Huzzah!
Rejoice, for I have come once more, back to my homely little home~ Aaaaand, immediately ran out of things to say <_<
Got out on Saturday and was welcomed back by friends aplenty, I'm currently installed back in my room, under the implicit instruction that I'm only to be allowed out of bed on a wheelchair and not to spend more than a few hours out without keeping the leg elevated, whilst returning home means that I'm all rigged up with a traction system keeping me tied to the bed and the leg properly extended and raised
I guess these are the perks of having a nurse who can vouch for me not getting into hijinks if they let me loose early >3
Well... as many of you may have likely already guessed?
After the night of rejoice and settling back in, Sunday, was Age of Extinction day!
My first day of real freedom and I'd willingly volunteered to go sit in a theater and watch a Michael Bay transformers movie, after hearing JUST how much the quality spoke for it XP
http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=2096
I was quite honestly terrified, but I felt as my beloved fandom, I had to witness this train wreck first hand to fairly give my own two cents...
Aaaaaaaand, honestly?
I didn't hate it =o
I dunno if it was just entering with low expectations... (My words were, 'If this is at least not as bad as the new Turtles movie, I'll be happy', that in itself is a rant worthy of another day and journal, lol) or if the movie just knew where to hit me =O
Lockdown... is the movie's main antagonist, or at least the one who gets most screentime, and by far he is the most competent and imposing villain the Transformers live action movies have portrayed in the last ten years
For a character who started life as a creation in the shortlived Animated cartoon, to get a toy and cameo in the backstories of the second live action movie, Lockdown has been escalated into main story status and the movie really did itself great, especially compared to previous ones on sharing screen time between transformers and humans
It's by no means perfect and I can see at least a half hour could've likely been scrubbed by the editing team to make it more palpable, certainly I felt the time frame, although that may have been influenced by my leg after so long in the chair and out of traction, I felt an ache that had me asking for us to hit the door without waiting to see if there was anything post credits
That can wait for another day I guess when I see it again, lol
SAYING THAT, the movie was by no means near perfect,but certainly I enjoyed it as a fan and hope it's maybe a sign of improvement for the movies to come, especially with a seeded plotline to follow the movies to come
It's not perfect, but I was happy enough with the movie =B
We ordered pizza when we got home, and just enjoyed the time we had, before next day and Tuesday saw me gtting installed in my out of office office in the bed, lol, catching up on some work
Tonight? A few friends came round with Magic, I got some trades in and am happy with how my decks are turning out, with thoughts sent forward now to the weekend and the big pre-release to look forward to, hoping I can get through it alright, but it was pretty awesome to be able to call the store and they said I'd be alright with the chair, that they had contingencies to avoid moving around the draft and such, which means I'm good to go there =D
...
Now I just need to face my dilemma <_< Angels or Demons... which shall I seek for my aid?
XD Journal for another day mayhap
Now, PART of that M15 draft happening is much thanks to
Nathancowan supplementing my entertainment budget with a comic commish! So... since that'll be this Sunday? I only think it's fair he sees some reward before that date =B
I'm hoping I can manage something special with this one, lol, as a PWYW, not sure what scale to use, but this is something I'm going to enjoy anyhow ^^
That's all for now, will update this as fancy takes me! =3 Thanks for all the notes and such guys! Feeling a lot better back home in my own bed and wanna keep doing so!
Look forward to speaking to you all separately!

Now those angels you can't trust, they want to impose all those creeds and doctrines on you, make you follow their codes! At least the demons let you do want!
So yeah, side with the demons, I say this not at all because I'm biased in my B/R deck preferences XD
Resolute Angel would be AWESOME for an EDH deck, having a promo art of her would be a sweet commodity for this, so my pick is influenced by further love for later days, yet that Indulgent Tormentor... either your opponent loses 3 life, sacs a monster OR gives you a card? >_>
It's like Christmas Time in Hell! EVERY TURN! So WHAT if he's only got 3 toughness, he's got 3 awesome effects EVERY TURN! Plus Flying!
This makes me wish I had never gotten rid of my ob nixilius Dx
Gonna hate my friend for homing in on that to take out my Sissay deck
Hasn't stopped Transformers steamrolling box office, though, even if some people are contesting inflated figures o.O
If they had Sylvester Stallone voice him and everyone else in the movie was human?
I'd go watch it.
But yeah, AoE was NOT as bad as I had hoped and I'm okay with this =B
A number of people asked me about this =B I do look forward to any technology that let's me comfortably bathe while healing and also boosts chance to heal?
But the only thing is? The ONLY casts I've seen shown off with this new tech is wrist breaks, or forearm breaks, they've yet to display any full arm or leg casts; possibly due to constraints about the material and the application over such large areas, or particularly, the stress it creates on the cast if it's made to be weight bearing for your leg
I keep my fingers crossed and ears open for any progress on this front =B
