Exclusive Insanity

So, yesterday I had to work in the morning and we went to see Spiderman 2 in the evening. Finally. It's hard to believe it's been a month since it came out, and I still hadn't seen it.

Craziness.

Anyway, though, it was decent. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but then, I wasn't terribly enthusiastic over the first one. It was a good movie, but I'm not going to rave ecstatically over it.

Ah well.

Er, other than that, yesterday was uneventful. I slept and read a few stories and worked on mine a little bit. That's about all.

So I got part two of Game Over finished yesterday... Definitely a good thing. All of the other Players were introduced - the only characters I haven't brought in yet are their Guides.

That'll be later, and they're not major.

Surprisingly, it's pretty easy to come up with titles for each of the chapters. Part one was 'Guidance', part two is 'Players', and part three will be 'Links'. Nice and simple.

I'm not sure about part four yet, but we'll get to it when we get to it.

This seriously has the potential to turn into a much longer series than I really intend it to. I could end it after this one fic, but I could also continue it. I have more the a few ideas on how to go about that...

Ah, we'll see if I'm not sick of it by then.

Also, went out for dinner for Sarah's boyfriend's birthday. She basically wanted me there so that she wasn't stuck with just him and his friends.

It wasn't too bad, though.

And today, V and I go to see the Village. Which is supposedly not very scary. I guess we'll find out for sure when we see it.

I did next to nothing yesterday... Well, I watched a few episodes of Digimon Frontier, just because I can. I didn't watch my daily episode of Fullmetal Alchemist, but that's probably a good thing - they'll last longer now.

I only have three left, and then I have to wait.

Darn it all...

I also work tonight, but then I have the whole weekend off. Then I work on Monday, which is a holiday. And Tuesday, and Wednesday.

I guess it's not such a terrible thing, since I'm so bored. At least I'll be making money.

So, yesterday I watched episode six of FMA, and did pretty much nothing else. Summer is wonderful.

Actually, I did get some writing done. I have *finally* introduced the other Players... I'm actually thinking about posting chapter one pretty soon, since I'm halfway through chapter two now.

I also embarrassed poor Shane. He made an idiot of himself in front of Devon. These things happen, though.

There was an old episode of Law and Order: SVU on last night that I watched with my sisters. We'd all seen it, but it was a big high school flashback type thing. Ugh. High school was a terrible, terrible place.

I don't think I knew anyone as nasty as those three girls, but still. It was bad.

Ah well. In the past.

Work didn't go too badly. I have another shift tonight, and then that'll be it for at least a couple of days.

Excellent.

I've finished what I've found of scanlated FMA manga... I have nothing left to read. I really liked the flashback stuff, though - I was kind of wondering about that, since the flashback in the anime starts in episode three. Not until manga volume five, though.

I also watched episode five. It was the train episode, which was my favorite chapter in the manga, but it was pretty different in the anime. Not as amusing, I thought.

Oh well.

I made a couple of decisions about the original story I'm working on - one about plot and the other more about my main character's personality and his reaction to other characters. I'm happy with both.

Hopefully I can pull this off now.

Who can tell me which soundtrack I got my hands on?

Hah. Anyway, work did not make me sick again, which is good, because I now have my show and then work again tonight. It'll be fun, though.

Well, the show will be. Work is never fun - but I guess it's not supposed to be.

I read volume five of FMA yesterday, and also watched episode four. I'm enjoying the series. I am still looking for episode thirty-one, though... I have episodes thirty-two through forty, and I'll have one through thirty eventually, but I'm missing thirty-one.

Darn it all...

Oh well. I'll find it eventually.

Well, my temperature is down - that's a good sign. And I woke up hungry - another good sign. I also had a headache which hasn't completely gone away, but I'm a lot better than yesterday.

Good. Definitely good.

So I spent most of yesterday lying down with an ice pack on my head. Near the end of the day, the headache got really bad, so I took some of my sister's migraine medicine. Then it more or less left me alone, but of course I still had a temperature.

It was easier to get to sleep, though.

I'm still pretty tired today, so I'll probably take it easy until practice. Even at practice, I'm going to try not to push it. I think I'm still kind of sick and I don't want to go back to 'completely sick' when I also have to work tomorrow.

It's going to be a busy weekend. I hope yesterday was the worst of this.

I finished the first part of my new original story yesterday - I suppose the fact that I already had the basic structure done up since this is based on an unfinished fic that I already had a part one for.

I did change a bunch of things, but there were some things that stayed the same. Still, looks like it's coming along. I also have two pages of part two done.

Yay!

Um... found places to download Full Metal Alchemist. Heh. I have, um, volumes one through six of the manga and episodes one through four, thirty-five, and thirty-six of the anime.

Yeah. Yesterday was a busy day.

I read volume two, also. It was good - I liked volume one better, but two was still good.

And I work tonight. Bleh.

Oh well. Money. I'll need it when I end up buying DVDs for FMA.

Had an anime club meeting yesterday - fun as usual. We watched Naruto, Inu Yasha, Rurouni Kenshin, D.N.Angel, Sailor Moon, and Trigun.

So, not bad.

Umm... Other than that, nothing happened yesterday. It was the last day of my week off, which went WAY too fast. Ugh. And today it's back to work.

I hate work.

Ah well.

Oh. Downloaded what has been scanlated of the Full Metal Alchemist manga. Haven't read it yet. I have this very sneaking suspicious that once I read it, I will become massively obsessed, and I'm not so sure I'm ready for that to happen just now.

I at least want to finish that ghost story... poor thing's been so neglected...

Well... That new fic is coming pretty well. Maybe it's because I can draw on a lot of personal experience. Heh. In any case, I'm having fun with it. The main character is nice and easy to relate to.

Well. Anyway.

I watched RahXephon with Jer last night. We tried to watch the dub, but it was painful. Not as bad as the Gravi dub, but painful all the same. We watched the first two episodes subtitled. Jer is pretty confused. I understand what's going on better now that I've seen some of the later episodes.

That's never a bad thing.
