I won't be able to move as much either, now that I'll be in regular school again (and I'll try to avoid going online while doing homework, which will take extra long, being in French), so don't worry about not being able to move as often. Our games will just have to be slow most of the time.

I'd like to start with regular Shogi, just to get back into it, then move on to Dobutsu Shogi.

EDIT:  Also, it was nice to see Bingowings mention me a few times, even if it was to worry about where I was.  Good to know I wasn't forgotten in my absence.  But I should clarify I didn't disappear because of any perceived criticism about my clothing choices or gender identity, so fear not.  :-)

 It's always nice to see an older member return after a long absence. Ziggy's been dropping in again as well. Even if those members are all before my time, I read a lot of old threads and the beginnings of current ones, so I almost feel like I've conversed with them myself. :)

I know what that's like. It's going to be a busy year for me, and I don't know if I'll be able to spend much time here. Whenever things slow down, I think I'll end up spending waaay too much time catching.

Lost In Space (1998)

Bad CGI and Mickey Mouse Girl aside, it was a fun movie with some good photography.

2.5/5 stars

Depends on what side of the pond you're on. ;)

 Let's all forget about that little piece of land up north, shall we... ;)

"Rumour" is spelled incorrectly in the updated title. ;)

I love those as well. I also love the Guide to the Wildlife of Star Wars, or whatever the heck it's called. That stuff is better than most of the EU, in my opinion.

Today I went to Mass in a different language for the first time. I never thought of it before, but the nice thing about the liturgy, not that most people here care, is that a person can follow along in any language, since it's the same wherever you go (as long as it's the same rite, which most Catholic churches are).

The first picture is one of our 430 gallon tanks. We have another 430 gallon tank to its left, with larger and more aggressive fish in it, like Oscars and African Cichlids. The second picture is the 300 gallon tetra tank. We still have the 180 gallon tank upstairs, and the 112 gallon tank, which we use for baby guppies, platys, etc. and the pregnant female live-bearers.

EDIT: Or at least that's how it was and will be when we get back to the house in Alberta. I miss having fifteen tons of water in my basement....

I finally got around to uploading a couple pictures of our tanks to Flickr. I said I would do it earlier, but I was hoping to get better pictures first. Then my family ended up going to Québec, and with the cleaning and month-long trip, I wasn't able to upload pics until now.

The tanks weren't looking their best in the pictures, but they're OK. Here they are:

^The images might not show up, but I'm working on it. Flickr changed things again, so I'm trying to figure out how to insert them here.

EDIT: Got it!

LOL, I was trying to figure out what the heck he meant.

The problem is still continuing, without any pattern that I can see. There are even more posts than ever for which I don't receive notifications. And yes, I've checked my spam folder multiple times.

Man, I have to see Guardians of the Galaxy some time. I haven't heard a single negative review of it. I'll have to either watch it in French or wait until I return from Québec, though.

I'm ready whenever you are.

INT. DUQUESNE HOMESTEAD/NASHIRA'S BEDROOM -- SUNRISE

Entering the bedroom, Nik finds 'Shira. Seated on the chair to the left of her bed, dressed in pajamas, Siri stares into the mirror, brushing her pixie-styled strawberry blond hair as bright yellow sunlight falls upon the back of her head from the uncovered window; the joy upon her face is evident.

 Weird...Nashira and Siri share a room? :P

I just got around to reading your second episode. I'm liking it even better than the first one so far.

Don't worry, I'll be back soon!

;)

That's also an interesting idea, Neverar. There are so many things the prequels could have, and should have been...

The possibility that there is no God and that there is nothing beyond death but oblivion.

This isn't really secret, though.

 The same goes for me....

I would almost rather suffer through hell than have there be no afterlife. Yet it often seems difficult to believe in the latter.

LOL at this description of Star Wars on Cracked.com:

Your dad?  That's cool.  What was his handle?

 Post Praetorian. He debated me in my Catholic Q & A thread, near the end. He's so completely different in real life that he completely took me by surprise when he confessed.

My dad signed up here and debated me without revealing his identity for the first few days, but I don't know that that counts, considering he signed up solely for that purpose and not for anything Star Wars related.

That thing is awesome! Good work!

Ouch, good luck. I'll continue to keep you and the baby in my prayers. If we can't play for a while yet, that's OK.

If we're able to play, I'll be two hours ahead of you now, so there will be less time to play in the evening, unfortunately.

Being completely immersed in a different language is an interesting experience. I was only in Quebec for a few days, since we went through to New Brunswick and are touring the Maritime provinces now, but I can tell it's going to be quite difficult. I wish I had had more time to do some hardcore studying with regards to French (we left about a month after we began serious discussion about going to Quebec).

Yay, I have a connection to the internet for the first time in twenty days!!!

I'll be ready for a game in a couple weeks.
