What you did today

[Azdeus]

Ah, I did'nt think that was an actual word, thought it was an autocorrect gone mad

 

I don't have actual double glass windows in my house so we have inserts instead, we usually put some cotton strips and small decorations inside them to make it more festive.

Trying to study for my last 2 finals tomorrow but too many distractions

I've got my last tomorrow. I plan to pop a ritalin and plow through it.

So long, Ralph Baer (92yo), inventor of the "brown box" gaming console, and more importantly, this:

 

 

 

Simon is the most Fascist game ever.

Had a nice lunch/visit during a grey afternoon. Now settling into my desk chair for some more obsessive gaming to the tune of all the hit singles of the 70's and 80's that I can handle.

 

The neighborhood has been very loud in the mornings the past few days. Construction noise from next door + a few blocks over from some business + that damn rooster. Headphones were a nice invention.

So it looks like I managed to pull off a B in Chem. I have no idea how I did that, but I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.

Trying to figure out the logistics and finances of a long distance relationship that requires flying back and forth across the Atlantic every 6 months or so..

Helping out being an alarm clock for her daughter by phoning her to check that her daughter is awake for the school bus while she's in hospital recovery from surgery.

 

Also, while trying to get the post-jet lag oomph to start exploring the dark depths of the attic and find the Christmas decorations my mother has had her Monday planned surgery delayed, and ended up being taken into hospital due to chest infection, fluid in the lungs, and assorted doctors general concern and worry.

A pretty unique moment in my life, I went to the toilet but when I tried to open my zipper instead of opening the little metal bits exploded everywhere.

I'm sure there is a joke in there somewhere, but I doubt it would be appropriate.  

[Blarghagh]

I think jokes would just devalue the absolutely confused feeling I had when it happened.

A new, warm catbed/pad, put it on floor. Cat sniffs it, looks at me funny (it's not food), walks away. (much later) Hubby comes home, comes in my den, says "your cat likes his new bed." I go look...he's lying on it all cute-like, purring and pawing and looking so kewl. It may take them a few to realize it, but they do appreciate what you do for them.

 

Of course, by the time I grabbed a camera, he was up and following after me for attention instead.

I just spent 100 bucks on Magic The Gathering Cards, I must be mad, or a massive nerd. But I have to keep the upper hand over my friends enemies, and they've been gathering massive reinforcements (good cards) lately. 

 

(If anyone is interested, I'm building a Chronozoa token spam deck with lots of nasty cackling counterparts, cryptioplasm  plus body doubles for support and counter spells to keep them safe.

Since my friends play decks with tons of powerful creature destruction spells my strategy is to simply drown my opponents with dozens of my creature copies. Quantity over quality. )

My friend made a rather disgustingly effective deck along those lines, but went Blue/White and had paradox haze. He also had a white rhino thing that kept exponentially multiplying during upkeep. But yeah Chronozoa can be very effective.

 

As for drowning in quanitity I made a White/Black sacrifice Zombie deck recently. The main combo is Xathrid Necromancer to resurrect the humans and Ashond's Altar  to kill them - and get mana to throw Army of the damned.

Darth Raven used to be a regular here and was a porn star so you've been trumped by just about every poster already. And then there was 'him'. Some say he was the love child of Ron Jeremy and Hugh Hefner. Others say he was grown in an Auckland laboratory located between a sex shop and a brothel. We only know him as, Shryke.

Extra big storm supposedly coming to town. Rain, winds w/super high gust speeds, blah blah. They even closed the schools, don't think they've done that in over a decade. Seems like an over-cautious thing to do, but whatever.

 

Our little garage's lift-door has a tendency to let in a wide puddle of water a couple feet in, due to wind direction at times, under normal heavy rains. This could get interesting. I already put hubby's power cords off the floor just in case. Told him to move anything near the front he didn't want wet. If it gets wet, not my problem.

 

I love storms...I think I'll be standing outside in the morning, watching. Hopefully I won't blow away.

Brent Spiner once said to me "That's because I am your husband", via Twitter. Granted, it's not porn star infamy, but ... but ... he replied! *geekgasm*

[Blarghagh]

Why did Brent Spiner claim he was your husband?

I actually wanted to get me some paradox hazes but they're sold out everywhere, sadly. I got some other stuff to get rid of those time counters fast though, like clockspinning and Power Conduit. But those hazes would have been perfect. For the second color I think I'll go with green solely because of the extra insanity of parallel lives. :D

 

The black white zombie deck sounds like a quick powerhouse, with 13 zombie token at once I'd totally put in a Righteous Charge and a true conviction.

 I remember it being discussed at one point. Now you've asked I'm starting to doubt myself though. If it turns out she isn't then you've let Longknife win by the way. I hope you're happy.

Wind blew the garbage bin over. Haha.

All of a sudden I can't see YT embeds at all on the forum. I've updated Firefox, I've updated Flash, I've updated Win7, I've allowed all scripts, etc. all in an attempt to battle a rash of weird browser behavior. Nothing's working. It's fine one session, wonky the next. *shakes fist at FF, Adobe, and general computer gremlins"

 

Closed/restarted FF, now I can see them again. For now. I need a Gremlin-buster.

[Malcador]

Snow all over the place here, so as a result the city has stopped working. Pretty lousy day today, have to go the office Christmas dinner tonight, free food is the only good point. Tomorrow off work though, huzzah!

[LadyCrimson]

According to Twitter, power is going out all over the place as the storm moves across. The power better not go out here (for more than an hour anyway). Whatever would I do....hrumph. I'd so die in an apocalypse.

 

Dangit, do I have flashlight batteries?

[Tale]

So Saturday I helped a dog get home, but it never has to be that easy, does it?

 

I'm driving to work and I see a dog on the side of the road. Adorable little Shiba Inu, probably less than a year old. It has a collar on so I figure this is going to be easy. I pull over, call to it, it runs a little too daring into the road, but comes to me. I check the collar for the phone number and call it, no answer, I leave a message.

 

Somewhat scarier, the number is a Houston area code and I'm near Dallas. The dog's well groomed and it's a good breed, I can tell someone will be missing it. I put her in the car, head to work, and take care of what I absolutely had to in all of two minutes.

 

Then I start visiting vets to see if any recognize the dog. My vet doesn't, the vet up the street doesn't, but they give me the dog's chip number and the phone number for Home Again. I take the dog home, put it in the back yard and call Home Again. Turns out it's not a Home Again chip, it's an AKC Reunite chip. Call them, the number they have on file is the same number I have that doesn't answer.

 

I call up to the only other local vet I know of, the Banfield at Petsmart. They recognize the dog's name! They have the number in their system! But... they don't know how it got there. They're a national chain, it could have been entered at another location.

 

Anyway, I have an appointment to get some work on my car done. I leave the dog in the back yard thinking that if they call while I'm out, I'll tell them the address and they can just come get it. I'm 10 minutes down the road when I get a call, it's not the owner, it's my mother. The dog has disappeared from my backyard.

 

Another 10 minutes later, the owner finally calls me and I have to explain this.

 

Right when I get my car dropped off, I call my mother and have her pick me up so I can look for the blasted thing. I find that it found its way into the neighbor's yard, I have no clue how this happened. I call the owner, tell them the good news.

 

Not quite done, I open the neighbor's gate and the dog blasts off across the road. It runs straight into the open garage across the street from my neighbor and into his open house door. He's out working on his lawn, so I try explaining to him, he doesn't stop what he's doing except to mention he has two dogs of his own inside the house. Maybe two minutes pass and the Shiba comes blasting off out of the house and heading down the street.

 

I yell out "come here" and it makes a wide turn right back to me. Then I just hang around for the owner to come, not letting the dog down for a moment. Happy ending.

 

 

 

Also my Soylent arrived today. Pretty excited about that.

[Amentep]

The power better not go out here (for more than an hour anyway). Whatever would I do....hrumph.

 

Play with cats?

[Woldan]

Got my hair cut. I have to admit, 4 millimeters sides and back is kind of cold in the current weather conditions, but its so practical. And I'm a hothead anyway.
