Must... update... journal...!
-----
Saw Megamind on Saturday. Shortest version: Loved it! ( Longer version (cut for spoilers) )
-----
Making a pair of Squiddles for my brother for Xmas :Db I've got one finished already, and am working on the second. Magnets are involved for Tangle Buddy Action (though they are not electromagnets, nor are they particularly overwhelmingly strong).
In other crochet-related news, I finally have three shades of gray yarn ♥ Dark gray, medium gray, and light gray. Great for projects that require multiple shades of gray :Db
-----
I totally meant to post about the deviantART GenderFail thing, but then I ended up not posting for a week (again *facepalm*). And now I assume it's all over the web and, IIRC, "all over" in general, so. If anyone's still out of the loop on that, I guess I can let you know the basics/link you to the post in a comment or something?
-----
So! You may recall me mentioning Steam Powered before. Are there any of you who would be interested in the book but not necessarily the Special Extras mentioned in the edit here? The incredibly enthusiastic fangirl/collector in me totally wants all the stuff possible (SECRET SURPRISE! O_O Do want!), but I don't think I can quite justify buying four copies of the book for myself, and I'm also not sure I know another three people IRL who I could necessarily hand out copies to. (Though - maybe through the Quire? IDK, I'd have to think about it.) If I can get even two people who might be willing to buy one of the copies from me for ~$10 USD (maybe another dollar to take the edge off shipping), I would totally go for it.
Otherwise, I'll probably just get a copy for me, and then pine horribly for That Cool Stuff I'm Totally Not Getting - at least until something shiny (possibly the book itself?) distracts me. (Unless I win the contest, which would be beyond cool, but I'm not particularly counting as likely.)
-----
I'm sooooo behind on NaNo /)_(\ I'm wondering if I don't actually have an inherent words-per-day limit. I mean, yes, I know NaNo is about quantity and not quality, but uh. I can't seem to get quantity unless I also approve of the quality ._.a
Next year I should just do, like. The crochet equivalent instead. Crochet 50,000 stitches - or, if I'm really ambitious, 50,000 blocks/granny squares. Those charming Mystery Dungeon "portraits" are 40x40 pixels, after all, which means 1600 blocks/squares. A November crochet project could be just the excuse I've been looking for.
