I currently have 'Within You' from 'Labyrinth' stuck in my head. Thinking back to last week, I can understand why... ^_^;
Other songs that have been stuck in my head lately are 'Master of the Wind' by Manowar (whom I've developed quite a major liking to the songs of - particularily the one that got stuck in my head, 'Swords in the Wind', and 'Courage'), and 'Take My Hand' by Toto, the credits theme from the 1984 David Lynch version of Dune (which is one of the prettiest instrumentals ever made). And various iterations of which keep playing through my head lately. I haven't really had the heart to listen to anything else. Except for stuff I mauled on my guitar, that is. Oh, and an awesome Scorpions acoustic concert I have on DVD.
Heh.
I'm feeling much better than last week. My mind still falls into lapses of sadness every once in a while, but I think I've channeled most of it out by now.
Also, I've been in a WarCraft mood lately. I've dug WarCraft III out of mothballs and started playing it. Burning HOURS. And loving every bloody minute of it. Man, that game is pure awesome. I finished Reign of Chaos last night, and I want to finish The Frozen Throne next weekend I get to be home. I miss the Draenei, kinda. xD
And by Draenei I mean the ugly-yet-awesome permanently-cloaked, fanged denizens of Outland (formerly Draenor). Back when they were still the natives.
Don't get me wrong, I love the WoW Draenor design. If I got over my hatred for MMORPGs and robbed a few banks to allow myself to play it, I'd probably create a Draenei character. The females look freakin' awesome. All detailed outfits and tendrils and horns and blue skin. Heh. ^^; But enough people ranted about the sudden connection of the Eredar (Archimonde's original species) and the completely unrelated Draenei. I honestly think that if they wanted to make the Eredar good guys, they could have NICELY wrote them in as a new race rather than just, y'know, fuse them with my favorite race of nuclear mutants.
Actually, coming to think of it, I think I like a lot of the corrupted races more than the official races. I mean, Naga and Satyrs are NEEFTY. ^^
I found a lot of secrets I haven't encountered last time I played (most of them in Night Elf levels. Like the Hydralisk and the 'Shrine of the Uberfish'. But I think that 'The Largest Panda Ever' was what took the cake. xD
Also, Illidan STILL kicks nine kinds of ass, at least.
Heh. This entry serves no real purpose except for some venting and random rambling. ^_^;
Oh yeah! And I've been having more thoughts about a conceptual webcomic plot i've been toying with for ages.
The story begins with QT-3.14, an android-like life-form who is accidentally summoned into a world where high-technology doesn't exist, but rather magic and fantasy rules. Needless to say, she isn't happy about it (particularily because she was summoned right when she was in the middle of a nice bath and her weapon modules got left behind. XD). She sees the potential of this world and plots its overthrow and takeover.
The only problem is, she's a semi-anthropomorphic animalish creature which doesn't look very intimidating without her weapon modules. And the young, hyper apprentice mage that summoned her by mistake seems to consider her some kind of an intelligent pet (much to "Cutiepi"'s annoyance xD). Said apprentice is actually extremely prone to magical accidents. Much like her master, an old, reclusive mage with a passion for alchemy (and unfortunately a passion for brimstone also, which more often than not makes his experiments explode). xD
Two more planned characters are Aelyn, a good-aligned Necromancer (Yes. xD) who's not very good at it. I mean, she tries REALLY hard to raise a mighty Dracolich, but ends up with a tiny, cute bone dragon with the personality of a puppy. And also, a girl who's VERY talented in magic, but isn't allowed to join a mage school because, well, her name is too mundane to be a mage name. xD
But yeah.
Gotta wrap this entry up.
