Tagging is Interesting

[active_apathy]

So, I've updated the tags on my first 150 entries. Random highlights so far include:

• The parental types telling me that I had to go to see RotS, with their rationale being that "missing Star Wars is bad for you" : 25/05/05
  
  
• My answers to the Scientology Quiz : 27/06/05
  
  
• The phrase nolite alere trollos - don't feed the trolls - which I may just have to icon at some point : 26/07/05
  
  and
  
  
• The bubbles-on-nose incident, in which I had an overenthusiastic bubble bath : 07/09/05
  

So, yay. Fun.

In slightly more current news:

Heroes is steadily eating my brain. Last night I watched episode 7, and I may further indulge in its particular brand of superhero!crack later today. Hiro continues to win the Universe, suitably evil things happen to the characters, and I was rather hoping that a Certain Character (who'll remain tactfully nameless) was, in fact, dead, because she's as boring as a staring contest between a blueberry scone and a banana muffin, but no, it wasn't to be.

With all due respect, of course, to blueberry scones and banana muffins.

I may just have to make icons. Of Heroes, that is, not the scones and muffins.

Also, Trauma Center: Under the Knifecontinues to be frighteningly addictive. I'm up to the third operation on the Secretary of Health, having been caught up in the 'one more operation, one more operation' thing until about 4am. And that, because a little voice somewhere in my head said "hey, you know what'd be fun before bed? Some surgery!"

So, yes. That continues to go well. I have two different icons planned for that already, and there may be more afterward.

Also, I have a plan for a crossover icon which may or may not involve the word Miranda. Ooohh... subtlety. And I haven't forgotten your icon requests, I just haven't come up with much to do for them (or, when inspiration has struck, it's been unworkable).

And... that's about it for the moment. Especially since there's some fictional girders to deal with.

Heroes = good!crack.

...Also, crossover icons involving Miranda intrigue me.

Blueberry scones FTW. Although banana muffins are good. Also, I'm curious to know which character you were hoping would be dead. There's one or two I want killed off as well.

The female cast isn't very strong in Heroes, unfortunately, perhaps with the exception of Hayden Panettiere. Or, at least, they aren't given as much to work with as the men are.

I just spent the last two hours playing Trauma Center: Second Opinion, which is essentially the same game as the original, but with some control modifications, episode title changes (one was changed from "Miracle at 9,800 Feet" to "Caduceus on a Plane"), and whatnot. I must say that I'm a bit addicted myself. It's almost as addictive as Wii Tennis. Almost.

Caduceus on a plane. Hee! *giggles madly* Do the snakes count if they're coiled around a stick?

But, yes. Trauma Center is crack. (And I went back and got my S for 'Miracle at 9,800 feet' yesterday)

Let's just say that the death I wanted was brutally taken away at the start of episode 7. Or, more explicitly, Niki.

But, no. They aren't. Which is somewhat saddening, but even the menfolk don't get as much as Hiro. And that's fine by me, because Hiro wins at superhero... ism. ness. Whatever ending is right.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It is. It completely is.

And oooh, don't they just. :D

If you're talking about the character I think you're talking about, she's a very, very useful blueberry muffin.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

The character I'm talking about is Niki, net!pr0n starlet of dooooom, and I'm not seeing a great depth of useful just yet.

[leila82.livejournal.com]

Heh, I don't like that character much either. And by "much" I mean "at all".

Hiro deserves his role, there's no doubt about that. I mean, Masi Oka's done a fantastic job keeping him from becoming stereotypical, while still keeping him completely lovable. But I think both Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia are given really good stories as well, and much more interesting characters. I adore the dysfunctional Petrelli brothers, and their extremely...touchy-feely relationship. And Jack Coleman, Claire's father, has an absolutely fantastic role too. Ali Larter seems to have a rather boring character, and I can't find myself getting interested in Tawny Cypress's Simone, either. Eden stopped sucking the air out of the room around episode 9, I think, but that's extremely late into the season, since we're only up to 11.

Now I feel like I'm due for a rewatch, or something. No, I'm not obsessed.

Yes, the snakes count when they're coiled around a stick.

Huh. When was she possibly-ded? I thought she was rather interesting.

Annoying, in a pull yourself together woman! kinda of way. But assuming all the assertive bits are residing in Jessica, she does have an excuse.
