Happy Hill Valley Town Festival Day!
Dance, Food, Games! All proceeds go to help build the clock tower! :D Now, if I'd been the organizers, I would have found a way to stop Buford Tannen from coming in, but I guess it's kind of hard to stop one of the quickest triggers around from not going someplace he wants to go.
On the other hand -- shouldn't Marshall Strickland have arrested him the moment he saw Buford had an illegal gun? You were supposed to check all your firearms when entering the party, after all. Now there's an interesting idea for an AU -- Buford gets arrested at the party. How does that affect what comes afterward (namely, Marty learning his lesson about the chicken thing and Doc's decision to be with Clara)? Curiouser and curiouser. . .
Not much to report on today -- Mom stayed home and did some major cleaning, so when I wasn't offering help I stayed up in my room and out of the way. Have to do my share of the vacuuming sometime tomorrow, it seems. Ah well, no big. Did the usual job search, some editing on Chapter 7, and put up Chapter 5 of "In The Land of the Dead" -- read it on FF.net or on AO3. Also watched some LP of the Sims 4 by The Sims Supply -- it looks -- well, Simmish. I really do think the new build mode looks awesome, and multitasking looks hella useful. But I think I'm agreeing with those who say that this incredibly bare bones core game isn't quite worth the price. Not that I could afford it right now anyway, but waiting for a "starter kit" sale (like how they had with Sims 2 and 3, offering the base game plus some popular EPs) or the like seems like a better plan. Besides, gives me time to get a better computer. My laptop is showing its age.
Games Update:
-->DragonVale: My Sapphire has hatched, with the very appropriate name Glitter. :) No luck with Amber or Orchid yet, though. Nothing more really to comment on -- though the third anniversary of the game is next week. We'll see if anything interesting happens then.
-->Hearthstone: One loss and one with with Rexxar -- both in mirror matches, interestingly enough. I got really lucky with good taunts and buffs in the "win" match. Honestly, I think Rexxar's deck is my best deck -- I seem to win most often with him. Yay Hunters.
-->Spellfall: After many painful fights, I FINALLY managed to reclear the Temple of Water and beat King Sodron. Arrgh, the pain. . . I also cleared the Ironworks -- the boss fight there was way easier, against Nikal Kosperov, who was kind of responsible for all the mechs wandering around and making life difficult. She is a female scientist, aka mechromancer, and I think I love her even though all she is is a boss fight. XD I have a soft spot for girl mad scientists, what can I say! I'm currently breezing through the Temple of Fire -- all my going back and reclearing areas has made me VASTLY overleveled for the enemies. If I use the Haste powerup, I can often kill them before they even get a chance to attack. After the pain in the ass that was the rematch against Sodron, I am loving this. We'll see how long it lasts, though.
And now, I have a fair number of RP replies owed, so let me get on that. Later!

Geoff won a Gold and Boone is in Air. I wound up forgetting about it until almost 10 this morning.
I finally got the Sunstruck earlier today. And thank you Kairos I just got the Sapphire too! :D
Finally, something good happening, lol. Now I'll be ready if they release something for the anniversary.
DC: 1,057,764,813; G: 400 and I'm not even halfway through level 44 yet. I think I'll manage to save enough to get and clear the Tenth Island when I hit 45. Then I'll redecorate, lol. Maybe the Eleventh Island will be for all the Egg Pedestals and other decorations or something. Incidentally, the Wiki still doesn't have how much DC you need to clear that one yet. I guess people are still counting obstacles. *shrug*
Lastly, my Sailor Jupiter costume! With photobombing Itchie. It's not 100% complete yet. She wears a hairtie with green baubles and I had to order them separately once I found out one didn't come with the wig. I'm also not wearing the earrings because I want to save them for Comic Con Saturday.
What I found out about it is, firstly, the bow in the back is heavy and it's only held on by some Velcro. I'm gonna have Ed reinforce it somehow before Comic Con because I don't want it falling off all day. Secondly, the wig comes in two pieces: the front bit with the bangs and then the long ponytail that's connected to the first bit with one of those claw-like clips. That, too, is heavy. What I need to do is put my own hair in a ponytail at the base of my neck. The wig has a clip in it and if I fasten it under said ponytail that will keep the whole rig from falling off my head. I also need a new wig cap to keep the stray hairs at bay. Thirdly, if I move a certain way the cuffs of the shapewear I have on underneath shows but I don't care too much about that. I could hike up the cuffs a little if it really bothered me but it doesn't. I just can't bend over, lol. Fourthly, I need to put some Dr. Schols inserts in the shoes and wear some socks that won't be seen so I don't destroy my stockings with all the walking around.
All in all, though, I'm happy with it. :D I can't wait for Comic Con. ^^

Hey, I ended up sleeping til 11, so I've got no room to talk at all. Anyway, Carnival won Silver, and Phoenix is in Air.
Congrats! :D No luck with me and the Orchid or Amber though, sadly enough. I keep getting Pollen and Crystal dragons respectively. Meeeh.
DC: 1,099,534,417 -- which should be enough to cover everything on the Tenth Island but I'll wait until I've built up my cash flow a little more before summoning. G: 355. I'm not even thinking about the Eleventh Island right now -- too far in the future. I'm only a 4th of the way to Level 47.
Hey, what's there looks great! :D Rock that fuku! Though it's weird that the bow in the back would only be secured with Velcro. . .ease of getting it on and off again? *shrug* At least all the problems are little ones that are easily fixed. I remember when I did my Hysteria Alice costume, it took AGES to find proper striped stockings to go with it, and then the only pair we could find went up only to about mid-thigh. And it turned out to be chilly that Halloween too -- I ended up wearing shorts under my dress so I wouldn't freeze to death (didn't work particularly well).
Still, glad you're happy with it! :) Enjoy the Con!
