This new protein shake I'm using is giving me horrendous gas. I have never farted so much in in so short a time in my entire life.
 
My older brother just posted a link to a Tim Buckley blog post about Thor, quoting it as "From someone who's smarter than I am."

I just... what?

No wonder he and I have never been close.

My co-worker is the best! He brings me a carton of eggs from his farm every other week. I don't know why it makes me so excited, but it does. It's just such a nice gesture and saves me the money of buying eggs altogether. He's so nice! :D

I get pregnancy update texts from my sister in law. Is it mean to not care? I'm more of a no-news-is-good-news person. Don't really need the "everything's fine and daddy is excited" notification every month. At least it's not every day.

Hugs! Lots of hugs, sounds a lot like with my gf's sister's pregancy, and all the updates we now get from the proud grandparents...

Also, an honourable mention to this one:


Sometimes, too much is simply too much.
 
I'll concur and add wedding updates. Between you and me, I wasn't thrilled to get the invitation. I don't need any more info than that, thanks.
 
Throwing into this the dinner conversation gf's parents once had about how or why one of her cousins didn't have her period yet. I think said cousin was 15 or so at that time. My lady had to chime in of course how she also was a late bloomer but was on schedule from the first time on...
 
Dang. I mentored an undergrad this summer. At the poster session at the end of his 10 week rotation, I was realized the title of his poster said "Accessing variants..." instead of "Assessing variants..." I spent two and a half hours editing all the science bits, and this stupid mistake is what folks are going to remember. 3 separate people looked over the poster before it was printed.

I realized it was incorrect during the poster session while he was telling me what a great summer he had. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he wasn't going to win.

For me it's bathroom updates. Sure, we pretended to be excited while you were potty training, but we don't need to know the reason you left the room if it's because you're visiting the bathroom.

I'm very proud to announce that I also went pee pee all by myself today. Thought you'd be interested.

It's funny, my niece has started clapping for me every time I leave the bathroom now that she's been trained. She's trying to form a support group I think.
 
You know how kids have imaginary friends? I mean, Jet used to have an imaginary friend but he doesn't anymore.

Oh no.

Now he has an imaginary army AND an imaginary group of villians he simply calls The Evil Masters.

I thought I'd entertain you with the goings on in his rapidly expanding personal universe.

Jet: Jets role is apparently ever changing. Some times he is a Prince, other times the king of a 'lost country' or the Lead Hero. Maybe they are all the same role, I dunno. Anyways, one thing remains constant, his power. He can apparently take things from books, movies and TV shows to use as 'upgrades' for different parts of his army. He uses my Art books (Hyrule Historia, Guillermo Del torosCabinet of Curiotsity, The Sky, etc.) and pretend to snatch cool monsters or weapons from the page to be given to....

The Weaponer: Apparently a man as big as a tree. He has a fire pit that he uses to make weapons and create the monsters Jet gives him. He has a beard made of smoke because he has spent so much time standing over his fire pit and can't see very well but he KNOWS he's making the right things. All weapons go to the Army. Monsters go to...

The Tamers: A group of girls with red hair and "big butts". They have whips for real mean monsters but he claims they can mostly sing to a monster and it will calm them. Each Tamer trains a monster to be good and fearless. The Tamers don't have boyfriends but "they really like each other mommy so they don't NEED boyfriends." Once the monsters are tamed and the Weapons are made they go to...

The Army: The Army is apparently made up of 'the best people ever like fire fighters and cops and doctors!' and robots. There are different groups of the army but I'm not too clear on what they are. He talks to them from the front step of our house and gives them speeches on their objectives. Some times he's influenced by things on TV or things he hears on the morning news when I listen to it ("Today we are building a house for the family who had theirs burn down! Firemans! You lead!"). However, most of the time is spent fighting....

The Evil Masters: A group of people or creatures with different powers led by a person Jet refers to as 'Evil Jet'. They live at the end of a maze deep under ground. There's a large black door at the end of the maze that closes behind you, trapping you forever and making you one of them. They whisper bad things in peoples ears from their home and rarely surface.

Whew. There's more to this but I thought it was kind of cool. He has this whole world in his head!

Welp, I'm sold. Six seasons and a movie for Jet Vs The Evil Masters.

I especially like this part:

Each Tamer trains a monster to be good and fearless. The Tamers don't have boyfriends but "they really like each other mommy so they don't NEED boyfriends."

Noah has something like this going on, too. It's a game he, Lily, and some neighbor kids (who recently moved :( ) would play called Wizard Quest. They're wizards who, along with the Golden Knights, fight the evil Dragon Knights. There is also a faction that he named The Brotherhood that are like a cross between mercs and pirates. He's given the characters all kinds of made up names though my favorite is Lily's wizard Saewen which is pronounced like Say When.
 
This is the 100th anniversary of the English Involvement in WWI.

I thought I'd share what I've said elsewhere about my view of the war.

"I don't really know what it is about WWI that just tears my heart out. Maybe it was my great uncle who was a marine in the war, who was shot and gassed for his purple hearts. And the Silver Star he was awarded driving an ambulance when he was no longer fit for front line duty. He kept a thirsty, wounded comrade alive by giving him the blood in the bottom of the wagon to drink, to quench the thirst and to keep him quiet while under fire."

I mean I have a hard time watching any WWI movie, especially A River Runs Through It, Warhorse, Paths of Glory... etc.

It really worries me that we have a good chance at waging war in Ukraine, Iraq and North Korea if things get any worse.
 
A guy is messaging my cosplay page on facebook asking me if I will cosplay Supergirl for him.

Let's see how this plays out.




UPDATE:
Apparently not cosplaying Supergirl is okay, BUT do I have any costumes with capes?


UPDATE!! :D
Do I like to wear capes? Sure?
IS A CAPE FETISH A THING! This might be a thing.


UPDATE:
OMG...do I have blankets or materials to make a cape, since I like them?


What is thissss??

UPDATE:
OH. HEh, he called me Miss.


UPDATE:
We're just going in circles now.


UPDATE....
AH, here we go. Send him a picture when I wear a cape.


UPDATE:
Oh, you want to sketch me while wearing a cape?

I don't even.


UPDATE:
Ohh, it's for your class you say?
HA!


UPDATE:
And now comes the pleading after my decline.


UPDATE:
Oh, what do I mean?

I mean that if you want reference pictures of someone in a cape there are HUNDREDS of pictures online, there's no need for me to do so for you.
Silly boy.


UPDATE:
OH! OH! I got a crying face. Could this be the end???

I think, and I'm not trying to be creepy, but I think what I would've done if I were that guy would be to say, "Hi, sorry to bother you, but have you ever cosplayed Supergirl? It's just that based on your look and past cosplay pictures, I think you'd make an awesome Supergirl. Anyway, you do great work, keep it up!"

And then hopefully that'd inspire Kags to wear a Supergirl outfit, and post it.

... Why do I still feel like I'm being creepy?
