[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:14:50] <the_Bee> nighters, Annie
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:14:54] <Evie> Hi, KK!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:14:59] <derynifanatic64> 10hi KK
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:00] <the_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:06] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:08] <KK> Hi, all.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:11] <Shiral> 'Tis herself!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:14] <Shiral> Hi KK
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:18] <Evie> Annie JUST left but said to tell you hi if you arrived, KK.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:24] <Evie> You missed her by about half a second
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:15:51] <KK> Yeah, we were having tea and watching Parcour on TV, which I'd heard of but never seen before. Interesting.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:16:31] <the_Bee> I've never heard of it. Whaat's it about?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:16:33] <KK> It's basically gymnastics, and skateboarding without the skateboard.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:16:44] <KK> Then do it on rooftops.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:16:55] <Evie> I just got a new Android phone, and between Audible audiobooks and Kindle, I've got about half of your Deryni books on my phone now. :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:16:55] <the_Bee> ah. for athletic types.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:16:56] <Shiral> Sounds potentially painful
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:17] <DesertRose> Young people trying to break their necks, sounds like.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:18] <Shiral> The Parcour, not the phone. =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:19] <DesertRose> :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:27] <KK> A lot of it looks like what stunt guys do in chase scenes, when they're leaping from rooftop to rooftop.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:29] <Evie> LOL, Shiral!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:31] <KK> Very athletic.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:41] <Shiral> I could handle the phoen
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:17:43] <Shiral> Phone
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:07] <Evie> I'm just waiting for my 3rd ed. e-Codex now. ;-)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:09] <Shiral> Sounds like Alaric Morgan's style of getting around town, though
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:12] <KK> So far, I just want a phone that acts like a phone.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:22] <Evie> having that in a portable format would so rock!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:28] <KK> That will be later this summer, Evie.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:34] <Evie> Squee!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:42] <derynifanatic64> 10good things come to those who wait
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:43] <Shiral> But KK, I felt SURE you must have a shiral crystal in your phone!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:18:58] <KK> Not that I've found.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:13] <Evie> If the Codex comes in any format I can read in an e-book reader, I'll be overjoyed.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:14] <Shiral> Not even for summoning the Council? =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:16] <Evie> Same with the RPG
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:34] <Evie> I'm sure there's got to be a shiral crystal app, darn it!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:48] <KK> That's what powers Deryni phones.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:52] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:52] <Evie> there's a Magic 8 ball, you'd think someone could make a shiral crystal. :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:19:55] <the_Bee> I'm with KK. I just want my phone to make phone calls.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:20:25] <DesertRose> I use the alarm clock, calendar, and texting functions on my phone, in addition to making phone calls.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:20:29] <Shiral> I've never really seen the point of camera phones, myself
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:20:34] <Evie> Oh, I want that too, Bee, which is why I got a Droid phone instead of just a tablet PC or book reader. It's just that i'd rather have only one device to lug around rather than 3 or 4
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:20:45] <KK> I already spend most of my waking hours at the computer. Why would I want my e-mail to follow me when I'm away?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:20:50] <Evie> for me, it saves having to carry a large purse.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:21:12] <KK> Cameras in phones are actually useful.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:21:28] <KK> Me too, DR.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:21:36] <Evie> if i have books, music, browser, phone, camera, and access to my bank balance in one device, it all goes in one pocket and i leave the purse at home
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:22:04] <DesertRose> I still carry a purse out of habit.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:22:55] <DesertRose> Plus, the camera in my phone is not that great.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:23:12] <Evie> I'm constitutionally incapable of carrying a small purse. Either I can carry a debit card, my driver's license, and my phone in one tiny phone/card holder that hooks to my belt, or I have to lug around a huge bag that hurts my shoulders
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:23:25] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:23:27] <KK> My first phpone here had a not so great camera. The new one (last summer) has a very good camera.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:23:46] <DesertRose> My actual camera takes better pics than my phone does.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:23:50] <jemler> Hi KK
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:23:51] Quit derynifanatic64 has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:24:04] <KK> Hi, Jemler.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:24:10] <DesertRose> derynifanatic64 is having computer problems, or else Mibbit is being stupid.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:24:24] <the_Bee> I've been buying cheap single-use cameras.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:24:49] <jemler> You mean you can only take 1 picture! that is cheap! :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:24:49] <Shiral> Me too, DR. I have to carry my wallet, after all
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:24:49] <Shiral> Sometimes I think I should just give up the car and get a donkey
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:25:03] <DesertRose> I spent $15 on my camera, used. It doesn't have a user's manual but it's not that hard to figure out how to use it.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:25:14] <KK> I still have a digital camera, but I don't always have it with me when I want to take a shot; but m phone is almost always in my pocket.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:25:39] <DesertRose> Yeah, that's when the camera phone comes in handy, when you don't have the actual camera camera on hand.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:25:42] <Evie> I have a really good digital camera I use if I want high quality photos
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:25:53] <Shiral> I have a nice camera and a phone I can't figure out how to get the pix OUT of
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:26:04] <Shiral> I use my digital camera most of the time
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:26:27] <Shiral> I often forget I have a phone until it chirps to tell me it's battery is low
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:26:29] <jemler> i have a polaroid. $45 from the maker. digital camcorder/camera. with the SD card i bought i can record 2.5 hrs of video
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:26:31] <KK> Do you have a card reader for our computer? If so, you can transfer the photos right into the computer. And if you don't have one, they're cheap.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:26:44] <the_Bee> I'd like to find an inexpensive camera with a telephoto lens feature.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:27:06] <jemler> the one i got from polaroid has zoom cap.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:27:27] <Evie> and if you don't, there are some that will plug into a USB port
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:27:28] <DesertRose> I have a snazzy little thing that came with my camera that reads an SD card and plugs into a USB port, but I don't actually use it because my computer has an SD card port.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:27:32] <KK> Most digital cmeras these days have a zoom feature, and they're getting quite inexpensive, if you watch for the sales.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:27:37] <Evie> so you put the camera's card in that and plug it in
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:27:59] Join derynifanatic64 has joined this channel (Mibbit@F8E647.70AEDE.3DD7B7.98DAB5).
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:05] <jemler> wb df64
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:06] <KK> It's about the size of a thumb drive, and plugs in the same way.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:06] <DesertRose> Rehi derynifanatic64
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:07] <Shiral> I don't have many pics on my camera even worth switching over
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:08] <Evie> some cameras will also upload straight to Flickr or some other photo album website
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:08] <the_Bee> WB, DF
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:19] <derynifanatic64> computer acting up :s
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:28] <DesertRose> That's no fun.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:40] <derynifanatic64> that's twice
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:41] <DesertRose> I didn't know if it was your computer or Mibbit.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:42] <Shiral> So how is young Alaric growing up, KK?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:44] <jemler> what system you running, df?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:28:56] <jemler> Shiral, tall and blond
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:07] <Evie> I'm glad I got home and got the notebook computer plugged in in time for chat. I'd downloaded a chat program onto the phone just in case, and it works fine, but I hate chatting with my thumbs. :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:13] <KK> I'm still in Meara with his father, who is not long for this world, alas.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:18] <DesertRose> :(
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:28] <Evie> wah!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:40] <derynifanatic64> windows 98--but I've never had this happen before--probably Bright House is having some trouble
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:46] <Shiral> Jemler, I already guessed that. =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:50] <KK> On the verge of doing in Morian.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:53] <Evie> I need to create a "Evie weeps copious tears for KK's victim of the week" macro for chat. ;-)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:59] <jemler> shiral :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:29:59] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:00] * the_Bee prepares to hum a threnody for Kenneth Morgan.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:01] <Shiral> Poor Kenneth is having a long, slow death!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:12] <DesertRose> Poor Kenneth indeed.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:15] <KK> He hasn';t started dying yet.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:19] <DesertRose> And poor Morian.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:37] * Evie plays a funeral dirge for KK's 'Victim of the Week'
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:38] <KK> Morian's death will be quick, if a bit bizarre.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:42] <Evie> YES! It worked!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:52] <Shiral> No, but he's been a dead man walking for a couple of months. Kenneth that is, not Morian
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:30:57] <the_Bee> YAY! What worked?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:31:09] <Evie> I type "/dirge" and that sentence appears
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:31:16] <jemler> Morian doesn't get killed by Lewys ap Norfal does he?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:31:37] <DesertRose> I thought Morian was Lewys's son?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:31:45] <the_Bee> Isn't Lewys already dead?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:31:46] * Evie mourns for Morian already
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:32:06] <KK> Lewys is long dead, off camera.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:32:08] <jemler> she said 'bizarre'
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:32:39] <DesertRose> Yeah, but being killed by one's dead father is probably *TOO* bizarre.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:00] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:12] <Shiral> Mmmmaybe
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:16] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:17] <jemler> well that term fits me too :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:20] <Evie> "Pop! What are you doing here...gaack!"
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:27] <DesertRose> You are indeed too bizarre, jemler.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:30] <the_Bee> Maybe KK meant "bazarre": Morian gets trampled to death by a crowd at a street fair.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:47] <DesertRose> Bizarre at the bazaar.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:33:58] <Shiral> The Bizarre Bazaar
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:34:14] <derynifanatic64> The Bazaa~kkurtz@OWIRCN-b7b1e86b.va.comcast.net~kkurtz@OWIRCN-b7b1e86b.va.comcast.net~kkurtz@OWIRCN-b7b1e86b.va.comcast.net~kkurtz@OWIRCN-b7b1e86b.va.comcast.netr of the Bizarre
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:34:39] <jemler> here we go
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:34:52] <jemler> it's getting Bizy at the Bazaar
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:34:55] <derynifanatic64> again on my own
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:34:55] <Shiral> But it might be worth checking out that bazaar for magical implements
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:35:13] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:35:21] <the_Bee> or a bunch of Deryni Fudge players.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:35:41] <Shiral> Just in case somebody's selling Wards under the table
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:36:39] <Shiral> I thought Deryni Fudge would be sold at the sweet stand at the faire. =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:37:16] <derynifanatic64> surrounded by magical wards
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:38:14] <Evie> brb...need to find some paper for DS
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:38:17] <Shiral> So you'd feel kinda tingly once you managed to get to the booth!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:38:33] <Evie> no new news on the movie I take it?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:39:06] <derynifanatic64> and no chance to steal any goodies
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:40:22] <Shiral> I'd guess you wouldn't have the wards set in lethal mode at the fair. It would lead to uncomfortable questions. =o) And if you really don't want to sell your goods, you always have the option of staying home!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:40:54] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:40:59] <KK> Ah. Original director who was considering the project has bowed out, since Red Riding Hood has taken a bath at the box office, and will do an indemendent project next, rather than Deryni. So it
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:00] <derynifanatic64> :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:14] <KK> s back to the drawing boards, on looking for a director.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:16] <Evie> dead customers tend to make for poor sales
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:21] <Evie> uh oh
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:25] <Shiral> Darn it
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:45] <the_Bee> :(
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:52] <derynifanatic64> :s
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:41:59] <KK> We're still in the game; just not with that director.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:42:04] <Shiral> But Deryni are WAY cooler than Red Riding Hood! :/
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:42:12] <Shiral> "
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:42:13] <the_Bee> which means a longer delay?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:42:21] <Shiral> "Wencit, what big teeth you have!"
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:42:41] <Evie> besides which, Duncan would look stupid walking through the forest with a basket of cookies under his red cape
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:42:57] <KK> Yes, longer delay.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:43:06] <Shiral> Rats and bats
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:43:08] <derynifanatic64> with Denis as the big bad wolf
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:43:21] <Evie> Denis isn't bad, he's just misunderstood! :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:43:35] <Shiral> Now now, Denis is just a little... uptight
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:43:59] <Evie> you'd be a bit uptight too if some darkling upstart stole all your thunder. ;-)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:44:00] <Shiral> Wouldn't it be Kelson going through the woods in his red cape?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:44:20] <jemler> Araxie!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:44:38] * Evie envisions Kelson in a red cape and a pinafore and chortles
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:44:44] <KK> Excuse me? Denis isn't bad at all. He's a man with a hell of an assignment under difficult circumstances,a nd does the best he can.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:44:44] <Shiral> She's STILL Cooler than Red Ridinghood
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:45:10] <jemler> I hope there are booka after KKB. I want to know about the Double-Haldane/Deryni match!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:45:41] * Evie has a soft spot for Denis Arilan. It's between my ears.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:45:55] <Shiral> We suspected as much, Evie
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:45:57] <Shiral> =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:46:07] <jemler> i could get x rated, but ...
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:46:11] <derynifanatic64> just having fun with Denis
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:46:28] <Shiral> Wencit would have to be the big bad wolf
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:46:44] <Shiral> Torenthi woods could get pretty dark
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:47:01] <Evie> No, jemler. Like my first love, he's sworn to celibacy too. My heart seems to have a homing beacon for KK's men in cassocks, unfortunately.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:47:26] <Shiral> Still disappointing. I had heard that the Red Riding Hood movie borrows rather heavily from the Twilight series in mood
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:47:26] <the_Bee> the lure of the unattainable
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:48:16] * Evie holds up a cross and wears garlic in hopes of chasing off Twilight vampires. :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:48:17] <Shiral> Well, the Deryni men are all a bit hard to get in our universe. I try to at least lust after those who are unencumbered by Holy vows
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:48:55] <KK> Same director, I do believe. And I think the Twilight series is starting to wear a bit thin.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:48:59] <KK> I hope.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:49:06] * Shiral just can't stomach sparkly vampires
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:49:38] <Evie> My DH went to a Halloween party with a string of battery powered LED lights wrapped around dark clothes. He was a Twilight Vampire Parody
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:49:39] <derynifanatic64> what about those from vampire diaries
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:49:52] <jemler> I'll take
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:50:03] <Shiral> I'm a bit tired of Vampires period, I'm afraid
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:50:03] <jemler> Elena off your hands
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:50:24] <jemler> don't know how i hit enter there
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:50:43] <Shiral> But the Deryni universe is thankfully devoid of sparkling vampires
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:50:57] <the_Bee> Lots of us don't know how we did things, Jemler.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:50:59] <Evie> Do you serve those with a sparkling wine?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:51:26] <Shiral> Why waste good bubbly, Evie? =o)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:51:41] <derynifanatic64> what about sparkling diamonds
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:51:45] <the_Bee> How about Klingon blood wine?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:51:46] <Evie> to celebrate ridding the world of one more sparkly vampire
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:53:21] <Evie> Luke sees chat is in progress and has leaped into my arms to watch
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:53:37] <derynifanatic64> smart luke
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:53:38] <DesertRose> fur ball.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:53:43] <Shiral> I'm sure I'd be mobbed by Pygmy lions.... if I weren't at work
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:53:53] <the_Bee> Maybe he'll pounce on a sparkly vampire.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:54:08] <Evie> I hope not. He might throw up a line of sparkles on the carpet
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:54:13] <DesertRose> Only if the sparkly vampire is covered in tomato leaves.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:54:27] <Shiral> Evie, LOL about your husband's halloween costume. :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:54:38] <jemler> maybe the sparkly vampire will turn into a sparkly bat, and Luke with think it's a nice juicy mouse! :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:55:05] <KK> I agree, Evie. Very good.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:56:15] <Shiral> Poor Francesca is getting chased around a lot by Dmitri. I pick her up and whisper "He'll grow out of it!" in her ears
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:56:38] <Shiral> She just gives me a long suffering look of "how could you?"
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:57:58] <Shiral> Ah, oops. Have to go, all
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:08] <the_Bee> bye shiral
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:08] <DesertRose> Okay, nighters Shiral.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:14] <jemler> nite shiral
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:24] <Evie> goodnight
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:35] * Shiral steps up on my transfer portal, waves farewell and disappears in a blinding cloud of cat fur
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:39] <KK> Bye, Shiral.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:40] <DesertRose> LOl
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:41] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:47] <Shiral> I don't think this think is functioning quite right!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:52] <Shiral> Nighters, all
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:58:54] <Shiral> BYE
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:59:00] <derynifanatic64> night
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:59:01] Quit Shiral has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [19:59:19] <DesertRose> So KK, how are your furry ones, since we've been on the topic of pets?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:00:56] <KK> They're all fine. Warner has fit in like he was always here--though still is incluned to chase the cats, except for Algernon, who backed him into a corner early-on and whapped the bejezus out of him. Warner now avoids all three of the orange cats, to the extent of going up the back stair if the cat is on the front stair, and vise-versa.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:01:20] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:01:30] <derynifanatic64> :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:01:34] <jemler> Algernon seems like a tough kitty!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:01:39] <KK> He's really a sweet, gentle dog, though.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:01:50] <KK> Oh, yes. When he growls, the dogs back off.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:02:06] <KK> He takes shit from no dog.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:02:10] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:02:20] <jemler> the cat version of: "You want a piece of me?"
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:02:24] <Evie> :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:02:54] <DesertRose> My aunt is a veterinarian, and she said in a cat vs dog fight, she'd put her money on the cat, every time, unless the cat was declawed or caught asleep.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:03:04] <jemler> CAt is saying "I got nine lives. how many of me do you want to take on?"
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:03:33] <KK> It isn't even that, Jemler. It's, Back off, dog-breath!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:03:42] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:05:12] <KK> If it's one on one, I agree, DR. If two dogs get a cat backed into a corner, though I'd worry about the cat. That's what we <don't> want to happen here, so we've rescued Warner several times. I think he's gotten the message. He really just wants to play, though, and doesn't understand cat-play.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:05:26] <DesertRose> Yeah, I've met dogs like that.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:05:52] <DesertRose> My ex-boyfriend's dog thought that anything furry on the planet was meant to be a playmate for him.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:06:23] <DesertRose> He (the dog) also didn't have any comprehension whatsoever that he was much larger than a cat.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:06:30] <the_Bee> we had a dog and a kitten once. The kitten used to suckle on the dog's nipples, even thou the dog wa spayed.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:06:33] <KK> We think Warner is much more of a puppy than we first were led to believe; maybe only about 16-18 mo. old. He's still got a lot to learn. Sweet dog, though, and seems to be quite smart.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:06:34] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:06:49] <DesertRose> Is Warner a rescue?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:06:57] <KK> Yes.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:07:01] * DesertRose is braindead and doesn't remember.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:07:19] <KK> We've now had him just on two months.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:07:26] <the_Bee> You don't remember being braindead?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:07:33] <DesertRose> I don't remember the dog. :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:08:04] <DesertRose> BRB
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:09:00] <KK> Basset, white with brown spots and freckles; very cute.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:09:32] <jemler> A dog with freckles?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:10:18] <jemler> if you connect the dots, does he turn into a german shepherd? :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:10:47] <derynifanatic64> dalmatian
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:11:07] <KK> Nope. He weights about 38-39 lbs. now; was a bag of bones when we first got him, but is looking pretty healthy now.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:11:09] <jemler> he's got 101 freckles?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:11:51] <KK> Freckles on his face and one ear, really cute.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:11:58] <the_Bee> How does Oswald get along with the new kid?
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:12:09] <KK> Coloring sort of like an English springer spaniel.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:12:38] <DesertRose> Aw, sounds cute.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:12:51] <KK> Oswald is glad to have the heat taken off him, since Booker and the new kid now romp and wrestle and body-slam, and Oswald can be referee.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:12:53] <DesertRose> It'd be cool if you could post a pic of him to the fur kids section on RhemuthCastle.com.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:13:10] <KK> I'll see if I can figure out how to do that.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:13:20] <the_Bee> of all your furkids
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:13:23] <DesertRose> Or send a pic to Bynw or me and we'll do it. :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:13:35] <KK> That, I can do.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:13:57] <Evie> though it's easy to figure out, really
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:14:45] <DesertRose> Yeah, email me the pics you want posted and I'll do it when you send them to me. desertrose at deryni dot net.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:15:41] <Evie> Oof! Luke seems to get heavier each time he pounces on my stomach
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:06] <DesertRose> LOL, poor Evie's tummy. :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:26] Join Alkari has joined this channel (Mibbit@8EC4D7.96B13C.7A309D.B4BE87).
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:28] <KK> Will do, DR.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:36] <derynifanatic64> wb
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:39] <jemler> hi alkari
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:42] <the_Bee> g'day, Alkari
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:48] <Alkari> Hi all.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:51] <Evie> Darn, I forgot to ask Shiral if there's any news on 2nd Ed. Deryni Magic. KK, would you happen to know? I keep running across "phantom" book listings in bookstore online catalogs
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:16:58] <Alkari> Hi KK :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:17:09] * Evie says hello and offers you a goblet of Fianna wine
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:17:57] <DesertRose> WB Alkari,
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:18:00] <DesertRose> .
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:18:03] <KK> Nothing has gone across my desk on that, Evie, so I don't know.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:18:13] * Evie pouts
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:18:20] <derynifanatic64> :(
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:18:48] * Alkari will be very happy with Childe Morgan Vol 3 :D
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:18:54] <Evie> I'm going to have to break down and buy a third copy of DM edition 1, aren't I? I don't know why they keep disappearing. It's like...um...magic.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:19:22] <Evie> I think they construct TPs in the middle of the night and Portal off the bookshelf
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:19:32] <Alkari> It's a cunning Teymuraz plot, EVie
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:19:43] <KK> Magic, indeed. But I fear it's time I step onto my Portal and disappear to the kitchen, so I can feed my guys.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:19:46] <derynifanatic64> oh oh, it's magic, you know
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:19:59] <DesertRose> Okay, KK, thanks for coming and hanging out with us.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:04] <DesertRose> Always good to see you! :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:05] <derynifanatic64> goodnight KK
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:05] <Evie> there's got to be a cook dinner spell
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:07] <KK> See you next week, probably.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:12] <Evie> good night!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:13] <jemler> nite kk
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:15] <KK> I wish there <were>.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:17] * Evie waves goodbye

[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:20] <Alkari> Good night - see you next week I hope.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:35] <DesertRose> I don't mind cooking. What I want is a "wash dishes and put them away" spell. :)
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:39] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in a shower of green sparkles.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:42] <Evie> Me too!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:44] <DesertRose> Night, KK.

[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:20:50] <KK> Nighters, all.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:21:06] <KK> Hogwarts had a lot of good things going for it.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:21:08] <Alkari> Yes, a Deryni housekeeping spell book!!
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:21:11] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:21:18] <KK> Hmmm. Night, all.
[Sunday 03 April 2011] [20:21:18] <derynifanatic64> :D

"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.)
