Rpgsr4me's Ravenous, Roaring, Raging Rampage of Random Banter #134

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Just wrote 3 pages on just half of the Wendish Crusade. I feel awesome. Heading to bed now. Don't know why I feel the need to tell you all this.

[Phase]

Anyways, thought you all might like this video, so I'll just leave it here.

So... Much... Win...

So I think I did well on my test. Not too good, not too bad. Anyway, tomorrow is community service day, so hold onto you tights, kiddies, it's gonna be a giving ride!

[Rutskarn]

It occurs to me, through a haze of frustration and fatigue, half-blind from staring at a word processor and driven mad by reading the same passage over and over, that Jane Austen is simply not dead enough.

If I could find a way to, like, double kill her. That would take the edge off.

I'd rather do that with Melville. In my honest opinion, Moby **** tops the list of 'Books read in school that eat your life'.

[AshDesert]

Visited the blog. Too obvious on my plug?

Anyways, thought you all might like this video, so I'll just leave it here.

That was amazing. That's one of those things that just has the power to make a bad day good and a good day great. It's impossible to outgrow the Muppets, they will always be awesome.

Yeah, just a bit. ^^;

As for the video...wow. Just, wow.

I was wondering how they were going to cover some of the more erm...mature parts of that song...but they did it with aplomb. Huh...you hardly ever see the word "aplomb" used these days....kinda strange that word, huh?

And of course, the end was just...it made me grin so much.

[Coidzor]

What genre/school do those two get lumped in with?

Jane Austen a Romantic? Melville a Gothic Romantic?

[Alarra]

*giggle*

EDIT: must make post longer..... thinkthinkthink... aha! Who here likes Pooh Bear!?
my favorite Winnie the Pooh movie would have to be Pooh's Grand Adventure; the search for Christopher Robin.

I love Pooh Bear. Have you seen my baby's room? It's all pooh.

[Coidzor]

I love Pooh Bear. Have you seen my baby's room? It's all pooh.

I don't think any of us have seen your baby's room. Nor do I think we particularly want to see it covered in poop.

Speaking of things shaped like feces though...

What was that one candy bar Mr Mud was always going on about?

[Alarra]

Winnie the Pooh, silly
And why would you say none of you have seen my baby's room? There was a thread, in said thread, there were pictures, plus there are plenty of playgrounders who have actually been in my baby's room, so nyah...
here's some pictures of said room for those that haven't though:

How about intensely dull "classics" that have millimeter-deep themes and flow like a piano cast down a flight of stairs?

[Alteran]

Teaching your baby misspelled words, right from the beginning? For shame, Alarra.

Winnie the Pooh was one of my favourite series as a kid. I remember in particular an old book from the ~1960s, that my dad had when he was a kid. It was full of Winnie the Pooh stories, and others by the same author. I should go find that book again sometime...

[cycoris]

Really, I'd be happy with any kind of mythical beast. Dragon, pheonix, basilisk, anything like that would be fine. Although if I had to pick one, I'd pick a narwhal. They're basically sea unicorns, so I think it's clear that they're the best possible Christmas gift.

Or if that's infeasible, eternal life would be okay. I guess.

Hmmm... I'll get back to you on that one, okay?

While you're waiting, have some snuggles and hot chocolate.

I'm tired and worn out.

Schizophrenic people are just exhausting.

Hot chocolate and a comfy bed for you too. No, not my bed, silly. Now get your mind out of the gutter! The Auntie Goddess ITP commands it, and will give you stern, faintly threatening looks until you do.

[Zeb The Troll]

So. Zeb's WAY behind the times as far as PC games go. A couple of days ago I started playing Assassin's Creed for the first time. I'm not that far into it, but I'm having a good time. Now, if only I could get it straight in my head which button is 'walk' and which is 'blend' and stop letting off the wrong one when I'm trying to just stop walking in a hot zone, I'd be doing a lot less running through alleys.

[Jibar]

Heh, try playing the PC Assassin's Creed on a Wii Classic Controller with the controls assigned randomly.
That was an interesting afternoon...


Desert Bus are doing my favourite Disney song, Part of Your World, yaaaaaaaay.

[Boo]

I remember when Street Sharks was on. That was a terribly awesome show.

[Hannes]

Winnie the Pooh, silly

I hope your child doesn't get PoohtheBear-phobia from having to look at it in the dark for the next 4 years.

(it was a joke, damnit! a joke! laugh!)

Desert Bus is INSANE. Those guys are going to be bussing it for a week at this rate.

[Gitman00]

How about intensely dull "classics" that have millimeter-deep themes and flow like a piano cast down a flight of stairs?

Well, to be fair, the brilliance of Jane Austen's work wasn't the plot, but the witty dialogue and incisive social commentary, much of which is irrelevant in the 21st century.

Edit: Oh, and I'm back from Korea.

[Dogmantra]

Desert Bus is INSANE. Those guys are going to be bussing it for a week at this rate.

I did a 24 hour marathon with three friends. By the end of our two hours shifts, we were sort of convinced that the yellow lines down the middle were little yellow men who were coming to get us. Yeah... I never want to play it ever again.

[Coidzor]

How about intensely dull "classics" that have millimeter-deep themes and flow like a piano cast down a flight of stairs?

And the piano'd be more entertaining for longer... Well, at least if you got to poke it afterwards.

But yeah, that works.

[Zeb The Troll]

Edit: Oh, and I'm back from Korea.

Gitman! Good to see you back in these parts. Hope your tour wasn't too exciting.

Zombie Austen attack? Would that help? Gets out the rage and is socially acceptable!

I've got this 'university' down now I think, I even have a (semi-)clean room. Pretty great.

@Gwyn Chan blah blah blah: I shall try and find them, they sound interesting. I thoroughly recommend Mogwai, but you need to find time to listen to each album all the way through, it doesn't really work when split up.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Anyways, thought you all might like this video, so I'll just leave it here.

. . . Epic and fantastic.

@Gitman: welcome back! I missed you.

How to Exhaust A Curly

1. Take one essay with only 71 words written the day before it is due in.
Add one rehearsal that starts at five o'clock in the afternoon and finishes at midnight.
2. Add one Curly who has 641 words done by the time she gets home from said rehearsal.
3. Add three and a half frantic hours of typing that leave her with a 3 370 word essay.
4. Mix in a little insomnia resulting in her falling asleep at five a.m - four an a half hours before her tutorial.

5. Then take a bill payment (always stressful) and mix with two hours of laundry and reading for a class at four.
6. Add a snatched lunch before going on a two hour shopping trip for booze.
7. Take two dozen bottles of beer, a dozen bottles each of white and red wine; eight litres of juice and one hundred and sixty six cups; put into bags, divide into three of carry to storage place.
8. Allow an hour and a half to rest.
9. Take a class at ten past three, followed immediately by another hour long class and stir until thoroughly exhausted.

10. For the piece de resistance, allow ninety minutes for showering, dressing and carry drinks over to venue before warmup for performance.
11. Perform for two and a half odd hours; add an after-show first night cast part and repeat steps 4, 9, 10 and 11 daily for four additional days.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 once more. And on the final repetition of parts 4, 9-11 add in one extra two hour rehearsal for a choir performance in one week.
The day after that another choir rehearsal, and the same for Monday and Wednesday. Make allowances for the friends who'll be coming up or down to see oneself in either performance.

Plus an essay.

Here endeth the recipe of exhaustion.

EDIT:
@Rutskarn: RAGE! Jane Austen is a really good writer. Will explain why later, perhaps, but now it's off to step 9 of the Recipe To Exhaust A Curly.

Yikes that would be exhausting. Over what period of time is this?

[Thufir]

Yikes that would be exhausting. Over what period of time is this?

I thought that was clear from her description. Rehearsal from 5 'til midnight yesterday, everything else today. Then repetitions.

After first night party seems an odd idea to me. I mean, we tend to go out for a drink or two each night of the performance, but the actual after show party is only for the last night. Don't want to be knackered and hungover on stage (Drunk, now, drunk is another matter...)

Oh right, I must have missed that.

[Dogmantra]

How to Exhaust A Curly

Yet you still somehow have time to write this?

I'm not even going to ask.

[Dr. Bath]

She wasn't at her computer when this was typed, she was at a rehersal... it... typed itself.

The only logical explaination for her having the spare time to type it.
