Satellite transmits my voice

Everyone go to YouTube and look up Sassy Gay Friend. Like, now. Othello is my favorite, but Hamlet and the Giving Tree are both pretty awesome as well. Seriously, go.

Well, it's time for the Bad, the Good, and the Buh? in Kia's life.

( This got slightly long, as my life is wont to do. |D )

So yes! Those are the life and times of Kia. Tomorrow, I fly home until Sunday. Should be interesting, but interesting can be fun. |Db

...okay I couldn't resist. A bit NWS for language, but still amazing.

Man oh man it's been a long past few days. Work's actually been picking up a bit - for a given value of "picking up" - and I've actually been a bit occupied there, so really, no complaints on that front. I do need to go on another egg hunt, though.

I'm moving tomorrow! Sunday is going to be a lot of putting stuff in cars and ferrying it from one location to another. If anyone local wants to help, I pay in brownies, and guys, I do make good brownies. |Db

I'm going to take a break from XI for a while - maybe a week or so. I need a bit of time and distance to Figure Things Out. This happens with my games every once in a while. /shrug

Second City also has me headtilting in confusion. I mean, on one hand, I am absolutely loving what's going down. Linkara's going to be an honorary Strawhat at this rate, which I find hilarious. Rosette needs to do more, but being Buffy for a thread has definitely been good for her. The part that's making me headtilt is J. I mean, I was hoping this latest plot would give him something to work towards or at least be good for him, and instead he's been absolutely humiliated. It is IC, and I don't know what else I was expecting with Lara involved, but the guy really needs a break and he might not get it with me at the helm. The lesson here: check Dear Mun more often, and remember that this is indeed a game based on the Dresden Files.

So basically, Kia's RP at this moment can be summed up with "Son I am confuse." There are times when pretendy fun times break my brain.

Incidentally, I really need to finish that Usopp app. I've got, what, four days? Five? Something like that.

On a completely unrelated note, there's a new trailer for Epic Mickey, and it is...well, epic.



BBS C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER

It started a few hours ago:

LeSeptieme (8:49:13 PM): "Today at my job in the emergency room, a person walked in with a large scarf hiding her nose and was holding lots of bloody Kleenex. Why? She had stuck a pair of iPod headphones up her nose so far that they became lodged into her nasal passageway. She was voted funniest injury of the night. MLIA"
universejuice (8:49:30 PM): oh dear god
LeSeptieme (8:50:15 PM): I laughed my ass off
universejuice (8:50:39 PM): why would you even
LeSeptieme (8:51:42 PM): some people's children

And then:

LeSeptieme (9:31:51 PM): ...okay, there has to be something to this headphones-up-the-nose thing
LeSeptieme (9:31:54 PM): it keeps popping up.
universejuice (9:31:57 PM): ...really
LeSeptieme (9:32:01 PM): yep
universejuice (9:32:19 PM): hmm
LeSeptieme (9:34:14 PM): "Today I found out my dad reads MLIA. How did I find out? Well, he was in his room shoving his iPod earphones up his nose trying to be a human speaker. MLIA"
LeSeptieme (9:34:18 PM): AHA
universejuice (9:34:29 PM): pfff I am so baffled by this |D
LeSeptieme (9:34:47 PM): I don't get it XD

And finally:

LeSeptieme (10:03:51 PM): "Today, I read a story on MLIA that if you put your headphones in your nose and play your ipod really loud, you can hear the music through your mouth. I decided to try this myself. My mom walked into my room when I had my headphones in both nostrils while Sexyback was playing out of my mouth. She took one look at me and backed out slowly. MLIA"
universejuice (10:04:21 PM): whaaaat
LeSeptieme (10:04:46 PM): I really want to try this now XD
universejuice (10:04:51 PM): m-me too
LeSeptieme (10:04:56 PM): I promise I won't get them stuck in my nasal cavity
universejuice (10:05:45 PM): ...OH SHIT IT WORKS
LeSeptieme (10:05:57 PM): -I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T HAVE EARBUDS
universejuice (10:06:07 PM): I HAVE A PAIR I FORGOT ABOUT
universejuice (10:06:10 PM): THIS IS HILARIOUS
LeSeptieme (10:06:16 PM): OH GAD
LeSeptieme (10:06:19 PM): DON'T GET THEM STUCK
universejuice (10:06:29 PM): I WON'T I PROMISE
LeSeptieme (10:06:33 PM): OKAY GOOD
LeSeptieme (10:06:39 PM): ...does it really work
universejuice (10:06:42 PM): totally
LeSeptieme (10:06:47 PM): Well.
LeSeptieme (10:06:52 PM): Learn something new every day.
universejuice (10:06:53 PM): also when I swallow there's one point where it's louder
LeSeptieme (10:07:03 PM): ...*dead*
universejuice (10:07:08 PM): I know right
universejuice (10:07:17 PM): I feel so stupid but it's too amazing
LeSeptieme (10:07:26 PM): I am just dying over here
LeSeptieme (10:07:31 PM): so glad nobody else is working right now
universejuice (10:07:36 PM): <3

My life is average and my friends are awesome.

ETA: Found the original post!

"Today, my friends and I discovered that if you put your headphones in your nose and play your ipod really loudly, you can hear the music through your mouth when it's open, and can't hear it when it's closed. MLIA"

...the hell were they doing when they figured that out? More importantly, do we want to know? o_o

This entire entry is going to be epic semi-coherent spaz about the Star Trek movie, which I saw with my mom and brother tonight at 7. It is massively spoilery. You have been warned.

( My name is James Tiberius Kirk! )

The Verdict: A. Abrahms, make another one. Now. Until then, I'll go see this one again. Because it was awesome.

My roomie and I have been marathoning How I Met Your Mother, mostly because it's an awesome show and I need to catch up. In the show, there's a character named Barney. His catchphrase, aside from "legen - wait for it - dary," is "suit up." Basically, whenever he takes someone out to do something (namely Ted out to socialize), he tells them to "suit up" - put on a suit. He also always wears one. Basically: "X place. Y time. It'll be legen- wait for it -dary. We're going! Suit up!"

Kinda like this:

( Normally it's a bit less extreme, but this truly is classic Barney )

Gotta love the guy.

So tonight, my roomie was on the phone with her friend, and they were doing the back-and-forth "Well we haven't decided what to do tonight but you don't have to do anything if you don't want to though I can totally pick you up if you do" thing. It was one of those conversations that could go on for hours if someone didn't step in.

So I asked her for the phone, took it, and started talking. "Hi Heather!. Look. We're going to go pick you up. After that, we're going to Santa Monica and having dinner at the pier, maybe Bubba Gump's. We're going to get dessert. After that, we're coming home, watching some anime, doing whatever. If you need to do your homework, bring your books and we'll make it a homework party. You're spending the night. We're coming and we'll call you when we get there. Now suit up!"

Believe it or not, that was exactly what we did. We all suited up and went to the pier. It was fantastic.

No.

It was - wait for it - legendary.

Of course, now I've all but picked up a Barney muse. He wouldn't make it at any of my serious games, but I think a dressing room would be fun. legen_waitforit is taken, so possible usernames include lemon_law, needawingman, daddys_home, and slapbet_loser (especially since there's a slapbet_comish Lily at dear_mun. Thoughts?

So, Clover just decided to stomp over everything in Daisychain. Getting one's rear blown up will do that.

( But then we realized something in chat. )

This should get really, really interesting really, really quickly. I'm likin' it. :D
