Had one of my critique meetings today with a possible reviewer. I have never met a person more critical - he sounds like he's yelling everything he says. Which is... well, I can tell you it doesn't make the critique-taking process any easier.
EDIT: Actually, now that I've thought about it, he kind of reminds me of someone I met once at [EB]. Starts with an... L?

a funny thing happened on the way to the forum
Recently attended the lovely ceremony of two of my oldest and dearest friends. Old in that I knew them the longest, not that they are the physically oldest people I know. Though the groom is getting up there. I give him two years before the grey takes over and he is left looking aged and distinguished until he opens his mouth and accent-swears or throws something at somebody.
Anyway, it was all very beautiful, and I forever wish [C] and [L] happiness. What would they do without each other? Trip and die, probably. Although...
ANYWAY, I introduced [R] to them that day and I think everything went great because we all expected the monkeys to freak out, but they didn't. [R]'s smooth like that. Also, good with monkeys. Who would've guessed it. Man can't even stand it when I talk about owning two cats. Tsk. Cats are, like, monkeys but better. Well... I would take a monkey. As long as he didn't pull my hair. Yeah, it'd be a 'he'. I'd name him Tiberius. It is decided.
I wonder if [C] still has any of those monkeys left...
Nothing beats the helicopters, though. Seriously, people. Want a cool wedding? Helicopters.
Somehow, I'd never seen a person do something like that before in a flying vehicle.

it's almost time for the big one
Purchased several more scarves today. It's totally okay because people out here think that if the wind picks up then it's winter-chill. And it's not like it doesn't get sorta nippy at night or anything.
Anyway, there was a far less tiny earthquake while I was shopping. Some stuff fell down and I caught a dude pocketing some of the fallen figurines in the scramble - oh, this wasn't while I was getting scarves, I may have tucked off to a nearby comics & games store, but it was definitely within my budget okay - so, like, what kind of person takes advantage of a natural disaster? I jumped him, of course.
After explaining things to the police, they even apologized for the inconvenience! They didn't have to, though; I'd never worn handcuffs before, so that was neat.
