Laura's thoughts on Twilight ( Read more... )

 FRIDAY:

I got down to the Hyatt at roughly six o'clock, two hours after the con had begun. I assumed the preregistration line (that I registered over the internet months ago) would be shorter than the others, and definitely shorter now since it was hours after the start. I WAS WRONG.

ADVENTURES IN THE HOSPITAL:

It was my second attempt at an evening shift, 3:30 to midnight, working on a medical-surgical floor that is sadly understaffed and overworked, though none of the Powers that Be apparently think it so. I can attest to this fact; every single one of us was busy beyond comparison last night, my feet and legs hurt so ( Read more... )

Naka-kon is coming up, and I'm so excited!  Orihime's Arrancar dress has been ordered and should be here at any day (I am praying BEFORE the con, however XD) and I'm getting together all my supplies to make my ANBU vest and shoes for my Mist Ninja cosplay.  (I MIGHT iron-on a giant Mist symbol on the back.  That might be kind of cool.  LOL LET'S DO ( Read more... )

The dog was next to me, I can only assume with twitching feet as she probably dreamed about chasing ( Read more... )

Anyhow, I really do think I knocked out that med-surg test.  Those of you may know on the first exam of the year I studied like crazy and still got an 80% (only 6 percentage points above our failing grade, which is a 74%).  I was distraught, and so I tried studying a new and different way this time around.
I went slow, thought about each question ( Read more... )

I want to know why Nintendo refuses to keep up with the region free concept on its consoles.  The DS and DS Lite are region free... Why couldn't they do that with the Wii, too?  America can't seem to import the Naruto Clash of Ninja series without messing something up (aka taking out characters the original Japanese had left in).  You assume ( Read more... )

Sooo... I've been really into Spore lately. I was playing it throughout the major TORNADO WARNING that occured over my house... Both before I even realized the sirens were going off, then after, because I wanted something to take my mind off my worst tangible fear.
I am in love with the Creature Creator. I wasn't very impressed in the demo version ( Read more... )
