This is what happens when you run out of Mersyndol

So, I ran out of Dolased/Mersyndol. There's one dose left and that won't last the night by any means. So, in sheer desperation, and asking my Mum if she thought it was a dumb idea (she said no), I took an oxy. Unbroken, whole, in pristine condition. I am waiting to see what it does to me this time around. I'm hoping after the ridiculous dose on Friday, it'll be a little cruisier on me this time. I hope. I was dizzy when I woke up this morning, and a bit tired, but I doubt that had anything to do with what happened on Friday.

Wish me luck. :O

So I totally caught the Minecraft bug.

What's Minecraft some of you may ask? The premise is fairly simple:

You are a little person (man is default, grr). You wander through the wilderness, and it is your job to survive. You subsist off of the land - you cut down trees to make tools, mine the ground and caverns for materials and gems, and with the blocks you collect, yu can build shit. EPIC SHIT. I play on the "Peaceful" mode because I don't enjoy zombies jumping out at me, but you can play it easy or play it "OMG ARMA-FUCKING-GEDDON!", whichever suits your style.

The biggest time-waster that people get sucked into in Minecraft is building shit. I love building shit. It's basically the bastard offspring of BOULDER DASH and a box of Legos.

So. The things I built? Just come mosey on under the cut. You want to, you really do.

( Cause I built a TARDIS and everything! )

Who Do You Think You Are? A Complete Fucking Asshole.

So I was half-watching "Who Do You Think You Are" the other day while eating dinner. Usually I'm really interested in that show, because they'll have people with families of varying backgrounds. It's especially good when they have people of colour on the show, because the stories of their ancestor's lives are usually incredible and deserving to be told. People need to know those stories, you know? They're important.

But the other day this guy was on:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Armstrong_%28comedian%29

I've never seen his work. He might be brilliant for all I know. But my sole introduction to this person was listening to him lament his ridiculously rich and wealthy ancestor's discovery that his good friend or relative or something didn't leave that ancestor his money and estates, and instead gave that money to their illegitimate daughters.

"Oh, I really feel for him!" he'd said.

Oh YES. Let's feel so sorry for this man sitting on a fuckton of money, with titles and rubbing shoulders with royalty. He had the chance to level up to DUKE by acquiring the land and titles of his friend/relative, damn it! But he got utterly *screwed* by a dude dying and having the UTTER TEMERITY to give all he had to his OWN FUCKING DAUGHTERS and mistress! How dare he give money to people he loved! People that had no way of making their own money, being women and all, and because they weren't the right kind of women, no doubt having even less of an easy time getting a comfortable place in the world. What an asshole!

I swear to God, this guy's episode was a full hour discovering how fucking rich his predecessors were. And then in the end he finds out his direct ancestor is William the fucking Conqueror.

Seriously. What a shit episode. I wanted to vomit at the end of it. This guy was pissing and moaning about his ancestors and the terrible times they went through. Fuck this guy. There were episodes where people of colour were crying because their families had been torn apart by slavery. And you know what? THAT is the point where you feel sad for your fucking ancestors.

You know what? If I unearthed an ancestor like the one he'd described? I'd be as depressed as hell. "My ancestor was a fuck-knuckle," I'd say, right on air.
