My French comes solely from Google Translate.

That is good. After all, the Court is at it's best in long sittings. Ain't made for these weekly updates.
Might have something to do with it actually having a plot, right?

edit: New page is new. Although I can't make out what it says above Jeanne's head there in her second "instance". Afar Strike, fille? Whut?

Good to see you have plenty of ideas to spare.
The best advise the OP could get has already been given to him by Vector. Now it's time for the fruitless bickering and unavoidable derailing.
Hopefully not about cheese, this time.

if you've got the nuts you can just leave off them for a few days just to see what happens.
Bad advise. Really bad. Taking such "breaks" may disrupt the whole treatment "schedule", setting the person back several months or worse. It's not toys.

Every time you catch yourself moping alone, do push-ups.
This is just another way of hiding from the problems, akin to videogames or drinking. Working out releases endorphines, but just like any other escapist route, it fails to give you a real platform to stand on, and do not change anything. Not to mention that if you're depressed, you might not have the energy to start working out to begin with. In fact, that's the reason meds are so much more important in depression-cases than otherwise, because they're there to give you the energy to change yourself. Without that spark, there isn't really very much the depressed person can do about it.

I don't like chems, theres always a warmup, a cooldown, and one of them aint fun.

Also, they're unnecessary for most people.
Plaster/casts are unnecessary for most people. Doesn't mean they're not helpful when you've got a broken leg or two.

But, uh, yeah. On a different train of thought (and I can't even tell if discussing religion and atheism is even remotely on-topic anymore, but whatever)), I ran a search for 'Hobbes' in the thread and found nothing but a single unrelated-to-religion mention, which I find kind of surprising as his theories disproved God and heaven and angels etc. quite thoroughly for the times. Everything he hypothesized was at root based on the senses: If a human cannot smell, touch, hear, see, etc. something, cannot perceive it, then it simply cannot be known or proven to exist. He never explicitly mentioned religion, but... well, you can't see God, for example.
Doesn't that argument fall apart as soon as you realise there are people out there who really think they can feel/have a connection to/have met God?

I imagine, yes, that I would react similarly.
I imagine that you wouldn't. :P

Jaume leaps over (or besides, if she gets up, I guess) Cassandra and strikes at the claw beast with his Thundertooth Baton, aiming for the head!

Not offhand, no. But being Swedish, I can "understand" old Norse written in Roman letters. Less than I can imagine, of course, but more than nothing.

General Discussion / Re: Where did you get your username/avatar?
« on: September 25, 2010, 05:33:39 am »
My username is the nick name of writerStig Dagerman's alter ego/author avatar in The Snake, from 1945. Awesome book, awesome character. In the ending chapters, he gets drunk, argues with a fellow "intellectual" for a while, then climbs out a upper storey windows and slips to his death. Oh, and there's a girl in a red hat watching.

If I remember correctly, "scriver" was given to the character by his army buddies because it was the brand of a kind of typewriter.

Ladies and gentelmen, the much advertised Valhalla might be not as manly as we imagine it to be.
Not to mention that the head guy is into bad, bad poetry. So much, infact, that his main sphere is bad, bad poetry.
Odin is basically the Cacofonix of Nordic mythology.

Unless anything alerts him on what's happening with Cassandra, Jaume begins to look through the other parts of the house. If he were somehow to realise that his friend is being attacked, he will of course stumple outside, still pumped up on White Knightiness from that Minscy behaviour earlier.
