Nepenthe Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Was reading a thread on Bioware Social. Saw a remarkable lucid post with an excellent point. Realized it was my own. Edited March 23, 2012 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Raithe Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 As of yet, I have never posted a thing on Bioware Social.. I think I'm actually kind of proud of that.... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Gfted1 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Very hung over today. My brother was passing through and spent the night on Tuesday, then ended up staying until this morning. Last night we drank a whole bottle of Knob Creek between us then broke into a case of Guniess I had that wasn't even cold. Doing that I violated on of the cardinal rules of booze, never chase liquor with beer. It's ok to do it the other way around but once you start on the had stuff, stick with it. Youve got it backwards. Its: Liquor before beer, never fear. Beer before liquor, never sicker. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

Well, I'd argue that if you're drinking a half-bottle of whiskey plus a few beers in one night, the order you take them in is fairly unimportant. Anyhow, the tabletop RPG group I've been playing with has wrapped up its classical Greek campaign, which was great fun. (The primary villain was the rising expansionary influence of Rome-- the "end boss," if you will, was Consul Marcellus, who we killed to relieve the seige of Syracuse.) The next campaign has me a little nervous. GM responsibilities are shifting to a different player, who is very excited to be running a campaign based in the Farscape setting. Having watched a grand total of 3 Farscape episodes, I don't quite share his excitement (yet), but I'm willing to give it a chance. There is an officially licensed Farscape RPG system, but the GM didn't like that and has instead adapted a system that was designed for the Buffy/Angel setting. (He's apparently quite an afficianado of RPGs based on TV series that I've never watched much of.) I've never seen him run a game before, though, and I doubt he'll be as good as our previous GM, but he did do a good job putting together the rulebook and intro materials. We did character creation this week, and the system looks pretty cool. It included a method for creating your own alien race, which I was all over. I am rather excited about my character-- a non-combatant mystic illusionist and musician, heavily based on life, music, and philosophy of Sun Ra. (Well, if Sun Ra were a cycloptic telekinetic alien whose scream could melt metal.) I'm also excited by the fact that my wife came along and made a character. It will be quite interesting to see where this particular development goes. Edited March 23, 2012 by Enoch
LadyCrimson Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 In an effort to not have to give up one of my new cats, I'm trying this: http://petcomfortzone.com/cats.html ....I'm pretty dubious, plus it's expensive. But if it works I suppose I can deal with that. So far Mr. Grey does appear to be more mellowed/less high strung, at least. Don't know about his hallway spraying problem yet.

Gfted1 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Ah, spraying. Hes not deballed then? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Guard Dog Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Well, I'd argue that if you're drinking a half-bottle of whiskey plus a few beers in one night, the order you take them in is fairly unimportant. Yeah that about sums it up. There is a reason I don't drink to the point of inebriation, usually. Somewhere in my early 30's hangovers went from being a mild inconvienience to a seriously debilitating condition.

LadyCrimson Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Ah, spraying. Hes not deballed then? They're both neutered. Not a guarantee of not spraying/marking, especially if one waits until after they start the behavior to neuter (vs. before 4 months say). Get the feeling it was done later. Mr. Grey's the hall sprayer...maybe once or twice a week. Mr. Black just pees on the inside walls of the litter box occasionally. “Things are as they are.

Blarghagh Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Mr. Black and Mr. Grey. Maybe I should have given mine easier names, I somehow envy you because I decided it would be funny to give them ridiculous names. My three cats are Dr. Droolbabble, Engelbert Humperdinck and Binkelinus the Third of Liechtenstein. My girlfriend, however, refuses to call them that and has renamed them Murphy, Rachel and Binky. Wait, or were those the real names and did mine come later? I forget. 1
Gfted1 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Lol. One of my cats is named Spongebob Squarepants but luckily he answers to Bob. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Raithe Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Had an awkward sleep, woke up and gone through the day with that kind of fuzzy headache grinding away and feeling fairly unsocial. Told a friend and his fiancee that I'd sponsort them for some charity run they're doing..and then found out it's no longer sign some paper and hand them cash. You have to go to the right website, fill out details and pay via credit card or paypal.. I can understand the whole making it easier in some ways to get sponsorship if you're doing it via facebook and social networking..but still. Adding paypal fee's or credit card issues to potential charity. Ah well, at least it's not as bad as the charity workers who are paid hourly fees to go out and get people to pledge a pound a month. Or the like. When they admit they get paid better then minimum rate, and you see a collection of about 10 of them, spending 6 hours loitering around the village precinct.. It makes you churn the numbers and realise the charity has to get x number of people pledging money just to pay those guys off, before it even gets to what the charity is about.." Or maybe that's just my antisocial mood today... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Nepenthe Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 IIRC paypal waives their fees for charities. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Or maybe that's just my antisocial mood today... It's a good idea, because it shows how many others have pledged. Mate of mine was doing something charitable, and I pledged 200 quid. After that the average pledge doubled (made up figure, but basically true). "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

WDeranged Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Woke up with the remnants of a hangover from a few days ago, felt crappy, the incredibly vivid dream of a girl I fell out with a few years ago didn't help, you think you're getting over something quite nicely and then a dream can take you right back there...bleh.
