Great fanfiction, or greatest fanfiction?

Busy, busy weekend it was! Saturday and Sunday were filled with small things that took up the day. Saturday was just a simple lunch with my dad and sister, but also involved getting my old glass case, which I had passed onto Tom, back from the boy and into my apt. I now have space for more of my toys. But not all of them, so I need still more space. I'll always need space. I need to stop buying things.
Sunday I went with Stephris to a reception area for their wedding next year, way out in the boonies past where I used to grow up. It's a lovely place with flowers and trees and hills and stuff. I have to admit that country settings never really grab my fancy, as when you see one you see them all and I spent most of the summers of my youth at those places. But afterwards we had lunch with Tori, at Tori's work no less where she served us the lunch, and then I left right afterwards to have dinner with my gran. I was quite full by the end of it.
And then Monday it was off to Montreal and La Ronde for Steph's birthday. Rollercoasters and fast rides are sorely not my thing, and luckily not Tori's either so I had someone to sit out with, but there was still plenty of fun to be had without scaring the pants off of me. We spent the whole day there and karaoke'd the way back to pass the time and keep us all awake. I may have missed some work, but in the end it didn't really matter because the setup is so far behind I actually have very little to work on. :(

And there was an explosion in Toronto Sunday/Monday at 4am, that I heard nothing about until I glanced at the bus paper on the way to work today. Luckily, while the property damage was big the death toll is tiny. I can't imagine why a propane depot was allowed to be anywhere near residence areas though. And watching the various videos on YouTube, you get an eerie sense of Cloverfield. Had I been there I'd probably be going on about the crab/spider om-nom beasties.

Also, there's a new Batman Arkham game announced andoh my gooooooooood I'm so happy about this. I may have made little squeal noises when I first found out. Creepy neat like Bioshock but it's all detective stuff a and puzzles and it's written by motherfucking Dini? Now I have something to look forward to next year besides Watchmen.

So someone brought in the Twilight audiobooks to work and I just could not resist. Ran it and listened and I'm about a third of the way through now.
It's... it's no worse than any of the teen shit from my day. In fact, it's fairly similar to the Roswell series that I loved so dearly at the tender age of 12. But it's still pretty hilarious - I'm not even at the vampire reveal yet, it's all 'oh, I just moved to this town and was unpopular in my old school because I read books for fun and am pale and clumsy and shall clearly be unpopular here but oh how all the boys swoon over me how tiresome and everyone's beautiful' ect, ect. It's not just like some bizzare sparkly Underworld fanfiction, it's like a mix between that and a well thought out LJ post. The novel wouldn't be half so ridiculous if it wasn't trying so hard. For a 17-year-old she uses words that I had to fucking Google. I mean, I'm not exactly an English lit nerd, but I've got a pretty good handle on fancy English words, enough to know the difference between 'smart' and 'OH HEY, I'M SMART'.
But despite this, I can't stop listening to it. It's like a train wreck. A beautiful, sparkly train wreck.

So I got me a perscription to Ritalin yesterday and holy hell I should've done this sooner. It's like... like I had two stereos going on in my head and then someone turned one all the way down so I could focus on just one stereo. I did a shitton of work yesterday, I managed to complete my thoughts before moving onto the next and it was glorious. YAY DRUGS.

So I had the most bizarre dream last night: While swimming I ended up getting sucked into another dimension and stuck on a road. While lying there confused a car nearly hit me, but missed just in time. The driver gets out and freaks, grabs a blanket and pulls me into the car. While she speeds along I notice she has four arms - two long ones high on up on her shoulder and then two closer to the chest. While driving she tells me that having two arms is illegal - I never learned why. She tells me to keep myself covered until we can get somewhere safe; apparently having two arms is so illegal I'll get shot on sight. She ends up bringing me to her apartment and keeps me in a windowless room until she can figure out what to do with me. After that it got all blurry and messed up but eventually I ended up in an apartment filled with other two armed people trying to figure out what the hell's going on.
A place with four-armed and two-armed people where being two-armed is illegal. What the fuck is wrong with my brain?

Well, here's a bit of an update overdue. Nothing exponential has happened, mind you, I just feel guilty every day I don't update.
I keep trying to 'fix' my life, which feels odd because it doesn't seem broken. But all the same, each day I wake up and realise I have no schedule and each day I try to schedule for myself something happens where the whole plan falls apart. I spend most of my days doodilng aimless things that I'm ultimately unhappy with, on wasting it online/with video games while waiting to go to work. It's the waiting that's killing me, I think, since I never care to commit myself to doing something, because I always have to be done by a certain time. I'm considering a more nocturnal habit, but every time I try to work it in I just end up wasting it more online/with video games. Many nights I just end up coming home and going right to sleep. I've been back two months now and don't really feel like I've acomplished anything. Even my apartment is in a constant state of mess, no matter how many times I seem to clean it.
Hopefully starting tomorrow it'll change. I'm going to the doctor to talk about ADD medication and my options there. I really don't want to - I have an issue with using medication beyond Tylenol, for whatever reason - but it's become my last resort. All other natural/meditative methods have failed me and I'm still a disorganized mess. So with luck I might be able to right my tracks and get back to what I want to do. I have a comic I've been wanting to get out for months now, I have a short idea I really want to start by winter, I want my apartment to look nice.

So here's looking at tomorrow and hoping with what it'll bring.

Congratulations to pharetra on your marriage. I would've said more last night, but then I would've cried because I'm a sap.
So BIG congrats to the both of you, best wishes, happy living, multitudes of fat babies and all that jazz.

OH GOD MY FRIEND'S WEDDING... THING IS TODAY AND I'M SICK WHAT DO I DOOOOOOO.

So I've just bought my tickets to FanExpo. AWESOME. I'm finally going to a comic convention. It's like a rite of passage.
And after months of heming and hawing, I've finally decided on what costume I shall wear. You ready?
( Here we go )
And for anyone who wanted the Dr Horrible soundtrack, I've found it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RWWX8PNM
I can't find the episodes for non-torrent download anywhere, but if you have iTunes, just buy it. It's five bucks. And worth it.

So Avatar ended this weekend, eh? I'm afraid the barrage of OMG BATMAN completely distracted me from it. I've managed to catch up on Southern Raiders, but then had other things to do.
Like naps.

Gonna go see Dark Knight again tomorrow (today? God these midnight things mess me up. Maybe I should start updating in the morning) Will probably see it again on Friday. Yes, I'm loving the movie that much. Maybe it's just because of the adrenaline it serves. Maybe it's because of Joker's disturbingly awesome role. Maybe it's because it had Gary Motherfucking Oldman. Whatever the reason, I have fallen for this movie and I have fallen for it hard.
We're gotten some good films this year too. Cloverfield, Iron Man, Wall-E, TDK, Speed Racer and Hulk weren't that bad either. This has been excellent flick season. Bolt doesn't even look that half bad. And while I haven't seen Caspian yet I hear it was a kicker of ass and I don't care what anyone else thinks. I grew up on Narnia goddamn, practically have Dawn Treader memorized, and it'll always be awesome to me.
Yessiree, it's a good time for entertainment.


My friend 'Abnormally Tall Chris' has decided he wants to be a Patissier, and I keep trying to tell him it's the queerest job he can get. I know it actually isn't and there's a wide variety of gayer jobs out there, but seriously, creampuffs? Tarts? Small little cakes? You're telling me that's a straight man's vocation?

And also, now that I've purchased Pearl, I've been getting into Pokemon again, which means I've been getting into drawing Pikachu again. I don't know why I love drawing small, chubby animals, but they're so much goddamn fun that I can't stop. Just like I can't stop playing Pearl. I'm playing it right now. Goddamn.
So here's something that will haunt my sleep and hopefully yours. I don't know why I draw these things sometimes. I wonder even more why I save them.

Just came back from the midnight screening. A four hour wait, and it was fucking worth it. Theater was full to the gills, obviously, and everyone there was clearly in for it. Moment the movie started? I think the moon was noisier. I couldn't even hear anyone breathing. There was cheering and clapping at the awesome parts, but otherwise that was the most well behaved theater I'd ever been in.
Oh, and the movie?
Bale was awesome. The fight scenes were stellar. Batman was a fucking force of OH GOD YES and ever bit intimidating as Batman should be. And his Bruce, while I still see some Bateman in it, was perfectly dumb.
Gary MOTHERFUCKING Oldman is still my favorite Gordan ever. Wish he was my dad <3
Eckhart IS Dent. Two-Face has always been my favourite of the Batvillains, but I just love how well Eckhart nailed Gotham's White Knight. His Two-Face wasn't all I could've wanted and hope for, but I damn well love what we did get. And man, was he GROSS. So very perfect, though not as sticky as I was expecting.
And Ledger's Joker?
Terrifying. Thrilling. Spectacular. He was the kinda of guy who's jokes you laugh at, but really you're pissing yourself because you don't know when or how he's going to kill you. All the other Jokers have been funny, creepy, threatening and a good dose of black humour, but Heath's Joker is the first to actually scare me. There were some moments where I couldn't look at the screen, the scene was making me so nervous.

And now that I have the Why So Serious poster hanging right by my bed, sleep might be a bit difficult. CAN'T SLEEP, JOKER WILL KILL ME. This thunder that's loud and sounds remarkably like the drums from the climax parts of the soundtrack of TDK isn't going to help either. D:

This is one of those movies I'm going to have to see a number of times, that's for sure.
Oh, and the Watchmen trailer? FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC.

Ah, the long Tuesday stretch. I feel eight again, waiting excitingly for the Christmas morn and a new thing of Moonshoes wrapped under the tree.
Actually, I never got those damned Moonshoes, despite year after year of request. Maybe that’s a bad analogy.
Though I can’t think of anything else I wanted as much as those Moonshoes. Man, they looked cool.
Tangent!
But with only two sleeps as of this writing left, plus a short day and what I suspect will be an agonizingly slow few work hours (although I could be pleasantly surprised and find the time goes by rocket fast) and it’s to the movie. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited for anything. I’ve been hyped a few times in the recent past, yes, but this I’m anticipating with every vibrating atom of my being. I have been watching the Prologue and listening to the soundtrack non-stop, I’ve been pulling up the preview clips on Youtube, watching a scant few second before closing them, not wanting to preview/spoil any more scenes that I already have. I’ve been playing the trailers on loops, I’ve watched Gotham Knights about sixty times now, I’m going utterly, pun-intended batshit here. I say that as of now the world beyond the 18th don’t exist and I just may be right.

But beyond my Batsession right now, it’s been the average life as usual. Despite picking it up over a week ago, I had only just really turned on and started playing my DS on Saturday. I played literally the opening cutscene of Phantom Hourglass before decided to stop fooling myself and popped in Pokemon Pearl. I still have my Blue game, from bygone days of yore, with my level 50-something Charmander who can kill your dad, but it was still a great little memory trip back, getting a whole new field of Pokemon and still finding myself fighting Zubats and Geodudes.
I fucking hate Geodudes.
I’m still in the beginning hours of the game, I don’t even have the first badge yet, and I may eventually crack and get the guide in order to, per instructions, catch ‘em all.
I have avoided it’s grasping grasp for many a year, but it’s finally reclaimed me. Damn you, addictive game that is a defining point of a generation. Damn you.

Work otherwise is slow. I’m still sore over the fact that we can’t watch movies anymore. Period, although I’ve been trying. I get why, I understand their reasoning, I get the message, but holy love of god I cannot spend 8 hours focused on one thing. I simply can’t. A half-hour lunch break isn’t enough to cool my brain, and music simply won’t do to keep the brain buzzing low. I’ve tried the audio book approach, but all that does is distract me from work entirely because I’m trying too hard to focus on the story being narrated privately to my ears. So what have I been doing to keep sane? Wikipedia.
One of the few sites unlocked to our prying browsers, I usually spend loading, exporting or any and all other waiting times (my computer is an ungodly sort of slow) popping on, typing in a random thing of interest and reading up what the common Internet knowledge is. I am becoming an expert on many useless, trival things. I’m mostly trying to stick to the entertainment field, but every once in a while I flirt with actual knowledge of the worldly kind. I’m becoming learned in the ways of our global village, and one day when I retain the words I’m skimming through to fight off boredom, I will be a somewhat fearsome force of facts. They will whisper my name in forums and libraries, dispute my publicly-submitted factoids with that of hard-bound encyclopaedias, they shall fight, flee and fear me, and when the day that my own Wikipedia article is submitted, I shall begin my task of ruin.
GodDAMN I just want to watch Venture Brothers.

GODDAMN I cannot stop listening to Space Oddity now. My addiction to Ziggy Stardust was bad enough, but now that I've got my hands on even more Bowie I've just been going nuts. I'm going to have to find out if my dad has these records at home. And then steal them.

Today was awesome Pancake Day at work. I made many a pamcake for the night crew, got some blueberry on my shirt (D:) and did something to my left index finger that's not a burn, but still hurts. It was fun and delicious.
And keeping with pamcakes, I saw Hellboy 2 today and it was stellar. There's a lot of mixed feelings buzzing around about it - a lot of people didn't like the love story (which, if I recall, was the exact same complaint the first time around) or that the plot was a little loose. I didn't care. It had clockwork robots, urban mythology and a troll named Mr. Wink. And Hellboy hitting lots and lots of things. Not to mention how motherfucking cool the whole movie looked.
Dissimilar to the comics it was, and a little too silly at times true, but I had a blast watching it and felt good at the end and sometimes that's all a movie has to be. Plus, it was a good tie over until The Dark Knight.
TWO AND A HALF MORE DAYS

It's like Christmas right now, I swears to ya. The anticipation is nearly over whelming. So far the plans are to get to the theater four hours ahead of time, although we're toying with earlier. It's already sold out and we want the best choice of seats possible and have no qualms waiting late. Now that I have a DS, I have all the portable entertainment I need.
Or I guess I could talk with my other friends there. If I have too.

In conclusion, I leave you with Sharkwar propaganda.

I would like to make it known that I am very tired. Exceptionally tired, if you will. Yet here I am at 1 in the morning and instead of being in bed like a sensible tired person, I am typing up on my livejournal to inform you all of just how fatigued I really am. It's actually not because of the LJ that I'm up - it's because of this bug, this little idea worming it's way in my mind like a laundry machine - active and buzzing while in the back of my head, but quiet and dead when I place my focus on it. It's making trying to get the idea down to paper excrutiatingly difficult, and I've given up and decided to just update the ol' blog instead.
Other than the stubborn idea, this week has been going incredibly well, almost to a point where I'm waiting for the meteor to crash down on my apartment to keep things balanced. I've purchased a large amount of books and I'm making enough money to afford it, I've gotten a DS and games as well, I managed to go kayaking, we've a chance to pitch show ideas at work and the TDK viral, while I missed it, was a grand ol' finale indeed.
It is, in fact, the shows bit that I think will balance out this seesaw of awesome and not - while the fact that we can submit ideas for the chance to make them reality is thrilling at it's dullest, I formulate ideas much in the same way a young child bakes cookies. I start off with an grand scheme, then I start thinking of everything else that would be awesome, then I get bored and forget it in the oven where it burns. That didn't really make much sense. My original analogy was better, involved gummy worms, but I think this overall just proves my point - I instantly forget the very metaphor I was going to use to explain how I instantly forget.

And the TDK viral. WhySoSerious.com has the major show down, and any and every viral website related to Gotham has been vandalised. I managed to get a friend to email me of any of the updates, and even not being there it gave me a nice little crawl of the skin. After some puzzling, which was not nearly as hard as some previous tasks, the final verdict was thus: http://www.whysoserious.com/kickingandscreening/. All of them are sold out (not that there was an Ottawa one anyway), but it was exactly the prize I was expecting. I still have my Thursday IMAX tickets though, so congrats to those who got to see it early, but I look at it this way - seeing it Thursday merely means that I only have one, instead of three, days where I'm not allowed to speak of the movie at all. Waiting to see it is much less painful, in my opinion, than waiting to talk about it after seeing it. Especially with all the excellent reviews it's been getting, I think not being able to discuss the movie with my friends for nearly a week would close to kill me.

This has been a good week, a very good week so far. Sunday I hung out at the beach with my friends AND got Spore to work. Then we watched Nocturna and played some Rock Band and just all around had a good time. We’re going to try and make it a regular thing, and I hope we do.
Monday then, I went to the store to grab a DS. Originally, I was going to return Spore and get a DS to make up for my disappointment, but even after getting Spore to work I just had to get the DS anyway. I grabbed Phantom Hourglass and Pokemon Pearl along with it, although admittedly I haven’t really touched it yet. This is mostly because I also got The Time Traveler’s Wife on the same day, and have been buried deep in it. Can you blame me? It’s a good book.
And because this is apparently a ‘spend a fuckton of money’ week, I also bought some Doctor Who novels (after that season finale, I needed some happy nostalgia - can only a few years count as nostalgia?) that got shipped in today. I also grabbed ‘Soon I will be Invincible’ to go along with them.
So that’s a DS, two DS games, four books and Spore working again, making Sunday and Monday two squares of :D! on the calendar. Then Tuesday wasn’t all that bad either. Read a little, cleaned the place up a little, and went kayaking, finally. I’ve gien up on trying to join the Canoe Club that’s in spitting distance of my apartment, opting instead to bike a little further to the Dow’s Lake and just rent a kayak there. They’re not awesome kayaks, but they’re only 10$ an hour and that’s good enough for me. So now I’m going to try and make that a regular thing.
Oh! And Tuesday? Got a nice little announcement at work on the prospect of Mercury looking for new pitches. Considering I’ve got a binder of ideas thick as my arm, the little announcement caught my eye and heart. Obviously I don’t want to pour as many things as possible out there at once, so I’ve been picking and choosing and then improving on my already existing ideas.
And the Wednesday I went and saw Wall-E again, and gosh that movie is better the second time around. I'm still boggling at the people who think it has a sinister anti-American/consumerist plot, or fat bashes or is 'progress-phobic.' Over-analyzing much? The movie was focused on acting and emotion, not making you feel bad for getting a tub of popcorn.
Anyhoo, I went and grabbed even more books today, burying me up in eyeballs with purchases. I also got in my swag from submitting to Gotham Cable News, which is a bunch of Citizens for Batman stuff, like a sticker that now adorns my laptop, and a key chain and stuff. So many free, awesome things for this movie :D ONE MORE WEEK, ladies and gentlemen. One more goddamn, blessed week.
At least I have Hellboy this weekend to hold me over.

Da da da da da da DAAAAAAAAA
Looks like we're heading for a big finale on... Thursday? Too bad I'll probably be at work. Spending my office hours playing the virals is one thing, but actually skipping out on my job to do so is just crazy.
That's not going to stop me from being disappointed though. Whatever's going on, it's the last viral before the movie. You know it's gonna be big.

OH MOTHERFUCK
MOTH-ER-FUCK.
FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK
I FINALLY GET LEOPARD, INSTALL IT ON MY MAC ALL FINE AND DANDY AND PREPARE TO PLAY SPORE LIKE A HAPPY LITTLE TWAT.
BUT NOOOOOOOO, I HAVE A POWERPC G5 AND THAT'S NOT SUPPORTED AND IT TOOK BE TEN MINUTES TO FIND THAT IN THE TINY LITTLE PRINT. MY COMPUTER IS ONLY TWO FUCKING YEARS OLD, AND THAT'S TOO FUCKING OLD FOR THIS FUCKING GAME.
I ESSENTIALLY JUST PAID 130 BUCKS TO UPGRADE MY COMPUTER FOR A GAME I CAN'T PLAY ANYWAY.
LEOPARD'S AWESOME. I'LL GIVE IT THAT.
BUT HOLY SHIT COCK FUCK PISS ASS BITCH FUCK. I JUST WANT TO PLAY SPORE. FUCK PC GAMES. FUCK THEM RIGHT IN THEIR 'YOU NEED THE NEWEST SYSTEM FOR THIS SHIT' ASSES.
FUCK EVERYTHING.
GODDAMMIT I HAD BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FOR MOTHERFUCKING WEEKS NOW.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

AaaaaaaaHH the viral!
It's upsetting now that I work where internet is blocked completely. At Collideascope and while unemployed, I could visit the forums whenever I wanted and devote the time to pay attention and stay on top of things, but now that I work internetless during the peak hours of when everything goes down, I'm missing EVERYTHING. The frustration, it burns. There's now a big meeting going on in NY and Chicago on the 8th, there's something where people could've uploaded voice clips, a lot of stuff's going on right now with the Citizens for Batman. I need to get caught up, but I'm too tired when I get home and I don't want to spend all day starting at a screen just to go to work and continue the screen starting. KBLARGH. I miss playing the virals.

I got Leopard today! Too tired to actually install it on the comp tonight, got to clean/back up things anyway just in case, so I probably won't get it installed until the weekend.
But then I can finally play Spore! Oh thank heavens. The box has been sitting on my desk, taunting me with my inability to play it. Stupid laptop being all crappy and unable to run the game.

And ONE MORE DAY UNTIL WHO OMGDFSDGISDFSDL I haven't been this psyched for a TV show in a very long time. Including LOST.

Oh damn this viral. Now that my prime internet-ing time is spent at work and I can't access the net from there, I've fallen behind. I'm digging through, trying to catch up, but there's so many little things I keep going back to make sure I haven't missed anything.
Joker phones texted a message last Thursday: "Short-Attention-Span Theater: Liar Thug Unsult Hut (-un)" and other various anagrams using the last 4 words. Mixing it up, it came to WhySoSerious.com/Laughtilithurts where there's a little game to play.
The code (pulled from game code digging ie cheating) to win is bgygbrgbyrygbgybbrbyg after which a ticket pops up. Said ticket then leads to this little video
There's also been a new Gordon email (which I didn't get, grumble grumble) saying
To all MCU personnel,

With the probe into money laundering operations of the Gotham mobs well underway, I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and ask you all to keep your eyes open.

We all know that the mob can be quite ingenious when it comes to money laundering schemes. MCU must be just as ingenious in trying to root these schemes out.

Please, in your everyday life – as well as your work on the job – keep a lookout for anything out of the ordinary that may signal a money laundering scheme. Overheard conversations, suspicions of stores you frequent, etc. Everything is fodder for this critical investigation.

If you have any leads, tips, or information that can help the Major Crimes Unit crack this murky network of banks, businesses, and the people who run them, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks.
Jim
As of yet, nothing has happened afterwards. Folks have sent the location of the static video to Gordon, but haven't gotten any replies back yet, so it's back to a waiting game while many various other little bits are getting updated - like cop emails and mob info and things like that, which are more of the 'offering small bits of information' rather than actually viral.
Gotham Tonight has updated with a new profile on Bruce Wayne, giving a little 'recap' of his origin, as well as some new information about what he's doing now. Gotham Cable News also has 'Batman Sightings' that you can send in, which I'll have to remember to do at the end of the week to get whatever swag gets sent out with this.
Pasquale's Bistro is a new site just discovered today. He's featured in the Wayne bit of the Gotham Tonight, with a kitchen backdrop that's the same kitchen were Joker addresses the mob. Calling the number, you need a code.

Then the Ha HA Ha Times updates, with the usual hilarious Jokerisms. Searching for links and clues in the vandalism gives us nothing, until Joker sends some new text message pictures, (that I honestly still don't get how they figured that out without going crazy) this time leading to Whysoserious.com/Redballoons. The game, which is won by pure dumb luck, leads to Whysoserious.com/Redballoons/Ineptlackeys.htm. The little opera clue gives us the code to Pasquale's Bistro, which is verdi and we get a little recording of the rescheduling Joker mentions.
Game wise, that's all for now. With the date for TDK getting ever so closer, we're clearly going to get something big in the next few weeks.
