Snaking the HIVE

[The_Warlock]

Depends on how you define quiet....

Boo?

Apparently it IS quiet.

Darned sleepy people...

 

[The_Warlock]

Lack of activity. How is everything with you Warlock?

Not bad, Kida. Yourself?

I would say there's normally a few more people peeping in here nights - especially the Europeans...but maybe Monday just is slow the world round.

I know I'm rarely on Monday nights, well, nights anyway...usually have other tasks to get done.

But now I'm just fried, but not tired enough to actually sleep.

Doing Good. Been Busy. Looking forward to Friday, I get to take my son Trick or Treating. He dressing up as Harry Potter. I went all out and got him a real outfit, not some fake polyester piece.

Sounds like a case of the Mondays, or Tuesdays for the European folk.

Been there; it sucks. About two years ago I spotted a couple of shifty people hangin' around outside the flower shop. I called the police. Thankfully they arrived before I closed up the store. Apparently they were casing the place, planning to rob my store. They were busted on account of having unregistered firearms. That gave me a serious wake up call.

I started working out and signed up for some self defense classes. It paid off. I fought off a would be purse snatcher and made a citizens arrest. They got my fried that night. I couyldn't fall sleep until one in the morning.

Very cool. Been a while since Halloween did much for me. But I was inspired by a shirt on ThinkGeek, so a friend's Halloween will be the fourth time in the last two decades that I've bothered to dress up. heh

Most likely.

Well your reason beats mine, hands down. I just helped my Mother move into her new house the day before. Which meant really I was the only person moving stuff, because nobody else could lift anything, especially while going up & down stairs.

And there was enough damned passive aggressive crap going on between my aunts,my mother and my grandmother throughout it all that I had to rather tersely confront my mother for letting herself be walked over...something she just normally doesn't let slide.

I might pull out my Elvira costume, although it might have to be taken in, I've lost some weight since I last wore it.

Should be fun. What did you decide on?

Well I can attest to the fact that moving isn't a picnic. I've moved around this country 6 times. It ain't happening again; stuff lost, stuff left behind (memories, friends, family), firckin' cost of movers....it is too much to go through again.

A woman who can pull off an Elvira costume...EXCELLENT! We need more of those.

A Star Trek Original Series Security ensign, AKA Red Shirt. The Shirt in Question has, written in Star Trek Font across the chest..."EXPENDABLE"

It'll get a laugh or three, especially when the outdoor foam weapon sparring begins.

Luckily, we only had to go a short way cross town. That unfortunately meant that family were close enough to impose their rather daffy and minor crises throughout the move rather than 1) Getting a grip on rather minor issues in the grand scheme of things; 2) Helping rather than standing around and making supervisory comments.

Alas.

 

[The_Warlock]

Yup. I can in fact feel the need for Aspirin as I type this...

She is a horror icon and my personal fave.

Sounds neat. I'm smiling as I type this. I have many fond memories of watching TOS with my friends as I was growing up.

As hort move is most often the best kind. Lots of luck settling into the new place. Sometimes it can be hard.

Recently when I get a headache I have been taking two advil instead of one. That usually does the trick, headache is usually gone in less than an hour.

Hope you feel better soon.

I always enjoyed Elvira growing up. Not that I'm big into horror movies - limited fear reaction makes them rather blah. But if the hostess is good...

As do I, and being a party primarily of geeks and gamers, Red Shirt references generally abound, so I'm pretty sure it'll be well received.

Luckily the place is in good shape, and has had a lot of really good renovations for her, but it's taken longer than expected, or desired, for it to be livable. She should be good now.

Me, they'll probably have to pry me out of my place...I hate moving. Mostly because I'm always the burly fool that gets asked to help when friends are desperate during a move.
