House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197

[Elemental]

Seven is far too early, and you know it.

Er... Hrm... My wardrobe mostly consists of four colours, so... >.>

Yeah, but I'd like to get up at that time. That way I won't start thinking of myself as some kind of layabout.

One only needs four colours after all. White, black, grey and blue are more than enough. Though I have more green than grey... I must remedy this situation.


In semi-related news: I have listened to your album and must say that I really like the acoustic piece. It's quite relaxing, but not completely calm either. So, relaxing but with a bit of energy?
Makes me feel bad for never learning to play guitar though. Now you've made me want to buy one and take it up again... The world conspires to force me to have more hobbies!And for some reason it reminds me of either Dwarf Fortress or Diablo... Not sure why.

According to Wikipedia, the oldest recorded version is still nearly identical to the contemporary one. At least in the final line...

Yeah, that's the beauty of it. To take another example, a slightly tweaked version of the 'Æ' is a chest or a backpack, seen diagonally from the side with the upper half being the lid.

And yeah, I thought about that too, except you usually don't coat cheese wedges in wax, but rather the whole wheel...

Well, the last line kind of works from the English perspective if one remembers that it is a song as well, and not every sound is of the same length. Had I some sort of convenient score writing software available, I'd write it down and show you what I mean. But alas, I do not. Note to self; Acquire such software...

That ones a bit more difficult to see, but I can kind of.

A wedge cut from such cheese retain the wax coating on the outer edge until it is removed. I would say it was a choice to avoid using colours that are harder to differentiate, but that game uses cyan, yellow and numerous shades of a lot of colours.
Though admittedly... Some kinds of cheese are reddish...

Easy. Turn that non-existent money of yours into real money. Can't be that hard.

I value imagination and how we people use it, and the thing with the ASCII is that I can use my imagination nearly to the fullest extent. It also lets me focus more on the technical side of the game, which in my opinion is amazing.

Oh! This just means that I have to give you a massage!

If that were easy, I'd be visiting you all in my zeppelin such that we may listen to Liszt on an antique gramophone and talk of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.
Truly, Lewis Carroll is among the greatest people ever.

Imagination is indeed important in all things. For instance, I do so often try to envision what my SimCities would look like if one could look at their skyline rather than the game's isometric perspective.

I'm not sure whether or not a massage would have any effect. I've always found attack to sooth rebellious muscles. Or if not sooth, force them to recognise my sovereignty as the one in charge of most of the electric impulses.


Now, as part of my plan to teach my sleep schedules who is supreme overlord and master, I'm going to go upstairs and read before bed.
Goodnight everyone! Remember, in the event of an unscheduled apocalypse, exits are located to your left and behind you to the right.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Hmm... If you still want to teach, you could try to get the qualifications to teach another subject... That way you'd manage to get into the education system and possibly move into the arts. But I don't know if that would work particularly well.

Well, there's two problems with that -

1. I'd have to go back to school and go through another program to do so. I'm certified K -12 for Art, which is different from most subjects where you'd get certified for a smaller range of age. I'm crushed under the debt of my first bout of college, so I can't really afford to do that again. Even in small increments, I just don't get in enough money to be able to afford ANY classes. Even if it was just one a semester.

2. Even if I did get a further certification, I know many who have tried that route to get "in" and have never escaped that role to go on to teach their intended subject. Art is a program that continually is getting cut, so its a mindset thing for schools. Which makes me go: Art is such a fundimental! Why is this happening!?

It's a similar joy to reading books, I think; I like to read the forms, then fill it out with style. (By "style," I mean add lots of exclamation marks.)

Example:

Name: TaiLiu!?
Age: Twenty-three?
Occupation: Socially unacceptable!!

I admit, I laughed pretty hard reading this.

Perhaps. I read for knowledge, and pleasure. You?

General curiosity, really. Hm. My enjoyment for filling out forms is similar to my dislike of music, it seems, in that people find both irrational.

Like...all music? Like you'd prefer a movie to not have music rather than have a score? Or rather, most genres don't appeal to you? Or just a straight - music bad. Silence - good.

[EmeraldRose]

*snip*
Word. Instant coffee is a travesty. In fact, I'd advise everyone to develop their own coffee ritual, simply to enjoy the experience more. Coffee-drinking should be me-time.

*shudders*
No worries. I refuse to drink instant coffee. I will relent and force myself to take coffee time seriously. I suppose I don't really need to melt all the tastebuds off my tongue anyway...

[FinnLassie]

If that were easy, I'd be visiting you all in my zeppelin such that we may listen to Liszt on an antique gramophone and talk of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings, and why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.

I'm not sure whether or not a massage would have any effect. I've always found attack to sooth rebellious muscles. Or if not sooth, force them to recognise my sovereignty as the one in charge of most of the electric impulses.

Oh, believe me, if you visit the masseur I went to, you'd feel very attacked. I basically have rock solid shoulders that need some serious whacking (thanks to doctors neglecting the issue for ages), gentle rubs can't do a thing. I also enjoy lying down on an acupressure spike mat, but they're honestly just for temporary, immediate relief - nothing that can fix things for as long as a massage does. I get a massage every 4 to 6 weeks and it's coolbeans.

Have a good night!

Lucifer is a damn bureaucrat. I've had enough of this "fill out stuff" nonsense; they should have all of my information already, from all the other forms I've filled out. *explodes*

Screw it, I'll do all that crap after I get up. Too much trouble to do it now.

Seven? I like to get up around a quarter past six.

[Amidus Drexel]

It's a similar joy to reading books, I think; I like to read the forms, then fill it out with style. (By "style," I mean add lots of exclamation marks.)

Really? This is such a great honour!

You and I have had very different experiences reading books, then, because I've never read 20 books that wanted my name, phone, address, and major.

It's odd, really, that I have that level of trust for someone I've never met... You just strike me as the sort of person that kind information would be safe with. You're probably wholly unique in that regard... Hrm... odd.

Easy. Turn that non-existent money of yours into real money. Can't be that hard.

I love to use them too... or, would love to, if they were as good as my old headphones... *narrows eyes*

And so say all the people that haven't experienced the awesomeness of a nightless night.

Why did I even attempt to expect anything further from you?

You'd be surprised. I've been trying for a while, admittedly sometimes half-heartedly.

My old headphones are held together by masking tape, and the cord has a short in it, so... I mean, they're still really good headphones, but... they'd be easily surpassed by a good new pair.

Oh, like I'd know the difference. I'd have to go outside for that.

Yeah, but I'd like to get up at that time. That way I won't start thinking of myself as some kind of layabout.

One only needs four colours after all. White, black, grey and blue are more than enough. Though I have more green than grey... I must remedy this situation.

I like it being closeish to midday when I get up. 8 is as early as I like to get up, 9 is the normal time, 10 is when I want to sleep in, and 11 is if I accidentally turn the alarm off. Like today, for example.

True, I suppose. I've got a handful of dark green shirts that I like, though.

*bows, perhaps akin to a cello* I could teach you how to play it, if you wanted... granted, that'd be easier to do if you already knew how to play guitar... it's fairly simple.

Like...all music? Like you'd prefer a movie to not have music rather than have a score? Or rather, most genres don't appeal to you? Or just a straight - music bad. Silence - good.

Yeah, he just doesn't really like music at all.

Seven? I like to get up around a quarter past six.

Are'nt you so excited? Yay!

Also, I wish this was real. It's awesome. A t-shirt design.

You got up a full hour after I went to sleep!

I would be... if I didn't suddenly have more work to do.

[Kneenibble]

EDIT: Ah hey Kneenibble! You sorta messaged while I was writing. ^^ Yep I know of them, though my knowledge of birds is lacking. *laughs* No nibbling I'm too ticklish! *flees*

Just as FinnLassie will scribble on your face, or poke you with long slender objects such as beech branches, becs-de-corbin, baguettes, or paint brushes -- so too I will nibble you about the ears and the eyebrows. It is simply what is done. *divebombs and nibbles*

KNEEBS!

I am still waiting for you to fly in the window! ;_;

;___; I got lost on the way, and had to turn back. I'm so sorry. This world is a dangerous place for such a little fluffster as I.

I sent your, my, and Teddy's drawings from the other day to my sister last night, who also loves budgies. I am still awaiting her squee.

I just really, really dislike wine. Bleuch. I need to rinse that taste off with a good pale ale.

Oh, wonderful! Delightful! Exquisite!
*falls in trance gnaws carrots* Mmh... would go well with a bit of teddy bear...

That's okay! More for me. I don't claim to understand not liking wine, but I can respect it.

Excellent... she took the bait. *takes advantage of the carrot trance to tangle up a big fluffy nest in FinnLassie's golden hair*

Gasp! AUGH BOOZE, and SUPER GASP WHAT?

Draw Your Friends! In the Arts & Crafts area. Well, "Draw" can be any arts. It's quite an enjoyable exchange. Mr. August even composed some music for me the time before last.

I wanna play Dwarf Fortress... (Also:Those other things.)
*swills and drinks all the wine*

That is not the giggle I imagine of Knee lying on his bed with the window open. It IS madhouse worthy, though.

Rather than "my girlfriend says things", I say YAY CARROTS. *looks at them*

Dwarf Fortress is free! You could play it right now! You could become thick and giddy with wine, and be forging platinum statues before a teatime of bacon-wrapped water chestnuts and cheese cubes and fresh figs and hot roasted almonds and purple carrots!

Tee hee hee.

While I am appreciative to Devmartian's girlfriend for her sentiment, I am appreciative to you as well for yours. KEEP LOOOOOOOOKING *waits for the carrot trance to set in, for reasons*

I am the bass-man, except in the acoustic-only song, where I play the guitfiddle, aye. I sing some, yes. Rafiki does also, and both Robin and Logan sang briefly.

*bows, perhaps akin to a viola* Thank you, sir.

Ooh, cool. Interesting colours... what variety are they? Do they taste different than the normal orange ones?

In Hyser? Wow, beautiful playing.

They don't taste wildly different, but slightly. The yellow ones, Yellowstone, have less earthy and more clear taste. The purple ones, Cosmic Purple, are actually not a true purple carrot -- only the outer skin is red, the insides are orange. They are a really nice carrot but they taste just like any other good orange carrot. Then the orange ones are either Scarlet Nantes or Yaya -- I forget which seeds I actually planted.

I couldn't get seeds for true purple carrots this year, but I'm going to try next year. Also white carrots. And one day I hope to grow the red carrots of Punjab. All the carrots.

Gameplay mechanics and Fun come first. Graphics come second. Okay, but as a composer aiming to get involved with game soundtracks, I do think DF is lacking on the sound front.

The little music it has is the perfect mood for me, but it drives me completely crazy to listen to it for the hours that a good DF session takes. Do you have any particular idea what music to make for it?

I would want a very mellow brass quartet, I think, without other instruments.

They're more colour than my entire wardrobe! Green, red, orange and yellow? Four whole colours?! I jest, but not by much. I just like sedate colours too much.

Well nobody is asking you to wear the carrots, mi Elementalis. Although I could give you one to tie on your belt -- that is coming back into fashion.

But that aside, I am very impressed by your harvest. Our every attempt to grow carrots fails miserably despite the apparent vitality of the plants in question. And Mum keeps serving frozen carrots, which are of course entirely lacking in quality. I do understand that she doesn't have the time or energy to prepare carrots on every occasion, but it is depressing when I find one of the few vegetables I actually enjoy to be too disgusting to eat. Maybe I should just prepare my own salads and things...
Anyway... Carrots should ideally be served raw in my mind.

Frozen vegetables. I'm not sure that should be a thing. With commercial-grade carrots, they are not always good for eating raw: but when you pull a tender, crunchy, candy-sweet carrot out of the garden, it seems silly to think about cooking it. Even knowing that it makes its nutrients hugely more digestible.

Can you tell me what happens to your carrots when you try to grow them? I know you've told me before -- was it that the foliage grows fine, but no root develops? I might be able to advise you. What kind of soil do you have over there?

Oh my, how grand. I hope it was most flavourful.

Word. Instant coffee is a travesty. In fact, I'd advise everyone to develop their own coffee ritual, simply to enjoy the experience more. Coffee-drinking should be me-time.

It was indeed. It was a lovely rich Pinotage with dark red fruit and honey flavours. I've never been disappointed by a South African wine.

Yes! That ritual and that stopping-to-think moment is what turns the caffeine buzz into a sublime bliss. A quick cup slurped down in a rush will stimulate, but it will not transcend.

I value imagination and how we people use it, and the thing with the ASCII is that I can use my imagination nearly to the fullest extent. It also lets me focus more on the technical side of the game, which in my opinion is amazing.

Yes, to add to this discussion, I am astounded at the way the imagination works after getting absorbed into a good Dwarf Fortress session. I start to see detail that isn't there, and hear sounds -- the roar of the waterfall I built in my dining room and the mist-wet beards of the dwarves who stand nearby to admire it. That is why I don't use a texture pack: because the poverty of the graphics, combined with the game's bogglingly intricate mechanics, works such a freaky magic on the mind.

The creator is a mad genius.

This one is the best.

Strictly speaking, Umami Daikon, ginger is a rhizome, not a root. But you're right -- the competition is fierce for best nibbling root. I would take the yieldingly explosively sweet crunch of a frost-nipped carrot picked in September over any of those, however, any day. I cannot give you sassafras or ginger, to my shame, but should you visit these northron estates I can provide you with radishes, potatoes, and carrots all in abundance.

Draw Your Friends! In the Arts & Crafts area. Well, "Draw" can be any arts. It's quite an enjoyable exchange. Mr. August even composed some music for me the time before last.

Dwarf Fortress is free! You could play it right now! You could become thick and giddy with wine, and be forging platinum statues before a teatime of bacon-wrapped water chestnuts and cheese cubes and fresh figs and hot roasted almonds and purple carrots!

Ohhh. This Sunday is when they will be posted? :? *keeps watch*

*drools*. Food... Dwarf Fortress is much too much for me though, I would be overwhelmed!

That's a quieter Knee-sister giggle, but yes. Much closer.

*falls into trance, brain melds with Finn's causing a severe shock to both and sudden understanding of sauna*

Thanks Knee.

Dimonite: Daddy-Card looks on with barely hidden disapproval. XD

That was amazing. I was going "KIRBY 64 CRYSTAL SHARDS" and then I ACTUALLY ENJOYED KON-WE.

Naaaah. I'm imagining all velociraptors as silly looking ostriches. Tyranisaurs are budgies.

Good Hes OK and still able to walk, but
