I Just Want to be a Gay Jedi
Jul. 18th, 2012 10:49 pmThree Things (the Fuck You Earnings Edition)
1. Had my surreal job moment of the week yesterday when I edited a press release about Fifty Shades of Grey. Someone actually paid my company hundreds of dollars so that journalists all over the country would know about the socio-psychological effect on American women caused by terrible BDSM Twilight fanfiction and I had to call them and tell them their commas were wrong. HOW IS THIS MY LIFE. HOW IS THIS OUR UNIVERSE.
2. I drove a car on an actual road today. With other people on it. I had to stop at stop signs and signal my turns and not run down innocent pedestrians like a teenage boy playing Grand theft Auto. I crossed a moderately busy multi-lane street twice. And somehow, despite all expectations to the contrary, both I and the car are still in one piece (and so are the pedestrians, as far as I know). I am still somewhat boggled by this.
3. Why can't I find a same-sex romance mod for Knights of the Old Republic? I bought the game on a whim yesterday morning in the Steam sale (because 2003 games are about as much as my laptop can handle, and hey, $2.50, why the fuck not?), and now that I'm playing it, I rather desperately want to male-romance Carth. And yet the internet refuses to accommodate me with mods. (I can't female-romance him, because I'm saving my female build for the lesbian romance - I do have the mods for that - and I'm not playing this game through a third time just to be straight.) KOTOR fans, I am disappointed in you.
