Interfering With the Natural Order Since [Redacted]

Took my final-final exam for my AS in Accounting yesterday (unless of course I flunked it, which is not quite as unlikely as I'd like) and am working Craigslist into my daily routine. Intending to send out fleets of resumes, or perhaps solitary boats depending on how many fall into the Experience Paradox.

In recent weeks, finally started playing the Neverwinter Nights 2 package I got in a Steam sale. Nearing endgame of Storm of Zehir. Played a little bit of the original campaign with a half-drow sorcerer, then started over with a full-drow favored soul. Recently learned that the half-drow option was introduced in the expansion, which explains why now I'm finally getting dialogue like "AAAHHH DROW oh wait it's just you." I don't know how long I'll be chugging along on that. Judging from spoilers, the endings of both the original and Mask of the Betrayer do not sound like ones I'd be particularly eager to see.

In somewhat related news: paged through old debate between posts of a Let's Play on the ethics of the Wall of the Faithless. One particular poster kept insisting that Realmsian atheists were idiots who deserved to dissipate in agony and Super Overgod Ao made the rules so you're not allowed to say the rules are rubbish. Then it came out that they're one of those religious types who thinks about the same thing of real life atheists. Yeah, well, screw you too.

Hello all! One paper left and then I'm FREEEEE to join the daily grind and/or mooch off my parents while Finding Myself and finally getting that driver's license. All my honor cords etc. have arrived in the mail - history society, English society, Phi Beta Kappa - and I think I'll look pretty pimp at commencement. Why yes, I am bragging, why do you ask?

Next New Vegas DLC is scheduled to come out right after graduation. Sounds like ideal kick-back-and-relax opportunity seeing as my parents declined to bankroll the cruise in the Baltic until I get a job. Joshua Graham, yay! I just hope they won't confiscate the Courier's stuff all over again, otherwise what was the point in hoarding all those tobacco chews and skill magazines?

VtM for the year wrapped up. Stuart's night in the limelight ended with a Gangrel buddy making an Abomination of a dying young werewolf we met in a bar, who we planned to hug and love and call Seras Victoria. Gave the people staying for the next campaign my out-of-school email so I may be able to hear about the gory results when things start up again. The Storyteller accepted the offering of my character sheet, so I hope he may live on as an NPC, wallflowering for many nights more until the werewolf eats him.

Lurking at recent internet trainwreck on sf_drama with great fascination. Earliest memory of the subject under scrutiny is when they were in my fanficrant years ago, laughing at someone who argued that Tsugumi Ohba might well be a woman seeing as they presented themselves as such. All "lol you and your queer theory." Either I am a grudge-holder extraordinaire or I am an elephant (a non-Republican elephant, for the record). You decide.

Oh hell yes.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

For another semester, I have conquered the temptation to do the presentation for my history research paper with the help of homebrewed Hetalia comics. It helps that my drawing remains generally primitive.

( Cut for my tasteless sense of humor )

In related old-news, which particularly jumped out at me because of aforementioned history courses, I was Googling about and found an article on Hetalia that included a translation from a Japanese blog:

I read the Hetalia people are talking about. The relationship between characters personifying different countries was pretty amusing.
Good-for-nothing Italy that can think about nothing but good food. The Soviet Union, happy to be Germany`s prisoner.

*record scratch*

Not sure whether I should be exclaiming "Dear Lord, translator!" "Dear Lord, blogger!" or, which I'm most afraid of since I haven't read all the strips, "Dear Lord, Himaruya!"

So, just barely yesterday (ETA: By the time I finished this post, anyhow), I picked up a package full of candy etc. mailed from home, saw a nice chunk of extra $ (also from home) in the process of being transferred to my bank account, finally ordered myself the newest Death Note DVD, went out for lunch, and saw the V for Vendetta movie courtesy of the college libertarians.

One major down note, namely the passage of Proposition 8 (and its siblings in other states). At least the margin's closer this time than it was with the last one, though close-minded me has a hard time imagining how much of an argument one could reasonably have over this issue. As long as I can remember, I've taken the right to rights as a given. It's disconcerting being reminded how many people disagree.
