A little dull on these Emerald Isles, the sky fire has retreated in favour of the overcloud, who promises/threatens (depending on your point of view) a wash out over the weekend. Wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have the little one, but we'll just have to take advantage of the clear spots when we get them. :)

Well, not right here, I'm at work currently (boo!), but at home, with his Nana currently. I picked him up from his mum at the train station yesterday lunch time. He was glad to see me, and I was sure glad to see him too. :) Settled right in when I got him home, like he never left. He's calling me Daddy now, as opposed to Dada, which I guess is an improvement? Vocally speaking, I mean, like, more complex than just Dada. Anywho, yeah, also working on please and thank you and making sentences as opposed to just single word demands. :P Currently it goes:
Mouser: "Drink!"
LS: "What do we say?"
M: "Ta taaa!"
LS: "Close enough."
Sometimes I get the pleeees first, but he's known ta-ta a lot longer so he falls back to it a lot. :P So, trying to encourage him to say them in a row. I'm not really sure what I'm doing to be honest. Every word he says just fills me with pride that I probably let him off too easily a lot of the time, but I just love the little mite so much.
Getting bloody teary-eyed talking about him, so I'll leave it at looking forward to a fun weekend ahead for now. w00t for bank holidays. :)

** spoiler omitted **
Lord English is a character from the webcomic Homestuck, one of the primary antagonists. While not originally an Ultima reference - the comic's author hadn't played the games at the time - several of the readers thought/assumed he was and either inquired about it or assumed he was to share some of the same properties. This latter the author eventually acknowledged and added himself, with the line "Lord English is supposedly indestructible. He's rumored to be killable only through a number of glitches and exploits in spacetime.", in reference to the fact that Ultima's Lord British is normally invulnerable in the games, but can be killed, harmed, or removed by glitching. (Linked source, but it's smack in the middle of the story with very little explaining context. Homestuck is long, and very complex and convoluted and self-referencing at the best of times. Also has a great deal of swearing. You've been warned. =) )
For a long time he was a faceless character, a threat mentioned in the background and hinted at but never revealed except through occasional glimpses of his trademark green trenchcoat, but as of the latest chapter of the story he's actually physically present and doing things. Whether or not this is a good thing is really dependent on your point of view after reading the story. On the one hand some of the things he's done as a villain are pretty awful and make him out to be a legitimate threat. On the other, they reveal a great deal of his backstory and you have the whole Anakin Skywalker situation of "this badass bad guy loses a lot of his cool factor when you've seen him as a whiny kid".
"I am Already Here" is English's catchphrase, noting his ability to time-travel and hop between universes. He tends to arrive just before a universe self-destructs or otherwise ends, then time-travel backwards to set up his army of servitors and underlings to arrange his own arrival, which often coincides with arranging for the death of the universe in the first place. Again, Homestuck is pretty bad about being self-referential and tying the timelines of the story in knots. It's pretty difficult to explain without reading the thing.

HAppy Friday!
(Which for me is just another day in a 7-day work-week) :(
But don't let me ruin YOUR fun! Oh no. Don't mind me. I'll just be over here. Working. And Not grilling or chilling. Nope. Not a bit,... ;P
Wasn't someone going to invent us a time-pause-inator? For these weeks with no breaks? So we could take a little break and still have all of our busy work stuff?
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone at all? Really? No takers?
Oh C'mon! We're up to model 3000 on the weather dominator! :)

Ah, the infamous 'P-O'd for some reason' encounter. Not for the lower level newbies or the faint of heart.
Good luck CY! ;P
Hope all the mini-me's feel better quickly.
My own mini-me is getting WAY to big to be my Mini-Me anymore. He's growing so fast he'll soon be a ME sized Me. :(
(He's going into 6th grade/ Middle school next year. And he doesn't have the tallest parents) ;P

One more thing I forgot to add... His music is awesome. (But then so is most all of the music the comic uses.) And kind of freaky when you listen to it reversed and realize...
