Hey, [livejournal.com profile] dramaturgca, now that I have a new computer that's able to handle even complex Java with ease, I finally ordered my Urq mugs (three, as I am doing them anyway) from Cafepress.

They're going to look like this:

yakalskovich: (Urquhart is looking at you strangely thr)
Just now, in GTalk:

Me: Yadda yadda yadda horrible slavery! I was here at 20 to 10 today! There's not enough coffee in the world!

Nazgul: And I was going to ask you how about going swimming on Friday.

Me: **thinks about ahhhhhh warm water, drifting about while looking at marine monsters on the ceiling** Not a bad idea! But not all that late.

Nazgul: deadpanDo you have to take Urquhart for walkies afterwards?

Me: **almost snarfs what coffee there is onto screen** ROFL!!!! Erm, yes, I'd quite like to be home in the evening for RPing.


Actually, it's not so much Urq on Friday, rather the last day of fashion shoots in Morningstar Manor for which I play the photographer (my main charrie there) and the designer (an NPC), but anyway, yes, I want the RL excursion done before RP gets hopping and people want me there. And while it's generally nice that RL people take that into account, I find it hilarious how the Nazgul put it in words.-

I don't use LJ-Login to change between my charries in Firefox, I assign browsers to the main logins that stay logged in in that browser. My standard browser is Firefox, though.

I just changed the permanent login in Firefox to Urquhart's, and assigned Teja to Flock. That means Urq's now technically my main Milli!character.

And he's going to come to Morningstar Manor as well, 'translated' for that world. Plot is brewing that'll keep us amused for some time.

So, my brain has been officially consumed.



Help I have this crazy straight bloke in my headspace...!!!

I just allowed a Wagner opera (in which Siegfried was some blue dreadlocked orc with bare legs and big boots) to run on my telly, promptly fell asleep, and woke up two hours later to a some terribly TMI-y medical discussion program.

Argh!!!

That is two hours of prime tagging time I am not getting back. And a pint of chocolate ice ream melted, and half a pint of boilermaker gone stale.

And I missed [livejournal.com profile] essayel coming back online, telling me she had tagged, and signing off again after I just didn't answer.

And others were discussing my charrie again in an utterly heart-warming manner. Teja, not Urquhart, of course; I doubt one can discuss Urquhart in a heart-warming manner at all.-

Apologies to all I dropped thread on; I am catching up now.

**grrrrrrs at Wagner**

Earlier tonight, though, I got to use Urquhart's bizarrely anachronistic phone icon for the first time ever in this utterly fun thread with [livejournal.com profile] corchen 's newest character in [livejournal.com profile] mixed_muses.
yakalskovich: (Lupus in fabula)
This is probably going to be quite a nice movie.-
yakalskovich: (Lucifer the cat)
There's snow outside. Hot tea to wake me up. Purring cats on my divan with me. A hot bath in my immediate future, before work, to keep [livejournal.com profile] nazgulwears' cold from even considering to settle on me next.

And a thread of others discussing my pup to read. Again. Urquhart is a bit of a plot centrifuge, really. He touches somebody, and they start reacting and talking to others and preparing a way to deal with the dangerous lunatic.

While being quite a success with the women. That's canon, too, in the way he charms Maria -- before shooting her through the eye, of course. Saffron is the most fascinating of them, a challenge and an equal, but really, he'll take what he can.

He does, by the way, absolutely take 'No' for an answer, no hard feelings or persecutions. He will argue that he gets his women with either charm or money (totally willing to pay for a professional and use her services, that's canon as well), and the day that neither will get him laid in some way is probably the day he should give up trying. So if he flirts with your female charrie? He'll have no problem with being brushed off, nor cause one for your pup.-
yakalskovich: (Lupus in fabula)
Most of my 'main' RP charries have been more or less gay, if they were male. Now, for the first time, I have a batshit insane mostly* straight bloke sharing my brainmeats on a regular basis.

He's been quite impressed by a number of women in [livejournal.com profile] milliways_bar and [livejournal.com profile] mixed_muses, but the most impressive of them was Saffrom, from Firefly.

What a woman! the 'headvoice' keeps going. How canny, skilful, clever, independent, beautiful, interestingly dangerous and enticingly devious! What stamina! What BOOBS!!

And I the poor Urq-ridden mun, after resisting steadfastly for weeks, yesterday gave in and borrowed 'Firefly' on DVD again. for the sole purpose of re-watching the two episodes with Saffron in them.

*sigh*

And then, today, this. The actress is, apparently, more or less the female lead in one of the three or five most cutting-edge TV series that haven't made it over here, and caught some flak over her dress at the Golden Globes, with a nasty side order of snide comments about her body shape (which latter infuriate me, no Urq involved).

"No", my inner!Urq comments, after thinking some crossbow-shaped thoughts and dismissing them. "She'll have their balls. Lightly sautéed. Will be fun to watch. No need to meddle. It's her, after all."



* Merc called him a 'three-beer queer', and yes, he'll do a bloke for the sake of novelty, if there are wings or other strangeness involved, to lace his pleasure with a little cruelty and domination, or to prove the point he has the morals of an alley cat and won't shy away from unconventional pleasures. But really, given the choice, he likes women. Unconventional independent ones with no false modesty, that take as good as they give, and aren't likely to make him apologise later.
yakalskovich: (Lupus in fabula)
And again, it's fun to read other people's pups discussing my charrie.

I feel there is a very odd anti-Urq coalition forming. Which is quite hilarious, as they have one in his canon, too.-

ETA: Do read the thread; the way Guppy takes poor neglected Jools under his wing is really cute!
yakalskovich: (Lupus in fabula)
You know, it's helpful to type out canon. With Teja's canon, I did get the high-falutin style before I translated some of it, but the weird disjointed punctuation I only picked up when I translated reams of it.

With Urquhart, it's short sentences and more carriage returns than strictly needed.

Putting them out there for effect.

Like this.

I can do this...

Yay!

I can has Urquhart. For real. In Milliways.

Ahahahahah Milliways beware: Crazy medieval Scottish professional killer incoming!

No, and it doesn't mean I 'won't be wanting' to do anything else tonight...

Also, I closed the bet now -- three bet on violence, four on business. Nobody bet on sex. Let's see what he does get arrested for.


PS: Extra kudos to [livejournal.com profile] camwyn for processing all the apps at once!


ETA: And just tonight, [livejournal.com profile] wanderlustlover posted Urquhart icons for me from the Secret Santa Icon exchange. Eeeeeeeee I squee like a happy fangirl and RPer!
yakalskovich: (Lupus in fabula)
Urquhart has been promoted from 'I will app him in January' to 'I have sent the app, and he is in the queue for Milliways'.

Now I can stop pumping my wings like a chafer beetle about to take flight, and instead wibble the wibble of those with charries in the apping queue...

**grins at self**

I'm going to cook rice now for the sushi orgy I'm planning with the Nazgul; I have 'The Water Horse' on DVD because something Scottish would be fun for New Year's Eve; Urquhart's application is sitting in 'Drafts', ready to be sent as soon as the announcement goes up in the Backroom tonight or tomorrow morning.

I am ready for 2010!
yakalskovich: (Lupus in fabula)
Not that I don't like Christmas or don't want to do sushi on New Year's Eve with the Nazgul, or anything. But really, I can't wait to properly app Urquhart ([livejournal.com profile] scots_wolf). He's moving into my brain as energetically as no charrie since Teja has done.

He's already acquired a 'theme song', a poem that he quotes in canon.

Here's the version of it that occurs in Orff's 'Carmina Burana', and this one is the Corvus Corax version.


Oh, and just to research history in order to properly evoke that world! Can you get addicted to the past?
