Almost twenty hours into DDS, just after the first set of stuff at Coordinate 136. There are actual plot spoilers this time, so, read at your own risk.

Or, to quote the X Handpuppet Theatre: FORE-SHA-DOW-ING! )

I've tried to keep the ranting here to a minimum, but I need to froth at the mouth some for like...two minutes.

I've been feeling increasingly down about lab positions and my inability to find one. There are still faculty members I haven't e-mailed, but honestly, the thought of spending a whole afternoon reading papers to write an e-mail that I get no reply to (and which has a decent chance of having wound up being deleted without being looked at) just makes me want to cry.

This is not being helped at all by Yana, who got a great position with tons of help from me (as to why I didn't go for it myself - not my department), and now won't shut up about it. At all. I hate to say it, but the clueless academic with no life outside their research or lab is not cute or endearing, it's boring and irritating and makes them into the kind of people who don't get invited out at all because nobody wants to be around them. And it's doubly irritating when I have spent the last month trying to find something myself with no success.

I snapped at her yesterday - if she does it again, I'm going to be sorely tempted to hit her and/or throw things.

A Thought

Is there something about the name Jack that implies 'man-whore'? Because three of the five characters with that name I can think of would have sex with practically anything that moves, another one is debatable (Jack Sparrow), and only the fifth (Jack Skellington) is most definately not a man-whore.

RR!Jack is the reincarnation of Casanova, and accordingly has slept with half the characters in the game. Including Asher, because while he's less of a slut than most of the Jacks, his pants are not exactly hard to get into.

And totally, completely unrelated - if there is no Argilla/Sera bandwagon, I am forming one right now, damnit. Because I think it would be cute (and really, that's about the only justification I need for a ship).

More DDS

About eleven hours in, right after the first Anahata bit - not actually too spoiler-heavy, if only because no major plot-bombs have been dropped, but I'll cut anyway.
Mm, Atlus crack )

Nope, haven't forgotten to do a con report and what not, it's just been a very busy week. This'll be shorter than the usual con report, because, well, Kei-kon is smaller than the usual cons I go to.

Dear Yaoicon, please stop trying to guilt me into going to ToA.

I really do want to - it's Shoujocon, pretty much, and Shoujocon was my favorite little con ever. But I don't have $350 to drop on a plane ticket to San Mateo, and there are more people going who _don't_ want me to go than people who want me to go, versus Sakuracon, where I don't think there's anyone who doesn't want me to go.

And yes. This post is totally just me trying to justify my decisions to myself XD;

I just had a thought this afternoon walking home from Chem - much as Asher has a lot of traits that originated in various friends of mine or myself (although at this point, most of them couldn't be picked out by anyone other than me, save maybe his emoticon choice ;) ), his cat, Francis, is a mix of a number of different cats I've known over the years - he's about the same build and color as Yama-kitty (a touch lighter and bigger, maybe), he's got Emma's tendancy to treat people as furniture, and chews on everything like Bitey. Not sure where the whole 'attack cat!' thing came from, though XD;

His full name is Francis Alexander Demter-Haring the Third - as you can probably tell, Ally named him. Asher just calls him Francis.

Having now played through most of Case 4 of Phoenix Wright, I now suddenly see where all the yaoi for this series comes from. Phoenix? Gay. Edgeworth? Really gay (and endearingly pompous, but that's an entry for another day) This game? Gay gay gay. More so than Elijah Wood.

It's also wonderfully crack, and I'd probably still be playing right now if Matt's DS battery hadn't run down - hope someone has a charger >.> And yes. I am at Kei-kon, it is two am, and our hotel has free wireless. Which is inexplicably not loading some sites, but whatever. I should probably sleep.

Yes, my package of shinies has arrived, and with it, DDS1 and Persona 2. I've played through the first two hours of the former, so these are initial thoughts (I've also reached the 9th ep of Devil Summoner, but in the interests of keeping spoilers seperate, I'll save it for later). Non-spoiler thoughts: More Final Fantasy-ish than Nocturne, although not to the point where it's irritating. Nocturne and FF's bastard child, I guess. Combat is a slightly slimmed down version of Nocturne's, and less soul-crushingly difficult. It's also utterly gorgeous, and the music is awesome. Plot looks intriguing thus far, and it's only two hours in, which is better than some games *coughFF8cough* Now, for the more spoilery stuff (although, like I said, first two hours, so nothing too big):

Also, it's kind of long )

Yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] gamera, because I am bored. Some of these are very easy, some, maybe not so much. And there's a few older fandoms of mine in the mix because I only tended to have a small handful of things I'm really really into at a given time, which is less fun, as well as some things I'm a fan of, but not in fandom for.

1. Post a list of fandoms.
2. Have your friends guess your favorite character from each fandom.
3. When guessed, add to the list your favourite characters and a sentence explaining why you like them.


1) Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne ([livejournal.com profile] riddled) One with two - Lucifer: Sexy Evil Bastard, and man is he evil. Delightfully so.
2) Resident Evil ([livejournal.com profile] grayhour) Leon: Pretty without being girly, gigantic dork, consume Nice Guy - what's not to love?
3) Devil May Cry ([livejournal.com profile] grayhour) Vergil: Classy, and I have a soft spot for snarky uptight bastards with daddy issues
4) FF6
5) FF7 ([livejournal.com profile] riddled) One of the ones with two right answers - Rufus: Same as Vergil, largely and Tseng: All the loyalty with a strong side of sexy badass
6) FFX ([livejournal.com profile] riddled Braska: Pretty, and a total nice guy without being really naive.
7) X ([livejournal.com profile] bramblyhedge) Seishirou: Sexy Evil Bastard. And an assassin!
8) Cardcaptor Sakura
9) Torchwood ([livejournal.com profile] bramblyhedge) Ianto: See explanation for Horatio, pretty much. And he's pretty!
10) Yami no Matsuei ([livejournal.com profile] grayhour) Tatsumi: Cheap bastard, and a pretty one at that - totally a man after my own heart.
11) Hamlet ([livejournal.com profile] grayhour) Horatio: Many people have heard me ramble about why Horatio is the greatest guy EVAR, but basically - he's the sort of guy I want to be: smart, kind, completely loyal.
12) Fullmetal Alchemist ([livejournal.com profile] bramblyhedge) Roy: Snarky and wonderful!
13) Heroes ([livejournal.com profile] bramblyhedge) Hiro: Adorable nerd-boy ♥
14) House, MD ([livejournal.com profile] riddled) Wilson: Same reasoning as Braska (Cuddy's up there, though ^^)
15) Star Trek ([livejournal.com profile] bramblyhedge) Spock: My first fangirl-love ever. He's so wonderfully deadpan and smart.

Lucifer is totally Hitoshura's sugar-daddy. Also possibly Dante's, although Dante would never admit it. Hikawa wishes he was Hitoshura's sugar-daddy, but he is neither rich nor classy enough (this thought brought to you by the intersection of Milton and Chaucer in my brain).

And some Devil Summoner stuff cut for mild spoilers (end of Ep 4):
Mm, taste like spoiler )

So, my friend Justin is thinking about transfering from Engineering to Science (a move I fully support), and was talking about going down to talk to Engineering Student Services about it:

Justin: So, basically, I have to go and tell them 'I don't want to be raped up the ass by you any more, I want to be raped up the ass by someone else'
Me: Science uses lube!

And then today, I was talking to Justin about Kei-kon, and mentioned posting about it on our messageboards as an FYI for people in the club:

Me: ...It'd be like...the Wargamers invade UVic, or something.
Guy next to us: All I heard was 'Wargamers invade UVic' and I already think this is a good plan.

Seriously, I love the Wargamers. We've had mass sing-alongs to both Weird Al and 'The Ultimate Showdown', watched Rammstein music videos on Youtube, had discussions about about Dante's part time job as an exotic dancer (you know it's true. And it totally needs to be written. Or drawn), and regularly quote geeky webcomics.

And reading break, hooray!

Best way to spend Valentine's Day if you don't have a date? Chips + candy + booze + Boku no Sexual Harrassment + equally dateless friends = WIN!

We considered watching Enzai, but from what I've heard, decided we didn't have enough alcohol for it. BnSH is entertainingly bad enough. And then it turned out my file of the third part was corrupt, so as we re-downloaded it, we watched a ton of SNL Celebrity Jeopredy clips ("A leather glove!"), and Leon being tortured and dying in horrible ways. Jokes were made, cat macros were quoted, and a good time was had by all.

And I always use Valentine's Day to remind both myself and the world of how much I love all you crazy fuckers, so Happy Valentine's Day, guys! Have a song: Revolting Cocks - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy (Ministry sideproject covering a Rod Stewart song from the 70s - it fills me with perverse glee), and a card (care of VG Cats). Enjoy ♥

Got tagged by Elisha!
Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.
I suspect half you people know all this already... )

If I start contemplating spending more money frivilously, somebody hit me. And possibly cut up all my cards.

(Yes. I just dropped $110 on a Leon-jacket. Which is really a good price, and it's pretty much exactly my size, and I really will wear it as a winter coat. But I think this is hands-down the most I've spent on one item of clothing, ever. Even my leather trenchcoat, which was a _total_ steal at $75)

After looking over the exam period window, and realizing that Anime Boston was the first weekend of the exam period, I went 'Okay, no way am I going to have all my finals in the first four days of exam period - there's no way I'm going to be able to make it to this con.' Which sucks, because I was selected as a craftsmanship judge again and had to turn it down.

Well, the exam schedule was posted today. And guess when my exams are XD; One apiece, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, of the first week of exam period. And then I'm done. So. Depending on how job-stuff works out, I may actually come home in time for AB for two weeks or so XD; Though I bet the judge spot has already been given away, sadly. Maybe I'll e-mail the coordinator and ask if she's looking for any more staff - I would like to be involved somehow.

Neeeerd

Oh god, I am the biggest nerd ever. I'm the only person in my Chem class who's seen (or will admit to seeing, anyway) the classic Star Trek episode with the silicon-based alien. And even worse, while I haven't seen that episode since elementary school, I still remember the episode title - 'The Devil In the Dark'.

Success!

Early-morning ebaying has paid off - I scored a shoulder rig for Leon for $77 including shipping - given that new it's $160 plus shipping, and most of the ebay auctions have been ending around $80 plus shipping, I got a good deal. I am also ridiculously tired because I couldn't sleep last night, but that's what energy drinks are for!

Errands for the week:
-Dressew (need more leather scraps, pin backings?)
-Shopper's (rubber cement, insoles)
-Michael's/hobby store (black and gold model paints)
-Student Health Services (make appointment)

Today I've mostly sat around in my pyjamas, watched Heroes (which is excellent, more on that later), did some sewing and homework. It's actually been very nice - I think I just needed to sit and chill.

Although I think most of the people going already know, just as a vague heads-up - I am going to be at Kei-kon, and cosplay-wise, will be bringing Ada (which is what I've been working on touching up), although whether I actually wear it...eh, we'll see. And yes, I know. Kei-kon is tiny. I have had the tiny con experience (hello, Vericon!), and I don't mind it. Which means you can all stop going '...Kei-kon is really small, you know.' XD;

And now, off for some Atlus-crack, I think~ Not sure if I should play more Devil Summoner, or work on getting the TD ending. Or start a second cycle in Nocturne.
