Commander Olivia Shepard, ladies and gentlemen!

What this really means is: I beat Mass Effect. It was awesome. So many explosions! So many cool shots of the Normandy! Between when I got on the Citadel and the end of the game I took like 33 screenshots. I'm not going to post them all, of course, I'll pick the best ones, but still - that's a lot. Usually I only take, like, four caps in two hours of gameplay. Tumblr spam incoming! :D

I've got Mass Effect 2 downloading. I'll probably let it go overnight, but I don't think I'll start playing until I get home tomorrow. I'll still have my darling Atropos with me, of course, I'll just be... not playing Mass Effect. Probably I'll keep working on the Mao+Nia piece I was doing today. You want to know what hell is? Hell is spending half an hour hand-shading a gradient only to realise, when you've finished, that the colours are in the wrong order.

Also, I've gotten some pretty weird reactions to my graphics tablet - I guess most people have never seen them before, so they're not quite sure what to make of them. Still, most people are like, "Oh, you use the stylus on it and it does stuff on the computer? Oh, I guess that's pretty cool." But this time, oh man. This girl was amazed. Like, I didn't notice until the people next to me were looking at her weird, but I turned around and she was just gaping at me and my tablet, and had been for about a full minute. It was... really weird.

Anyway, though sleep eludes me (so much excite!) I should probably try to get some anyway. I expect my eyes will become extremely heavy once I actually close them - that's benadryl for you, I suppose.
