Re: House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197
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.
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...
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.Last edited by Elemental; 2013-08-02 at 10:09 PM.

Re: House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197
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!?
I admit, I laughed pretty hard reading this.

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

I love how you're live blogging this bird's life. I approve.
Also! I found a glitch in Super Mario World that I've never heard of before! If you are eating a wriggler with Yoshi, and are moving forward enough to hit it's body before it disappears, you get hurt as if you're not on Yoshi!

Re: House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, he just doesn't really like music at all.
You got up a full hour after I went to sleep!
I would be... if I didn't suddenly have more work to do.

Daaaaaw! SILLY BIRDIE.
Indeed. Thank you, Dimonite. (And sarcastic thank you for making me remember Facebook is probably a whole bunch of people who didn't remember but Facebook told them so they spent 8 seconds posting happy birthday on my wall and I have to respond SOMEHOW.:smallsigh; Nah, my cynicism ain't that deep.

Re: House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197
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*
;___; 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...
Excellent... she took the bait. *takes advantage of the carrot trance to tangle up a big fluffy nest in FinnLassie's golden hair*
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*
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*
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
*gasp* That is Andre?!?!?! Who is Andre?!?!?!?! Look at that fluff!
Baby birds are both endearing and horrifying to me. They seem unfinished, with no proper barrier between Inside and Outside the body.
Also, isn't this Mutant's birthday?
If I'm right, happy birthday, Mutant!
If I'm wrong, happy late/early birthday, Mutant!
Here is a cake for you.

Re: House of Much Random Banter and Haluesen's Various Wondrous Cookies #197
Heh, you know, I never say happy birthday to people on facebook. If I see them in person, they'll get a reminder from me that they're older.
Huh... well, I might actually be able to participate in that, then... Hrm...
I'm flattered.
You say that, but you didn't get to hear the hour worth of takes (well, about 7 or 8 takes, but it took a while)... and we had to use my crappy guitar with it's ancient strings because the action on Rafiki's was too low... (and he has such beautiful sounding strings, too...)
Ah, okay. Hrm...
Heheheheh I think carrots are probably one of my least favorite roots... not because I don't like them, but they've got some steep competition. Radishes, potatoes, ginger, sassafras... It's hard to beat those.

Hm. If you can't get a job in a public school, have you tried getting one in a private institution?
Excellent. You'll be filling out your forms like that from now on, right?
It's more of a "silence - good" more than "music - bad," really.
Oh, my. It looks quite frightening now.

He also made an avatar to go along with it, but as the nature of submissions is open-ended, Shirley you could go in with music alone. Like a character in an adventure. ALL YOU NEED IS YOUR MUSIC, AMIDIUS! LEAVE YOUR WEAPONS BEHIND.
