And.. the Dancing Man Party... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-DFPTPAJw

Well I haven't seen the Supergirl pilot yet, but I have to admit, I am amused at the deliberate cheesy fun factor of having Helen Slater and Dean Cain playing the adoptive parents of Supergirl....

For the minor public venting, I'm having that wonderful mix of guilt and anger kicking off. As some might recall, I've been my mother's primary carer for well, pretty much the last 15 years, and then over Christmas she got diagnosed with cancer. Metastatic Adenocarninoma in her lungs, so this years turned into lots more meds to juggle on the already existing ones, and the chemo trips along with all the additional extras that go with that. - Yes, with pure oxygen tanks and liquid morphine in the house, we are the party palace... Anyhow, I visited some friends in the US last year and met a girl and we hit it off and have ended up in the joys and tribulations of a long distance relationship. I queried my mother on how her health was going, how she was handling chemo and asked how she'd feel if, in November, I flew back to the US for a few weeks as long as her health hadn't taken any sudden downward turns. Her immediate response turned into a "Noo!" followed by handing me some of the medical reports she hadn't shared with me, and doing the whole "this could change at any time, the doctor isn't confident, we only have limited time together, its your choice if you go but how would you feel if I died before you got back, I want to make it to Christmas to make sure we have one family time all together but I don't know if I'll get there..." Which then got followed by "Besides, how serious are you with this girl? She has kids, you don't have any serious savings to help look after them, you haven't got a proper job to help out.." I'm kind of in that "Really? I haven't got a proper job because I've spent the last 15 years at home as your extra hands and med handler and pack mule and general fixit person" along with guilt over her feeling bad and obviously panicking, annoyance at the way she provided that information at that point, and angry that the blunt way she put it all came across as heavy guilt tripping because she doesn't like her son going away.

This one kind of amused me.. EpicTimes - J K Rowling on Neville Longbottoms Abs...

Revenge tends to be a very personal thing, Avenge generally seems to be more of something done on behalf of someone else. Or is that just me?

I just picked up Valkyria Chronicles since it was 60% off on Steam. Haven't actually played anything since I wrapped up PoE some weeks back.

For the good parenting moments...

Okay, now that's a games room. I don't know whether to be impressed and jealous, or think of all the other important things they could have invested in....
