Let's have a look at this mod, shall we ( Read more... )

This past Monday, I got to engage in City of Heroes RP for the first time. I was running around on Trent when I received a tell: "Hey, Mick's Sister! Want to join us for a bit of RP? We're having a Mystery Night and since Trent is PPD (Paragon Police Department), maybe we can have him drop by the meeting." After I got over my initial shock (it came ( Read more... )

Being a Half-life nut, I wanted to see if I could recreate the MetroCop costume in City of Heroes.

( This is my attempt. )

Oh. My. Gosh!

I don't know what they did, but GIMP is no longer fussing with my tablet. I used to get this awful, AWFUL jumpiness from the stylus whenever I used it with GIMP. It was the single most annoying thing that kept me from moving over to GIMP full-time.

Now it's gone!

*happy dance*

Baibai, Paint Shop Pro 7! It's been a good run--almost eight ( Read more... )

For a while, I decided that I needed to take my workout up a notch, so I finally went for an early morning jog around the neighborhood. I had a pretty good pace at first, but then my calves and feet were like "Ow!" so I slowed down. Well, the calves sorted themselves out, but my feet didn't.

I don't think we've done anything special on the Fourth in years. (Special as in "spend the holiday with the godparents" and/or "go to see fireworks.")

We met ( Read more... )

The beginning of this year, Disney had a special on tickets where if you shelled out $120, you get a four-day pass usable within six months from the first time you use them. Well, since Thomas had a little extra money, he bought one for me and one for himself. Today, we used our last day ( Read more... )

My brother had been bugging us for the past couple days (weeks?) that we should all go out and see this movie ( Read more... )

Pixar really outdid themselves with this one. I like all their movies, but I think this is the greatest one since Finding Nemo.

I won't bore anyone with a synopsis of the plot (you can find better sites for that), but I will give my thoughts. Here there be spoilers.

I was amazed at what the writers were able to convey with such little dialog. The ( Read more... )

I am a stubborn person. If my parents tell me, you NEED to do this, my natural reaction is to--of course--not do it. It's not that I don't want to; it's just that I want to do things MY way. Naturally, I was ticked when they signed me up for a local martial arts class. (For those of you who are unaware, I am working out and trying to lose weight so ( Read more... )
