Sunday Indulgances

[bjornwilde]

So the day's almost half over but that doesn't mean you don't get a chance to strut your stuff! Post in with your awesome; in bar, out of bar, in real life, I don't care cause you are awesome and I love to hear about it.

And since I am doing this quickly and don't have a cute GIF handy, here's a link to the Weeee-vengers.

I made it through my third week, put in an application for a place to rent, attended Back to School Night and had the first meeting of an after school roleplaying club. At the moment I'm feeling quite tired and a little out of it, but its been a good week just long.

In terms of RP, I've mainly been tagging out. I hope to maybe do an EP later today, but that depends on if I can get out of a bit of funk that I'm in.

William met Steve and they talked about comics and war. This was such a sweet thread. He also met Eric Northman, which is going cautiously, hopefully Katya will be proud of him. Gene took William's book and they're having an interesting conversation about uses for Milliways. Steph Brown dripped ice cream on him and these two are being cute.

Tumnus met Zira with much confusion on both sides.

Charles and Ava are talking and sharing just how different their ideas on psychic abilities are. I love Ava, she's such a complicated character.

[bjornwilde]

I shall definitely have to read all of those later, especially the one with Steve, as they sound wonderful. = ]

<3333

this thread with charles is really interesting! even if i have NO IDEA when the other x-men shoe is gonna drop.

(she'll feel soooooo dumb.)

Amascut and Adrian discuss brightly colored mushrooms is about the only thing I got done RP-wise, and I haven't really had time to thread stalk. So busy at work. But, someone new(well, not new, returning) got hired and I won't have to train her so yay reduced workload! Hopefully, I will get to play more during Halloween and the Days of the Dead, since Amascut needs to be tortured fulfill her Halloween duties.

Have you noticed that many EPs don't get tagged until the day after they are posted, if at all? It makes finding interesting threads to stalk difficult :-/

[the_lioness]

I wrote an OOM! I'm having a lot of fun filling in scenes that mostly occur off stage in the books. Also, I am tagged up everywhere. This pleases me! Now I need to get to other things I owe. *hops to it*

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

Steve and Bucky are the best besties ever, and Nori gave Steve chocolate to help with his man troubles.

Steve and Orpheus made up.

Bilbo got a birthday EP.

I am awesomely avoiding packing and awesomely avoiding writing. I need to be a different, productive kind of awesome. It's frustrating.

Threadwise... uh, Claudia's introduced Branson to the wonder of cars beyond his time. That's about it, this week.

Non-threadwise, WE HAD A GABBY Thursday and Friday! (Alas, we didn't end up with the budget to pull off Weavesapalooza.) It was great fun. And on Friday, because Quinn had asked if there were any fandom foods of great significance, we made apple turnovers (NOOOOOOOO).

Which led to a photo op: In which Regina taunts Mary Margaret, Quinn conveniently had a red hoodie and I did my best DRAMATIC SWOON.

We also had some ricefail Thursday night, which became drainfail, which we have now conquered with a little help from Drano and plumbing snake. Mostly the plumbing snake. Without having to call pros!

[bjornwilde]

That is a very nice dramatic swoon.

(YESSSS!)

Shameless Joyful Indulgence

[wanderlustlover]

I AM IN NEW YORK.

Staying with Anna & Debi & Becca with Weaves & Li.
Last night I had a Veronica, Gabby, Lynne, and Gen.

Today I had all of those people plus a Heather, Misha, and Alex.


Plus. Guys. NEW YORK. I AM IN NEW YORK. ON A SEVENTEEN DAY VACATION.

I have not been this cuddled, written this much, or felt this happy in forever.
I am bubbly and bouncy and floating away on a cloud of totally being all blissified.

[minkhollow]

huzzah! (I understand you got the last of the TURNOVERS NOOOOO. XD)

Re: Shameless Joyful Indulgence

[bjornwilde]

Awesome!

Re: Shameless Joyful Indulgence

[swankyfunk]

It was awesomely random/randomly awesome to run into you and Weaves and Alex!

[themightyspazz]

I wrote up an app!

[themightyspazz]

But the name of the guy I wrote it up for escapes me this very second...

[fantasticfireferret]

Hrm, let's see...I think his name rhymes with...Draco?

[fantasticfireferret]

...Shako?

[fantasticfireferret]

...Rayco?

[fantasticfireferret]

You know, it's the damnedest thing, but I can't remember his fandom, either. Something about Dora, maybe? Maybe her little purple monkey, too?

[fantasticfireferret]

Eh, oh well. I'm sure it'll come back to me eventually.

[bjornwilde]

Maybe this video will help?

[fantasticfireferret]

IN SPANISH I'D CALL HIM BASURA!

[ladysingsthe]

I am VERY PROUD OF MYSELF this week!

In this cornerrrrr, The Mystery of the Freaking Missing Stupid Angel. Guest-starring Zira, Zevran, Charles Xavier, Riley Poole, Nick "Word of a" Sayre, Thor, and the giant evil karaoke machine.

I also did a thing! LOOK, FAIRIES.

[bbq_platypus]

Things are going about the same as always. School continues to suck. But I was able to make a few tags anyway. Also, I changed browers. Firefox has served me well, but I finally got fed up with its shit. I switched to Iron, which is like Chrome only less evil.

In the meantime, Jim threaded with Zira and Kane got to bring the ham.

[yakalskovich]

IRL, my colleagues and I shifted five metric fucktons of cheap Californian wine on Thursday. And my muscles are hardly sore. All that exercise is paying off.-

WEAVESAPALOOZA!

[ladyoflorien]

THIS IS ME RN. ALL THIS AWESOME IN ONE ROOM. CANNOT COPE.

Also, today there was the Brooklyn Book Festival and the very first thing I saw was a Douglas Adams baseball jersey with the number -- come on, GUESS -- 42 on the back. I wanted it so hard, but I has no monies. So I settled for an Edgar Allen Poe baseball card for free and awesome times with awesome people.

I seriously can't even right now. ♥___♥

[withherhands]

COULSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON inna bar and I love him so much already. Not that that's difficult, for many different reasons. :D:D:D:D:D

[bjornwilde]

Some other day he and Jessica Drew need to meet. = ]

[hisonegoodeye]

:D

*blush*

[bcgphoenix]

I...do not have anything to contribute, but I will say that those gifs make me crack up in a completely helpless, much needed way after a really long and fucking exhausting day. So thank you for that. <3!

[bjornwilde]

[Assuming it was the Weee-vengers you were talking about] No problem, especially if they brought cheer! I loved them too, though the Cap one is the best.

[chimpan_a]

I got Zira posted in! And she was tagged by quite a lot of people, which is neat. I need to start throwing her at people.

On a personal front I got to do a city tour of Boston on one of those hop-on-hop-off tourist buses, and I got to visit the MIT Museum (soooo many robots!) and the Harvard Natural History Museum (rather more dead things in jars than I would have liked, and a huge section of densely packed taxidermied animals that felt very little like science and very much like "look at what WE shot!!"). The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology had a legitimately acquired totem pole, though, so that was something, and a good set of exhibits on mural art in Central American civilizations, and a very nice section on Day of the Dead celebrations in modern Mexico along with their studies of Maya society. So there's that too.

And this was last week, not this weekend, but I discovered maple sugar cotton candy. Wow.

[1nv1nc1ble]

I packed books and boardgames and books and computer software and books. I have a lot of books. And a lot of dust, because my annual case of sinusitis came early. Yay.

If anybody needs me, I'll be over here in the corner, trying to write an OOM for Mark and making myself mildly nauseous on Hall's cough drops.

[acts_of_gord]

You may want to consider stopping by your drugstore and-

Well, no. Let me start like this. Would you be willing to consider anything that involves sticking stuff up your nose as a treatment for your sinusitis? Because when I get it, my doctor recommends the use of a thing called NeilMed Sinus Rinse. Which is a nice way of saying 'put warm, safe water in the bottle, put our packet of salt and baking soda in the bottle, make sure it dissolves, then stick the bottle in your nose and squeeze until water comes out the other nostril'. It's a nasty, nasty, nasty experience, but it clears out an awful lot of the crap I get when I get sinus infections, and it tends to wash the dust away too. I usually get some good cough-free time afterwards because there's nothing left to drip down the back of my throat.

But it still involves 'put this in one nostril and squeeze until it comes out the other', which can be kind of a deal-breaker.

[1nv1nc1ble]

I've been using WaterPik's version (SinuSense) for several years now. My sinuses generally react poorly to abrupt changes in the weather (like the 80F to 96F jump that happened last Friday) and large amounts of particulate matter (like dust off of bookshelves). I suspect that this will pass tonight.

So yes, no problems with a nasal lavage.

[acts_of_gord]

Makes sense! I only know NeilMed because my doctor pointed me at it, but in the end it's all pretty much the same so long as it ends with someone standing over a sink going "Why the hell did I do that again?". I hope it all clears up for you, regardless.
