 | If I were a James Bond villain, I would be Octopussy. I enjoy the circus, jewellery smuggling, and dealing with renegade Russians with nuclear bombs. I am played by Maud Adams in Octopussy. Who would you be? James Bond Villain Personality Test |
Octopussy. Heh. I think that is one of the funniest titles I have ever heard for a non-pornographic movie. Second would probably be "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"

Poor Hero. His most favorite game in the whole world is Everquest. On Tuesday, Everquest upgraded their online game. Now most of the people who have accounts are unable to play because they don't have the latest video hardware. That's my take on it anyway. Included in this great bunch of very sad people is Hero, jonesin' for his EQ fix. He was rather crabby last night, even though I'd spent all day on our computer discovering that we didn't have a graphics card sufficient for the new and improved game. Sigh.

Here's a really great idea! A bunch of people on DiaryLand banded together to create Auctions. On this site, they'll be auctioning diary templates contributed by various designers, and all the proceeds go to Toys for Tots. I particularly like that since the Marines sponsor that charity, and Hero is a Marine. And I've always liked charities that make children happy.
I do wish I'd heard about the auction sooner; I would have designed something. Or worked on something anyway. I'm a designer, and though my HTML is weak, I think I know enough to make a nice template. Just look at this one! (I really like the ducky).
I'm also a working designer again! Through word of mouth (via Prez) there is a woman who has some work for me. I called her tonight to work out the details, and left a message. I also created the Dragontale banner and a logo for Maverick's business web page (let me plug their businesses for you, too.)

I have been so weepy tonight. All the Christmas commercials are tugging on me like I'm pregnant again. I think it's the homesickness kicking in, along with the fact that every time I look at my little baby, I just get teary at how beautiful she is.
Yeah, that's probably it.
