Jul. 30th, 2014 08:52 pmWell. Just when I think Livejournal can't fuck up any harder, they suddenly do. I've attempted to fix the mess as best I could. I know it's a pale imitation at best. Almost makes me wonder what styles, exactly, they offer in the new format. Sigh.
My parents are going away tomorrow. I'm a little concerned I haven't remembered any of the stuff I'll need for Nine Worlds, and I'll be stuck trying to sort it all out at the last minute on my own, but eh. They have enough to deal with anyway. Much like when I was younger, they booked this year's holiday pretty late, so the only flight they could get was at 6.30am. Which means tomorrow night we've got to have ON and MN to stay over while mum and dad are packing, and they've all got to get up at 3am (around the time I generally go to bed) to leave for the airport at 3.30am. Good luck to them.
Haven't been doing much lately. I went down to that volunteering place, and they finally let me through the door, woo hoo! It was a little nerve-wracking sitting there with all these chat websites open, waiting to see if someone would ask me a question, especially when it'd been 2 months since we actually discussed what I was meant to be doing there and what questions I was able to/trained to answer. But I had a word with another volunteer there, and I think I'm getting the hang of it. It's nice to be there doing stuff at any rate.
And I have been playing Far Cry 3, a game I got a year and a half ago, mostly because it seemed to be a game about shooting and stabbing things. It is indeed a game about shooting and stabbing things, and a pretty good one at that, also pretty beautiful. It's set on a jungle island in the South Pacific, which has been nice in the recent swathe of hot weather, because it meant I got to enjoy summer and beautiful scenery without actually having to stand in sunshine. I'm a little concerned the game is heading for a racist place - or more racist, I suppose - but I wasn't exactly expecting great things when I saw the box. Also I can't tell if the main character is meant to be weirdly emotionless because of shellshock-related reasons or they just randomly made a Main Character without paying attention to the story they'd written for him. But on the whole I'm enjoying it.
Nick tried to go on a crime spree without back-up and emotional support from David. More fool him.
