Well, how many weeks has it been....three? Again? Well, that's fine for an update. I seemed to be cursed with the three-week update. Anyways....

So I was recently sick. Not swine flu, but a fever that eventually degenerated into a lingering cough. And for those of you interested, never, under any circumstances, eat tortellini while having a fever and watching episodes of Firefly and having played Fallout 3 before going to bed. YOU WILL BE DESTROYED.I'm pretty sure I was hallucinating all sorts of crazy crap. It didn't help that said crazy crap was either post-apocalyptic, in space, or post-apocalypse in space. Combine that with a dash of random appearances from characters from Firefly and Fallout 3 and you have a recipe for brain explosion. Or, no sleep. At all. I got up in the middle of the night to take a shower JUST SO I COULD HOPE THE HALLUCINATIONS WOULD DIE. It didn't work. At least I got better, after...three days of being not in school, sick as a dog, and in the beginning, so lethargic I was like a George Romero zombie. Painful, yes. Fun, nope. Not at all.

Fallout 3 has taken over my life. Nuff said. In one play session I managed to free the people of post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh (whilst endangering the life of a small baby), steal both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights (sadly I did not acquire the Magna Carta, which is my next target), and sell them for oodles of cash, but I also acquired the schematics for a gun that shoots RAILWAY SPIKES. Woo.

I also watched the entirety of Firefly and the movie Serenity. And I have this to say: Fox is run by idiots. They destroyed a series that could have lasted forso long and been so fantastic. BUT NOOOOOO, THEY DIDN'T. Idiots. Serenity felt a bit contrived and too short, like they compressed the entirety of plot points in a season in a 2 hour movie. It was...not disappointing, but characters like Mr. Universe and the Operative felt underdeveloped (and in the case of Mr. Universe, killed off two fast after having 2 scenes. TWO SCENES). But it was good, and let us pray that Joss Whedon's latest opus does well and we pray that Firefly can return. I want to see my "Big Damn Heroes" again. "Take my love, take my land, Take me where I cannot stand, I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me."

Water polo season is over. Finally. I was getting tired of the inane competition. I still have to survive the post-season dinner, which will most likely kill me to be a polite person around a ton of people I despise. I'll survive...it'll murder me

School's going well. I'm nearly done with a short film for film class. It went pretty well. And in English, we're supposed to read a piece of English literature and then critique. I'm tempted to read the first book of the Wheel of Time series and criticize it to hell and back for being a LOTR ripoff and being 13 books and counting with over 9000 (quite literally) pages of text. The first book itself is roughly the same size as the Deathly Hallows. THAT'S THE FIRST BOOK. *gets out pruning shears* TIME TO CUT THE PURPLE PROSE. Or if I can't, I'll just read I Am Legend. And curse my teacher for not including British literature, thus preventing me from reading And Another Thing or Good Omens. Or the Sandman. Or Watchmen. Or The Dark Knight Returns. Or V For Vendetta. etc etc etc.

And the journal skins thing...besides the ads, I'm just testing it out. Might give me a reason to get a subscription once I get a job and some money. The ads maybe annoying, but at least I'll be reminded to go see Ninja Assassin when it comes out.

Deviations...won't happen. Until my muse gets back. But at the moment he's still busy gallivanting across the cosmos with the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. Here's the Never-Ever-Not-In-This-Lifetime-Will-Do List.....actually fuck it I have no point in posting it as most projects are dead. So forget it.
