Random Friday natterings.

Mood: 14 Glad it's Friday

I downloaded the Firefox addon "StumbleUpon" and it stumbled me across an amazing UK artist named Russ Mills. One look through his gallery and I've completely fallen in love with his work. After July when we're done saving for a house and hopefully not dirt poor, I'd love to buy one of his large-scale prints to hang above the bed or the sofa~

I'd also still really like to own large prints of this piece and this piece from dklette.com. I saw them at the Christmas craft sale and thought they were really cute.

A happy first birthday to adorable Toby! He turned one-year-old today~ *^^* I took him for an annual checkup yesterday and the doctor said he's a perfect picture of bunny health! *Cuddles her Toby*

My plan for this weekend more of less consists of drawing and Guild Wars, two things which I've been increasingly wishing I had more free time for. *Sad* I just got Koss back from being stupidly captured and I have to get him to level 20 like the rest of my heros. *Rolls eyes* I have a very love-hate relationship for Koss, being married to him and all (because in the GW universe, I've decided that Koss is Ula's goony husband, because I'm a giant unbelievable nerd and think up backstories for my role playing characters like that -- and there's just something about that giant afro that screams a perfect match to my Ula who is overly butch.)

In any event, Koss, who already has proved to have a bit of a habit of being absurdly stupid (he constantly draws unnecessary badguys to us or is running off and getting himself killed when I tell him to wait at a flag) is true to his nature and goes and gets himself captured by the enemy. So I come in all heroically to save his ass, and what's the big oaf doing when I find him and the other prisoners? DANCING. Torture? Beatings? The regular hostage stuff? Oh no, with Koss it's all "Fuck that, man -- we ordered pizza!" and dance parties. Some times I question Guild Wars' character developers. (And I just found out Koss ends up running off with Meloni later on in the game. That bastard. I don't know what Ula ever saw in him anyway.)

... I think I've surpassed on my omgNERD quota for this blog post, so I should go now. ¬_¬

Hahaha, the pot which you managed to startle. I've started writing and this happens to me too, where my characters have gone a bit out of control.

What really had me laughing is that you're still acting within the confines the game defines; /dance-ing while captured. Ehl oh fuckin' ehl.

Hahaha, but that's the thing! I wasn't the one who made Koss dance! I swear, I walked in after killing all the guards and he was already dancing! All of the other prisoners with him were pumping the air all celebratory and Koss was freaking dancing. I was like WTF?

It was almost as weird as those freaking celebratory giant bees that rain down when you beat Prophecies. I still don't know what the hell those were about.
