    Ogni giorno passo il tempo
    Bevo vino, sento meglio
    Resto qui e aspetto un segno
    Sperando possa vederlo
    Nei miei fogli non c'è più niente
    La carta piange, la penna mente
    Le parole che mi hai dato
    Le hai cancellate, ed ecco che

  3. Happiest of birthdays to you, my beloved wenchie-pooh. I hope you have a wonderful day, and enjoy your pressies to the fullest. I’m with you in spirit as always (freezing my butt off over here… figures home would be warmer when I finally leave it!)

    Hope to hear from you tomorrow. :hug: 

    Yours, always, Neko. 

  4. Happy birthday, to the great red dragon, our lovely BronxWench. I hope you have a lovely day, and that the snow isn’t too bad today.

    I’m trying my hardest to make that “snow return home” spell work, but you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to get Santa’s helpers to cry…:P

      I did say happy birthday on Facebook, but I don’t know if you frequent that place much, so I’ll say a belated happy birthday here!

      Thank you, Melrick! I’ve been avoiding the toxic wasteland that is Facebook these days, I confess. It’s hard enough reining myself in on Twitter…:blush:

  5. Happy New Year, everyone. May 2018 be your best year yet. 明けましておめでとうございます :happykitten:

    Rest in peace, love and rock & roll, Taylor Hawkins.

    Happy birthday, and may they be many more. :cheers:

      There are healthier alternatives and outlets to satisfy your inner masochism. 

      That said. Bronxwench said it best.

      I have all the faith in ya. No matter what.

      For you can turn tomorrow’s hope into a solid promise.

      Oh man, that can be me too often.  Not always, but it’s bloody annoying when it happens, more so because I know I’m procrastinating at the time!

      My dentist said it was okay to procrastinate, so I’m taking that as a prescription!  (Well, it was regarding whether I needed a crown sooner vs later….)

      That is insaaane! I’m so glad I stopped uploading my stuff there. So since Deviantart is a dirty little thief, anyone know of a good place to post art?

  10. The thingy told me it’s your birthday. So, 

    Happy birthday, dear DG. I hope it’ll be a wonderful day. :happykitten::bday:

      I was recovering my other gmail account, and had hundreds of spam crap addressed to Charlie or Charles Cox… :D   And everything that had a country domain thingy at the end, ended with the Australian domain name. At least I think . au is Australia…  

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Yep, it’s Australia :D

       

    4. WillowDarkling

      I just hope that the spam will stop… or at least lessen, now that I’ve flagged everything, and reported spam and phishing and all that crap… but man, Charlie Cox was busy :D

    An Irish Possum?

      If it were Irish, there would be an apostrophe.

      No, an OPossum is any possum that starts a new thread on HotPossumGoss.com.

  13. Here you go, SK... I want to point out jus how gorgeous the bass player and the blonde guitarist are in this vid... they are simply lickable

    Enjoy

  14. Hey, you. Thanks for the review on Polinues, and I'm sorry I keep breaking your heart...

    Please stop by the shoutbox someday and say hi to the troops.

    Thank you again for being the awesomest reader in the world. And I'm editing the story, to make it easier to read :)

  15. Hey. I just got your msg in the reviews. I know I've been terrible, but the boys took a small vacation. RL has been a little shitty lately, and I've lost some of my passion... and been distracted by other things :)

    But I will update soon. I promise you. By the end of this week, you will have an update. *hugs for being the best reader ever.*

  16. Hrmph.. I need to teach you to appreciate my pretty J-rock boys....

    I can let you pet them on occasion.. :D

  17. The Naming of Cats

    T. S. Eliot
    1888 – 
    1965

    The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
         It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
    You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
    When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
    First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
         Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
    Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—
         All of them sensible everyday names.
    There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
         Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
    Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—
         But all of them sensible everyday names,
    But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
         A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
    Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
         Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
    Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
         Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
    Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—
         Names that never belong to more than one cat.
    But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
         And that is the name that you never will guess;
    The name that no human research can discover—
         But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
    When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
         The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
    His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
         Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
              His ineffable effable
              Effanineffable
    Deep and inscrutable singular name.

      Usually, I take myself off to bed, and just sleep and sleep until I don’t feel sick anymore. Even if I have to sleep the clock round. I make myself unconscious. But then, I do have a phobia of actually being sick… try it, though, if you can. It definitely works! :)

      And everyone is entitled to be wobbly, weak and weepy when they’re poorly :wub:

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      I’m like Pip. I’d rather take to my bed and ask to be left well enough alone until I’m human again. Usually, after a good 24 hours or so in bed, I’m feeling better, or at least well enough to get back to it. (Now if we could explain that to my family, I’d be grateful.)

    4. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      Oh, I do prefer to lie in bed too, and try to sleep as much as possible, when sick. But I can’t… I get restless, and then I start to ache because I’ve been lying down for too long. My body just hates me… It just does not like me to have nice things :P

      I actually thought it was a boy who lived next door, and that he just had a girlfriend, but it looks like it’s the girl who lives there :D But man, she’s so not the type that I’d have thought was a rap-fan. Guess that just goes to show you, that you can't really guess what kind of music folks like depending on the way they look :D

      Are you sure that’s not how our Irish ancestors got revenge on our Viking ancestors? Like… “Oooh, you want me to be your slave girl? Hang on, let me make you some dinner….” :devil:  :D 

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      LMAO! They need to be careful around those Irish girls, don’t they? ::cackles happily::

    4. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      Hey, we’ve got an old story up here about an Irish princess who got kidnapped and married to one of our viking lords, and she pretended to be mute for going on 20 years, just to spite the fucker :D Even went as far as teaching their son her own language and stories in secret, while the rest of the household thought she was mute. So, obviously those Irish girls can hold a grudge for a while :D 

  22. 『ああ、ごめん、ごめん、探したよ』 My heart melts every time I hear that line… ::sighs dreamily::

      JayDee

      Google translate tells me “"Oh, sorry, sorry, I looked for you" which sounds like what I hear whenever someone accidentally matches me on tinder.

      Is it a song lyric?

    2. WillowDarkling

      WillowDarkling

      The meaning is more along the lines of “I was looking for you” or “there you are” (the having been looked for implied)

      It’s the first line that Howl says in the movie “Howl’s Moving Castle”. It’s my favourite Studio Ghibli movie. :D 

    3. JayDee

      JayDee

      Ahh! I haven’t seen that one yet, but I keep meaning too.

    Yeah… so, the parental units and baby sis with her fam are all living in the town next to these, and the threat of an eruption is growing larger, so I’d greatly appreciate all and any vibes of the good and safety kind to be sent their way if you can spare them, and if you have any gods or goddesses that you are on friendly terms with I’d also appreciate any pokes you’d be willing to give them on my family’’s behalf. This shit is getting scary now that the threat of an eruption is so close to town. Thank you, all.

      Thanks so much guys. The latest updates are that my family got to go into town (along with some 2000 other folks) to get essentials from their houses, so both sis and her fam, and our parents have their essentials, and other valuables that they could gather in time (and my nephew’s hamster), and both reported that there’s no damage to either house. There are some cracks on the outside of my parents’ house, but they don’t seem to be more than surface damage, at least from what my parents could see. 

      As for the town itself, there’s a crack that’s going through the entire town, and the entire west side of the town has sunk by around one metre. So, that’s an interesting development, and the danger isn’t over yet. But, the scientists are sounding a bit more optimistic that there won’t be an eruption inside the town, although it has not been ruled out completely.

      Oh man, it’s the season finale of Stranger Things all over again. 

      Seriously, glad the fam is okay.

  24. le sigh... Love me some good and well done magical realism… Decided to give the show “Raising Dion” a chance. Got into it, like it, actually quite like it… then watch seven year old with superpowers break into super secret lab to find a bunch of animals that would be exotic in the eyes of a little black kid in the middle of Atlanta, and he goes 
    ”Wow, where do all these animals come from?”
    Godfather-mentor-sidekick: “They come from Iceland...” while staring at a pair of sheep in a glass cage.
    Me…: “OOooh, yeah, no, they don’t, buddy, those are not Icelandic, and that horse sure as shit ain’t either.” 
    Magical realism utterly shattered...

      My first reaction was shared disappointment as above.  My second reaction was to try hiring Ste7en Foster to redo the audio track—never mind that the show is real-life instead of anime, and that hearing-impaired viewers would become intensely confused since unlike anime lip-flaps, you can read lips in real-life film and video.  My third reaction was that some Icelandic rancher must be pissed that some magical ne’er-do-well has stolen all his animals, and that “Gramps” is either a “Dionverse” Auror or in on it.  Oh, well...
