Shinobi – I cried like an inconsolable fool over that hedgehog video. In point of fact I had to go grab my cat just to make sure he hadn’t died since the last time I’d seen him and furthermore wasn’t planning to any time soon. Then I cried some more, making him no end of soggy. I hate sad goodbyes.

Well, because you asked, and in the spirit of your previous post, here’s my humorous take on “Diet Advice”:

I feel like such a hussy.

[...] night, I was a little bit surprised to see an incoming link to Tales of MU from Kate Harding’s blog… knowing that Kate Harding is a feminist writer who blogs [...]

Alexandra, well, lemme tell you that your story got me through two days home sick from work, during which I read the entire thing, and it’s not even my usual type of fare (not a big consumer of fantasy, though I can’t pretend I didn’t get a lot of the geekier jokes). Oh, AND I’m pretty sure I had a dream with some kind of magic college full of creatures in it (no BDSM, though… I seem to have gone off it). It’s pretty engrossing!

re: fillyjonk reading Tales of MU.

Ha! I’ve read this site off and on for a while (I love sending people the “Don’t You Realize Fat Is Unhealthy?” link, especially as one of my most most well-rounded friends has a diabetic husband who could fit through the eye of a needle) and was stunned and pleased to see a link to my story coming from it.

Small world.

Their stuff, plus the wiki stuff has helped me out tremendously when I’ve been super stuck.

And that is your KoL PSA for today.

Fillyjonk,

So… I think we should have dinner/manhattans sometime? and then… by the transitive property, I would have had dinner/manhattans with Jonathan Coulton too. (Oh, Plus you! X2 Bonus!)

Man, I spent the whole day lying around on the couch feeling miserable (and occasionally reading an online college fantasy story with BDSM lesbians in it -- don't judge me!). I shoulda checked in here -- it would have reminded me to spend the day lying around on the couch feeling miserable playing KoL! (I think I maxed out my disco bandit, but I've halfassedly started some other characters since. Actually... did I ascend? I might have ascended, which is a good reason to start playing again.) Announcement (mostly for shinobi): I had dinner/Manhattans with Jonathan Coulton last year. I know, it's pathetic name-dropping, but listen, I ain't got much.

Tink (and the others): Fucking THANKS for giving me another game addiction! I just started playing KoL and thank God I’m out of adventures for today, or I’d never stop! I’ve decided to be a PastaMancer (named MinaMacaroni). ;o)
