Good Morning, 2014! #firstworldproblems edition

[Lady Door]

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?!

Maybe we'll just call him Nemo.

[Fenrir]

Either "Super-dog" or "Pierre Bourdieu"

Nemo is terrible.
Don't?

Not confusing if you just say "yes."

Maybe we'll just call him Nemo.

As in "Captain" or "Finding?"

[Lady Door]

"Little."

Alternatively, "Control-Vision."

[Grefter]

"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

Fenrir.

[Lady Door]

I am getting terribly tempted to go with Cai/Cain and then registering the dog as Stay A While And Listen.

[Grefter]

You might be confused for dirty dirty 40K fans.Though I think it is the highlight of an otherwise terribly dull setting

[Lady Door]

And sympathizers of the world's first homicide/fratricide. Win-win.

[superaielman]

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...

[Fenrir]

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)

[superaielman]

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

[Lady Door]

Remy.

[Grefter]

Grats Dogs.

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

[Idun]

Good luck and send me music you find that is interesting.  I haven't been doing enough investigative listening lately (even with follow metroid's topic).

If ya'll are in Austin Nov-May, me and three other colleagues organized an exhibition on LaToya Ruby Frazier's photographic works. Everything's on schedule, still reaching out to donors (Ford Foundation dropped some $$ after we hit the 10K mark).

Things: Living Theatre, someone wanna chat about it? jewjewls Skype. Dick Higgins is cray.

CONGRATS FÈNRIRz.

[Cotigo]

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.

[Lady Door]

A peaceful death, comforted by the knowledge that your descendants will inherit massive medical debts that will span generations.

[Cmdr_King]

Why the hell would you bring children into such a desolate world?  That's just irresponsible.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

They just sorta sprout on the front yard.

[Lady Door]

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

[Grefter]

For the first time this week I make a #tobigtofail joke that isn't about my dick.

[Anthony Edward Stark]

A peaceful death, comforted by the knowledge that your descendants will inherit massive medical debts that will span generations.

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.

[Cmdr_King]

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

Our parents will all outlive us, so they'll be stuck with that one.

[Cmdr_King]

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.

[Grefter]

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.
