Andrew wasn't kidding, y'all are terrible at this.

Interestingly enough, we'd already considered Missile and Pylon. A Lovecraftian name was considered but if we do that it'll probably just go on the official paperwork. Townsend's Crawling Chaos ("Nyarlie" for short) is amusing but probably challenging to explain. I can imagine that conversation. "Oh he's so cute! What's his name?" "Nyarlie." "... is that a family name?"

Bitch Please might induce gender confusion. We do not wish to impose cisgender, heteronormative ideals upon any living creature.

Tam's interesting, especially with the Wheel of Time connection. (Which was probably unintentional). Also top 100 lists are names to avoid. I swear to god when we took Tally to puppy classes, every other puppy was named "Bella." Not coincidentally, this was during the height of the Twilight craze. Who does that?!

Either "Super-dog" or "Pierre Bourdieu"

Nemo is terrible.
Don't?

Not confusing if you just say "yes."

"Pass Me the Remote"
"Breakfast (As in Dog's [possessive noun])"
If you plan on getting another then this one should be "Millennium Hand" so your second one can be called "Shrimp"
"En Fuego el Burro!"
"Toasted Cheese Sandwich" and you can keep calling him "Toasted" so people think you are stoners.

Also incredibly obvious suggestion that I am ashamed for not thinking of sooner

Have been back to work for most of the last month. My goal of finding a job that pays tolerably well and that I don't loathe still hasn't been met, but hey. It's a start. Now to somehow get my Jeep to pass inspection...

Got a 16/20 for my master's memoire (60 pages stuff) which is insanely great. Especially considering I procrastinated and did half the writing the very last week and pulled an all nighter the very last night.

Now I just need to find work at 28. (I'm never going to be able to retire)

France has a pretty nice social net, so you will be okay regardless. (Never gonna retire either)

Realistically 99% of our age group will never retire if things continue as they have.  Sad really since life begins at retirement.

Retiring isn't a thing that happens anymore. Best we have to look forward to is a peaceful death when we can't work no more.

You need some one to take on those generational debts. Jeeze, what are you going to do, make the government default on its contractors?

If they're spending that much in medical care on a guy with an inch-wide bullet hole in his head, I think that's their fault.

Oh my god so I got bored doing homework and put the WA3 OST on and was like "wow, outside the big bombastic Wild ARMs-y themes this reminds me a lot of Atelier of all things."  Solution obvious.  Needs Wild ARMs/Atelier crossover.  Have horseback gunfights through the wasteland looking for ingredients in your quest to bridge the gap between humans and guardians.  So great.

Also chibirhythm got a sequel and I played it for nearly 9 hours in one day.  life is awesome.  All previous cynicism is retracted until tomorrow.  Hugs and music for everyone.

I got my stuff moved back to my parents on the weekend and then flew down to Melbourne for work for a couple of months.  That is why I have been absent from the internets.

Apartment internet is bad, but have bought something to rectify, so should be around a little bit again.
