A VARIETY OF THINGS.
In case it hasn't been obvious by now--and it might not be since I'm usually careful about only posting when I'm in a good or sorta good mood--but I am a moody person. And when the weather gets hot, as it is a majority of the year here in South Texas, I can be a very moody person. I'm prone to bouts of grumpiness and not speaking and being a sour puss in general, and HOLY CRAP HOW DO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY DEAL WITH ME. Basically, beyond the short comments I've left on some of your posts, I've felt no need to speak.
...That paragraph serves no other purpose then to act as a preemptive "Hey if I fall off the face of lj again its because I'm in one of my moods" type of warning. I AM SURLY IN NATURE, PEOPLE.
Enough of that emo(-ish) shit, since, unlike the past week, I FEEL LIKE TALKING NOW. And it shall be in list form since I'm too lazy to weave everything together into coherent, transitional paragraphs.
1.) I made the mistake of showing my brother this cross-stitch of the World 1 map from Super Mario Bros 3 and his response was to say, "So when are you making that?" XD Have you forgotten that I'm still stitching this Smash Bros. pattern for you? Stop giving me new projects! I still need to get back on track with my Super Secret Project that I haven't touched since March. At this rate I'll die before its finished. D: Randomly, if you check out the SMB3 stitcher's flickr page, you can see that one of her other craft projects is of knitted poo. KNITTED. POO. It's pretty awesome. XD
2.) I went to Waldenbooks to see if they had any trade paperbacks of Hellboy or Fables (particularly volume 8 since I really, really want to see the wedding of Bigby Wolf and Snow White) but found that, similar to their manga section, the selection of titles available there is dwindling down. Disappointing~. They mainly carry Marvel and DC stuff, which isn't surprising, with the very few titles by other companies hidden amongst the disorder. If only they would organize that section better. [shakes fist]
But! I was just browsing through Amazon and found the The Hellboy Collection, which has the first seven volumes, and now I'm sitting here debating with myself whether to buy it or not. EDIT. As I was pondering on this I instead ordered three games: Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne, Siren, and Grim Grimoire. Oh ho ho, my buying moods change so quickly.
3.) Since the rest of Battlestar Galactica isn't going to air until 2009 (which makes me irritated at the writers' strike since the latest episode, Revelations, ended on such a cliffhanger; OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO EARTH), I've taken up watching Dr. Who. I honestly know almost nothing about the Dr. Who universe (besides random stuff about the Tenth Doctor, the only companion I've seen him with, Donna Noble, and little bits the I've learned from the few episodes I've seen), so I sort of watch each episode with this look of awe on my face. His sonic screwdriver is a most curious thing, I tell ya.
4. I finally downloaded the latest PSP system software update so I could play Crisis Coreand quite possibly cry over the fate of Zack, but instead I've gotten hooked to Patapon. Its so addicting; I find myself chanting along with my little walking-talking eyeball army and diligently going on hunts for food with them even though we have more than enough Kacheek meat already.
Seriously, its my favorite PSP game now.

spinooti where Snake...bakes a cake. It is awesome. ♥ Plus, there is Snake ass, and Snake ass is always good. NOTE: Someone has commented that there may be a spoiler to MGS4--though I wouldn't really know since I haven't played the game. So yeah. Just wanted to give a little heads up to those of you who are sensitive to spoilers, no matter how vague they may be.
× Nintendo wall decals. If my walls weren't already blocked by too many bookshelves I'd totally buy the Donkey Kong ones.
× Random fic I like lately: Play Date, a slightly AU Eyeshield 21 fic by F.A. Star Hawk. The premise sounds a bit silly with Sena being set up on play dates (and becoming friends) with children who end up being on rival football teams to his when he enters high school (awkward explanation, lol), but honestly, I can't get enough of it! I find the friendships Sena enters very cute (particularly the strange mother hen one with Agon) and its pretty much a fic that puts me in a good mood.

even though I know I shouldn't repress things anymoreand once I actually talk about it I'm totally okay. I feel better now. (You're comment made me smile though. Thanks. ♥)I secretly long for more Snake in an apron since I like domestic crap like that. XD Too bad the MGS kink meme has been silent lately or else I'd totally request it there. ...I HAVE CRACKY TASTESSSS.
