More Pics!

Digging around on my cell phone and digital camera and found a few more pictures of some of my characters.  Hope you enjoy!

Nora Blake

from "Someone I Used to Know"

 Nora and Dogmeat mucking around the Super Duper Mart.  I don't think she'll ever have the Talon Company Armor in the story, but I love this shit in the game.

Wish this was better graphic wise.  Dogmeat and Nora have a staring contest.

Gloria

from "Resurrection Road"

Yeah, that's the side of my tv in the corner.  lol.  Sorry!

Et tu Modem? Part Deux

Jump for joy.  You know you want to.

Ladies and gentlemen (I think, I mean, do guys read my fanfiction, I don't know...) I do believe my computer problems may be fixed.  I don't want to jump the gun but today -- I'll save you from the technical crap -- I had it looked at and I think its finally going to behave.  At least it has for today.  I wasn't able to do much work because I had errands to run and whatnot, but it it continues its good behavior I'll be back in business.  Currently I have a pretty big to-do list, which is not making me a happy kitty.  Things have piled up pretty badly in the wake of my net crisis of 2011.  I have at least three different fanfics that I should kickstart or complete doing beta work for and hope the authors don't want to string me up and lynch me like a profligate.  With help from a friend I also think I have a good direction for Imperium et Libertas and should have some more written and posted on it soon, although the previously stated beta work needs to be the bigger priority. 

In other news I think I'm going to start writing reviews of fanfictions that I read on here.  I haven't decided if I'm going to do this weekly or just whenever the heck I feel like it, but there are a lot of good fics out there they may not necessarily be getting the attention they deserve or are just awesome and need to be shared more.  For the most part I want to do really good fic recommendations with this.  As of now I'm also behind on my story reading as well as writing and beta work but I already have a few fics in mind that I definitely want to throw up on a pedestal.  For niceness sake I may never do a negative review, but I can't promise that I won't eventually begin taking stories that need to be avoided or stories I think have potential and need work and giving a nice critique. 

Just kidding!

However, I don't want to sound like I'm all preachy and judgmental and I tend to be super pleasant and hate to hurt feelings so  I can't see me step up and go "that kind of sucks so stay away" in case I offend or hurt the author.  Secondly, I don't want to start flame wars over my own personal opinion.  I just don't like that shit.  We will see.  Let me know what you think about the situation and what you would like to see in some kind of fanfic-of-the-week column or whatever.  This undertaking is also just in the works now until betas are caught up on.

Hm.  I didn't want to make a super short blog entry, but I don't have much to say tonight and I have work to do.  Hugs to all.

E tu, modem?

This about sums it up.

All right.  I hate technology.  Okay so I love/hate it.  But I'm about ready to get the ultimate hate-on for it that will rival Caesar's Legion if it doesn't... stop... fucking with me.  This tale of tragic irritation began when we got our phone changed over to some "cable phone" bullshit, which just means it runs off cable internet.  MY cable internet.  In my room, on my modem.  My new modem, which is a douchebag.  Ever since we got it its been deciding to work only when it feels like it.  I have to do some fancy finangling to get it working again ... maybe.  Once again, if it feels like working.  So, I haven't got a lick of beta work done.  Okay, well, I got a little bit finished, but not any to brag about.  Since i use Google docs I can only work when I have an internet connection.  With it being constantly down, and for two days straight a couple days ago, I have little to show.  I'm writing this to let my readers -- and my beta peeps know that no, I have not forgotten about you or my stories that I am literally:

Having Technical Difficulties.

Someone shoot me, for this is getting hella annoying. Oh, and if we have to call the guys back in I'm going to have to rearrange all my chords and electronics so they can fix this shit, which means another day or two of cleaning the room with my computers in it and doing some organizing.  I have a very cluttered office.  >.>  This means more time I have to spend away from my computer and my work.  Pissed off doesn't begin to cover it.

Oh code cat, how I wish you were real...

Fuck you technology.  What I need is my own platinum chip to upgrade my computer systems.  Alas, that isn't real.  Where's a genius like Robert House when I need one... Or at least someone with a high "science skill."

F M L -- for the current moment.

(And somewhere in the netherworlds of imagination ghost Benny is smiling down and laughing quoting, "it was all rigged from the start -- yeah, rigged wrong."  Thank you, Benny, thank you.  Now go bother the Courier.  I think he/she misses you... I sure as hell won't.)
