Huzzah!!!
Weird. My sister's birthday is Dec 21, also.Hmm, Dec 21 is my sister's birthday. I don't recall her having any children, but she did spend several months in California in the 70s....Oddly, It's also my partner's mom's birthday. Both December 21.Your mom kicks ass! Please tell your birthday sister I said happy belated birthday!!!!Life's decent enough. Took my mom out to dinner last night for her birthday (which was actually Tuesday). Doing some last minute sorts of stuff today. Christmas is too expensive.Was the holiday shopping season busy overall?Is the store busy today?Here with you guys.Quick show of hands -- anyone else working today?*raises hand*It's fifteen minutes past the time we were scheduled to close, and we're already home. So no. Dead as Marley's ghost.
Merry Christmas Eve to all the observant Fawtlies and Paizonians. May your days be merry and bright!
Fairly decent, yeah. Not as good as the retail reports I've seen quoted, but we're not a major retailer, nor are we in a standard location.
How's life, CH?
Brother!
Thank you.Cite away. It's a recurring theme in my zombie dreams. They always start out with me becoming stricken and the rest of the dream is spent concealing it from zealous zombie-slayers.Nothing says Merry Christmas like another zombie apocalypse dream. Yet again I was trying to hide my transformation and decomposing body from everyone around me, but this one was a lot more gory (people's faces getting torn off and such). I had a moment of lucidity right at the point where people found me out and were going to destroy me, and decided it was a good time to wake up. How were your Christmases?Zombie Apocalypse Dreams are next up for my Atomic Array rants. Mind if I cite your particular dream? I've never heard of anyone taking the "guy who hides that he was bitten" angle. That's really interesting.Heh heh...I have more like "post apoc" dreams; more Road Warrior than Zombie Horde;....
Zombie apocalypse has become such a prevalent trope....I think it's the western of the 2-ought's (whatever you call that decade). It's like a subgenre now, man. Same way westerns are a subgenre of action...
(or whatever the f&%% you'd call Little House On teh Prerriz...)I was wondering if there was some sort of underriding psychological drive to it; and CH's dreaming about it kinda makes me wonder more.
Is that you, Lil Joe?
The aughts, the noughts... all better than the zerosies.
I'm on such a similar page with you, and planned to talk about this new dream trope. I like post apocalyptic tales and I like zombie apocalyptic tales, but I dream only of the latter for some reason. Probably the fight or flight aspect of them.
I think my post apoc dreams are "responsibility dreams;" you get them when you're a parent.
I don't know what the zombie apoc dreams are though.
The Krampus forms a boxing ring, and the bad kids get to fight for one last chance o prezzy's.
THEN, if they loses a tooth, the tooth fairy gives em some dough.

Not sure how to interpret that. Some latent fear or outsider syndrome?
Sorry you're having bad dreams, CH. Hope it cycles back out and is replaced by something better soon. I've never had a zombie dream or even heard of one until now. I have a reoccurring nightmare that seems similar, but I doubt what it means for me is applicable to you, so I've got no advice on helping yours go away (but then again, mine still comes back regularly too).

I'm thinking if anyone needs a rewrite of the original Grimm's fairy tales, Spanky should be one of the writers. :)
I need glasses I thin.
First, I thought "carnivorous blob" was "carnivorous bob"
then I thunk "kingdom vs kingdom" was "klingon vs klingon."
Classic. Throw pie. Hit Chuck Norris.
PROFIT!!!

Meh. I don't have bad dreams very often. Apart from these, the worst they get is that darned koala who keeps stealing my food. (Really, I have that dream. It's annoying but he's so darn adorable.)
Do you eat eucalyptus leaves?
I give that one 2 thumbs up.
It just doesn't make any sense. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves.
I think he's f!+$ing with you.
Yeah, if he's doing anything besides "eats, shoots, and leaves" (sorry) that koala's gonna have lower gi trouble before too long.
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! f*~@ING SNOW!!!!!!
How much did you get?
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! f**#ING SNOW!!!!!!
I am snowed in myself. Brooklyn is a ghost town right now. I live on a major street, and the plows have more stuck cars in the snow than anything else. I can barely see the street, and that's saying something.

Believe it or not it snowed here all day. Never stuck, but it was pretty to watch the flurries fall. That makes twice this year it's snowed down here, so much for global warming. :P

Actually, it wasn't too bad here. At least not as bad as I thought it would be. I did one round of shovelling last night, along with cleaning off the cars. Then I had to re-shovel this mornings, followed with cleaning off one side of my car. The roads weren't that bad at all. A little tricky in some places, but 4WD made it easier.
Now I'm safe at work for a few hours. Yay me!

Morning all. What did I miss?
Well, Scott began to shovel snow from the big storm, only to be attacked and mauled by a flock of hungry penguins which had escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Ralph and Carl were kept busy at the office repairing all the leaks in the ceiling and cleaning up the mess left behind. And, across town, residents were surprised to see a hovercraft...No, wait! That's my wintery soap opera!

So, here at work I'm one of three people in my branch to make it in so far. This means that I'm acting Branch Head. Whoopee!
Anyway, there are some ceiling tiles near my desk that are literally bulging down with the weight of water that has leaked through. They've been dripping all morning, as evidenced by the soaking carpet. The Facilities people are here trying to fix. Should be interesting.
Sad thing is, this is the second time in the same spot. This building sucks ass!

Oh man. People had to spend the night on the A, 2, 3, and J trains last night. I can only hope they weren't on the elevated portions of those lines...

I forgot where you are located...
We got quite a bit of snow (relatively speaking) in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. The roads were pretty bad yesterday morning in that they were covered with no cleared lanes including the interstates. But, it wasn't a sheet of ice, so I had no problem driving in my little Saturn.However, when I left my brother's place where I stayed for Christmas, I took Kempsville RD to Indian River to I64. When I was on Kempsville in the right turn lane to get onto Indian River, I had to wait for the traffic coming toward me on Kempsville because they had the green left turn signal. Low and behold, the front car turning left could not turn left and his car just kept comng straight at me. Fortunately, where the right turn lane veered onto Indian River, there is a tiny triangle shaped "island" which happened to be invisible because it was covered with snow. The oncoming car hit it and stopped about six feet short of where I sat in my car or else I would have been broad-sided in the driver's side door where I sat. He then started spinning his wheels but when I got out ot give him a helping push, the wheels took hold and he backed up then sped off. He obviously didn't know how to drive in the snow. So, I guess I was a little lucky yesterday. But, other than taking a long time to drive the twentyfive or so miles home from my brother's place, it was an easy trip.
A belated Merry Christmas to everyone here. I was able to get on my laptop at my brothers but didn't have my password to log-in. :(
I forgot where you are located...I'm in Philly. We only got about 12 inches or so. They had a lot of prep time to get the roads salted and have the plows running. Still, the postponed the Eagles game, which had a lot of fans pissed off.
COOL!!
Someone I love very much lives in Philly. HOW THE FRAK THE GIANTS LOST THAT GAME AGAINST THE EAGLES IS BEYOND ME!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Sharoth. :)
Happy Birthday Sharoth. :)

Yesterday was weird. Total post holiday depression. Even though I had nothing to be depressed about. Christmas was good. *shrug* Who can even begin to understand the human psyche. Especially when hormones are involved. :/
Today I am taking the day off. I may finish reading my new cookboook. I may finish stringing that necklace I was repairing. I may start reading the star wars d20 rulebook since I promised I'd learn the rules over break. Especially since we're only about eight sessions from ending the game we've been playing for the last four years. There's some possibility we'll come back to those characters and play into epic levels, but Dan is not ready to deal with that yet, so twentieth level is as far as we go for now.
Today is ~Sharath's~tm birthday, dang and I work a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNGGGG shift today and will not be home to call.
Happy Birthday may your hoard grow to massive proportions.
WOOOOOHOOOOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAROTH!!
We haven't had much snow here. I mean, there's still snow on the ground. And they keep forecasting snow, but nothing more than light flurries. Not that I'm complaining. And honestly that's pretty typical for here. We aren't really near any lakes so there's not usually much snow.

What Zombie man, did your brother get you holy water againLMAOWho are you again?What a wonderful brother I have he is the only one who knows where my wishlist is. Got 2 books last night for Christmas, Princes or Darkness and Dwarves of Golarion. What a great brother.
Does it make his hair stand up like putting a finger in the light socket? I have heard rumors that this is how Urizen gets his hair fixed most mornings.
Mornin' folks. Today is the Dragon's birthday, so if you see him make sure to tell him to have a happy one.... before you slay him and loot his hoard.
~gulp~ They are after my hoard! ~arms all the traps and prepares my spells, ready to defend my hoard~

What did I miss?Well, William and Isabel woke to a plethora of phat Christmas loot, never realizing that their parents had to sell raise and sell goats on the side in order to afford it all. Meanwhile, Ralphie's old man was furious that he didn't get to taste any of the Christmas Turkey, but he calmed downed after a few glasses of wine. And, across town, some kid accidently shot his....No, wait! That's my special holiday edition soap opera!
Don't you ever relate my kids to the goat monger brother of yours in N.C. ever, you hear me ever!!!
