Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Well. Maybe putting my desk in the second room of the house with my back to the front door was a bad idea.
One of my friends burst in and about gave me a heart attack when he said hi.
Although it being 10:30 PM and me being about ready to simmer down for the evening might have had something to do with that.

You can buy it in a bundle with an electric guitar (an Epiphone Les Paul Junior) or use your own guitar.

I have thought about it. Actually.. LEARNING the instrument is a very big perk.
Wait, you can get a les Paul with it? Wha... Ok, how much is it?
Space Channel Five stars Ulala, the news reporter for Space Channel Five Swinging Report Show. The games also have a character called Space Micheal Jackson.
And in case you couldn't tell, yes, he is Space Micheal Jackson. Voiced by him too, if I recall.

Well, that's pretty neat.
Space Channel Five... that game always kind of disturbed me.

Not quite sure. Character design just doesn't sit right with me.

Suspicious poses, eh ?
No, seriously though, I've never seen a juggler in real life. All I know is that they have to be really dexteritous to do what they do, which is impressive.

If kilts impress you that much then you should check out the You thread.
This reminds me that I need to find that giant hamster wheel cirque du soleil thing.

Yes. Very... interesting ones.
LaLa, I am dragging you to a performance by Nanda. You will die of head-explodedness.

He studied psychology. Heh.

I should like that very much, mi Elementalis erudite. Two of my goals in life are to see wild budgies and kakapos, which makes a peregrination to your auspicious island and its neighbour an inevitability. & I would most certainly drop in on you and impose upon your hospitality.
By the by, when you mentioned months ago that you had those sweet potatoes growing perennially in your garden, I was inspired and started sprouting a sweet potato for an indoor plant. It's growing nicely now, and really quite attractive.
It would be no imposition I assure you. You seem to be someone who make an excellent guest.
Indeed. Sweet potato makes a very attractive plant. It makes a good ground cover.

[My house is over 100 years old, and the walls basically are two layers of wood stuffed inadequately with sawdust perched on a porous foundation of rocks. It's hard to imagine anything that retains heat less. ]
Mmm... Drinking chocolate... And I would have to say, I would never consider anything below zero to be mild. It does not get that cold here. Maybe overnight, but never during hours of daylight.
Try walls with no insulation. The only insulation in this house is in the ceiling against heat. High set on a concrete foundation with only the floor on which I am sitting separating the lower level from the upper level. Also, we have a whirlybird on our roof, the purpose of which is to draw warm air out of the house.
And now I feel like I'm bragging about the inability of my house to retain heat...

Evening now. And I am glad you like it. You may have it as an avatar if you so desire.
Fortunately, I do not believe we will be having drought this year, so the garden will indeed flourish under the rains of the Summer. Though some plants will decline with the heat as usual.

Those garden boxes are nearly two feet high.
Amazing. I see at once why the Ancient Greeks said that the Goddess Demeter covered the Earth with a soft white blanket while her daughter resided with her husband in the Underworld... It is a remarkable resemblance.

Twenty-one? It is about that temperature now at seven thirty in the evening. I feel rather comfortable.
Further evidence that I would freeze to death in Canada.

I hate it when that happens... I seem to be particularly on edge, no matter the time of day.

Don't worry, none of those things can hurt you.
Even if they are really creepy...

I promised myself I would never be "that guy" but I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with certain "celebrities". Last night I had a dream about one of them. I wouldn't say I'm at "steal their hairbrush" quite yet but it's a slippery slope and I need to stop this before it goes too far.
