P.I.N.K.
Okami is one of the better games I've seen in a long time...but that layout, had to go. Maybe it was the colors. Instead of the natural I wanted I got something that seemed kind of bland. I went from vaguely disliking it to flat out hating it. Basically, I've decided to revert back to a color scheme more like my L design.
I present to you, Year of the Cat. Again mostly black and white with highlights, but a bit starker than L. Actually I like contained blogs in tables. (Chris thinks they're stuffy) Originally I was going to throw in all sort of vines that would hang off the wire frame of the actual table. I couldn't find a way to do it without the center being way too busy for my taste. So now you have this...fairly simple, pretty unadorned. Hence the Zen notion...and for some reason looking at this makes me think of a tea shop. O.o It might be the image I have behind the text. Lupica is one of my favorite tea stores and they have a logo a bit like that. Seriously...don't ask, it just makes me think of tea.
We hacked through the promys for Magoo last night. Every time we do these...Kai and I swear we'll never touch them again. It seems to be a tradition though. These are to put it mildly a PAIN IN THE ARSE, but Kai did it for me when I came back even though it was near suicidal. I owe it to my friends to help them through it. (Even though I can't hold hate for beans without the rest of my jitsu....hatehatehatehate for pre 40)
P.S. I don't need no template!

Blue Pot of DOOM
Mou, it's been a while since an honest entry. I've been meaning to and meaning to enter a bunch of images from the past few months. Just like this was orginally meant to be, a journal about FF. Doesn't work that way.
The images are there, and they do show moments worth mentioning, but...I haven't been in the mood. It's weird, they're good memories but they're more...filler. Chris has been gone for a while now and we all know that. A bunch of the images are from his last party with us. I've got other images of conversation bites. Random things, but I'd rather tell things fresh. Worth mentioning; see below. (I will eventually put in the screen shots)
The Tale of Uber Pot
As we were in sea trying to wrangle the skill Vertical Cleave for Kai, we wandered. (For the flowers are stupid sparse) Admist our wanderings, we encoutnered ...a pot! That's right, one of those stupid looking urn things with an eye painted on one side. Bravely we engaged the pot, smiting the stupid thing despite it trying to paralyze us. After our hard earned rest, a pot spawns on us! A big freaking blue pot- and not just any pot! For we had spawned UBER POT. (aka Jailer of Temperance- pain in the arse pot NM) After discussing the matter we decided it would be in our best interest to run...really fast. So bravely I threw on my flee and bolted- and yet I had forgetten that I was running in dusk gloves. Yes, the gloves that give you a -12% to movement! ...Yeah we ate it <.< Story over...but now you know the story of UBER POT.
Yeah...stuff like that is fresh in mind, but that's not really the only reason I suppose. My uncle recently passed in a less than kosher circumstance. I give a nod to him, and ask him to look kindly on a selfish girl. I'm sorry uncle, not that it does much good now. I should have spared you a thought over the last few years, forgive me.

Ah...I haven't updated in a while. I will, I've just been distracted lately. Tired.

Musings
I was explaining to a friend (pervert) Corsairs, and the dice.
Me: Depending on the number I roll, they get better effects. Number 11 is the highest possible number to roll so that's going to give the biggest boost.
Unamed Perv Friend: So...
Me: Yeah...?
UPF: It's like hitting the sweet spot in sex. Cool.
Me: dot dot dot <.<

Rant Rant
This is the Asi speaking. After much freaking tweaking by Chris and myself the coding seems to be working. Though I basically stripped the entire thing back to skin and bones. Chris found a fun code that should have given me a pop up when anyone hovered over the Okami logo. I don't know why but it wasn't working...I'll have to bug him for the base code later. It's really too neat not to eventually put back in. (Geek mode GO)
My obsession with getting this to look right has taken the better part of oh...two weeks. Mostly because of two reasons. I'm lazy, and I'm lazier. And now for the entries!
Magoo, taru, old friend, fish thief. His birthday was last Thursday and he's about to turn 60. (Level 60 people, not age.) We won't be leveling Monday so I'll have to see about getting his limit break for 60 done. Also going to have to see about getting him an Ose Jerkin. I don't care if it's ugly alright? That's a good piece or armor and with thief af and his natural pudgyness he'll make an awsome pumpkin.
Clur got his funny Moblin boots somewhere along the way but still no pants. According to Alex the bcnm has a higher drop rate for the pants with the more people you go in. Sadly the usual set up is Chris, Kevin, James, and myself. We just don't know anyone else who can help us. As often as we've tried 4 is the bare minimum needed to beat the captain and it's hard to drag people out there with the required access. I'll have to see if anyone else is willing to help now if the more the merrier rule is real. I'm vaguely wondering if Barbarrosa's gloves are worth it for myself...nah.
Also, Death Note live movie obtained. LEGALLY ....uh, sorta. *^^* Anyway, moving away from how I got it...it's not that great. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the first few minutes was, "Damn, Light is...fluffy." It's just such a disappointment from the anime and manga. Light's personality just got screwed, not to mention the guy playing him has a really bad haircut. Light's suddenly in love and bordering neurotic, he's into basketball with friends and very touchy with his family. He's not cool and cold anymore, he's some freaking kid. L is...well pasty. His sweet obsession gets pointed out in every single freaking scene he appears in though. Scene one, he's got marshmellows/candy/jellies/something that makes me diabetic just from looking at it. Scene two, he's inhaling a chocolate bar and adding sugar to some hot chocolate. Scene three, he's still drinking the hot chocolate except now he has two dishes full of ice cream. I think the guy playing him gained ten pounds just from snacking on it all, that or a cavity. The acutal movie covers the first two mangas. However Light's now a full college student and Raye's fiancee is actively hunting him, conviced that he's Kira. In fact the first time they meet she accuses him to his face and then kills his girlfriend. The story is still about Light staying just one step ahead of the people tryng to catch him, but it's got none of the real plot or twists of the anime/manga They do try with the death of his girlfriend to make him more calculating but it just seems like he's psychotic. I'll send or upload it for anyone who wants to see, but don't waste your time getting this from a torrent.
And a side note to the Virgil rant. It's not really much of a rant anymore so I'll just tell a story.
A wolf walked alone and hungry down the road. Along the way he met his cousin the dog, "Cousin come with me, I have meat waiting for me at home. And a warm place to sleep." The wolf noted how sleek and well fed the dog seemed and agreed. It seemed to the wolf that this was not such a bad deal and talked with the dog about working for his master. As they walked along chatting, the wolf spotted a bare spot on the back of the dog's neck. Naturally curious, the wolf inquired about it. The dog remarked, "'Tis nothing. The collar my master puts on at night has rubbed off the hair."
With that the wolf stopped and bid his cousin a fond farewell and again began travelling the road alone. He might never be as sleek or as well fed as his cousin, but the wolf would have his freedom. A part of him would never abide the collar and leash, so he quietly made his way along, content.
To Clandestine: For all my crap you put up with, and for all the gear you've helped me get. Woof.
P.S. FU SE, it IS your servers' fault. Now fix the god damn thing.
