@.@

I’ve just completed my first task force on CoH. My eyes are square. [].[] And my attack fingers are numb! And I’ve got a gaming date in half an hour. *laugh* But Petite is now level TWENTY-FIVE, which makes her, I do believe, my highest-level character, and a month ago she was only 19th level. Woot. :) omg i’m tired. *laugh* In more meaningful accomplishments, got another 2600 words written, and once more stopped practically mid-sentence after achieving my wordcount goal.

tiny bubbles

“Roman writers tell us that Cleopatra was intelligent and charismatic, and that she had a seductive voice but, tellingly, they do not mention her beauty.” Because God forbid intelligence should make a woman attractive. Once more scientists are astonished at how fast things move when they decide to go, regarding climate change. I find the continuing amazement at how quickly things change to be sort of bemusing. Even if you’re talking about human time scales, enormous ice shelves breaking off in an hour is moving fast. If you’re talking about…
