I hope you're enjoying that Buffy comic I picked out for you. It seemed right up your alley.
Also, Korean fried chicken is awesome.

kfc should stand for Korean fried chicken!
Also the Buffy comic is seared into my optic nerve. I boo and hiss at random intervals now.

Really? It was used for $15, so I snagged it ASAP. I have heard that Burst Angel is mainly about cheesecake piloting giant mecha shooting up things with minimal plot development (at best). I want to pick up Eden of the East sometime or another. NetFlix has it on instant view, but I prefer the quality of a DVD over streaming video.

burst Angel, huh? Nothing has yet to come close to the giant robot cheesecake perfection that is godannar. I'll have to check it out.

Parental facepalm moment -
My daughter was telling me about how economical her prom is turning out to be this year. Her hairdressing friend is going to do her nails for $22, an updo for $25, and she did the coloring for only $30 (which are big savings). The most expensive thing will be her spray tan at $45.
She didn't mention our neighbor that's making her the gown, the $65 I paid for the ticket, or the $60 my wife paid for dress accessories.
Then she hit us up for $50 for her share of the limo. I'm waiting to hear about the money she'll need for the restaurant after the prom.
Yeah, real cheap day there, honey.
I laugh. I cry. I must be a king, 'cause I sure raised a princess, hehe. The boys were so much easier. And cheaper!

Somehow I missed this post, and was just looking back at something and noticed it.
I'm out in Suffolk County.

The thing is, I can see how that is a damn good deal, expensive as it is.

Yeah, I have to admit, I didn't pay much less way back when. Take out the tanning and the limo and adjust for inflation and...yeah, actually for prom that's not so bad....there are things about being a girl that just cost more money. But there aren't that many times in life when you get a chance to dress up like a princess. :)

Also, woohoo! I just finished my last exam. As long as I got 50% or better I will have my A for sure. I'm pretty sure I got at least half the questions right. :)
And now to go do some not-school stuff. I think I might go grab lunch at the Somalian restaurant before heading to the grocery store. We're out of like everything.

I need to do something special for the 84 yr old neighbor that's making her the gown, mostly out of leftover materials from his dress shop. He'd charge a customer about $2k for that gown. Bless that guy. 84 and still works 6 days a week, and doing something like that for us. Occasionally fixing stuff around his house for him doesn't seem enough.

My mom is a geriatric nurse. She loves working with the older folks - their stories, learning what they've learned over their lives has always fascinated her. When I was a kid she'd "drag" us along and have us read to the parapalegic young lady in one room, or play the piano and sing with the lonely old patient that nobody visits. I resented it as a selfish little teenager, but looking back, I think my mom was right, I only hope my teenage resentment didn't come through and instead I helped make someone's day a little better.
Help around the house is so great and appreciated, I'm sure, but a suggestion might be inviting him over for an evening of board games and snacks or an outside bbq where he can sit back, socialize, enjoy some good food, and have an audience for stories or gain new stories to tell. :)

hi everyone,
tomorrow is national holiday, Labour Day, hooray
traditionally you can't spend that day indoors, your options are:
1. a world peace march (they are all over the country)
2. a Maitour you go somewhere and do a piknick
3. Grillen (BArbeque)
tonight is Walpurgis Night, traditionally with a Dance into the May and the raising of a Maitree

I did my civil service year in geriatric care, helping the village nurses and visiting or driving old people.
Some great stories and my help was really appriciated, it was a good time.I had one old lady who had met the last german emporer and did travel by Zeppelin!

we did see the Avengers tonight, great film, I had fun, neither me nor sAbine had seen any of the single superhero movies or ever read any of the comics so it was all new teretory.
(i knew Nick Fury from old x-men cartoons and even here in germany we know thatnhe hulk and captain america exists, the others where completly unknown to me.
who was the guy after the end credits that gave the camera a sideway smile?

So I just opened the cavern set from Dwarvenforge. OMG this stuff is beautiful, completely blew my mind. But as a side note I order 2 Cavernous passage sets and cavernous room sets, you really only need the 1 passage set. For your average size gaming table it's more than enough.
When I place an order for something, I prefer the passage not to be cavernous.

I am not the only one! My mother, who has alternated between geriatric and psychiatric nursing, did the same thing when she was at nursing homes or the like! She usually brought me in to play the piano.
One old lady was so into the music, and afterward produced a large manila envelope. I looked inside, and it was full of sheet music that she had written in her younger years. I played one of her compositions on her birthday. I still have it.
Then there was the old lady who told my mother how much sex she was planning to have with me... That one was less special.
