Defenders of Daybreak OT thread

D'oh! Sorry for cluttering up the story thread, Piratecat; I didn't realize it was a pain to delete posts (although I shoulda).

Anyway, to each their own on Valentine's Day. I kinda enjoy it, but then I'm a sucker for feast days.

No problem, Daniel; I'll delete your altered wedding photo! Hee hee, I crack myself up. Hey, while I have you, swing by the Gamers Seeking Gamers forum; someone posted there from Asheville, and maybe you know someone who is looking for a player.

Meanwhile: In the next update, you'll find out that Nacreous is secretly populated by modrons!

Oh yes -- I forgot to mention that that picture is gonna give me nightmares. Could I persuade you to leave it up until I get a chance to show it to my blushing bride? It might convince her to shave that beard off.

[Piratecat]

Glad to. I'd hate for those five minutes of photoshopping to go to waste.

It sounds to me like you're celebrating for all the right reasons. And that's a fine and good thing. The behavior that bugs me is the commercial sponsored guilt layed on with a trowel that says "Buy or you don't really love him/her!" Bleagh.

Can I get the recipie for those truffles?

On the plus side, we did go and buy a lot of half-price candy on the 15th....

Anyways, I have no tape for the next game, which in some ways is a shame. It's going to be all memory. But I bet everyone will be thrilled for the return of their favorite uber-lawful demigoddess.

Oooh, Halcyon. Can't wait.

And yes, half price candy is great. Sadly, our local grocery store didn't have any. Just expensive, out way too early Easter candy.

Actually, KidCthulhu, the truffles were the only non-homemade part of the meal: a local shop called The Chocolate Fetish makes them, and I figured it was a great excuse to use a gift certificate I had for the place.

But the cheesecake recipe is superb -- it's Rose Levy Beranbaum's cheesecake from The Cake Bible. I thought it was available online; I'm apparently mistaken. Lemme know if you want a copy of it; I made two of them for our wedding and one for my sister's, and it really comes out well. Beranbaum is an insane baker (some of her recipes literally take days to make), but she knows her stuff.

And I showed Sharon the picture, Kevin, and she laughed and said, "Wait -- that's gonna give YOU nightmares?! What about ME?"

Your work here is done. Thanks!

Oh yeah -- and for you folks complaining about Valentine's Day. My gift? Extended Edition The Two Towers. I've got the best wife in the world! We just finished watching it ten minutes ago.

Oh, and since we can be OT about things and I don't have to have P-Kitty Delete things (I did try to at least keep my OT posts to things that were funny before), my "Singles Awareness Day" consisted of watching various romantic movies (one might call them chick flicks. Bah), and reading the Orestia for a class. I guess that's romantic, in a twisted way.

On the plus side, it was probably a lot cheaper than if I'd had a girlfriend

"Singles Awareness Day?" That's just...SAD. (Was that an intentional acronym?)
