I am both rational and instinctive. I value self-knowledge and understanding of the world; my ultimate goal is self-improvement and improvement of the world around me. At best, I am focused and methodical; at worst, I am obsessive and amoral.

The sorcerer is the arcane antithesis of the wizard. Wielding raw, barely contained magical power, sorcerers channel bursts and blasts of arcane energy through their bodies. They gain their power not through rigorous study of esoteric tomes, but by harnessing magic in their blood, waiting to be tapped and shaped. If wizards wield magic as fighters wield swords, a sorcerer's magic is the arcing greataxe of a raging barbarian.

You might be a proud dragonborn scion of ancient Arkhosia, calling on the draconic power of your heritage, or perhaps you were bathed in dragon blood as an infant to fill you with that power. You might have been born in a place where planar forces converged in strange eddies, infusing you with chaos, or perhaps you survived implantation of a slaad embryo, which left the taint of chaos upon you.

Magic pulses through your veins, calling on you to give it expression. As it grows ever stronger, will it consume you or transform you into magic incarnate?

Avatar is awesome, 9/10.
Without a doubt th e most realistic CG ever made. Just astounding visuals.
Quatrich is a fucking bad-ass marine.
My only issue was that the ending was kind of deus ex machina. Even with the possible explanations for it. And Jake's original flyer kind of disappeared...

"Opening to critical acclaim, it grossed an estimated $27 million on its opening day and an estimated $77,025,481 domestically on its opening weekend. Worldwide, the film grossed an estimated $232,180,000 on its opening weekend, the ninth-largest opening-weekend gross of all time, and the largest for a non-franchise, non-sequel and original film." -Excerpt from Wikipedia

Only one manuscript left to proof and then I move on to the next batch.
Also got a few more words down on my WIP.
EvilGrin
You know, after Kodomo no Jikan and Domina no Do, I thought I'd read about as bad as it could get before straying into Gantz/Berserk territory.
Princess Resurrection proved me wrong, first we have the loli feeding the guy blood from her feet, then the ice queen of the school gets down, in the middle of a crowd, and zips up a dudes zipper. WTF.
That is all.

Some progress...

I wrote a whole two sentences on my un-named (hopefully) short story. It might turn into a novel, but I know nothing of determining novel lengths, so it could go either way.

So a basic day looks like this:
Classes in the morning
Lunch
Homework/Profreading/Writing
Dinner
Club
More Homework/Proofreading/Writing

Not exactly varied but it works for me.

Also thinking of working on fanfiction once again...specifically D. Gray Man and Wheel of Time fics.

Some reminiscing on WoW

Very few people remember just how bad WoW was at the beginning, I'm a veteran...I tend to block it out...but every once in a while it creeps up on me.

In other (outdated)news, the first Alterac Valley battle on the Gilneas realm took three freaking days from beginning to end, with the Alliance(my side) winning in the end. Those were the good ole days, never-ending honor points spamming over your head as you sat arrayed in line formation with your nakama, black smoke belching from the nearby ruined fortresses. Matching metal and mettle with the enemy and watching spells flying back and forth across the battlefield like a never-ending disco light show.
The Field of Strife truly earned it's name in those beginning times...

DA:O is freaking awesome, I should know, I've been playing it for a week and haven't complained yet. Cross your fingers and hope for additions to the Thedas universe.

Also:

Game design in theory, especially in MMORPGs, involves a lot of very creative people hashing out together the 'game' part of the game - the experience that the player has from start to finish, whether or not the systems work and are balanced, and whether or not the end product is actually fun. In practice, game design involves four things:

  • Writing hundreds if not thousands of pages of documentation that very few people will ever read,
  • Attending hours and hours of meetings where people demonstrate conclusively that they never read your documentation,
  • Convincing programmers and artists to implement the things written in your thousands of pages of documentation, usually by using the threat of more meetings as a cudgel, or possibly alcohol and/or blackmail,
  • Going home and posting on message boards like MMORPG.com using an anonymous account about how clueless the designers are of the MMORPG you play in your spare time that has nothing to do with your day job.

If you could give a secret gift of any value to one anonymous recipient, who would you choose and what would you give them?

No idea who. But I would probably send them money.

Finishing the seven page long paper, it' really not that hard, but for some reason I'm reluctant.
