Wife's water broke, so we are at the hospital.
Awesome!
A boy and he appears to be trouble already.Wife's water broke, so we are at the hospital.Boy or girl?
I bless the mother and child for a healthy delivery and a healthy drive home.
Congrats.
As for my spawnlet - we go tomorrow for the ultrasound that'll tell us if we've got a boy or girl.
Aww! Yayy!
Good morning all. I already can not wait for this day to be over. Or at least the work part of it. :\
Damn Damn Damn. I just realized that I never started my weekly paperwork Saturday. Ah well. I should get to work a few minutes early. :(
*sigh* Kids off to school, hubby off to work. Baby still asleep and the house is quiet. I *like* this. :)
Time to get myself and Riley ready. Have a good Monday all. (((hugs)))
Congratulations, Justin!
Morning, all!
I feel stuffy, oh so stuffy!
Still.....SON OF A b&**& MOTHER f*!%ER G*&**%N BASTARD s*!% EATING TURD SUCKING f*!%ING G&!#%~N BLURAY PIECE OF CRAP f*!%ING f*!%ED UP DISC!!!!!!My guess? The Blu-Ray authoring company updated the disc DRM to combat piracy, and hosed its compatibility with certain models/firmware of BR players.
It's happened at least three times that I know of with a certain company's DVDs that rendered them unplayable with the same company's very own DVD players (and others' players too).
I too am enraged that the motherland is forcing me to get a blu-ray machine in order to enjoy the most recent true Gundam series. I'm not enamored of the new format.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning FAWLTy HOUSE!!!!
Well, this weekend was full of tears as we played our LAST PTOLUS SESSION. The Grey Travellers(well, the two wizards in the party) absolutely annihilated their foes, and rifled through their remains to enjoy the copious amounts of money and magical items they certainly aren't going to be using anymore. This is the FIRST GAME we were able to save the day with no collateral damage or people lost in the crossfire. In many ways it feels like it did in little league when you were the 0-9 team that actually managed to win the last game of the season. It's an amazing rush of victory followed by the knowledge that you will not be playing again until next year...or in this case, more or less ever.
Sunday was the Darklight Sisterhood game and it was a frustrating one- PC paranoia regarding the item they are supposed to be transporting back to Cheliax has reached an all time high, as they refuse to leave it, yet complain about carrying it with them wherever they go. Apparently they feel someone is going to steal it from right under their noses the instant someone isn't sleeping on it(it's a table). At one point in the evening one of the PCs finally caught on that they had given their pursuers the slip, and was ready to move on with the adventure, but the path they had chosen was rather spartan(in the middle of the desert), so there really wasn't much of anythign to do. By that time in the evening, we were all full of food, and all of the gamers save one had some type of injury or malady so everyone was cranky, and we ended the game for the evening. I would understand if there were assassins following them at every turn, but the party has done an EXCELLENT job giving the Pathfinder society a whole as a laugh, and even got to enjoy some hospitality at the hands of someone who worked for them who, for a minute there, thought they actually WERE Pathfinders(and could have even hookwinked away one or more artifacts from him if they kept up the ruse, they were rolling well when it came to social events). But no, the table is somehow attracting eyes everywhere, holding them back in combat(it really isn't, they've SLAUGHTERED[quite cruelly, I might add...evil party] the one group of people who came looking for them and have defeated every monster they met by chance), and a pain to carry around(the party sorceress uses floating disk to carry it about, and the party cleric, a halfling, sits on it to enjoy the free ride). For god's sake it's JUST A TABLE! No, they can't shrink it(it's a depowered artifact, so it's resistant to shrink item) and the bag of holding they have isn't made for carrying furniture, but there's no need to panic over it- it's an inanimate object and not going to run away, nor is anyone going to steal it- it's a table and you'd need a couple of people to carry it!!!!
AAAARRRRGGGHH!! Now I see why Monte Cook made things in Ptolus the way he did! Players are paranoid!!!!!!
*sigh*
Well, there is always next game.
Anyway, I have to devour paperwork for now so I'll be back throughout the day....
Good morning FAWLTy house. I have cinnamon rolls, buttered toast, sprinkled donuts, and an assortment of whole oat cereals. I also came with bottles of cool milk, orange juice and herbal teas. All healthy, nutritious, and rich with vitamins.
Nothing gets the morning off right like a good breakfast.
...and for Aberzombie, one fresh brain in a jar. Can't beat a Monday like this.

And Justin, CONGRATS ON THE NEW ADDITION!!!
Top o' the Monday All ;P
Glad to hear it, CH. Soak up all that NYness before you head out west.
Morning all. What did I miss?
Just me going mad after seriously underestimating PC paranoia.

Perhaps perhaps. We're actually contemplating a downstate move as an alternative. There is a job opening that would be perfect for my partner in Westchester county, and I like the grad school choices that would be there. Things are so up-in-the-air right now...
Why do crazy people yell at your research?Yay had my first crazy person yell at my research proposal online today. Now I feel accomplished.
Edit: I should say my new amended research proposal. The old one got yelled at but for other reasons. This new one gets yelled at for no reason at all.
Cause they're MY mountains and I DON'T want them researched! You can research the lakes, I don't own them.

Well, disaster was narrowly avoided when Scott updated his bluray player's firmware, thus overwriting it's growing sentience and preventing it from enacting its fiendish plans for world domination. Meanwhile, Justin and his wife welcomed a new baby boy to the world, unaware that the child would grow to be the world famous inventor of an FTL rocket engine powered by bacon. And, across town, Jeremy was attacked by a crazy, penguin-loving.....No, wait! That's my soap opera!
Which schools for NY, CH?
Yeah, they all sound like good choices.
For anybody in the mood for a short animated fantasy film.
The baby was born this morning at 7:43 CDT. both him and my wife are doing well even though he was only at 35 weeks.

I found a new level of Hell.
The one where the song "Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head" is played nonstop as Muzak, only interrupted by a calm monotone voice "Your call is very important to us, please hold while we assist other customers. If you would like to leave a voice mail message, please press 1"
