My thermometer's popped up.

We're stuck in a heat wave. I woke up drenched in sweat and terribly out of sorts. Lack of central air is making me wilt. Still no grant check. They're killing me by doing that. I hope it wasn't given to the incorrect address by my mailman.

I've started going back to the gym again, and the attempt to return to routine is working a number on my leg. My knee sounds like one of them there Cereal People, Crack or Snapple or whoever the hell. I need to get a better pair of sneakers; I purchased my current pair more than three years ago and they're worse for wear.

I keep hoping that the Lucifer GNs I ordered from Amazon will be delivered to my house by Mike Carey in that anniversary promo they have going. But...I'm not holding my breath.

My giggle moment of the day - Someone rang our front doorbell and the three of us in the living had that immediate "who the fuck?" expression on our face, because anyone who knows us knows to come to the back door. Mom crept up there and peeped out, then came back in with a chagrined look because she had no idea who the people were. I shrugged it off, and then later on she said "It was those Mormons", because I guess she'd remembered what I told her about the missionaries. I had to control myself from giggling uncontrollably, and since then I've been fighting the urge to see "Latter Days" again. Blockbuster never seems to have it in stock and I've sworn off Netflix due to lack of funds. I think I might just have to cave in and purchase it, even though the B-plot does suck.

"Jeffrey"'s playing on LOGO now. I've never seen more than the first 20 minutes of this movie, even though it has Steven Weber and Jean-Luc Picard in it, two guys I used to go absolutely ga-ga over. I remember trying to watch it back when I was in HS and it was playing on Blowtime, and my dad coming down and giving me the evil eye once he found out it was about gay characters. I wish he'd given me the evil eye because it featured mediocre acting, a stereotypical "tragic AIDS" plot, and cookie-cutter characters instead. Eh. Let's see if I can sit through it.

I'll give you a hand getting off the ground, if you want, but as to actually modding... let me think about it. I got burned pretty badly by the people I was playing with last time so I'm a little hesitant to jump right in.

I advertised at queerasfolkfans for my comm, but I ran it past the mod via e-mail first. Usually if you're polite and tell her exactly what you're planning on doing she doesn't have a problem with it.

As for the GJ comms - do you have a graphic or banner for the game? I'm absolutely no good at that sort of stuff. Those usually help grab people's attention. I'll help you with ad'ing there if you wish.

I will make one and check with the mod. Well, you can take your time, honey. We're in no rush right now. Blah. Wish I had Brian's talent in... hmm... wait, I do.. heh

Sigh. I just watched the entire season 5 right through, all though I skipped 12 and 13... I like the ending of 511 better. :)

What do you think? Think I'll be branded with the Brian Kinney approval stamp?

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

*grin* We know how the man likes his bods.

I don't know if he would approve, but I certainly do think it's eye-catching. That's so awesome. Go for it.

[prreciousss.livejournal.com]

No, I think he'd be quite impressed. ;) I will see what I can do with it. What do you think is most important to add? What would draw people?


As Ted says: "What makes fags prefer one club over another?" What makes a player prefer one game over another?

What makes a player prefer one game over another?

I have no clue. You do have the eye-candy down, Ms. Kinney. *grin* That ad will work to get people interested, but you have to have a hook of some sort. I say we advertise for two weeks or so, and then see what feedback we get. Why not make a set date for the game to begin? and put it in the advertisement somewhere?

[prreciousss.livejournal.com]

;)


Yes, but when is the last episode aired in the US? I'm right now joining communities on greatestjournal (already had a rarely-used journal there) and will set up an ad as soon as I know what I want.

I'm thinking more people might be interested as the end draws nearer. You're only on episode 10 or 11 in the US, right?

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Yes. 510 airs tonight. I think the series end is around the second week of August.

[prreciousss.livejournal.com]

Right. Can't wait! :) Damn, so long.. :/


I got a mail today from someone who asked if I could hold Justin till tonight. I said sorry, I can't, but that he should still be available when she returns.

BTW, I have made some changes in the rules and how to apply. Check the mod journal (babylonrpg_mod). I think it's easier to understand now. :)

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Your ad is GREAT. I just caught in at character_rpg. Whoo-boy. I can't wait to get more people involved. Kinney, you're fuckin' spectacular.

[prreciousss.livejournal.com]

You seriously think so? Wow, I am touched. Um, I mean... heh I know. *clears throat* I have posted promo in every bloody rpg/commpimp comms on Greatestjournal, and a few new ones on LJ, and some old that allows daily posting.

I'm very pleased that you like it, Mikey. :)
