I'm so upset I couldn't sleep.

So I went to the corner store last night at 10 to buy a bottle of wine for me and my mom. Pulled in close to another car, squeezed out and ran in.
When I came out, the guys in the car next to me are saying I hit their car. I said I did not and show ne, so they start pointing to a point in the middle of the car and a white mark on my front bumper. But their car wasn't white, so how would that be paint transfer from them, and it actually looked like it was from the public garage.

So they won't let me go and even had the wife come to block my car in. I told them to call the police or I would.

So the police come, and do nothing but tell us to exchange info.

I'm sure the insurance company will sort this out (if those people even call them). But I feel like they were trying to intimidate or scam me because I was alone.

Oh man that's terrible. If they were just trying to get a quick confession and cash out of you I imagine they won't go to insurance. It'll be hard to prove one way or another. Hope you're OK.

In case you're wondering what they're talking about, I let them hear the voice sample I sent Silencer back when we first brought up the podcast idea. Apparently I wasn't lispy or stuttery enough, so they asked me to do more. So I decided to read the summary I wrote of what Kyle did at the end of Return of the Crimson Guard a while back since everyone was so persuasive, and, well, I really can't pronounce Ghelel's name at all.

Also doing these is making me happy. SO MODEST

were still there, but both links are dead. And now I'm sad.


Heading to that link was a trip down memory lane Posted Image

Oh 2011 how I miss thee.

Illy, did you do a goodkind rant re: the chicken, or was that someone else? Because I seem to remember a chicken-based rant and I was talking about goodkind the other day and thought of it.



I think it was apt


I think it was me too. Stupid fucking chicken demon.

Voila....



Quote

Hissing, hackles lifting, the chicken's head rose.

Kahlan pulled back.

Its claws digging into stiff dead flesh, the chicken slowly turned to face her. It cocked its head, making its comb flop, its wattles sway.

"Shoo," Kahlan heard herself whisper.

There wasn't enough light, and besides, the side of its beak was covered with gore, so she couldn't tell if it had the dark spot. But she didn't need to see it.

"Dear spirits, help me," she prayed under her breath.

The bird let out a slow chicken cackle. It sounded like a chicken, but in her heart she knew it wasn't. In that instant, she completely understood the concept of a chicken that was not a chicken. This looked like a chicken, like most of the Mud People's chickens. But this was no chicken.

This was evil manifest.

[...]
Her power, her magic, was also a weapon of defense. But it would only work on people. It would not work on a chicken. And it would not work on wickedness incarnate.

Her gaze flicked toward the door, checking the distance. The chicken took a single hop toward her. Claws gripping Juni's upper arm, it leaned her way. Her leg muscles tightened till they trembled.

The chicken backed up a step, tensed, and spurted feces onto Juni's face.

It let out the cackle that sounded like a laugh.

She dearly wished she could tell herself she was being silly. Imagining things.

But she knew better.

[...]

Kahlan frantically tried to think as the chicken bawk-bawk-bawked.

If you press and/or hold the power button too much it does a kind of system reset that can take an hour or more. The light stays white and nothing shows on the screen. You need to be careful because disconnecting power while it does this can corrupt your downloads and worse, your save files.

Stuck in the fucking airport for the next 6.5 hours (been here 3 already) because standbys are not free and the markup ($750) is completely unreasonable. And I am still waiting 2.5 hours with 2 boys just to fucking check in the baggage. Fucking greedy ads airlines. I wish they would all go bankrupt and someone new and reasonable would take over the business. Fucking hate airports.

We were headed back home from LA. Motherfucking airports just look for ways to make their customers hate them.
