Also...the Great Canadian Pizza place near my work has AMAZING donairs. The "medium" is massive, I could go for a nap right now. It was so good, but so filling.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T14:50:46-04:00
Public speaking is a piece of cake. I actually psyche myself up by thinking about how most people would rather die... its like an ego boost I guess. Speaches are easy peasy, three parts, first part, introduction and a brief overview of the subject at hand, bullet style points, second fill in the bullet points, third review and summary. If you know what you're talking about, what Dale Carnegie would call speaking with authority, you've got it made. No point in the notes unless, its that technical that you need them for formulas, etc., but for the most part, notes make you look less prepared (even though thats counter intuitive).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T14:52:57-04:00
@GM, that name has always killed me! Great Canadian Pizza, as opposed to, Not So Bad Canadian Pizza, or the Better Than Average Canadian Pizza, joint. lolz! ;) I should have gone for a donair... hit up A&W instead. Onion rings were on point today though... ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T14:55:35-04:00
@Geist, we've got lots of time to figure out some fun stuff for you to do. I will also be quite busy prepping for the halloween party as well so we'll have to see if GM can help show you the night life part, I hardly ever go to a bar, unless my bands playing there... ;) We'll have to squeeze in some EK as well! Ain't no party like an EK party cause an EK party goes BOOM!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-01T15:06:32-04:00
Ain't no party like an EK party cause an EK party goes BOOM!
LOL!
I'm not much of a party girl anymore but there has to be some fun stuff to see at night. Plus, I can try my hand at being a wing man for GM.
Night life? What's that? (Last time I was at a bar was my friends 18th birthday...back in 2006).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T15:14:28-04:00
@Geist, and GM, okay, well we'll play lots of EK then! And decorating cookies and such! ;) I've got a pretty sweet 3D tv we could check out a movie or two... We'll have a good time, of that I have no doubt! Its like they say, you can never be bored if you're never boring! ;P
I must be a riot then! I'm rarely ever bored(and usually only because I really don't want to be wherever I am at the time).
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-01T15:20:08-04:00
If you drive me up and back, I'll come with! Also, I don't have enough money for gas, but I'll say a joke or something every once in awhile to make it worth taking me. And I can bring some freaking awesome games along with. See? Totally worth coming just a few hundred miles out of your way!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-01T15:25:43-04:00
I think I may finally be able to catch up on sleep after this week! I'm like a full day behind now.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-01T15:44:45-04:00
I wish I could go up there when Geist does. We'll see...
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T15:59:37-04:00
@LZ, oh snap! That would be so amazing! I'm so using you sauce on my chilli cheese loaf this year!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T16:03:59-04:00
What is the largest gathering of KC members yet? We gotta make it in Calgary! Mostly cause I can't afford to travel south this year... :(
Traveling south this year is bad for both of us. I'm still paying off the Vegas trip. >.<
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T16:27:39-04:00
@GM, I hear that, I'm still paying off our three Disney trips last year... in retrospect I'm glad we did that last year, instead of waiting for this year anyways.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-01T16:29:57-04:00
Now that would be interesting to have LZ there. Maybe even Creeper since she is closer to Canada than me. Heck, I might travel to NY and catch a plane from there to Calgary.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T16:47:49-04:00
If Creeper comes up too, we're going to have to get some shirts made up! Calgary Kitten Corps Con! Whoo hoo! I'm thinking like the old school metal shirts except instead of the black sleeves, flannel ones!
I'll also put this out there Creeper, all you have to do is get here, we'll look after you from that point! I know its still expensive for the flight but, thats all you would have to cover. ;)
If you lived more eastern, I'd say Geist, Potatten and I would just drive up.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T17:22:49-04:00
Yeah, that sucks that we're on opposite sides of the continent... but you don't want to make sad cat even sadder do you? ;)
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-01T17:43:57-04:00
If I can make it, I'll be driving.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T17:54:43-04:00
@LZ, we'd love to have you! That would be a really nice drive actually, beautiful country on the way here for sure!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-01T17:55:01-04:00
Have a great weekend kittens!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-01T17:59:14-04:00
That would mean I'd have to get a passport, huh?
Stupid new laws....*grumble grumble groan*
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-01T18:36:42-04:00
Yea, it's a bummer that Canada makes you show a passport now but I needed one anyway. I might be going to Kenya next year
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-01T20:42:28-04:00
Calgary Citten Corps Con! (that's only to make it a nicer CCCC)
If someone is willing to drive out to lonely ol' me in Nebraska, I would love to come! Though I have no money, not enough time around then due to classes... but I would still absolutely go up there! I can drive to make up for some of it! I think I have a passport already, would just have to find it. We always have them in case of vacation.
I'll drive, bring awesome games, and in general do mattressy things!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-01T20:45:48-04:00
Also, I have something to tell you all. It's all a lie, me on here. My name, everything. I'm not who I say I am... I'm... a mattress from the planet Sqornshellous Zeta. You may have read about it in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which I hear is fairly popular here. Micah is my internet and legal name.

Ken, it's in beta right now. There are still some junks they're working on, so it's hard to give an ETA. My opinion is that it won't be horrendously long, though
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-02T13:41:25-04:00
How about the online version? We really need that. Like pretendyoure.xyz for Cards Against Humanity.

Scrunchie is back. :) she walks into bedroom, eats, sleep in there a few hours and leaves. I wish I could administer some antibiotics for her. That poor eye/sinus infection.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-02T17:22:35-04:00
Wow, I want to see your jacket so I can be inawe as well! Never done that before! Sorry, couldn't help it.
Just show Scrunchie all the well-wishes in the comments here. I'm sure that'll cheer her up. I know I'm pullin' for her. I'll send a get well soon balloon or something.
Wow, reading back through that, it can either be just tongue-in-cheek joking, which is my intent, or absolutely condescending! I hope you're not in a bad mood so it doesn't sound rude!
I lay On the floor and talk to her sometimes. But also happy to let her sleep alone in the bedroom. Doesn't have to worry about flies, other cats, loud noises. It's super quiet and safe for her. Makes me happy. :)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-02T18:02:26-04:00
Also, for everyone into tabletop RPGs on here (I know there are a few of you), if you still haven't taken my advice and watched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, seriously, just do it! I've never seen a movie this much in a short period of time! It's about D&D, but the humor is so extensive and amazing!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-02T19:58:53-04:00
I like how I make it sound like "Yeah, it's about D&D, but other than that..." when really that's one of the things that gives extra depth to the comedy. Plus, I mean, it's funny to anyone regardless of how they feel about it or anything in general!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-02T20:28:30-04:00
All three of the Gamers movies are great. I think Dorkness Rising is my favorite, though.
"Really?! You wasted your one wish on an NPC?! You could have been a god! I know Mormons who would kill for that!"
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-02T21:57:58-04:00
They're putting out the fourth now! It's on Season 0, episodes like once a month or something. It's looking to be amazing!

Huh. Bad thing about not watching actual tv- instead of just Netflix--- Times Square was evacuated and I had no idea. My work is a block away from there. Glad all is safe.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-02T23:05:52-04:00
Really? Evacuated for what? That sounds extreme!
Also, you work just a block away from Times Square? That's awesome.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T02:09:04-04:00
Don't know why I've never seen Catch Me If You Can before, but it was a really good movie!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-03T03:53:31-04:00
@Creeper: I tried an Internet search and don't see any info on the evacuation. Strange.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-03T03:55:42-04:00
In other news: the wind is howling outside like something out of a horror movie. Should I be reading in the dark? (I have a book light on to see, not x-ray vision)
It ended up being nothing- a truck that was unattended and running for a long period of time.
Yeahhhhhh...working a block from Times Square is a huge pain in the ass.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-03T13:25:25-04:00
@Creeper: How is Scrunchie doing?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T14:41:37-04:00
The only thing more beautiful than the music somebody was blasting so loud from the bathroom you could hear it down over 30 feet of hallway and through the enclosed space of the bathroom and 2 thick fireproof doors was how out of tune the guy was singing along with it. The song was a rap song apparently inspired by the atonal movement, so the off-tune-ness of the accompaniment balanced it all out. He was exactly as off-tune as the song was abhorrent. I can't even find it. When I tried to find it, all I could find were 50 cent, eminem, and slipknot, which it was CLEARLY not. I really hope he didn't have to pay to get that song.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T14:46:24-04:00
The followup was even more beautiful; a perfect example of how to abuse autotune in every possible way. It's not a bad tool in and of itself, but when it's used for the powers of evil, it creates an auditory balrog.
The next 'song' was literally a repetitive 2-measure almost techno ditty (though I don't want to sully a type of music with some actual good hits with this thing) where he would only rap 2 syllables at a time. Over. And over. And over. This is the type of thing they blast at guantanamo bay repeatedly for days on end along with "I love you" by barney and "Panama" by Van Halen (which I wouldn't have any problems listening to full-blast like that at all) in order to break prisoners in interrogations.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T14:46:48-04:00
Otherwise, I'm actually having a great morning! How about everyone else?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T15:31:38-04:00
Oh wow... wow, they put WAY too many jalapenos on my sandwich! It's awesome! Feel the non-political burn!
... oh great, the soup I got today is spicy. Well, see you guys when I get out of the hospital for severe burns to the mouth.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T15:34:11-04:00
I'm actually sweating from it! The sandwich started off normal, but the end had like 3 jalapeno slices per bit at least! Ow. They're not hot peppers at all, but this... this is a new sort of dayum.
`
So really, nobody's going to stop this tyranny? The reign of Zem's comments is here to stay again? I mean, it hasn't been much time and on a weekend, but I guess the All Zem All Nite Show is back!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-03T16:22:44-04:00
I wouldn't be so concerned with mouth burns if I were you. It's the butt burns you have to watch out for.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-03T16:23:52-04:00
No, it's the AZANS is not back. There's a special guest here!
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-03T16:26:06-04:00
Besides, it isn't anywhere close to night right now. If anything, it would be the AZADS.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T16:39:27-04:00
That's why it's All Nite; it's just a title, so I can get away with a daytime show even without a marathon.
"No, it's the AZANS is not back. There's a special guest here!" So... it's not back? Or there's a special guest star? Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Lz of hot sauce fame!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T16:39:52-04:00
Also, the only times it really burns out the other end is with really spicy stuff, more like the best pho ever type burn. That stuff is amazing going in, but when it comes out, you think your body is trying to contact satan or something.
"And it burns burns burns, the ring of fire... the ring of fire."
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T16:42:52-04:00
AZADS is the daytime talk show and AZANS is the late night variety show. I guess you're my talk show guest today. Tell us all about your sauce! What inspired it, how it's so magically delicious, any codes we could use in the future to get a bottle for free... Actually, forget the first two questions, just that third one is all that's important.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-03T19:31:30-04:00
There will be codes, yes.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T19:59:10-04:00
Woohoo! Free hot sauce!
`
Wow, between several cups of coffee and the stress from taking on an actual city in Mount&Blade with four times as many fighters, the king's army itself, and the benefit of fortification, I'm shaking right now! I thought I'd just take a banana break and give myself some potassium and time to cool down. So much fun! I freaking love this game!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-03T21:56:38-04:00
In other news, I crossed less than 100 from you today, LZ! That'll obviously fluctuate greatly this week, but I thought I'd check up on that.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-03T22:28:03-04:00
Okay, but how far until you overtake Dr. P? He's the next for you to take, afterall.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-03T23:16:18-04:00
Hot sauce and secret codes? What am I missing here?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-04T01:08:58-04:00
65... 64 until Dr. P. You're 1,037 behind Creeper, so it would seem I was right about being the chosen one to unthrone her.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-04T01:09:54-04:00
Geist, pretty much nothing. That's all that's happened today. That and AZADS, of course, but that's where Dr. Lz revealed he'll have super secret codes for all the free hot sauce we could imagine.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-04T01:32:05-04:00
Oh, nearly forgot! Finally watched the first 2 Gamers movies with my roommate! Good thing he finally wanted to before our one-off campaign next weekend which is in very large part inspired by The Gamers. That makes like 8-10 times for Dorkness Rising within a month and a half or so, and now 3 times for The Gamers! This is absolutely certainly the most I've ever seen a movie within such a short period of time! It's set the scene for the entire culture of this semester.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-04T01:35:31-04:00
Not to further the spam, but I've made 13 comments today, now 14, to everyone else's combined 10. I blame the coffee, making me overactive. Even with games, eating, youtube, and 2 movies, I commented a normal amount on a (to be fair, slightly more active than normal) sunday.
... shit, I just did it again!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-04T05:55:55-04:00
Morning kittens. Another work week. That's all I got.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-04T09:19:04-04:00
Good morning kittens!
I've got the Iron Maiden concert on Friday, thats what I've got!!! ;P
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-04-04T10:08:28-04:00
Geist, that's all it is. Started off just like a normal monday; couldn't fall asleep until about 4:30 for no reason whatsoever and now I get to deal with that all day.
Another stiff muscle day. Thankfully, all the demolition we needed to do(aside from under the washer and dryer) is done. And what's left will take all of 45mins to rip up, and 20min to remove all the staples they use to hold down the K3 flooring.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-04T10:30:38-04:00
@LZ, I'm afraid I'll miss the launch of your Hot Sauce KS because I won't know it's coming.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-04T10:33:29-04:00
Also, what does "AZADS" stand for?
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-04T10:34:38-04:00
The video should be done tomorrow, so it'll be launching soon
I know, that's part of the reason I left it in there. I was just going to say "Another stiff day"
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-04T10:52:56-04:00
Just another rousing day at Morning Wood acres... ;)

So many things...
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-04T11:18:22-04:00
On another note: winter is apparently back. Had to run the heaters this weekend. At this rate I won't get a cheap electric bill until after June.
Mike Kabala 2016-04-04T11:23:35-04:00
Well in my case, the stiff muscles come from acting like I'm a kid again and moving a bunch of boxes around in storage on Saturday. Didn't notice it until yesterday, but my rate of analgesic consumption has increased markedly since then.
No opioids though. Those things make me feel worse than the pain they're supposed to relieve.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-04-04T11:24:05-04:00
That is so weird! It was 74 here on friday and low 60s yesterday, back up to 70 again today! 77 on friday! Whoo hoo! Its only April!!!
*Le sigh* Love when you say one thing, and people hear a completely different thing....not doing the US payroll this week is going to wreak havoc on my mental stability. -.-
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-04T12:02:13-04:00
Will be nothing but 50's and nightly lows of 35. *sigh* And now all the Cherry Blossoms are gone thanks to gale force winds over the weekend.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-04T12:29:04-04:00
Okay, so what days is Geist going to be in Calgary?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-04-04T12:34:50-04:00
Good question LZ. I'm waiting on BaKhan to tell me so that I can book my ticket.
Lord Zombitten 2016-04-04T12:38:30-04:00
I see. Well, the wife and I will most likely be coming. The kids...probably not
Also...the Great Canadian Pizza place near my work has AMAZING donairs. The "medium" is massive, I could go for a nap right now. It was so good, but so filling.
Public speaking is a piece of cake. I actually psyche myself up by thinking about how most people would rather die... its like an ego boost I guess. Speaches are easy peasy, three parts, first part, introduction and a brief overview of the subject at hand, bullet style points, second fill in the bullet points, third review and summary. If you know what you're talking about, what Dale Carnegie would call speaking with authority, you've got it made. No point in the notes unless, its that technical that you need them for formulas, etc., but for the most part, notes make you look less prepared (even though thats counter intuitive).
@GM, that name has always killed me! Great Canadian Pizza, as opposed to, Not So Bad Canadian Pizza, or the Better Than Average Canadian Pizza, joint. lolz! ;) I should have gone for a donair... hit up A&W instead. Onion rings were on point today though... ;)
@Geist, we've got lots of time to figure out some fun stuff for you to do. I will also be quite busy prepping for the halloween party as well so we'll have to see if GM can help show you the night life part, I hardly ever go to a bar, unless my bands playing there... ;) We'll have to squeeze in some EK as well! Ain't no party like an EK party cause an EK party goes BOOM!

I am too because then there's a good chance someone's coming by my way to carpool with.
I think the beer may have clouded my judgement on those potato chips.
The UNL newspapers, the Daily Nebraskan and the Daily-er, combined into the Half-Asskaner! Some of the articles are just genius! It's exactly like a cross between The Onion and Welcome to Nightvale!
In fact, this... this article is EXACTLY like Welcome to Nightvale! All it needs is "And now the weather." at the end! http://www.dailynebraskan.com/arts_and_entertainment/an-exclusive-q-a-with-the-silver-tree-by-andrews/article_09aa3ac4-f7aa-11e5-86f7-0f1606726a16.html
Any ETA on the android version?
Ken, it's in beta right now. There are still some junks they're working on, so it's hard to give an ETA. My opinion is that it won't be horrendously long, though
How about the online version? We really need that. Like pretendyoure.xyz for Cards Against Humanity.

I wore my jacket out today- my coworkers were all inawe
Scrunchie is back. :) she walks into bedroom, eats, sleep in there a few hours and leaves. I wish I could administer some antibiotics for her. That poor eye/sinus infection.
Wow, I want to see your jacket so I can be inawe as well! Never done that before! Sorry, couldn't help it.
Just show Scrunchie all the well-wishes in the comments here. I'm sure that'll cheer her up. I know I'm pullin' for her. I'll send a get well soon balloon or something.
Wow, reading back through that, it can either be just tongue-in-cheek joking, which is my intent, or absolutely condescending! I hope you're not in a bad mood so it doesn't sound rude!
I lay On the floor and talk to her sometimes. But also happy to let her sleep alone in the bedroom. Doesn't have to worry about flies, other cats, loud noises. It's super quiet and safe for her. Makes me happy. :)
Also, for everyone into tabletop RPGs on here (I know there are a few of you), if you still haven't taken my advice and watched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, seriously, just do it! I've never seen a movie this much in a short period of time! It's about D&D, but the humor is so extensive and amazing!
I like how I make it sound like "Yeah, it's about D&D, but other than that..." when really that's one of the things that gives extra depth to the comedy. Plus, I mean, it's funny to anyone regardless of how they feel about it or anything in general!
All three of the Gamers movies are great. I think Dorkness Rising is my favorite, though.
"Really?! You wasted your one wish on an NPC?! You could have been a god! I know Mormons who would kill for that!"
They're putting out the fourth now! It's on Season 0, episodes like once a month or something. It's looking to be amazing!

When you find an evil throne, you must stab it!"

Huh. Bad thing about not watching actual tv- instead of just Netflix--- Times Square was evacuated and I had no idea. My work is a block away from there. Glad all is safe.
Really? Evacuated for what? That sounds extreme!
Also, you work just a block away from Times Square? That's awesome.
Don't know why I've never seen Catch Me If You Can before, but it was a really good movie!
@Creeper: I tried an Internet search and don't see any info on the evacuation. Strange.
In other news: the wind is howling outside like something out of a horror movie. Should I be reading in the dark? (I have a book light on to see, not x-ray vision)
It ended up being nothing- a truck that was unattended and running for a long period of time.
Yeahhhhhh...working a block from Times Square is a huge pain in the ass.
@Creeper: How is Scrunchie doing?
The only thing more beautiful than the music somebody was blasting so loud from the bathroom you could hear it down over 30 feet of hallway and through the enclosed space of the bathroom and 2 thick fireproof doors was how out of tune the guy was singing along with it. The song was a rap song apparently inspired by the atonal movement, so the off-tune-ness of the accompaniment balanced it all out. He was exactly as off-tune as the song was abhorrent. I can't even find it. When I tried to find it, all I could find were 50 cent, eminem, and slipknot, which it was CLEARLY not. I really hope he didn't have to pay to get that song.
The followup was even more beautiful; a perfect example of how to abuse autotune in every possible way. It's not a bad tool in and of itself, but when it's used for the powers of evil, it creates an auditory balrog.
The next 'song' was literally a repetitive 2-measure almost techno ditty (though I don't want to sully a type of music with some actual good hits with this thing) where he would only rap 2 syllables at a time. Over. And over. And over. This is the type of thing they blast at guantanamo bay repeatedly for days on end along with "I love you" by barney and "Panama" by Van Halen (which I wouldn't have any problems listening to full-blast like that at all) in order to break prisoners in interrogations.
Otherwise, I'm actually having a great morning! How about everyone else?
Oh wow... wow, they put WAY too many jalapenos on my sandwich! It's awesome! Feel the non-political burn!
... oh great, the soup I got today is spicy. Well, see you guys when I get out of the hospital for severe burns to the mouth.
I'm actually sweating from it! The sandwich started off normal, but the end had like 3 jalapeno slices per bit at least! Ow. They're not hot peppers at all, but this... this is a new sort of dayum.

So really, nobody's going to stop this tyranny? The reign of Zem's comments is here to stay again? I mean, it hasn't been much time and on a weekend, but I guess the All Zem All Nite Show is back!
I wouldn't be so concerned with mouth burns if I were you. It's the butt burns you have to watch out for.
No, it's the AZANS is not back. There's a special guest here!
Besides, it isn't anywhere close to night right now. If anything, it would be the AZADS.
That's why it's All Nite; it's just a title, so I can get away with a daytime show even without a marathon.
"No, it's the AZANS is not back. There's a special guest here!" So... it's not back? Or there's a special guest star? Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Lz of hot sauce fame!
Also, the only times it really burns out the other end is with really spicy stuff, more like the best pho ever type burn. That stuff is amazing going in, but when it comes out, you think your body is trying to contact satan or something.
"And it burns burns burns, the ring of fire... the ring of fire."
AZADS is the daytime talk show and AZANS is the late night variety show. I guess you're my talk show guest today. Tell us all about your sauce! What inspired it, how it's so magically delicious, any codes we could use in the future to get a bottle for free... Actually, forget the first two questions, just that third one is all that's important.
There will be codes, yes.
Woohoo! Free hot sauce!
`
Wow, between several cups of coffee and the stress from taking on an actual city in Mount&Blade with four times as many fighters, the king's army itself, and the benefit of fortification, I'm shaking right now! I thought I'd just take a banana break and give myself some potassium and time to cool down. So much fun! I freaking love this game!
In other news, I crossed less than 100 from you today, LZ! That'll obviously fluctuate greatly this week, but I thought I'd check up on that.
Okay, but how far until you overtake Dr. P? He's the next for you to take, afterall.
Hot sauce and secret codes? What am I missing here?
65... 64 until Dr. P. You're 1,037 behind Creeper, so it would seem I was right about being the chosen one to unthrone her.
Geist, pretty much nothing. That's all that's happened today. That and AZADS, of course, but that's where Dr. Lz revealed he'll have super secret codes for all the free hot sauce we could imagine.
Oh, nearly forgot! Finally watched the first 2 Gamers movies with my roommate! Good thing he finally wanted to before our one-off campaign next weekend which is in very large part inspired by The Gamers. That makes like 8-10 times for Dorkness Rising within a month and a half or so, and now 3 times for The Gamers! This is absolutely certainly the most I've ever seen a movie within such a short period of time! It's set the scene for the entire culture of this semester.
Not to further the spam, but I've made 13 comments today, now 14, to everyone else's combined 10. I blame the coffee, making me overactive. Even with games, eating, youtube, and 2 movies, I commented a normal amount on a (to be fair, slightly more active than normal) sunday.
... shit, I just did it again!
Morning kittens. Another work week. That's all I got.
Good morning kittens!
I've got the Iron Maiden concert on Friday, thats what I've got!!! ;P
Geist, that's all it is. Started off just like a normal monday; couldn't fall asleep until about 4:30 for no reason whatsoever and now I get to deal with that all day.
Morning kittens.
Another stiff muscle day. Thankfully, all the demolition we needed to do(aside from under the washer and dryer) is done. And what's left will take all of 45mins to rip up, and 20min to remove all the staples they use to hold down the K3 flooring.
@LZ, I'm afraid I'll miss the launch of your Hot Sauce KS because I won't know it's coming.
Also, what does "AZADS" stand for?
The video should be done tomorrow, so it'll be launching soon
All Zombies Are Damn Sweet?
AZADS stands for all Zem all day show
A Zombie A Day Sauce...? ;)
All Zebras Adjust Dockets Secondly?
...Now we're just stretching things here.
Another stiff muscle day.
I could interpret that so many ways.
I know, that's part of the reason I left it in there. I was just going to say "Another stiff day"
Just another rousing day at Morning Wood acres... ;)
@BaKhan: LOL!
Naughty kittens!
So many things...
On another note: winter is apparently back. Had to run the heaters this weekend. At this rate I won't get a cheap electric bill until after June.
Well in my case, the stiff muscles come from acting like I'm a kid again and moving a bunch of boxes around in storage on Saturday. Didn't notice it until yesterday, but my rate of analgesic consumption has increased markedly since then.
No opioids though. Those things make me feel worse than the pain they're supposed to relieve.
That is so weird! It was 74 here on friday and low 60s yesterday, back up to 70 again today! 77 on friday! Whoo hoo! Its only April!!!
*Le sigh* Love when you say one thing, and people hear a completely different thing....not doing the US payroll this week is going to wreak havoc on my mental stability. -.-
Will be nothing but 50's and nightly lows of 35. *sigh* And now all the Cherry Blossoms are gone thanks to gale force winds over the weekend.
Okay, so what days is Geist going to be in Calgary?
Good question LZ. I'm waiting on BaKhan to tell me so that I can book my ticket.
I see. Well, the wife and I will most likely be coming. The kids...probably not
