                Zork.

                I got in a conversation with a friend today and they had never heard of Zork before. I grew up with it and, looking back, I realize it's not only the grandfather of RPGs, but also of MUDs, which later led to MUXs/MUSHs.

                I am glad I was eaten by a grue. Repeatedly.

                      Drove down to the lagoon and there are sandy beaches there.

                      Saw a pickup truck that someone had jacked down and turned into one of those low-riding street hugging things with the wide ridiculous tires that don't belong on a truck.

                      It's stuck in the sand. Wheels spinning.

                      Schadenfreude. 🙂

                        Our moluccan cockatoo; a pink engine of flirtatious chaos.

                        She can be quite a handful, and does her best to take over a household (all half a pound of her) but she's a blast. When she's mad she screams "PRETTY BIRD!" at you aggressively - in her language it means something completely offensive.

                        She loves Queen, rap and Beyonce. I'm currently teaching her to appreciate Iron Maiden.

                            They believe that they've booked a moderately ambitious venue with a capacity of 150-200. But with the coverage that this has been receiving in the media, they may need somewhere bigger...

                            Estimated 150-200 heads in attendance, soul count is steady at zero.

                                I was overwhelmed at the sheer quantity of ginger. I am a soulful and sapient creature, but I have my limits.

                                    Today, we adopted cats.. We went out to FACE (Indianapolis) by Open Door bus - paratransit, for my wheelchair. The trip out was so on time and easy that I should have known the trip back would be full of delays. but that is kind of trivial. We got to the shelter and were ushered into the Adoptable Cat room.

                                    We knew we wanted Puzzle. She'd been there for 2 years, because people don't want disabled cats as much. She was rescued from an abusive situation where she was mistreated and eventually shot(!) so she was very shy and wary of people. Her injuries cost her a hind leg. She's a beautiful girl and we were determined to take her anyhow.

                                    We'd asked for a second cat too, a three-legged black boy ingloriously named 'Leggy' but by the time we could get everything arranged and get out there he had found a home. So we had an open slot for a cat, generally meeting them and seeing who wanted to go with us. We did have a list of four cats to meet, but three had been spoken for and the fourth just refused to meet us, hiding in the really nice Catio FACE has attached to the adoptable cat room. We ended up choosing Shadow, another black kitty missing a hind leg, who was companionable with Puzzle. We figured he'd hep reassure her. Cats chosen and adopted we headed home!

                                    We set the carriers down in the utility room, line of sight to where we were sitting in the den, and unlatched the doors so the new cats could emerge when they wanted to. (Yes, I know, you're supposed to isolate them in a separate room, but the only room here with a door turns into a oven if you close the door. Very bad.) The resident cats were curious. I had to laugh when Dusty decided that New Cats were friends, he crawled into Shadow's carrier to cuddle. Then he went and sniffed nose to nose with Puzzle. Dusty's Verdict: "Oh Hai!". Both our younger cats were super mellow, Moon-Moon just seemed to follow Dusty's lead. Mischief seemed unworried. Hektor's hissed twice, which for him is awfully good - he's a small cat with a Napoleon Complex who wants to be top cat, but is basically ignored by the others.

                                    Puzzle is hiding under the TV stand but she's very alert and interested in what everyone (people and cats) are doing. Shadow's technically hiding under Corey's bed but he comes out if you call him to get petting and attention, so he's much more laid back then she is.

                                    Cat acquisition successful!

                                        This probably makes me a horrible person, but watching the last few weeks of Reddit melting down has been very entertaining during a slow period at work. It reminds me of that old shit storm Serenity went through a few years back.

                                          I only read about it today. It couldn't happen to a nicer part of the internet.

                                          Well, maybe /b/.

                                            The Korean spa near me. I wish I could afford to go weekly. A day of hydrotherapy and sauna-like stuff, along with getting the first layer of my skin scrubbed off by a stern auntie = awesome soft skin and relaxation. Also 5 hours more or less by myself while hanging out there!
