A couple things

Teehee: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=201 I just spent far more money than I might have thought ordering a suit. Aren't formal weddings grand? Renting a tuxedo probably would have been cheaper. But then, it's not all about money. A wise man once told me a man should have a suit, even if only rarely used for such events. Thus I consider this something of a belated investment. We'll see how much wear I get out of it while it fits, though. ;)

A Labor of Love

I MUCK for recreation and fun. Yet there are times when it's just stressful and annoying, not fun at all. Those days make me think I need a new hobby. 'tis a shame I don't see much appeal in options that come to mind... In theory, I MUCK because: - I enjoy roleplaying. - I can RP at almost any given time online. - There are a variety of people and viewpoints to interact with. In practice, there are a handful of people who - whether through direct requests or more subtle interactions - take all of my available attention, so the variety isn't a factor. The lack thereof grates on me sometimes. I've always put effort into Furryfaire, though not as much or as overtly as some. A while back, I even volunteered my way into a wizard position.

More Quick Reviews

FFVII: Advent Children: Pretty CGI and a lot of over-the-top fight scenes. That's... about it, really. Oh, there's some plot, which is passable for what it is. If you're a fan of FFVII and your favorite character was someone other than Cloud or Tifa, you'll probably be disappointed as the others get little screen time and fewer lines. It was worth a watch to me and it's fair inspiration for Exalted games. X3: Okay movie, but really trying to tackle too much at once. Reasonable entertainment, just don't expect anything too deep. I keep thinking of arcs from the comics that could be so much better, but the movie writers keep wanting to go their way. If you watch it, for heaven's sake, stay after the credits.
