Spam of the Day

"Context-Free Living!" I already do a lot of that, thanks spammers.

WoW Blithering

My main is halfway through level 68, and even if i skip the group quests, I should be able to hit 70 in another couple of sessions. (Mmm, Outland. XP heaven!) Once I hit 70, I'm thinking of starting a guild to go and do pre-BC endgame content and shit, and levelling help, because I'm nowhere near ready to hit the current endgame stuff, I don't think, and dammit, I want to see these dungeons.

(Anyone Alliance-side on Stormrage want to join an easy-going family-type guild? Anyone Alliance-side on Stormrage at all? I like running people through instances and shit, because when you're level 60-something, Scarlet Monastery is surprisingly zen and calming after the frustration of elite group quests in Outland) and all I ask in return is someone to talk to me while I get my ass gored by elite goats. :D )

Also, I have a wee dwarf pally now, who's currently enjoying the hospitality of the good people of Lakeshire while I finish levelling my hunter, probably getting sloshed while I'm not looking. If anyone sees a red-headed dwarf pally in Lakeshire, be a dear and listen to her tale of PUG woe, would you? (First time I ever quit a PUG. I'm stubborn, but even I'm not that stubborn. I may just end up getting a higher level to run me through or something because augh. But then I'll never get in practise in tanking. Woe.)

My Friends Are More Awesome Than Your Friends (Unless Your Friends Happen To be My Friends As Well)

On Saturday, dantesvendetta came over for Robin Hoodage and food, and brought me a DVD player. A purple one.

Best. Fake Girlfriend. EVER. :D

Speaking of Robin Hood ...

Guy, naked and wet and bedraggled. I'm starting to sense a theme here -- this is clearly the season in which all the boys get stripped half-naked and then soaked. I heartily approve! \o/

Other Stuff

I've been batting around the idea lately of getting into freelance web design. Because when people whose site is made in freakin' FrontPage, with the standard blue-underlined links and everything, can get away with charging £200-300 for a four-page website, presumable also made in FrontPage, then I can earn a cool £100-150 for hand-coding that same four-page website in a few hours' work, I'd think.

I've convinced two people at work who have/are setting up their own business to let me design their website for free in return for getting to use them as a portfolio, so including my own site, once I manage to beat it into behaving, that'll be three sites I can show off to potential clients. I'm not expecting to be bringing in the big bucks any time soon, let alone make a living off this, but any extra money is good, innit?

Yes! That! Seriously, the BBC have clearly given up on straight boys as a target audience and are totally going for the straight women and gay men this season. Lots of half-nekkid men, inappropriate touching (hello, Guy and Alan, and speaking of which, where is my porn, internets?), slashy subtext like whoa ("this relationship," Guy?), ... I approve of this! :D

Not to mention all those Guy/Sheriff allusions which have well past suxtext into the realms of text, even when it's slightly squicky.

For some reason, there's hardly any good fanfiction in this fandom at all. Woe!

Seriously, my god, the subtext is going to give me a freakin' nosebleed over here! O_o

I know! So annoying! And it's not like there's not like a gazillion pairings to chose from, either. Guy/Sherrif, Guy/Robin, Guy/Alan (I'm sensing a theme ...), Alan/Will, Robin/Will, Djaq/Marian, and I'm not even mentioning straight pairings or threesomes yet! And yet, there's hardly any, and what there is is mostly mediocre at best. Woe indeed!
