Quiet Day

Mostly hung around here today, although we went into the city for part of the afternoon. Mostly this kind of crystalized the desire to get the hell out of here, but I also aquired a new Vergil/Dante song ("Gin", by Drew Bunting), and an FF7 AU with Rufus owning a nightclub - fun, but a little strange.

Also, I realized last night that I keep forgetting that Before Crisis exists. I think part of it is playing in Shinra's Finest, which is mostly just FF7 orginal game canon...I think of FF7 and AC as canon, and acknowledge BC, but I forget it's there until someone else mentions it. Which, uh, is a bit of a problem working on Rufus's backstory, which I've been trying to do. It's also tricky to reconcile fanon-Rufus with some of the bits of game canon we're given, like the little fear speech.

...I'll post something intelligent here soon, I swear.

Christmas Part II

The relatives have been survived, for the most part, and the presents opened. My one big thing was my new baby - sleek silver little 20 GB Dell DJ mp3 player, AKA the DellPod (to match my brother's Creative Zen, AKA the iPud). I'm deciding on a name for it - leaning strongly towards Sparda or Rufus, but I'm open to suggestions. Also got RE2 for the PSX from Jo, which is what the Mysterious Package of Mystery was, and is wonderfully old-school, and a nice ring from my grandparents. Also can't remember if I mentioned it, but Skuld, your card came right before we left for Florida <3

Got messages, too, which I will reply to later, but...who was it who started off with 'Omigod'? I couldn't make out most of the message, so I don't know who it was XD; Also did write the Christmas-fic, but I'm going to have to do some wierd stuff to get it off my flash drive, 'cause I can't get the the USB ports on the only internet-enable computer in the house.
