i'm cooking the veggies and valuing myself! ([personal profile] themeletor) wrote2005-05-02 04:05 pm

(no subject)

First off, may I just say that leaving one's Winamp on list repeat as a matter of principle can be, at best, a double-edged sword? There are alarm clocks, and then there is King Henry shouting at Lord Scroop. Sam, I do love you, but your Furious Voice is not something nice with which to wake a girl. And [livejournal.com profile] commodorified, I do love you, but Sam West's Furious Voice is not something nice with which to wake a girl.

In short, I nearly shat a brick.


Onward, however, onward and ever onward. So for your information, edification, and elucidation (alliteration!)--
My excuses for not being around all of Saturday include: not waking up till noon, Tradewinds II, gardening / shanty-singing, The Wrong War / The Frogs and the Lobsters, pirate cards, and Napoleon.
My excuses for not being around most of Sunday include: St. James' choir and My Fair Lady dressing-rooms.

Speaking of My Fair Lady, I would like to relate a single, succinct fact.
I don't know how he managed, but [livejournal.com profile] john_ward513 played such a perfectly incredible Mr. Alfred P. Doolittle that I believe if my circumstances and self-control were not what they are I would be wanting him back (P.S. John, do not get bigheaded about this because I will smack you).



And now I to catchup, writing, iconning or studying, though I know not at the moment which.

Oooh, I've got some of them pirate cards *bounce* [livejournal.com profile] susan_dreams gave me them *grin* Actually, I think most of me pirate-y online friends have a pack, so we should get together sometime ;-)

btw, I think those are all particularly valid excuses for not being around most of the weekend :-)

Ooooh, which do you have?

[identity profile] tiggothy.livejournal.com 2005-05-02 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I have one pack of the "Spanish Main" set with... umm... *digs them out of the treasure chest* island, coins... ooh, plague!, 3-masted ship Pandora, 3-masted ship HMS Wycliffe, captain El Fantasma & ghost crew, and a random explorer...
...and one pack of the "Crimson Coast" cards which has... Vicomtesse Angelique de Richelieu, single-master Rover, and island with a fog bank on the other side (?), coins, a musketeer, and 4-masted ship Eagle

:-D yay! shipses!

[identity profile] meletor-et-al.livejournal.com 2005-05-02 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I... have none of those.

.::pulls fleet over::.

Treasure; islands/terrain (that's what the fog bank is - a terrain piece), clearly... the Vicomte Jules de Cissey, who is an utter fop; a random pirate captain of no name; French chainshot specialist; Spanish musketeer; and the inquisitor Sebastian Blanco.

Ships: the French schooner Cleopatre, 3-masted ghost ship Amity, 3-masted pirate ship La Morte de Yarborough, 2-masted HMS Alexander, 3-masted HMS Bolingbroke, and the nearly-impossible-to-assemble ship the Matthias Vospero.

*nod*

I know someone who ran off the road during that scene...

S'ry

And yes, I think the Furious Voice is to be avoided. Not as aussiduously as The Hammer, but definitely to be avoided.

O.O really...
Well then I suppose I should consider myself lucky, as well as even more decided to keep the mp3's on my laptop and out of the van.

You're entirely forgiven -- the squeeability positive merits of your beautiful generosity far outweigh any silliness of myself and my sleeping arrangements.

I THINK my server is back; shall throw up Act 5.

Hurrah! That is a *good* thing to hear after my AP Spanish test; I was just wondering about how you were doing on that front! Glad to hear things are (hopefully) back to functional for you.

O.O really...

Yep! It was me! ([livejournal.com profile] commodorified linked me to this entry.)

Of course, to be fair, that was mostly the fault of the GINORMOUS BLIZZARD that was going on at the time... ;)

holy shit. I just bought some of those cards.

Oooh! Are they not fun-ness incarnate?

Wheee! I want that pirate cards game!!
Well, actually, I have already got a pirate card game, but the one you mentioned seems so much more interesting!
