Okay so after 20,000 years I finally finished Shogun!

It's a fantastic book, but at the same time, I couldn't help but be disappointed with the ending. It felt like when it got to a certain point, everything started to drag out and be less interesting... The last hundred pages especially. Maybe I should have held off reading it 'cause I'm sick today (ughhhh my throat hurts so bad it's making my ears hurt) and that kind of spoiled some of the enjoyment.

But the first 900 pages or so of the book were really excellent, so that's what I'm going to think about when I look back on the book.

A couple extra thoughts, slight spoilers )

On an unrelated note, we need to get some GSRP ideas flowing. Sil if you read this before I come on again, let's start a planning thread for Halloween. There's still time to cook up something. Hopefully I won't be so sick then >:I

Been a while since I posted, so I figured I might as well say some stuff!

House front is still fucked. I think I must have killed a poor innocent house in a former life. Or maybe it's because I declared to not watch House anymore and then went back on my word. In any case, I am not lodged in a house as of yet. It's a good thing my priorities are unhealthily skewed towards gaming and internet, or else it would be really getting to me by now!!

Speaking of gaming, right now I've been working on Warriors Orochi 2. It doesn't have the same charm that WO1 had, but I feel like I've been more efficient about unlocking items and thingies, and the new characters are a great addition.

For the record I am not happy about Samurai Warriors 3 being announced for the Wii, and I hope Koei smartens up! ONLY THE SUPERIOR POWER OF THE PS3 CAN HANDLE ENOUGH FACELESS PEONS TO QUENCH MY THIRST FOR DEAD SAMURAI BLOOD!!! Also I have no Wii and have no plans to change this, despite the temptation of Oboro Muramasa Yotoden. Vanilliaware whyyyyyyyyyyy ;_;

However, the last laugh shall be mine, when I butcher a Muramasa level on Little Big Planet. DARE ME!!!!

(Actually I'm more interested in making a killer Gantz level with a giant Buddha. That would be so rock)

Anyone else getting LBP? I have literally no friends on my PS3 account. Come make beautiful alien Buddha with me plz :U

But the most interesting thing I've been up to is reading James Clavell's Shogun for the first time.

I know, I'm so wrong for not reading this sooner )

So that's what I've been up to :D I've also been watching Chuck, Heroes, and House (why!?) but I'll save those thoughts for another post.
