And the house - just down the street from my younger brother's place. Wolfthulhu and Tordek - you may go ahead and pity me now.
Yes Pity him, he only brings 1.5 children into the madness (2 by Christmas), but I have three and mine can't wait to "run down the street every day to see Skinny Punk (aka Uncle Scott)".

Stay dry, aeglos.
no floodingw in my area, Bavaria and Saxony where hit very hard, Sabines hometown was cut of from all roads for 3 days, luckily her mum and grandma live high enough, so no problems there but friends had to clear valuables to higher floors and have some minor flooding, nothing to bad but still expencive and annoying.
some towns are so deeply flooded that only roofs of one story houses are visible, the damage will be around 10 billions

So they'll have a advantage of numbers of their side? Poor-poor Houston. At least we know who will inherit Houston Chamber Of Gamers command in the future.

Trying to get used to the new shorter hair. Had about eleven inches of hair cut off yesterday. It's gonna take me forever to grow it back out, but it was too damaged to keep so it had to go. Gonna take a while to learn how to style it properly too. This morning's attempt ended up looking like Stephanie from Lazy Town. Thank goodness I have a good hat collection. :)

Inherit? More like "stage a violent coup".

And this is one of the many reasons I'd rather be an aunt than a mother.

The large hunk of blonde hair in the dustbin is mine.
Not taking any photos of the new haircut until it looks less cartoony. :P

And also I have siblings so I have lots of practice at being maddeningly literal. :D

Well, if no one elder is alive after the coup's violence ends and they are next in the line of succession it is inheritance...

Ditto, with appropriate gender-term adjustment.

Heh, looks like I'm not the only one who had bizarre dreams.
Help me out if you can, FAWTL. I really need to know where I got this. I'm 90% sure this is pulled from the ending of some animated move, but every time I start getting close to the answer, my memory goes NOPE and yoinks it away.
The dream begins near the story/movie's end, in a massive house or mansion where the main characters have lived. The children have gone missing, as have the villains - a brother/sister (or possibly husband/wife... the animation style in my dream was very Don Bluth so I'm fairly certain the answer was not "both") team who are either kidnappers, conmen, or thieves, I can't remember which. After searching the house for quite some time for them, the parents/adults head to the deepest, most obscure part of the house - either a basement or an attic, I can't remember which - and activate something that opens an entrance to a massive underground river, complete with a large boat for them to use.
After riding down the river for some time and tackling some of the hazards of the underground waterway, the group of adults notes that they've been going in circles for a while after passing something familiar in the water repeatedly. (A wrecked ship, I think?) One of the characters, overcome with despondency, begins crying; this activates some kind of code or magical password - I recall the phrase "True sorrow only can open the gate" or some such - that reveals another waterway path, allowing the family's ship to escape the loop. Unfortunately, this portal was trapped by the villains somehow and pulls their ship in on violent rapids, sending them rushing down a dangerous current.
They manage to negate the rapids safely enough, though, and when the water calms they find the children in a much smaller boat or raft. However, moments after arriving - and before they can get the children onto their ship - a big computer screen/TV display thing pops up in the air above them, revealing ASCII-style digital representations of the two...
that sounds AWESOME. No idea what that is from, however. Did you fall asleep with the tv on? You may want to check last night's listings. Works wonders for me.

Orthos |

Nope, no TV in my room, and wasn't watching anything on the computer - though the river bit could be explained by the fact that I keep a noisemaker website with rain sounds running at night to help me sleep.
Before bed I played Pokemon for about an hour and a half, then chatted with Scint and another of my players on Skype for a half hour.
And I agree, it was awesome. Probably one of the funnest dreams I've ever had. And as much as the rest of it is muddy, I can remember very vividly what the monstrous forms of the villains at the end looked like. If it's not actually something I remembered from somewhere and instead is something I literally dreamed up, I might have to use it in a game or story somewhere.

Charles Dickens as Morrissey. Damn, but we need to get a (good) Swedish version of Horrible Histories made. If only I had some talent.

Orthos |

On the bright side, I've got a Kingmaker run tomorrow.
Seems we're only a few sessions away from finishing the campaign :D
Huzzah!!
My group finally located Hargulka's lair last night, so next session they're taking their (little) army and marching down to kick some troll. After that Ch2 should wrap up swiftly, and there'll be a bit of downtime before Ch3 kicks in.

Little pink slugs for you and me
Cool.
Why a will save to notice the poison's effect rather than a perception check? Is there some narcotic effect?
