And Let The Shadows Run, Let The Waters Fall....

Feeling better than I was yesterday, but there are heavy dark clouds overhead and that unpleasant pressure that means more rain. The weather channel agrees with that prediction.

I've been reading Desperation. I can't say it's grabbing me or sucking me in, but it's an interesting read. For some reason it reminds me of Insomnia, even though the plots are entirely dissimilar. It's just a feel of sorts. Or maybe it's simply some convoluted way for my mind to tell me it thinks I'll like Desperation about as much as I like Insomnia. (Which is to say, something to read, and certainly has its good moments, but nothing I'll read over and over.) Of course, I know the plot and have watched the movie - albeit not paying terrible close attention. I remember the theater in the movie reminded me of the theater in SH:0rigins, though....

I'm feeling Mexican food today. I'm really tempted to try some grilled burritos and tacos, if I can conquer the cheapest, least-flammable charcoal in the world. My Chinese food cravings have been assuaged, and now it is Mexican I desire.

So, Dreamwidth. I'm terribly spoiled. I was slightly interested until I discovered you only get six icon slots. I'm all about the icons, and having as many as possible. You know, I should see if there's a way to double-post to LJ and IJ, since I do like my IJ and have a lot of folks over there who aren't here. And...I haven't updated it in over half a year. :/

Another weekend's come. Oh! We finished Rune Soldier yesterday (adorable series, very much a D&D campaign/RPG game style plot and characters) and watched Slumdog Millionaire. Very glad we rented that one - and that we watched the credits! :D I need to find the list I was keeping of 'movies we need to rent'. But hey, I finished an anime series! And nijawial offered to lend me the Bleach manga, since I like the characters and whatnot, but the filler crap chased me away from the anime.

I really miss RPing.

I have comments and emails to catch up with, and I promise I will get to them as soon as possible!

The free account over there on DW does have less icons, but you get way more with a paid account than LJ gives you, for less money. Plus those numbers aren't final yet, from what I've heard, because they want to make sure they have costs covered for the first year so they can continue the adjustments and changes and fixes to the open source code they have planned. I'm really excited about what they're doing still. If you wanna try it out, I don't mind gifting you an account to try it out? ;) What's sad is I've kinda abandoned my LJ for daily posts over there instead, haha. It's new and still in open beta, but the people running it are great and are working towards some pretty awesome things.

I miss RPing too! XD

I'm vaguely interested, but worry I'll just abandon it like I do my other journals. My IJ has been forgotten, I've never updated my JF journal, I never kept up with my GJ when GJ still existed.... But it would be nice to have a place for mostly RL ramblings...

That's what I've been using it for. MY LJ is so fandom and RP-centered - either in babbling or reading, that I'm really enjoying the more private one for personal use, haha.

I was going to ask if you felt up to enchiladas today or maybe ordering something from Pizza Hut but it looks like you've already eaten.

Hooray for finishing a series! \o/ Rune Soldier was cute.

what is this dreamwidth business that everyone but me now has?

I fail at technology.

And despite my feminist rage that they chose to nominate the white male director over the Indian female director for an award, the movie was still ridiculously good. I got a secret little happiness that they referenced the Muslim-Hindu internal politics.

I think we've seen the sun twice in the past week and a half. Heavy heavy rain last night and most of county was under a flood warning and a tornado watch as a result.
