Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Finally got power/internet back last weekend after the hurricane. Yay! First thing I did was to plug in my newly repaired PS3 and go play Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I think I am currently half-way through and I'm definitely already thinking of a second playthrough of the game. It's because there are so many ways to do the levels/areas and ( Read more... ) -
Hurricane Irene
Currently have no power and definitely no internet - not estimated to have internet until probably next week. Any fic reviews or messages left for me on ff.net will not be answered until (hopefully) next week. Chapter uploads will not occur until I get internet back. Thanks guys for your patience!

Musings...
Some (most) days, I feel like I'm the hostage of my muses. Today is such a day. As is probably most days.

X-Men: First Class
I was always pretty "meh" about Bryan Singer's X-Men movies, and then even more disappointed and hated Brett Ratner's X3 movie and disliked the Wolverine movie - and I think it's mostly because I hated the emphasis on the mutant powers instead of focusing on the story. A part of it was also the over emphasis on Wolverine. I am not a Wolverine fan ( Read more... ) -
