... I forgot where I was going with that.
And by the way, I know it is the same old sun that every morning comes up from behind the horizon. Apollo does not have the money to buy another one to chariot around the sky everyday. I wonder what his chariot is made of if it can hold the sun.
Don't tell me you did not know that Apollo is the one that every morning wakes up early, get the horses ready, lugs the sun on the chariot and runs across the sky so you can get a nice tan. Oh well, your loss.
While we are on this subject, YO 'POLLO, wake up and start "charioting" earlier so I do not have a laser beam in my eyes driving to work in the morning. It gets annoying. It was getting better and what happened? Time change ... BAM!!! Laser back in your eyes when driving Eastward in the morning. We just screw up everything we touch are we? <-- I mean humans in general. Well, if it was all perfect and jolly we would not know that it was perfect and jolly as we would not have anything different to compare to.
Ok, back to subject ... oh wait, I do not have one.
Let's see ...
New York trip pictures... too lazy right now... too many pictures to choose from.
Christmas Spirit:
You will have to excuse me there, but as I spent most of my long Christmas weekend in bed or sitting down due to a kidney stone induced pain and high fever, you will understand why I was not in a cheerful Christmas mood. Add to that my cousin (the same I met in New York) sending me articles about kidney stones and I should not have fever and that if I have fever I have an infection and I risk to loose a kidney and ... THE END OF THE WORLD!!! And telling me that if I do not go to a doctor she will not talk to me anymore at which I replied "If I die you will not have to worry about it" ... :-) not quite the right answer, was it? She was a little pissed at that answer ... don't worry ... I did not die (duh!), my cousin is still talking to me, the fever is gone and the stone is still in there somewhere, ready to move again, probably Thursday New Year's Day to f@$# up also that long weekend. That would be ironic, but at least consistent.
But it was not all that bad as I had some loving and lovable people taking care or thinking about me.
What's new in Vindi? New friends, some old friends, some very good friends ... still missing one ...
New character Sylas. How to describe him... 14 maybe 15 year old wizard-wanna-be but stuck with a phantom dagger. You can make him as tall as you can, he will still be shorter than everyone else except Evie, if the Evie is not made tall. His emotes are way over ... over ... over the top. His dance is from a drunk Justin Bieber ... I am just guessing there...not a fan, I assure you. As most Vindi characters he has two positions when sitting on the ground. In one he looks like L from Death Note. I should post a picture. Meh, easier to find one of L. Here we go. Yes, like that... he looks like he is squatting to relieve himself. GAHH ... now I hate Sylas.A very good friend of mine has mentioned that there is another female character that will come out in Vindi called Delia. She is sporting a huge long sword similar to Hurk. If you look at the Youtube videos related to her emotes and character creation you can get your own idea, but here is my impression: Delia is a blonde cheerleader, always happy, legs taller than you (yeah, you Sylas) and her Victory emote will cause a LOT of ... mmm ... lets say inappropriate comments. Now, she does curtsies like a Lady of days past, but her dance is ... no, go see for yourself; I can't stop staring at her. Just search for "Vindictus Delia Dance". SO CUTE!
What else happened lately? Oh yes! We had 4 seasons in 48 hours. Friday, December 25th, 71 degrees Fahrenheit. Saturday, December 26th... I have no idea, I was in a fever induced stupor. Sunday, December 27th, 19 degrees Fahrenheit with ice and a little snow. Somebody would comment "OMG, than in Texas everything must be shutdown!" to be sarcastic, or probably more like "Big deal, so what, we get 6 feet of snow and we still go to school and all that".
Snow is not the problem. It's the sheet of ice on the road.Here is the driveway just outside the garage. Awesome for skating. --------------->
<----- Front Yard with just a covering of snow
<------- Road covered in ice, not snow ------->
The very good friend of mine that told me about Delia also sent me a gift for Christmas: a Takeya Hot Tea Infuser, so I used some of the SPECIAL GUNPOWDER GREEN TEA that I bought in New York in Chinatown and made some hot tea. As a picture is worth a thousand words, please see below.
ANECDOTE: I was stopped at airport security in New York as I was carrying a few of these little boxes in my backpack. I wonder what they thought...
