Winter's Random Thoughts.

[Morgan Evanar]

333 posts is enough posts.

Go away bug. I will defeat you with sleep.

[Dasquian Belargic]

gimme dat job :ohno

[Crusader]

Jenny you did your best and you will see everything will be fine in the end. Hell you have now beaten everyone except for 6 other people or even more. Someone ,who is as passionate about games as you, are should definetly get a job like this.
Last year around that time I got lucky with my job offer as well so you can do that!!!

[Captain Untouchable]

I know this screenshot exists.

I've seen it.

Okay, so I could just roll backwards three meters on my chair, grab the DVD, drop it in the drive and take the screenshot for myself. But I know the internet has it somewhere.

DAMN IT INTERNET GIVE ME WHAT I WANT. :mad

[Ilias Nytrau]

Eeeeee, DEER!

So cute and yet so tasty looking, all at once. :yum

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

It is what it is.

[Peter McCoy]

Paul McCartney concert was awesome! What a way to end a tour in your hometown! Fucking legend without peer!

[Rutabaga]

I'm tired of working for crazy bitches who constantly tell me how to do my job and criticize me for not doing it the way they want it done without ever having done the job themselves. They are living in a damn fantasy world where their goals are impossible.

Yes, I am in a bad mood. :grumble

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Sweet beats in da MRI

What's the point of directing me to your website, if your website will also be offline? :cyduck

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

The Winter Car Curse continues....FUCK

Somebody just bring me alcohol ok?

[Morgan Evanar]

Shit, what now?

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Every winter I have an accident or some kind of collision. It's happened without fail since 2008. Some doucher side-swiped me in the parking lot yesterday it seems. I didn't find out until I plucked the Tuscaloosa PD case # card out of my wiper blades today and called. They asked about the collision, I went outside, and saw my scuffed paint.

Bleh.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Out of the saw shop and into weaving support :D and not only that, but I get to go home early :eee

[Dasquian Belargic]

Early finishes ftw! Now, lesse if I can kick this cold to avoid being sick the entire time I'm off work...

[Park Kraken]

I feel fortunate that the only thing stolen from me so far this year is a single parking space.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

half a middle finger, one index finger, a thumb... and all the finishing to do?

Yeah... I got this. >_>;

[Crusader]

half a middle finger, one index finger, a thumb... and all the finishing to do?

Sounds like you are working on one of those Saw assignements.

[Captain Untouchable]

Have had a song / tune / thing stuck in my head all night. Have been trying frantically to remember what it is, so that I can listen to it in full and help it escape from my brain.

I have just realised it is from the soundtrack of Power Rangers: The Movie. >_<

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Making my first apple pie. I'm not much of a pastry person so this ought to be interesting!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Too many sketchbooks, not enough shelf space >_<

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Good night with good friends, new and old.

[Morgan Evanar]

A White Christmas would wipe out most of the vegetation. I still wish it was 20* colder.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Put a video up on Facebook of the alien baby in my tummy. Six days until she comes out...

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I just watched that. It's really surreal in a way, lol.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You should feel it from the inside :x

Just kidding, feeling the baby move is my favorite part, but if she's pummeling me down low there are round ligaments down there that can quite literally take your breath away. And right now it's like I'm Stretch Armstrong, or something.

[Charley]

Made browned butter sugar cookies. They're the most stupidly unhealthy things on earth. Aside from the questionable nutritional value of vanilla extract, not a single ingredient classifies as wholesome. Fat, carbs, sugar, and salt. There's not even *water* in the recipe.

[Captain Untouchable]

Today's brain-fuzzled thought: was Bilbo's trip in The Hobbit really "An Unexpected Journey"?

I mean sure, the dwarves showing up was pretty unexpected. But he did know about the journey before it started. It's not like he woke up one morning and suddenly was all "Holy crap I'm on a horse! Where am I going?"

I guess The Hobbit: A Journey With Little Prior Notice isn't quite so catchy. :\

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Dr. Who has been invaded by the Brotherhood of Steel... And they painted their armor... Yellow?

[Morgan Evanar]

Today has been a good day.

[Captain Untouchable]

Dr. Who has been invaded by the Brotherhood of Steel... And they painted their armor... Yellow?

...Bill Bailey is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel? :|

[Dasquian Belargic]

How much mucus can one human body produce? Fffffffffffff

[Sanis Prent]

Next Christmas we're only serving health food. Holy shit I am tired of sweets

[Dasquian Belargic]

Balls to that! The meaning of Christmas is getting bloated and tired from eating too many roast dinners.

[Park Kraken]

This year's feast was the usual course of Sauerbraten Roast with Gingersnap Gravy, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Heart Attack Mac, Stuffing, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Fruit Salad, and a Vegetable Tray with Red Velvet Cake and Cheesecake for Dessert. I plead guilty to stuffing myself too full on three counts, and also on three counts of toiletslaughter in the 2nd subsequently. I am currently awaiting a verdict of a lot of exercise.

[Avis Satyra]

After playing several female characters with a variety of body types, I think I can safely say that the person did the character modelling for Star Wars: The Old Republic was definately an ass-man.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Even the male characters have asses worthy of a DAT ASS macro.

At least Gunner does, anyway :hat

[Cor Leonis]

:|

Not only is the female Smuggler voiced by the Russian/Wind Planeteer from Captain Planet... the African/Earth one was voiced by LeVar Burton. Oh, and said female Planeteer is also Phil and Lil from the Rugrats. And Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Mind = Blown. :cyduck



Edit:

In other words, I just realised that the song I've been humming to myself while running around Coruscant shooting things is the theme from Mass Effect. >_<

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr

[Bryna Belargic]

Get in there you big.. furry oaf! I couldn't care less.. what you smell!

[Dragon]

That video ruined my ability to hear the Superman theme without hearing those lyrics in my head.

[Crusader]

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur

Muhaha Somebody has been watching big bang theory :D

Someone told me the other day that I'm "Like Sheldon, only with less autism."

I'm not sure if it was a compliment or not... :uhoh

[Dasquian Belargic]

That video ruined my ability to hear the Superman theme without hearing those lyrics in my head.

I have his problem with every theme tune featured in that video.

Kiss a wookiee, kick a droid, fly th falcon through an asteroid!

Long. Time ago. Far. Far away! Long. Time ago. Far. Far away...

[Lilaena De'Ville]

So, no baby today as planned before, baby sometime in the next 1-3 weeks instead.

I am spending a lot of time trying really hard not to be irrationally angry at everyone and everything. Sometimes rationally angry, too. Still. Thankfully we get to go on a date tonight and take advantage of the babysitter we had lined up for the induction that will not be happening.

[Captain Untouchable]

Rhakgouls and Nexu?

Taris is a planet of nightmares. :ohno

Jenny, that is the most winningest avatar ever!

[Dasquian Belargic]

I know :swoon:

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Ugh. No more crap food.

[Morgan Evanar]

It's actually kinda cold here. It's the wind, though, which is the real "problem".

[Nínim]

To the Professor!

[Wyl Staedtler]

Happy late Christmas, New Year, etc etc!

Back from Botswana after getting camp set up and preliminary boundaries tracked into the satellite program. It's exhausting and wildly beautiful work and I can't wait to get back to it, though preferably once I've shaken this current so-thickly-dizzy-with-fatigue-I-will-faceplant-into-a-hobo's-crotch-for-sleep jetlag. :)

Anyways, I'm back in Hawaii for two weeks to sort out last minute details with selling my house (finally!!! it sold!!!!) and then it's back off to work until September, then October 19th I'm on a boat for three weeks to Civitivecchia (sp?) so that I can bum around before heading to the UK for the holiday season. Christmas in Durham! Fanatical stalking in my jersey in Liverpool! Drinking everrrrywhere!

Anywho, love you all so very much and hope you're doing well. Here's wishing a bright and fulfilling 2012 to all. :hug

[Dasquian Belargic]

Liz! :hug good to see ya.

Christmas in Durham? For reals? You know that is just up the road from me, right?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Liz!!! :hug

Miss you tons! So glad you're doing great :D If you're available, we're doing Dragon*Con again this year and a weeklong party at the house afterward, plus going to an Alabama game :D We'd LOVE to have you out again!!!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yay you didn't get eaten up!

Boo, you're not coming to visit me anymore. :(

[Dasquian Belargic]

PS anyone replying to Liz's text, you are also somehow sending your replies to my phone too!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yah, I figured that out after my initial one, lol. Since she sent a group text, all replies go to everyone, just like a reply-all email. :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Incidentally, I didn't even receive the initial text so I just got your reply and was like ... :huh

[Wyl Staedtler]

Boo I will not be able to make Dcon as I will still be in Botswana and then ZOOM, getting my European rambler on =(

Jenny, we will party, yes? Apparently it's ridiculously cheap to catch a bus from Durham. CAN I COUCH SURF? Also owl tats. And France for stick taunting?)

(I'm typing this from an iPad, which is way too high tech and confusing for me, so if this is disjointed it's because I am presently consumed with anxiety and frothing aversion to this strange mechanical devilry. DNW. D=)

[Captain Untouchable]

LIZ!!! :glomp

Quick, someone grab some rope! We're going to tie her down, and then...

Uh...

Then...

:mischief

[Wyl Staedtler]

Psh, you don't have to tie me down for that. ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

But it's such fun!



Jenny, we will party, yes? Apparently it's ridiculously cheap to catch a bus from Durham. CAN I COUCH SURF? Also owl tats. And France for stick taunting?)

Durham is about 30 mins away from the toon so you can get here super cheap/fast on bus or train. Couch surfing is mandatory.

Owl tats and French stick taunting... oui oui mademoiselle.

[Wyl Staedtler]

SO excited. I basically have no time constraints other than having to be in Durham for Xmas and in Germany by March. Freestylin', yo: it's not just for in the bedroom.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Ty's been puking off and on since the middle of the night and my due date is Friday. Hope I don't get sick. Hope I don't go into labor while HE is so sick.

Really hope the kids don't get sick.

:cry

[Morgan Evanar]

Fingers crossed...

[Crusader]

Where to in Germany Liz? If you make it into the south and have some extra time we can definetly arrange something.

[Zenas Codrey]

And we're writing again! I hope I can make it last.

I know that there's an entire cast of people, and that Scotty spends most of his time in the engine room... but I can't help hoping there's a Shaun of the Dead versus Sherlock scene in Star Trek 2. :ohno

Freiburg? Frieburg? I always forget which one. Right outside Frankfurt. I will definitely have time, mate! As it stands right now, I've got my passage to Italy bought and paid for, arriving 10 November. I expect to be in Switzerland from about the 16/17th - 23rd/24th, then I drive over to Germany and am there until... 18th December? 19th? Something like that, I'll check my flight. From there it's to London (hotel paid for today!) to meet up with fam and such until the 21st, at which point I nip down with a mate to Durham to hole up for the holidays, then to darling Jenny's and somewhere between there and March (back in Germany) there is France, Wales, Ireland, anywhere the wind takes me.

And then possibly back to the UK for May and then back to Germany in June for keepsies. Unless the jobs in the Ukraine and/or Prague work out, in which case Germany for the summer and then there in the fall.

Oy. :D

[Crusader]

If you mean the Freiburg im Breisgau that is like a 2 hour drive away from Frankfurt. That would be cool since I have family there.
Frankfurt itself is just a 1 hour drive away from Martina's place.

[Wyl Staedtler]

Excellent, we shall all definitely have to get together! If it's more convenient for me to meet you guys somewhere else, I can. My German mama has decreed that I'm hers for March (she does it in the sweetest way possible but there is no mistaking that it's an order ;)) but my plans are very, very malleable.

In civilized news, Cuban espresso, water from the tap, vegetables other than tubers and field greens: I will miss you all so very, very much. :cry

[Sanis Prent]

Cuban espresso

Normal espresso made by a guy named Jose?

[Wyl Staedtler]

Nein, es ist kubanisch Espresso in einer kaffeemaschine auf dem Herd gemacht.

...I feel like that`s wrong somehow.

BUT ANYWAY. Cafe Braselo, I think is the brand? Super strong andutterly addicting when made in a stovetop percolator. ;)

[Wyl Staedtler]

I lied! I think it`s Cafe Bustelo.

It`s reminiscient of boobs in <i>some</i> way.

[Crusader]

Let me fix this for you (© by Jace)

Nein, es ist kubanischer Espresso, weil er in einer kaffeemaschine auf dem Herd gemacht wird .

WTF!? That's shit, that is! What a legend! RIP mate!

[Captain Untouchable]

Someone pointed out to me today that it is more socially acceptable to be a Justin Bieber fan than it is to be a science fiction fan.

The world is way fucked up. :(

Should repost that as "Someone talked a load of shit today!"

[Morgan Evanar]

Maybe if you're 12 and a girl.


I fucked up my left shoulder this past weekend ow ow ow ow ow.

[Captain Untouchable]

Try reading what I actually said, not what you think I said. ;)

I never said that I liked Justin Bieber - and neither did he. It was just a comment on society, particularly in this country. People can go out to scream and shriek at a Justin Bieber concert, and can buy his stupid face plastered across everything: but if you walk up to the counter with a Star Trek calendar or talk about going to a scifi convention, and people look at you like you're a freak. Remember: we don't have big ComicCon type conventions in this country, so convention-going isn't quite as widespread an activity as it might be in America.

Liking Bieber is not acceptable to me personally, but it certainly seems to be acceptable as far as society is concerned.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I don't know anyone who thinks Bieber is acceptable, outside of if you're a teenage girl :P and no, most of the people I know aren't geeks. Outside of you guys, I interact with very few geeks on a day-to-day basis.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

What's not to like about the Bieber? :swoon:

No, seriously. I mean, I'm not a screaming fan and I could probably count the songs of his that I could actually identify on two fingers, but the kid is nice and wholesome and talented. If pre-teens have to crush on someone famous (and they do), Bieber is a pretty good target. Don't be a hater! ;)

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm not, but as an Adult Male he is just not worth any attention. Me liking nerdy things as an adult is way more acceptable than liking the Beebs, which was my point.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Now if you want to swoon, try the Backstreet Boys. :swoon:

[Crusader]

Now I can officialy claim that video games killed my sanity. Today at work I caught myself pressing I for inventory because I wanted to pull something out of the "My Documents" folder...

...beware you infidel since I will be using my Excel list +5 on your warlock report.

[Hobgoblin]

What's not to like about the Bieber? :swoon:

No, seriously. I mean, I'm not a screaming fan and I could probably count the songs of his that I could actually identify on two fingers, but the kid is nice and wholesome and talented. If pre-teens have to crush on someone famous (and they do), Bieber is a pretty good target. Don't be a hater! ;)

Nice, wholesome, talented, and utterly boring. He hasn't grown past typical pop themes. When/if he shifts gears like Justin Timberlake did, I think he'll be poised to be something rad. Just depends on what he wants to do with his adult life.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

haha, guys, guys, I didn't say *I* love him. I'm indifferent. I'm just saying, he's a necessary evil. Or necessary good? Boring and bland is what I'd want in my girls' teenage idol, for realsie.

[Vince]

Gah, I think perhaps you guys' writing mojo decided to crash at my place. I gots ideas flowing left and right up in here.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

3-11 permanent. Sucks, but gotta be done :(

[Hobgoblin]

haha, guys, guys, I didn't say *I* love him. I'm indifferent. I'm just saying, he's a necessary evil. Or necessary good? Boring and bland is what I'd want in my girls' teenage idol, for realsie.

Last time I checked, no one said you loved him. Someone expressing an opinion different from yours does not automatically translate to a personal description or criticism of you.

That said, I view him as neither necessary nor good. Talented, yes, but not good.

[Morgan Evanar]

[Dragon]

The prevalence of Bieber in this thread is making me question whether these thoughts truly are random! Have we conducted due diligence to ensure a random distribution? How can we generalize across the population of winter thoughts without a truly random sample aaaaaaahhhh!!!

[Vince]

We have to get some sort of central authority to oversee the distribution of Randomness.

WE ARE THE 66.66666%! SHARE THE RANDOMNESS!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Here, look at this tiny frog! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16491477

[Wyl Staedtler]

That reminds me of the tiny baby frog that Fitz and I found late one night after returning from the toilet (look, we lived in an open-air house in the bush with a Xhosa housekeeper, going anywhere in the dark was a two-man job unless you wanted to be eaten by the Tokoloshi.) We were so delighted and provided a lovely home for him in a water glass so that we could properly enjoy him the next day.

Alas, we did not think to put any sort of landscape in the glass. Poor chap drowned. The sight of his microscopic corpse floating in lazy circles on the surface of the water, wee limbs akimbo in frozen desperation, is one that will forever haunt us. :(

[Captain Untouchable]

Here, look at this tiny frog! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16491477

That's not a tiny frog... it's just sitting on a giant coin.

Bloody scientists and their optical illusions. :shakefist

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I feel I need to state that the Bieber-chat on my part was partly tongue in cheek and meant to be amusing ...and I certainly don't feel like I need to be told that other people are allowed to have opinions. Like, really?

Anyway I'm having my baby on Saturday guess I'll see you guys around.

[Droo]

I'll be thinking of you guys on Saturday, Hol. I was going to offer you well wishes but I'm not quite sure what is considered appropriate etiquette when it comes to baby-birthing, I'm hardly an expert, and you're practically a seasoned pro so I'm sure you hardly need any such well wishes, but nevertheless, the sentiment is there. Sentiment here, all up in this post! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Baby! :D

[Crusader]

I hope you have a "calm" and easy birth, Holly. After all the third one should be a walk in the park by now ;)

We will be all looking forward to baby pictures ... as always!

Be save!

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm sure you're at the point where you just want the baby out. May your birth be as painless and undramatic as possible.

[Morgan Evanar]

Also I am moving this is happening I have a place wow.

[Peter McCoy]

Anyway I'm having my baby on Saturday guess I'll see you guys around.

Oh right!? Got it all scheduled in your diary have you? Well I hope the wee bairn arrives promptly and doesn't keep you waiting, lol!

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Some days you fix the looms, and some days the looms railroad you into the ground, beat you with your own tools, then stomp on you a few times for good measure :x

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Also I am moving this is happening I have a place wow.
Awesome! This is your first place, right? So exciting!

[Liam Jinn]

I wish you a swift labor Mrs. LD :D Congrats!

[Captain Untouchable]

And I wish you a swift Conservative, just to show that we aren't biased towards any particular political parties. ;)

Good luck, Holly - fingers, toes, and a bunch of other appendages crossed for you! :hug

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Thanks everyone :) the induction was moved up from 7:30am tomorrow to starting tonight at 8pm, so Olivia will probably be born in the morning tomorrow. I'm sure my FB will have the play by play if you're interested. :)

[Captain Untouchable]

Samuel T. Anders is hitting on Talia al-Ghul's voice while they're trying to arrest Lois Lane's dad... but he can't, because she's supposed to end up with Mal Reynolds.

Scifi cross-casting in Castle breaks my brain. :cyduck

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Yarnnnnnnnnnn... And wine. Yay Friday :3

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Holy crap, a threeway Twitter conversation between Jenny, Paul Cornell and I.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Truly, a random thing has happened.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Olivia was born at 7:20 this morning. 7lbs 14 oz, 22 1/4 inches long, 14.5 inch head.

She has hair!

[Rutabaga]

And she's gorgeous! :love

A beautiful new daughter AND the Niners advancing to the NFC Championship game...honey, I think you just had THE BEST DAY EVER. :cool

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It was a good day :) and it's even starting to snow, lol

[Lyanie Quez]

Oh, snow. Why can't there be enough snow to make this wussy city shut down so I don't have to bother leaving my house? :|

[Dasquian Belargic]

We didn't get snow yet but it's soooo frosty right now. Brrrr >_<

[Captain Untouchable]

More call centres need Geordies in. There's nothing quite as relaxing when you're stressed out about something as listening to a chilled-out Geordie.

They should totally make a stress relief call centre! :o

[Crusader]

Just a little information/news that might affect you:

Thanks to the proposal of the "Sopa Act" there will be no English wikipedia tomorrow! So look up your stuff today if you need to write a presentation or something like that.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I need soap!

[Morgan Evanar]

I packed my first box.

[Wyl Staedtler]

... is Karl Pilkington real or is this just an elaborate comedy act? o_O

[Cor Leonis]

Wait. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the kid from Third Rock From The Sun?

How did I not know that? :cyduck

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Wait. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the kid from Third Rock From The Sun?

Okay I think I'm done with snow for a while.

[Dasquian Belargic]

... is Karl Pilkington real or is this just an elaborate comedy act? o_O

Nah, he's real.

[Crusader]

Damn it based on the "adds" facebook is showing me I came to the asumption that facebook thinks I am a moron.

[Inyos Aamoran]

Huh. I didn't realise that Facebook was so astute.

;) :mneh

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm nearly packed. Just computers and sheets left.

[Captain Untouchable]

^ Are they going in with other stuff, or are you just going to have a box of sheet?

[Morgan Evanar]

Sheets and blankets are going to go in a plastic bin with some misc glass items.

Computers are going to ride up in the car with me.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

... is Karl Pilkington real or is this just an elaborate comedy act? o_O

Nah, he's real.

Why is he so addicting?! :ohno

Also.... Can it please actually feel like winter, just a little?
I LIKE seasons, dammit. Eternal Spring is actually dull as hell sometimes... as nice as it is. I just want like... One month of snow on the mountains. That so much to ask for? :(

[Wyl Staedtler]

I DON'T KNOW, EM. I don't know if I'm comfortable with him being made fun of so much, either, but he's so adorably... Karl. I can't quit him.

(Also, you guys, if you receive a phone call from me when I'm backpacking this fall and I yell CONGRESS TART, you'll know that I'm in danger so please call either the Canadian or South African or Swaziland embassy/ies.)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm getting too old to go out drinking on a work night :x

[Morgan Evanar]

Mostly moved. Free furniture on the way tomorrow.

[Crusader]

As I suspected: the product that I design is pure evil.

My inverter features the Group Sauron_Connector in 3D CAD. I guess this machine inverts not only current but also binds our customers in darkness with those connectors!

Sauroun Is Escaping Middle Earth on Sundays (short: SIEMENS).

[Wyl Staedtler]

Waited waaaaaaay too long post AM CrossFit class to eat and now I`m so shaky I can`t cook. Mrehhhhhhh holistic cafe, here I come.

Are you sure that your Sauron inverter doesn't just make him do a handstand?

I always knew the dark lord needed to turn that frown upsidedown.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I was 157 yesterday afternoon. Today I'm 150. O_O

Trying to eat more but enjoying the weight loss to be sure.

[Dasquian Belargic]

What is my brain even

D:

[Captain Untouchable]

...shit. I just got caught out using Shania Twain lyrics in an argument.

:uhoh

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Dear weather,

Get your act together.

Sincerely,

[Kyran O'Hurn]

Seconded. It's going to be a messy drive to school tomorrow.

:uhoh

...dare I ask?

Something along the lines of... "I've known a few guys who think they're pretty smart... but you've got being right down to an art, haven't you?"

There may have been more, but my lawyer recommends that I not say, for fear of revealing the quantity of Shania Twain lyrics that I may or may not be aware of.

[Crusader]

Damn it, <S>Jones.</S> Thanks to Fallout 3 I have the "Bongo, Bongo, Bongo (I Don't Want to Leave the Congo)" song stuck in my head all day at work.

Actually the song is called "Civilization" and it is a cover by Danny Kaye and the Andrews Sisters.<STRIKETHROUGH></STRIKETHROUGH>


And now I have Power Armor although I think the Chinese Sneak Armor from operation Anchorage is way more badass since it works like a stealth boy when you crouch!

[Dasquian Belargic]

^ You get a similar stealthy armor in one of the Fallout New Vegas expansion packs! I'm not sure about Fallout 3 though.

And yup, that is one addictive soundtrack.

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

That song is so terrible, lol. So very very racist

[Crusader]

I started preparing our next Dark Banana adventure. It is called "The Dust And The Stars".

I am excited for this one and for saturday's session of the Tournament that should find it's conclusion very soon.

[Vince]

Oh my dear lord the difference between this one and the last one is mind blowing. I can definitely get some work done on this!

[Rutabaga]

I need a new job. Or at least new bosses.

[Park Kraken]

Tis' getting warm around des parts.

[Captain Untouchable]

I've been watching Due South today. Is there any way I can swap careers and become a mountie?

[Vince]

Fuck you too, buddy.

[Vince]

Gotta start looking at the local politicians and such; won't be voting for a presidential candidate, so I've got to start fulfilling my civic duties in such a way that doesn't violate my conscience.

[Dasquian Belargic]

How did I accumulate this much useless STUFF

[Vince]

Gah why are you so difficult to write?!

[Wyl Staedtler]

I literally just exclaimed "Oh my God!" aloud, this tea is that bloody good.

[Morgan Evanar]

2 days of painting blargh, tired.

[Wyl Staedtler]

These bloody sweatpants are too big and keep falling off but they're so warm and comfortable. Also stolen, so maybe I shouldn't complain? :(

[Captain Untouchable]

Every time I move house, I seem to end up a little bit further south. At this rate, I think I'm going to end up retiring in the Falklands. :uhoh

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Both wine racks are overflowing now! It's a miracle!

[Vince]

Damn it I don't care about that presentation, leave me alone so I can ask this girl out for once!

[Morgan Evanar]

Still painting. Mostly done now.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Oh Loctite, you're awesome.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

A part of me wants to blow my entire tax refund on beer. All of it.

[Captain Untouchable]

Worf and Cassidy Yates are both in Season 4 of Castle? :cyduck

If Nathan Fillion hasn't managed to sneak in some Deep Space Nine references, he's going to get some strongly-worded tweets. :shakefist

[Crusader]

Oh Loctite, you're awesome.

Yes, it is.

In other news after a more than 10 hour odysee I have finally reached my hotel in England. Now it us time to get some cider.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I came up with the idea of making Anna Fernandez pregnant when I was pregnant with Sophie. I wanted to write a pregnant character at the same time as being pregnant. Then everything fizzled and I had Sophie... Then xmen RP came back in a big way at the beginning of last year and then I got pregnant again and then RP fizzled out again. So basically I keep missing the boat, or something. And she's been pregnant for almost three IRL years.

[Dasquian Belargic]

She's gonna pop!

If you want to do some Mutant RPing, Julian and José are still hanging around, somewhere.

[Captain Untouchable]

Superman is being played by a British person pretending to be an American.

Batman is being played by a British person pretending to be an American.

Spidernman is being played by... well okay, he's got dual-citizenship, but he was raised in Britain and is pretending to be raised-in-America.

There are a bunch of other well-known comic book characters that were played by British people; and that's not getting into the Australians, or the quintessentially American roles outside of comic book movies (other movies, TV, etc). Don't get me wrong: it's great that British people aren't just villains or butlers anymore... but what happened?

Was there a big slump in the popularity of acting as a career in the US about twenty/thirty years ago? Has movie and TV production increased too much for your actor population to keep up? I'm sure there must be a very good (and quite interesting) explanation.

[Crusader]

This was fun...
Peter: "OK now show me how you would unbox our device."
English coworker unboxes the product without a problem.
Peter: "Yeah but this is not the way our customers will unbox it."
Peter grabs the device in the box and breaks it right infront of a group of 4 people.
Peter: "This is how they will do it." Smart ass smile: "I guess we have a quality issue here."

[Wyl Staedtler]

*heard faintly in the background* "Go ahead."

"Hi Mama. SAILORS. FIGHTING INNA DANCE ALL. OH MAN! LOOK AT THOSE CAVEMEN GO! IT'S A FREAKIEST SHOW-OW-OW. TAKE A LOOK AT THE... HMMHMM, BEATING UP THE WRONG GUY. OH MAN! WONDER IF HE'LL EVER KNOW. HE'S THE BEST SELLING SHOW. IS THERE LIFE ON MAAAAAAAAAAARS? That's a song. Okay. Um. I love you and today I went to the park with Uncle Rawdy. Okay."

"Say bye."

"Okay bye. Call me later. But later my time because I have to go to bed."


My kid is such a rockstar, I can't even. :love

Why is it when I know I shouldn't eat sugar it is ALL I want to eat???


Argh.

[Cirrsseeto Quez]

Making your own alcohol empowers you to some ridiculous factor. I feel like I'm that much closer to checking off everything on my bucket list, or as I call it, living the lyrics to "Country Boys Can Survive" to the letter.

[Crusader]

OK, you are are an uncooperative smug and you lie us into our faces but you have got a Yorkshire accent so I like you anyway...

Damn it, Jones!

[Captain Untouchable]

Based on your interest in A Bit of Fry & Laurie, we thought you might like The Mighty Boosh.
No, Netflix. No I might not. :colbert

[Dasquian Belargic]

Did they just add a whole new slew of action films to Netflix? Cause my recommendations are looking full of Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Van Damme, etc movies

[Captain Untouchable]

^ Dunno how "new" they are - there were a few Norris / Van Damme things on there when I joined up a couple of weeks ago.

The ratings section is taunting me though: it keeps asking me if I've seen movies that aren't available on UK Netflix. I keep going "Oh, awesome - I want to watch that!" and it isn't there.

Damn you, Netflix. :shakefist

[Crusader]

The good thing about having a 4 hour delay in Zurich on our business trip is that I am now done with reading the campaign book for the next dark banana adventure: "The Dust and the Stars"

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

This week has gone by so quickly

[Wyl Staedtler]

This week has gone by so quickly

Dude, right? Blink and it's nearly Friday. How'd that happen?

Also, I straight up abuse was, ach so, and echt on a daily basis. Pretty much never use the English or Afrikaans variants anymore. My speech is becoming a bizarre amalgamation of languages, hereby referred to as: Afriengelsdeutschcais.

[Charley]

Maybe I'll sneak a little redneck into your patois. Not rooinek since I ain't a ponce.

[Wyl Staedtler]

Bring it on. I'll carry some Roll Tide along proudly. :D

[Captain Untouchable]

I just realised why I recognised Jordan Collier from The 4400.

He's the chuffing Rocketeer. :ohno


My childhood hero is now Jesus. :cyduck

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

That reminds me that for some reason, I haven't put my Rocketeer soundtrack on my ipod. I need to fix this very very soon.

[Rutabaga]

I would really like to have a do-over for today. :\

PS on the love for The Rocketeer...I live in Santa Maria, California, where a good chunk of the first half of the movie was filmed. When the production company was finished, they left something behind for our airport's Museum of Flight....

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb164/Rutabaga64/museumofflight5.jpg

[Captain Untouchable]

^ :eee

I am totally watching the Rocketeer again tonight.



Apparently, it's been long enough since I logged into SWTOR that they decided to send me a "Come Back!" email. Only, they phrased it as if one of my companions misses me. Which, you know. Whatever.

Except they picked Kaliyo. Apparently, Kaliyo misses me.

Now I want to keep not playing SWTOR out of spite. :shakefist

[Dasquian Belargic]

I got the same email a few weeks back.. from Khem Val @_@

[Captain Untouchable]

Something along the lines of "Hulk miss puny human", huh?

[Dasquian Belargic]

https://p.twimg.com/AkmA-iVCQAA_Jja.jpg

[Captain Untouchable]

Kaliyo was just doing a stupid pose with her blaster.

Khem Val looks like he wants to eat you. :ohno

[Dasquian Belargic]

That's pretty much what he wants to do most of the time :lol

[Emelie Shadowstar]

:| My very seriosus Consular who respects the code above all things... Kinda dances like a slut.

[Dasquian Belargic]

rofl... all Jedi, secretly sluts.

[Captain Untouchable]

Well duh.

Why else would a lightsaber be that shape? ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

I guess that puts a new spin on Maul's double-ended saber.

:x

[Regan Altink]

Worse - Count Dooku's one is long and curved. :uhoh

[Emelie Shadowstar]

...I've seen that before. :|

[Saidra]

Banana bread beer :3

[Rutabaga]

It sucks watching your parents age.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Methinks I need to find a way for Jace to meet my mom for good sweet Bowen treatment.

[Captain Untouchable]

I have no idea what a Bowen treatment is, but one of my school friends had a horse called Bowen and now I'm kinda scared. :uhoh

[Charley]

Bowen's great. You're put on a bed with serene music playing and a lot of aromatic oils to set the mood, then somebody sneaks in the room and elbow-drops you in the kidneys. It sounds horrible but can't argue with the results!

[Glen Fiddich]

After watching Sunday's episode of Top Gear, I think I'm a little bit in love with Ryan Reynolds.

He seems like such a nice guy. :ohno

[Dasquian Belargic]

I would love another Bowen session! I felt look loose and noodley afterwards !

[Wyl Staedtler]

It sucks watching your parents age.

Brian and I were talking about this not too long ago. It's very disconcerting - throws your whole perception off. :(

[Glen Fiddich]

I just saw a trailer for a rom-com where Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are spies who fall in love with and fight over Reese Witherspoon.

I don't... even... what... why? Why would anyone make that? :cyduck

And more importantly, why am I seriously contemplating going to see it? >_<

[Sanis Prent]

I made buttermilk dulce de leche. I have no reason to make this. Worse, it's pure Satan in viscous syrupy form.

I kinda want pancakes or ice cream now.

[Pierce Tondry]

It sucks watching your parents age.

Brian and I were talking about this not too long ago. It's very disconcerting - throws your whole perception off. :(

Yeah. I found out recently that my Uncle Rob (the youngest of my Dad's siblings) has brain cancer. Couple that with an episode where one of my Dad's bowels stopped working a couple years ago and that my aunt Julie (his sister) had ovarian cancer and, well, my family is aging and it sucks. I feel your pain.

It is a movie about spies using goverment property to ruin each others sex life so basicly it is like highschool all over again...just with less guns. Plus you get Captain Kirk vs Bane in an action comedy.

I want to watch this movie too since it sounds like a rom-com that appeals to me for the reasons above.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Yeah, I can't believe my dad is in his 70s and my parents are having their 50th wedding anniversary this year. O_o

Of course, I'm 32, so go figure.

I saw the posters for this and really could not tell what it was supposed to be about. Thanks for clearing that up :lol

[Glen Fiddich]

Just saw an interview with Mark Meer, and he was talking about how much he wants the Commander Shepard action figure. The interviewer asked if it was going to be a talking one, and Meer just looks at him and goes: "Who cares? I can provide the voice anyway."

I now have visions of him sat at his desk reenacting scenes from the game. :lol

[Vince]

Now I have to find a place to eat next week that's cheap, but not too cheap, and nice, but not too nice. Damn it.

[Sanis Prent]

My boss's boss is a me-level foodie. One day she asks me for quinoa recipes, then I mention tonight that I'm trying to conjur up scandinavian dishes for a potluck, and she mentions gjetost tarts.

[Captain Untouchable]

Why did no one tell me the Avatar anime was so goo-

Oh, wait. Pretty much everyone I know did, which is why I'm watching it. :eee

Now I want to be a bender, though. :(

Wait... :uhoh

Legend of Korra coming soon!

[Dasquian Belargic]

I want my own Appa :3

[Captain Untouchable]

I finished Book One: Water, so figured I'd watch the movie... mainly because I was curious to see how they did live action versions of bending and Appa and stuff.

WHAT THE BALLS.

Seriously. Was there a single thing in that entire movie that they got right? The plot made no sense (they left for the North Pole before they'd bothered to establish a reason to go there, FFS), and they removed all of the bits of the story that made the characters even remotely compelling. And damn it, his name is ANG, not ONG, or whatever the hell they were saying. *hyperventilate*

:grumble

[Dasquian Belargic]

I have no intentions of ever watching that film >_<

[Charley]

Welp, new phone. Bah, was hoping not to have to spend that money.

[Captain Untouchable]

I just punched the air in excitement.

I didn't realise that people actually did that in real life. :|

[Firebird1]

*Pokes head in*

Gah!! Early morning posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Glen Fiddich]

Why did no one tell me that Michael A Stackpole was on Twitter?!

I am ridiculously star struck by this. :ohno

[Dasquian Belargic]

I've had Twitter conversations with him before :) He's a cool guy.

[Vince]

And shot down, thankfully, before any money was spent. Perhaps my luck will change.
