I watched TV!!!

I've spent most of my weekend closed up in my house doing laundry. Consequently, the DVD player was working overtime. Saturday night, though, as I popped out Spirited Away, my TV had one of those moments of magical reception. I managed to catch the last fifteen minutes of NBC's new Knight Rider. Shannon had told me about it earlier in the week and I was quite intrigued. I was rather pleased with the little snippet I saw on my fuzzy television, and when it ended I went hunting the complete episode. I was actually rather surprised to find it on the NBC website in its entirety.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Of course this was a made for TV movie, and I've not really seen anything that ensures it will be a series. If it is, though, I may have to jury rig my antenna a bit better as it sounds like something I might want to watch on a regular basis. Of course if NBC is going to be so kind as to put every episode online for my viewing pleasure, I'll just do it that way. Much easier to beat Theseus into submission than to fight with the TV and its ancient bunny ears.

A changeling, eh?

Found a random WoD quiz. I'm not sure if it is oWoD or nWoD though. I guess I shouldn't be surprised by the result though. heh.

another one

 
Another one I took today. This one looks like me but not the character... I'm so bad at pictures. I think part of the reason none of them ever look like me is because I tend to take my hair down in pictures whereas I think of myself with my hair up because that's how it usually is. Or I could just be weird. I'm standing on my front porch btw. See my dead grass?

current picture of me

 
I was attempting to take a picture of myself today for use as an icon for the larp. My character is way more badass than I am and I don't think the picture really works for her, but I kind of like it anyway. I don't think it looks like me at all, but then pictures never do. I may still use it as an icon for Emily Moore. feh.

Looking at it some more and I still can't decide whether I like it or not. The shadow under the chin gives it a strange division in the middle and I kind of hoped the cross would come out a bit clearer than it did. Also, I'm making kind of a weird face. Still, it's better than most of the pictures I have of myself, so I guess that must count for something.

Random D&D quiz results

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Druid (4th Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-13

Dexterity-12

Constitution-14

Intelligence-17

Wisdom-16

Charisma-13


Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Druids gain power not by ruling nature but by being at one with it. They hate the unnatural, including aberrations or undead, and destroy them where possible. Druids receive divine spells from nature, not the gods, and can gain an array of powers as they gain experience, including the ability to take the shapes of animals. The weapons and armor of a druid are restricted by their traditional oaths, not simply training. A druid's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast.

Don't ask why I took it. There are some days when I'm just this bored.

On a more interesting note, I just spent way too much money at borders. I should know better than to go there.
