Off topic and Absurd

Wooot! new board and new OT

:heart:

so to get this started.

what is everyone up to these days?

I have been a bum this summer--playing gw (and my hubby's new phone ap zen koi, dang addictive game :@ )

oh and the other topics of mine: weather--going to be warm this week
and
food: corn on the cob!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the BEST things of summer!

Perkunas! Nice to see you here!!! (and its been a long time too...)

VERY hot today....and the car brakes started making lots of noise again...so another day at the old dealership...though it was nothing serious (only a bit of tightening needed), though they did find the exhaust pipe was leaking so it got replaced...so that was a good thing.

yeah, summers are not a really good time if you want to see the animals at a zoo....they dont like the heat either...think the campout would have been a better time.

hot and raining here...getting tired of rain.

lucky for us, none of them were near us (got lots of rain, thunder and lightning)...and now its acorn season, so our driveway looks like the aftermath of a storm everyday (and a hazard to walk on as well).

got to see the star trek movie this week before it left the theaters, too much action for me and not as much story--but that has been the way of the new star trek movies.

hubby finally uploaded all of our original series ones to the computer so we can watch them at any time, next gen is on our bbc channel just about every day--and has been for years, so I get to see that just about any time.
One of the new cable stations here has started showing deep space nine, voyager and enterprise (which I had not seen the last season of since I was living in japan when it aired)....though a friend of mine lent me his copies to watch (when my cable went out) so I got to see it. We also had the whole deep space nine series on dvd which he uploaded as well (he had some time off last month so it finally got done). So even when the cable is out we can still watch those. My friend didnt have the voyager ones (said he would check after xmas if they were on sale someplace) because they were overpriced.
Got the last movie for xmas on dvd so I have something to watch (and turn the volume down on) and pause--so I can take it all in.
Still havent seen the newest star wars movie nor the harry potter universe one...but might wait for that one to hit the cable instead, will try to get to the star wars one (if its still out....).

the new cable network here is almost thru the whole deep space nine and voyager series (they finished the original, next gen and enterprise a while ago), been nice to watch them all again since its been sometime since deep space nine and voyager were on (seems the bbc has also gotten ahold of the voyager series and has been showing the first 3 seasons on mondays here). My friend got the voyager ones at an after xmas sale! Syfy has had next gen for years now, so have gotten to see them tons of times (and have not been rewatching them).
Got to see the star wars movie, not a really good movie, the story was weak and the acting, well, some was ok, none were good....but it will make money which is what disney wanted. Think I missed the potter movie, oh well.

I play while listening to the movies as I like the soundtracks almost as much (more) than the movies themselves (especially the first 2---john williams is a GOD to movie soundtracks!). The ABC family channel plays them every few weekends (though they do like to pass over order and sometimes goblet...), but they add so many commercials that it takes them 4+ hours to show each movie! I listen to the star wars movies and the star trek movies too---I have watched them soo many times that it gives a new perspective to them.
at some point I will read the HP books, yep, put it on my list (which by this time is so long that the last ones will be gotten to when I am closer to 150 years old /sigh)...so much to do, never enough time...can you believe its already February????

wtb fountain of youth!

Nice to see you again---hope the weather is missing you (heard about a tornado someplace in Illinois...)
We havent gotten much snow either, but rain is falling as we speak now.
Been playing some as well, working on some survivors across a few accounts and getting thru the canthan new year (and opening gifts to get the mini--just because I like to see the celestial show up) as well as getting some armor for some of my minor characters (mules etc).

yep, gets quiet now
yeah, I had those ark plans out too ....rained for like 10 days straight (then one day off and then 4 more days...)...but seems we have another break in the weather....until tomorrow! /sadWETpanda well...at least its not SNOW--
just came back from the upper part of michigan (NOT the UP) and it SNOWED there the first day (and was wiiiiinnnnnyyyy!!!) had some really nice wind burn on my face that day..then the next day it got warmer and the wind settled--and then the next day it was in the 60's! (today it was 70)....so we went from cold enough to snow to almost 70 in the short time we were there (wed-sun), yep crazy midwest weather! (saw buds on the trees here too).

ok, shameless bump here....I get lonely when no one posts in the OT thread /sad panda

so POST people! What are people doing???? playing gw??? making great costumes for halloween? sitting on the couch watching fall tv? (or playing games on their 'phone's shouldnt call them phones anymore as folks rarely use them to make phone calls-----).....

sounds nice, no vacations here....though the weather is pretty dang nice right now, sunny with a light breeze....and hubby is away on business, so the whole condo is mine (which also means I have to make all my own meals as well, but hey its a trade off).

you are correct---for the first year or so my hubby had his, he had no idea which buttons to push/swipe/etc to end a call...so new technology has its learning curve.
I will say, when I went to a restaurant and the menu was on an ipad thingy that I had no idea how to use it either (as I still dont own either a smart phone nor any pads), so a learning experience happened that day (good thing my companion was acquainted with them or it would have been a long lunch indeed!)

NOOOOOO!!!
ah, well, have a good trip (and enjoy the plane ride!).

lol, gotta keep me playing my OT games instead of playing gw!---been working on my gamer title, though I dont think I will make it to the next level (even though I do finish the scared psyche ...just cant do it for more than an hour a day).

another lovely day, beautiful weather---especially since its the end of October and it was over 70 here!
but not complaining since I missed a good portion of the summer being sick.

well, we got your rain...and now the temps are 'normal' for October
but it was nice while it lasted.....but that is October here, sometimes its nice and warm and others its cold and raining.

glad your trip is going well....

And now its bloody cold here, guess we had been pampered too long with the nice warm weather. Only good thing is neither the heat nor the a/c are on so I hope my bills for this month are a lot less.

Getting ready for halloween, tons of decoration are up around here, hope they dont have snow on them soon!

ah, so now its halloween, time to stay up all day and read the mad kings jokes (for the umptenth time---).
The weather is cold (they say SNOW in the forecast )

and my computer and legacy are playing nice again (THANKS KEVIN!!!)....

now back to dancing in LA

thought you just got back from a holiday? ....and havent EVER had a trick or treater here (ok, one year the lady who lived downstairs grandson, but her daughter was living there at the time and she didnt want him to go far--and she asked us in advance)...one of the advantages of condo living.

70 would be nice, hasnt been that warm here on halloween in sometime....I will miss the warm summer breeze---

now back to LA (waiting for the mad king to call on the rmt spammers)

working on it ---rained here yesterday and supposed to for part of the weekend. Will have to speak to those elves again, they get on a roll and just dont like to stop.

but it IS fall and fall to me means RAIN...so ------
