Time for my semi-monthly journal update wooo!

Goodness, what did I do... all June? Work, mainly. I read a lot of books, goodness, so MANY BOOKS and played a lot of vidya gaems. Uh. Let’s see...

...no immediate adventures come to mind, but I’m sure I must have had some. If I recall any I’ll post them here at some later date. Aside from dodging cops with our ILLEGAL FIREWORKS and then blowing up a lot of stuff and narrowly avoiding death a few times for the Fourth of July, I can’t really think of much else that I did. (Don’t worry, guys, I DID dodge death, despite/with help from and )

Uh, finished The Military Form, which was very good, though I would have loved to see more into the Vang’s actual society. The glimpses I got were very interesting. Almost immediately after that sci-fi/horror masterpiece, I picked up a children’s Victorian sci-fi novel called Larklight, which absolutely blew me away. I wish this thing had been around when I was a kid.

I ended up finishing the series, which consisted of two more books (Starcross and Mothstorm) and loved them all immensely. The thing that impressed me most about these books was just how damn entertaining they were. The cop of Larklight I read had the inner cover decorated by the illustrator with faux adverts from the world the books were set in. The “about the author/illustrator” pages were also hugely entertaining, and even the acknowledgments got a huge laugh out of me.

They books aren’t too long, and the reading level is pretty down there, but they’re still a worthwhile read. Loved ‘em!

I also started the Teremaire series by Naomi Novik, recommended to me by , which I also love. Finally, a book about dragons and people riding on dragons that is not boring or dumb! Hooray!

...uh, what other books... finishing up the Dark Templar saga now. As for video games, I’ve been playing a bit more Spore. I also beat Halo 3 and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (which I took about a nine-month hiatus from, uh, whoops > > ). Halo 3 was pretty good, but left me wanting more. WoS was very good and very fun, but the very end (the Red Suit ending) was really goofy, and I will shout “LIKE A MAN” to my poor friends for many weeks to come.

If you’ve played the game, you’ll know what I mean. If not, I’ll explain it to you. XD

I also started re-re-re-re-replaying one of my ABSOLUTE

FAVORITE

GAMES OF ALL TIME

on my Wii, which is Super Mario RPG! 8D First RPG I ever played and probably my favorite SNES game. I’ve taken a hiatus from Fallout. Man, I forgot how much I loved SMRPG ; ; my favorite boss battle ever is in that game. The freaking... well, I don’t wanna say, ‘cos it’s a spoiler, but the game is very old, so if you SOMEHOW DON’T KNOW, don’t read the following text: the cake.

That’s my faaavorite~

Uh. Um. Been doing a lot of fanart lately, and y’all can expect more. I’ve also been reading a shitton of Dick Tracy (oh, man, these comics have so many lulzy moments that were not originally intended to be lulzy) so I might try my hand at a few short film-noir-in-space comics. I also wanna do some more writing, and am getting prepared for a new short story. :<

HMM. I SHOULD SAY MORE BUT IT’S WORKTIME MOTHERFUCKERS

SEE YA

I’ll make another post about movies I have seen lately and movies I am looking forward to, perhaps 8|

Also, the song I'm listening to is one a friend of mine showed me the other day while we were out driving and otherwise cavorting, and now I can't stop listening to it, grr. Temposharks seem pretty cool, and of course I LOVE Imogen Heap.

@w@ AHHH. Can't wait for Imogen's new aaalbum!

SHIT WORK OKAY BE FOR REAL
