Good morning / evening to you, blogstory, glad you like jazz also. I enjoyed your Art Blakely vid, thank you.

Here is a little more jazz to brighten your day - perhaps superstande is listening also.

A little old, a little new...

An amazing cover of a Tom Waits song, San Diego Serenade, with Norma Winstone singing..

And a Pink Floyd staple with a new twist..

Just editing out another post, I'll wait a short while before I repost it.

Good morning. =)

Not a problem, you're welcome.

Well put, virtually nothing's ever set in stone. -laughs-

Figuring they're busy with offline life and doing their day-to-day. Haven't spoken with them in some time, so I can't say if or when they'll be back to the thread.

How's the start to your weekend going?

Sorry to butt in - but I took a quick look at that thread, and I'm sure that Moon is right about people not liking others asking for gifts too often, or possibly not liking it at all, even though that is the purpose of the thread.

I am a relative newcomer to this thread, but even here I have noticed posts of yours that give the impression that you are asking / hinting for gifts.

Not that I would downrep those posts, that's not my way, but perhaps others who don't know you here have done so?

There are more than just the 'regulars' who read and visit this thread, and In a thread known for 'ninja gifting' one needs to be careful about how one posts about wanting or not being able to afford games! ;-)

No offence intended, just a thought.

If you want to stop the downrepping for your 'wishlist post', then I would advise you to edit that out.
Afaik, you can edit even quite old posts, so change it to some meaningless remark, or state that you are removing it, and let it go at that.

Or, as Moon suggested, try not to worry about it. I can't say that I notice rep or stars, they don't seem to affect the way I use the site at all, so I mostly don't pay attention to them for me or others.

Editing to say - but I do add +1's for the generous gifters in this thread, that's practically a fulltime job!

Good morning - you are clearly not set in stone today, it's good to see you. :-D

All's well here, thank you, a long weekend in Portugal, and traditionally May 1st is a day for picnics, although I wasn't on one, too busy packing up. Moving is my least favourite thing in the world, I've decided.

Hope things are good in your world.



Winding up / down my posts with a little peaceful jazz, keeps me calm when things are stressful.

Jan Garbarek - In Praise of Dreams

Editing again to say that was meant as a separate post, but GOG will not allow it. Grrrr

Likewise. =)

Moving...pretty much always a miserable experience. Hopefully you'll be able to get through it quickly if nothing else.

Can't complain here, just another quiet night. Figure I'll end up watching something on Netflix until I get tired enough to fall asleep.

Thanks for replying - it was good to see a friendly face here this morning. :-) Enjoy your movies or your sleep, whichever comes first, hope it's the latter.

I'll be off now, graveyard shift is over for today. ;-)

Good Mornings and Nights and What's-Betweens and other things!

ZenWan - thank you for continuing with your lovely jazzability! :p

Just got up, clearing tables of empty beer cans, was playing some Indian/New Age/Ambient stuff,
but they were not doing much in the way of waking me up, the links here are better :)
I'll go play some Colonization again (the music turned off - gets a bit annoying :) )
and up-rep some writers here!
you could also try the ancient buddhist saying, "emptiness is form, form is emptiness," which is the heart of the Heart sutra :p
Not sure what it means, maybe related to understanding how things are changing continuously...

edit: here's Yoshimitsu from Tekken series doing the boogie with Heart Sutra :)

Guten Tag!

How are you all today? I hope you are all looking forward to a lovely weekend?

Good day, DD *big morning hug* ... A bit hard to tell how I am, because I just woke up... I'm certainly not feeling bad though, so that is a good sign :-)

How are you?

Good morning, Agent!

*big morning hug*

Glad to hear you are not feeling bad, hopefully as the day goes on you will start to feel great.

I am good, thank you. A bit tired as I only got an hour or so of sleep, and I have a lot of work to do today, but other than that I am great, especially as today is Saturday.

Do you have anything nice planned for your weekend?

*Passes Agent a big jar of peanut butter and a spoon*

How do you... live? Really... I wouldn't be able to stand up if I had so little sleep... (you're a robot, right? I won't tell anyone! ;-p) ... anyway, good luck with your busy day. Hope you'll get some good rest tonight and tomorrow!

No special plans for me... Just try to survive today, then worry about tomorrow at a later date :-)

Ah... thank you... *eats a few spoonfuls of delicious peanut butter* (literally :-D)

I only normally sleep 4-5 hours a night anyway, so a few hours less now and then is okay. But no, I am not a robot, just a kick arse Battle Sister. :-)

My day should be okay, my partner is coming by later to help and keep me company while I work. Then this evening is our romantic evening, with candles and a lovely meal and things like that, which is something I always look forward to, and the perfect way to end my work week. Tomorrow we are going horse riding and doing some other things, so lots to do, but all nice and relaxing things.

Are you seeing your friend today, or playing any nice games?

Moin everyone *big hugs and waves*

I hope you're all doing at least ok :).

Ah, yes... of course. Pardon my ignorance. I just woke up! No need for the Chainsword! ;-) ... Sounds like some very lovely plans.
I'll be seeing my friend, yes... No idea what we will do, but that doesn't really matter. The company is more important than anything :-) ... I didn't have any games in mind, but I'm sure I'll play some (I did just receive two gifts yesterday morning. I must give those a try! :-D)
Good day, ElT! *big hug*

Doing okay here (improving every minute :-)) ... How are you?
