This post is about puzzle pirates and choir and baseball

HAHAHAHAHA. Got this while jobbing for the awesome attesmythe tonight on one of the best short pillage runs ever (what was it, 1200 per person for a 30-minute run?) It was so good to finally run into him in-game!

Oh no! Combo Stopped! (14)

I'm Legendary in Carpentry now.

Beyond that, tonight was pretty good with choir rehearsal. We had our "Dress" rehearsal except nobody was dressed up and we didn't have the soloists, so it was basically going over the choruses with the orchestra. My throat was really sore afterwards... as were my feet. I'm not used to standing up for that long. I decided to stand in the front row with Ellen because hey, I'm cool like dat, and then I can hear other people singing behind me instead of hiding in the back. Things went pretty well, I guess. I hope I have enough energy to sing the whole damned thing on Friday and Saturday though.

Incase you've forgotten, you should totally come to our CONCERT! We're performing Handel's Messiah abridged (2.5 hours instead of 4), this Friday and Saturday night. It's free to attend, there's no tickets or anything, just come in and listen, but there will be a free-will "pass the hat around to collect money for the hungry" thing at intermission.

Also, the phone company seems to have come by and fixed our phone, since they left me a bill for it. But, I'm online, the phone's on the hook, and there hasn't been an outage yet tonight. WHEE!

While I'm at it, you know what else makes me happy?

WE RE-SIGNED SHIGETOSHI HASEGAWA!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Ok, so in theory I should be worried that they're giving up a whole bunch of the other free agents. I'm vaguely bothered that they're putting up John Mabry. I think he coulda done some good stuff for the team if they'd kept him. Willie Bloomquist is totally gonna be Mark McLemore's replacement, but eh... I'm wondering what our outfield situation will be next year. Oh well. Sleep now, ponder baseball later.

heh, i hadn't been keeping up with player movements between clubs... but giving up cammy eh? interesting move... there goes part of our insane outfield defense :P

[fuj.livejournal.com]

Yeah by Cammy, please say they got rid of the Street Fighter character, cause if it's who I think it is then.... D:

btw, interesting poll on Fox news last night. 76% of viewers that answered the poll of the night said the Mariners would have a losing season.

Go Seattle fans :O

the new manager sucks :(
I dont know about a losing seasnn though... well.. actually...

Clearly you should root for the Mets to get Cammy so that Oakland doesn't get him.

Holy $#|T, the other person on that ship is from my crew - Euron! Dude!
That's just freaky, you know?

[attesmythe.livejournal.com]

Euron was a good jobber for us. Very pleasant. I hope you like him, or I may steal him.

And Janthina. :p

That brigand is lucky I'm out of shot!

[mg4h.livejournal.com]

I don't think you're stealing Janthina anytime soon - trust me, I've tried ;)

I'm very happy we signed Euron on - he's a great guy, often knows what to do before I ask, and I don't have to stress about the job he's doing. Now, as for random jobbers... *sigh*

That screen shot taught me somethign about carpentry I didn't know. No one ever told me about the crap pile method.

Hmm. Being distracted by the 14, I didn't notice that upper left hole until you commented. That _is_ a pretty impressively bad job. :)

[oren.livejournal.com]

You know. That looks a bit cheap to me. I'm here repairing a ship and leaving little holes to sink the ship.

It's not the manager, I think Bob Melvin did a fine job last year.

It's the GM, Bill Bavasi... and while the Bavasi family is quite capable of building championship teams and proven so, it still is going to freak out Seattle people at first with the moves he makes.

They really need to get a few good guys in the bullpen though, especially a lefty, or we're SCREWED. No two ways about it.

[dr4b]

I don't usually do that.

I was going for a 15+ combo and almost made it...

Usually I just get a craftsmanship after like a 4-5 combo. No big deal. But there's a thread on the main PP forums about huge carp comboes, so...

BTW, incase it isn't obvious, I quit out of the puzzle before I finished that pig's breakfast of a sloppy job, so I still kept my Incredible rating for the league.

And yes, the 14 was the point :)

[dr4b]

You generally only use the crap pile method if you're going for long masterpiece comboes. If not, there's really no reason to do it as it will tank the rest of your rating and you won't have a crazy combo bringing it all back up.

[dvarin.livejournal.com]

Beh. I've only gotten up to 12. I did it without crap-piling though, so nyaaah. :)
