I feel like I've had to explain the song of half time to at least a dozen people.

If they're too silly to get chummy with random scarecrows, they've brought it upon themselves.

Well, there's also the issue of turning the wilderness into the playground of the rich, perpetuating class differences and such.

I don't think any worker is hurt by letting rich people hunt elephants in faraway countries...

I think he meant propagating class differences in Zimbabwe. You know, with large chunks of the country turned into hunting grounds for Great White Hunters from rich countries.

Yes. But again, the issue's a lot more complicated than "animal-murdering hunters" or "imperialist whiteys" or "bleeding-heart activists"

I'm given to understand that it's specifically an issue with double-standards: work in Africa to stop poaching is undermined by giving foreigners free reign to (as far as people are concerned) come in and shoot the animals that they're being told not to shoot.

Wow, all this serious stuff. .n.

I managed to snag a Dratini through Global Trading, which is ridiculously hard. On the downside, I get to walk yet another Dragon type through it's evolution chain. After that, there's a Pupitar I need to evolve.

Yay for evolving Dragon types.

first two battles, and only four casualties so far. Playing smart with the aiming angles second wave option is the way to go.

(XCOM Long War, I am doing this instead of studying apparently who knew tac battles took 40 fucking minutes)

I just survived my first base invasion in the original UFO Enemy Unknown (OpenXCom technically because I wanted to fix the game's many bugs) on veteran difficulty!

Lost 10 soldiers when Cryssalids ran out and took a few corridors (first time dealing with them, damn those bastards are deadly), but I managed to pull through by setting up over watch traps and taking the zombies and resultant Cryssalids to pieces as they approached. Now I'm researching a few blaster launchers that snake men brought to said invasion, so I'm about to have a lot of fun blowing aliens to hell!

I just drove out at nearly midnight to pick up mass-produced brownies, and also cherry ice cream, which I have combined in a bowl and will proceed to eat while watching my Japanese animes. Hedonism has won out over dignity tonight, and at this moment, I am completely okay with that.

okay so I was testing stuff in adventure mode for the DBZ mod. I went to go defeat a titan; I couldn't hurt it much and it set me on fire, so I figured I was going to die. Knowing this, I decided to see if my ki system worked by putting all of my ki into my next attack, hoping to get a shot in that would kill the titan.

It did.

That works.

Yay!

(on the other hand cell in this world was killed by a giant sparrow)

My copy of In Order of Disappearance on DVD arrived today!

[Tiruin]

Groupmate accompanied me. We ate lunch together. (Ok, I ate lunch. They waited.)
Yay companionship.

Yay lunch.

Tore up the old carpet in the basement yesterday and got the new cork flooring in. It looks great, I am so much of the all of the happy about it. That was the piece of the puzzle needed to get the rest of the house organized, and begin the final stages of getting my nerd-cave up and running.

I'm twenty now! As I'm no longer a teenager, I expect I'll never do anything stupid or irresponsible again.

Also, I've suddenly hit the age when birthdays no longer really mean anything, since I'll turn 21 in Russia, so I effectively hit the drinking age in late August of this year. Yayyyy.
