Made an impulse decision this week, to pick up the Miami Defense and Sammy Watkins... 

Turned it into a gain of 50 points, just enough to essentially seal the victory (as long as Demarco Murray manages to gain more than ten yards tomorrow night.)

Held a Murder Mystery party for my birthday tonight with like 16 people. -Everyone- rocked up fully kitted out as their characters with serious effort obviously having gone into it.

And even though none of them are RP type people they all really got into it and it turned out to be really awesome evening!

My feet hurt and I'm buggered though!

@tibitha post pix and/or details pls

Sadly I'm terrible at remembering to take photos of stuff!

But it was a 1920s Mafia party, set in a Speak Easy / Brothel in Chicago. Everyone was assigned a character beforehand and given a short bio. There was so much drama going on between characters! As an example the main guy Don left his exwife Vicky about a month ago to marry Carrie but he was already having an affair with Donna while Carrie was having one with Al (Capone of course) and Vicky's sleeping with the Congressman.

Don dies but not after pissing off pretty much everyone else there.

There was no scripts, just prompts such as "ask the Baroness if her earrings are as fake as her title" and LOTS of secrets.

Halfway through I handed out 4 weapons oh and people also had play money. 3 more people died (and I got to scream my head off!)

In the end the inspector turned out the richest as he was stealing all the cash from the dead bodies.  and one guy made it mission to pretty much try kill everyone.

It was hilarious and awesome and my friends were all amazing!

An interesting discovery that is totally rave worthy.  A benefit of living in a new estate that is being developed and new houses being built, along with the weather warming up as we edge closer to summer...the tradesmen like to work with their shirts off.  My morning runs now have an additional benefit.

Today I have been simultaneously pleased and appalled by the existence of an Aphex Twin - Taylor Swift mashup. And it's actually fun.

Basically all I know of Aphex Twin is "Come to Daddy" and the associated video, so when I read this, my brain just tried to combine Taylor Swift with this guy:


Works pretty well, I think.

Someone reminded me of online karaoke party today, so I decided to do some karaoke tonight with a bunch of Achaea people who gamely joined in on Skype.

Turns out @Mishgul is a very entertaining singer. I couldn't stop laughing at the beginning and before I knew it, the first song was halfway through.

Pretty fun though!

My annual performance review went really well.

I don't ever do Halloween stuff because us Commonwealthies reject the fatcat capitalist pigdog influence of the American oppressors (unless it's an excuse to get drunk), but someone on my street sent around a little flier with a balloon attached saying that some kids wanted to trick or treat and to please hang up the balloon if we were willing to capitulate. Aww. So I got just inspired enough to half-ass some decorations.

I present: spooky satanic sigils.

That ain't no spooky sigils! That looks almost exactly like Tolkien sigils -eyes- are you joshing me good sir? ARE YOU A HOBBIT?

It's Elder Furthark, the runic alphabet Achaea's Runelore was based on. Probably some Tolkien stuff too, idk. Translate it for a spooky message!

I know you won't translate it. That's hagalaz, ansuz, pertho x2, ingwaz, h, a, laguz x2, othala, wunjo, ehwaz x2, and naudiz. The message is "happng halloween".

Xith

Which is like orgasming in the middle of a holiday greeting?
"Happng--"

Kenway

Got into my first choice of college. Thatisall.

Congratulations @Kenway‌ !!!

I have... no idea where to post this.

I started out rooting for the All Blacks (Southern Hemisphere wooh!) but now I just feel bad. Come on Eagles! You can score! I believe in yooouuuu!

Holy shit, gas is (just barely) less than $3 a gallon again.

Iocun

That's so ridiculously cheap compared to what it costs around Europe.

Yeah, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw gas prices yesterday. When I was working two Fridays ago (so just over a week ago), the price had hit $3.02, much to my surprise. I commented to the boyfriend about it, and he was like "Yeah, but gas'll never get below $3 here anyway."

Shit you not, coming home from work yesterday and we passed by a gas station - price was $2.78. I nearly fell out of my seat and then I got to taunt the boyfriend about it. It was glorious.

But dropping 24 cents in just a week, holy cow.

They are pacifying us for the $1.24 holiday hike.

I'm jealous. Cheapest gas around here is still $3.31.

Gas falls this time of year every year. Minus 2010.

Wessux

$2.55. Tennessee for the win.

When I was in Paris in February it was like $45 a gallon. How do people drive?

Saeva

I flipped out when I found gas for 3.09 here in Cali two days ago. That's unheard of. It's been around 3.80-4.50 since I've lived out here. Definitely filled up.

Zii

But having the power to walk away.

Bye guys.

Aw, c'mon. Won't be so bad.
