The Two Towers, and other stuff today.

This was an utterly silly exchange on Puzzle Pirates the other night, totally out of nowhere, after I'd done pretty awful at battle nav:

[00:19:57] Janthina says, "hmm, that wasn't very good :)"
[00:19:58] Bikke says, "Wait, who is driving?"
[00:20:03] Janthina says, "Bear is driving."
[00:20:06] Lejerque has entered the puzzle.
[00:20:06] Lejerque says, "Jan is driving!"
[00:20:06] Bikke has entered the puzzle.
[00:20:09] Bikke says, "OH NO! Janthina is driving. How can this BE?"
[00:20:11] Lejerque says, "Oh my god! How can this be!"
[00:20:13] Janthina laughs out loud!
[00:20:16] Janthina says, "Bikke, I love you."
[00:20:19] Janthina says, "And Lejerque too."
[00:20:36] Janthina says, "And everyone, because our teams are perfect."
[00:20:39] Lejerque says, "Ship full of MIDGETS!!"

Yeah, so anyway. Today I went over to the House of Slack, where we had most of our normal slackers (Megan, Josh, Cory, Heidi, Mike, Justin, me, Eli) and we watched the Extended Dance Remix of The Two Towers. There wasn't quite so much extra in this one as there was in Fellowship, it seemed... or maybe it's been too long since I saw the movie? I did like a few of the extra scenes, especially the extra footage they gave Faramir. I couldn't get [profile] gootmu's condensed script out of my head though.

The 4 hour movie took us around 5 hours to watch with all the bathroom breaks and whatnot, and then we all had dinner. Megan made super goulash. Justin, Cory, Josh, and Eli played the LOTR Movie Collector's Edition Trivial Pursuit game. I read questions instead of playing because I hate Trivial Pursuit. Josh and Cory won, IIRC. Many of the questions were really silly hard or really silly easy.

Came home and played Puzzle Pirates since I hadn't played all weekend. Finally ran into [personal profile] laurel on a ship. I really suck at everything but carpentry lately, which is getting kinda frustrating (especially things like having to spend 4-5 leagues getting incredibles in gunning on the training ship to get my Ultimate back. I don't know why I bother). But people are fun to talk to and stuff.

And now, sleep.

Was cool to run into you. I haven't played PP much in months and so was a little frustrated last night when sometimes my sailing and bilging weren't what they used to be. Had a better night swordfighting than the last time I tried, though (well, except for one battle where half my screen was full when I started and I was ganged up on). So I was pretty quiet 'cuz I was tired and concentrating on the puzzles!

Good to get back in the game, tho. And appreciated you speaking up re teams ('cuz someone oughta!).

'Cuz of you, I do tend to job more with folks affiliated with Looterati than anyone else. Jobbed with the Cult of the Red Mantis a couple days ago.
