Does this post have anything to do with text adventures? Honestly, not a thing, but I can't very well start using meaningful subject lines now.

So, I've fixed Deepest Sender, which means that I can post without having to use the horrible 'update journal' page and without having to use anything that won't live in Firefox. Yay me! The unfortunate side effect is that I fixed Deepest Sender today, ie, the day after the pretend zombie invasion.

I have a working LJ client. Now all I need is a gorram time machine to go back to yesterday and (try to) be funny. But no, no fictional zombie invasion for me.

Also: it's really very odd to type <em>me</em>.




In other news, my V:tM - Bloodlines has no downtown map. This saddens me. If someone a copy of la_hub_1.bsp they could upload somewhere, that'd be perfect. One from unofficial patch 3.5 or 3.6 would be even better, but I'd happily settle for a working copy that doesn't make me reinstall the whole game.

Ooh, mid-300s. Assuming one copy, two week loan periods and no overdues, that makes a best case of 600 weeks or about 12 years.

(And last time, the spoilers came before the book.)

So, instead, I'll adopt my own spoilers. My first one is that River's made of chocolate... and I'll bet you didn't even know that River's in HP7, which is how big a spoiler that one is.

The only McDonald's menu item I buy ever is the pancakes. Which I call pancakes, because I refuse to subscribe to their naming scheme. I am civil, and I am disobedient.

I know not the Max Brenner's of which you speak. I'd opine that it may be more cost-effective to drink hot chocolate at home, but it loses some of the 'hey, look, I preordered, bwahahahahaha' that you could visit upon passersby (or awed children who don't know about the magic of the preorder).

NOESSPOILED!

Though hell...is this the Firefly River? 'cause I could totally stand for her to be in HP. She'd kick Voldy's arse into next tuesday.

It is, indeed, the Firefly River. "River's made of chocolate" was a pretend spoiler for Serenity. And, yes - I'd love to have River kill Voldemort with her brain.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I am suddenly tempted to do my best to try to spread "River kills Voldemort with her brain" as a spoiler for HP7.

...I so need to make this into an icon...

If you need an enabler, you know where to find me. :D

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

:-D

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

...I'll start building your statue right away. :D

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

Can it have a mug of Milo?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It can! It can also have a post that's just waiting for HP7 'spoilers'.

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

I hope we get some more.

I'm trying to think of riffs on classic spoilers, but my head's pretty well stuck in editing-land.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

I will help with that. Immediately.

~Sor

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

OMG SPOILER.

(Well, okay. I'll be honest. I've seen leaked parts of the seventh book, and my all time favourite part is when Mulder and Scully come to investigate 'mysterious disappearances of school-aged children' in Hogwarts' vicinity, and Scully can see what's going on because she's a witch, but Mulder turns out to be extraordinarily Muggle.)

Max Brenner's is a 'chocolate café' -- an American concept readily adopted in at least three locations in Melbourne, one of which happens to be directly upstairs from the Dymocks where I've pre-ordered The Book. It is certainly far more cost-effective to drink hot chocolate at home, especially considering my recent acquisition of 1.25 kilos of Milo for $10, but Max Brenner's really do do a lovely job, and at the very least I will get one cup to take away.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I liked the preliminary draft where Voldemort starts by taking out this group of pretentious angsty vampires, but Anne Rice wouldn't allow it.

Seriously, who wouldn't adopt chocolate? And from whence came this bounteous haul of Milo?

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

I knew you were going to mention Anne Rice eventually.

I need more spoilers so I can make more icons.

The Milo came from Coles; o blessed supermarket, bringer of cheap chocolate milk flavouring unto the public.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Hmm... methinks I should make a post.

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

I think it's only for the best.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

...for certain values of 'best'. :)

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

Where 'best' means 'potential source of distraction while I'm trying to do some editing'.

I have Winamp, Word, Firefox, and Photoshop open; within Firefox I have exactly no editing-related tabs open, but I do have my 'Edit Userpics' page open.

I guess this might at least partly solve the problem of me having 44 empty icon slots.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

There's a fairly good chance of it, yes.

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

Seven new ones today. Six of them are spoilers.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Icon spaces are evil, and must be annihilated. Or something.

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

True that.

This is fun. I have killed seven icon spaces, and made a new friend.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Hooray! No longer can they mock you with their emptiness.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

This entire thread, and all the related icons make me want to bake each of you a large cake. With sprinkles!

As soon as I figure out how to send those over then interwob, I will.

*bows down before the awesomeness*

~Sor

[onetrooluff.livejournal.com]

Can I please, please use this icon, or make one of my own with the phrase on it? I would credit you for the complete awesomeness of the whole idea.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

You can, indeed, use the icon. I'm sharing like that. :)
