Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Well things are calming down. I got the final draught of my thesis in yesterday, which hopefully will! be it and they won't decide I need to write yet more corrections, since yee gods I'm so! sick of disabled people and ethics at this point (the subject of my thesis). In much sadder news, my lady's mum died on Saturday morning. While on the one hand this is extremely sad, on the other my lady actually does feel better owing to the fact that she knows her mum isn't suffering or uncomfortable, which is something she's been seriously worried about. So in some senses things are getting rather more relaxed around here which is good. I've continued my read of the Belgariad, which I'm coming to the final book of. I've really! enjoyed these and am glad that I still enjoy them now as much as I did when I was sixteen and last read them. They've also posted my review of Dean Koontz Midnight over on fantasybookreview.c o.uk, which you can read here I'll confess to it not being exactly my favourite book, but as to why, well read the review and find out, Okay, i'll go and spank myself for the crime of heanus self promotion :d.In other news, i've started gaming again, or at least have been having huge amounts of fun (and productive development), slaying turkeys on Alter. Actually it's nice I can advance relatively quickly with this, hopefully I'll even get the alter advent calinda this year too. I've got a bit of extra cash on Paypal which I was repaid following my donations to Star traders, and I might buy some practices for Alter with it, we'll see. Also, I've restarted watching Buffy the vampire slayer at season 4 which is as good as ever. It's strange, it's been nearly a year since I finished season 3 (and season 1 of Angel), so I've been look ing at reviews and the like to remember where I was up to, yet I find I get back into the swing of things fairly quickly, indeed rather more so than I did previously given that the last time I was embroiled in buffy I was a little destracted owing to having fallen helplessly in love and being uncertain what would happen. The hopelessly in love part is still very much the case, but the uncertainty sort of got a bit resolved, which makes for a better mood to watch vampires getting pummeled .

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 The term for describing when the "r" is voiced at the ends of most words is that the "r" is rhotic. Some parts of the United States--notably Mississippi--do not have a rhotic accent as can be seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt04Y5jqUyQ Australia may not have a rhotic accent, but we do have illision (also explained in the above video).

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 @Tj, I remember having a major arguement with one guy on audeasy about this, when we were discussing the difference between the words logger and lager, since he was having a huge irritation about the fact that we don't have a voice R in most uk English the way Americans and the Irish do.Actually you don't in Australia either .it finished up with me having to reccord how I said both words and send them onto the list, and the conclusion that the o sound is just different in the way we pronounce things in England. then again even by Uk standard's I'm said to speak rather propper oxford English just because of me so i'm probably mroe a stickler. @Cae, it's not so much mass media not doing regional accents that I mind since in Britain at least most regions have accents so strong they're pretty perminant (you should hear the jordies up here in the northeast, not to mention Yorkshire, Lancashire, or Liverpool). What really gets up my nose is how the media in England is promoting extremely lazy ways of speaking, and stuff that just plane doesn't sound nice or accurate. For example, saying th's as f's, or wrendering you as ya, or still worse, sticking r's where they don't belong, --- eg in nottingham where my parent's live you still hear people saying "Gerroff" instead of "get off" or "I Toadjya" rather than "I told you" and this unfortunately is now seen even on local news readers or radio djs.(really I'm not joking, this one does sound like toad as in the master of toad hall). Anyway, leaving aside orthography for a second, things over here are really! stressful. Mrs. Dark's mum is in more of a state than we realized, being not just catatonic but actually suffering, indeed some of the medical sp; care stuff i've heard is pretty shocking, particularly to me who is the son of a nurse and a physio therapist. It then doesn't help that the hopefully final draught of my doctoral thesis corrections is in for the 30th so I'm working my rear end off, one reason why I've been very quiet on the gaming front recently since I just don't have the inclination or energy other than the odd quick round of rhythm rage or pipe 2 blast chamber to let off some steam, or get hit by some steam more often than not .So, pretty dire all around at the present time, and just to compound things Mrs. Dark is starting guide dog training today, though hopefully that will be okay. I also had a miner scare this morning since I seemed to have fused my victor stream, though fortunately taking out and replacing the battery got it working okay, which is good since I'm going back to the Belgariad series from David eddings after my irritations with Red rising. Actually I did worry the suck fairy, click this link if you don't know who she is might have cast her baleful influence, but it turns out no! indeed I'm resisting the urge to do a review for this one just because I'm enjoying it rather more than I expected to, despite now seeing a few flaws, in particular that the main character comes across more like twelve than fourteen. Still it's especially nice to read a book with a teenaged main character that doesn't have anxt, or at least has a conflict where he's continually mothered and wher eyour actually on his side rather than him being an annoying arse, insert " rant about "kids today", or at least fictional kids today . Seriously I do wonder if people are just more self obsessed these days .

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 I haven't been able to pin down which regions do what with the cot / caught distinction. The way mass media is chipping away at regional accents makes it even trickier, never mind that people are moving around a lot these days.But lard and lord sound nothing alike. ... Well, I reckon I could imagine someone with a really thick accent blurring them together Speaking of regional dialects, I now feel the need to look through my writing to see if I use phrasings like "in the floor" anywhere.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Well youch, today is getting a bit complex due to lack of sleep and being awake. Red rising I'm really! disappointed in.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Dark, I believe that there is a difference between the pronunciation of the "o" in "hot" and the "a" in "heart", though the difference is much more noticeable in northern accents; I will concede that in the south, there is almost no difference. But I do agree that the difference is much more pronounced (no pun intended) in British English.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 @tj, No, Lord in American english doesn' sound like lard but generally long o's in america sound rather like a's, hence why there isn't a difference other than the voiced r sound in hot and heart. It's to do with the position of the lips, indeed according to my lady when she was learning to sing she was encouraged to do it in an english accent since pulling the lips forward helps far more with air flow. What I attempted to write in the new york gangster accent was yeah, you talking propper like what we does or we gives you the cemente overcoat, (no gangsters don't do propper grammar either). @Lord Lundin, sorry but animal abuse not cool, (especially since I just finished reading a book with lots of it). just shut your door. ouch, well family business is going to get rather complex since Mrs. Dark's mum is now severely ill following a rather badly gone bypass, actually when I say "severely ill" it's the sort of will need a hospice type of seferely ill. Needless to say she's not feeling particularly cheerful about this, and again I still have mondo work to do. I've started Pierce Brown's Red rising which frankly I'm disappointed in. the write up sounded interesting, sort of a distopea ala the hungar games but with a heavy sf twist. however the main character is so hard bitten as to be a right bastard, which means the real badguys are super bastards, indeed there virtually isn't anyone in the hole book who isn't some range of bastard, and when you combine that with a very cursary overblown writing style and huge amounts of really unnecessary gore and grimness it all feels so overdone as to be a little ridiculous. It's a shame, the world does have some interesting ideas, like humanity split into colours and society that is sort of like sf roman empire even down to dueling with rather cool morphing blades, and the pacing is rather good with lots of cliffhangers, but everyting is so over done it feels more like reading a wiki synopses of a propper story written by a thirteen year old with more testosterone than brains.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Yeah, you talking proper just like we do in New York or we give you a cement overcoat. (buried in cement seeing as we were talking about gangsters)On another note ... I just received a message from my older friend and he says that his coworker is interested in the idea of me joining the project.My brain is already stuck on coding ... this is going to suck and be fun at the same time!Ugg, my arch enemy is making her way to my property as I write this. I'm usually very fond of dogs and dogs the same with me, but this one? Well we can't stand each other. Fortunately I've created some non-physical scare tactics to use against her. If she advances towards me I usually get down on her level and just stare at her which causes her to back up but still continue to bark. at me. So then I slowly inch my way forward and call out her name (Mimmi) in the sweetest voice I can. At this point she usually runs off and hides If she is running back and forth in the hallway barking and no one gives two shits (or one shit for that matter) I usually get out there and create enough mayhem so that the dog goes wild (doesn't take a lot for that to happen). At this point someone will rescue her from me because I promised the other family members that I'd hurt her if she tries to bite me again.And to clarify, no it's not our dog, it was my stepbrothers dog as he moved back in for a year or so after having lost his apartment. Or well, he broke up with his girlfriend at that time and the rent was too much for a single person. Now my stepbrother moved across the country and left the dog in the hands of our step grandma ... I mean I never interact with her but I guess that 's what she is to make it easier on everyone else.However, stepgrammy's husband (n ot step grandpa, actually) is in pretty bad shape and sometimes has to go to the hospital so then we take care of her ... my sister received a call from her grandma ... or my stepsister, but I interact with her enough to call her my sister just like I call my stepdad for dad. So yeah ... I better put on a pair of socks in case she tries to bite my toes, at which Point I'll kick her into a wall.

We were talking and she did it ... last time it was me. Yea!I didn't know mistborn and stormlight were by the same author - I've been recommended both of them but haven't found them on my national library. I'm slowly progressing my way on pact, an online series about ghosts and demons, but the story hasn't caught my interest like the previous author's work, worm, which can be found atwww.parahumans.wordpress.comA very long and awesome series, with lots of interesting fight scenes though even without the Epic fights it'd still ... wait no althou gh there are relationships forming and peaceful negotiations to had the series would be nothing without it's Epic Epic fights and it's Epic superpowers and the way it's used.Without spoiling to those who haven't read it, but still to those who have read it, my favourite characters are the Simmurgh, Coil, Bonesaw ... I couldn't possibly list them all. A recommended read for sure..I apologize for this post, did it while being drunk s.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Well Not a lot new to report today other than that I have been up most of the night finishing bands of mourning. the Conclusion was good, though at the same time a trifle disappointing because unfortunately Sanderson's style is just feeling a bit samy now, particulalry his "Oh look, I will conveniently have a character get super powers" thing. Admitedly with sanderson he does setup where the super powers come from, but really I'd like a conclusion to one of his books actually be reached without! someone ganing godlike power through unexpected manipulations in the system. also, he is getting a little too blatant in terms of tying all the cosmia stuff together, particularly mistborn, stormlight and the world of warbreaker, though i suppose since Stormlight is sort of his magnum opus he would do that, still i'd rather he did it in the books themselves rather than having appendicies which are raather blatant adverts for other books he's written. I'll also confes sI'm a little narked by the fact that he's got a mistborn novella which isn't available in audio format, or at least not that I've been able to find which is annoying since there are some rather major questions left hanging which he's actively said are answered in it. Then again it was nice that in Bands of Mourning we actually saw more of the world and he continues to do interesting things with alamancy and science, and it was also nice to see a new perspective on things and new nation. Again not much else to report since I've mainly been busy with academic work thus far and not playing much by way of games, though I'll see about things today. I'm tempted to give lament mud a try since I fancy something a bit more strategic and longer planning than usual hack n slash type of affairs but I'll see. I also need to finish a book review for Dosgbody by diana wynne jones which my lady and I finished the other day, a book that literally involves sirius the dog star being put into the body of a dog. Very awesome, especially if your an animal lover.anyway, enough woffle from me currently methinks.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 So, I got my Mac Mini running MacOS again, thanks to the apple store. No, I'm not crawling back to Apple, I mainly, okay only, use it for Emacs, plus Emacspeak. Why not just use Linux? Because Espeak is going nowhere, Voxin I couldn't even get to work with Emacspeak, and eSpeak doesn't have the aural highlighting and stuff that like, every other speech server has. So Mac it is. So now, I think version 45 of Emacspeak has come out, and I'm dreading the git pulling, make configing, and make emacspeak'ing I'll have to do to get it, configure it, then build it. Yes, it'll only take around 10 minutes, hopefully, but I'm always afraid it'll fail and I'll be without Emacspeak at all. I know, I don't have much faith in tech to work for me, but Linux has always, always been mean to me, so I fear it's power to take away, even when I rejoice at it's power to give. I'm a newbie, I know.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 @Lord Lundin, English pronunciation with a rolled r in lord? there is no rolled r in English English. Sometimes with the scottish accent there is a slight one, and some upper class accents pronounce the r rather forward, but not in a word like lord, it just has that long aw sound pronounced at the front of the mouth rather than the American style one which sounds almost like lard, (being married to an American who's trying to acquire an English accent you get to know these things). Oh and yes, my lady does want to pick up an English accent because she prefers it, sometimes I do have fun teasing her that if she does that I'll have to start talking like a new York Gangster and put on my best maffia voice, "yeah, ya talkin' proppah just like what we does in nu yok or we gis ya da cemente overcoat!" ([[wow]], it's hard to write out phonetic ac cents). thanks for the congratulations. As to the middle finger, though Fyi, in the Uk the gesture is actually two fingers upwards like a backwards v sign. I do see your point, indeed I had to go and look up that topic where I made that postjust to see when it was, suffice it to say 2013 was not a good time for me . to be honest though I don't intrinsically disagree with what I said back there on a basic level, since the set of coincidences which bought myself and Mrs. Dark together are so wild and utterly outlandish that they pretty much hit every romantic cliche in the book, from me starting sentences with "I love ---" and finishing with "talking to you", even to her being with someone else at the time and us agreeing to be friends and then finding that that was simply impossible when we spent time together, but being tormented by t he fact that she was with someone else. There was a mad meeting at a train station (with a dramatically delayed train), and me organizing about the quickest plane flight to go and get engaged, heck, we nearly got married at an airport, though I'm glad we didn't and went for a propper wedding, albeit one with playing of the themes from jurassic park and cocoon and a cinderella style coach instead.It was in no way anything like the hole dating process is supposed to work, indeed I still! believe that process is inherently biased against men in general, and disabled men in particular. Good luck with your project and with Evina, though as I said I'm not really one to give advice on that subject other than don't be a scumbag, and hope to be very, very lucky indeed. University is worthwile, just as a good experience as I've said in other threads, quite aside from anything else, simply because that's where you tend to meet people who are a bit more open minded and inclined to be decent, or at least that's how it worked out for me.As to me well not much going on, i've got a lot of academic work on my thesis to do so haven't had much time for much else beyond reading books, arguing about accents and the wheel of time with Mrs. Dark (she's currently doing the reread on tor.com by Lee butler which is hilarious and very worth reading if your a Wot fan), and of course reading and writing reviews. i've moved on to bands of mourning, the sixth mistborn book and I'm finding it a vast improvement from shadows of self which I really didn't like much. Partly it was that the victorian style setting felt so familiar to me, me being a bit of a fan of victoriana, partly it was that I don't really like wax and wane as much as I did vin and elland, --- they're fun but i don't really feel as much attached to them, and partly it was that the book moved so slowly sazed basically had to show up half way through and tell the good guys the plot. When a book literally has to have god appear and tell everyone what the plot is things aren't going well, and even the reappearence of Tensoon from the original series didn't help too much here. That being said,t he end of shadows of self was rather good, though the very blatant "look! this is the series setup, see, this is a mysterious clue, look it's mysterious!" was a bit overdone. Bands of mourning however is going really well, the characters are actually developing, and the plot is moving on and has even exited that one city of elandel. It's one of my problems with sanderson's writing that he sticks nearly all of a book's plot in one place, even if he has a huge world, and in books like the first mistborn novel or elantris it can make things really drab, one reason why I still think Stormlight is his best work. Bands of mourning h owever goes elsewhere, and indeed travels more than that, which is nice. So today I don't know, more work to do, though i'd like to try and checkout some of the blindfold games if i have time, since they really! need more db pages. I actually feel rather guilty since Marty shultz has been doing a great job at bringing the things out, i've enjoyed the game's I've played (especially the arcade ones), but
Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Well ... looks like I'm not gonna get shitfaced anytime soon since last time I decided to drink my sorrows away was a few weekends ago, at 4 in the morning, and I drained half a jack in one hour and ended up crying to people on skype about how horrible of a human being I was Next day was also really... interesting. I'll spare you the grusome details though needless to say eating about 5 forks of my dinner took me probably about 20 minutes.So while I do enjoy a glass every now and then I have settled to writing this post as I prepare my breakfast (eggs and home baked bread (it was baked yesterday)) on a plane and cold monday morning.Also all of these parentheses really get me confused Lord Lundin isn't really all that interesting tbh. I wish I had a much more interesting history to it. It is simply one of my sirnames (my full name being Andreas Tony Andersson Lundin).I wanted a nice black metal nick and thought about Count Grishnak (AKA Varg Vikernes). Now obviously Count Lundin just doesn't sound right when you say it, and besides I know someone would eventually be clever and wipe the o from my name ... So thus came Lord Lundin, however saying it with an american accent makes it sound extremely dull, so everytime I say it, even though my accent is influenced mostly by americans, I always make sure to pronounce the word Lord with the well known brittish o and a increased rolling r.And there is my story that I could've made into just one line by saying my last name is Lundin, but yeah I like to be dramatic.Dark, I'd like to congratulate you on your marriage while at the same time giving you a symbolic middle finger.(quote=Dark)Personally Andrias I'd advise giving up on the hole thing (something I wish I'd done when i was eighteen). Ultimately society just makes things difficult for men, since it's always men who must make the first move while women have all the power to accept or reject, which if your shy, and still worse if your visually impared means your pretty much without a hope. I've fallen in love several times and most often the experience is just as you describe, feeling as if my head was exploding but unable to say anything, even though the girls I fell for were always friends I'd spent time with, even up to last year, indeed if I could stop myself feeling that I way I would. of course, this might just be me and my circumstances, but still I'd advise not getting to invested in hoping something will work out because Hoping is wo rse in the long run.(/quote)I was right! I did tell you, don't give up!Well as for my own success as of late, I did finish "swedish highschool" or as it's literally called over here, "gymnasium" So I took a year's break from it all, now I'm home playing games, chilling and in fact being rather bored of it. The other day I did discuss with an older friend of mine about a possible project I might be drawn into regarding game development (he's currently trying to learn it with another friend of his he hasn't introduced me to yet)If I get drawn into that then that'll of course take up a lot of my time and I really hope to be involved with this thing. I have the inteligence for it, and the ideas. (or as I could say: "i hav d inteligense 4 it & i hav d ideeas") I'm solly lacking in motivation though, someone to brainstorm with.Alright we were talking about women, sorry to get side tract with all this boring talk of game developments and my life So at the day of my graduation, a girl named Evina (for heavens sake not to be confused with Elvina) ran up to me and started talking. We both have been working side by side in the advanced english corse so this was nothing unusual.Well, other than the fact that she pretty openly started flirting with me right there and then (I suspect the slight intoxication by alcohol that everyone was affected by on that day might've helped). She complimented me on my english skills, my improvisation skills and my looks (ooo yeah baby). She handed her phone to a friend of mine and as ked him to take pictures of us as we posed with arms around one another. Then she told me she wished to see me again and had to ran out because her class (read, group of students) was called to march out for the official recognision of their graduation. Our own class followed soon.Things did not end there, however, for a couple of months ago we went out one evening to a nice local restaurant, had an amazing italian pizza and just talked for a few hours over a few drinks. Wonderful evening.Currently though, she got a job in another town along with her own apartment there, so casual goings out are unlikely to happen.Which reminds me I should probably respond to her on Facebook since last I remember we were messaging about her new job etc.Alright that's enough with women for now, and with that I guess we end this ... oh wait who am I kidding? My sis is currently taking up the kit
Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Well ... looks like I'm not gonna get shitfaced anytime soon since last time I decided to drink my sorrows away was a few weekends ago, at 4 in the morning, and I drained half a jack in one hour and ended up crying to people on skype about how horrible of a human being I was Next day was also really... interesting. I'll spare you the grusome details though needless to say eating about 5 forks of my dinner took me probably about 20 minutes.So while I do enjoy a glass every now and then I have settled to writing this post as I prepare my breakfast (eggs and home baked bread (it was baked yesterday)) on a plane and cold monday morning.Also all of these parentheses really get me confused Lord Lundin isn't really all that interesting tbh. I wish I had a much more interesting history to it. It is simply one of my sirnames (my full name being Andreas Tony Andersson Lundin).I wanted a nice black metal nick and thought about Count Grishnak (AKA Varg Vikernes). Now obviously Count Lundin just doesn't sound right when you say it, and besides I know someone would eventually be clever and wipe the o from my name ... So thus came Lord Lundin, however saying it with an american accent makes it sound extremely dull, so everytime I say it, even though my accent is influenced mostly by americans, I always make sure to pronounce the word Lord with the well known brittish o and a increased rolling r.And there is my story that I could've made into just one line by saying my last name is Lundin, but yeah I like to be dramatic.Dark, I'd like to congratulate you on your marriage while at the same time giving you a symbolic middle finger.(quote=Dark)Personally Andrias I'd advise giving up on the hole thing (something I wish I'd done when i was eighteen). Ultimately society just makes things difficult for men, since it's always men who must make the first move while women have all the power to accept or reject, which if your shy, and still worse if your visually impared means your pretty much without a hope. I've fallen in love several times and most often the experience is just as you describe, feeling as if my head was exploding but unable to say anything, even though the girls I fell for were always friends I'd spent time with, even up to last year, indeed if I could stop myself feeling that I way I would. of course, this might just be me and my circumstances, but still I'd advise not getting to invested in hoping something will work out because Hoping is worse in the long run.(/quote)I was right! I did tell you, don't give up!Well as for my own success as of late, I did finish "swedish highschool" or as it's literally called over here, "gymnasium" So I took a year's break from it all, now I'm home playing games, chilling and in fact being rather bored of it. The other day I did discuss with an older friend of mine about a possible project I might be drawn into regarding game development (he's currently trying to learn it with another friend of his he hasn't introduced me to yet)If I get drawn into that then that'll of course take up a lot of my time and I really hope to be involved with this thing.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 @Game creator, good luck with the production, that sounds pretty awesome. @Lord Lundin, feel free to come and chatter away, that's what this topic is for, for a start I'd love to kno what "lundin" means. When I first saw your name I wondered of course if it was related to "london", the capital of England, but I don't think so . As to things up here, well they continue very cold and somewhat hechtic due to me having lots of work to do, that's why the db has had to take a miner back seat and I've not been able to play as much game wise as I liked or even get back to timecrest. Needless to say, mrs. Dark was pretty appauled at the news from America the other day and spent a considerable time going "oh god!" in fairness she wasn't much of a fan of Hillary Clinton either, she deliberately didn' t register to vote when we were over there since honestly she thought it was a choice of evils. We've now taken to adopting the phrase "it's trumps fault!" for anything that goes wrong just because we probably ought to start now . Btw, I was sort of horrified when I read an interview with hilary on the bbc website where she basically praised Trump to high heaven and said he was like "a good hearted king" Some varient of "well I'm disappointed I didn't win but good luck to the man" would've been gracious, but honestly the complete turn around and absolute twofacedness of this one really! shocked me, for goodness sake! 24 hours ago she was slinging every bit of mud at the man she could get her hands on! For myself, well this just confirms what I've always believed, the world is run by coorporati ons for their own prophet, glad everyone can see that now.In happier news, I finished midnight and banged out a review which will hopefully appear soon. i'm afraid that while there was much I liked, there was a significant amount I didn't, especially the major sermons on the niceness of life and the descent of characters into cliche. I'll post the link to my review when it gets put up. right now I'm reading one of the nebular awards collections, which is great for short stories and sf fiction, though seeing reports of people compalining about films like back to the future 3 is sort of depressing given how standard the film industry went these days. Anyway, hope everyone else is having fun.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Hel¨lo There, i think there's a year sinse i came there to speak and say Hi. But lots of things, very encouraging things to me as lifechangers and inspirational ones i'll say. To start, back when i was 21 years old i remember i said that was my lucky year (Because is the number of black jack). And yes it was! I recorded and produced for first time ever an original song and got paid. Not much (licke 10 dollars or less), and i got a bit noticed. Here i discovered that music is my way to go. Time by time i released a new electro dance/trance song (which at the moment had some good feedback where i decided to share it (mostly with friends)). And there's something i'm very proud of it, i just recently bought a pair of nice descent and (as i understand), tagged as professional headfones and a professional microfone too. With that, for me, its a great step into this field, because i alwais dreamed some years ago those things which i am living right now. So i am super eccited because i am about to graduate as a teacher, thus i'll get a job and i will slowly get what i need to become more professional in this subject.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 @Phil, I'm not really sure on the film. Cursed child was okay, but a bit of a love letter to the series and I'm a little worried with what might become of hp without Rowling's influence (while I enjoyed cursed child, it was obviously not entirely Rowling). Still, we'll see, though prequals have rarely lived up to the originals :d. I'm now reading Midnight by dean koontz, which is interesting since on the one hand I'm loving the horror, on the other the rather heavy handed characterization is getting a bit much, really being told "You wil like this character because they are a nice person" is way too much, still since I intend to review the book I'll save my judgements until later. It's now bloody cold, we're horribly busy, and! as everyone will have noticed the site went down which is annoying. Just to cheer things up, tonight probably involves chilly and the deathly hallows film . Anyway, hope everyone is doing okay on this cold and dismal autumn, well at least it is round here .

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film premieres November 18, 2018The year is 1926, and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, amisplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds."The Magical Strudel in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, just Raises Too Many Questionskinja.com/katharinetrendacostaKatharine TrendacostaOctober 28, 2016 Friday 6:00pmNothing has frustrated us more than this new clip from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which shows Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol) magicking upa strudel. We’re in full blown magical theory debate here, guys.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_CfCUlJsRwIn all seriousness, this clip has me and James Whitbrook (our resident Brit) completely up in arms. I hate Queenie’s creepy way of talking and the almostsexual look on the face of Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler). But mainly, we’re angry about the magic.At least this thing didn’t forget Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration, which says food can’t just be made with magic. All the ingredients are there.But what was going to happen if Newt had said he wanted pie, huh? Do they have both pie dough and pastry just lying around so they can do whichever trick?Also, that seems like an awful lot of shit that isn’t apple being put in that strudel. We were particularly perplexed by how this thing was baked. Because, like, is there a super fast baking spell that we just don’t know about? Shouldn’t shehave said a spell so that we, the audience, could follow that she was doing that? Because we have seen Molly Weasley cook, and she used magic and alsoa stove. So explain, movie. Is there a specific “assemble and bake an apple strudel” spell? And if so, why?But seriously, where is the MOISTURE?!?! I see steam at the end. I don’t know much about strudel, but shouldn’t the apples be coated in brown sugar and some kinda wettness or something? Those apple surfaces look real dry James offered the very British pronouncement that “Mary Berry wouldn’t approve of this mid-air bake nonsense. Just saying.” He also thinks that this clip ruins the possibility that there’s a wizarding version of The Great British Bake Off.

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 Ouch Cae, the wonders of what to do post course. I can't help with the nfb training course thingy, as that's not something I've done, but I do sympathise with lack of direction, god knows what my lady and I will be up to when my thesis is finished. On the plus side there is always the fun prospect of picking up short random projects which you basically hope might be useful, for example my rosemary and rue review is now live and may be read herewhich has quite an abnormal amount of woffling from me on the subject of urban fantasy tropes.I've also just sent off my review for Catchfire by Graham dunston martin, which was surprisingly fun.If I were feeling diligent I'd now do some work for the site, in particular entries for some newer games like timecrest, but I'll probably just go and play crazy party instead .

Re: Monthly chat november 2016
Re: Monthly chat november 2016 My computer finally seems to work again.(I finally got a braille display to test the braille output in Redsword and apparently the middle line disappears after you walk off the first platform. )So they're still saying my LCB graduation date is in February, even though I could finish everything by the end of this month (sooner if I'd been able to do more than two things in the kitchen for the past 2 months).I need to do an out-of-town assignment, which means I need to find somewhere to go where I don't know anyone and haven't ever been, and the only place I can think of that doesn't sound like a waste of time is Aspoo, Finland. Which is way too expensive.I don't remember the last time I accomplished anything outside of training This is not the training's fault, mind.I don't know what to do next!

Monthly chat november 2016
Monthly chat november 2016 Yes, it is the first of the month and everyone knows what that means, a new monthly chat topic for your enjoyment. Feel free to talk about anything and everything going on in your life, or your death if you happen to be living impared, we have no prejudices against vampires, zombies, ghouls or other persons of a none living nature here, we may shoot you and steak you and end your unholy parody of existance and your foul feast upon human flesh, but we're not prejudiced!Well things continue with me. Last night being halloween I introduced my lady to the jeff Wane war of the worlds which she'd not heard before, since while martians aren't exactly traditional halloween fare, they're certainly creepy enough. I'm pleased to say she liked. Also i'm writing my next review, this one for catchfire by graham dunston martin. I was particularly amused that when I tried to find reviews of catchfire I found my own review of the first book, Gif twish instead, so methinks it needs a review particularly because martin's style is rather good. Being both halloween and also something I've been wanting to do for a while, i started the big finish audio drama of dracula last night, which is really surprisingly good, though I don't remember Lucy being quite as unpleasant, accepting marriage proposals from three men then casually choosing the one who's a lord, --- and rich, and handsome! and that's before she gets vampirised. Still Bf are doing a great job of the thing as I expected (I loved their adaptation of frankenstein), Renfield particularly is awesome, and I forgot just how unhinged Jonathan Harker actually goes in the book it being quite a long time since I last read it.when i've finished this I might polish off the last thus far mistborn book bands of mourning,though really I was quite disappointed by shadows of self, particularly since sazed had to literally turn up a nd set the plot moving since things were progressing so slowly. As to other matters, I've unfortunately got lots of work to do on what is hopefully the final draught of my thesis, and as usual games to play. I have recently very much been enjoying Crazy Party, especially the online mode and battles since some of the new cards are awesome, besides, I didn't get through all the gyms. I do wonder about a few principles of dec management since I'd really like the ability to have one dec per element type, but we'll see, I've just finished acquiring all the grass cards.I also need to put together some more db entries, particularly for Erionmud which i've been playing recently, though in between all of that my lady and I are doing the harry potter films, we've got up to halfblood prince thus far, and will do deathly hallows this week. So life continues horribly busy and full of stuff for me as per usual. How's everyone else going ?
