melkathi Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Went and watched Star Wars. Why is it, every time I go to the movies, I get to sit next to the person spending the whole time on their phone? After checking facebook yet again, guy looks up, sees three characters on snow-covered ground, looking at their destination. He turns to the girl sitting on his other side: "What are they doing?" Two replies wrestled in my head, wanting to be the one to pass my lips and assist this poor lost soul. 1) "Why not ask on facebook?"~Too snarky. 2) "Well, after they barely escaped the Cylon attack on Babylon 5, with the help of Malcolm Reynolds - who had hijacked a Goa'uld mothership - they acquired a Delorean, and used that to travel back to Alderaan, where they hope to rescue a young Ripley, who was abducted by a T-2000 so she would not give birth to Alex J. Murphy. If they succeed, together they will commandeer an Atlas Mech. The Atlas you see is the only thing with enough fire power to breach the Fortress of Solitude, where they can find the plaid Kryptonite necessary to destroy the One Ring and Voldemort's control of the Spice and through it the Tardis. Then they will be able to sit back and live long and prosper ever after."~Better, but then I'd have missed the movie saying all that. Next time I'll just bring a taser. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Malcador Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Planning when to go see Star Wars, hopefully cinemas won't be packed and it'll just be the losers paying to see it multiple times just because.

Oerwinde Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Guy smoked a power pole. No power until approx. 2am. Haven't wrapped any presents. Usual Christmas eve is wrapping while watching The Hogfather. Edited December 25, 2015 by Oerwinde The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Malcador Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Merry Christmas everyone. Kind of a lame one here, really. Due to house repairs no gifts and with no people over, it's going to be a typical Friday ;lol: 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Lexx Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 PayPal helped me save money this xmas. Wanted to buy some stuff, but then... nope, account limited. Had to change my pass, my security questions and identify myself and now it takes a few days for them to check the later. I'll guess they didn't liked how I logged in from a totally different computer and location this time and then locked up my account. Highly annoying, but oh well. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Blarghagh Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 Lame one here due to scheduling conflicts. Celebrating with my family tomorrow and the inlaws the day after. 1
BruceVC Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Lame one here due to scheduling conflicts. Celebrating with my family tomorrow and the inlaws the day after. Sounds fun, for me Xmas is not necessarily about a big celebration because sometimes circumstances prevent this As long as you have a good time that is memorable for you on a personal level it can never be lame Edited December 25, 2015 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Vaeliorin Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Merry Christmas, everyone! The family will be here soon, so off for those last minute finishing touches. 2
Guard Dog Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) I've been binge watching Turn and The Americans all day. They are both pretty good. I gave the dogs and rabbits their Christmas gifts. The dogs got new toys and some new grain-free chew treats. The rabbits got a celery stick each and a new salt block.

kgambit Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 The cats got catnip mice but weren't impressed. So we went outside and cut some fresh catnip for them. They are now in drug induced stupors and purring up a storm. Merry Christmas to all. 4
Oerwinde Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Power went out last night so we wrapped presents with flashlights instead of watching Hogfather. Kids were awful today, son got all his presents taken away because he refused to stop playing to clean up his garbage. Dropped my disabled sister in law when trying to take her to the car to drive her home after nearly passing out from the exertion of carrying her down the stairs. Wife has pneumonia so I had to do all the cleaning, cooking, errand running, etc. as well. Sister sent me an amazon.com gift card instead of amazon.ca and I redeemed it without thinking. This was fixed easily last time she did this when the rep just zeroed my balance and refunded the gift card. Apparently their reps now are retarded because they couldn't figure that out and now I may be stuck with 20 bucks of Amazon.com credit that is next to useless. They can deliver your **** with drones. They can refund a goddamned gift card. Anyway. I'm burnt out from all the people and need to veg with some fallout for a bit. Once again sacrificing sleep for recharge time.

Hiro Protagonist Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Have some people over and their 5 year old daughter just threw up all down the stairs. Fortunately we don't have carpet and it's wooden floor boards throughout the house. Out comes the mop & bucket and after 5 minutes of cleaning I have to take a break as I was convulsing and about to throw up as well. Geezus, the smell. I've left my girlfriend to clean up the rest. I couldn't take it anymore. 1
Gfted1 Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Dang, rough 24h there Oerwinde. Hope the recharge goes well. This years "immedite family" Christmas party was at my brother in laws this year so we cruised over there. Good food, good times. On the presents front, I finally got to open that set of Craftsman ratchet wrenches I bought myself. So shiny. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

This made me laugh as I've been in similar situations I also can't handle the smell of vomit and its really bad when you end up having to clean something up that nauseates you and you end up unintentionally making the situation worse by getting sick yourself "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Hurlshort Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Yeah I retch pretty bad when the kids vomit too. I usually get the job of hosing them off while my wife cleans up the vomit. Good times. I'm taking the family to Star Wars this morning. 1
