Random update.

There's an anti-Prop 8 protest in Baltimore on Saturday the 15th at 1:30pm in front of the City Hall. Any other Marylanders going?

Also: I am miffed that I cannot add the Unseen University to my schools list merely because it's not located on planet Earth. If I'm stuck with that vast gaping expanse of empty whiteness in the fugariffic new profile, I'd like to at least attempt to break it up with some pointless info.

Also also: LittleBigPlanet? Rocks. I've rarely had so much fun with a game, and I got to yet again admire the impressive bullshittery that is gamer_of_chaos operating two controllers at the same time to get a pair of sackboys into position for a four-player-only portion of the game when we only had three people available.

Also also also: Gaia's MMO is just good enough to be addictive while being just glitchy and crappy enough to be horrifically frustrating. I remain impressed that the design team thought that a memory leak that could cause the game to consume over a gig of memory all by itself was a "minor issue." They also really, really shouldn't have released the math they use to calculate drops with multiple people attacking the same enemies. They were trying to get people to stop screaming about kill-stealing and wound up getting people screaming about messing with their drop percentages instead. In the *eyeroll* category, two weeks after initial release and the people who got first crack at it are already being nasty to the newbies and coming up with creative ways to use game items for unofficial PvP. >_>

Also also also also: I meant to celebrate Zoro's birthday by getting caught up on the OP manga yesterday, but I failed at it. ;_; Sorry, Zoro.

...I still want Discworld to have its own country setting. At least I know where to look for it now. Thanks!

Whoa. You live in MD?? HAHA, sorry, totally random - I'm a huge fan of your fic, friended you awhile back with one of my journals. ANYHOO, I'm about 20 minutes from Baltimore, I live in Howard County, SO YAY MARYLAND! And I was thinking of going on Saturday, but I hadn't decided yet.

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Indeed I do. I've been living just outside of Baltimore for the past seven years. There's a surprising concentration of One Piece fans in Maryland. It's pretty nice to meet this many crazy pirate-loving folks in person. XD

I hope you do decide to go--this is SRS BSNS and needs all the support it can get.

Are there really? Wow. I need to look into that. The more people close by to flail about OP with, THE BETTER. I've been here seven years myself! Since 2001.

I really want to - I'm supposed to work, that's the one thing that's making me hesitate. Blah. But I'll probably just skip out for a few hours, because it's definitely worth it.

...so who is going?

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Tiff and I, at least.

It looks like me and Susan will be making it. Perhaps we should go together? I'm wondering about parking....

I heard the time got changed in some citites. It's still at 1:30, right?

[chibi-trillian.livejournal.com]

Still at 1:30 to the best of my knowledge, and I was actually figuring on catching the subway down. We should only have to walk a few blocks to get to City Hall from one of the Inner Harbor stations, and we don't have to worry about parking.

I'd like to go. It all comes down to how much research/school work I manage to get done today and tomorrow though.
