Marlo: Please keep us posted. You know we’ll be pulling for you. How long will you be recovering in the hospital? We can send you flowers or something to cheer you up!
Ditto, they tell me a week long recovery is typical. But, you know, I don’t expect to be typical.
The surgery itself is classed as day surgery, which means, again, if it goes right, they send you home late the same day. Like most surgery now, you’re expected to do the recovery at home.
I don’t need flowers. They’re sweet and pretty, but they won’t help anybody. If you want to do something nice for me, donate to the humane society.
Mass Effect? It rocked! I would consider it one of the best games I’ve played. I ended up killing Ashley in a suicide mission and that had me bummed. But I ended up having some quality time with the blue alien girl. LOL Also, I elected to let the council die, which was satisfying. ;)
The problem is I want to go back and replay it with different choices to see how it changes, but I understand Mass Effect 2 will take in account the choices you made in Mass Effect 1 to tell the next chapter.
I’m definately going to go back and replay it. Most likely I’ll go back to a saving point where I can save Ashley and save the council. And I may go back to the begining a play a total asshole, just to see how diffenent the character interaction is. LOL But before I do that, I want to finish all my Neverwinter games. That will take a while. :)
I don’t know anything about these games (are the PC of game consol thingies) but your posts have made me wonder what would happen if you did something totally out of character. If you played “nice” for half the game and then just did something totally random and heinous would it confuse the game?
You can get Mass Effect in a PC or console thingy version. :)
I would think of Mass Effect as a computerized version of a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book. There’s a story tree so the choices you make at the very beginning have a bigger impact on the overall story. However, Mass Effect seemed to put most of the plot changing choices towards the back.
I know the Pumpkin Masters site has a few decent free .pdf stencils. I’m pretty sure the family crafts section of About.com also leads to some good resources.

Van: Fortunately, that’s the only disappointing episode of Life. The rest are much better.
I am now caught up on Season 1 of Chuck and can finally start watching Season 2.

They take donations of food, toys, and such, as well. You can check with your local one, to see if they do the same.
Will do, Marlo.
Fuck.
Message on the machine from the hospital. Morons fucking LOST my blood.
WTF are they doing there?!!!!
They better goddamn FIND it.

That sucks, as do vampires. I hope things work out Marlo.

Interesting take on journalistic bias in election coverage.
Ah, true kindred souls…
After cussing, my first thought was also vampires…
Being this close to Halloween I figured someone had nicked the blood for a party effect.
Then again I am tipsy. Sample a bottle of my first ever batch of home brewed beer. An “Octoberfest” ale.
tasty and wow … what a punch!
Look out, Joe is liable to start dancing on the tables….
…which, I guess, is really no different from any other day…
Oktoberfest is my favorite month.
Is that for the beer or the leather pants?
Morning Pan, today I’m like a plumber that has forgotten his toolbox.
It’s actually for the hoppy pants and the leather beer.
So why are you like a plumber without a toolbox, Vanamonde?
Just say no to crack, Van.
I had forgotten a piece of electronic equipment I use for work.
Yeah reality is much more mundane…
Morning Pan.
“a plumber that has forgotten his toolbox” isn’t that the plot to most porno films?
Re: “Oktoberfest is my favorite month.”
curiously enough, it is MY favorite flavor.
Take me to you leaderhosen.
Queue the Ompahpah music!
Prosit!!!
Margo: That really sucks. The vamps should just go to the blood bank instead of swiping your blood.

You maybe surprised at the lack of negativity…
So anybody played Dead Space? and if so what did you think of it.
I haven’t played Dead Space, but I’ve heard really good things about it. I’ll probably buy a copy after my finacial situation improves.
Van: One of my gamer friends says its the best game so far this year.
Rhettro: Cool. I need to replay the game soon.
I’m definately going to go back and replay it. Most likely I’ll go back to a saving point where I can save Ashley and save the council.

And, obviously, my blood is unusually tasty.
zero punctuation is down again. Shocking. The escapist wants traffic, but they refuse to do anything to actually handle the traffic.

I’m running out of podcasts to listen too (again), time to check out Wolf’s list for ideas…

Anyone here have a favorite site for Pumpkin carving patterns?
I am too busy to design my own this year :(
Just want to pick one and go at it!
Can’t say I have a favorite site, but googling “pumpkin carving patterns” yields a lot of hits.
I know the Pumpkin Masters site has a few decent free .pdf stencils. I’m pretty sure the family crafts section of About.com also leads to some good resources.
Pictures when they’re finished, J0e!
Thanks Jack (O-Lantern)
I found this site as well

pretty need ideas
Hmmm, I wonder how the cupcake girls would go about making a Jack-o-lantern ?
Indiana Jim I already listen to Rhettro, I’ll give the others a try.
Was Turnips when I was a lad, some years we would nick them from a nearby farmer’s field…the turnips that is.
Well one of the ladies looks like she is good at scooping.
I’m guessing something like this JOe.
