all made up with nowhere to go

Godmother by Ursula Vernon.

I've been trying to find the lj entry where I read about switching everyone's paths in FFX, but I have no idea how long ago it was, nor who posted it. I don't even know what to google for. Not so much because I don't know what I'm doing (I sort of do. I spent three hours grinding today WHICH I HATE BY THE WAY for that very reason. Also to shift Rikku over to Auron's grid, but I need to use her more because that's not happening - she's still too close to her own right now). I am SO SICK of hearing Movement In Green because of it, and I freaking love that track. I suppose I should've shut the sound off and put some of my own music on, but that didn't really occur to me.

(Talking of music, I FINALLY have hold of a decent music theory book that makes sense! HURRAH).

I'm sick of fighting Ochus, too (they have too much HP and I am not strong enough. PFFT).

Oh yes, I watched The Wolverine!

It was OK (to be fair, I went in expecting it to be probably shite, so all in all a good time was had). I'm glad I'm not more familiar with the arc they adapted, although in some ways I wish I was, because there were things I had assumed were true about Wolverine (comicsverse) that actually might not be (although as we know comics and movie verse are unmixy things). The stinger mid-credits was tosh, though. I don't really care about Days of Future Past, and it felt tacked on and a bit hokey to me.

I thought the fights were interestingly choreographed, which is always good. The story was all right, and I liked Mariko and Yukio kicking ass, and now I want a film about Logan and Yukio kicking ass together because I think it would be awesome. (I wasn't sold on the romance even though I knew it happened anyway). Heck, I would actually watch a film about Mariko kicking ass. That would be cool (but it will NEVER HAPPEN *sighs*)

Then I discovered on Thursday that I could've just borrowed it off Jackie's husband instead of renting it. (I didn't think to ask because Jackie isn't into comics/superhero films anyway, and I don't know what her husband's into except video games. OH WELL. Maybe I will learn for next time).

Oh for fuck's sake, eljay. Well done.

In better news, ursulav riffs on Peter Pan, here, in a story called "Never" (I seriously love Ursula's writing because it's so awesome, but there's been something extra-awesome about the last two stories of hers that I've read.

Started playing Nocturne where I left off. Which was at Matador (AKA that game's That One Boss). I've had my arse pasted to the pavement three times already (even though I've followed some of the advice that I remembered from last time - i.e. Hitoshura is level 18, and I've got an Uzume. Beyond that, I know sod all else, so I need to look at a walkthrough - which, now I've done that, is no help. It says exactly what I've done, and then beat the crap out of him with physical attacks. Sigh (although maybe I should swap my Sudama for something else, since it's the weakest demon I have).

I thought about restarting, but I really couldn't be bothered. I'm not that far in, and I kind of know/remember what happened up to that point anyway.

I'm also not aiming for a specific ending, I'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens in the end. Though I can't see myself siding with either Isamu and Chiaki, but I guess we'll see when it comes to it, eh?
