[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:28 PM] <Jemler> hi kk
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:31 PM] <laurna> Hello KK
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:31 PM] <drakensis> hi
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:33 PM] <Evie> hi KK
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:39 PM] Nick CGI485 is now known as The_Bee.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:40 PM] <revanne> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:08:40 PM] <KK> Hello, folks.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:09:24 PM] <Shiral> Hi KK
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:09:30 PM] <laurna> Staying warm all of you out east?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:09:32 PM] <KK> Everybody keeping warm?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:09:51 PM] <Shiral> Well, it's not that big a problem where I am
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:06 PM] <Jemler> i bought the SI swimsuit issue to keep me warm!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:07 PM] <Evie> It's warmed up in TN where I'm visiting, although there is still snow (or actually ice that still looks like snow) on the sides of the road in places.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:12 PM] <laurna> I was complaining about 51F being too cold for me. and Jemler through a snow ball at me.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:23 PM] <laurna> threw
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:32 PM] <Jemler> i only asked! i never threw a snowball!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:42 PM] <drakensis> getting into a rainy spring here
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:43 PM] <laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:44 PM] <Evie> 51 here at the moment would be a little heat wave, Laurna, and I'm in the South!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:10:49 PM] <The_Bee> I'm keeping warm by staying indoors.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:10 PM] <revanne> Yes thank you though I guess I'm way further out east than you meant It sounds to have been fairly horrific. Evie did you get snow in Alabama in the end?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:19 PM] <The_Bee> and my posts aren't showing up. Can you see them?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:25 PM] <Jemler> it's 33 and snowing here
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:27 PM] <Evie> We did, although not until after dark, and it was only an inch or so.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:29 PM] <KK> It's 30 here, and they're still forecasting freezing rain.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:41 PM] <Jemler> i see you bee
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:41 PM] <revanne> hi Bee, your last post appeared ok
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:42 PM] <The_Bee> Okay. Now I see me.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:43 PM] <KK> We see you, Bee.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:11:57 PM] <Evie> but we were off work all day, so that made the forecasts worthwhile. ;-)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:12:08 PM] <Shiral> It's chilly here this weekend and we DID get some rain yesterday. But we need much more
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:12:27 PM] <Jemler> want some snow?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:12:36 PM] <laurna> drizziling here all day today
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:12:46 PM] <Evie> and I was off the next day as well, since we had a delayed opening to let the ice melt off the roads, but I had scheduled the afternoon off for my neurological testing, so I ended up taking the whole day rather than driving all the way to work just to work an hour and then leave.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:12:47 PM] <revanne> KK - have you told us when Sir Se dies?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:12:52 PM] <Shiral> If I wee Ariella, I would MAKE it snow on the Sierras this minute
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:13:23 PM] <Shiral> were, not wee
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:13:27 PM] <Evie> "wee Ariella" sounds like an action figure version
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:13:28 PM] <KK> Not yet, revanne.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:13:43 PM] <Shiral> Oh dear, I've given Evie more ideas. =o)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:13:53 PM] * The_Bee hands out mugs of hot mulled cider, with brandy on the side for those who want it.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:14:14 PM] <revanne> Any chance he might still be around for Duncan's ordination? Not asking you to give anything away...
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:14:19 PM] <drakensis> just watched a documentary on media relations for the British royal family. Kelson would be very grateful not to be under that scrutiny
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:14:22 PM] * Shiral adds the St. David's Tea table, complete with the magic teapot that will supply any kind of tea you want
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:14:35 PM] <Jemler> in your defense shiral, ariella was a major B@#$h! you don't qualify.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:14:41 PM] <laurna> That would be nice I think Revanne
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:14:58 PM] <Evie> I'll bet, drakensis!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:00 PM] <revanne> Thanks Bee, have given up alcohol for Lent (and coffee aaaagh) but Sundays don't count
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:03 PM] <Shiral> I hope not, Jemler. But her ability to produce rain or snow would be really useful in my state, right now.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:11 PM] <KK> I doubt Se will last that long.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:37 PM] <Evie> Oh dear, that sounds ominous.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:41 PM] * Shiral adds crumpets, cream and jam
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:51 PM] <laurna> Be I like Se oh dear
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:15:54 PM] <revanne> scribbles out planning for that bit of fanfic :>(
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:04 PM] <Evie> Though I can understand why...if he'd lived longer, Alaric would have been better trained
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:08 PM] <Shiral> If Se dies, KK, PLEASE let his death serve a noble purpose!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:24 PM] <The_Bee> Well, we don't hear of him in Deryni Rising.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:32 PM] <Jemler> first Robin Williams, then Leonard Nimoy, and now Se! i can't take much more of this.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:32 PM] <KK> I think I can guarantee that.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:53 PM] <KK> Sad to hear of Leonard Nimoy's passing.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:16:58 PM] <laurna> Maybe he did not die just got lost in the far far east and does not find his way home for many many years.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:00 PM] <Shiral> Well good. Don't want him to just fall on the steps and hit his head.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:07 PM] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:15 PM] <Jemler> He lived long, and prospered.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:20 PM] <Evie> Se would be a difficult man to kill, given the extent of his training. ALthough if merasha were involved, all bets are off.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:20 PM] <revanne> wipes cream off hands and licks lips - thank you Shiral
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:22 PM] <laurna> Se not Leonard
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:29 PM] <Shiral> You're welcome, Revanne
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:44 PM] <Shiral> And he made logic, science and pointy ears cool
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:46 PM] * Evie cringes a bit at the thought that Se's death might have been the way Alaric first learns about merasha and its effects on Deryni.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:17:52 PM] <laurna> Loved all the stuff that LN did in his life
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:04 PM] <Jemler> Rhys died from hitting his head.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:13 PM] <Shiral> He was an intelligent and all-around good man
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:36 PM] <Evie> Yes, I hated to read about Nimoy.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:37 PM] <Shiral> Leonard Nimoy, that is, just to keep it clear who I'm talking about.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:46 PM] <Jemler> hi alkari
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:48 PM] <Shiral> Hi Alkari
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:51 PM] <Alkari> Good morning all
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:18:55 PM] <Evie> Rhys was intelligent and an all-around good man too, Shiral.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:19:00 PM] <Evie> hi Alkari
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:19:01 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Alkari
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:19:11 PM] <Shiral> Well yes, he was, Evie. =o) No arguments, there
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:19:33 PM] <The_Bee> any brits or europeans here?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:19:46 PM] <drakensis> yes
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:19:53 PM] <revanne> I haven't got over Rhys death yet. Not as awful as Javan's though
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:20:06 PM] <Evie> drakensis and revanne, Bee
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:20:14 PM] <laurna> Glad to see you drakensis sorry I did not say hi earlier
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:20:20 PM] <Shiral> I'm afraid you'll be answering for Rhys' death for a while to come yet, KK. =o)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:20:39 PM] <Alkari> authors have to be brutal at times, alas
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:20:41 PM] <drakensis> np, Laurna
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:21:17 PM] <Alkari> though I can imagine being upset when writing some deaths
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:21:25 PM] <laurna> YES ! Sorry KK but I threw the book at that point and did not finish it until the next time I read it a year or two later.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:22:03 PM] <Shiral> I took Javan's death pretty hard
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:22:05 PM] <revanne> DH just got home from moving elder DD but told him I had an appointment with some lovely folk from across the Atlantic so couldn't hang around chatting with him
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:22:08 PM] <Evie> I just cried myself to sleep, since I got to that part around 2:00 am and had to go to work the next morning.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:22:21 PM] <Jemler> so did he shiral
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:22:39 PM] <Shiral> Yes. Bled ink all over the place, Jemler
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:22:55 PM] <Alkari> messy
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:00 PM] Quit Shiral has left this server (Client closed the connection).
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:18 PM] <Jemler> nasty client
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:19 PM] <Alkari> I didn't cry - I just kept reading, wondering what was going to happen ...
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:27 PM] <laurna> Jemler what did you do to Shiral
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:38 PM] <Jemler> i did do nudffin!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:43 PM] <Evie> LOL! Yes, revanne, my DH knows my Sunday schedule revolves around chat time. He's glad we have early chat today so we didn't have to leave Tennessee super early to get home in time for regular chat, or leave super late and get home around 1:00 am before a work day.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:43 PM] <Jemler> i did do nuffin!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:46 PM] <Alkari> put the knife away jemler!!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:23:59 PM] <laurna> I love Rhys always have almost as much as Alaric but in a different way.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:24:59 PM] <drakensis> they're both married, Laurna
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:09 PM] <Alkari> Healers fascinate me.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:26 PM] <Jemler> wb shiral
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:27 PM] <Alkari> she has been resurrected!!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:30 PM] <Evie> LOL! Well, I suspect Alaric wasn't married at the point when most of the Alaric fanbabes here fell for him
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:34 PM] <laurna> I would have married Rhys,
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:38 PM] <Shiral> I REALLY need to get the repair crew out to fix my transfer portal!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:43 PM] <laurna> Hello Shiral
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:49 PM] <Shiral> Anyway, I'm back
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:25:55 PM] <Alkari> you have alienated the Camberian Council somehow?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:06 PM] <drakensis> Bishops Heir was the first Deryni book I read. He was married first time I met him.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:19 PM] * The_Bee casts a truth-read spell on Jemler
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:20 PM] <Evie> Duncan's not married, just off the market for even more permanent reasons. *sigh*
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:27 PM] <KK> I was very fond of Rhys, and fascinated by his healing skills.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:27 PM] <Shiral> Maybe because I think some members of that body behave like they sat down on something sharp? =po)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:28 PM] <revanne> laurna, I would hate to have to rescue you from Evaine
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:32 PM] <Alkari> well, I knew he was going to be married by the time I finished the first trilogy
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:33 PM] <Jemler> Richenda, Rothana, Evaine, Morag. The Deryni Bikini Team!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:49 PM] * Shiral smacks Jemler with a trout
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:26:58 PM] <Jemler> lol
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:06 PM] <laurna> lol
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:08 PM] <Alkari> waste of a nice trout
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:15 PM] Nick Shiral is now known as Araxie.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:34 PM] * Araxie smacks Jemler with a hammerhead shark for leaving her off the team.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:37 PM] <Evie> Morag? Sofiana's at least on the right side!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:38 PM] Nick Araxie is now known as Shiral.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:41 PM] <revanne> Hi Shiral, first portals now shape changing
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:46 PM] <Alkari> I was about to ask where she was!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:27:54 PM] <laurna> Actually I feel in love with Alaric because he could heal.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:28:18 PM] <Shiral> And before I wanted to do weather working. Why not go for doing all the fun stuff? =o) All that responsible use of powers gets so dull!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:28:31 PM] <Alkari> And because it was such a contrast to Alaric the warrior - a soldier who could heal
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:29:28 PM] <laurna> Was the Vulcan mind meld an inspiration for Deryni I wonder.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:29:48 PM] <Jemler> it wont let me /nick Kelson_Cinhil_Rhys_Anthony_Haldane
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:29:56 PM] <Shiral> It proved to be a distraction since that music kept starting up just when a Deryni needs to concentrate
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:20 PM] <KK> I suspect it influenced it, Laurna.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:22 PM] <Jemler> the theme from Merasha?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:26 PM] <Evie> KK, I started an altar cloth for Duncan. Here's a photo of the fabric, hemmed and with embroidery started: https://flic.kr/p/r7ZVqf
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:26 PM] <laurna> cool
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:39 PM] <Evie> I've added more gold crosses since taking that photo
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:41 PM] <Alkari> RIP Leonard Nimoy
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:48 PM] <revanne> Just in time for Easter
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:30:56 PM] <Shiral> Well, if Enterprise transporters could be an inspiration for transfer portals...
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:31:26 PM] <Shiral> I keep thinking somebody will find a sleek, black pod on the surface of a deserted planet....
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:31:37 PM] <Evie> I thought it would be a nice Lenten project, revanne, since the first Lent after I started making action figure clothing, I made Duncan some Easter vestments
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:31:48 PM] <KK> Hmmm, who's the new chap with short auburn curls?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:31:49 PM] Quit The_Bee has left this server (Quit: CGI:IRC (Ping timeout)).
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:31:52 PM] <Evie> so hopefully this can be finished by Easter too
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:32:13 PM] <Evie> new chap? Oh! They're actually short brown curls
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:32:18 PM] <KK> Good pic, too, with the mini-Deryni inspecting the cloth in progress.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:33:08 PM] <Evie> He's a Deryni squire from my fanfic. I'm going to use your descriptions of the Haldane squire garments to inspire his costuming, although he's squired to another household, so the colors will be a bit different

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:33:36 PM] <laurna> Poor Bee
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:33:46 PM] <revanne> Clicking on the link just shows me a picture of a panda - think Flickr has gone to bed over here
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:34:08 PM] <KK> I like the trim with topazes, too. And who;s the gal with the lightning flash on her chest and the cool highlight streak?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:34:13 PM] <Alkari> what's the green lightning flash on one of the garments?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:34:22 PM] <Evie> LOL! Oh dear, revanne.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:34:22 PM] <Alkari> Jinx, KK!!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:34:25 PM] <Jemler> she's sul'dam.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:35:09 PM] <Evie> That's Val. She's a medieval history student from the present day whom the littles have hired to help them make sense of the modern world in terms they can understand. ;-)

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:35:50 PM] <Evie> I'll be doing a comic-book style story on that fairly soon, if I can get a chance to work with the photos in ComicLife
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:35:52 PM] <KK> The squire's tunic could be short-sleeved or sleeveless, worn over a white shirt. For Haldanes, red with the Haldane cypher on the left breast.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:36:21 PM] <Evie> Like a sleeveless tunic or a tabard?

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:37:13 PM] <Alkari> and what will they think of all her ideas about modern technology etc
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:37:15 PM] <KK> Sleeveless tunic. The pages wear tabards. And the sleeve or lack thereof would depend on weather and the formality of the event where they're working.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:37:22 PM] <Evie> yes, my littles have spend so much time exploring the 21st Century with me now, going to DragonCon and the like, they decided they needed a cultural guide. ;-)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:37:52 PM] <The_Bee> Is who harry potter's daughter?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:38:11 PM] <Evie> :-P jemler
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:38:31 PM] <Evie> He's referring to the lightning bolt on my modern doll's blouse, Bee
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:39:16 PM] <Alkari> represents the House of Weatherworking!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:39:18 PM] <revanne> I often think that medieval people would struggle to accept that we don't believe in magic in the 21st century - "so that distance speaker you have, how does it work?" - "er......"
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:39:58 PM] <Alkari> and as for flying in large steel containers ...

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:41:04 PM] <laurna> flying in a tin can would be hard to explain, Too bad we don't have flying carpets?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:41:26 PM] <Evie> I already have a series of comic pages with Val and the littles somewhere. We had sort of a free for all impromptu story thread on the action figure forum where we had our figures interacting with other people's figures in a story thread in ways that weren't necessarily in character, and so I introduced Val there as the Mini-Deryni's new cultural interpreter. In one of the story's twists, someone else's figure was flirting wit
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:42:06 PM] <Shiral> Not to mention how we get around on the ground, in even tinier tin cans
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:42:19 PM] <Evie> I don't know. I think they were familiar enough with technology, albeit still in the clockwork and large mechanical stage, to recognize a tech device if they saw one, although they'd be baffled by how it worked.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:42:26 PM] <Shiral> "But, don't you have horses, anymore???
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:00 PM] <laurna> I do! four of them that do nothing but eat me out of house and home. lol
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:06 PM] <Alkari> LOLO.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:17 PM] <Alkari> And they are not trained for war.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:27 PM] <revanne> I was more thinking of the fact that a lot of modern folk are baffled how most of it works
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:27 PM] <Shiral> Well yes. Horses are a good way to get rid of excessive income
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:38 PM] <drakensis> I recall a Highlander fic where one of the immortals noted that a motorcycle was basically a better behaved horse he didn't have to feed if he wasn't going anywhere.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:42 PM] <Evie> But some of the ancient and medieval period machines were surprisingly sophisticated. They were stopped from progressing technologically not from any dearth of ability of imagination so much as lack of the breakthrough of steam and electrical powers to make advances possible
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:44 PM] <Alkari> Like sailing - standing under a cold shower tearing up $100 bills
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:43:54 PM] <Shiral> I ask my iPhone no questions--I just want it to work. =o)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:44:02 PM] <laurna> Two used to jump and two used to pull carrages but now they are lawn ornaments.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:44:09 PM] <Evie> Oh yes, in that sense I still think computers work because fairies live in the box. ;-)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:44:19 PM] <revanne> But beautiful ornaments no doubt
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:44:20 PM] <Alkari> mowers that leave you fertiliser
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:44:33 PM] <revanne> or gremlins in mine
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:44:42 PM] <Shiral> And sometimes, the computer fairies turn into goblins, instead =o)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:45:06 PM] <KK> No, there's smoke that runs electronic devices. And if you see the smoke escaping, then something's wrong.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:45:33 PM] <Evie> No, I think they're gremlins, as revanne says. If you eat at the keyboard, the crumbs fall through, and the internal residents eat after midnight. Heaven forbid you pour water into the keyboard.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:45:37 PM] <Alkari> especially if there is no bread in there to start with
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:00 PM] <revanne> Or in my case once - red wine
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:11 PM] <Jemler> i always wondered where they found all those little people i ser on tv.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:24 PM] <Jemler> see on tv, sorry
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:27 PM] <KK> Hmmm, could, indeed, be gremlins.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:28 PM] <Shiral> Imagine if a Deryni was to encounter Sir? "Why is this thing talking to me?"
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:28 PM] <Evie> You are not supposed to serve Communion in both kinds to keyboards, revanne. I thought you knew that.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:49 PM] <KK> LOL
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:46:58 PM] <revanne> I was probably trying to exorcise it at the time lol

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:48:21 PM] <Evie> My last notebook started inexplicably typing in gibberish. I later discovered I had Num Lock switched on, and some of my letters were turning to numbers, but since it had no indicator light, I had no clue.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:48:24 PM] <laurna> They could talk to Spock like he was one of their own.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:48:28 PM] <DesertRose> Hello all. Sorry for my extended afk.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:48:39 PM] <Alkari> web
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:48:53 PM] <DesertRose> I kind of forgot that this week was early chat. I'd have started supper earlier if I'd remembered before 4:45 Eastern that it was early chat.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:49:01 PM] <revanne> with all due respect to Spock he did remind of Denis Arilan with pointy ears
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:49:08 PM] <Alkari> rofl
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:49:19 PM] <Evie> Or Star Wars, with the round holographic chess board. Round board games, they've probably seen. Round boards with HOLOGRAPHIC MONSTERS would obviously be a Deryni innovation. ;-)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:49:22 PM] <Alkari> I think Spock had a better sense of humour than Denis though
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:49:28 PM] <Jemler> or sheldon
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:49:33 PM] <revanne> welcome back Desert Rose

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:02 PM] <Alkari> he never shows it. I definitely think he sat on a large garden stake at some stage, and no one has removed it.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:05 PM] <KK> I'm back. DH had made tea, forgetting that this is 1st Sunday and early chat, so I had to go get mine.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:26 PM] <Jemler> i think that denis and thomas just need a girl to settle them down.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:33 PM] <DesertRose> WB, KK, and hi. I was afk starting supper when you came in.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:39 PM] <laurna> Nice of DH, KK
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:54 PM] <KK> Yes, Indeed.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:58 PM] <Alkari> say hello to him from all the crew here
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:51:59 PM] <DesertRose> What kind of tea?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:52:12 PM] <KK> Earl Grey, hot, of course.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:52:17 PM] <Jemler> i saw breakfast tea at walmart the other day.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:52:42 PM] <KK> Beverage.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:52:45 PM] <revanne> But he's unkind to Duncan - can't forgive him for making Duncan and Alaric go through that service of penitence
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:52:48 PM] <Shiral2> My computer is being annoying today, although not as much as Bee's
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:52:49 PM] <drakensis> Denis Arilan probably doesn't unbend around Morgan or Duncan because he's pretty much always official-face-of-the-camberian-council around them rather than socializing
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:53:14 PM] <The_Bee> My computer is traveling gon a very slow boat
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:53:16 PM] <KK> I think he wanted to make a point that they wouldn't soon forget.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:53:16 PM] <Shiral2> But hello all, I'm Shiral's mildly evil twin.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:54:00 PM] <The_Bee> Shiral! You've been cloned!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:54:16 PM] <Evie> That service of penitence that helped save their lives by showing them more as faithful sons of the Church rather than just the "evil Deryni" that some of the clergy there assumed that they were?

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:55:00 PM] <Alkari> the problem is, I don't know that they trust him enough to come to him if they really Do encounter a Deryni issue that they need help with
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:55:04 PM] * DesertRose adds fresh, still-warm banana bread to the chat room tea table.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:55:35 PM] <Alkari> The CC member that intrigues me is Sofiana, Richenda's aunt
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:55:52 PM] <revanne> Yes but he didn't need to act so superior - I can mostly see a little smile lurking around the corner of his mouth which really winds me up
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:55:59 PM] <Evie> I think they pretty much started off on the wrong foot with each other and then for the most part stayed there
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:56:04 PM] <KK> I think his part in Duncan's consecration as a bishop pretty much illustrated that he's ultimately on their sides. Carefully, of courser.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:56:28 PM] <KK> Banana bread! Yum! With walnuts?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:56:36 PM] <Shiral> Arilan is fighting the good fight, but he does have a way of annoying those whose trust he wants
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:56:39 PM] <Alkari> Yes, though I wonder how much they trust him. Especially Alaric. Duncan may be more inclined to accept him as a bishop
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:56:47 PM] <DesertRose> No, no walnuts. I got out of the habit of cooking with them when Festil lived with me because he's allergic to them.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:11 PM] <drakensis> I'm sure Arilan would be much more congenial if Duncan turned up with tea and crumpets to discuss an interesting but apolitical point of theology.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:13 PM] <Alkari> But I get the impression that Alaric perhaps has more doubts about matters of faith
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:28 PM] <Shiral> Alaric knows the need to be discreet, but I think it annoys him to have Arilan making judgments on how and when he actually does use his powers
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:30 PM] <Alkari> True - but I'd rather discuss those with Cardiel
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:31 PM] <revanne> warm banana bread at 11pm might give me indigestion - reaches for a slice anyway
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:31 PM] <KK> Re nuts, they're saying now that very young children should exposed to nuts early, which will mostly prevent later allergies.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:48 PM] <Evie> I can understand why they have trouble trusting Arilan. He does have a bit of a tact and diplomacy problem at times, at least in his dealings with them, although at least in Alaric's case I think it's reciprocal.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:57:51 PM] <Alkari> How do people in countries where nuts are an everyday part of the diet cope?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:58:01 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, I've heard that. I certainly ate my share of peanut butter even when I was pretty little and I'm not allergic to any food. Meds and pollen, yes, but not food.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:58:28 PM] <KK> As Alaric has observed on more than one occasion, it makes him nervous if he thinks Upstairs is taking a special interest in him.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:58:28 PM] <Shiral> My brother used to just about live on wheat thins and peanut butter
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:58:38 PM] <Alkari> There are so many do's and don't re pregnancy and early childhood these days that you sometimes wonder how anyone ever survived before!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:58:42 PM] <Evie> I would be extremely congenial if Duncan wants to show up with tea and crumpets to discuss apolitical theology with me, personally speaking.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:58:59 PM] <Alkari> I
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:59:04 PM] <DesertRose> Reason number 6,347 why I have no interest in any more pregnancies.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:59:06 PM] <Shiral> That's true. He was probably the kind of kid who got Veeee-ry quiet when he was up to doing something forbidden...=o)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:59:13 PM] <Alkari> I would rather invite old Wolfram than Denis
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:59:39 PM] <drakensis> I'm sure Alaric would say that we can't all be Nigel and even _he_ probably sinned at least a little once or twice.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [05:59:52 PM] <DesertRose> That, and I'm too old to chase toddlers on a full-time basis anymore.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:02 PM] <Shiral> Oh heck, I'll bet Nigel got into mischief as a child!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:02 PM] <Alkari> quite right, DR
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:17 PM] <KK> Yep, that's a sport for younger folks.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:18 PM] <Evie> I can imagine Nigel saying "Me?" with a look of assumed innocence belied by a twinkle in his eyes.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:26 PM] <revanne> does "Crumpet" have the same unofficial meaning your side of the pond as it does this. Over here if Duncan showed up with a bit of crumpet even Cardiel would disapprove
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:37 PM] <Alkari> I like the friendship that obviously exists between Nigel and Alaric
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:49 PM] <Alkari> Yes revanne - it does here
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:00:57 PM] <Shiral> I wanted MORE time with Brion and Alaric in KD.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:02 PM] <drakensis> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/Buttered_crumpet2.jpg
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:05 PM] <Evie> LOL!!! Well, only for those of us who are Anglophiles, revanne. We don't have crumpets of either sort here.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:06 PM] <Alkari> though it is an old-fashioned term
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:11 PM] <Shiral> Would have loved to see them play a game of Cardounet together
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:19 PM] <drakensis> I meant that sort of crumpet
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:30 PM] <KK> I'd say we mostly eat them over here, Revanne, but that, too, could be taken another way.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:34 PM] <The_Bee> LOL
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:42 PM] <drakensis> although given Duncan's past relationships, Arilan
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:48 PM] * Shiral replenishes the scones, cream and jam on the tea table
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:51 PM] <Alkari> you'vebeen visiting the wrong sort of premises, KK
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:01:57 PM] <drakensis> would probably just be 'oh what have you done now'
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:02:00 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, KK.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:02:42 PM] <Evie> The closest thing we have to crumpets of the bread sort are what we call "English Muffins," but they aren't exactly the same
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:01 PM] <Alkari> We have English style crumpets here, of course
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:12 PM] <laurna> I would love to read more of Nigel and Alaric with Brion. Any short stories would certainly be welcome . Hint KK.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:13 PM] <The_Bee> That pic looks like what we call English muffins.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:14 PM] <Alkari> And also English muffins
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:34 PM] <Alkari> the two are not the same - the pic is what we would call a crumpet here
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:41 PM] <revanne> just discovered smileys
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:44 PM] <Shiral> If they had crumpets in Gwynedd, would we call them "Gwyneddan Muffins"?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:03:54 PM] <Alkari> Yummy with butter and honey!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:04:14 PM] <laurna> Yumm
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:04:17 PM] <Evie> Yes, they're not the same, but that's the closest thing to a crumpet you're likely to find in the US unless an expat from the UK makes some at home.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:04:36 PM] <Shiral> Or you go to a shop that sells English products
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:04:57 PM] <Evie> True. I might be able to find them at World Market. Not sure.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:04:57 PM] <Alkari> And I knomw not to ask for biscuits in the USA because if I do, I get something strange
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:10 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Alkari.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:12 PM] <laurna> I freind offers them at her yearly tea. Along with yummy scones
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:16 PM] <revanne> just to confuse the issue where I come from crumpets- as posted by drakensis- were called pikelets
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:18 PM] <Evie> LOL! Yes, your biscuit is our cookie
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:38 PM] <Alkari> Oh no - pikelets are something else!!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:40 PM] <DesertRose> Our biscuit is a generally not sweet quickbread.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:42 PM] <Evie> oh, interesting!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:05:52 PM] <Jemler> Warburtons?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:06 PM] <KK> Pikelets? That's a new one for me.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:10 PM] <The_Bee> My momn used to make something we called crumpets, but I don't think they were the same as your English ones.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:10 PM] <Alkari> pikeltes here are like a small, thicker pancake
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:14 PM] <revanne> Make a really yummy fruit loaf
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:28 PM] <revanne> Warburtons that is
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:34 PM] <DesertRose> I still want to try my hand at making toasted tea cakes. I have a recipe that I haven't tried yet.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:49 PM] <KK> Ah, fond memories of buying pre-made pancakes in the local Tesco's in Ireland.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:06:49 PM] <Evie> first you toast the tea...no, that's not right....
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:07:31 PM] <DesertRose> http://theenglishkitchen.blogspot.com/2012/03/toasted-teacakes.html
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:07:37 PM] <Alkari> make pikelets and if you have any batter left over, you thin it down and make pancakes later!!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:07:45 PM] <Evie> I'll have to get my friend who does the polymer clay food to make Duncan some crumpets now. You know that, right? ;-)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:08:25 PM] <revanne> Alkari, your pikelets are what I would call scots pancakes
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:08:37 PM] <Alkari> http://www.taste.com.au/images/recipes/wfr/2004/09/15295_l.jpg
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:08:54 PM] <drakensis> which are much like very small american pancakes. english pancakes are much thinner
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:08:55 PM] <Alkari> ah, OK - same basic batter
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:00 PM] <Shiral> So...please explain to me: what exactly IS a Scotch Pancake? are they sweet? savory?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:09 PM] <revanne>
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:12 PM] <Evie> He can share his crumpets with Nivard, Arilan, and Cardiel, scandalizing all of Mini-Gwynnedd until everyone realizes it's just a sort of bread item and settles back down.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:12 PM] <Jemler> or wearing a kilt?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:15 PM] <Alkari> depends what topping you put on them
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:26 PM] <Shiral> "Hey wait, these are made of CLAY???
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:36 PM] <Shiral> "They keep better, that way...
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:40 PM] <Evie>
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:46 PM] <Alkari> you can serve pikelts with sweet topping such as jam and cream, or with stuff like sour cream and smoked salmon
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:47 PM] <revanne> Thicker than ordinary English pancakes and sweet
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:09:54 PM] <Shiral> Thank you
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:10:13 PM] <Alkari> if you don't want them with sweet topping, just don't add sugar to the batter
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:10:35 PM] <Evie> I have a pizza that has stayed fresh for over a year in the basement, along with my grapes, pears in wine, fava beans, and various other dishes. I store them with those magic goblets filled with wine that never spills even when turned on their sides.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:10:36 PM] <Shiral> A lot of British terminology I can figure out from context. But nobody would ever say specifically what a Scotch Pancake actually was
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:10:42 PM] <KK> The crumpets I remember were not sweet, and didn't have nearly as nice a texture as English muffins, which I adore. Thomas were making some lovely ones with cranberries before Christmas, and the special flavor currently is banana bread, also very nice.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:12:03 PM] <Shiral> Banana bread is one of the few forms in which I like bananas. The other is Bananes Flambe
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:12:06 PM] <Alkari> think of all the new foodstuffs they would have
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:12:32 PM] <KK> Mango and coconut bread?! Dunno about the coconut. Not fond of the stuff unless it's fresh out of the shell.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:13:02 PM] <Evie> Sour dough breads (there are several kinds) have a sour flavor to them, hence the name, and they're made as Alkari mentions above

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:13:34 PM] <Alkari> I love sourdough bread - more flavour. Rye soughdough = yum. But I am trying to give up bread, so do not buy any
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:14:05 PM] <Evie> I'm not fond of sour dough bread either. I prefer flavor from multigrain blends rather than from fermentation
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:14:09 PM] <Alkari> though I can occasionally weaken for olive bread
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:14:32 PM] <Shiral> I don't know why, but olives and I have never been friends
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:14:33 PM] <Alkari> I find the sough dough has more texture and body, and I love it with soup in winter
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:14:40 PM] <laurna> Makes the best grilled sandwiches.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:14:48 PM] <Alkari> mmmmm....
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:15:08 PM] <Jemler> i'm thinking blt.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:15:25 PM] <Alkari> which reminds me - I haven't had breakfast yet!! And it is 10.15am
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:15:31 PM] <Evie> The first time I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant, I didn't like the food since it is eaten with injera, which is a sourdough flatbread. The second time was at a different restaurant that didn't make as sour an injera dough, and I liked that better, but still ate my food with a fork rather than with the injera.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:16:18 PM] <Jemler> with a special before
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:16:25 PM] <KK> I actually like injera, and will eat Ethiopian food with it. (We have a friend who's an Ethiopian prince, who introduced us to the food.)
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:16:47 PM] <Jemler> ethipoian? not nigerian?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:16:51 PM] <Shiral> I watched an hilarious Spanish dubbed episode of Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Could not figure out what was going on for the life of me
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:16:52 PM] <DesertRose> I've never tried Ethiopian food.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:03 PM] <KK> More important, tonight is the season finale for Downton Abbey, and no one gets killed or dies.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:10 PM] <Alkari> me neither, but sounds interesting
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:13 PM] <Evie> Ethiopian, jemler. I don't think I've tried Nigerian before
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:26 PM] <Shiral> I don't know how I'll survive the wait until the next season
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:27 PM] <laurna> That is what i will be watching tonight
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:32 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ KK - is that a record for the series? Soundsm ore liek Game of Thrones!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:38 PM] <Jemler> i was thinking of the email scams evie
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:41 PM] <KK> Next season will wind it up, from what I hear.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:17:59 PM] <Shiral> But it looks like Tom will be going to America with Little Sybil
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:18:06 PM] <DesertRose> I'd like to try Ethiopian food someday, but there isn't an Ethiopian restaurant in my area and I don't know anyone who knows how to cook it.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:18:25 PM] <Evie> I haven't made it past Downtown Abbey 2 yet. I own Season 3, but I know one of my favorite characters dies in it, and I want to remain in denial.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:18:34 PM] <KK> I hope he stays, to work on the estate with Lady Mary.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:18:37 PM] <Shiral> I'm glad there will be at least one more season
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:18:41 PM] <Jemler> i'll stick to GOT.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:07 PM] <Shiral> Wondering how the Crawleys will weather the Depression, if they take the story line all the way up to 1929
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:08 PM] <KK> I think GOT is back next month or the one after, yes?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:19 PM] <Alkari> Yes - season 5 starts in April KK

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:40 PM] <Jemler> i don't have hbo. i buy the dvds after. i just got season 4.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:42 PM] <revanne> watched the first two seasons but the characters started to annoy me too much
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:57 PM] <DesertRose> I haven't tried watching Game of Thrones yet.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:19:59 PM] <drakensis> I read the first book and didn't like it much.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:00 PM] <Alkari> Andbecause of the rate at which it was pirated out here, they now show it almost simultaneously with the USA
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:05 PM] <drakensis> didn't bother with the series
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:07 PM] <Jemler> i read all 5.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:10 PM] <DF64> 12i watch GOT from netflix when it comes
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:18 PM] <DesertRose> I don't even own a TV, never mind have HBO. I might look for it on Netflix.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:18 PM] <KK> Oh, but the whole thing is worthwhile for Lady Violet. She gets most of the good lines!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:19 PM] <Shiral> I don't get HBO, so Game of Thrones is not part of my TV watching life
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:25 PM] <Alkari> we used to have to wait two weeks. Now they show it an hour after it airs on West Coast USA
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:30 PM] <Jemler> i'm reading the wheel of time now.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:43 PM] <Alkari> I gave up on that jemler
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:44 PM] <Evie> I read the first half of book 1 but couldn't get that much into it, and couldn't get past Episode 1 of the miniseries
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:20:47 PM] <DesertRose> Dame Maggie Smith is awesome.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:11 PM] <Shiral> She is. Wondering if Isobel will go ahead and marry Lord Merton and end up with horrible stepsons?
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:16 PM] <Alkari> I am reading Canadian detective stories
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:20 PM] <KK> Yes, she is. I'm looking forward to The Second Best Marigold Hotel. The first one was wonderful!
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:35 PM] <DF64> 12so sad about Leonard Niimoy
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:37 PM] <Alkari> Oh yes - that's just opened here KK, so it is a Must See
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:47 PM] <DesertRose> I wanted to see one called Ladies in Lavender, with her and Dame Judi Dench playing sisters.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:48 PM] <Evie> Yes, DF
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:48 PM] <KK> It's just opened here, too.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:21:57 PM] <DesertRose> It's kind of hard to find, though.

[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:27:53 PM] <Shiral> Yes. He spoke on behalf of cats. Being a cat in the Middle Ages in Europe was a hazardous thing since people believed they were the familiars of witches
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:28:18 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, and because they killed off so many cats, they wound up with a major rodent problem.
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:28:27 PM] <Alkari> especially if you were a black cat
[Sunday, March 01, 2015] [06:28:33 PM] <revanne> Mind you if I'd have known how many people don't know it's Frances for a girl and Francis for a boy I might have gone for Francesca. She's an ecologist though so Frances seems pretty appropriate. Not to mention having a Pope called after her
