Re: Monthly chat December 2017
Well Crimbo is a busy time for musicians.
We were singing last night at someone's carol service, which also included some rather amusing christmas anicdotes and songs.
one of my favourite involved the parents of two mischief making brothers, eight and ten years old respectively.
The brothers kept on playing tricks on people and and generally causing havoc, and the parents started to despair of sorting them out.
Then a new priest came to town to take over at the church.
The parents heard how the new priest had once been the headmaster of a boy's school, and had a reputation as a strict disciplinarian who was very good at sorting out naughty boys, so they asked if he'd talk to the brothers.
The priest said he would, but that it would be better if he talked to them one at a time.
the younger brother, the eight year old went in first. The priest met him at the door, stood over him, shook his finger in the boy's face and said very sternly "Where is god?"
The boy looked up. The priest repeated in an even harsher tone "Where is god!"
The priest then bent down and grabbed the boy by the collar, then said in a very grim voice "looking right into the boy's face where! is! God!"
Whereupon the boy birst into tears and ran for the door.
running home, he went and hid in the closet and was joined there by his elder brother. "What's wrong?" the elder brother asked.
the younger boy turned to him and said "we're in real trouble now, god's gone missing and they think we did it!" .
Okay funny stories aside, the service was actually rather lovely, which was doubly nice given that yesterday morning when trying to get a few of the articles I need to hopefully finally! finish my Phd (which I need to start working on again next year), the library proved to be completely arsy and probably will require me to run in and be belligerent at them in person, which will be quite irritating, since it's hard enough to work on the dam thing now.
On the other hand we had a lovely day today, trotting out to look at crimbo decorations with my parents (we now have quite a wonderful light up star in our living room).
To sellebrate my brother and his girlfriend getting engaged, Mrs. Dark and I want to take them out for a meal, and to cellebrate the disney corporation wanting to make even more money, he suggested we all go and see the last Jedi, though being as Mrs. Dark has refused to watch force awakens up to now (she was ensensed when she heard about Han solo), it'll be interesting, indeed we're probably going to watch Starwars 7 tonight.
mrs. Dark has promised physical violence if anything happens to Luke skywalker in the next film so it should be interesting.
Games wise, I've again been surprised at just how addictive flexible survival has proved, especially since you don't even have to log in to the mud but can just pull up the web page and spend your patrol points battling or doing social actions to advance your character quickly (something I wish other web games had), though I've taken a little time out from that to play a few other games such as treasure islands and crazy party.
so things are good over here, if rather cold right now .
