LaPtiteBete: Good morning everybody !! :)
Hope you're all doing fine ?
** Hugs and waves and Earl Grey tea **
Enjoy, sadly, no more tea for me until October at the very least. It's too damned hot for it.

moonshineshadow: *good morning hugs and waves* Hope everyone is fine :-)

No paying you with ice-cream, no interest in having my dreams filled with images of them. Not my types. Luckily your scheme did not work :D
Wait, wait, not your type?

Bu... bu... but it's Nathan Fillion, and mother-fucking RON PERLMAN!

Does not compute.

LaPtiteBete: Ho... thank you for your big random hug :"> **Big random tight hug back**...
yes, he would like to learn to play the violin ; but it's so hard... and since he isn't very constant and regular in his learning... I fear it will be too hard for now... (maybe later ?.... when he grows up a little...)
(awesome, about your personal piano lessons !! :D)
Yes, that's what I thought, about your Monday off :-\ ... that's great that you allow your brothers to have some free days ; I hope they occasionally return the favor !
Tango and waltz... wow !!! ô__ô
*Big return random tight hug*

The violin is indeed difficult, but also very beautiful. My partner started learning hers when she was very little and she always makes me so proud when I hear how well she plays. I know it's not the same, but have you thought about lessons on YouTube or other free online lessons or books? It's not the same, but it could help while he is not able to go to classes all the time, and it might be fun for him to do as he is interested in the violin. I would not worry about his age, in fact it's often said that it's easier to learn instruments at a younger age. The important thing is practicing and then practicing again some more. Do you think you would like your younger Owlet to learn to play an instrument when she is older? Can you play any instruments? I can't, just a bit of piano so far, but I'm enjoying it, even if I don't have a lot of time to practice it lately.

My brothers often offer to give me the time off during holidays, but they have kids and I like them to spend as much quality time with them as they can. They all work so hard and already miss stuff, so I want them to have all the time they can with their families. They do let me have Sundays off every week, while they are always switching which day they get off to make it fair on them. But they are kind enough to let me have a set day a week off to spend with my partner and make some plans for things for us to do together, so it's only fair I help them when it's a big holiday.

I'm a bit rusty with the tango and waltz, and I don't think we will be do any overly fancy moves, but it is fun and we enjoy dancing together, so it's worth me looking like I have two left feet. :-)

CarrionCrow: Ever play an RPG where one group is extremely anti-magic unless they're the ones doing it, in which case they call it divine whatever while screaming that all the other people with magic need to be burned alive?

Yeah...that's what comes to mind.

Good afternoon. =)
Good early morning to you Crow.

Can't really tell which RPG is that, so many include a faction with faith-based magic that considers every single other magic user an abomination, that it's practically a cliche of the genre.

Just pointing out the catholic church's historical stance on magic as a whole.

People got burned alive for less, like having a jewish-sounding name in their family tree. Good times.

adaliabooks: Yeah, we've got a big Classic Commercial Vehicle Rally on for the weekend. We did it last year and it was great, so it should be good again this year hopefully :)

And I'm fine thank you :)
Nice, with some luck all those classic vehicle drivers will be hungry for some tasty pizza.

It's okay, I can't think of one title to single out either.

Also, it's not just one chunk of religious types that do that.
I remember a pamphlet for some academy that a relative was thinking of going to, and it said right there in the rules that anything "occult-related" was prohibited.
Even decades ago, I laughed my ass off at that.

Also also? From Software has officially jumped the shark fully.

Morning DD, 'tis been a while milady.

I tried learning guitar when I was at school.

To this day, I still regret not taking it more seriously. Specially since one of the teachers was a metalhead, although you'd never have guessed from looking at him.

I wasted years listening to radio poop until a friend helped me discover Blind Guardian.

Oh dear, the reviews from Bloodborne are coming through, and it sucks?!

I had such high hopes for it. Even if I'm not getting a ps4.

Not Bloodborne. From the tiny bit I've seen of that, they actually pulled their head out of their ass and made the mechanics comprehensible.
I'm referring to the Dark Souls 2 "remastering".

Hello!

How are you? I gather the temperature has started to get hotter for you?

Why not start with the guitar again? You are never too old to learn something.

Oh, that, the scholar of the first thing remastered crap-fest?

It's been known for months. Comes from the game being released right in the middle of a systems leap.

And yes, the whole thing including all the DLC and the incompatible save data had been known already, the latter not confirmed, but expected. It doesn't make them any less dicks for it. But the pain burns less so.

I bought the vanilla version of DS2 and you already know my opinion on it. Which basically boils down to; 'oh boy, Dark Souls is such a great game.'

Yeah, figuring that at some point, I'll clear 1 and watch a full Let's Play of 2, then some year I might be able to afford Bloodborne.

A couple of people fainted from heat stroke, of course they were wearing long wool cloaks and tunics and full face masks. So that helped.

Actually, according to neurologists, you can be. From your mid thirties onwards, your brain plasticity is severely reduced, requiring a lot more effort to learn anything, not impossible, just harder.

Old dog, new tricks.

The hugz-blob started his 40K table-topping with the siege of terra?

That's hard-corez.

Exactly, to how many points were you playing?

About 5000 and I've been playing 40K for a while.

Hello! *big hug*

Did you have a fun time playing 40K? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

j0ekerr: I love radio announcers, and by love I mean I feel nothing but the utmost spite and contempt.

One of them just radioded "this magical morning" to describe what is the most self-aggrandizing, indulging, self-righteous moment of the festivities. Not realizing that if things were half as sacred as he'd made them out to be, he'd just committed blasphemy and sacrilege by describing it as magic.

I'm nitpicking.

Yeah not a fan of the whole, "let's all watch a couple of wooden sculptures be paraded around and stand in awe of them."

And good morning to you all. Or afternoon already.
Good Afternoon! Radio Announcers....oh yeah...one has to love them ;).
