Yep. Usually "no news is good news".
Impus Major has his usual mountain-o-homework, plus I have a ton of paperwork for the handover to the property manager, so figure around a 2 pm start and takeout for lunch.
But I have to introduce you to TryCaviar -- much like GrubHub or Diner Dash, but they hit a good percentage of the Solano restaurants, so the food arrives piping hot.
Nom nom!

Finished the first season of the anime "Attack on Titan" last night. Maybe I'll start "Gunbuster" next.
Gunbuster.
The memories .
Be sure to watch the ending movie.
Really blew my mind.

Trying (and failing) to explain The Mighty Boosh to my brother. It was weird.your brother may not have enougj drugs in his system for it to get across properly.
I shudder to think what watching The Mighty Boosh on psychedelics would be like.
For example, As a student, I never, ever imbibed substances while watching 'Teletubbies', which was lucky, since it's very naughty and against the lawful law and would also make what is already an extremely peculiar experience even more peculiar.
Or so I imagine.

Get her to help you. I began learning to cook at her age."I thought you were going to make pies today" - Pea Bear, on the way home from getting Jurassic Park.
On the other hand, despite having a mother that did so constantly, I never did!
... I've come to terms with that, now.
XD
My mother was an all around a truly terrible cook. I started learning to cook when I was a child out of sheer self-defense. It was the only way. :)
I've been trying to teach the kidlet, and he's picked up on some stuff, but he makes slow progress because he doesn't have that same feeling of needing to do it.OMG! Kindred spirits! That is EXACTLY the line I use when people ask me when/how I learned to cook! Woo hoo for terribly-cooking mothers! :-D
(And don't get me started on the commercials that say, "Just like your mom used to make" that send me into giggle fits...)
OMG! Yes! Those commercials are hilarious! "Just like mom used to make", and I'm like does that mean dry and crumbly beyond any pretense at edibility or boiled into shoe leather consistency?! Or is this the mushy and watery like baby food version? So many options for how it could be bad... ;P

In my family they cannot cook meat. It's just like chewing leather. I don't want my meat done like my mother had done it.

I still remember when the General came over for dinner when we were dating in high school and my mom pulled the meatloaf out of the oven and the General said "you don't make meatloaf in the microwave?"

Do NOT cook it in a microwave oven.
And bacon on top is a must. If it doesn't have bacon on top it's a shitty recipe.

Shouldn't most things have bacon on top anyway? ;-D
I don't cook in the microwave. Microwave is for heating liquids, melting chocolate at best. Microwave is the black sheep of ovens xD

Is she there, Kjeldorn?
I know you are on a family meeting.
Is she forcing you to say that?
Just kidding.
My mom and grandmother were the greatest cooks. But meat was not their thing.

Why do you prefer the woman fleeing from hurled rotting vegetables?

My mother was a reliable cook when she didn't enjoy cooking, an amazing cook when she was preparing a holiday meal she was happy to make.
But when I started learning to cook, I wanted to make the dishes I remembered from gatherings with my dad's family, and there was no one alive to teach me. So I started reading. And then when the old man would come to visit, I would cook for him and ask him if it was like Grandma had made it, because I wanted it to be authentic.
He was always a little hesitant or cautious, and so I assumed I was doing something wrong.
Finally he admitted, embarrassed, that Grandma always burnt everything or made it too dry or too salty or etc., so no, it was never going to taste like Grandma's cooking, but he thought it was pretty good.

Question for Syrus: does it count as netdecking if I came up with the brew first, found out it was a thing online, then tweaked it a little based on recommendations?

My mum was actually a reasonably good cook; my dad was not. They still made me do it fairly regularly, and I'm glad that they did, as I'm now able to feed my skrawny male self without having to resort to microwaveable ready meals and/or takeaways.
I'm playing Baldurs Gate II, as happens every couple of months or so. Yit's the funnest yame in the whole yide yorld.

Waiting in the car for Pea Bear's best friend's birthday party to end (because that's what dads do. Also nice to get outside) and this dad is light saber dueling with his son. And his son says "I'm Master Yoda!" and his dad says "I was thinking more like Jar-Jar Binks"
Is... Is that child abuse?
That seems like a setup...

Of course not! It'll be hard to sell the idea to anyone who's been paying attention to the metagame, but trust in your brainchild and play it!
Consider this: Newton and Leibnitz both arrived at the beginnings of calculus independently of one another, and though most of the subject matter has been historically dominated by Newton's influence, they were not direct contributors of one another at the start.
You probably won't be able to gain any notoriety for your inspiration in the face of the "great hivemind", but -- so what? Congrats on your accomplishment! Play well!!
EDIT: I'd be interested in seeing the decklist, via PM, if you're willing to share it. Probably never use it, mind you, but it could have a new wrinkle with EDH applications. :)

Unrelated to the above:
DANG IT, MICROSOFT.
So, okay, I have to take responsibility for my actions: I put things off until the last minute. Well, the last hour. That's on me.
HOWEVER. An update that I can't opt out of, to give me "better privacy settings" that are the exact same privacy settings I already had, only this time, you know, there's a guilt trip for opting out of giving Microsoft all of my information, that takes an hour and a some change, and entirely shuts down my ability to use the computer internet to check out books for my son's book fair, is entirely on you, Microsoft! Your public relations policy sucks! You don't respect your customers! You try to guilt us into giving you PID!
I like my privacy, daggummit. You clearly haven't "heard me" no matter what you say, because you're still complaining about it and not giving me any options or control! BLARG.

Also unrelated:
I did not have TKD practice today.
Instead, I helped convert my Eldest's gym into an international TKD tournament center from 3-8.
I... am... tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred. I can't walk very well, and my body is almost being as whiny, arrogant, rude, greedy, demanding and unresponsive as Microsoft. (Almost.)
Also, I still have a couple of bruises from Wednesday.
I'm gonna do graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate tomorrow in the tournament...

Ugh.
