Do you know I had completely forgotten I had a LiveJournal still until someone posted a comment on a year and two month old post about the design? Oops. Uh....if you've still got me on your friends list I still exist. Work trip to Morocco, regular Shadowrun game, got to meet my niece Rachel, Colin/Boo/Thorn graduated, got to give Jackal's fiancee the seal of approval (she's seriously quite cool and sane, no I have no idea what she's doing with him either ;D), going to Otakon again this year with/to meet online friends from CoH, in general, life is pretty cool :)

Well I'm not. I have nothing of terrible import to say, so here, have some random thoughts that unlike the rest of your friends list, has no mention of 300.

Redoing a room is a pain in the ass. Painting was slightly irritating. Pulling up carpet was frustrating. Pulling up tack boards and carpet padding staples often resulted in cursing and injury. The severity of damage to the underlying plywood was measured against the utter disaster waiting to happen if we had to replace structural components and it was deemed okay to leave the plywood. We may regret this later. Thankfully the laying of new laminate flooring and baseboards has gone fairly smoothly.

I'm going to Otakon this year. Gencon usually won because of a free place to crash. That's been offered this year for Otakon, and frankly I'll enjoy it a lot more. If you'll be there for any reason, let me know.

I'm still having a great time in City of Heroes.

I have a deviant Art page, its full of links to commissioned pieces of art of my characters from other people and the odd drawing or two of mine. eris-kai.deviantart.com if you're bored.

Oh, and I have a Wii, and Zelda, and I really need to play it sometime. And get a second controller.

Yeah I don't post much, busy with work and IRC and CoH and now Vanguard. I'm Xephia Erikai on Beta 2 if you're currently playing, over in Kojan making stuff and singing :)

Enjoy!

That's really about all I can say, nothing real exciting is going on here, just City of Heroes/Villains, art (eris-kai.deviantart.com), work, and other nonsense. So some random statements.

Got rid of Trish's oldsmobile that got left here years ago finally.
I'm having fun with art.
My hair's bright red, and I think its cool.
I also think Vanguard looks good, even if the minimum specs say you'll need 24 Gigs of Hard drive space. If anyone else is watching that game, poke me, I'm pondering finding people at $5 a pop to go in on the Collector and Guild Edition if it ends out being something I want to get involved with.
I think I want to try for Otakon this year.
Starting up an SR4 game, looking interesting so far.

I'm tired. The quick version.

+ experience as a coordinator. Goddamn gamers are a disorganized group of people
+ knowledge of SR4
+ 1 copper and red jewel necklace and earring set that's very phoenixy
+ 1 bendy shoulder dragon, white flock scales and silver accents
+ 2 dragons to be made with nifty fabric I took her
+ lots of business cards from the lady who made my black wings for Haibane Renmei fans who want grey ones
+ 2 quartz d6s to go with my hematite and amber ones
+ really sore feet for being stupid on Friday
+ Street Magic
+ SR4 GM Screen

- respect for MARTA for making me 30 minutes late for a game I was running because of no good reason except 'train will be delayed at this station'. Twice.
- $11 in MARTA tickets
- $5 in ghetto parking costs for being an idiot on Friday and driving down to the con. Ow my feet.
- Sleep. Lots.
- 1 aqurple d6 :(

Watch. Just click on the link and watch the pilot. Its almost worth getting cable for, its that awesome.

You do too, I'm sure

( I suppose I'll deal with the unicorn if I get to make those laws... )

Roly Poly makes salads now. I know, you're thinking why does this matter, and so I will tell you, right now I'm eating a grilled chicken and monterey jack cheese salad with mushrooms, sundried tomatos, and cashews with sesame dressing which is both totally okay in my attempt to get back with the glycemic index stuff and tastes awesome enough to make me forget there's a gallon of cookies and cream ice cream in my freezer that I can't touch.

This is actually really cool.

I like being female. I know I don't often act like a girl, I don't dress like one most the time, and would take playing DOA and looking at cars over makeup and chick flicks, but all and all I wouldn't want to be a guy instead. There are times though when I would love to be able to walk to the side of the clothing department with reasonably priced clothes instead of having to pay $45 for a swimsuit and spend an hour looking for a simple, non jeweled, non stenciled, non strange fabric plain damn white tank top and having to end up paying $20 for it. I hate buying clothes.

Things and stuff in no order of importance

1) http://kai.blackboxchaos.com <-- Finalized the glass effect, which means I can get moving on finding a layout I like

2) http://kai.blackboxchaos.com/pics/junthorns.jpg <-- fun with 3 photos and my tablet for a character pic

3) http://www.megagear.com/photos/MT%2006-5007-2T.jpg <-- Pic stolen from Megagear, cause I don't have any of our own yet. Dave and I have been making those, its called a Persian 3 in 1 weave, and we can make them with blackened or regular stainless steel for the metal links and red, blue, or black for the rubber rings. You want one, or several, $5 each. Let me know :) Dave's got a blue/stainless and I've got a red/black I'll try to get pics of soon.

If you have any other things chainmail you'd like (take a look at some weaves at http://www.mailleartisans.org/weaves/index.cgi) we can probably do it, though I'm still butting heads with captive ring weaves. Along with the above colors/types we have some bigger copper and etched aluminum rings and smaller orange anodized and red anodized aluminum ones.

You know, the MegaMek server, web IRC frontend for #blackbox, bot home, local file server, etc that I said I was making ages ago. Hardware ordered.

ECS 741GX-M(V1.0) Micro ATX Motherboard with AMD Athlon XP Mobile 2400+ Socket A cpu, 1G ram, 250G Western Digital HD. It will be going into Purgatory's current Antec Solution case while Purgatory gets a case upgrade to the very nice Raidmax X-1. w00t for front audio jacks.

Beta 1 is up. It looks very smooth. Demo at http://www.phpbbhacks.com/phpbb300/

In my fruit salad, there is watermelon the color of canteloupe. This really weirds me out.

...I had to stop cause I need lunch...had the place mapped and know where the healing shrine is...was only 7 monsters left but one was a cockatrice that'd probably turn me into stone...

Because sifting through it all is uneccessary for some, quick version, I totally flunk being girlie, but we knew that already, 26.5%
