Well, this last week is just getting better and better.

A couple of weeks ago one of the pipes that are part of the building broke.  Flooded areas of the Kitchen and living room.  So this week we've had people all over the place, first cleaning the carpets and now putting down Laminate flooring in Kitchen and Dining area.

Needless to say thats why I've not really had much time in game.

Only now I get to have even less, because this wonderful week just culminated in a phone call from the landlord's son, who is basicly her agent now.  

They no longer want to rent to us.  60 days to vacate.  So the time I thought I might have now that the work is done (oh, but its not yet, they still have another day worth of work after all) gets to be spent finding a new place.

I hate calling people I KNOW.  Let alone strangers?

*BLECH*

So, um, really not going to have much time in the game until we have this whole thing worked.

I can’t even. 111.8 F. This will be the new normal.

Well, turns out being the ghost of a murdered girl isn't all
peaches and cream.   Who knew?

Yeah, yeah, inappropriate humor.  But it so *thoroughly* sucked
to be Miss Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, Ravenclaw, Class of 1946, 
that any kind of humor was a welcome respite.  

Hope it's a good one!

Five months ago I posted the following:

Quote:Director Jason Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, has apparently been working on a new Ghostbusters movie -- set in the original movies' timeline.  And he's just released a teaser trailer, which, as the best teasers do, tells us absolutely nothing but does it in a very cool way:

Quote:Carrie Coon is also in talks for the not-so-secret project along with “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard and “Gifted” star Mckenna Grace.

"If you don't start behaving I will turn this beat right around!"

All I have is the joke, really, and the song is old enough Doug may well have already designated an effect or passed it over, but the thought made me chuckle so that's good enough justification for me

Not cosplay-level stuff -- this is 3D-printed titanium that's genuinely bulletproof and even flies.

CNN article here.

And if you don't want to click the link, here's the 3-minute teaser video that was embedded in that article:

This came up in another forum (specifically in reference to the Xanth series) but the analogy I came up with for it tickles my funny bone so I thought I'd share it here too:

Piers Anthony's writing is like that hottie who seems perfect and you can't believe they're interested in you... except after four or five dates you realize they're incredibly stupid and just keep parroting the same practiced conversations over again with different wording, and you're starting to suspect they're actually involved with some kind of freaky cult, and possibly into kinks outside your comfort level. Sure those first few dates are great, but...



edit: To be clear, I cast no aspersions whatsoever on Mr. Anthony himself with regard to intelligence or personal habits, and he's openly an atheist-leaning agnostic so no cults either. It's just a metaphor.

Fortunatly, near as I can tell Leslie is still Alive and Kicking.... and after a bit of surfing, have found that she still has cd's distributed by Both Prometheus Music  and (at least in california) Random Factors.

Those of you who know who she is, well, I'm providing those links so that maybe you can replace lost music.  THose of you who dont...  well, I wont be that boggled but instead point you at http://lesliefish.com/noname3.htm
