Every time I hear of that dish, I think of all the trouble it takes to find out how to make it in New Vegas >.>

Napped for a few hours in the afternoon and now I have a headache. Well, for accuracy I had it before I went to nap but it was weaker.

Ouch! I hope it goes away.

Ouch! Why standing so much?

Too bad about the whole military dictatorship thing going on at the same time.

While it was bad it was relatively mild military dictatorship. Especially when comparing to killing sprees of 1945-1956 Stalinist regime.

The Great Purge in the 1930s was also bad. Part of why the Allies were so leery of the Soviet Union, I think.

True. But Poland hadn't Stalinist regime at that time. So they did purge after war when they gained power while, in Soviet Union, after the war there were much less purges.

Warehouse work. Lots of standing in front of a rack and wondering where that damned box no. ABC1234567 went...

So...my daughter's previous, casual mention of her sexuality (by talking about a girl she has a crush on) didn't really faze me, but today's casual mention of going to the prom (by telling me about the dress she bought for it) did.
Sounds like she's growing up! I hope that she has a nice partner for that.

Thanks.

I think that's what caught me off guard about the prom mention. She is growing up, and she'll be out of the house before I know it. It wasn't too bad when my son went to college, because he was such a homebody growing up, I was happy for him to move on with his life. He also goes to college nearby, while my daughter intends to go to school far away (not from us, per se, but definitely away from North Carolina).

The dress is too gorgeous/too terrible for the father to stomach?

It's a lovely dress, and she has a jacket to go with it.

The boots complete the outfit, though. :)

That moment when the father says "my little princess" and the mother smiles/laughs/giggles and pats the father on the back.

Haven't you made one recently? Or is that how fast the time is running?

I made it for John's birthday in May.


May? Uh...


Yay! Torchlight requires no installation... Oh, three hours passed before I even could notice.


Note to self: Never mention a conversation about hydrogen explosions to a military friend who specialized in explosives. I don't think I will ever feel safe in my own kitchen at any point before my demise now.

I bet she'll do well in life. And, I am sorry it is so close to her leaving home. They are always missed when they leave home... the quiet from their absence takes some adjustment.

Is it good?

Yes, as long as one want Diablo-clone action-rpg with cartoon graphic (made by some of the Diablo's designers) with minimalistic but good plot. I would advise looking through screenshots before buying it, though, because graphics might not be appealing to everyone.

I hope I will be able to get Torchlight 2 sometime in the future when I get some money in PayPal.


I might be positively biased in favor of Torchlight, though, because I like Diablo and related games. I also got Torchlight for free during one of GOG's giveaways.

This is the game I'm currently playing. Graphics don't necessarily have to be that good ;)

It's less matter of quality of graphics and more of the chosen style.

Meh. Torchlight 2 isn't on GOG yet :/


Installer for Torchlight 2 takes 1.4 GB. Nope. Not until I get back home and have normal connection again...

I can't laugh about this, because I remember that particular hell all to clearly.


Style looks like an improved version of some of the animations of Warcraft 3. Not a problem for me ^^

Seriously dude, call me, I'll come over and shovel. LOVE to shovel.

goood uhm, midday FaWtL,

yesterday Marlon met a bunch of our friends and their children for the first time.

he, of course did not react much but the 3-5 year old girls where quite fascinated, even the 1 year old girl was facinated, looked a lot at him and even caressed his hand carefully

tonight he did not want to sleep at all, I went with him to the couch, he did not close his eyes while I watched 2 episodes of NCIS and one of Inspector Barnaby and Inspector Linley (sp?)
he fell to sleep at 5 in the morning :-/

I had BG and BG2 when they first came out, but I grabbed them the last time GOG had them on sale (and they're on sale again for $1.99 each). I installed them both, then ran the EasyTutu utility to upgrade the graphics and engine (including class & race options) on BG to BG2.

Sounds like he's got his days and nights a little mixed up. You have my sympathies.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy Sunday! It's looking to be a nice day here in Houston.

Scarab Sages

Yesterday, I used the Best Buy gift card my wife and kids for St. Valentine's Day to buy The Jungle Book Diamond Edition and Jurassic Park. The boy and I watched Jungle Book. Later, once everyone was asleep but Katie, I watched X-Men First Class. Sadly, this kept me up past midnight.

I say sadly, because the boy then had me up at 0600.

Scarab Sages

But that's what coffee is for.

Scarab Sages

And there have been biscuits this morning. So there's that.

Incidentally, the reason the boy was up so early, per his own story, is because there was a snake in his bed and monkeys in the playroom.

Scarab Sages

And, of course, the ever present ghosts were bothering him.

Scarab Sages

Charlie has just stated that when he and I go to Walmart, his mother must stay here. His reason: because she tricked him.

How she tricked him, or about what, he won't say.

I was thinking that I'd need a U-haul to move stuff over to the new house when we're ready to go. However, last night I spoke with my older brother and he stated he had a truck at his work they would let him use and we could move the big stuff in that.

Scarab Sages

What excites me most about new house is that I can do stuff to it. Change things around, paint, hang stuff up.....

All without worrying about how to fix it before I move out.

Scarab Sages

All right folks! I'm done for now. Time to go get myself cleaned up and ready to face the day.


I don't remember certain Badger mentioning that his daughter is not only growing an adult but also going to write for Christina Stills new book. Or maybe I missed it?

He's got the girls crazy for him already. EXCELLENT.

That's how I play BG!!! I love BG TUTU!

I'm going the lots of XP route, so I'm trying to get Imoen to her next level so she can cast cloudkill on the demon in that town and kill everyone

Gah. New laptop ate a lots of data allowance for this month. 770 MBs remaining. For 12 days. Usually 100 MBs go for a day. Not good as price for each additional MB is quite steep. Hopefully work will prevent me from using up too much internet.
