Aristes Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I promised my brother, wife, and friend that we could do Scarlet Monestary tonight. Ugh. My sleep schedule is still kaput.

Aristes Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Naw, we do all the lowbie stuff at level these days. We have the In the Name of the Light quest. Sadly, I didn't have time to do anything other than the library, but that was fun. We didn't get my sister, but four people is plenty good enough for that quest.

Gorgon Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yes, quite. I remember when I came to see my dad after he had died and he looked at peace for the first time in months. It all seemed perfectly natural. Everyone else was crying constantly, I didn't until months later when I started having dreams about him. Funny how these things work.

Walsingham Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thanks to all who've experessed their sympathy, and those who may feel it but be awkward about saying so. I don't really feel much yet, as it's all too weird. Like Gorgon I expect I'll only get hit hard in a week or so. At the moment I just have sudden bursts of tears for about twenty seconds and then feel fine. I know I may be sick, but had the biggest laugh in ages today when we stopped off for petrol and the Daily Express headline reads BREAST CANCER BREAKTHROUGH. We always said this would happen, and sure enough it loks as if they have found a cure for precisely the cancer my mum died of. And I mean precisely the kind, and a nearly full cure. Should be on the shelves in about two years. Unbelievable. We all had a good chuckle, because what else can you say at a time like that? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Kaftan Barlast Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 My 360 broke last night, and just before the fall season game release onslaught. Damn rotten timing, and Im not sure microsoft will replace it either so it looks like Ill miss the console exclusives.

theslug Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Sorry about your loss Wals. You know you always have a friend in me if you ever want to talk but then again I don't exactly have any sage advice or anything of the nature. And especially since I haven't shaken my 5 year long depression, though I'm actually starting to open up to the idea of getting a handle on that becuase I think its truly starting to profoundly effect my brain. Research shows that long term depression can cause the hippocampus to shrink which leads to memory issues and I definitely got some of that more than the norm. Plus headaches and various other things which are horrible. The being miserable and lonely part is fine by me but once my brain composition changes that ain't cool. In other news I had two classes today however they are both consecutive and during traditional lunch time hours so I'm super ravenous right now. I just ate a rice bowl and a deep dish pizza and I'm still ready to chow down. I also go back later tonight for a delightful 7-10 class. I think this semester should go a bit more smoothly than last. I don't have any online classes which is new for me but I'm relatively fond of my current schedule and so far my teachers seem cool. It's nice becuase I have one of my group members from a previous accounting class that is taking like everything I'm taking, tho only 1 class that we are both in together during the same time. The only thing I dread is marketing which is on Friday. I'm an accountant, I don't need to know about top of mind and stupid ad stuff, f those guyses. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Have they started prepping for the pig flu winter assault in the US ? yes. got a colorado health advisory from john's school today. they don't specifically mention h1n1, but that's what they're referring to. keep them at home till the fever has subsided for 24 hours on its own they said. i wouldn't be surprised if that's what i have, and what john had, btw, because i haven't heard of anything else going around. I dunno how serious it will be, but they are rolling out the full 'outbreak' countermeasures. probably hype. disinfectant handspray passed out to all workplaces, big red signs about how to avoid transmission, etc. i don't understand this. most of these (that i know of) are anti-bacterial, i.e., they cannot help with a virus. simply washing your hands works better most likely. taks comrade taks... just because.

I'm not being funny, but to be honest I feel more sorry for you than for me. I had a great mum, and she's gone, but it went down about as well as can be expected. I'm more concerned to hear you're having such a long drawn out bout of depression! I can't really offer any advice, except to try and look for the good things rather than always chow down on the bad.

Guard Dog Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Taking this week off. I meant to get some work done around the house but I just can't get motivated. I have gotten a fair bit of writing done on my book project. One thing I've found is that when you get rolling it just flows easy. The hard part is getting rolling. I guess writing is like running a diesel engine.

Hurlshort Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 My former students have an assignment where they have to interview a teacher about the American Dream. I gave real answers for the first interview, but for each subsequent student I've been radically changing my ideology. So I went hardline communist for one, trying to recall all of Lord of Flies propaganda, then I went redneck and talked about the right to bear arms and protect my land from government interference, and lastly I went conservative Christian and talked about family values. It's been fun, I'm not sure what ideology to adopt next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristes Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well, if you do it carefully and it's feasible without the PC police knocking down your door, you could use nazism. Frankly, Communism and nazism have quite a few things in common. I've never understood the whole idea of calling Republicans nazis and democrats communists. If you want to engage in hyperbole, you could go Democrats communists and Republicans anarchists. Of course, that's unfair to both parties, but probably more accurate and kind of funny in it's own way. Well... some Republicans lend themselves to that assessment. I guess the ones that invest most heavily in the military-industrial complex (so called) pretty much do have some ideological similarities to nazis in the same way that some Democrats have similarities to communism. I'm going to watch an episode of Eureka and then go to bed. Almost done with the whole series and I've completely decided to buy the set. It has JUST enough drama to make you feel for the characters without making me want to claw my eardrums out of my head. The scene with Carter and his daughter where the house starts playing sappy music was sooo funny. "The mood was so touching I thought some musical accompanyment was in order." haha That house would be great as a bachelor pad. Without the daughter tripping under-foot of course.
