Jaffa Cakes and Sodomy

Only up to level 14 on Portal: Prelude so far. D:

Granted I've been playing less than 2 hours according to Xfire, but still... I completed Portal itself in around 3 hours on my first playthrough - assuming level 19 goes on as long as the original did I'm severely behind schedule here.

So far I'm feeling pretty mixed about it. It's nice that someone's put so much effort into it, making a full unofficial prequel rather than just a plain level pack, and some of the levels so far have been really fun; nice, simple concepts with non-obvious but doable solutions. Others, on the other hand, are just plain cheap, forgoing actual puzzles in lieu of twitchy reflex nonsense based more on luck than thinking things out. Hopefully this won't apply much more - it's a lot more fun when you don't have to worry about niggles like getting a jump completely perfect, or shooting the floor 5 damn times to fling yourself far enough. In short; liking it, but preferring some of the standalone fan maps so far (This one in particular).

Also, the damn orange dye won't bleach out; hair is currently (as predicted) a streaky mix of blond and pastel pink. I can make it look better with the red gel until it's safe to bleach again though, I suppose. ^^;

Getting fed up of my hair like this - think I could do with a change.

*gets scissors & bleach*

ETA: I didn't realise I had so much hair D: - at least that's off now.

Peroxide burns so good... :3

ETA2: k - blond nao (although missed a bit at the back, and there's inexplicable pink streaks at front - dunno how that happened ^^; ). Debating whether to make it orange in whole, part or not at all. (Hell, I might have a smidgen of the green left - I could have it 5 colours if I'm careful :D )

Blond (and pink, and brown) me. :D

ETA3 - Decided to just go with all-orange.

If it looks as good when it's ready as it does now I'll be very happy :D (there's enough left for another coat if it doesn't though).

So far, so good...

ETA4 - I'm making a note here - HUGE SUCCESS

k... I found out my new phone number the other day, and told Tiscali, so they'll be transferring the broadband over now (probably be another week or so).

I bought Leopard yesterday, and so far it seems pretty nice (I made a backup just in case, but it turned out I didn't need it - everything survived the upgrade OK :) ). I'm having slight trouble with Apache, but it should be simple to sort it out when I get home and haven't got quite so much sake in me :)

Oh, and I got a new coat - it's full length black leather, and it's really billowy & dramatic-looking... I'll post pics when I get the chance :D
