I seem to have caught the same disease Hunter and Alissa have and my internet cuts out every 30-60 minutes. It’s not router-related, and the tech seems to agree so he’s sending someone out…

… next year.

Yes, the soonest Shaw can come in January 12… after my vacation. The guy assured me, however, that because of the way their scheduling works, I’ll be able to get someone in sooner if I call between 7 and 8 am tomorrow.

So Sky’s gonna do that, because, well, I work between those times and I don’t have time to be on hold for an hour, especially when it’s the day before my vacation.

I usually have high praise for Shaw, but… ugh.

Stolen from an LJ I lurk on. (http://gallo-de-pelea.livejournal.com/)

Try to write different categories of fic in 10 words or less.

Here’s a dictionary of fanfic terminology. If there’s a request, let me know.

Note: There is softcore porn in the last prompt. Also, not all of this is canon.

This was harder than it looked.


Angst
Surrounded by death, Zyrath truly felt in his element.

Fluff
Nana smiled happily as the barista prepared her caramel latte.

UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension)
Kevin normally would have pulled away from Gina… but he didn’t.

Humor
Kareem grinned at Ralf. “And who’s the window-breaker now?”

Hurt/Comfort
“It’s okay, Tukumon… we can get some more ice cream.”

Adventure
Christopher dodged the trap and kept running for the door…

AU (Alternate Universe) or Crossover
Krysit ran towards the Esparion barracks, eager to begin training.

Romance
Zack gently held Deidre in his arms, treasuring the moment.

Crack
“Are the squash cannons armed?”
“Yepperoonie!” Finwickett grinned. “FOR GNOMEREGAN!”

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

US essayist & poet (1803 – 1882)

I’ve been meaning to blog for quite a while, but I just haven’t had the energy to do so. I actually haven’t had the energy to do much at all except to veg in front of the vidja games, something that’s actually bothering me quite a bit as I’m not usually this apathetic.

This apathy has crept up into roleplaying, too, and I haven’t posted for my TWEWY game in a couple of weeks due to that and the blehs caused by the antibiotics I’m on (the last dose is at bedtime and not a moment too soon — they make me fart like crazy). No one seems to be saying anything about it, so I don’t know what to think about that.

I don’t know why I’m this crabby and blah… maybe I need a tan.

Mm, tanning.

Christmas

I generally got what I asked for — money. That’s good enough for me. Had my parents over for Christmas and I’m surprised at how tight our planning was for baking and cooking. I guess we can do stuff when we don’t procrastinate our asses off…

We have WAY too many leftovers, however, and I don’t know how we’ll get through it all.

Phone

I hesitated to talk about this since I know a couple of people have been pining for one, but I’m getting an iPhone tomorrow as I’ll finally be upgrade eligible as of tomorrow. The catch is that I don’t have very many upgrade credits on my account, so a 16gb iPhone will cost me $449.

Ouch.

I do need a new phone, however, since the warranty just ran on mine; the camera on it is dead, the phone freezes randomly, and the keyboard is cracking. I hope that the iPhone can handle quite a bit of abuse, because I’m planning on abusing it like crazy. I’ll be smart and get a screen protector and a good case for it, though.

The Vidja

WoW has been pissing me off lately because of the increase to the level cap. I feel forced to play Syseska even though she’s the last character I want to play. I’m having severe altitis at the moment, and I’m currently working on Zyrath (Forsaken Rogue, 45), Kaelestia (Blood Elf Death Knight, 59) and Finwickett (Gnome Warrior, 18). I’d really like to get Cielle (Human Priest, 48) to level 50 for Inscription, too, but that’s a huge pipe dream.

I’m poking at Dragon Quest IV when I have a chance. It doesn’t help that I’m in Chapter 2 at the moment and I never liked it to begin with… now I have to deal with Chapter 2 AND the fake Russian accent. Ugh. Hoping to plow through so I can get to the goodness of Chapter 5…

Vacation

I’ll finally be on vacation between January 1st and January 11th. I’m planning on marking the occasion by doing a whole lot of nothing.

That’s about it. I’m planning on doing a State of the Cas on that Other Blog of Mine, though who knows when I’ll do it…
