Dear Media,

Stop blowing the swine flu out of proportion. Most of the people who have caught it have recovered.

For God's sake, it's the flu, not the T-Virus.

Love,
Me

Your result for The Elemental Beauty Test...

Creative Beauty

42% Earth, 17% Air, 8% Water and 33% Fire!

Your two main elements were equal Fire and Earth.


Fire and Earth combination has the potential for a very powerfully creative spirit. Fire gives you the ability to act and your Earth side allows you to show tangible results. Your Earth element gives you the power to keep going while your fire side gives you momentum through self-expression. Yet Earth helps you keep the continous fire inspirations grounded so that you can remain focused and conserve some of your energies.


You may find that you have problems with this combination when it comes to being sensitive, as the combination may make you prone to being a bit insensitive or at least have that appearance. When you are focused toward a goal you have little concern for anyone or anything that might get in your way. You may need to pay attention to the desires and ideas you have, and look in toward your own inner life. The key words you need to remain aware of are steadiness, reliability, and productivity. These will help you find a beautiful balance in your life.

Not only a fanfic, but a crossover fanfic. On FanFiction.net, no less.

Specifically, it's a crossover between Doctor Who and Firefly. It takes place sometime after Serenity for the FF 'verse, and between "The Runaway Bride" and "Smith and Jones" for the Who 'verse. The author nailed the character's personalities, and the plot manages to be plausible for both series.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3486070/1/A_Life_Less_Extraordinary

If you are a fan of either series, it's a pretty good read.

Sometimes I wish the work computers had WoW or something on them. I've been sitting at work since 1:00 with hardly anything to do. But I am free in an hour! Wheeeeeee!

In other news, I have taken a test this morning. I don't think I did very well on it. I was actually late for said test, because I had forgotted to purchase a blue book for it. So I had to run back to the student bookstore, buy a blue book, and run back to campus.

Also, I have a new coat. It's a long, black Old Navy coat that looks very much like it should belong to a member of the Mafia. Now all I need is a fedora, and I have my Halloween costume this year. :D

So, yeah. Jack Thompson is disbarred. Gamers the world over may now celebrate. Because it honestly couldn't have happened to anyone more deserving.

Charging rape victims for their own rape kits? Seriously? Should we also start charging murder victims' families for their investigations?

Seems to me to be a nice little round of victim blaming here. Curse those women for tempting men to rape them!

Um, no. How about rapists learning a little fucking self-restraint?

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR RAPE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE VICTIM WAS WEARING, WHERE SHE IS, OR WHAT SHE IS DOING. THE ONLY ONE AT FAULT HERE IS THE GODDAMN RAPIST.

So, some asshole in North Carolina decided that it would be a good idea to throw a bag full of 5-week old kittens into traffic.

Seriously, how fucked up do you have to be to throw a bunch of helpless baby animals in the middle of the road? I'm glad that at least one survived, though. And she is adorable.

So, we were supposed to get a blizzard at some point within the next couple of days. It's supposed to be so bad that UWS preemptively cancelled classes for tomorrow. There hasn't been any snow yet, but there has been a fuckton of wind.

Looking out on Lake Superior is like looking at the ocean right now. I am not exaggerating. HUGE WAVES. The power also just flickered for a moment, and I can hear it whistling outside the apartment. The windows are shaking.

In other news, I present to you my new favorite cat macro:




4/11 Edit: And now it's a fullblown blizzard, which it became sometime during the night. Work has been cancelled, and there are no buses. When my boss cancels work at the OCB, you know things are bad.

Particularly since I've been sick for most of it. Seriously. I have been to Urgent Care twice this month. The first time was because I had developed an eye infection at some point during The Cold that Doesn't End. It felt like someone had placed several angry fire ants in my eye sockets. Then I went because I had a sore throat for the past two weeks. It's not strep, it's not mono, and it in fact has to do with The Cold that Doesn't End. Therefore, the only think I can really do at this point is ride it out.

I have managed to wrangle Sundays off work at the OCB, in order to have more homework doing time, and so I can work more with the campus newspaper. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

So, it seems that Resident Evil is getting the Advent Children treatment: Capcom and Sony Pictures are bringing out a straight-to-DVD CG movie that takes place a little after RE4. It has Leon and Claire, and looks very, very pretty. It's supposed to come out next spring. This is happy-making.

Yes, I have. Stupid cold that just won't go away.

Woo. It's final's week. Woo. I seriously can't wait for this week to be over. Then I won't be worrying about it that much.

So, my old computer died a little while ago. Thankfully, I had extra money in my account and was able to buy a new one. It's an eMachines with 1 gig of ram, a 160 gig hard drive, and Windows Vista. My friend Justin gave me his condolences on that last bit (though I haven't been having any problems with it...yet.)

I am going to be looking for another job, one that isn't Old Country Buffet. I have an application for the Whole Foods Co-Op that I shall be turning in later today. Yaaaaaaaaaaaay.

So, yay. 'Tis Halloween. This year, I'm going as an Old Country Buffet employee. Translation: I have to go to work. I am dreading it because I know for a fact that it's going to be an absolute madhouse.

I am going to apply for a job at Hot Topic. Mostly because they're hiring, it would be a better place to work, and hopefully they would pay me more money. Plus I'd probably get an employee discount. That would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I am also now the movie reviewer for the UWS Stinger, which you can locate at http://uws.stinger.googlepages.com. Yesterday, the entertainment editor told me and a friend (who does the video game reviews) that we were the ones carrying that entire section. I feel loved.
