thessalianA photo you took
Keep in mind that I don't really have that many photos (tomorrow's going to be more or less impossible unless I fudge it a bit because I don't have many pictures of myself to begin with, and none of them are ten years old or more, and I haven't access to any of the things to scan. But at least there are a few I took, and here's a golden oldie.
This has got to be about ... what, 2003? J and Bea, friends of mine from the Daria fandom (*waves* hi guys!) came to visit me in London and the whole trip had awesome. This picture ... well, there is a story behind that one. This was when Full Tilt was still running at the Electric Ballroom over in Camden, and I was going to take them clubbing. And J dyed his hair blue - I'm ... not really sure whose idea that was but he seemed okay with it, as it was temporary dye anyway. So Bea and I played hairdresser and we shaped his dye-sticky hair into devil horns and ... photographic evidence seemed appropriate.
In other news, still enjoying Dragon Age Origins, for all there are occasionally ... frustrations. Y'know, frustrations like, "I can solo demons and take on waves upon waves of templars but I can't take down 20-odd mercenaries in Denerim? Son of a ... mabari, I suppose". (Well, it doesn't hurt that the street gangs are well-entrenched and have some quite seasoned archers. The archers are a pain. Though actually seeing your character running around stuck through with arrows is fairly gratifying, if a little preposterous considering the one cut scene where you're taken down with fewer arrows than I've seen my character running around with during gameplay, but it's always the way.) But the dialogue continues to be incredibly funny and the story's keeping me interested. This is the first time I've played one of these where it hasn't been about 'winning' so much as the story. Then again, it's not like I play many of these to begin with. But FFXI ... I'm not invested in my deathgnome as a character - just as a nifty avatar.
And I sorted out the graphics card issue - just took a download of new drivers. I didn't think of that when I was tearing my hair out over the ... erm, 'aggressive casemodding'. So now it looks even better and I have my preferred screen resolution back! Awesome!
