[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:23] <Annie> hi KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:25] <DesertRose> I drive past their property all the time and the mail box is a giant lion.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:26] * Evie waves
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:27] <the_Bee> hi KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:28] <DesertRose> Hi KK.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:28] <Audrey> Hi KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:30] <Alkari> Yay! Hello KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:35] <KK> Hi, gang.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:40] <jemler> hi KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:11:56] <Alkari> See Evie - I *am* Here!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:04] <Evie> I know. I'm pinching myself.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:12] <DesertRose> Holy smoke, is there an eclipse? Alkari and KK here at the same time?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:22] Join Temprus has joined this channel (~temprus@journeyman.otherworlders.org).
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:24] <Evie> I'm sure this is a dream. Teach me to write until 4;30 am on the night before KK chat!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:28] <DesertRose> Hi Temprus.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:32] <Alkari> shhh ... don't tell them at work!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:34] <Temprus> Hello all
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:36] <the_Bee> hi temprus
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:40] * DesertRose passes the soup pot around again.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:46] <Alkari> Hi temprus
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:47] <Temprus> But you should have had an extra hour
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:56] <DesertRose> Thought I'd see if anyone wants seconds of the chicken noodle soup.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:12:59] <Evie> I'm sure I just heard the Ladyhawke music start up and I'm waiting to see which one is the hawk and which is the wolf. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:13:25] <Alkari> lol - I need coffee more than soup
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:13:39] * DesertRose makes a nice hot pot of coffee too.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:13:42] <Evie> I'll take some of jemler's hot spiced cider
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:13:48] <Alkari> KK, how is the family now? you were having quite a time there for a while?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:13:53] * jemler serves hot spiced apple cider
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:14:01] * the_Bee pours Alkari a cup of hot fresh coffee.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:14:13] * DesertRose heats some water for tea for anyone who wants hot tea instead of coffee or cider.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:14:21] <Annie> Evie, you didn't just do a mahooosive spoiler there, did you? ;)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:14:36] * Alkari thanks the_Bee
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:14:44] <Evie> Not really, no. :-D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:14:49] <Annie> ok, cool
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:15:01] <KK> All is well. Scott is healing nicely, not as sore as he was; goes back for his post-op check on Tuesday.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:15:18] <DesertRose> Did they manage to repair the hernia on the first try?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:15:31] <the_Bee> Good. Melantha had her annual last Thursday.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:15:37] * DesertRose passes KK some chicken noodle soup for Scott.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:15:58] <KK> We hope so, DesertRose.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:01] Join kirienne has joined this channel (Mibbit@8E7DA3.600DB1.972BBA.8DCE62).
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:05] <DesertRose> Hi kirienne.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:05] <Alkari> And is your mother OK?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:09] <Evie> hi kirienne
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:11] <the_Bee> Hello Kirienne!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:12] <kirienne> Hi Everyone
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:12] <jemler> Kirienne?!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:16] <Alkari> Hi kirienne
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:16] Quit Elim has left this server (Quit: Leaving).
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:16:50] <the_Bee> did we scare Elim away?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:03] <KK> Mother is doing well, coming to us for Thanksgiving and Christmas on the train, arriving on the 21st.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:04] <Evie> we're a scary crew
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:06] <Alkari> Yes ... he gets terrified of this crew!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:15] <KK> She'll be attending Darkovercon.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:18] <DesertRose> I doubt that. Elim's pretty hard to scare.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:21] <Alkari> good to hear KK.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:28] <DesertRose> I wish I could go to Darkover.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:32] <Annie> hi kirienne
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:17:47] <kirienne> I'm glad she's going to be with you KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:18:06] <the_Bee> I was sorry not to meet more DD-ers when I went last year.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:18:43] <kirienne> I hope to someday be able to attend Darkover, but alas, it is not possible without a financial miracle.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:03] <Evie> ditto
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:18] <Alkari> I'd have to come a LONG way :D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:25] <kirienne> you sure do
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:28] <DesertRose> Yeah, that's quite a flight for you, Alkari.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:32] <Evie> It's just an ocean, Alkari. You can swim it
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:40] <Annie> I'd love to go to Darkover, but crossing the Atlantic is a bit of a deterrent
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:40] <Alkari> SHARKS!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:50] <jemler> swim faster!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:51] <Annie> one day...
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:52] <KK> Alkari, where are you?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:19:56] <kirienne> I have to be content with vacations consisting of attending local SCA events
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:20:03] <Alkari> Sydney, Australia
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:20:05] <Evie> I thought sharks and lawyers gave each other professional courtesy? ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:20:24] <Alkari> we do!! but only Australian sharks
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:20:50] <Alkari> and the white pointers are a law unto themselves
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:20:53] <DesertRose> Australian sharks makes me think of the sharks from "Finding Nemo."
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:20:56] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:21:02] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:21:03] <KK> Ah, you're down with Duck.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:21:13] <Alkari> No, I *will* come back to the US one day ... maybe in a couple of years
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:21:14] <Annie> I prefer the turtles - duuuuude
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:21:40] <Alkari> My next trip is locally to the Kimberleys and Kakadu
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:21:45] <DesertRose> My flatmate at the time and I went to see that movie together and forever after referred to Crush as "The Stoner Turtle."
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:22:20] <Annie> we are going to be a bit constrained over the next few years as DD will have wall to wall exams
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:22:43] <Evie> I took my kids to see that movie, and a week or so later my DD told a total stranger in line somewhere, "This is my brother; he has short-term memory loss."
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:22:51] <Alkari> Have you done any more writing, KK? *hopes Alaric is not still in tree charming squirrel*
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:22:52] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:23:10] <Annie> well his next step is a big one :O
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:23:13] <the_Bee> and any new movie news?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:23:45] <Alkari> Evie wants to know who you have cast for Duncan :D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:23:53] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:24:26] <the_Bee> and Nigel
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:24:32] <DesertRose> Is there a physical description of Duncan in the books? For some reason, I'm wanting to see him with short brown hair and blue eyes, but that could easily be wrong.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:24:34] <kirienne> :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:24:55] <jemler> i used this line on my sister: 'I'm smiling because I'm your brother. An laughing because there's nothing you can do about it!"
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:09] <DesertRose> What did your sister say to that, jemler?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:10] <Evie> But I'll settle for finding out where you're going to find a man with Elizabeth Taylor eyes for Denis Arilan. Oh, wait...Bausch & Lomb. :-D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:25] <jemler> she just gave me a dirty look.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:25] <KK> My screenwriter tells me that one of the directors in the first raft of choices has expressed interest in the project, and will be meeting with the producers in the next week or two. And that's all I know.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:26] <Evie> he has brown hair and blue eyes, yes
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:45] <the_Bee> kate Walsh looks a lot like you description of Jehana in Dr, if she isn't too old for the part.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:25:54] <jemler> and his mother's eyes were grey
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:26:07] <KK> DR, you're remembering correctly. He does have brown hair and blue eyes.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:26:13] <DesertRose> Okay, good.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:26:29] <DesertRose> Glad to know my mind isn't slipping with me filling it up with all this anatomy and physiology. :)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:26:44] <Evie> Darker or lighter brown hair? I've always pictured a more medium shade rather than almost blond or very dark.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:27:06] <DesertRose> I was kind of picturing a medium brown, maybe with slight red highlights in the sun.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:27:06] <Alkari> KK, do you see Alaric as more like his father or mother in looks generally? They both had fair hair.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:27:20] <Alkari> And yes, medium brown for Duncan.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:27:47] <DesertRose> Kind of like my own hair color but lighter. I have dark brown hair with red highlights.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:27:54] <Alkari> He has to be attractive to the ladies, despite being a priest!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:28:04] <the_Bee> contact lenses and hir-dye can be used if the right actor has the wrong colors.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:28:06] <KK> Medium brown, no particular red highlights.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:28:17] <DesertRose> Well, Maryse obviously thought he was attractive!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:28:26] <Evie> so did several ladies in Coroth
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:28:31] <jemler> alkari, are you talking about Duncan?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:28:46] <Evie> So does a certain lady typing on her Asus Eee. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:29:10] <DesertRose> I don't know how you can use that thing, Evie. The keys are so teensy I can't type on those things.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:29:10] <jemler> Evie, describe Duncan for us
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:29:37] <Evie> Mine has an almost standard sized keyboard. It's a smidge larger than the earlier model, but that little bit makes a difference
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:29:43] <Evie> and I have small hands
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:29:50] <Alkari> Yes, jemler - DC refers to the ladies in Coroth being after Duncan almost as much as Alaric
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:00] <the_Bee> If kelson is 16 in the movie, jehana might need to be aged a bit too.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:11] <DesertRose> I've got big clunky hands; I hate laptops because the keyboards are always too small for me.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:22] <Alkari> my Acer is fine
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:27] <Alkari> good sized keys
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:41] <Evie> Well, he's only 2 years older than in the books, so Jehana wouldn't need to be aged all that much
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:41] <Alkari> Acer Aspire
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:44] <Evie> if at all
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:30:45] <jemler> i was going to by an ipad after new years
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:31:23] <Evie> Not a lot of difference between a 30 y.o. and 32 y.o. woman after all
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:31:29] <Alkari> It's really getting the generational gap correct in terms of ages.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:32:00] <jemler> only to men. no woman EVER reaches 30, let alone 32.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:32:23] <Alkari> pardon me, we DO reach 30 - we just don't go much past 50 :D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:32:23] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:32:44] <Evie> and chances are, the actual actor playing Kelson will be older than 16 anyway, but playing 16, so she just has to look old enough to have had him in her late teen years.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:32:47] <jemler> i can't go past 40. that's why i am 7 yo
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:32:49] <Alkari> after 50 our memory for 'relevant' birthdays gets very bad
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:33:20] <Evie> I'm 29. i've been 29 for years. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:33:24] <Alkari> and lapses totally at 59
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:33:36] <Alkari> I don't want to be 29 again.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:33:55] <the_Bee> Every birthday is my 21st. March 21st.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:33:59] <jemler> they say "Life begins at 40", so when I turned 40, i started over.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:34:09] <Alkari> excellent idea, jemler
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:34:19] <kirienne> I started having more fun in my 50's than I ever had before. :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:34:27] <Alkari> I did that too
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:34:41] <Evie> Oh good...in that case I'll be 8 in a few weeks! *puts on party hat*
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:34:49] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:35:25] * Alkari sends candles and streamers
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:35:34] <jemler> let's have a slumber party
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:35:41] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:02] <jemler> pjs optional, of course
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:07] <DesertRose> jemler!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:18] <the_Bee> Jehana was 18 when kelson was born. with early marriages in those times. a 16-year-old mother is not far-fetched.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:19] <jemler> yes
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:42] <Evie> That's fine, I'll put him in the pup tent in the back yard. The one that comes with the pup included.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:50] <Alkari> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:51] <DesertRose> LOL, Evie.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:36:56] <jemler> in the doghouse agian!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:00] <Alkari> He can look out for wandering USB keys
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:03] <DesertRose> So KK, how's the writing going?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:03] <Evie> there's that option too
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:06] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:22] <kirienne> I'm so glad that USB was found
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:37] <DesertRose> Yeah, that would have been a world of no fun if Evie had lost it for good.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:37:49] <Evie> So am I!!! I did NOT want to write Chapters 15 and 16 again from scratch!!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:38:17] <Alkari> I want to know what's happened to 8 y.o. Alaric stuck up that tree!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:38:44] <Alkari> poor lad must be starving by now - hope you have rescued him, KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:38:57] <Evie> KK, I lost my b/r/a/i/n/ USB Drive outside when Luke got out and promptly went feral, hiding under bushes for an hour or so. It was attached to my LED flashlight, and somehow fell off in the grass under a bush, with a year's worth of writing and pics on it
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:39:40] <Evie> Moral of story...do FREQUENT backups, and don't let Luke get out of the house! :-D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:39:46] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:39:50] <Alkari> we don't know if she was more worried about losing Dhugal or Jass!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:40:15] <Evie> Neither. My Duncan pic from Morphthing was on there too. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:00] <Evie> Luke is sleeping soundly again, btw. I think he's finished his little PTSD nightmare he was having a few minutes ago
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:09] <DesertRose> Poor kitty.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:11] <Evie> No more growling and snarling at my kneecaps
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:45] <KK> I haven't figured out exactly what an ipad is good for, is you mainly use your computer for word processing and surfing the web and e-mails.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:55] <KK> Hello?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:58] <Alkari> exactly, KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:41:59] <Evie> hi
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:42:15] <DesertRose> I don't know, just a way for Apple to make more money, I'm sure.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:43:27] <KK> Humph. For some reason, the text didn't scroll up.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:43:39] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:01] <the_Bee> That's happened to me . I get behind in the conversation.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:03] <Alkari> have you got it all now, KK?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:03] <Evie> we're reading you fine,, though, KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:13] <KK> For that matter, for me, a cell phone is a phone. I don't need to access e-mail or the web. (If course, I spend most of my waking hours at the computer, so of course I don't need to have that stuff on my phone.)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:21] <jemler> well, when i go for dialysis, i won't be able to take my desktop, and my niece is using my laptop.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:36] <Alkari> LOL @ KK.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:42] <KK> THAT is a good reason for a cell phone that does all those other things.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:45] <the_Bee> I'm with KK. No internet on my phone.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:57] <kirienne> My cell phone is just a phone too, I use it only for emergencies anyway
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:44:58] <Alkari> Never worked out why I need a phone with a camera and all the functions I never us
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:00] <Alkari> I
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:10] <Evie> I use a smartphone, but that's because I can also read on it, carry Word docs, check email, and even log into KK chat on it. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:18] <Audrey> But phone cell phones are getting rare
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:18] <jemler> i don't tex\t thru the phone, that's what my mouth is for!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:18] <Evie> if I'm away from a computer at the time
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:21] <Alkari> I tried to get a SIMPLE one for my elderly mother, and it is so difficult
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:32] <Alkari> not to mention the tiny key sizes they have
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:55] <Alkari> Wait until these smart young things are elderly with bad eyesight and arthritic fingers!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:45:56] <KK> I briefly tried a smart phone before I got my current Pantech, but when I tried 3 times to pick up a call and the phone changed settings when I put it to my ear, I'd had it with that phone. Back to the store it went.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:02] <Annie> I just hate phones - and I must have said that around the kids a lot, as apparently one of my 4yos was at home and the phone rang and he looked at his mum and said "Ann hates phones"
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:05] <Evie> Oh, I used the camera and video fairly often on mine. I taped my daughter's school play just last week
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:24] <Alkari> if I want a camera, I take a camera.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:31] <Evie> LOL @ Annie
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:34] <the_Bee> a camera phone might be nice, but nothing more complicated.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:36] <Annie> we aren't allowed to film school plays
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:44] <KK> The carmera function is useful, and this one has a much better camera than my last one.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:46:58] <Evie> Yes, if I know ahead of time I'll need a camera, I do too, Alkari. But things happen spontaneously, and I don't always have the fancy camera on me
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:47:07] <KK> And I CAN pick up e-mails and probably sufr the net, if I really wanted to.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:47:15] <jemler> i bought a digital camcorder/camera from Polaroid for $45
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:47:23] <jemler> i can record 2 hours of video
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:47:40] <KK> I can video, but have never found a reason to do so.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:47:52] <jemler> youtube
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:08] <KK> One good thing about the smart phone I tried: its keyboard was virtual, on the screen, so the keys were larger.

[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:18] <jemler> rehi Elim
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:24] <Alkari> all these digital pics - whatever happens to them all? do they ever get looked at?!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:27] <Evie> that's because you don't have my DD begging you to capture every nuance of her wonderful performance, never mind it's on a dark stage performed in black light. :-D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:28] <kirienne> WB Elim
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:35] <Elim> Morning.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:42] <the_Bee> Welcome back, Elim. Hope you survive the experience.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:51] <Evie> spoon, Elim
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:48:59] <KK> But I like flip phones, since they protect the keybad when not in use. The smart phone seems vilnerable to me, with nothing to protect the screen in your pocket.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:49:01] <Elim> Are the two A's an the E going at it again?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:49:02] <Alkari> LOL @ Evie. We are like Annie and no videoing school plays, etc
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:49:41] <Annie> but then the school videos them and sells the DVDs so it's not for child protection like they say it is - it's just to make more money :(
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:50:10] <Evie> No, Alkari has sheathed her fangs someplace besides my neck today, Elim. That's only when we're hashing out plot points or when I'm playing devil's advocate for poor Denis Arilan. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:50:15] <jemler> they trying to stop you from filming your own kid!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:50:27] <Annie> oh they don't *try*, they *do*
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:50:35] <Alkari> Also so that they don't get 500 parents all trying to film their little darlings
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:51:09] <Elim> The shcool should have it's own video production program doing the filming.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:51:14] <Evie> Well, we were asked not to use flash, but that's because that ruins a black light show
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:51:16] <Alkari> and jockeyng for position, etc Not to mention that the noise starts tointerrupt people
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:51:28] <Elim> Even if it sucks, it will be 100% better than anything the parents do.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:51:47] <DesertRose> I like flip phones too, KK. My current phone is a slide phone and I wish I had a flip phone instead.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:52:11] <the_Bee> I just bought the cheapest phone I could find.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:52:38] <jemler> i bought a $40 tracfone with double minutes for the life of the phone
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:52:49] <DesertRose> The slide phone is easier to accidentally hang up on someone.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:52:58] <Evie> brb Gigi is taking advantage of my distraction to get into places she shouldn't
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:53:10] <DesertRose> I hate that. I'll be in the middle of a conversation and my phone'll slip and hang up on the person I'm talking to.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:53:27] <the_Bee> Can you switch carriers/service providers without switching phone units?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:53:33] <DesertRose> Not usually.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:53:47] <Alkari> out here we can
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:53:56] <Evie> depends on the phone model; both carriers have to be using that same type of phone
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:54:01] <Alkari> you buy your own phone and just change SIM cards
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:54:10] <DesertRose> You can switch providers and keep your number.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:54:26] <Alkari> some phones are locked to carriers, but you can get them unlocked,for a price
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:54:31] <the_Bee> if the new SIM card is the same size and shape?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:54:54] <the_Bee> Mine is Boost Mobil.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:55:08] <KK> I think the SIM cards are pretty much the same. It's the innards of the phones that differ.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:55:11] <Alkari> not usually problems with that - I have changed phones 4 times with no issue
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:55:23] <the_Bee> good to know.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:55:39] <KK> And the phone store will usually take care of all the wwitching voer for you.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:55:48] <Alkari> Yes.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:55:49] <KK> switching
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:56:14] <the_Bee> and twitching and witching? OOOOOHHH!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:56:31] <Alkari> I had a great little flip top one, but it died. And of course, three years and lots of models later, they don;'t make anything as nice as it!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:57:02] <Evie> we had a virtual Halloween/ Samhain party in Rhemuth's Great Hall (aka the Forum). I went as Meraude. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:57:19] <DesertRose> I went as Rothana.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:57:25] <Alkari> to bewitch Nigel?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:57:49] <the_Bee> I'd love to see a movie that treats Samhain with respect.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:57:56] <Evie> Darn, i knew I forgot to do something! *adds 'Bewitch Nigel' to to-do list*
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:02] <jemler> what will Duncan do?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:10] <Alkari> not to mention that low cut gown
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:28] <Alkari> not QUITE as low as Oksana of course
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:34] <kirienne> I couldn't think of a character to go as, then I forgot about it so I missed it. I was at an SCA event over the actual Halloween/Sanhain weekend

[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:51] <Alkari> I was at the dressage championships
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:55] <the_Bee> Duncan was wearing a low-cut gown??!!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:58:57] <jemler> wb bynw
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:03] <DesertRose> I wish I could make SCA events again. Sadly, too broke.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:04] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:08] <the_Bee> hi bynw
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:12] <DesertRose> rehi bynw.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:24] <Alkari> hi bynw
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:30] <bynw> hi all
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:42] <kirienne> Hi Bynw
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:49] <Evie> Fortunately, Bee, that wasn't in reference to Duncan. I don't think they make low cut cassocks. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [19:59:53] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:16] <Alkari> ROFL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:16] <Evie> and Duncan the cross-dresser is in some alternate universe I'm happiest not visiting. :-D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:19] <jemler> ask Rothana.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:35] <kirienne> LOL, I've not seen any low-cut cassocks in the vesting closet at my church :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:38] <DesertRose> Yikes!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:48] <DesertRose> (to Duncan-the-cross dresser)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:55] <Alkari> Duncan is allowed to appear in practice tunics after sword practice
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:00:59] <Evie> He's doubtless with Alaric of the Pink Tutu
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:03] <KK> I saw a sleeveless cassock, actually. Turns out the sleeves were removed for an organizt to wear under the surplice, so it doesn't interfere with playing.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:10] <DesertRose> And Brenda?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:13] <Alkari> SHHH. Don't give Duncan ideas!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:23] <Evie> that makes sense, though
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:28] <KK> Duncan often wears civvies.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:30] <Alkari> He'll want a black tutu
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:38] <Evie> Brenda was a slip of the sword during the accolade, DR. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:40] <jemler> with a tonsure
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:40] <kirienne> I agree Evie, I don't want to visit that alternate universe either
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:01:43] <Alkari> or a purple one
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:05] <DesertRose> That's a very weird AU you guys have constructed.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:07] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:13] <jemler> Loris had a tonsure, didn't he?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:18] <Annie> ok now we are getting back into tutu territory it's time for me to call it a night or I'll never get up for work in the morning
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:22] <the_Bee> Isn't purple the liturgical color for some church season or other?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:23] <Evie> You can blame Brenda on typing fingers having a bad day
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:28] <Alkari> rofl @ Annie
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:35] <DesertRose> LOL, take care Annie.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:42] <jemler> nite annie
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:43] <Annie> night all
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:46] <the_Bee> nighters, Annie.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:46] <Evie> Yes, jemler.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:49] <kirienne> night night & huggggles Annie
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:51] <Alkari> Bye
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:02:57] <Annie> have a nice week everyone
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:03:02] <jemler> i wonder who polished his head ;)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:03:02] <DesertRose> You too.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:03:10] <Evie> Duncan's tonsure is also mentioned, usually in reference to growing it mostly out before a battle
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:03:10] Quit Annie has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:03:54] <Alkari> so you can cast a bald guy and just stick on a tonsure wiglet?!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:04:04] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:04:17] <Evie> How about casting a guy with a full head of hair and just putting a skull cap on it? ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:04:24] <kirienne> speaking of vesting, I an now a Lay Assistent at my church, I had a training as I served twice, but have a feeling I am going to be on my own now as the priests have both said I did well, with no major blunders
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:04:28] <Evie> I mean, who's to know? :D
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:04:48] <Evie> cool, kirienne
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:04:56] <Alkari> Oh, just get the guy to trim his real hair
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:02] <the_Bee> How wide is a tonsure in Danc an's order? A bald dome or just a token patch?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:12] <kirienne> if fulfills my childhood dream of being an alter girl, LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:25] <the_Bee> Duncan's order.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:26] <KK> Token patch.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:43] <Evie> we don't have cool vestments in my church, alas, unless T-shirts count. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:51] <Alkari> OK, so Evie can lust after Duncan's almost full head of hair
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:56] <KK> Bee, purple is the liturgical color for Lent.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:05:57] <jemler> kirienne, how big is your tonsure?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:06:02] <kirienne> my allergies are affecting my vision, so sorry for typos today. :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:06:16] <Evie> Oh good, KK. I've always pictured him more with a token patch, esp. since the few times it's ever mentioned, it seems like he's forever growing it out
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:06:17] <kirienne> I have no tonsure, Jemler, LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:06:18] <the_Bee> so you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking down on him. and no one should look down on Duncan.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:06:41] <DesertRose> How tall is Duncan supposed to be? I know Alaric's a little above average height.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:06:50] <jemler> especially with Evie around
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:00] <bynw> must go eat guess i had a short visit bbl
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:04] <Evie> Oh, I always look up to Duncan. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:06] Quit bynw has left this server (Quit: Leaving).
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:16] <DesertRose> Yeah, but you're short, Evie. :)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:24] <kirienne> :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:27] <jemler> i won't comment on that
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:07:37] <Evie> Isn't there a scene in which Duncan is comparing Kelson's height to Alaric's and realizing he's shooting up pretty quickly?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:08:00] <Alkari> Yes, possibly in QFSC?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:08:11] <DesertRose> I know there's some commentary somewhere in the Histories of King Kelson about Kelson and Dhugal both gaining some considerable height.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:08:29] <DesertRose> Might be QfSC.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:08:29] <Alkari> But is Alaric "tall" or just medium height, KK?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:08:38] <jemler> TKJ. at the beginning, during the archery contest with Conal
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:08:43] <Evie> I've always pictured Duncan as being a little shorter than Alaric, but not short, just closer to average than Sir Darkling Deryni
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:09:22] <KK> Alaric is tallish, but not extraordinarily tall. Duncan is about the same.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:09:40] <Alkari> I always thought of him as around 6ft possibly 6ft 1 or so
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:09:40] <Alkari> Duncan about 5'10
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:09:54] <DesertRose> That
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:09:58] <kirienne> Oooohhh, I love th\at nickname for Alric, Sir Darkling Deryni :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:09:58] <jemler> that's my height
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:10:00] <DesertRose> That's pretty tall for medieval guys.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:10:01] <Evie> So Alaric isn't going to go out for the basketball team necessarily
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:10:22] <Evie> For your average medieval, but within the range for noblemen (who had better diets)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:10:28] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:02] <the_Bee> Is that where we got the idea that taller=better?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:16] <jemler> Kareem Abdul Jabbar
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:16] <Evie> Henry VIII was fairly tall for his day, IIRC.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:18] <DesertRose> Well, I know Mary Queen of Scots was considered extremely tall because she was about 5'11"-6'.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:45] <Evie> Yes, and Eliz I was a little shrinky-dink in comparison
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:53] <the_Bee> That's still tall for a woman. Meraude is short.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:11:59] <DesertRose> That's still pretty tall for a woman, though, and that would be a good bit later than Duncan/Kelson/Alaric's comparative time period.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:12:02] <KK> Yes, sort of 5-11 to 6 ft for Alaric, 5-10 to 5-11 for Duncan. A 6-footer would be considered on the tall side. We know Brion was medium hright, probably about 5-10ish.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:12:33] <KK> Yes, MQS was tall--taller than Elizabeth.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:12:54] <the_Bee> elizabeth fixed THAT>
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:12:56] <jemler> Conall is shorter tah Kelson, now.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:05] <Alkari> Richenda? Tall/medium?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:06] <DesertRose> Yeah, because Elizabeth I made a catty remark about MQS being "overhigh."
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:12] <Evie> Yes, MQS ended up shorter
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:20] <Evie> by a head
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:23] <Alkari> LOL @ MQS
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:28] <DesertRose> LOL, I was just about to type that.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:41] <jemler> so did Conall
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:13:52] <Alkari> whereas Loris has now been stretched!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:14:30] <Evie> I'm listening to HD in the car these days and actually having a few "Poor Conall" thoughts, because he was rather nice before he got testosterone poisoning at puberty.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:14:32] <jemler> i was surprised at that. i figured he was so slimy, the noose should have slid off!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:14:54] <Alkari> those wicked Deryni made sure it didn't
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:01] <DesertRose> Araxie thought he was a brat when they were kids.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:05] <DesertRose> (Meaning Conall.)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:17] <DesertRose> I just finished a re-read of KKB.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:26] <jemler> ahh, they cast an anti-slime spell
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:26] <DesertRose> She refers to him as "horrid Conall."
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:35] <Evie> True, but he was on his best behavior in HD. Then again, Araxie wasn't there to tease. ;-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:38] <the_Bee> I still feel sad for Conall. What aa difference it would have made if Nigel had shipped him off to Carathmoor. to appreciate his own inheritance. It's not as if he were needed at court.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:15:42] <DesertRose> True.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:16:36] <jemler> Conall appreciated his inheritence, he just appreciated Kelson's even more.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:16:42] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:16:53] <the_Bee> Most of the brat references about Conall were retcons anyway.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:17:34] <Alkari> I thinki he did fell like a 'hanger on', but maybe he was seen to be too immature to be given authority anyway?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:17:42] <the_Bee> Jemler, that's because Kelson's inheritance was constantly in Conall's face.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:17:44] <DesertRose> Well, if he'd been shipped off to Carthmoor, he'd have had more opportunity to meet with Tiercel.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:17:49] <Evie> Is the Atlas shelved, or will there eventually be one, KK?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:18:17] <KK> Don't know, DR.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:18:35] <KK> I have to get the current book finished before I can think seriously about what the next project might be.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:18:48] <jemler> only if Tiercel knew of a portal in Carthmoor
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:18:51] <Evie> I'm having a huge hankering for maps with mileage gauges
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:18:51] <Alkari> KK, did Richenda grow up in Andelon, or in mostly Rheljan?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:19:00] <Alkari> LOL @ maps
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:19:02] <the_Bee> Tiercel gave Conall what he longed for: attention.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:19:23] <DesertRose> How is the current book coming along, KK?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:19:27] <the_Bee> and interest.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:19:37] <KK> Made some progress this week, though. Alaric is no longer in the tree. He's having to answer to Vera for having gone off without supervision; much worse than his father or Jared. And of course, sadly, he'll never get the chance to explain to Kenneth....
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:20:00] <Alkari> LOL @ explaining to "mum
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:20:29] <Evie> Uh oh...do I need to drag out a hankie re: Kenneth?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:20:41] <the_Bee> Aunt Mum in Alaric's case.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:20:59] <DesertRose> Well, Alaric said in "The Knighting of Derry" that his father died when he was 9, so, yeah, probably.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:05] <Evie> That's as twisty a family tree as poor Dhugal's. "This is my sister/aunt, but we're not rednecks, really!"
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:16] <kirienne> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:17] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:22] <Alkari> poor Vera, dealingwith both Alaric and Duncan as kids
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:31] <jemler> y'all must be mistaken!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:31] <DesertRose> Plus Kevin and Bronwyn.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:21:49] <the_Bee> If Alaric is 8 when he breaks his arm, he'd be 9 the following September.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:22:06] <Alkari> Yes. Poor lady probably wanted to retreat to a convent occasionally!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:22:32] <DesertRose> Probably. Four kids all within about five years, not all her biological kids, but her responsibility.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:22:32] <jemler> she could join Jehana there!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:22:32] <KK> Yeah, it's all coming together.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:22:34] <Evie> She was married to Jared; it would be a short retreat. :-)
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:22:47] <Alkari> lol
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:04] <KK> But I've gotta dash. Our stomachs say it's actually 9:20, and I have supper to cook.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:14] <DesertRose> Okay, KK, thanks for visiting us!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:20] <Alkari> DR sent round chicken soup!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:22] <Evie> Bye!!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:22] * DesertRose shares more soup.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:27] <the_Bee> enjoy your meal, KK! See you next week?
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:28] <Alkari> Thanks KK - nice to Chat
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:34] <Evie> try faxing it to her, DR
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:38] <jemler> nite kk
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:42] <the_Bee> nighters, KK.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:46] <jemler> best to scott
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:46] <KK> Take care, all. I'll be away next week, but will try to check in in two weeks--though my mother will have arrived that afternoon. I'll do my best.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:48] <DesertRose> Faxing soup would make an awful mess of the fax machine.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:23:52] <kirienne> Nighty night & huggles KK
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:06] <Evie> Just the noodles then
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:09] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:10] <KK> Nighters.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:12] <DesertRose> Nighters!
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:24] <Alkari> Delivery via Transfer Portal is safer
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:35] * Alkari waves
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:38] <Evie> yes, but you'll gripe if she builds one before Alaric does
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:41] * DesertRose sends soup via Portal to KK's place.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:42] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday 07 November 2010] [20:24:53] Quit KK has left this server (Quit: ).
"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
