Point A:
Okay so like a) the State of New Hampshire can suck their uninsured drivers law. b) To the drunken bastards who rear-ended me, I hope you choke on your beer (okay so the driver was not totally drunk but the other two people were trashed out of their mind) c) My poor car.
Point B:
Trauma Center for DS is so much freaking fun. Seriously, I was sort of making fun of it because I was like 'You...play a doctor?' But the game is literally SO BAD it's awesome.
So it starts out really simple. Some sutures here, some disecting there. The most complicated real surgery you get is some sort of valve replacement or the weird one with floaties. Curing cancer in this game by the way is ridiculously easy. Also you're always supplied with your trusty can of Miracle Gel which instantly closes wounds.
Eventually stuff gets harder, your crap doctor suddenly develops this MAGIC power called HEALING TOUCH which slows everything down so he can focus better. To activate healing touch after this you must trace a star in the screen. Don't forget to actually select the right tool though. I accidentally carved a star into some guy's lung once. That didn't exactly help his vitals.
The weird stuff starts later. TERRORIST VIRUS GUILT which is cured by slashing at it under a patient's skin and then firing at it with your laser beam (serious). There are other strains most of which involve a lot of things which can't be really good for a patient.
Seriously though, my favorite moment in this game ever: "A BOMB!! OH NOES! YOU'RE A DOCTOR! DIFFUSE THE BOMB! IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN SURGERY!!!!" |

| Offering a Reward: |
[May. 12th, 2009|04:04 pm] |
I've decided I will offer some sort of reward, to be determined (it will be something awesome I think), if someone can find me an online femslash fic, original or fanfiction*, that is at least 50 pages and does not contain the following:
a) Emotionally stunted protagonist that must learn to love again
b) Emotionally stunted love interest that the protagonist must teach to love again.
c) Annoyingly horrifying coming out story that involves massive whoring around with men to disprove the idea that they could possibly be gay only to end in a crying and touching scene where she comes to term with her feelings after realizing what a terrible bitch she was and the next day is perfectly okay with everything.
d) Gratuitous use of pet names and the urge to instantly call your new SO: love, darling, honey, sweetie, etc.
e) Where being gay does not automatically up your benevolence/amazing factor by 200 fold, or even better a story where everyone else does not happen to also be gay around you.
Bonus Points: If you can find a story that doesn't involve the love between a blonde and a brunette.
Extra Bonus: Actually if anyone wants to write something including all this I'll send you a cookie just for the lol-factor.
* If it's fanfiction then it has to be in character too. =P |

| AE - Top 100 |
[May. 11th, 2009|07:36 pm] |
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) greywing pointed out to me that AfterEllen released the top 100 list. I just wanted to make some random comments.
1) Why does being on the L Word automatically merit you a top 100 spot? Like seriously. Mia Kirshner? People actually think she's attractive? Okay maybe they do but seriously.
2) zomg! Patricia Vico made the list! I was really excited about that. So much love for her.
3) Really crazy to see the number changes in rank from last year to this year.
4) Anne Hathaway making the list just makes me think that fandom really is scary and can accomplish all sorts of things. Like the DWP fandom. That never dies. No matter how terrible the fics are.
That said was randomly talking to some people recently. Maybe I just can't find it but has fanfiction really gone down as a whole in quality? I haven't been able to find anything that is really good. I mean granted I don't go out of my way to look but I'll skim here and there and generally be annoyed. =(
Edit: Wow, Shelley Conn made the list. Nice! Though Mistresses Season 2 made me sad. Also, I have been shamefully watching the OC because Samaire Armstrong is hot. ¬¬ |

Is when you eat yogurt/cereal bars/sandwiches for a week and wait to go visit your mother to get a nice homecooked meal...and she gives you a frozen burrito because your father didn't want it and she wanted to get rid of it.

Afro Ninja = Amazing
Because blocking machine gun bullets with nunchaku and growing an afro with mystical ninja powers is awesome. It was almost better than laughing hysterically at the Twilight movie. The only problems with Afro ninja were the parts where they were like 'No really, we have plot!'
So I had a nice relaxing weekend for once. Bad Movie night Saturday with some buddies. Sunday I ended up going to Boston to see Dvořák's Rusalka. They did an amazing job with the stage. It was really beautiful. The costumes, the effects, the music. I was very impressed. Act I, a tiny bit slow but Act II and III were more than amazing.
That said, I've become recently addicted to that BBC show "Mistresses" which I've been watching in off-time. It's so...amazingly bad. It's like watching 10 train wrecks happen at once. But with lesbians! And like affairs! |

I hate you. Thanks.
Also, Dear Spanish Translator: I hate the fact you went on vacation the week of our inspection and audit and the week I'm on training duty as well.
No love,

So my friend gave me their fortune cookie from their Chinese take out tonight.
I open it and it reads:
"Are your legs tired? You been running through someone's mind ALL night long."
What
The
Fuck?
Since when do fortune cookie's contain bad pick up lines?
Add: Also, I don't usually rec fics on this but if you like DWP fanfiction, go try out Telanu's latest: The End of All Things |

So...I'd heard about it randomly and finally got around to reading Hetalia (Hetare?). It's so full of win.
http://nisecal.googlepages.com/hetalia--mainarcindex
Germany/Italy is win. XD Though I don't think I quite want to read fanfiction for this series. It seems more cutesy than anything else. But ahahaha.
Kin-chan, you should definitely read it. =x |

| Hail Northrend! |
[Nov. 18th, 2008|05:47 pm] |
Warning! WoW Nerdery:
I was a little hesitant of the expansion to be honest. I'm a BC baby, so the idea of everything changing after I'd finally developed a nice (un)healthy WoW routine was a little frightening. But then I saw Sylvanas' new model that's not a bleeding Night Elf and I felt better.
So I got the CE on Friday, but helped a friend level her shaman up to 69 on the weekend so I didn't really step into Northrend officially until Sunday night (I did a few starter quests but came back). On the other hand, I hit exalted with the Mag'har and finally can ride something other than a wolf or a kodo since Baron Rivendare won't drop his damned mount. I dinged 71 in Nagrand actually which was amusing. I also did finally get to do the Greatmother/Garrosh/Thrall questline for the Mag'har which was great. Even though I still hate Emo-boy Garrosh.
Anyway! Northrend.
Oh my god. It's amazing. I finished all the quests last night in Howling Fjord. The feel and the quests and hell, when I killed the Queen up in Gjalerbron and Arthas showed up to steal away Ymiron. It was really awesome. =D I love the storyline with the Vykrul.
I'm taking my time leveling. Should hit 73 tonight but I'm heading off to Borean Tundra to see what that's like. Mostly because I want to get friendly with the Warsong Offensive. It felt like it took forever for the Hand of Vengeance to like me. The Snow Cows were much more accepting.
So far I'm very impressed with the questing. Which I suppose is a good thing because from the sound of it, raiding is going to suck. Since TwentyFifthNovember cleared everything in a day. ¬¬;; |

...what the hell California? Way to drop the ball again. Seriously.
Actually, wow, way for the country to hate on the gays. Arizona and Florida also banned it and Arkansas banned gay couples from adopting. |

| Damn You |
[Oct. 28th, 2008|08:26 pm] |
megandjim: I hate you. I went to Best Buy after I hung up and bought Fallout 3. Except I bought the PC version. Which probably will not run on my machine.
so now I'm pricing out a system on New Egg. Hopefully I can keep this under $700. T_T
Otherwise: Eeee~ Fallout 3. Pip Boy! Eee~ Still annoyed at the FPS aspect of the game but oh well. Fallout! |

So today we bring to you a live interview with the elusive creature called Nemi (aka Ashara).
Q. So Nemi, where have you been lately?
A. Fires. Bastards won't stay out of the f'ing fires.
Q.I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say.
A. It's a fucking fire, I don't understand why it's so hard to move the fuck out of it. IT BURNS! YOU MOVE!
Q. Er, moving on, what are your plans for the future?
A. STAY OUT OF THE @#T%!%#! FIRE!
(/nerdrage)
Other than that, I've been mildly busy lately. Watching some shows. Debating on obtaining a 360 because Fable 2 looks pretty. Also Fallout 3. Or I could just upgrade my computer.
Anyway, apologizing for any lack of communication.
Randomly, new seasons of GA and Ugly Betty make me sad. At least I have Pushing Daisies. |
