i think i have a few things to talk about on here

first off, somethings you've missed

  • idk why i never mentioned it but i didn't hit the word limit for nanowrimo. i was at 31,684 at the end of november and right now it's a bit over 35,000. i might have hit it after the fact but i ran into a roadblock when my story went completely off the rails from the original vision, mostly because i killed off peeta. also, his death didn't have the weight it should have. so i ended up having to go into revisions immediately to fix it. protip: to avoid doing this, make an outline, because when i started this i only had a general description of the events of the game i wrote out (world building stuff, idk) and a ranking of who placed where. and of course that might change because nothing is concrete, but it'll still be really helpful.
  • i started my batman begins fic the week of christmas (don't worry, i have the script guiding me). honestly i didn't think i'd be doing this one for a long time, but the more i read the script i realized that i could totally do it and that i could fix shaky fight scenes down the line. i've only just passed 10,000 words so it's not very far along, but it's going good.
  • i'm rereading blogging twilight, partially because it's good and partially because i'm setting up for what i'm gonna write once i finish thg and batman begins, and twilight is on the list. in the end, i'm probably going to end up having to reread the actual book (or books *shudder*), but i'm holding off as long as i can.
  • i got an xbox 360 for christmas!!! i'm not gonna be playing call of duty anytime soon (read: ever, probably). but i do have arkham asylum and i already finished the first year of lego harry potter. i've also started fallout: new vegas, which is going well, i guess (i haven't even left town yet)
  • i got tdkr on dvd and i've re-watched it already. it's still very good but it was interesting to watch it with all of the flaws having been pointed out (particularly the pacing and a few plot holes).
  • i currently own all of the marvel superhero movies that i care to own at the moment. i've also seen iron man 2, but i've already reviewed that on my tumblr, so i won't talk about it here
  • game informer did a list of their top 50 games of 2012 and every accolade for mass effect was accompanied by a picture of the female commander shepard. how awesome is that? especially considering that she was never featured in promo art until mass effect 3. i'm so happy about that. 
  • black ops 2 placed on the list, and got, like, number 4 on one of the editor's lists too, so that's cool. they got number one villian as well. i'm mostly happy about this because this is the best one in a while (most say since the first modern warfare, i say since the first black ops, but what do i know) and i'm glad people are recognizing the way treyarch is trying to change the franchise ad make it better.
i think that's everything that's happened in the last month or so. isn't that fun?

mood: yay
listening to: a daft punk song with a really long name. it's number 10 on the album Alive 2007. have fun with that.
