O, hai thar! :D?

Sleepy? Sleepy. Mmrm.

Okay, so I've been quiet lately. I really have no valid excuses, other than "lazy". I've been poking NaNoWriMo edits with a sharp stick (so.... close.... I hope D: ), actually went to the movies twice (!!!!), played a bit of Final Fantasy XII (coming up on 300 hours, oh gods) and generally let my brain turn to tasty tasty mush.

The movies seen were Princess and the Frog and Avatar. Princess and the Frog I adored. Naveen rocked. Tiana rocked. Everyone rocked, except maybe the theme at the end. I was very oO about that. It didn't fit at all. Avatar... well, it was pretty much what I expected. Very pretty graphics, but the story was exactly how it appeared (twists? What twists?), the Aesops were heavy-handed and it needed to do a lot of unpacking. I've been calling it SciFi Pocahontas Taken To Its Logical, Anti-Colonialism, Anti-Capitalist Conclusion. The use of Unobtainium was amusing though, and I kept getting distracted by the ears. I want ears that move!

In comics news, Fail!Comics Store has mysteriously moved, and I can't be bothered to find them again. Seeing as they regularly don't have what I'm looking for, it's really not worth the hassle to wander downtown during rush hour in order to find "the place by Chick Fillet on the left". I really do need to find another comics store. *sigh*

NaNo... Well, jazzypom is ♥. No, seriously, she must have the patience of at least two, maybe three saints to slog through it. GDocs was evil and ate some of my edits (not all, which makes it much more difficult), and it doesn't like the document size and... (FLAIL) Needless to say, Jazzy is a gem and I commend her for not demanding my head on a platter, along with my eye-blinding highlighters (I BLAME OFFICE FOR THAT). Hopefully once it's posted (60k now, ashd;ajkh) my brain will feel free to wander off on other tangents, rather than continuously coming back to NaNo and my deliberately-constructed-yet-so-obvious plot holes.

moontear and I are co-writing a fic, though! It's a Final Fantasy XII AU, located at her FF.N. It's het! Yes, how far I have fallen. Or risen. Or, possibly, traveled around in circles quacking. I've never done a co-write before, so it's kind of an interesting experience. More on that as it happens.

Yes, this is an update about why I haven't updated.;; Whoops!

Me and my cousin are thinkers and discussers but our siblings want to murder us after every movie because we spend the entire ride home omg talking about it. Apparently this ruins the movies for them because we can't just let it sink in or whatever. They have i-pods, they don't need to listen and they join in when they can, but they still complain we leave them out of the loop.

Good on you. :) Yeah, I don't have much of a beef with people who don't like thinking about/discussing the media they consume, but I have entire herds of cattle with people who try to shut down the discussion of others. Gah!
