Wheeee! I got a 92 on my recent Pastiche and Defense paper. Now to work on the final essay. *bangs head on desk*

LOL I finally looked at the notes the teacher wrote "The defense itself is a bit brief, but the pastiche on Beowulf is imaginiative and aptly chosen as a concept. It could be a longer story of some interest, combining as it does the two mainstays of the fantasy genre." And considering how many people read my short pastiche and then said "write more!" makes me laugh.

So I have a paper to write, it's a short two part paper(total 1250 words), the rough draft is due midnight April 30th, final is due midnight may 7th. I currently have only 132 words written for the first part. What have I been doing instead?

Well Friday afternoon my sister-in-law called in desperate need of a girl's night out away from her husband and children. Since I've been wanting to hang out with my SIL I agreed. We met up at my place and went to Jullians for violent videogames and booze. Shared a large margarita while playing Resident Evil 4. We didn't pretty well I thought, getting to chapter 4(albeit dying many times) before we gave up. Messed around with the Derby owner thing, interesting but I found it rather boring quickly. Got additional drinks, me with a long islend ice tea and her with a bear and we headed upstairs to the patio. Some-one remind me to never wear a skirt up there again, because while I was wearing a long one, the wind had me doing a Marilyn Monrow impression until we sat down. After chugging now my LIIT we wondered around the Marq E center, getting some pizza(dayam those were some big slices) Tried going back to Jullian's but found that the Arcade portion was closing early due to a party that had been booked *pout* Tried locating another bar, but didn't find one worth the cover to get in for only one hour. So we went to my place, and played We Love Katamari for a while.

As for today, remember the con I mentioned in an earlier post? I decided to go, mainly because I like have anime cons in town and want to support them. Now granted I didn't stay long, just got a couple pictures of costumes I liked, spent money on pins and playing card decks, a 1/6th scale figure of Laguna Loire from FF8 and a 1/6th scale figure of Tidus(for my friend Jala as she's been hunting for one, too bad they didn't have two cause now I want one) Left shortly after my batteries died and I couldn't take anymore pictures, did get to catch a glimpse of an anime called Haruka 8(ok that's just the short title) shoujo genre, and looks slightly similar to Fushigi Yuugi(girl transported to magical realm and is a priestess, has mystical protectors) getting a hold of more episodes now and will give a more in depth review as I watch more.

Now I'm going to go buy some groceries and dinner while letting the rest of my pastiche stew and then get my ass into gear and finish this thing. Oh if anyone cares the Pastiche portion of the paper is Beowolf in something of a cyberpunk setting, if you're interested in reading it let me know and I'll post it here.
