Dallas-Dakota's Dastardly and Devious Dancing Debate of Random Banter #198

[TheWombatOfDoom]

That's sad to hear, although I suppose it was expected. How are you taking it?

*hugs*, if you accept them.

I heartily accept hugs! *embraces* While it was somewhat expected, it's still rather hard. She was my last grandmother, and a good woman. 91 years old.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Our country has a lot of water, and thus a lot of rivers.

Eventually some of our busdrivers became a bit...odd.

I will explain to you with a picture I took yesterday.

ION: An update on my grandmother - I got a call last night from my father that she passed away. The world lost a wonderful woman today. Thank you for your well wishes, Elemental and Tailiu.

My condolonces, good sir Wombat.

ION: flooded streets here in Rochester have delayed my moving back to Winona for an unknown period of time.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear about your delay! Hopefully nothing of yours was damaged in the excess water?

*amphibus*

Hehehe, I can't get rid of the mental image of the bus driver sporadically repeating the pharse "Nothing strange at all!" with this voice* all the way through the tour.

*One of the best intermissions from Melodifestivalen, parodically following a day of the opera singer Malena Ernman, with her catchphrase being "Inget konstigt alls!", or "Nothing strange at all!" in English.

So far, no, although a bit of it got into our basement, as is wont to happen when you live at the bottom of one hill and the middle of another. I'm mostly just miffed at the time spent not hanging out with my friends and/or getting to know my roommate.

[Feytalist]

Well, that bus does have "Splashtours" on its side... so you can understand the driver's confusion

[LaZodiac]

A fine salad indeed. The dressing? Caramel.

ION: An update on my grandmother - I got a call last night from my father that she passed away. The world lost a wonderful woman today. Thank you for your well wishes, Elemental and Tailiu.

You've got my sympathies man. At least you had her for a long time, and thus had a ton of amazing memories.

Sympathy, sir.
Me, too, which is the reason I haven't been in the mood to stop by these parts since Monday. Getting better, pokemon is helping.

My sympathies as well, then. Shooting zombies and skyrim for me.

[enderlord99]

Did you mean "shooting (zombies and Skyrim)" or "(shooting zombies) and Skyrim?"

[TheWombatOfDoom]

The later. I still have yet to beat Resident Evil 5, so I had a friend over and we got through some of it.

[LaZodiac]

Good luck! How far are you?

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Good luck! How far are you?

Skyrim it's my first playthrough, and am enjoying exploring rather than main story line. I''m currently level....25ish?

Resident evil 5 I'm just passed the swamp and oil depot, and now am being chased while on boat, by zombie-tribal-alien-things.

Ahh, okay. Also they aren't aliens, though I can see why you'd think as such. The idea is that they're some kind of horrifying parasite thing. Natural creature mutated by SCIENCE.

[Haluesen]

And then there's the reaction when there's no cookies, aye?

(this literally just popped up on my tumblr. what timing!)

Hah, this is saved! I need to show all of my friends this reaction.

That is the only sensible reaction.

Seriously, I know it's childish, but them changing cookie monster to sing "Cookie is a sometimes food" is one of the most insulting things I've ever seen =/

No, it is not childish. It is right to feel indignant annoyance or a similar emotion at them changing such a great character.

Hello'd? Make what? Good thing you feel better! And those eggs, are they for your drawing class?

Yeah Dallas, who I just met yesterday, wrote something back to me which feels like hello. And by the way, hello! And make more cookies (on Photoshop or Illustrator) to post here for everyone! I do feel much better. Talking with my girlfriend and owning the Mojave in Fallout helped much. Not that others here didn't help too, of course! Especially you, thanks Teddy.

Lastly yes, the drawing of eggs is for class. I'll post the picture later today to show everyone.

Aww I'm sorry for the loss of someone very wonderful who was close to your heart. *joins hugs*

That's...that is just incredible. Thanks for showing us this.

The later. I still have yet to beat Resident Evil 5, so I had a friend over and we got through some of it.

I hope you very much enjoy both games. RE 5 is great, well I think so at least. The zombie killing is well done here.


ION: Hi everybody! Just reading school lesson stuff today. Finally caught up on sleep last night, so I feel pretty good. Planning to make taco burgers tonight. Who was it here who taught me of this great idea again? I owe much thanks. Other than that, preparing for this weekends D&D game. A jailbreak, some general roleplay, and exploration of a deep dark castle. That last one is being run by one of the players, training in DMness, and I shall be playing. The second dungeon she has made, and I am terrified. The first was near the end of our last campaign, and we had to try to tackle it 3 times due to repeated character deaths. And we have entered this castle once so far. Had to leave since our brawler was critted by a vicious man-eating plant. So this should be a fun weekend.

The later.

So, zombies that are shooting?:small tongue:

Ah, I see. My deepest condolences, comrade; I hope she had a good life.

I'm sorry, comrade. I hope you get better soon.

Oh, dear; that sounds painful. Are you healing?

I might be a bit too derpy at the moment to realise this might actually hurt in the morn!

Eek! I hope it doesn't!

[Dimonite]

Well, I may have had to move furniture around for half an hour in order to plug my computer in, but I am now officially moved in! Classes start Monday, and play auditions start two days after that. Fun times ahead!

All this sound like great fun indeed!

I learned a new "word" recently:

Liginamite

[Taet]

Hugs for TheWombatOfDoom and for LordDeathkeeper. I would have liked to hear stories about your grandmothers but if the video games are a good distraction please don't let me disturb you.

Today I went from place to place in search of food sales. Every place was at least half empty. Where did everyone go? It was not empty enough for a zombie attack but it was still strange.

Just after I posted this my mother called me and told me a story about my grandparents that I did not know. My grandfather kept and bred bettas but every baby betta that lived was female. My grandmother trained them to come to a bobby pin. It's strange but good to share a story about them when they died some years ago.

Indeed. Stories about one's ancestors are often lovely.

*looks around with hair all messed up and still wearing the dress from last night*

I... What...

Well, that was a good night then, I suppose.

[Feytalist]

Listening to a song I just got.

The song opens up with an amplified recording of a cat's purr. It's amazing what that sound does to you. I just slowly melted in my chair into a big, contented, relaxed puddle.


The song is Moonbow, from Finnish neofolk band Nest. I'll be raving about Nest a lot for a while. Nest is spine-tinglingly good.
