Just found out there are two Dragon Age novels available which is awesome as I love back story. The first is called The Calling and is about The Grey Wardens and the second is called The Stolen Crown and is about the previous Kings fight to gain back the country's freedom and is a direct prequel to the actual game. Both are written by David Gaider.

I'll be picking up both of them once I get paid next week along with the second Mass Effect novel that I hadn't realized existed.

Had such a nice dream today - and instead of enjoying it while it lasts, kept searching for inconsistencies, due to a vague feeling that it's too good to be true, therefore something must be wrong. (Well duh! the mere fact that we were together had to be a major tip-off!) At the end, focused on the fact that he's supposed to be taller than me. This destroyed the illusion and woke me up - even not to the reality but to another, stupid and boring dream - well done :( Damn perfectionism ;)

In the happier news, back online. Unlike the previous incident 2 weeks ago, was mentally and technically prepared, and actually in a pretty good mood; had a bitching fit only once, during the dinner, and stopped on my own accord; spent most of the time writing. I even start to believe that putting limits on the Internet usage might make sense ;)

ok watching an episode of Ivanhoe with Roger Moore. 1958 ish.

Has he EVER played a straight man? LOL

Did my first word count verification of the NaNoWriMo website this evening. I really didn't think i was going to make my daily word count today but I got a brief second wind when I came upstairs and managed to complete a scene and just get a little higher than the suggested 35007 at this point. I do find having a NaNo themed wall paper on my desktop helps so much as does filling out the daily report card. It makes it all so manageable.

So I finished my first playthrough and got a fairly decent ending with Zavren as my lover and have decided to play through again. This time I'm playing as a human female mage and am well on my way to dating Alistar. I have to say he really is my fav character in the game as he's such a goofball.
I'm most likly gonna playthrough it from all the 6 starting points to see just how much things change.

Guess what surprised me in the middle of the night?

This explains why the sinus headache was so damnable (it's gone now, Thank Gods...I don't want to throw up anymore). Maybe the Dragon will behave until I get home from work.

For only getting 4 hours of sleep, I'm oddly awake.

It's creepy foggy out. 0__0

Thank goodness it's finished.

Turned the last of the revision into the advisor before the deadline. Can look forward to a restful holiday break.

blaahahaaahahaha

funniest thing today.

I just love it when they get the voices so well.

...I hate the shifting weather. My sinuses are not happy and I'm feeling nauseous. I thought maybe I could combat it with tea, but my grandparents have nasty tea and I nearly threw it up after a sip.

I'm exhausted. Today at work I was doing 'roaming reference' meaning I was walking everywhere, including up and down stairs. *falls over*

Also, my throat is really dry and I'm really hoping I'm not catching my boss' 'sick' or that I didn't catch something from the patrons. Considering I'm now in contact with hundreds, if not thousands of people on a daily basis it seems that all the hand sanitizer I use is a futile effort at best.

Ugh...I have to work at 8am on Saturday. Here's to hoping I don't feel like death.

sigh... yuletide person has rather minimalist LJ and no Dear Yulebat lettre that I can divine.

Well I guess I shall do as I please. :P

I've noticed that my usage of the word "lovely" is slightly unconventional. It's a high compliment on something artistic/creative which I appreciate specifically for brutality/violence/abuse/pain. This doesn't deviate from the standard meaning of "lovely" as pertaining to love and beauty, but probably implies a slightly uncommon perception of love and beauty. Maybe that's why the album "Liebe ist für alle da" had so precisely "clicked" with me.

Of course, in real life I'm not a monster or maniac, I think it's kind of my "stage image" - after all, most of the musicians, writers and other people of creative professions behave reasonably sane in real life, in spite of depicting all kind of darkness and atrocities in their art.

It's just that when your stage is imaginary, sometimes it's difficult to find where exactly it ends.
