Err Between Eyes and Feet

Hey folks, I'm back again, as I always am. Another short rant, though, because I am mui tired - gotta scan a bunch of pictures from Josiah and my wedding, which is not an enviable task, but hey, it's for the good cause of showing of our dear friend (and very talented photographer) Colleen's work, so yay for that. ::grin:: Also, as of yesterday at about 11:30 in the AM, Josiah and I have been hitched for two months. Woo, and ah yes, WOO. Heh.
So yeah: I don't like it when people read over my shoulder, a feeling that I'm sure many of you out there in Readerland share. And the fifth Harry Potter is such an absorbing read that it's not hard to imagine - for me at least - someone glancing over at it while walking and get caught up in it while forgetting that one is actually moving forward. And when one's motives are to snoop while being stealthy and this thing happens... well, that's just desserts, right? Right? Ooo, and speaking of desserts, I've got chocolate chip cookies to make. Yep. Nope, I'm not kidding, I've got the dough sitting in my fridge. Heeheeeheeeeeeeeee. ::evil grin:: Mmmm, cookies. Of course you know I'd give you one if you were all here, but hey, I couldn't be in San Diego for the ComicCon, so no cookies, I guess. Arrr, I'm evil.
Sorry, enough spite. Even though you could say I'm chock-full of it, like these cookies will be full of chocolate chips. Mmm-mmm-GOOD. ...Sorry. I'll stop now.
I don't know if I've ever said it before, but Sly Cooper and the Theivius Racoonus rocks my world. I first had the chance to see this game over at my dear friend Joanna's pad, and I've loved it ever since. We rented it on Sunday, and since then my brain has been full of sneaky thief moves and all sorts of cel-shaded beauty... in fact, it was all due to Sly that I've begun to really like cel-shaded games (provided they are done WELL, of course, because if not, like any game not done well, cel-shaded or no, it will look like distilled ass). And the game is so wonderfully PLAYABLE, this perfect mixture of temptingly easy and frustratingly tricky that just makes fills you with glee to succeed, and makes you determined to kick ass if you fail. Even in the minigames where I suck (i.e. the ones involving racing [which I usually end up doing for her...playing Gran Turismo with my brothers for a couple years makes one good at such things - web guy Josiah], of which there are not many), I can't stop playing. Sly, you are the fucking MAN. Well, more accurately, you are the racoon. But I have never enjoyed controlling a woodland creature more. ::pause:: All right, that sounded weird. Let's us move on, shall we?
Hmm. Oddly enough, little more to report. Should get on with scanning those pictures. So you guys sit back and enjoy the ride... oh, nearly forgot: apparently my dearest Web Guy Josiah stumbled across someone linking to us on a message board, saying that I'm Blue was "what Real Life would be like if it was drawn by a hot blond chick." I'm not making that up. When I read that, I had no choice but to burst into laughter. First I'm getting compared to Greg Dean's amazing work, and then I get called "hot"! Doubly complemented! Ah, I like hearing things like that. Self-esteem balloon goes up-up-up-UP! ::laugh:: But yeah. Maybe I can get Web Guy Josiah to post the link to that particular statement, so you all can see I'm not making thus up or anything [here it is - web guy Josiah]. Not that I'd do that. Never ever-ever. ::nods solemnly::
Well, that's it for now: go enjoy the comic, and life, and cookies. Yay cookies.
That's Good Enough For Me,
