For those who play Guitar Hero III - Through the Fire and Flames is like...like...okay, like some programmer took a baby kitten, plied it with crack-laced syrupy milk, placed it on a keyboard, and let it go crazy. That song is INSANE, and not even in a "man, this is hard yet it rawks" way, but in a "Jesus, this song sucks so much nut and-oh GOD, my hand is cramping up! Quick, bring me a banana!" way. Overall I am liking the set list for this one. There are some surprising duds, though: Paint It Black is very fun to sing along with, very boring to play. The game needs more Dethklok. I find Dethklok's songs to be the musical equivalent of cowbell. I'm not the only person watching Metalocalypse, right? Come on!, it's 11 minutes of brutally concentrated awesome every week!
I want to see about heading to Dragon*Con next year (the website states "only 293 days left!"; how cute). It would be my first year going. Have many people reserved rooms in the main hotels yet? Y'all think I can wait a bit before I do the same? How many of y'all will I be able to powwow with down there? I know there's at least three people from my FL heading out.
Saw "Lars and the Real Girl" (I keep calling it "Lars in Real Life" by mistake) with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
atraxia the other day. I let the film marinate and, fine, call me a cynical bastard, but I'm left feeling it was entirely too saccharine-sweet. There was the kernel of a *great* film on the study of the human need for connection, and the writers/director knew it. The air of "Oscar! Oscar!" permeates the movie, resulting in overlong shots and schmaltzy dialogue that appeared to have been placed for emotionally evocative reasons but end up feeling quite manipulative. All that being said, and in spite of myself, I sort of liked it (I'm a sap, goddamn it). And the use of USB cables and CPR? For the WIN. I just wanted to take Ryan Gosling's character home and give him a hug. Or a quick pat. Whichever.
Is it possible to have a negative NaNo word count? If so, the absolute value of my pace would result in a word count that's staggering. Otherwise, not so much.
( Work stuff. In which Fredericks totally makes the right call and ignores naysayers and I RAWK SO HARD! Haha! )
Before all that happened I was supposed to get the flu shot. The CNS on the floor was going to give it to me. Then she pulled out the IM needle and I chickened out like Kentucky. I think my time in healthcare has actually made me *more* scared of shots. I know how much IMs hurt and there's no way I want to voluntarily subject myself to one. She tried to stick it in once and I moved back so fast it wasn't funny. And, man, the actual flinching/withdrawal *felt* involuntary. I felt terrible, but not terrible enough to let her stick me.
Entries of this length are what happen when I try to avoid posting short snippets here and there. The plan for tonight? Co-op Guitar Hero III, NaNo (I'm not joking), and sleep. Not necessarily in that order.
