Writing an undead paladin's a massive challenge for me. I don't generally write religious characters, let alone ones with the amount of faith being a paladin would entail. I'll admit it makes my main character exceedingly frustrating to write for sometimes, as his belief system runs wildly counter to my own. Sometimes I really struggle with him, ( Read more... )

So, I just learned that there's a Gatchaman reboot. I loved Gatchaman, and in fact watched it as G-Force as a kid. You'd think I'd know to be wary of the word "reboot" by now, because reboot almost always equals "fucked up beyond recognition". But I was blinded by the nostalgia goggles, and found some clips of this reboot anyway. I shouldn't have. ( Read more... )

Food should smell like food when it's being cooked. Not like fucking garbage. But that's what this smells like; a putrid bag of garbage. In fact, I actually called the super to ask if there was a problem in the compactor room. He told me there wasn't, and that one of the families here was cooking something. I'm on the fifth floor, he's on the ( Read more... )

I picked up a box of Stash Organic Earl Grey tea, only to find out that it's a black and green tea blend. Bluh ( Read more... )

Hell yes. Hell fucking yes.

So, the bratty child is back. He's been running around all afternoon for the past week, but we can't really complain about that because it's daytime. Granted, it just goes to show you what liars they are, as they said the child would not be returning after the last complaint a month ago ( Read more... )

I for one, welcome our new Warchief.

My sister's reading Fifty Shades of Grey. When I saw her post that (and about how "addicting") the books were on Facebook, I was like "Lisa. Why. >=/"

Must finish writing book. Must get family to read things that don't suck.

My upstairs neighbors are funny. Hilarious, even. Know why?

They tried to blame their most recent bedbug infestation on us. They told the super that they had no idea how they got bedbugs, and that they think we were hiding it and it must have come from downstairs. He wasn't buying it, since Mom's been in this building for 45 years. She never ( Read more... )
