Dark One

I blame it on the fact that I specialized in Groundwater Geology. Did much homework with hydraulic head, gradients, and all kinds of other stuff that I've forgotten in the last few years.

Finally watched the episode...

Thoughts:

I don't think the windows were out on the pharmacy. There was that sign up saying to Take What You Need. May be mistaken, but it looked relatively intact. Plus, those horses would be a good early warning system.

Maggie is still kewt. Shame all we got was sideboob.

A barb wire fence is pretty ****** protection against zomboids. Those things are a pain in the *** to keep up. Every year I have to go out and fix ours from idiot deer jumping into 'em plus snow/ice weighing them down.

Lori had to go all the way out into the field to take the test? Aren't there, ya know, bathrooms in that house? Granted, it is Georgia and they just got electricity down there a few weeks prior to the zombocalpyse, but you'd think indoor plumbing might be available to 'em.

Depending on where in the hydraulic gradient that that well was, there's a chance that every well on their property is now contaminated. That well looked to be on the top of a hill, so I wouldn't drink from any of the wells there. The fact that a swimmer managed to get into it in the first place means their fencing is not doing an adequate job of protecting, IMO.

Looks like they were deposited today. Guess I have apparently been getting 550, rather than 400, for the other two months.

My monthly points were finally deposited sometime between my last post and today. Got 550 this time instead of 400 (iirc, the 400 that is).

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas.

Srsly.

Granted, the movie wasn't quite as funny as the first two, but was overall a decent enough flick. There were enough shout outs and callbacks to the first two, as well as making fun of Kal Penn having worked for the White House.

I'm not convinced that it's actually malfunctioning. I'm starting to think that that is what it was the Intersect is supposed to do. Chuck was somehow special. Either that or the glasses were a trap from that CIA guy with an altered program that slowly overwrites the subject's base personality.

Well...that was a big ol' pile of CoV boxes right in the foreground and very visible. With a couple of CoH boxes thrown in for good measure. Would be nice if they had GR boxes though. And the Halo Wars poster in the background.

It may just be me, but Sarah was looking kinda...rough around the edges...at that presentation.

Go look up the Transformers G1 Shockwave or the GI Joe U.S.S. Flagg on eBay. The Flagg has had crazy prices, especially for those still sealed up.

I've actually got a HeroQuest box. I don't think it's got everything, but it's pretty close I'd say. Found it in a antique store for like $15.

I had 37 Reward Tokens at launch of Freedom. I have been paying continuously since August 31, 2004 with no breaks. I've gotten 2 tokens since it started, one for first Points purchase and one sometime prior to Oct. 28th (filled everything but the Tier 9 non-VIP stuff). I've received 2 sums of 400 Paragon Points, which was used for Beam Rifle and Street Justice, iirc. So far, I have not received November's 400pts (as of last night). Have not checked today so far.

Have I missed/been screwed out of Tokens?

My Masterpiece Grimlok, 25th Anniversary Superion, a bunch of the 20th Anniversary GI Joe vehicles, and 2 25th Anniversary Soundwaves aren't leaving their boxes (probably). Heck, I've still got an alternate coloring Tartanulas from Beast Wars (gray/black rather than his purply-blue-red stuff) MONQMC (mint on not quite mint card) and a sealed Machine Wars Optimus Prime.

They might not have known what their blood types are. Rick I can see knowing his, because he's a cop. Might be important to him. Lori, probably knows hers. There's also the potential there for blood-borne diseases that the others might have.

The rest? Maybe they've never had a reason to know it or have forgotten it. I know I've had to ask my parents what mine is a time or two.

Well, they've advertised it as the Final Season and sticking it on the Friday night slot says that it's done.

Just going to have +1 the entire NGE: Shinji Ikari Raising Project line. You know how dark and depressing the NGE anime is? Well, this is the exact opposite of that.

Gendo being a helicopter parent who actually cares about his kid rather than an all-around d-bag? Yui being a mother rather than goo? Misato and Kaji being adversarial teachers? Asuka's mother not being dead?

It's pretty dang funny in places.

Well, I got the Transfer token today, but no 400 pts. My account renewal date is on Jan. 1st.
