Hm, I lost most of my Saturday with a stinking headache, then woke up this morning with a snootful of semi-congealed blood. That's such a great start to a sunday.

Had a pretty crappy week all in all, and now trying to work my way through a report and analysis while actually absorbing enough of it to truly understand what the blather in it is....

Okay, I have to say, someone floating the possibility that Oby's oddities is something I might be behind? My mind has pretty much stuttered to a halt, choked, and done a triple pike into the waters of huuuuhh?? I think we can be safe in saying it's not Wals, he knows Russians better and has a level of disdain for pseudo-slavs.

I think one of the things about Arrow that keeps a lot of the female crowd happy are the sheer amount of topless workout scenes with a certain main character...

Don't blame us... the Brits started this one. We just commercialized the hell out of it. Hey, trick or treating is an American thing. It was pretty much non-existent here in the UK until the last couple of decades. Samhain was a general European thing, and we kept it as a night for ghosts and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night.

Hm, someone I know was having a bad day, so I sent them this : Then promptly got yelled at because I was sending them a "rape joke" and did I think it was funny? When I replied that to my mind it wasn't so much a joke as a yardstick on dealing with crap and bad things happening in my life and that if it wasn't that bad it meant it was something you could survive, and thus a way to keep somewhat sane and moving forward through the bad things in life. So I was basically yelled at again and told that I should have been apologising for sending it it in the first place and was thus incredibly dense and insensitive to women. Woops.

It's interesting how historical perspective can shift things. The church was actually a big backer of scientific advancement during that time frame, even the whole thing with Galileo wasn't as cut and dried as so many people like to think. But we have this big view of the church during the middle ages and renaissance period as firmly anti-science for some reason. Actually, for a fictional read that has a lot of good history of the early 1600's in it, have you followed any of Eric Flint's Ring of Fire?

Heh, well you did know that a large grouping of the folks who went to America to start the early colonies did so because they didn't like the amount of religious freedom's that were being granted in England at the time? They thought it was wrong not to be able to persecute people with religious differences and as such, it was persecuting them to not allow them to do so...

You just have to make sure that striking outwards is somewhat metaphorical and you don't try to use anger and a cricket bat to do so...

Okay, when your married friends invite you along for a special screening of Chico & Rita - a film about the ups and downs of a Cuban pianist and his beautiful singing partner, as they battle to unite in music and love - that will end with a tango session after the film, is it me or is that going to be a really third-wheel type of situation? An evening of a love story inspired by the latin bolero, and ending with the passion of tango.. That really seems to me to be a couples thing.

Hm, as I recall you don't need to pick up any mission to get access to that room. But the final stage of a mission bonus leads you there, but you can access it at any time. The trick is that in the room with the queen there's an entrance on the left hand side (as you enter) that is pretty much a secret hideaway. Or it's a trick of perception so it's bloody hard to notice it there unless you're practically on top of it. It leads to a corridor that winds around, but it's annoying because unless you have stealth it's a gauntlet of strong colicoids ever few feet. Kind of like the Willpower datacron on Tattooine with it's series of strong Tusken Raiders along a narrow route.

Wrapped up my Consular's class storyline, finished it at 51st level.. Not going to stress about pushing along to Ilum or Makeb or the like just yet. Although as a healer, could probably start up flashpoints and potentially ops on the group waiting list. I still haven't actually run in any operations yet on any toon. Think I might take some time to focus on my Imp Agent for a bit now, ready to hit Nar Shadda for that one. Although also have a Rep Trooper about to hit Taris I could work on.

Woke up from a very weird mashup genre dream. Fey creatures in space suits invading a space station.. A little on the oddball side. Then with the crisp chill to the air it was definitely a struggle to push myself from a warm and comfortable bed... But , alas, I made it up for the day.

Not been the best of days. Lots of up and down the stairs, dogs barking, cat caterwauling, doorbell going, a bucket load of telemarketers on the phone, and family being passive aggressive to each other which I'm trying to just not get involved in. Nothing that I've been reading/researching has really stuck in my head today, I think I need to come up with a definite plan of action and proceed, stumbling along rather then get a good working knowledge first.

There's flat and there's flat. But it's partly about getting certain patterns you establish that you always perform and succeed at the basics to get something going. And frankly, it's just damn uncivilised to not start the day with a good cup of tea. A nice brew is a default action for all problems... But I'm trying some Two Steps From Hell as background noise.

Hm. Wind and rain kept me awake through most of the night. Which is different, because normally I find it soothing. So fairly tired and trying to focus, but finding myself very.. flat, non-focused and somewhat apathetic as the morning progresses. Not sure why. Taking a good cup of tea and seeing if I can stir some motivation on the day and get my mojo in order.

Hm. Not sure what to make of Dracula. The acting is fairly decent, but they've got the Order of the Dragon as some kind of inquisitorial illuminate corrupted by greed , and a Van Helsing and Dracula team up as both wish to pour vengeance on said Order... And they're throwing in elements of Tesla science to almost add a slight steam-punk Victorian feel to things. That, and Renfield is a rather large black butler/manservant type. Looks like he's going to have an interesting character and some entertaining lines. I think I might try a few more episodes out of curiousity.

Feeling a little out of sorts today. Although do have some really nice wind and rain sounds on the trees in the garden in the background. Went with some rather nice fresh scones with clotted cream and blackcurrant with slow gin jam to perk myself up...

It's not so much as he's a liar, as he's rather fond of selective editing to post his point of view. I think he's mostly sincere about his beliefs, but he doesn't let reality interfere with them, and prefers to edit his films in such a way that mis-use quotes and footage in general to support those beliefs.

Eh, it's about half way there.
