Good Morning Everyone!
 
Let's make Tex proud and do coffee the right way!
 
Breakfast and coffee for all :)
 
 
Almost finished with my last staircase, just need to finish the railings. Thanks Arachnaas for your critical eye on helping me move it into position and on what to use for the railings :)
 
Cyco - sorry for leaving you in the middle of our discussion. We lost power last night for about a half hour. When it came back up, I was getting ready for bed so didn't log back in. Please let me know if I answered your questions or if you have more. I am more than happy to answer any questions people may have.

Good Morning/Afternoon,
 
/OT  - Returning player here! 
Love these threads and certainly missed them. So nice to see such a strong community here. /OT
 
I so want to be in Blazing saddles, but you guys are NA? If any awesome like minded Guilds are on EU PvE could give me a shout I would like to here from you :P
 
ZuberiGF, I hope you can get your RP lines back on track buddy! I love RP, but just kinda keep it quite low key as to myself....predenting in my head. Never really been part of any MMO RP movement. 
 
Hope you all have a nice day!

Ack, I can talk again! 
Glad to be of some help Cirinde. The consensus here was that I was walking a fine line of helping, or just looming. 
 
Seriously, those of you that haven't seen the plot she is working on need to get your cupcakes over there.

Mmmmm, coffeeee.
 
Yesterday was odd.  Snow is not uncommon here yet there are enough people out there that just don't get it that I take my life in my hands if I dare to go to work when the stuff falls.  The paying gig is something that I can do remotely if necessary.  The double-edged sword is that even if they close the office they insist you work from home or take a vacation day.  While I'm not sure that's legal I'm not annoyed enough to seriously research it.  So yeah, I was working from home.
 
IG, thanks to finally getting the [Exile Warship] (it's warship, not gunship) I blew up my house and ripped out a couple plugs and added the hatch house.  I saved the pillow pile and the stereo but most everything else got crated.  I started on the planned carrier design but it's getting freakin' huge and I've only got a launch and recovery bay done.  May need to rethink this.
 
I was so wrapped up in that project that I got a real late start on doing content.  Managed to get 2 PvP matches in which gave me enough prestige to buy my Ability Tier unlock.  I'm now sitting at 47... one more to go.  I also need 6 more AMP point unlocks.  My next 6k prestige will be going towards the two you can buy there.  Guess I'm getting a little better at it, I'm managing to stay alive longer and getting some kills here and there.  Might try to jump into the Friday night warplot party.
 
Tonight is food shopping and dinner prep.  Tonight's menu needs a temporary modification so it'll be something simple which will ease some of the schedule stress.  Still need to do the taxi thing so I'll be looking to do short-commitment content.  (PvP and/or Shiphands)
 
There's an event this weekend that I kept hearing rumors about but managed to miss the announcement.  I really think this needs wider socialization so here yah go: The Nexus Best Dressed List hosts the first FASHION Gala red carpet social! (That's this Saturday evening).

I can't stay long, today has been Hell.
 
It took two and a half hours to get to work today, meaning I arrived at almost ten o'clock.  This had very little to do with me (once I was out of traffic, my Wrangler can handle snow like this at 50 miles an hour without issues) but it appears that people who live in Ohio forget annually how to drive in the snow.  Traffic was crawling between 5-10 mph when it moved at all.
 
Got into the office and got this exciting tidbit, I have to simultaneously move forward with things for the hospital project I'm working on, help a principle architect with some planning sheets for a new client, AND get ready to handle construction administration for one of our larger projects as it comes closer to finishing.  Let's just say that it's been an insane morning as the three architects fight for my attention.  Our office manager is out for the next few days, so this likely isn't going to be resolved soon.  It's why I've been off the forums today and will likely be off the rest of the day; I have to do the work of three designers while short two hours.
 
Last night's band practice was fun, though.  Looks like we'll get Mustang Sally into the rotation, and we'll see if our esteemed bassist can finally figure out the riffs for Lovesong (he won't let me teach him how; I suppose that you can't learn from a younger bassist at some point for your pride's sake).  I didn't get home until almost midnight, where I ran into Casim.  He was trying to get Lightspire done which, at midnight on a Tuesday, is hard to get a group together for.  The good news is that we had a group together that had risen to 15 people and were on track to barely squeeze by.  The bad news is that our group suddenly decided that, with 15 minutes to go on Phase 4, we weren't going to make it through the event.  Three of us remained, Cas, myself, and Sarge from Entity (shout out!), and we cleared Phase 4 in no time.  If the group had stayed, we probably would have had ten minutes to drill the Dreadwatcher.  I think we could have done it.  Overall, though, that was fun!  It's nice to be out and about in the world now and then, especially playing with my brother.  He has Friday and Saturdays off, so I'm thinking there will be a lot of content run on those days.
 
Shadowcaster work was relegated to sizing up the railgun to a more appropriate scale.  I think it's done, but I have to check tonight to make sure it's all properly aligned.  I about doubled it in size and, since it's essentially our one-size-fits-all slobberknocker, I thought it deserved a little more personal work.  I didn't have a chance to get that bluelight lounge table I need, but hopefully that will happen tonight and I'll call the abovedecks finished.
 
Then it's all about the bilge.
 
TL;DR for 0-50 coming up tonight.  After that, I'll see you on Nexus!

Hey now! That's how it's done!
 
Sorry, I didn't get to play this weekend or even the early part of the week. Shame I'm wasting my Trial time, but what can ya do!
 
Keep having fun, you crazy kids!

Back in temporarily.
 
On the one hand, it's good to feel wanted by so many project managers.  On the other hand, I want to know what I'm doing from day to day for a while.
 
I really, really can't wait to get into the game.  When you're getting deadline hockey played on your schedule, it does stress you out.  I'm hoping to get some more work done on the Shadowcaster done and try to level Parthenia and Herrick up a ways.  I'm hoping to, if we can't get Parthenia to 50 by this weekend, to get her close enough to walk into world content with us.  And I do still need to get that last table in the bar.
 
I know I have to do the TL;DR, but I really, really, really just want to play.  And worst of all, since I was late, I'm going to have to stay here later.
 
*sigh*  I just want to play.

So I know it's a little late...but I'm just getting around to my second cup of coffee.  I'm sitting here at almost 11pm working on a wiki for a writing model that I am presenting at a teaching conference over the weekend.  It really has me thinking about all the changes that I want to make on Nexus.  I big part of that is getting better at things that I am not all that good at.  I really want to make it a habit everyday to have a cup of coffee here, with you all.  My good friend Nephele has made it a point to do so, and some of the greatest things ever happen to us Daggers have come out of it.  So humbly, I'm approaching the table too.  I know it is a little late, but I still feel like we have a good few miles to go before we all sleep.  Maybe some of you are feeling that way too.  There is a little noodle shop that will be coming to a plot near you, and yeah, I plan on serving coffee.  I know that sounds strange, but once you realize that there is squirg to go in it...wait?  What's that?  Yeah, squirg for...wait...stop interrupting.  No.  It goes in both the coffee and the noodles; and yeah, it's really good.  Well just give it a try.  I'll bring you a bowl next time, and a cup too.
 
PS.  It is really great to see you again, Tex!
 
Also I am a big fan of John Donne.  You know, English teacher and all... :3  I wonder what Granok poetry is like?...
 
And hey Unit!  
 
(Chestnut is totally helping me figure out who you all are...cheating?  Yeah, but why not?  She is so awesome :3)

Good Morning EU! 
Good evening US! 
 
Thanks for the warm welcome Cirinde. As of last night (after a rather humorous vetting process!) I'm now a proud (Trial) member of http://nihilism.enjin.com! 
 
Keep up the awesome work community!
