positive thoughts about it… especially the fact that we're gonna be drinking it later. Long ago we had a bad water shortage. So bad that for 18 hours a day the water supply to most villages was cut off in order to conserve. The water company called it "water shedding". I'd like to call it something else, but I tend to keep offensive four letter words out of my vocabulary…
