Where Is the Edge?

So addicted to the new Within Temptation album. It's bad...I MEAN AWESOME. I think they are exponentially getting better, though I'm not sure if I like The Unforgiving more than The Heart of Everything. Largely debatable I think. I like all the songs on The Unforgiving, but some sound almost the same to me. All the songs on The Heart of Everything sounded distinctly different to me. I'm just excited that they have provided more music.

Also, they have a comic based on this album. I'm tempted to look, though, other comics for other artists and bands have been pretty sub-par.


Anyway. Who's been chain viewing my blog? I got a random spike of activity yesterday for no adequately explained reason. I'm sure it wasn't anyone I know. I'm also sure it wasn't me (my own views are turned off and I haven't been here in days)...so hi random viewer. Welcome to my insanity.

Now, the reason I actually made this post was to give an update on my portfolio. It's been submitted, and I'm terrified. I'm not convinced that the writing quality was good enough. I also looked at my final story from last year. It's terrible. Well...yeah it's terrible. A lot of it works on MY logic, not the logic of everyone else. I think a large challenge for me this year will be to check for illogical aspects of my stories and to move away from the styles I'm comfortable with. It'll be hard. I just need to get in first.

Cross my fingers.

40% = 100%

At least in the Fire Emblem world. Playing on hard mode is like being slapped in the face. With a fish.

Over and over.



Quick update because I'm quite ill and extremely tired.

I was reading Dan's interlude again on the train the other day and came across a lot of HORRIBLE typos. It was terrible...extremely terrible. For instance, I used "you're" instead of "your" in one sentence. That nearly killed me to read. Yes, I feel the shame.

At any rate, I went back and read it one more time to fix the really terrible parts. It still needs work, but it's readable. I realized the free-running part and the end of the chapter are actually not bad. I'm pretty happy with them. The beginning needs to be completely re-written I think, but that's not too serious. So I have a prettier version of the chapter now, which makes me happy.

Also, the new Within Temptation album is awesome. That also makes me happy. Now I'm off to sleep.


Or write some of my portfolio material...




Nah I'll just sleep. I still have five days.
