I'm nearly done with Dan Simmons Olympos, which is simply an awesome book. It's technically a sequel, and while that would usually bother me this sounded too interesting to pass up. Besides, it only cost me $1 ![]()
It features some of the most interesting things that you could possibly put into a book: sci-fi, robots, aliens, multiple dimensional travel, Greek gods and goddesses, genetic engineering, battles for life and death, apocalypse on both a local and global scale, and plenty of other goodness!
It is the sequel to Ilium, and runs a grand total of 735 pages in length. For some reason lately I have been picking up very long books. I think my last book was the Tom Clancy novel Red Storm Rising, which ran nearly 1,400 pages long. I wouldn't mind rereading Alhazred, which was somewhere in the 800s.
Actually, I really would like to reread this one book, but I can only remember enough to describe it to someone who has already read it. If someone had read it before, they would know what I was talking about. Otherwise it would sound like I was babbling, which is roughly what I'd be doing anyways ![]()
I have tried out some isometric pixel work, but so far I am failing pretty hard
Maybe I am just not cut out of it... or maybe I am just trying to do things a bit too complex for me to start with! I need to try again, come up with something simpler and see if that works to get me started. Maybe I could try some of the furniture in my room or something?
I seriously can't wait for deviantTIDY to become compatible with V6. I want to really mess around with it, but I never got a good chance to before the version change. There are certainly things that could be improved in V6, and I am hoping that deviantTIDY does the job. Right now I am using a variety of scripts and CSS styles to either improve or pretty up deviantART. It would be nice if people would stop submitting things into the scripts and such categories that don't belong in there... pisses me off, and makes it harder to find the actual scripts and such.
I realized today that I adore the song See You Again by Miley Cyrus. I've had it on look for probably a good 30-60 minutes now, which is unusual for me. Probably will switch off it to something else soon before I burn myself out on it ![]()
I'm actually debating trying to re-skin deviantART, just because I am pretty bored right now. Don't know if I have the motivation for it, so only time will tell. Odds are it won't happen, but it sure is fun to think about the possibilities of what could be done! Oh yeah, I'm also using a new journal skin ![]()

deviantTIDY is working out okay for you? Hmm... I guess you would be using the Stylish and Greasemonkey bits rather than the extension, eh? Although I have an extension that could modify the max version number for it... hmm, I'll give those two scripts a try though, might actually work out well enough for me

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
