. . . . . it takes two wings to truly fly . . . . .

Today I went to the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition a couple of blocks up from home at the Discovery place near Broadway. It was very nice! They had a LOT of things on display, some of it was very personal, too. They noted which passenger said items belonged to, told a little bit of their story. They had one of the huge lifeboat cranes, one of the phones from the crow's-nest, things like the rivets that kept the ship together, and so much more. I think my absolutely favorite part of it was the room with the reconstruction of the Grand Staircase, though. ♥ I wish SO HARD that they allowed pictures, if only for that one room alone. They did, technically, but it was one of those they take you in front of it and then you can buy it after you're done. It was a whole room with a little description of it, but nothing else really but the whole thing, glass-domed ceiling and all.

I wound up getting something from the shop though, "882 1/2 amazing answers to your questions about the Titanic." They had little ice-berg and Titanic shaped ice cube trays which were just kind of horrible if you think about it. The book I got was $10, which wasn't really bad actually, compared to a lot of the other prices of things there.

So yeah, I had a lot of fun and it was well worth a visit for me. ♥ I have a couple of pictures of the outside and the model they have on display. So I'll post them. But I also wanna post a bunch of figure whoring I did when I was trying out the settings on my new camera. I was bored, and want to do a day in the life of me picspam post one day to break it in in different places/environments.

( Pics from today, as well as a LOT of figure picspam. )

One con pic (plus some babble) and pics of the RE figures. Also kitty. ♥

( Wheeeeee! As I still mess with camera settings, so all the pics aren't so good. )

Today I went to get a new winter jacket. As I have had the old one for ... years. And thus the down isn't even all there anymore so it's not doing its job. Woot being ghetto. Anyway after that, I dropped by the nearby Best Buy to look around, and saw the camera I had my eye on for cheaper than it was online. So obviously I got it. And then took some pics!

( A few tests as I tweaked with settings and the auto and stuff. )

In other news I ... should have maybe asked this sooner. But is anybody going to NYAF on Friday? I am, but really only checking out dealers room and catching a couple of panels (namely the DisorgXIII ones) between work, since I'm not taking off.

On a similar note, if anybody is interested. I have been interested in going for a while, and finally got my ticket today after passing the place like 4 times and seeing that huge, gorgeous model in the window. Next Wednesday I am catching the 2:00 exhibit for the Titanic Artifact Exhibition, if anybody wants to come with. I picked up a flyer on the way home, and once I read reconstructions of the cabins and the grand staircase, I was like wtf why haven't I already GONE to this it is literally on my block but up near Broadway.

Haha sob apparently mygodlyright is now my RE5 PC squee place.

I made a small post about the color mod with a couple of examples, and just posted a bunch of screencaps from the Monarch Room battle, for anybody interested in my random geeking.

Sob I love these RE Twitters more than I should, they are so amusing.

Also re: my last post and the comments to it makes me think Leon is retweeting Steve because he has a crush.

RE5 PC comes out soon! I am SO excited for it. And cannot wait to not only play, but use sexy color mods and see what else people come up with. I'll be able to take screencaps! And make icons! Baby's first console -> PC game. ;o;b I am excited. I am also really interested in the new No Mercy mode for Mercenaries. 30+ Majini on screen at a time? Oho raep.

I also love the new CV section on the Darkside Chronicles site, and the short trailer for the new chapter in the game and fffff!! November cannot come soon enough.

This afternoon I went to the bank to get a secure credit card. Since I have like no credit for a normal CC and nobody is really giving them out easily these days. So having this for a few months PLUS my phone payments will hopefully start to pay off soon to get a real CC. Which you know, credit is GOOD! Even though I am just :|a about credit cards because I will just probably. Hide it away somewhere and only use it for things I would really NEED. Like a new fridge. And a new stove.

U-um. So the benchmark download for RE5 PC. There was a mod made for it. A color mod that basically takes away the greenbrownorange tint the whole game has. So I took some comparison caps.

One, Two, Three, Four, Five.

Well now I'm totally sold on getting the PC version when it's out, because omfg. ♥ I can't wait to see what other mods people churn out for this baby.

Lmfao my mom is so cute. THIS IS WHAT I WAKE UP TO.

"THE CAT LEFT A DEAD MOUSE NEAR MY BED!"
"Awww, he finally caught another one? It's been so long!"
"HE LEFT IT NEAR MY BED I COULDN'T EVEN TELL WHAT IT WAS AND SJKADSDKLJDFSKL EWWWWWW."
"He probably wanted to leave it there for you as a gift!"
"SOME GIFT 8(((( It's all bloody and there's blood and dfjk."
"Oh actually it looks more like he regurgitated it."
"SDKLJKLJKLFSD"
"[HUGGING CODYBABY!!] THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING US~"
"dkjfs"

It's been so long since he caught one. :(b And this time he didn't even wake either of us up when he was playing with it, since he always has with his TRIUMPH MEOWS of "GUYS LOOK LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT. :3"

Our hero. ♥

Can has a Steve in campfuckudie! Am having a blast in the intro post which is the FUNNIEST POST EVER hurf durf even though I suck so hard at villains.

EVERYBODY GO APP THE REST OF THE CAST especially Jill and Chris.

So if the default from the Xeno character viewer and couple of more icons on durandork don't explain it better, I love my new computer very much because now I can get shinies like this.

And also get these two SEED Owaranai caps finally in good quality for my site which I just did. ;o;! (AND PLAY ALL THE EFFING OTHER SEED GAMES THAT NEVER CAME OUT HERE). I am such an image whore. :( Part of why I remember Owaranai was because I went "oh I can make better icons for my Dearka and Shiho folders durrrrrp!" Now I am super excited to try these other SEED games. I just hope they play okay ... if I can find roms for them at all. Lol this is going to be a fun adventure. \o\

Because I am a giant SEED whore.

^ You all want to go app. LOOK AT ALL THE ICONS YOU'LL GET! I always love Dearka's, but really, Shiho and Isaac's I really love a lot for some reason. I need to finish Isaac's, too.

Also app Ziggy so lacus can love you for all eternity.

I started WoW a couple of days ago. o/ Am liking it so far! I am such a skank though, I want all the mounts and pets because they are all so cool/adorable! THAT IS ALL I CARE ABOUT.
