Hunting High and Low

Having read and reread the available characters at Hollow City, I realise that one cannot roll up a Sabbat character at this stage. Like, at all. So no Maklie with Dementate. Which is a pity, because I was thinking of a cross between Drusilla and the Scarecrow from Batman. Someone needs to run me a Sabbat game. I'll have to read through my Toreador book again. I'm sure I'll come up with something. The vamp threads move so much bloody faster (unless they're Elysium. Elysium just takes for-fucking-ever).

[Edit: Actually, Sabbat aren't banned. They're just restricted. I'm not sure if I can roll up a character that's going to kick enough arse to get around that restriction, though...]

However, there are things that make up for this. Big honking huge ones.

1) Payday is the 23rd ... or the first weekday before the 23rd. Which means that today is payday. Payday! Yay! My bank account is a radioactive chia pet once again! Of course, much of this money will be going towards a haircut and a new pair of shoes, but still, money!

2) I have plans tonight. Cinema-going plans. Date-movie plans. Silent Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill!

*does the happydance and SQUEE!*

Okay. Now, Melpomene (Greek Muse of Tragedy, as would seem to be appropriate for a film of this type) grant that this is the two-odd hours of sheer glory and fear that the trailers seem to indicate, and not the unwatchable tripe that so many video game adaptations turn into. Let this be Resident Evil and more, and not ... I dunno, Doom. You and Thren seem to have worked on many projects together, Melpomene, and I couldn't take another disappointment like Hostel, so... Frankly, if this one kills my faith in horror entirely, Thren will come and kick your arse, so please? I know it's already made and everything, but there's no harm in a little internet prayer anyway. There's Pick n Mix sweeties in it for you...

Awkward Silences

I ran into lareinemisere on the platform at Finchley Central this morning. I knew something like that would happen sooner or later; it's not a very big area, after all. Still felt a little awkward to me, though, particularly since we spent about a half-hour in the same carriage. I mean, not hugely awkward (not like we'd have talked to one another even if relations between us were still friendly; neither of us are built that way), but awkward all the same.

At work. Doing the "going through the papers we've had pending for over three months and make a list for the editors" job I hate so very much. Oh well, just a few more hours and I'm out. Free. FREE!

Tomorrow, must do the following:

1) Get hair cut
2) Find new socks / knickers
3) Check Forbidden Planet for BR 15
4) Buy conditioner base at Neal's Yard
5) Get l0stmarbles a birthday present (EEK I never know what to get that man...)

And tonight? SILENT HILL! Wheeeeeeee...
