Lady complaining about the movie, Cats: And they gave the female cats breasts where humans would, you'd think they could use CGI for that!
Me: Do you REALLY want to see Taylor Swift with 8 CGI nipples?

Tubas parp,
Are you listening?
In the snow,
Milkmaids glistening,
Slathered in oil,
Ready fitted with coils,
Freehold in a Hentai wonderland.
Gone away
Are maths tutors;
In their place,
Massive hooters.
They jiggle about,
As space robots spout,
Cosmic fire in Freehold's Hentai wonderland.
In Wisconsin, we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is Freehold DM.
He will rid the nation of false Gundam;
Geeky wives in ecstacy will screaem.
Later on, he'll perspire.
Everyone will admire,
His black manliness,
Whether clothed or undressed,
Freehold's birthday in a Hentai wonderlaaaaaand!!!

Freehold is in charge of the artillery? Does that make him the thread General or Regent? I always saw him as the Warden for some reason.
I have been playing far too much Kingmaker since the DLC went on sale and I bought the season pass.
All I know is Tac is the High Priest and Orthos the Magister, and Limey most likely seems like the Royal Assassin, because of his mastery of weaponry.
I'm clearly thinking too much about this.
Oh, certainly he can, but be sure he doesn't take you too literally and start believing he's Robespierre or Oliver Cromwell again.

OK, I must admit... I am impressed.
Impus Major's friend arrived at 7:45 am, and the two of them drove the 50-mile, 70-minute journey to San Jose without incident, even stopping to get gas along the way. (Highway 880 along the east side of the bay is the major north-south trucking route in the area, stopping at the port of Oakland, so the freeway is notoriously one of the most dangerous in the Bay Area.)
They picked up his friend's girlfriend, then drove back, again without incident. Then they decided to go to lunch at Chipotle with the amazingly bad parking lot. Again, no incidents.
Impus Major is really beginning to cut his chops on "real" driving around here.
(Now when he goes onto the Eastshore at 8:10 am on a weekday instead of a Saturday, then he'll get my true respect...)

I think of Cap as the Warden type only for outdoorsy stuff, but Freehold does talk about all the places he patrols in his abscondi car, so that fits.
Also, Cap is clearly the General’s consort. I mean. Obvs. :V

Saw Star Wars. Solid 8/10. Very entertaining.
Caveat: The pattern that I've seen seems to be if you liked Ep7 but didn't care as much for Ep8, you will like Ep9. If you really liked Ep8 as much or more than Ep7, Ep9 will seem a disappointment.
Maybe not 100% accurate, but has appeared to be pretty solid theory thus far.

Kids.
They were cleaning their room, Hermione got upset about something, threw her Harry Potter wand at Teensy Valeros, and gave him a big gash in the forehead just over his right eye.
There was so much blood on his face and hand, for a minute I didn't believe it was really blood and I thought they'd been playing with their face paints again.
I got woozy and nauseous and almost blacked out while I was cleaning up his face.
The blood clotted quickly, he has none of the symptoms of concussion (I've had two, I know what to look for), and WW got home in time to take over from me so I could go sit down in a dark room until my head cleared.
Then I let *him* talk to Hermione about her behavior.
He's almost definitely going to have a scar, but that's what I said *last* time he gashed his forehead, and he was disappointed when he didn't end up with one.

So... here's one of those "generational things" that I believe I can dump squarely on the shoulders of Generation X, but this is getting downright stupid:
- I think I mentioned before that the neighbor two doors down wants my kids to babysit her son, but she won't directly interact with them. She asked me about it, I quoted $10/hour, she said that would be awesome, and I told her to follow up with my kids. Then she got all unhappy with me because I didn't make my kids go to her house and do it.
Er... you want a babysitter? Show some spine and interact with my kids.
- I've also mentioned the parent of the son who has fairly serious autism, but who seems to be happy enough being himself when she's not around. She's the one who was trying to organize "play dates" for her 17-year-old son. So, apparently she has a grant, and she wants to hire Impus Major to supervise a group of special needs teens once a week. To my amazement, Impus Major agreed and said he'd do it.
So of course she never followed up, waiting for ME to do something.
Er... Impus Major is now 18 and an adult. Heck if I'm going to tell him to do ANYTHING for you.
But this general trend of, "I want your child to do this responsible thing for me, and I want YOU to organize it, manage it, and make them do it," is just beyond me.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The best I can fathom is there's an expectation of "I got your approval, so you can go tell your kids and they have to do it because you the parent told them to". Or something similar.
In any case I'm sure there's a huge dose of "less work for me to do" involved.

Please inform Ms. Hermione of my extreme disappointment in her for injuring her brother in such a way on my birthday. This is not what my birthday is for.

Happy (belated?) Birthday Free Hold!
Son's last day of school for Christmas break was friday, he had friends over.,
We the 'responsible adults' had to wait for the 16-ish boys to be picked up on Saturday so we could go Christmas shopping,
No. We had not started yet. We work for a living. ;P
At 1:30pm, we determined that we had waited long enough, told the 20-year old daughter, home from college for Christmas break, that she was 'in charge' (very Phineus & Ferb-esque, I'll admit) and went Christmas shopping.
We got home at just prior to midnight. Many dollars poorer. Possibly the longest, straight-no-breaks-shopping run I have ever done.
Old wizzies feet hurt. Almost as much as his pocketbook.
Oh yeah, I bought Pathfinder:Kingmaker last week (or so?) when it was on sale at GOG.
Yes. I have not stopped playing it yet. I am only a portion into chapter 2. I have a TEENSY bit of retentiveness when it comes to completing video games quests.
:(
Aged Wizzie is sleeping IN tomorrow! (We go to church on Sunday afternoon, so it's cool) ;P

Kingmaker was my first AP, I went into Pegasus Games and asked "Do you have any adventures for dungeons and dragons for first level characters" the guy recommended Stolen Lands as it was just released.
Within two weeks I'd flipped my entire D&D collection for Pathfinder Chronicles, CRB, Bestiary, and several campaign setting books.
Twas one of my best decisions!

With the release of the Character Operations Manual you can now make every major character from Futurama except Kiff (still no Grippli in Starfinder, how is that possible!).

So, I keep praising this generation as the generation that's going to fix everything. (And CY, you can tell Crookshanks I said that, and I have high expectations of her.)
Yesterday, Impus Major threw a party in our house, with no fewer than 15 teenagers coming over, eating, playing games, and generally making merry. I heard screaming, and crashing, and wrestling, and I let it all go...
This morning:
- All of the furniture is intact
- All of the garbage was properly sorted into garbage, recycling, and green waste and properly disposed of
- All of the furniture was back in place
The *only* way you could tell we'd had people over was a single Coke can and bag of cheesy poofs that had gone unnoticed behind the cuddler.
17 teenagers. Nothing broken. No mess. Everything put away.
Yeah, eat THAT, all previous generations!

Unfortunately, in our area Crookshanks is a ray of light in a sea of shit and entitlement, all the kids in her class are, to put it nicely, self absorbed inconsiderate entitled a%@%%+#s.
Tiny T-Rex and his class are the hope for the future in the Midwest, which is unsurprising because the Midwest is always 5-15 years behind the west coast.
Edit: the plus side is, since we've always kept up with the west coast we're always ahead of the curve. :-)

Well, a tiny little Christmas miracle has occurred. I actually stood up for myself with the mother-in-law. After she and I had spent almost an hour last month discussing plans for Christmas and making agreements, two days ago she texted me to try to change Christmas dinner to her house. And when I texted her back to say that's not what we had discussed but I'm willing to talk about it, I didn't hear from her at all for over 24 hours. So I get WW to try to talk to her and she ignored him for almost the same amount of time.
And I calmly explained to WW why (especially after Thanksgiving) I didn't really trust her to make Christmas dinner and it didn't make any sense for her to come over to our house for stockings and breakfast and then for us all to get into our cars and drive all the way back to her house for dinner. And her planning on making dinner would mean I would need to buy supplies for a Christmas dinner and have them on hand in our fridge anyway just in case a last-minute migraine occurred with her. And so he phoned her and got her to agree to drop her idea of hosting and keep it at our place.

The fun part of that is, this last spring the boss sent us to a seminar on ground breaking building techniques and it was all stuff we were doing when building in Seattle (basically just using rock and rock chips instead of gravel and sand) so it was like being Fry when they show him video games in the future, I'm all "gee, brand new techniques, huh? Wow, I've never seen that before!".
