For 25 years my friend and I would stock up on munchies etc. and spend this evening together, watching horror movies (good or bad), sometimes drinking, sometimes not. Nothing wild, just hanging out, talking about the past year, poking fun at the films and avoiding the craziness "out there." She's not here anymore and that's a really big hole for me. So I'm going to curl up with one of our old cheesy faves and drink a toast to her memory then snuggle the spouse until I sleep. Happy New Year, everyone...hope it's a good one.

Getting a little bored of building mega-treehouses or bunkers and watching zombies mill around dying on my log spikes, at least for the moment. What to do now....maybe I'll go back to that game called real life for a bit. I've looked at that one a few times. Haven't taken the plunge.

I'm not sure I'd call myself an adult per se, but I am a homebody who doesn't like to "party" out in public. Usually because I'd wake up in someone's living room with barely any memory of the night before. it didn't take long for me to not find that very fun anymore. Occasionally getting trashed in my own living room...that's different. Still rare, but ...

Already saw Divergent. I did like it a fair bit better than The Hunger Games, but didn't consider it anything special. Still...there's so many of these now that I often hit the "rent" button in spite of myself. Sometimes they have good action bits.

"Time to watch this movie I've been wanting to see for ages!" "...is that a loose thread? STRING!"

I've been rather hyper all day. Can't sit still to even play my game. Keep thinking I hear something scratching around in the bushes outside, like a cat or raccoon, but it goes on forever. Maybe it's the wind. Or a leprechaun hiding his pot o' gold. Or Michael Myers. No I'm not drunk. Gah, time for bed.

The past few nights I keep thinking I'll try "The Maze Runner," even tho it looks pretty YA silly, but each time I sit down on the couch, the cable VoD function suddenly ceases to work for 10-15 minutes ("sorry, service unavailable, reboot unit or try again later") and by the time it works again I'm off doing something else. Perhaps the movie gods are trying to tell me something.

So did the toddler accidentally switch the safety off while rummaging about in the purse, too, or did mommy not have it on? Or maybe it was a handgun with no safety. Well, it's sad, but ....

Either my car has developed a serious wobble, or it's very windy ... I hardly had to push the shopping cart, the wind blew it uphill for me! I can have a 4 hour computer task going and easily will still find an excuse to not do chores. Like, catch up on TV series. Or use other PC's to continue surfing the internet. Or make nooky with the spouse. Or take a nap. ...most chores are evil and generally to be avoided at all costs. Especially in winter. Unless I'm feeling obsessive about grout cleaning, which occasionally happens.

How's Act3?

Been there, done that, have the photos. There's something odd about doing tasks like that, where I can't help sitting there and watching the clock. Well, at least if it's a lot of those little 5-15 minute jobs, since leaving means I might lose time efficiency by not returning in a timely manner. If it's going to take an hour for every task, I'm outta there.

Previous thread ...I still don't know why this thread's title is traditionally always in caps.

Party on, Garth. Or something.

Welcome to the Obsidian Community Photo Sharing thread! Start of previous thread. A combination of "pics of yourself" and other photo topics common to many forums. If you feel comfortable sharing pics of yourself, this is the place. But if that isn't your thing, pics of your pets, your backyard garden project, vacation or that awesome sunset/nature/other photo you captured etc. can go here too. It's not the place to share funny internet memes, as we already have a thread for stuff like that. ----------------------------------- The most recent pics from the last thread, repeated here:

Been some great photos over the past year and a half or so. But finally time for a new version.

Start of previous thread End of previous thread Last couple posts etc.

Y'all talk too much. New thread time.

Anyone who's freezing is welcome to visit our house, where it's a sunny and balmy 53F during the day and 39F at night. We can have an evening volleyball beach party via torchlight! I know I'm a moderate wimp in either temp direction myself (all 72F, all the time is my dream) ... but I keep staring at my cat lounging in front of the heater, wondering why HE thinks he's cold, with that fur coat on and everything.

Maybe....it would be better, anyway. Perhaps a little more modern of a setting tho, not King's and castles.

I didn't say an rpg about a character who spends all day in their living and bathroom, trying to solve the mystery of a mysterious mold growing in their kitchen. Just...not "fantastical." I guess I'm burnt out on such from all the trends via movies and games and books. There was a time when something didn't have to be "fantastical" in order to still be entertaining.

I'd like a rpg that still has forests and lakes and mountains but no magic. And also not set in space or spaceships or aliens in every port or mega apocalyptic futures with mutated creatures etc. Basically I want something more down to earth and maybe even rather mundane in terms of setting/world....not fantastical in any way. The bad guys are just bad/ill tempered/immoral people, like in Westerns or old mysteries. Maybe I'm weird.

Loved original Tombraider, can't stand the new ones. But this doesn't mean I think all games today are worse than the ones of the past, or vice versa. I just take them all one at a time...or try to. I tend to have pretty narrowed tastes, tho, even from the beginning, so it's just difficult to find games that fit them. (in terms of finding games I'll play for ages, vs. fun but quick one-offs)

Today I felt like something more than yogurt and fruit etc. so I had some wonton soup with a small bowl o' fried rice and pork chow mien. I now feel like I have a bowling ball in my stomach. But it was tasty, and the soup is always nice on a chilly day. Time to find a movie to rent and settle on the couch a while.

True enough, but those grunts and few words felt right for the chr./made me like the chr. and were full of feeling! ...and in both cases, I didn't realize it was him until much later. Maybe they alter the voice in post-production a bit. I think it's often less the voice itself and more the immobile face that often goes with it.

It's funny because I think he does really well in his voice-over animated work. But his live-action stuff, I could often do without him opening his mouth. True of many action-dudes, really, outside of the occasional one-liners.
