Just finished Turn Coat by Jim Butcher.

It took me awhile to finish this, actually. The beginning was a bit slow, but the second half was very well done and made me okay with the first portion.

( A couple spoilers )

I'm not buying Kim Harrison's hardcover until after the move. Heck, I brought Butcher's book to work with me so I could get that sucker packed after finishing it! I don't need more to move. Who knows, maybe my waiting so long for it will make the price of the HC cheaper! *Crosses fingers*

Current Mood: awake

If you're not caught up on How I Met Your Mother, don't watch this!

( spoiler on the start screen! )

Also... I so need a Barney LJ icon.

Current Mood: sleepy

Obama won. His speech was awesome. I got a cute, little sticker for voting.

I think tonight, for the first time in a long time, I'll be able to sleep with a little hope in my heart.

Current Mood: hopeful

Phew, I was starting to get worried that my show was turning into Xena on me! (Okay, I'm still a bit afraid of that, but this was the first non-crappy episode of the season. It's possibly turning around!)

Current Mood: bouncy

On Tuesday, Obama criticized McCain's economic policies as similar to those of President Bush, saying: "You can put lipstick on a pig ... it's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still going to stink after eight years."

The McCain campaign contended that the comments were directed at Palin, the GOP's first woman on a presidential ticket. In her acceptance speech last week, she had referred to herself in a joke about lipstick being the only difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull.

As a woman, I am appalled that McCain would use Palin's gender in order to try to attack an innocent statement from Obama. I mean, FFS, have they never heard that line before? It'd be like Obama saying "A cigar is just a cigar" and having McCain cry out, "You leave my daddy out of this, he smokes cigars!"

It used to be that I just hated McCain's opinions and ideals. Hearing about his politics makes me want to puke.

Current Mood: angry

So, wondervixen and I were talking about how we watched this show when we were kids about a mannequin who came alive at night in a department store. We also recalled there being a girl and a mouse there, but weren't sure of details. We also thought that there was a fourth character, but couldn't recall who/what.

Okay, Vixen, get ready to go down nostalgia lane!

Current Mood: nostalgic

Just got home from my interview.

Dear gods, I forgot how stressful those can be!

I think it went well, although I did forget some things about my old job and wound up being accidentally untruthful on a question. >_> (My memory was so kind, however, it remembered the answer AFTER I already answered... gee, thanks, brain.)

I'll find out in one to two weeks.

And I should probably eat something!

... And I need to catch up on LJ. I've been a bit frazzled this week. ^^;

Current Mood: ditzy

Got my first call back for an interview today, since I don't even know when anymore!

It's at 1:00 on Thursday!

Cross your fingers for me!!!

Current Mood: excited

So, I admit, I'm not a good loser when I'm repeatedly smacked down in fighting games. Sure, fine, kill me here and there; heck, kill me more than I kill you... but if it's just constant beat down after constant beat down, I start to get pissed.

Right now, I'm pissed. And no, not at coldfury... even though I did have to leave the living room so I didn't punch him in the face.

I'm pissed at what the game designers did to Ivy.

No, I'm not talking about her HUGE breasts that she's suddenly found herself having. (Though don't get me started on that or else this post will be twice as long.)

I'm talking about them completely nerfing Ivy!

!!*#&%

My favorite moves in the game are now insanely difficult to get to work properly. And hell, even when you're 95% sure you pushed the right buttons, it doesn't happen half the time. Which, I'm guessing, is due to her not being in the right weapon state. (Which, btw, the game doesn't tell you what buttons to push to swap from sword to whip state. WTF?)

Now, granted, I suck at the X-Box controls. I'm a Playstation girl. Give me a Playstation controller and I can figure a game out. The X-box controller is just... too busy.

But seriously, game designers. WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY IVY CONTROLS, YOU BASTARDS? *Stab stab*

Also?

Yoda is a fucking twink and I want him to die in a fire. *Stabbity stab stab*

Current Mood: pissed off
