I've had this song on repeat forever, I love it SO MUCH.

Last night I had the weirdest dream. I only remember the last little bit of it before I woke up this morning.

( it lies within, if you DARE )

...Is it sad that now that I've discovered that Tanya Huff has an LJ, I totally want to friend her except I'm afraid I'd seem like a creepy fanboy? (Though I guess I totally am; not creepy - I hope - but a fanboy.) Though the fact that she likes both Charles de Lint AND Joss Whedon shoots her way up in my estimation (and she was already pretty high in it).

Also, I just joined antiacademia, a community for grad students to vent. And now I'm sitting here like AUGH WHAT HAVE I LET MYSELF IN FOR? And given my shyness and less-than-social tendencies, why did I choose to enter a profession that centers around interpersonal relationships and public speaking? AUGH.

Y'know, being able to turn into a cannibalistic demon would come in so handy at times. XD

Played a little more DDS2 today. Dude, the Berserker form...SO COOL. O_O

Also, I liked the fact that they gave you the option to see the Varin flashback in Roland's HQ. Anyone who didn't play the first game and started with the second is already thoroughly confused by that point, and I imagine it wouldn't particularly help them (XD), but for someone who's played the first game and just wouldn't mind a refresher, it came in real handy. :D

...For some reason I've just been really antsy and restless today. I've got stuff for this week I should be working on, and I find myself more inclined to pace my apartment a zillion times than actually do it. Furuba is pretty calming; maybe watching some of that will calm me down enough to do my reading and work on my assignments. (If nothing else, maybe Tohru's work ethic will guilt me into it. XD)

We may take a glass together, the whiskey makes it all so clear, it fires our dulled imaginations

This weekend I read Mercedes Lackey's The Wizard of London, her newest Elemental Masters book. But it's funny, because I remember thinking, "dude, that's awfully quick - her last book in the series, Phoenix and Ashes, just came out not too long ago!"

And then I remembered that I got said book the day before the fruitless trip to Lawrence, followed by hanging out and imbibing alcohol with rathershady, courters28 and peskyelf at Vinnie's place. (That was a fun night, complete with Read or Die, a feather boa, birthday cake with a cigarette candle and drunk nuns.) And then I realized, holy hell, that was a year ago exactly. It doesn't seem anywhere NEAR that long ago. x_x

...dude, Dougie MacLean is coming to Iowa City next month! :D :D :D *buys a ticket*
