Skyrim Geek-Out! WIN!!!

This is not my image.  This is an image from the article.  Read it.

I have never played Skyrim.  I know this makes me a not-so-popular person.  I should hide in my closet and lash myself with wet noodles until I hallucinate the game.  Hmmm . . . that might actually be fun.  Back to the point of this post.

This article comes from Rachel, who has blown her knee out.  (It's a Skyrim joke I don't quite get.  But hey.)  She posted it on facebook and now here we are.  This article is complete geek.  AND A DAMN GOOD READ!

It is all about the geology of Skyrim.  That's right.  It's an article about the real and un-real rocks of this video game.  Now this is me.  I enjoy, in moderation, stuff like this.  This is not an article in moderation.  This is an article for geeks.  Real geeks.  Skyrim Geeks.

If you missed it above, here is a link to the article:  The Geology of Skyrim.

And here is a picture from the article:

Parrot Names for those with No Discernable Sense of Humor

Terry Pratchett or possibly Douglas Adams had a quote about people who name cats with puns to prove they have no sense of humor. I can't find the quote, but these tickle my funny bone.

My New Office Space

     So Sam now has the room my office was in, and my office is a sectioned off area of the front room. I like how the space turned out -a lot- and we are getting along most of the time. It's not easy to translate husband/wife to roommates, but it seems to be working at this point

     So what we did was wall off part of the room with bookcases to block sound, and partition it; I had to bring down some books, will need to bring down more to complete that sound barrier. I also have the DVDs in here with me, and who controls the DVDs controls Arrakis! (because I have the Dune DVD in here too)

     What I am most excited about tho, is my additional display space. I have my TFPrime and Classics style up and looking good
