How's NaNo going?

[Emwok]

See, I totally remember that now that you've explained it. XD My compy can't handle it, but it did look fun. Seems like a great twist on an FPS.

I used to be a huge fan of guns, and revolvers in particular, but...I've actually pulled a Batman, and really don't like them anymore.

That sounds impressive though. Especially if you imagine an old West shootout, where the baddie is like "Well Sherriff...think you're faster 'en me?" And the Sheriff steps out from behind his desk and pat's his bucket sized holster, and says "Think I don't gotta be; you ain't walkin' away...'cept maybe in handcuffs"

And then the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly music plays.

Finding out that your eggs and ham are, in fact, green?

How's NaNo going?

Much like donning a corset, it's difficult to say. I've always, in any writing project from poems to short stories to attempted novels, been able to start strong, pouring out a few thousand words with little to mid range effort. But then I get distracted, bored, lazy, or just lose interest because of some shiny object. So while currently I'm on pace and have a reasonably good idea of where the story is going, I won't really know until it's over. I'm really, really hoping to finish this year.

xD

Finding out that your eggs and ham are, in fact, green?

I think I'd probably still eat them. The world needs more green food that isn't vegetables. Unless it was green because it was rotting...I draw the line at food that's rotting. I love food; I love exploring new flavors and cultures. But I will not eat something that smells like roadkill, no matter how fancy or "gourmet" it is.

I might also skip it if it were environmentally friendly, green. Depends on who gave it to me, and whether they tried to guilt me into it.

There are many political ideas within the concept of green eggs and ham, I think.

Sometimes after a hard day, you just need a cookie?

[Chozon1]

All day, every day. If I had to choose between a daily change of underpants, and my daily anti-grumpy cookie, I'm going commando.

Truly, sometimes a cookie and five minutes to enjoy it can turn the day around.

Me too probably.

Mages in Skyrim are OP?

[Chozon1]

I don't know, actually. I haven't played Skyrim. Bethesda games are like alcohol to me, and I'm a recovered addict. Except you never really recover, so staying away is the only option. I mean, I didn't even really like Oblivion, and I put a hundred hours into it. At least. In a month. So...

That said, it would be a change I think could live with; I never found magery, by itself, to be an effective way to explore the world of Tamriel, or the island of Morrowind. Using it in combination with, say, a sword, would make you an ultimate hero reasonably quickly. But that was only after using said sword to make piles and piles of Septims, so you could afford to train your magic skills higher.

So I think I would be glad for them to put the might back into the magic, as it were.

Magic in Skyrim is actually a viable upgrade path and I decided it was time to try it out. I made a new character and have found magic to be very powerful when you choose the right perks. I didn't like magic in Morrowind because it took a long time to cast, so I stuck with melee weapons.

Pumpkin pie or pecan pie?

[Chozon1]

That's interesting, considering they've used the same "school" system since the beginning of the Elder scrolls series. Not saying I mind them changing it, because it was almost too complex to be really useful, but still. Interesting.

That depends entirely on the level of pie deliciousness involved. I'm a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but if it's made incorrectly, it tastes terrible. Flavorless, or like smashed vegetables mixed with spices and shoved in a flavorless crust. Pecan pie, though it can have an odd texture and be too sweet, is little more than thick syrup with nuts in it. It's hard, though possible, to really mess that up. Even if it hasn't thickened properly, it's still tasty.

However, if you've got a well made pumpkin pie? One that's creamy and smooth, heavily spiced and sweetened correctly, with a graham cracker crust replacing the traditional pastry?

That's pievana. It's like nirvana, but with pie. I could, and have on Thanksgivings past, eat an entire pie by myself, and have literally fought over it, and been crushed when I learned the last piece had been eaten. It's almost a dangerous thing, to eat that pie. It's like faerie food. You'll never get over it.

Key Lime pie, or Lemon Meringue pie?

[Chozon1]

This too, is difficult.

I almost want to say there's very little difference between them, at least they way I've always had them. Both have meringue, both have a tart filling, and if I have my way, both have a graham cracker crust. Not a fan of pastry in sweet uses, really.

But at the same time, it really depends, again, on level of pie quality. In my opinion, pie is one of those things that has to be as scratch made as reasonably possible. The chemicals added for shelf stability in most store made pies ruin the flavor and texture. Yet you've picked the two pies that I would say could be readily purchased, and it taste somewhat close to a well made hand crafted pie; the frozen iterations of Key Lime and Lemon Meringue both can be incredibly delicious.

In the end, I'm leaning towards Key Lime, partly because I prefer a more tart dessert, and partly for nostalgia's sake; my dad has asked for Key Lime pie as his birthday dessert for as long as I can remember.

Same. I usually grab a slice of both just to make sure I'm not missing out. My aunt also makes a really good blueberry pie, so I don't always get some of everything. Between the sheer number of choices and the fact that I'm back together with cousins with woods to mess around in, I usually end up missing something by the end of the day.

Stuff it in the cornucopia?

(When the song stops at around 4:30, you can stop. The rest is empty for...some reason. :/)

Sadly, most of my family has aged past the "go have an amazing time in the woods" stage. -_- Well, they think they have anyway. Truth is, you're never really too old for that. But people think they are, and they want to act like "mature adults", so we sit around and complain about things, talk about how the state of the world is going downhill, and the world is ending soon, and pie is fattening, and other conversation topics that make you want to curl into a ball and cry.

Or, and this is key, leave the rest of the family with a small splinter group of cool commando people on a to go play video games. It's a dangerous exfiltration fraught with possible failures, but considering the alternative...It's the preferable, yet less familial inclined, option. Still not as good as playing around in the woods, though.

But I'm not bitter. -_- I guess the positive side is that pie time is hard to miss. And I do love the traditional coconut cream to console myself. <3

The Cornucopia...was odd. But it's stuck in my head now, and I'm midly worried the next time someone says something to me, I'm going to scream "STUFF IT IN THE CORNUCOPIA". XD I also really want one to wear on my head for Thanksgiving. O_o That would be glorious.

I liked it. Had a vaguely middle eastern feel...I liked it quite a bit, akshually. <3
