I can haz Wii!

Did I already say that here? I don't think so. But I confess that pretty much all I did all weekend was slay monsters and fight beasts with my invisible Sword of Wii. It was THE BEST WEEKEND EVER!!!!!

Also, the Lego Batman Game is the funniest thing in the history of ever. Because Batman is so totally grumpy and badass and TheGoddamnBatman, whilst simultaneously being a small Lego figure. And because I'm crap at the game, he keeps dying, and making a really pissed off "Uhhh!" sound every time he falls off something due to my incompetence. Also because I am crap at the game, I randomly go and beat up Lego!Robin from time to time, just for the catharsis.

(Mind you, Robin is a bit pathetic and incompetent. So I have concluded he isn't Dick, but don't know which Robin he might be. Maybe he's just TV!Robin? Don't know. But Lego!Batman is made of win!!!)

I felt bad about being crap at Tombraider, because Lara kept dying, and she's so competent, and I'm so not competent-making, and I felt like I kept letting Angelina Jolie down. Which, since I fancy her, was a bit conflicty.

So I'm sticking to the SWORDS: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors game, and slaying the hell out of every monster in sight with my invisible sword. Go me! (I have high hopes of the Zelda game.)

I'm going to a viewing.

d, that is a very supportive and caring thing for you to do.

To all the DCistas, whether out and about, wrangling my kid's favorite kid, or camped out in the basement (I see you there Sparky), may your day be bright and not to snarled.

Happy New President Day everyone.

Mind you, Robin is a bit pathetic and incompetent. So I have concluded he isn't Dick, but don't know which Robin he might be.

NONE of the Robins are pathetic and incompetent! t /Robin apologist

Although Jason Todd is a bit of a psycho.

Shir! Your report makes me happy, that there haven't been rockets. Woo! And might I add, Hoo!

The whole idea of neti pots makes my nose itch. I'm sure they're very refreshing, but....ew! Water up nose!

They are weird. But once you get what angle to hold your head to allow the water to drain out properly without going down the back of the throat, it's more or less a good weird. The results are definitely good enough to overcome any lingering icky-weird. YnetipotMV. I find it highly pleasant compared to the home remedy for cleaning out sinuses taught to me as a child by my Ears, Nose and Throat man (I didn't have a pediatrician, I had an ENT). His solution was to make a paste of equal parts salt, baking soda and hot water, and then snort it. Very, very effective for cleaning out one's sinuses. But please do not try it unless you are very desperate. It will clean out your sinuses. Let's be very clear about that. But you won't like me anymore, nay, you will hate me, curse my name, and question my parentage for at least 5 minutes after you do it. Whereas you get very similar results with a neti pot, only with less swearing.

By the way, for those of you using prepackaged salt and baking soda measures, if you find it stings at all, you may need to break away from the prepackaged stuff, and experiment with the amounts and proportions due to variations in the mineral content of your local water supply.

Yeah, I just got home from work a little bit ago. It's not the coworker's spleen that's getting operated on, but her son's. Which is probably better for us in that she will be back to work rather sooner than if she were recouperating from surgery, but not better for her, I think. ~ma for Trent would be a lovely thing, please and thank you.

I see you there Sparky

~ma for Trent

that is a very supportive and caring thing for you to do.

That poor mom is in so much shock. She asked me when she'd be able to feel anything because it just seems like a weird dream. I'm sure part of that is because they don't know how or why he died. The funeral home was packed during the viewing; he apparently made an impression on everyone he met.

On the plus side for me, I finally got to meet all the siblings and parents so I can put faces to names. /selfish

Spleen-ma for Trent.

Dick Cheney hurt his back looting moving out and will be in a wheelchair at the inaugural.

I suppose it's not good to simply not show up on your last day.

NONE of the Robins are pathetic and incompetent!

No, I rather thought as much. I think we must blame it on the transmogrification ray that has rendered them all in Lego form. Clearly it has fucked with Robin's competence and cool. Albeit to hilarious effect.

...no, no, I haven't just spent a couple of hours slaying slime monsters and flying jellyfish and animated suits of armour. Why do you ask?

Ahem.

Also, note to self: you cannot play around with writing fic before leaving the flat to get to school. That leads to being half an hour late to school. BAD teacher! No cookie!

So why do we think Cheney is actually in a wheel chair?

Signed,

On the Infinitely Small Chance the Government Doesn't Spring for Movers, I'm Pretty Sure Cheney Has The Ducats to Cover it Himself.

So why do we think Cheney is actually in a wheel chair?

I just posted this in Natter:

His human shell started to break down a day early.
