Wait you are so far north your times are all fucked up anyway.
Do people ever use the word morning when midnight sun is going on?
yeah, because at some point it starts to turn from almost-dusk to dawn
I'm one hour ahead of bob, anyway. And not all that far north so it does look like dawn is going to come sometime.
sky has gone from black to greyish blue.
Huh, that's interesting.
I'm actually really jealous. I might have mentioned this before, but I think stuff like such dramatic variation is super neat.
I keep thinking "I should move to a country where this happens" and then I'm like "Oh right, Alaska. Duh."
Then I think "I should move to a better country where this happens" :P
it makes summers pretty awesome.
Usually. The midnight sun was annoying in the army after being used to sleeping in a pitch-black room.
I just find the whole thing awesome. I visit my aunt in Montana in early July every year and I love the changes. I mean it's not that far north, but it's still twilight until eleven and it gets sunny around six, and compared to where I am now, that's a huge difference. It's really trippy to really be able to see that.

I'm sure it'd get boring after a while, but I kind of love darkness.
The clouds and rain and wind and dark and cold have been steadily encroaching here, and it makes me ecstatic. I literally start bouncing everywhere when winter comes.

I'm going to make the thread, but I came to a realisation earlier - if I make an OP with the game's rules, then pretty much the entire game is going to be online, for free, in perpetuity. So I'm going to send you all a PM with the relevant rules for the game, and the OP will have a basic run-down of turn-by-turn play instead of being the entire PDF.
OP will be up soon, and we can begin the opening procedures for the game!
Saw the newest Adventure Time. Loved it. Especially Prismo.
I was hoping that evil alternate reality Finn would end up in Ooo and be a new villain. There's still the possibility for that, though, what with them introducing the multiverse. I imagine that the Fiona and Cake episode in this season is going to have to do with the alternate realities too.

I gotta admit it does suit the season very well.
This is the good part of winter. With the cold, rainy, stormy days.
The part where everything's just dead and cold including the weather is boring.

You know what's sheer, unadulterated literary 100-mph chin music?
The World That Never Was by Alex Butterworth. I swear to God I have never read a tougher book in my life that I still knew was playing fair. Every single page it seems there's another word or two I've never seen before.
I am going to flip randomly to... let's see... page 81. From pages 81-85, here are the words used that I do not recognize:

That's just a five-page spread. The entire book hits you with that kind of vocabulary.
The only one of these that I recognize enough to even guess the meaning for are actually from proper nouns.
That's basically cheating though and sort of ridiculous.

It's like... I know there's an awesome story in there. The book is about anarchism in the United States and Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It's worth the struggle. But holy shit, Butterworth is not screwing around. He demands a ton of you and does not let up at all.

That game seems interesting. I will no doubt read a bit and then lose track and forget about it
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
I know four of those for sure, and one I think I know
Insouciant - innocent, youthful
rookeries - aviaries? I think
saturnalian - in the manner of Saturnalia, a Roman festival of the sun. I would read this as bacchanalian, pagan, wanton
soirees - galas, balls
Mephistophelian - in the manner of Mephistopheles, alternately described as the Devil or one of his demons. So infernal, devilish, wicked.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

A good policy to have, yes, I think I did the same with your CYOA thing.
I didn't know peremptory and expiate; peremptory's etymology felt like annoyingly obscure latin while expiate's etymology was fairly straightforward (I just didn't know it)

Again: the entire book has words like that.
Let me hit you with one complete sentence from the book. From page 195:
"And in such essays as Reclus' 'Ouvrier, prends la machine!', with its loathing of artifice, suburbs and spiritual deracination, and medievalist longing, there was surely much for Morris to approve."
Have fun.
