Grandma, what are you doing up at this hour, and with Mr. Funny, to boot!

I am ... collaborating with Mr Funny.

Much after midnight, and anything can happen here, here in the Twilight Home. You're left on your own, once the nurses go out with their boyfriends.

It's then that the demons appear.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout

And do you consort with them, Granny? You seem like the sort.
 
 
Alex's Grandma
03:59 / 13.01.07
I don't expect you to understand this, lovey, I suppose you have an 'i-pod', and so forth, in which case the demons are already inside of you, some might say, but not me. We all fight 'The Enemy' in our own way, I suppose.

Although perhaps if you got out of bed a little earlier and had a shave every morning, you'd be slightly clearer about which side you were on, in the fight against evil!

PM me though, dear, and I will send you some homemade biscuits. I generally soak them in rum for a couple of weeks, so they do travel quite well, though I say so myself.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
04:13 / 13.01.07
Rum-sodden biscuits do sound delicious, Granny. I find myself salivating at the thought. You must understand, though... I wonder what side you represent in the fight against evil. Consorter.

Who's about?

I'm still basking in the glow of the Pats win over SD. Anyone else awake and drinking?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:23 / 15.01.07
Not drinking, on account of the early morning ahead. But I'm awake and aware.

I'm at work, but not for much longer, hopefully.

I'm still drunk, which is good.

But I've now drunk too much coffee and am going a bit batshit.

Must. Sleep.

Tombradytombradytombrady...

Oh, what? Sorry.

The no-drinking is sad to me. I have GWAR on the headphones and the broken souls of so many San Diego fans to keep a smile on my face. But those wonderful things wouldn't hold my interest without booze. I can't imagine living in the modern world without booze. Or a similar substance.

insomnia, early morning caffeine jitters, and a full day of studying ahead. At least I get some writing out of sleeplessness.

I.
Fucking.
Rock.


No sane being would dispute it.


Because I fucking rock.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:35 / 29.01.07
What are you on about now, Princess? Absconded on some pirate ship again to play your Captain Blood games? Shall I wind up the Operetta Machine?
 
 
Princess
01:41 / 29.01.07
Yes!
And light the unicorn torches!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:49 / 29.01.07
They keep whinnying when I try to light those horns up. It's off-puttin' for one of such a delicate constitution as I. But I'll tell you a tale, young one, oh yes -- I'll tell a tale. Of rapscallions and scallions and half a pound of butter, frying pan, and women with deplorable opera glasses to look direct-like into people's souls.
 
 
Princess
01:57 / 29.01.07
Oh please do Sir! My whimsy muscle is all a twitch!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:11 / 29.01.07
Well, well, well, my child! Allow me a moment to fix a drink. Gin? Yes, gin. It will have to be an improvised gin screwdriver (calamity!) on account of my tulpa failing to buy a fresh bottle of tonic.

Better. *smack-smack*

Now which story did the young one wish to hear? Yoshimi, and her battles with the pink robots? She's got a black belt in karate, you know. I've always preferred a ten-karat belt, personally, but that's me.

Or! Or the city that walked and looked like a man, well more specifically like an accountant. It lived and breathed and kept its downtown indoors, as it were, behind wire-framed glasses. The City That Looked Like A Man toured extensively in West Virginia with a travelling carnival. They say the City was born from a cutting taken from the roots of London herself. The City killed itself, tragic, I hear. After a long bout of civil unrest. O, how the bearded lady wept!

Dude that second story rocked. You made my day.

And I know it's daytime now. I'm being a rebel and messing with your limiting constructions of space/time, much life an Anansi or Loki type figure would. Because I'm a matrix warrior, and you are all not that l33t.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
15:36 / 30.01.07
Well, when you're done folding spacetime, don't forget to put it in the hall linen closet on top of the clean sheets, would you please? Most people just dump it on the carpet when they're done and there are all these awkward snags...
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
15:57 / 30.01.07
Seconded. Tripping over the whole of existence on the way to the bathroom at 5 AM is kind of a pain.

Hello early-evening shift.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
16:09 / 30.01.07
Enh, Princess has been folding time-space, Stoatie. For example, it's not even 10:30 in the morning where I am.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
16:14 / 30.01.07
It's 1:15 here. This seems so... wrong. I should at least have a beer...
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
22:57 / 01.02.07
I have one now.

Anyone else skulking about, cocktail in hand?
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:27 / 01.02.07
Ijust finished my 'coctail in hand'. But I shall still be polite enough to engage in conversation.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
23:44 / 01.02.07
Shouldn't that delicious cocktail be followed by another?

Cocktails aside, how's things, Keggers? Still making the tasty fruit wines? I bought a bottle of fruit wine today, Bartlett's Apple Blush, which was 95% apple and 5% blueberry. It was pretty tasty, but jarring for someone who's used to grape wines. Still, I enjoyed it, although I've switched over to Bar Harbor Real Ale and some California Chardonnay which is shockingly good, especially since I hold most California Chards in the highest contempt.

I am home and just poking my head in here to say hello to the lateshifters.

Howdy!

Well jake, I have an apple wine that needs to be bottled and both a red and white that is currently on the make. Im not too fond of the apple wine.. too sweet and I find it has a charcoal aftertaste. I will be making a batch of chokecherry wine asap.


Hi Trix
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
00:33 / 02.02.07
Hi, Trix!

Yeah, the apple wine was an interesting experience. Compared to grape wines, it was so sweet up front, and then so tart on the finish, it was a very intense tasting experience. I didn't get the charcoal at all.

I have, however, killed the chard (I forget what the hell it was called, but it was the economy white from Sebastiani, I think- actually pretty good and not over-oaked, and at $6.99 a bargain and a half) so I will tap into the Bartlett again now that I have some perspective, and perhaps have something a little more concrete to say about it.

Although having more Mount Desert Island Ginger in the fridge makes it hard to even consider switching...
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:55 / 02.02.07
Mount Desert Island Ginger..makes me think of Mount Tropical Island Ginger...which Im sure was Gilligans plan all along.
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
01:15 / 02.02.07
It's the real Ginger Ale.

I always liked Mary Ann, anyway...

01:21 / 02.02.07
G'mme Mrs. Howell. You just know deep down she's nasty!

Also, reading the Robinson Caruso thread..Im pretty sure William Shatner is evoving into Humpty Dumpty. At any moment his head will be covered in a shelly coating, sprout arms and legs and leave his body behind.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall (at the center of the universe)

Hi Trips! How's things?
 
 
Triplets
02:13 / 02.02.07
I'm a bit pissed, frankly. Been out drinking. Am currently sketching out my Halloween costume 07.

Think: The Unknown Supergirl of 4500 AD.



And I've already had practice with this:
