ang griffen's journal

I am slowly but surely unlocking things in Lego Batman, which I have started playing again for no good reason. I actually found the final missing minikit canister in two scenes in the past week, and finally actually finished the minigame version of Gotham Streets (Villain), although not with a good enough time to unlock anything. Blah blah blah, I am bad at videogames.

I am less bad at Echo Bazaar because the point is doing stupid things and seeing what happens. ( Example! )

Tonight, Evan Lysacek did a "futuristic" dance on DWTS in which he and Anna were vaguely robotic, and Anna was possibly Leeloo, and Evan kept doing terrible robot voices in the training segments. And the same day, baylop wrote The Most Important Thing, which is a story in which Evan Lysacek is secretly a robot. He has little robot feelings, and I realize that that sounds totally condescending, but whatever, it's Evan Lysacek, and the actual story was sort of bittersweet and I love stories where people are secretly robots. The story has a lot of issues with homophones, so if that sort of thing bugs you, beware, but I enjoyed it. But again, robots and my feelings about them.

I have been failing to finish the last Fionavar Tapestry book, and I don't know why, because I want to know what happens. Possibly because I am sure things will somehow manage to get worse and more tragic for our intrepid heroes.

Today I also got my weekly e-mail from my comics shop telling me what comes out this week. I AM SUPER EXCITED about this week's comics. I hope they don't suck!

edit: Some other things! I am going to be slowly working my way through the comicsbigbang stories over the next however long, and it might take me a while to read all the ones that sound good, but I WILL READ THEM EVENTUALLY OKAY.

I am shortly going to start sorting out who I'm following on Dreamwidth and start taking people off my Default View on LJ so I'm not getting double posts by looking at both friends lists. I'm also going to start, like, actually giving people access/subscribing back on Dreamwidth, which I have been bad about doing because I don't get notifications like I do on LJ. I'm not ignoring you, I promise!

So today my co-worker wanted to talk to me about Dancing with the Stars, which is hilarious because she is very much not the sort of person who I thought would be into DWTS. Anyway, she is also a total Ochocinco!wife, and also really on Team Pamela, so we had a lot to talk about, but my favorite part was when she was like "I really want to like that figure skating guy, but he's just so... robotic."

And I had to tell her that he actually has like a hundred times more emotions on DWTS than he does in actual figure skating things and she did not believe me. My point here is that I need a story where Evan Lysacek is an actual android so badly.

In magical telepathic horse news, I am partway through Winds of Fury. So far the best part is Skif being all worried that once Nyara is around lots of other people she won't want to be around him anymore, and Ghost!Stefen being like "QUIT BEING SUCH AN ASS, ASS." Bard Stefen, you are so great.

Also, I would read Dawnfire/Tre'valen/An'desha. However you'd make that work. I like how Dawnfire and Tre'valen are actually married on the astral plane, by the way.


IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR DC COMICS PEOPLE: Can J'onn Jonzz phase other objects with him, or just phase himself?
