edonil Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Having trouble sleeping? ---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ---------- A witty bit of writing from the brilliant John Cleese: Ha! ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2013 EUROPE From JOHN CLEESE The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada. The Scots have raised their threat level from "****ed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years. The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides." The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose." Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .. The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy. Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level. Regards, John Cleese , British writer, actor and tall person And as a final thought - Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 430 BC.

Mako Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sounds like fun. Much to do? I'm so tired I can't even be bothered to get the camera out. Probably going to crash early tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Eh, there's enough to do. Better yet, there's some downtime with it, so I can do some painting. I really want to finish that Death Marshal tonight...well, minus the skull. Still waiting on the weathering powder for that, and it hasn't shipped yet. ---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ---------- If you're that tired, sleep might be a good idea...

bowchikawowers Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I've woken up at 230 am every night this week. And tossed and turned a good bit more of the night too. Probably need to get more exercise during the day. ... ...and a fan. My room is an oven in disguise. ---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ---------- Also, Ed, thst John Cleese thing is hilaaaarious! Mako, go to bed. Sleep is good.

Mako Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 That's good. The downtime thing, not the weathering powder. That's less exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 The fan might be the better one to go with... ---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ---------- Eh, I can wait for it. I'll be working on the Judge in the meantime. Still need to figure out a color for his bandana...think I might match it to the coffins. It's a different kind of brown to his hat, boots and gloves that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I like my fan. It pushes the 80-90% humidity air past me so I can pretend to sleep. :1_Exhausted_Puppet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's probably a mix of both. Usually heat doesnt bother me... I'm uncomfortable until I fall asleep but I sleep great in warm weather. The exercise is probably the bigger issue. Doctor says I'm not allowed to run because of this stupid stress fracture, and I can't dance, can't do any of the fun stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sounds like a mix of both, then, Bow. I hope it works well too! I have to say, I'll be sad that Lady J and her crew won't have quite the pop of color that others have...need to figure out how to fix that without screwing up the overall look. ---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ---------- And...I'm going to have to get this cd.

bowchikawowers Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) I have the hottest room in summer and the coldest in winter because of an un-insulated room attached that pours heat/cold in. Also a window that won't latch properly. Edited August 29, 2013 by bowchikawowers I really hate auto correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I slept until 11am this morning, and I've only been up for 13 hours. I started trying to learn how to paint digital portraits. I feel as if this would be sliiiiiiiiightly easier if I had a tablet. Not that I think it would be easy. I got a pair of eyes done, and some lips. They look kind of scribbly and weird, but the way I figure its my first attempt, so ya gotta start somewhere. Oh bow if you are around, you could critique that! Since its something I'm actually trying to improve... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I'm bored, lol. And sadly being tempted to join a 2nd round of a Fantasy campaign, if it kicks off... Hey Victoria, how are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
