My bro decided to come and pick up his Christmas presents today. I bought his GF a calendar, which seems kind of redundant in mid-March, but it's his own fault. Anyway, they're coming over soon, we're going window shopping in town, and then they shall see the flat. I haven't seen him in a while, so I'm looking forward to it.

*sigh* got behind again, goltar got sick, and then he got the kids sick (screaming nightmares, PLUS molar teething = huh?what? I feel alseep while sitting here?), and then he had to go on a trip for work while I'm sick. Can't concentrate enough to play anything right now so I figured I drift into the bar for a bit....
I hate RTS. But D&D played the right way is not all that much fun either. I loves me games that let me hoard and congregate, but not have to actually play with strangers like KoL (I wonder if my superhuman advanced cocktail crafting transfers to here?) and D2. Or co-operate one on one, I like the personal touch
The new Mario on Wii is wicked in multi player, a real test of teamwork and some of the videos! OMG. Like the one where Luigi gets picked up and never touches the ground after that.....
@corax, you'll find out about the accidently-bought-two-of-something a few Christmases from now when some will tell you "we got X for your little one" and you see it and think "oh that's just perfect for her" and get another yourself. My mom almost did that with El's Easter dress this year, we got one for her and then my mom saw it on sale and told me the next day that she liked it so much she almost got it but the OS price was still a bit high, and I got to tell her we got it cheaper already, you're right, it does look cute and she adores it.
I can't have caffine because it makes me bounce off walls. Literally. As in last time I had 2 Cokes myself and a simarly affected friend played "who can jump to touch the highest point on this wall." Then giggle our @sses off when we fell down.
I know I've said this somewhere before but my handle is short for Water Holding the Reflected Moon. It's from my "Indian name" (in college my friends and I gave people nick names like "Runs with Scissors" and "Girl with the Teddy Bear Hair" and all decided to pick images or actions for names ourselves too). Since the internet was new at the time, but we were old/smart enough (/familiar enough with internet pervs going after anyone with a girl's nick
) not to use our real names we used those for our e-mails.
I don't know about in Austrialia, but we couldn't find out with El (she was shy and hid) and there are almost NO gender neutral clothes here! Even half the nursery things are pink butterflies or blue sports (we went with Winnie the Pooh for bright colors and gender neutral, turns out it was a good thing b/c then everything worked with #2 being a boy!) They expect everyone to know I guess... Then with him we wanted to know so we could keep/get rid of the saved baby clothes.
*notices noodle is GREEN* *shudders* is that just in time for St. Patty's?
@swiller: I'm sorry to hear about that. But you asked what's worse: how about not being able to go to your own newborn's funeral b/c you're still in the hospital recovering from the emergency C-section and praying the other one doesn't die too. A good family friend had her twins 4 months early last summer and the little boy didn't make it, they ended up having the funeral before she was allowed out of bed, much less the hospital.
@FE: A calender? how cheap is he? They're going for $1 right about now.

Ugh. That's so sad. My friend had triplets and one didn't make it. She, too, was worried she might lose more. Luckily the other two girls are improving daily.
I've been to a lot of funerals in my life, but nothing compares to seeing a casket that just so...tiny.

Surely a regular D&D group wouldn't be strangers after the first few sessions?
Regarding the calendar, I bought it in early December as her Xmas present, apologies if that wasn't clear in my previous post.
Bad mood. Beer please.

*Beers Eddie* nono, the D&D issue is if it's played the right way you have encomberances, ie. you can't carry everything you find with you. Not to mention it can all kill you. Treasure should be fun/sell for lots, not try to eat you.
@swiller: how early were they? The twins were 23 weeks IIRC and once the girl made it to 24 she was upgraded from 4% to 12% chance of survival. (She's home now and off the O2 though she can't go out/have vistors until Easter.)

There is no God. Noodle is green.
I can't imagine how horrible burying a child must be.
The worst that I have experienced was the death of one of my best friends. He also died from heart failure (at age 22) a complication from the leukamia drugs he took when he was a child. It was hard for me, but does not compare to how hard it was for his parents.

The email led to more emails, and tonight we are attempting to meet. I am really not comfortable with this. I do know myself rather well, though, and if I don't do it now I never will, so I am sucking it up and will try to avoid a total psychotic breakdown. If I don't post anything in the next few days, or I do and it is nonsense, then I failed at that.
That is my serious posting for the day. I took my Bio test, then came home and sent off emails to coaches, and will settle down for Homefront momentarily. I was very cheerfully awakened from my nap this morning by a steady pounding coming from outside that sounded like someone smacking the road with a large piece of metal. It was, oddly enough, someone smacking the road with a large piece metal. A backhoe, to be precise, one manned by who I can only guess are city workers. I arrived at this conclusion by observing the 7-man crew over the last few hours, and these were my findings:
-There were never more than 4 working at a time.
-They left at about 2 for a 45-minute coffee break.
-There are no signs warning you of the torn up road, so people have been turning around in my driveway all afternoon.
I couldn't guess as to what they are doing, since there are no manholes near the spot they are digging and the pavement is fine. Even if it wasn't, there is no paving equipment, so they don't intend to fix the hole for a while. Yay!
Dew please, to go with this headache.

I hate that. You wind up really tired the next day, and if you take a nap or something you aren't tired that night and it happens again. It just sucks.
Can I interest you in some roofies?

What does playing zombies entail, Corax?
GF and I just sorted out three bags of clothes we don't want, now we can actually use the wardrobe as God intended. Also found a few cool things we'd just shoved under the bed when we first moved.

I am curious about the zombie thing too.

Today was useless. I've noticed I look and feel like a blob. Guess it's time to stop eating only sandwitches.
I'm having falling out with the games I play. WoW is boring and I despise it's gameplay. Median has so many things going onscreen that my brain can't care about any of it. Newerwinter nights makes me scared I'll get my character wrong and end up failing.
I bought Painkiller and Freespace2 from GOG. Although perhaps I need to get a life to counterbalance all the video games, perhaps that would bring the fun back.
