And lo the words were spoken, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh P'trk Stu'mp R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" and did the Elder Emo arise from the depths, calling "Thanks for the memories" and blasting eyeliner upon the masses Watching an iilluminaughtii video on Flyleaf and just heard her use the term "elder emo". Wife confirms that is the preferred nomenclature. I'm fucking dead lmao » Continue Reading
Normally I don't mind the rain, I even enjoy it for the most part. But there's a paper mill north of here. And if you don't live near one, be grateful, because it smells like rotten eggs and sewer gas. And guess which way the wind and rain are coming from today » Continue Reading
hellz yeah. we gettin the band back together! I was honestly surprised by the end, with the Armorer telling Bo to take her helmet off. I had the shower thought, "what if one of the Watch members wants to upgrade or has to repair their helmet?" a couple of weeks ago, and with the mythosaur stuff going on, I initially expected her to add something to or at least repaint her helmet for her. Then s... » Continue Reading
I finally got to do a proper violin practice again tonight, the first time since the whole family went on our cruise a couple of weeks ago. Either the weather's been bad for it or, like last Wednesday, i spent the whole practice time trying to fix up someone else's violin (do NOT get a 5yo an adult, full sized 4/4 violin, PLEASE). My fingers are a little sore, my bowing is a bit off, and my finge... » Continue Reading
Finally once again it's not too cold or actively misting/raining/foggy/etc that I can practice my violin under the stars, and a wonderfully clear night it was tonight. Mostly full moon with Orion (those 3 dots just right of the center are Orion's Belt) looking down on me as I play for my recently departed pups. Sad part » Continue Reading
So playing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" at the Christmas parties fell through. Just wasn't able to learn it in time. Since it's now past the Christmas season, I'm taking a break on it and moving to one a bit easier, Ode to Joy. So far I already have half of it down! My son and I have been watching Summoning Salt's videos on speedrunslately though, including Wii Sports. As it happens, said son... » Continue Reading
SECRET PROJECT! SECRET PROJECT! I love having secret projects. Normally I have a group I share the deets with since it's usually something I'm making but this time is different, it's something I'm learning to play. The title is a bit of a hint but I kept it deliberately short in case anyone I know IRL stumbles on this. I've only put in about an hour or so tonight and I've already got the first 7... » Continue Reading
Being a Buddhist living in Texas, it's hard to switch off of meat, especially at the holidays. Spiral cut ham and full cooked turkeys are obvious, but even the stuffings this year weren't safe from giblets and bits of turkey meat in them. Not that they weren't delicious of course. One of the things I used to look forward to after Thanksgiving and Christmas, though, was the day or two of leftover... » Continue Reading
I'm very good about staying distracted from... everything. Either through the magic of ADD or the myriad of things I can do on my phone cough reddit cough combined with earbuds (youtube, podcasts, etc), i can stay mildly distracted from the world unless i want to be. or sometimes not. We have 2 poodles, well, a black poodle and a white maltee-poo. And Charlie, the poodle, his health has been g... » Continue Reading
So back in the old school year of 1998, when DSL was still only barely starting to creep across the land of the US of A and most of us still heard screeching of dial up to get online, there was a great city building game called Caesar 3 released. It spawned a number of better built/balanced games in the following years, a couple I demoed back in the day, but this game still holds a place in my he... » Continue Reading
