feeling: peeved at RO
listening to: Donna Lewis - Simone (sort of)
Ok. Let it henceforth be known that Colin Mochrie is not only adorable, he's also a freaking powerhouse. Any guy that can pick up two adult women, one in each arm, one of them possibly heavier than he is, and carry them across a stage, is ooooo-kay with me. *back gives out just thinking about it*
Ragnarok Online has been screwing with me since yesterday. First, all the exits in Prontera, my main haunt, have this habit of leading not to the outside world, but to the land of disconnectivity. As if that wasn't enough, today all the doors in Prontera just disappeared altogether, and so did the non-playable characters - that means no save points, shopkeepers, nothing. Someone at one point created a warp portal which I hopped into to get out of the city, and it was cool for a while, but then a stupid mutant butterfly killed me and I had to restart from my last save point - in Prontera. Stuck again. >_< Also, earlier today, I was just sitting there minding my own business, recharging my low HP, when this giant grasshopper beast comes up and starts pounding on me for no apparent reason. (most low-level RO monsters like these dont strike first, they just hop around till they're attacked) And since I was sitting/healing, which means I'm inactive, I wasn't paying attention, so by the time I realized what was happening, I was about one hit away from death. It wasn't fair. T_T So, long story short, I'm blogging again because normally I'd be playing RO this late at night, but since it's royally fudged up, I've abandoned it for the day and am left bored.
Hmm. Simone by Donna Lewis has been ruthlessly stuck in my head for weeks now. And I can't seem to find it available for download anywhere. *kicks things* Yes, I do have the CD, but... that's beside the point. :P Anyway... s'pretty song. Sad sounding... though it's not all that sad, I don't think. Seems to be about letting go of the past and moving on, which isn't as sad as... well, many songs I've heard. Like, Last Kiss as performed by an old friend of mine who I haven't seen in years. Rarely do songs make me cry... but her rendition of Last Kiss, somehow, choked me up. Sniff. Anywaaaay... Simone. Ever since I got this CD years ago, I've had a thing for this song, and I was never sure why. Maybe because it's called Simone, but the word Simone is never once mentioned in it. Maybe cause it's one of the sadder-sounding songs on the album. Maybe cause I like the name Simone. Not sure. I looked up Simone, by the way... because of my association of it to that song, I always thought its meaning would have something to do with sadness or loneliness. Actually, it just means "harkening". I dunno. Still pretty though. And I can just about guarantee that if I ever meet a real person named Simone, I'll automatically think she's sad and depressed and lonely. Blast you, Donna Lewis. Whatever happened to her, anyway? I Love You Always Forever was a sweeeeet song.
Umm... I've hit a road block on that Utena/WLiiA crossover fic I mentioned earlier. Four games are done - Film & Theater Styles, Song Styles, Hats, and Props. Next step is Film Dub. This one's tripping me up because the film clip I have in mind to use for the game is a Shadow Girls scene from Utena... but I haven't decided which one. I need one with the right length, one where the Girls actually do some stuff besides stand in funny poses and jabber, and one that occurs fairly early in the series so as not to spoil anything for the unfortunate fans out there who only own the first 13 eps. To find a suitable scene, I'll have to, of course, physically watch the ones I have to choose from. And probably memorize them, since I'll be writing in the cast members speaking along with the voiceless video. Ah, hard to explain. Watch a Whose Line ep with a Film Dub game in it, you'll see. :P
Typing in the dark isn't easy. Even when you don't look down at your hands to type. Which I only do... sometimes. o_o;; Strange really...
Oh, something else I noticed: my blog archives seem to be gone. I started this thing in late December last year, and just last week the full archives of every post between now and then were listed over there to the left. Now only one week's worth of posts is listed. Weird... oh well. Some things are better left unread, probably. Remember Asai? :P
