Gotta think 'em all: random thoughts!

[Dasquian Belargic]

yup. time for a new 'un.

[Crusader]

I get a Pokemon Vibe from that title... but I can't tell why?

[Ilias Nytrau]

Tim looked at me funny when I decided to finish off the cranberry juice (because he asked me to) by adding vodka... at 1400 on a Sunday, of all things. :p

[Dee]

When is a healthful and nutritious juice inappropriate? ;)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Why, I dare say that it never is! Indeed adding alcohol only serves to enhance the cranberry's natural flavors and aromatic notes tenfold!

[Charley]

cran vodka is the diet pepsi of alcoholics.

[Dee]

Cranberry juice, vodka, and a splash of the syrup from a jar of maraschino cherries is quite tasty.

DAMMIT.

I don't have cranberry juice.

[Charley]

best thing with cran is a red snapper, which IIRC includes amaretto, canadian rye, ginger ale, and the maraschino. It's kinda like baby's first manhattan

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Drink snobs are the worst. :p

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

No two ways about it - a vodka cranberry gets the job done really really well if you drink enough. That delightfully tart cranberry flavor really masks any bity vodka aromas and pretty much makes it to where you don't know you've had too much until your ass is on the floor ^_^

[Lilaena De'Ville]

By the way I wore my "goal dress" to the wedding yesterday - I bought it in January in the hopes of fitting back into a 6 sometime this year. Fit perfectly.

We left right before they started dancing. :( :cry

[Charley]

It looked great btw :) I like the look you're going for these days.

Also in no way is my comment about cran vodka a drink snob thing. This is from the mouths of folks who drink it, who tend to choose it *for the lack of calories*

Also I don't think it's possible for me to be a drink snob. I'm a beer drinker.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

OHGOD WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?! :cry

*hugs for Sarah*

Note to self! Greek coffee after a several hour long Benadryl-induced nap means you're wide awake and yet frelling exhausted at 3:33 am. DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN, you idiot.

[Vittore Montegue]

OHGOD WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?! :cry

Sorry, that's my fault. After boring so many people to sleep by talking, my brain now emits a kind of psychic caffeine effect. :|

[Dahlia Ericsson]

Because Dahlia is from New Orleans and her mother is Creole, she speaks a few dialects of it. Most notably, Haitian Creole, which has some of the most creative and colorful phrases for swearing I've ever seen. For example:

Ou santi tankou swe ki sot nan pwel yon leza. (You smell like the sweat of a lizard's pubic hair.)


But my absolute favorite, which has me in the worst giggling fit ever:

Chamaux ki besoin konyen pwall couri deye ou na desert! (You will be chased across the desert by sex-starved camels!)

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Galaxy News Radio full playlist makes even Mondays all better :dance



Well... You know... Except for THAT. What the fuck, people??? Knock it off. :|

*pterodactyl shriek*

[Ilias Nytrau]

Well, I wasn't intending on napping for quite that long... but I'll take it!

[Aimee Connors]

What's a nap? O_o

its that thing I wake up from to find out that the kids took every one of their toys out and spread them out in a layer over the entire house

[Blaze Revoch]

I'm being such a rebel! At work right now because someone had to be here to unlock the building for some meetings. Quietly listening to Five Finger Death Punch featuring Rob Halford in my office here at the church.

I may be going to hell for this.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

...I just got spoiled on what happens to Loki in the next Young Avengers comic.... by Tom Hiddleston. :|

I have mixed feels.

[Tom Harriman]

Pssh, don't lie, your feelings aren't mixed. Tom Hiddleston is talking. All you feel are swoons. :|




It's nearly November guys, and you know what that means!

Prepare to say goodbye to knowing whether or not your favourite American TV shows are gonna have new episodes or not.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Not burnt yet. I'll wave to you all as the TV helicopters circle overhead

[Asha Vendax]

There's nothing like new medication to make your chest ache and give you crazy ass mood swings. It's making watching the baseball game practically painful.

Don't like it.

[Charley]

Ran 6k tonight after a long hiatus and didn't miss a beat. Feelz good.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Okay wait a sec.... what the thread title refers to just dawned on me. Pokemon surely isnt still a thing???

[Charley]

Still is. I have grown-ass adult friends, some who are doctors and lawyers, still keeping up with the joneses on Pokemon shit.

I don't get it either.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I have the latest Pokemon game for my Nintendo 3DS... but then I am a Jones.

[Darth Turbogeek]

Still is. I have grown-ass adult friends, some who are doctors and lawyers, still keeping up with the joneses on Pokemon shit.

I don't get it either.

What. The. Fuck?

I know most kids games and cartoons are designed to not be high art but are there to sell crappy toys (Transformers being a great example) but Pokemon took it to a whole new level of batshit crazy blatant with utterly no redeeming quality, how the hell can it still be a thing to adults??? Sure, I do things that others would find puzzling or dumb (I dropped more cash on bikes than what most pay for cars all for the idea of losing buckets of sweat riding up mountains) but...... POKEMON??????

People like shit that you don't like. Get over it, and yourself. :|

[Kara Hawkins]

I have... Concerns about what I'm doing after work today. :uhoh

[Park Kraken]

Been doing some research on hybrid/super storm systems of the past. I knew about the 1993 Perfect Storm, but I hadn't even heard of the Big Blow (Columbus Day Storm of 1962). Basically like a Category 4 Hurricane hitting Washington and Oregon.

[Crusader]

Charley's mum liked a comment of mine that featured the words "ass" and "tits" in the same sentence. This is kind of disturbing in a good way.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

People with Opinions on the Internet!! :dood:

Glad you're not burnt up Mark.

Regarding Pokemon there are adults now who grew up watching and playing Pokemon so it's not really surprising they might still enjoy it. Bottom line, you're old.

[Kara Hawkins]

Dear hair... I'm sorry... It wasn't working out. We needed to go our separate ways. :|

[Dee]

Chicken Basil Rice, I love you.

[Vince]

Is it sad that I want to make an account for my Skyrim characters so I can have a thread where I develop them more?

[Kara Hawkins]

^ ...no?

Also... that way lies madness. Do not speak of such things again or accounts shall spring up overnight :|

[Glen Hawkins]

:ohno

[Park Kraken]

How many of us would be married to Lydia? :whaa

[Dasquian Belargic]

Lydia's dead in my Skyrim.

I'm technically married to Marcurio, but spend all my time with Serana... :mischief

[Charley]

Holy shit skyrim rp would rule so hard. Imperial Legate Darruk reporting. All Stormcloak scum prepare to meet the headman's axe. Malacath grant me victory.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Mmmmm Skyrim RP...

I married Ainethach, but it was mostly a marriage of convenience since he owns a mine. I spend ALL my time with Kharjo ^_^

[Michael Beckett]

I didn't marry anybody...

I keep getting distracted and making new characters before I get that far through the game. :uhoh

[Kara Hawkins]

I didn't marry anyone in the game...yet. I've been meaning to go back and play.

Pretty sure I'll end up going for Balimund. Someone attacked me in Riften and he just came out of nowhere and smashed their face in. Pretty sure that won him points. lol

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

My phone is possessed I think. I got a notification that I'd missed a video chat call involving Jace, Jones, Dee, Sarah, Vince, and someone else from about an hour or so ago. Upon asking Jace about it, he informed me that he wasn't aware of one. I said a few words to Vince over chat/text on the phone, but now I can't bring it back up.

Ironically I was watching The Frighteners at the time.

[Droo]

Same here, Christin. Just checked with Jace and, although I recieved an invite, none had been sent. Somebody needs to exorcise the Google demons.

[Ben Merasska]

Viljo the Knight of Gondor (Yes I downloaded mods for Gondor Armor and weapons such as Anduril, Narsil, Glamdring, the Witch-King's sword, and Galadhrim bow - don't judge me!) is presently searching for Grimsever so he can impress the bootiful Mjoll the Lionness. Kharjo, also bedecked in the noble gear, is (and this is what I'd like to write up a thread of) constantly snarking and teasing his soldier/mercenary friend.

Narzhil (Yes I named him Narsil. Shut up.) has just escaped Helgen and I plan on seeing how well these mods adding voiced marriageable Khajiit work. Hopefully well.

On a side note, why can't I make Kharjo my steward?

*Kirk/Spock voice* BETHESDAAAAAAAAAAAA :shakefist

[Kara Hawkins]

:|

I'm not nearly drunk enough for these shenanigans.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I'm currently working on correcting my sobriety problem, myself.

Maybe we should get a drunken video chat started up anyway, and play some cards against humanity?

[Dee]

Skyrim? Is this something else I need to put on my OH MY GOD YOU'RE AN IDIOT YOU MUST PLAY THIS GAME list?



On the other hand, I'm watching Rocky Horror...SUCH good college memories...wish I still fit into my Magenta costume >_<

[Aimee Connors]

Ive been so drunk for like three hours .....!!!!!

[Droo]

You're a pirate. It's your obligation!

And, Dee, yes, you must play Skyrim. Actually, don't. We may never see you again! :uhoh

Also...

2653

[Aimee Connors]

Hahaha I don't remember posting that!

I had a reasonable amount to drink but I did not have a reasonable amount of food yesterday and I got HAMMERED. Wow! I don't think I even drank anything after like eleven thirty.

my head hurts. I didn't take my Advil last night because for some reason I was convinced I had already and I didn't want to take two doses lol. Wtf Holly.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I had a reasonable amount to drink but I did not have a reasonable amount of food yesterday and I got HAMMERED

this was me also.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Now the hammering is in my head :(

What a crappy start to the day -_-

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Kitty is going to be ok! :hug

[Dasquian Belargic]

why isn't every day "cosplay at work" day

[Charley]

Halloween costume days at my job are so milquetoast. Why no, I don't have any HR-appropriate costumes unless you're okay with a murderous slaver or a murderous meth cook.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

:| We had a guy in my office dress up like Leeloo He used masking tape (cheated by wearing pants) but ...good god. The lols.


I also did the one thing that makes Halloween... Halloween for me since 2005: Mad King Says :dance

[Solomon Latona]

Halloween costume days at my job are so milquetoast. Why no, I don't have any HR-appropriate costumes unless you're okay with a murderous slaver or a murderous meth cook.

Pick yourself up a cyan turtle neck, white pants, and a white sweater with light grey shoulders, and go as Colour Inverted Captain Sisko.

...wait, that's probably not HR-appropriate either.

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Just spent Halloween with Danny Elfman and Tim Burton.

I win. :dance

[Ben Merasska]

I was Gomez Addams. Are there wins for that? I hope so, since I'm still sporting the pencil moustache at the moment.

I put on a hawaiian shirt, shaved off my moustache, took out my earring, put on contacts, slipped on a DEA badge and brought a book on homebrewing beer. Boom, the laziest Hank Schrader costume.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

At least you shaved off your mustache. :)

[Charley]

Whatever, my moustache was pretty awesome

But that costume would be so involved!

There are pictures, but since I maintain a policy of never taking pictures of myself, other people have them and haven't put them up or sent them to me.

[Ndonsa]

That's a dumb policy! :shakefist

I read/saw online a guy who made a Jon Snow costume with two belts, some fake fur, a set of black curtains and a ladies black coat they got at a thrift store. Add some white paint for snow stains and it looked pretty awesome.

[Droo]

That's a dumb policy! :shakefist


I have to admit, I've also never taken a selfie. The thought of it makes my skin crawl!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Now you both have to take some proper selfies, duck faces and myspace angles and all!

[Captain Untouchable]

[Darth Turbogeek]

It was certainly an "interesting" 10 days. Evaced three times, had at one point 12 fire engines out the front, choked on smoke.....

I can say with 100% certainty that "Experience a REAL bushfire" was not on my bucket list with good reason.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Randomly, one of my favorite books as a small child was Kippy Koala and the Brushfire (or something, it's actually in the other room), so I am imagining you had a helpful koala show you where to run to so you could escape the fire!

[Darth Turbogeek]

No, but we did have kangaroos, wallabys, possums, every kind of bird and I think even a koala invade the street at differening points seeking refuge. The cats reaction to seeing a kangaroo hopping on the driveway was priceless - cats do WTF THE FUCK IS THAT????? in a such a cute way :D

[Dasquian Belargic]

I am pleasantly surprised at how they are handling her character so far :)

[Droo]

So I'm enjoying Supernatural. But did anyone else get annoyed by its highly inappropriate segue sound? There's a moment of emotional resolution, or a threat is over, and then, suddenly, you hear what sounds like all the kitchen knives in Hell being sharpened. Then fade to black.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

All the kitchen knives in hell ARE being sharpened. Be on the edge of your seat, Droo!

That is the grating of your soul being slowly ground away. Wait a few seasons, and that noise will spontaneously trigger crying. :|

Apparently I am about to endure the doom season finale today. I expect to be catatonic by evening.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Looks like i need to step up my game! Just finished the witch episode in season 3.

[Kara Hawkins]

I fully expect you to pass me before too awful long since I can only at best manage 1 ep or so during the weeknights. Weekends are when I go a bit off the rails. :lol

:| Today will be at least 5 eps. I will catch up to where the show actually is if it kills me (inside). lol

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Oh trust me, I'll be keeping you and Jace updated so that you and I eventually sync up. Then I will keep pace with you :)

[Kara Hawkins]

AUGHHHH THE SONG OF FEELS :cry

I am not ready!!!



Edit: I am now dead inside. :| There will be no more feels for I have no more feels to give.

Also I am going to go sob in a heap in a corner now. WTF, show...just...WHAT THE EFF :|

[Droo]

It's nice to know I'm not the only one behind, which, granted, is usually the norm for me when it comes to good television. That said, I now have an incentive to up my game and catch up with the rest of you stragglers.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I don't even remember where I got up to watching SPN... season 6 maybe?

[Vittore Montegue]

Can you? Can you wipe out that much red?

Rewatching the first season with Kris... Amused at all the foreshadows (and kinda crappy effects that get sooooo much better)

Also ffff.... Dat car <3

I just don't get Bob Dylan. His songs bore me senseless and I cannot abide the sound of his voice. I don't even like his version of All Along the Watchtower. And what annoys me about this is that I feel that, in some way, this makes me a cultural boor. He is my musical Gladiator.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I'm not fussed on him either, Droo. I like 'The Times They Are A Changin' but that's about it. The rest of his music does nothing for me.

You're not alone. Bob Dylan is a great writer of music, but he's a an awful singer in my estimation. I love covers of his songs by people who are better singers. All Along the Watchtower is, of course, done better by Hendrix. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."

My dad is big into folk music, so he wanted to make sure I was exposed to Dylan songs, but performed... not shitly. He bought an album called "Hollies Sing Dylan", which I'm pretty sure I found on Spotify if you have it available. Those are the versions of Dylan songs that I grew up with... a little more upbeat when appropriate, harmonies thrown in for good measure... kind of a Beatles vibe, I guess.

There are a lot of good covers of Dylan stuff like Chris says... just avoid him doing his own stuff.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Asked for a tarot reading on SA:


Ah, a quickie. This spread is particularly easy, because you barely have to cross-reference anything.

For past, you drew The Hermit, inverted. You have disconnected from yourself in order to fit in more with the world at large. Alternatively, it could show that a self-imposed isolation has brought you great advantage, but you ended up taking it too far. The light of the Hermit's lamp is near useless if he refuses to share it with others. This is an extremely spiritual card.


For present, you got the Ten of Pentacles. There's no wiki page for this. It represents culmination and fulfillment. As a 10, the message is very strong. Are you currently rich with a hot spouse who is constantly giving you oral? Even if not, this card suggests that currently you're reaping the more material sorts of rewards that your actions have brought. It is a significant reversal from the inverted Hermit.


For future, you got the Queen of Cups, which has an absolutely useless wiki page which I won't link here. This card is all about supportiveness and... uh... procreation or life-seeding, for lack of a better term. Sorry, it's still early in the morning. Everyone flowers into their own sort of glory at their given time. A more impressive feat than blooming yourself is to be the kind of person whose presence causes others to bloom too. That's the Queen of Cups, and according to the cards, your ultimate fate. You might not find it easy to see through giant creative endeavors on your own, but you have a lot of good ideas and positive contributions that will support, nourish, and empower the people you decide to grace your help with. You'll be a great teacher, mentor or baby-momma. I haven't checked your reported gender BTW, so if you have man bits just think of it figuratively.


Those three cards are sort of all over the place. It's a hazard of using few cards to do a reading. They do describe an arc of changing from an inwardly-focused person to a more outgoing, sharing one. For you, ultimately power and fulfillment will be found by sharing, inspiring, and helping to create.

i find it fascinating, even if the present card doesn't quite seem to fit.

There are just some episodes of Supernatural that need to be watched with every light in the condo switched on.

Yes, even the closet lights.

Don't judge me :ohno

[Emelie Shadowstar]

You and Kris... I swear. :lol

We're special, dammit! :D

Last night's (Season 9) Supernatural.

Oh my god you guys.

Having a slow tire leak is the freakin worst. Too slow to be able to detect, making patching impossible, so instead you dump 10 psi into the tire every 1 or 2 weeks. If only you were a bigger leak so I wouldn't have to up and replace a tire for something that should be an easy fix

[SAM STOP APOLOGISING TO DEAN! LIFE GAVE YOU LEMONS AND YOU'RE MAKING LEMONADE! FUCK THE ANGELS!]

:verymad

[Emelie Shadowstar]

^ lol.... I just finished that season and I still feel that way. Combined with a healthy dose of WTF

[Captain Untouchable]

By the end of Season 4, it's less Sam making lemonade, and more [Sam thinking he's making lemonade, when in fact he's been tricked into accidentally making enough Napalm to set fire to the whole world.] :uhoh

Y'all need to keep Dean's attitude from this season in mind, too. It throws things into a totally different light in later seasons.

[Kara Hawkins]

:P seriously just need to make a thread for this damn show already.

Format all posts like Episode 3x10 (or whatever) followed by one giant spoiler tagged post... Since it seems a chunk of us are at various points and so you'd only see comments/rants/freakouts/soul crushed weeping if you are up to that point :|

:ohno

Clearly I need to watch faster as I think I'm the furthest behind...

Ty and I are in the middle of Season 8 on Netflix with sEason 9 recording on the DVR so we just MIGHT be able to catch up this summer.

I highly doubt it. Mandela transcended boundaries between people, regardless of their taste in films.

I hope so. Mandela had his flaws but in the end you could apply the Batman quote to him - he truly has become something greater - immortal, an idea and a symbol. To me has has to be one of the top 10 grestest men to be born in the 20th century.

I'm sort of surprised my hair hasn't spontaneously turned white - though I have had a major migraine since getting back from the pediatrician with Owen.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Aaand now he's throwing up and it looks like we WERE exposed to the stomach flu on Thursday JUST WHAT I NEEDED

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Also now I'm sick - carls jr I'm sorry, that was no way to treat you after a nice outing doing some Christmas shopping.

[Morgan Evanar]

Holly, feel better. Tis the season I guess.

[Palara Iscandar]

I gotta stop helping my brother.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Now I'm all better! Except I'm exhausted because I was up all night with Olivia who threw up all over her bed!

she is better now - well, we'll know for sure in a bit because she got to eat a little cereal after being able to keep down water for a few hours.

Im treating Sophie like a ticking bomb *laughs nervously*

we had to cancel all family get-togethers.

[Dragon]

^^Great news we can start ignoring parts of the EU just like Lucasfilm has done it for years!

So at first I read that as, "Great news we can start ignoring parts of the European Union just like Lucasfilm has done it for years!"

I mean, I still can't say I'm completely against the idea?

[Darth Turbogeek]

http://thehothspot.com/2014/01/07/rip-star-wars-expanded-universe/

^^Great news we can start ignoring parts of the EU just like Lucasfilm has done it for years!

Start ignoring? I've been ignoring that crap after I, Jedi came out, which is close to the last readable book in the entire EU. And I'm not the only one too, how many ran away in droves with that Vong excretement? They started so well with the Thraw n series and it turned to..... Oh Lord, my brain wants to strangle me to stop the recall! Most of the reasons I RP'ed years ago was to prove - successfully even if the bar was so low it could walk under a toilet door with stilts and a top hat - I could randomly pull something out of my ass and not make the reader want to drink bleach to forget the shitpile. A complete amatuer could come up with a coherent character and adventures than so called paid professionals, that's just wrong.

I even wrote in comepltely different writing styles (like first person) and even invented aternate RL personalities so I could have the freedom to experiment. At one point I had four different personalities spread over the child boards of swFans going at one time and absolutly no one had any clue - and believe me I had a lot of fun doing it and the few who know certainly had a hell of a laugh to see me dance between those pesonalities - however most personalities matched a EU author and each of those subsequent characters were written as close to the style of the author in question..... so I could take their ideas and show hey, they might stink but watch what happens when you do them properly.
Or as properly as I cared about.

In the end while there was this insane wealth of shit to mine and mock in the EU, the problem to me is that in the end the main character just wanted to be a nerf herder on Ukio and eventually that just runs out of steam and the character writes itself to have that ending, you tie off the bad guys as having nasty deaths and the Big badass Jedi hands his sabre on then tells the Universe to go fuck itself. And I imagine Turbogeek in the evening pipe in hand as the sun goes down, boots up on the table content and a peace finally.

Then what really made me drop it is that while I set out to be better than the EU, I also have a writing problem in that I dont seem to be able to do anything else after that. If I start again, guess where the character will go? I put some tragic event, there's an ass load of revenge and the character direction but it all ends the same. And you know what? I've done that story. I retread, I dont mean to but I do. And the thing about the EU is they also retread and respew the same story.

So to prove I'm better than the EU, when I worked out that problem I stopped :D Hey, I've told that story, why should it be done again?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

But to objectively prove your writing better wouldn't you have to be published and then outsell them? ;)

[Dasquian Belargic]

Not anything that anyone can help with, unfortunately. There's not even anything I can do myself: it's all in the hands of local government and that sort of thing at the moment. Happy about the prospect of not having to live with this guy any more... just having to do a lot of hoop-jumping to make sure I a) have a roof over my head, and b) don't lose out on all the medical/treatment/funding/etc that I only just managed to get straightened out. >_<

I know that here in Alabama you get paid either your normal 40 or weekly indemnity. Can't remember which, but you do get paid regardless. I would imagine it's much the same for the other states.
