Re: Musings on Random Musings Well, the floor finally seems dry. This mess, however, can't have anything done about it until they replace the padding under the carpet (and preferably the carpet, too) and then I get to replace the furniture. Oh joy of joys. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I just noticed... what the hell is this "Sticky" thing on a thread? The "Extra Extra" is always on top of the threads and I don't know why (or how to remove it). Coz if I'd known I could do that, I'd have stickied my story up top and kept people reading it. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings The hot water pipe under our kitchen sink broke last night, flooding our kitchen, living room, dining room, and entryway. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Some quotes from Saturday's "7th Sea" game... "'Platypus' - Ussuran for 'Matushka didn't know what the hell it was either...'" GM: "There's now about 40 of them, 10 of you." Gustaphe to Connor: "I say we let them send for reinforcements." Alexei: "So we're facing nearly impossible odds, and we have no concept of a plan..." Inigo: "Sounds like our usual job description." Jim (Gustaphe's player): "What do you mean, the garrison commander didn't have the cell keys on him?! How am I supposed to get the chains off this guy?!" Gabrielle (who is already out of the city and helped in the earlier jail break): *twirling keys around on her finger*: "So I wonder what the other keys on this chain are for?" Repeated statement by various Montaigne: "No... El Vago can NOT be in Ussura..." (He is.) Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings Hmmm... this I can fix. Read this, then do it. Close your eyes and imagine me. You know what I look like. Imagine me putting my hands on your shoulders, and imagine feeling a cool, tingling light flowing through you (something like... like you just dove into a pool filled with champagne). Feel the fatigue lifting from you and flowing into me. The aches and blah leave your body... the tiredness leaves your mind. Your heart feels lighter as you feel the negativity flow out of you, into me, and dissipates. Enjoy that feeling for a few minutes, then open your eyes. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings See? You nailed a good review! Frame it! Make an "I Love Me" wall! (what my dad and I call the walls with our diplomas and things, make yours with book covers and reviews) Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Just got Volume I of Chrono Crusade on DVD, and my God it kicks major ass... Watching Chrono go absolutely ballistic in Episode 3 was one of the THE coolest scenes I have seen yet in anime. Not to mention he gets one of the best lines... "What have you done, lowest of the low? You who are so beneath my contempt, you have not even a name?! You dare touch my contractor?! YOU DARE HURT WHAT'S MINE?!" And I'm thinking that Greg Ayres has the making of a damned fine voice actor. First Spiral, now this... I am so all over the next few volumes when my paychecks start coming in... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread *grumble grumble* Wait a month for a DVD to come out, since the last disc ended on a cliffhanger... *grumble grumble* Get the DVD last night and find out it's defective... *grumble grumble* Waste half an hour cleaning and checking the DVD player, but nope, it's the disc... *grumble grumble* Take it back today and exchange it... only to find out this one is defective, too... *grumble grumble* DAMN IT, I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings On the bright side, Skar, if you move to Utah, you're that much closer to the cool gaming people. I know Vegas is about a 4-5 hour drive for us, not sure how much farther on Utah is. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings I will congratulate you again, even though I did so at 8:30 this morning when you called me to tell me (I wasn't originally going to get up to answer the phone, but something told me to get out of bed and sprint for the living room). I wish you and I could work the same work-week (especially with the whole car thing), but given that our husbands have different schedules, I might have to risk it just to see hubby mine every now and again. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings Get your mind out of the gutter, OWoSS. I am not an ASCII artist, those were my attempt at swords. (If I could have, I'd have pointed the thing at the top of his head, a la the sword of Damocles, but no such luck). Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings Thank you, glad you like it! The book's coming along as well as it ever does. I just want to get it done and... ... oh wait, you're not talking to me. *blushes* Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings Um, I'm not young (31 in three weeks), I'm not Amazonian (5'8", 230 lbs), and not really olive-skinned. I'd say more... mature, Rubenesque, and peaches-and-cream... But thanks for the compliment. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Took full advantage of my illness-based insomnia last night to work on a quickie trailer for my book, and I might still be high on NyQuil, but DAMN! It looks good! Really damned awesome for about two hours' work, start to finish... Then I slept til 10:30am... so much for trying to get onto an earlier sleep schedule. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I have the day off, and I have no idea what to do with it. Part of me says I should clean the house so it will look nice for John's birthday, and part of me is sick to death of giving up MY days off to clean... Or I could go back to beating the crap out of Medieval: Total War... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings Well, my mood has of late taken a positive upswing. Question is, will it stay there at least for a little while? Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I wonder if anyone will take me up on my "rep for responses" offer for Chapter Five... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread Swollen, usually. (Then again, when I sit all day, my ankles often become swollen, but rarely do they hurt like this.) Both are still bothering me. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Musings on Random Musings *grins sheepishly* I've been known to do that. How John puts up with it, I have no idea... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I wonder how many people will take me up on my offer to do readings in a hopefully innovative way to raise cash. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread I don't know what I did to hurt them, but both my left wrist and left ankle are killing me... my left wrist has sharp pains going through it, and my left ankle keeps feeling like it's going to give out on me when I put weight on it. And both of them started late last night even though I hadn't been doing anything... Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I started a new thread on the General RolePlaying forum that will hopefully garner some interest... "What Movie Lines Show Up the Most Often in Your Games?" I think it's fun... http://www.herogames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28120 Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... For not realizing I was giving you a compliment! I tried to give you rep, it wouldn't let me. That's a compliment. Michelle aka Samuraiko

Re: The cranky thread Today I posted my resume on Jobing.com and sent out about 8 or 9 resumes for different jobs, then tomorrow I'll do the same thing, and pretty much keep sending stuff out til the phone starts to ring. With any luck, I'll have an interview or three by the end of the week. Michelle aka Samuraiko
