Hmm... lots of work, so little time. :(

I've been continuing my 'working until 4 or 5 then playing Star Wars Galaxies for a while' approach. I bought my dancing wookiee Fyrrra some new clothes. I now have the Sage's Hood, which she wears all the time, a weighted top for doing surveying and shooting things in, black shoulderpads, a while and black sigilled waist wrap, a black 'decorated' waist wrap which looks like it has a sporren, a plain black one, and also some decorated gloves, which I don't really like. I kind of wanted a totally black sigilled wrap, without the white part, but maybe if I buy white shoulderpads it'll all match nicely.

It's really hard buying dancing clothes for wookiees! Everyone else just wears bikini things or 'flesh wraps' which are basically a bunch of tiny straps that show as much as possible! It might be hard dressing for dancing when you're a wookiee, but I don't know if I'd want to dance wearing such revealing things. :)

Anyway, there's a pic of the hood/shoulderpads/sigilled wrap combo on the Fyrrra@SWG page up at the top of the page. There's also a pic of Fyrrra dancing with a matching combat staff, which works quite well with the 'popular' dance. I considered doing loads of pictures and getting people to vote on what she should wear, but... it would take ages to do the captures! I can't see a way to do it apart from printscreening. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine had a very useful option where you pressed a button and it saved all the printscreens to a special folder. Thoughtful... and also a Lucasarts game. Obviously.

Talking of Lucasarts, I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean last night. It was very good fun. Lots of swashbuckling, and ships, and cool piratey things. It did make me think of Ghost Pirate LeChuck in places. Hehe. And I thought it was odd that the navy men were criticised for not being able to swim. Traditionally sailors couldn't swim, since they figured it was better to die quickly. Interesting fact.

I suppose I'd better go and do stuff.

I promised my brother I'd play with my bass guitar at some point today. I haven't tried the stand, lead and 'fast fret' stuff yet, and he gave them to me a week ago... I said I'd give him a million pounds if I didn't use them, and he wanted me to tell Ali to tie me up. Like I have a million pounds!

He's the one who just spent £280 on more drum kit stuff. Chimes that cost £105 and two more cymbals. Tut tut. ;)

I really am going now!

I have been mostly.... WATCHING (TV): neighbours (bbc 1) / WATCHING (CINEMA): pirates of the caribbean - the curse of the black pearl / READING: atar wars new jedi order 1: vector prime (r.a. salvatore) / LISTENING: blade runner soundtrack (vangelis); you gotta go there to come back (stereophonics); performance and cocktails (stereophonics)
