I'm going to make use of my DW account and archive all my TLR writing** there, so there'll be a sudden influx of posts. If that bothers you, unwatching for the time being might be a good idea. I'll give a shout when it's all done.

** might put other old writing there too, but we'll get to that eventually.

We filled in the 2011 Census the other day. My declared religion is "Dave".

I laughed a little over this.

And then the artist uploaded this today and I nearly died.

To quote storme: "See, Dave? That's why it's important that the eyepatch VANISH between gae-nesses!"

It hailed last Friday. Today I'm wearing a jumper to work. Is it autumn already?

On Saturday we watched Toy Story 3, which was brilliant. I really enjoyed that, didn't have a single thing to complain about. Storme wants to watch Scott Pilgrim when that comes out, so I'll be borrowing her copy of the comic.

I'm so stuck on switching_it_up it's not funny.

I made good progress on the Flynn cosplay over the weekend. Will post some pictures soon. Lessons I learned were: 1) When doing tests, do it on a nice, big piece of scrap. 2) Just mix the damn latex with the acrylic. It stops paint brushes from dying too early. 3) When latex-ing several pieces, make sure they are placed well away from each other and from other porous surfaces such as paper even though they seem dry. If they accidentally touch, you will cry. 4) I need an airbrush. One has already been recommended to me and now that I have two projects which I need it for, I should go ahead and buy it.

Going to place a big order of wigs from the US soon. Will soon be poor again!

There is an ongoing heated discussion regarding the proposed new team structure at work; the team disagrees with management and HR's proposed organogram. It's approaching the TLDR stage even for me although my job's on the line.

I'm trying to follow the written instructions from Darth, who I believe has an actual problem with reading comprehension and writing. He reads out loud, very slowly, but has to go over sentences a few times and can still read words wrong. He reads them out as what he THINKS they might be saying rather than what they're saying. What he writes down also deviates from what he says out loud as he is writing. "Casulties" for "consultees", for example. And I don't even know what "inepret" is supposed to be given the context of the sentence. But I know that I'm talking to the consultees not casulties, at least...

Last but not least, Storme and I decided that the boy from Colchester Franklins is called Frank and he is very man. He therefore is in the "Super Man" group which Dave and the Pleasant Young Man also belong to. Not that Frank knows he is in such illustrious company.

Of course, Super Man ≠ Superman the hero. Although I bet Dave, PYM and Frank also dick around a lot.

Randomly played some TLR on PC again. I still haven't completed the PC version after all this time! Still at the point of Fallen/just before Undelwalt. Went around killing rares and generally levelling up. Had a chance to use Bel'kwinith's Fury but the mob died before Ghor unleashed it, woe. I've never seen that WA! Slightly boggled by how Lugh's Revenge and Megalore are also classified as "Weapon Art" when clearly it's from the Remnants Torgal and Pagus are carrying, not from their actual weapons. That means they'll end up with two WA each, I suppose.

For some reason I find playing TLR really soothing. >> Tried to get items for upgrading, but then I need to complete some guild quests for the dailys/weeklys for those things. And then I can farm for stuff. But bah, no necrotic metal until after Undelwalt, so there's quite a bit I can't do. I wonder if I can kill Fallen without using any WA, if I upgrade enough and make some awesome accessories for the characters. But by the time I get enough stuff to make awesome accessories maybe they'll be at a level that they'll keep pushing out WAs anyway...

But wait, apparently on PC they will only use WAs if the union morale is high...

Anyway. I need to kill Fallen, get through more of the story, hunt down Khrynia for more arts, and employ The Seven because I'm curious about them.

Might just be me being lucky last night, but rares spawned a lot easier than they did on the Box, it seemed...

Just to show that I know other games exist, twice I've tried to buy Castlevania (PS2 and DS), and twice Royal Mail ate it. The one on XBox Live looks too old, don't really want to play it. Portal on Steam would not work for me. Having checked the forums, it seems like I'm not the only one. At least I didn't have to pay for it, otherwise I'd be quite annoyed. And I'm going to play Loom and Monkey Island II later.

Listening to Eminem's "Recovery" album. I'm liking it a lot.

On the fic front, Dave seems to be changing his mind a lot. I need to go back and do some editing to highlight that he's just confused rather than inconsistent. I'm liking this fic a bit. The fact that I get to write about Qubine and Pagus helps. I don't write about them enough.

Could be worse. If only I could find a decent rendered picture of Capell... then there can be Dave!Capell and Dave!Sigmund doing what storme termed "hot flute on flute action", otherwise known as "when I was in band camp, I once stuck a flute inside my flute!"

Rush: Hey, pumpkin.

Dave: Yes? ♥

(reference.)



Also. I lost connection to Dave the other night and had to retune.

I've bought some white trousers for the ball and they will hopefully arrive in time. So please stop looking at these pages.

Yours

Sorry, gonna die now. Do not revive. XDDDDDDDDDDD

I was educated on Fry & Laurie yesterday. :D

Search for brown string failed today. Shall go to nearby Dunelm Mill and DIY store tonight.

It seems like dystopiarcadia has been well and truly bitten by the TLR bug. Success!

I wonder when they last hoovered the carpet here at the office. Why is it that when I'm here my nose gets worse? The air con isn't even on. I'm allergic to work! Help me!

In chat this morning:
me: bet they hadn't hoovered the carpet since January or something
I console myself by writing David giving Torgal a royal telling off
(I wanted to say bollocking but that might lead to misunderstanding)

Got around to playing some TLR on PC again. Just finished the bases battles.

- On PC, I'm allowed to save between base assault and boss battle! Not that it really matters because the outside assault has always been easy for me. And with turbo mode, it doesn't take too long.

- Am I getting really good at this or did the Hinnah-Hannah battle got easier? They seem to have less HP.

- Ludope is still really hard for me.

- Irina wanted Nightbloom. O_O I let her have it.

- I got the Frostblade AND DAVID ISN'T BEGGING FOR IT (yet). WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Beg, Dave! I don't want you to use the Frostblade but if you don't beg, that makes me worry about you! IS THIS DAVE BROKEN???? CAN IT BE FIXED?

Finally:



CHUMMY WITH ALLAN. WTF IS THIS SHIT. XDDDDDD

I took screencap of all the conversations that led to Rush becoming chummy with him. Gonna post those to warriors_honor at some point.

About to get chummy with Maddox. Maybe he'll finally tell me why (he claims) Qubine is after his life. Apparently he found out a secret or something...

Rush is also chummy with Caedmon and Baulson. Rush is a little... loose, wouldn't you say...
