livin' the dream!

I got to write a blog for the library's website! :D I got paid to write a
blog!!!!

Most of you probably already know the story about how The Beatles led me to
my career, but if not, you can read about it here:

Come Together at
the Library

Now to figure out exactly **what** I'm going to do at my Beatles program!!

today's question (and a call for more questions)!

If you could say one thing to someone you admire (be it someone famous or someone you know irl), who would it be and what would you say?

Wow...well, I've already fangirled at Joss Whedon and Felicia Day in real life, so I know what I would say to them. Apparently I would cry opening and mumble unintelligible things about how awesome they are and how happy their existence makes me. So who is next?

So if I had a time machine, I think I would go find Jim Henson and thank him for creating The Muppets. Or maybe Douglas Adams for making me love reading.

Yeah, I dunno, who do I admire?? I adore Kristen Bell but that's just because she is awesome. I guess if I met her I would say, hey you are awesome. Same with Jennifer Lawrence. Just say "hey, sup, thank you for being awesome."

I need more questions for the month!!

video game problems

There needs to be a Sniglet for when you've been away from a video game for awhile and you try to jump back into it and your just shite at the controls so you die over and over and have to contemplate restarting.

I completed the main storyline for Tomb Raider a few weeks ago. It was my Christmas present game so I have been working on it since Dec 25. Today, I attempted to go back to some other games. lostacanthus and I were trying to think of things we could do together then blog about and she suggested playing Dragon Age and blogging about our characters and experiences. So I thought I would fire up Awakenings for a little bit and see how it went.

Badly. It went badly. The Darkspawn wiped me out 5 times in a matter of minutes. It would have been over sooner if the loading screens went by faster.

So I thought I would go back to Dishonored, which I started a little bit before Christmas. Unfortunately, I left myself right in the middle of things and have forgotten ALL of the controls. After playing a trigger happy adventure game like Tomb Raider, going back to a game that emphasizes stealth was a bad idea. I accidentally fired my crossbow while trying to crouch, used up my health stuff, and instead of disarming a bomb, I set one off right in my face, causing the entire group of thugs around the corner to find me. **sigh**

I think I might have to just scrap it and start from scratch so I can relearn the controls in the easy environment. Dragon Age...well, I might have to really go back to the beginning there. Or at least finish my game in DA1 so I can import my warrior dwarf Warden.
