Well, said post will most likely not be coming in the next couple of days. My ferret is really, really sick, possibly dying. So, yeah. Not good.
Edit: The Internet may have provided a solution! His symptoms (weakness of the back legs, lethargy, even thinner than a ferret should be, not eating or drinking for days) might have been caused by too little sugar, so the suggested solution was honey on the gums. I put it on, and 10 minutes later he was drinking lots of water and may possibly have taken a bite of food. The "may possibly" is because I couldn't tell if he sniffed it or ate it. Still taking the little guy to the vet, though.
Edit: It's gotten worse. He's stopped being able to drink water that isn't put directly on his lips, and the food he can down practically IS water.

A new post will exist once I get bored of teaching myself to program. Which probably will not occur until I've finished programming in one weekend something that will take the rest of my ComSci class until Christmas to finish.
The post will be about spoons, most likely.

I have acquired the Libris Mortis. It contains the template applied to Evil Jesi, called Necropolitans. They get stuck to a cross with cursed nails and stabbed while people call out to dark gods.
I have no idea why they decided to make it work like that, but it's funny.

OMFG, a plot! It's amazing!
Okay, for the purposes of my plot, I'm going to move the implantation thingy forward a bit. It'll happen after the start.
Basically, the book starts out with your standard Messiah, complete with Orphan's Plot Trinket and prophecy. It follows around a random friend/servant of said Messiah who's slightly jealous of the Messiah's Messiah-ness as they help a group participating in guerrilla warfare against the Sculi. It's implied during a couple of raids that the Messiah has a bit more Dark in him than he'd like to admit.
After a couple of raids, the servant/friend gets approached by a representative of a Cani leader who supports liberation from the Sculi. Said leader wants the Messiah to test the Totems. Servant wrestles with himself a bit over whether to use the totem himself, since that would give him the power he's been jealous of, or give it to the Messiah because he thinks said Messiah could help more people. He decides to give it to the Messiah... and the Messiah has a Super Power Meltdown where he ends up charging the enemy encampment and turning it into a wasteland while dying from his powers hitting himself.
Cue Heroic BSOD followed by Quest For The Truth to figure out why the Messiah went batshit.

You know PZ's post about how the "Don't believe in god? You're not alone" billboards in Iowa were taken down for being offensive?
Ken Ham thinks this means PZ hates theists. (It's at the bottom of the post.)

Edit: Aww, no response? I was hoping this would get at least some comments... =/
Okay, I've been lazy for long enough now. Time to get back to my book-writing project thingymabob.
This is a basic summary of the history of the book-world as it relates to the plot. This is a general outline; I'm not going to be going in-depth with a description of every single war and king and whatever.
In ancient times, back when both races had extremely primitive and tribal cultures, the Canis enslaved the Sculi due to the fact that they could use magic and the Sculi can't in between endless wars with each other. The Sculi, pissed off at this, attempted to replicate the controlling of Animus the Canis accomplished when the Canis weren't looking, and eventually found a way to channel Animus through an external object rather than their own body. They escape, and train in magic. A few decades later, an army of magic-trained Sculi used the fact that they weren't limited to a single element and had mostly unified to devastate the Canis and squash any idea on the Canis's part of trying to once again enslave them. After that, they sorta retire to a remote area and force the Canis to occasionally pay tribute to them.
Fast forward a couple thousand years. Tensions between the Canis and Sculi are extremely high due to the Canis's steadily improving tech and a move towards one (oligarchical) government; they're at approximately industrial revolution level tech at the time. The Sculi attempt to quash technology because it helps the Canis nearly equal the Sculi's improved magic in combat, and one government might lead to large, organized uprisings.
Of course, this causes uprisings.
One major leader for the Canis who strongly supports overthrowing the Sculi starts work on a magical implantation to increase the Canis's magical abilities so that they can use more than one element; it begins testing by implanting them into the members of a group of renegades who rely on guerrilla warfare shortly before the story begins.

I became crazy enough to look at the comments on an Edward Current YouTube video.
Nearly half of them thought it was actually serious.

Apparently my brother gave a resume to the FBI while at a job-hunting fair thingy today...
Given that he's studying psychology, this seemed rather odd to me.

Anyone know what can cause one of those laptop mousepad thingies to stop acknowledging input? The button parts still work, but I can't scroll or move the mouse or anything. I also made sure I hadn't accidentally set it so that it required an enormous amount of pressure to move or something.
