Vy'drach Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My mom, who's been severely depressed for years about a cat she got rid of several years ago, has been actively trying to find him again. Today' she did just that, and he's fine and spoiled in a good home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarita Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Man that started off sad and got happy. I'm not sure I'd wanna know, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Aye, neither would I, but the not knowing for her would often send her into bouts of weeping. Not crying but outright weeping. She loves cats, especially that one, a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arashikage Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I saw Batman today at a crosswalk in the city. It's good to know that crime is being taken care of. XP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Today I received my copy of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, my Russian GP-5 gask mask, and my Sir Sebastian horse mask. Pics will be coming shortly, likely with one of them as my new avatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redeemer Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 At Christmas, there was a Coca Cola Christmas Truck shirt on sale but it was like, £20, which is maybe $35. But it was on sale at the same store, so I ordered one! Along with a really neat Ghostbusters shirt! They both arrived today: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Stelar Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I like that Christmas shirt ^ Anyways, for the first time in my life, I finally learned how to make GIF's! Uhm... no, not really I learned how to make parts of videos into Animated GIF's! That's a good news to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 AVANTASIA IS COMING TO CANADA HOLY FUCKING SHIT okay quebec and still a few hours and hundred dollars away from me but HOLY SHIT THEY'RE COMING TO CANADA FUCKSDLFG Go to them, my child. One of my biggest regrets in life is not being able to see the original Nightwish, the real Nightwish, live before they outed Tarja Turunen. Lord what I would give to go back to attend one of their shows, especially this one: The very last concert done by the original Nightwish. They literally split at the backstage of that concert.

Drasiana Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Not sure if I'll be able to effectively scrape together the $600~ for the plane ticket (holy fuck) but it's a nice sign that they're coming to Canada. It's always a little sweat-inducing with Avantasia being that they effectively break up every time they're done touring--not being a real "band" in the conventional sense, but a composite side project that only shows up whenever Sammet feels like doing it. Though he has promised a second part to TMoT, so there's at least a guarantee at a future tour. I just really love the lineup they have right now, though. Eric and Ronnie are beautiful additions <3 And yeah, that show would've been a thing to see. I wish I could still squeeze some enjoyment out of Nightwish but all the drama surrounding them kind of ruined it for me. Even Tarja's other stuff hasn't particularly grabbed me--her performance with Angra was kind of painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Tarja's other stuff hasn't particularly grabbed me--her performance with Angra was kind of painful Shame you probably won't be able to make it. And fortunately, I can still enjoy older Nightwish mostly, except "Wish I Had an Angel" because of this: And while Tarja certainly hasn't been up to the par Nightwish set up, I believe she still has a wonderful voice, where as Anette can't hit or hold a note to save her life, and Nightwish had to change their sound to try and cover that fact. Not gonna say she can't sing exactly, but not in a way that works for Nightwish. Ah well, what're you gonna do? Also, as for my bit of news today, I went to Barnes and Nobles to try and get a copy of the Metro 2033 novel (hopefully in a hardcover that wasn't $60+), but they unfortunately didn't have it, but while I was there I did see a hardcover copy of Dante Algihieri's Divine Comedy for $15. While I don't subscribe to the idea of heaven and hell, I must say I do find it interesting to read about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna say she can't sing exactly, but not in a way that works for Nightwish. Ah well, what're you gonna do? Oh I do agree on that for sure. I didn't mean I disliked her voice, she's a very good singer still, but I don't know...her latest performances have been missing some kind of spark I guess. Her performance with Angra was completely devoid of any of the emotion and sensuality that the songs originally had with André. Anette was a disappointment and kind of a strange choice, her voice was a square peg to the band's hole. She's gone too now, so let's see what happens next. That kind of vocal shuffling is what freaked me out about the Kamelot singer changeup but Tommy turned out awesome so whew. Good news of the day: They're finally getting close to fixing the elevator in our building. This elevator hasn't worked since we moved in. We live on the top floor (out of four). FINALLY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Anette leave? I haven't been keeping up to date with them since she arrived. I must say, this does make me happy. Hopefully they can find someone else who can sing opera. That is certainly good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 She got into that weird leave/fired thing that happened with Tarja too. I talk about it which might be a better place for the discussion, but tl;dr she suddenly got sick on a tour and was momentarily replaced by Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz and threw a shitfit about it. Conflicting reports on whether she ragequit or if she just got fired because Tuomas just sort of does that. Floor Jansen has been touring with them and she does a decent job. TBH Tuomas is the one putting me off Nightwish more than the vocalists ever could though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Aye, he has been acting a baby. Incorporating a doll of himself into the songs to basically say "We got rid of Tarja but pity me instead!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulvokunvrii Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I got to go to the Nixon Library by myself yesterday! ITs been YEARS since I've been there. IT was like a whole new experience too! The amusing thing was I was the only "young person" there; must have been a slow day or something like that. Either way, I loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Finally got around to watching Wreck-it-Ralph, something I've been meaning to see for a long time, and son, I am not disappoint. Also, the novel Metro 2033 is turning out fantastically. Also, Metro: Last Light is a mere 3 weeks and 17 hours away. Is too long of a wait, actually. Also, I seem to have two problems. First, I seem to be way too into the Metro universe. On the upside, should humanity need to evacuate into abandoned subway tunnels and stave off mutants, I doubt I'd be the first to die. Second, not sure which revolver I own fits the theme better. The top is antique (the model was made from 1908-1917) but seriously underpowered. The bottom is more practical, being a seven shot .357 magnum (should be plenty of power for those mutants), but is too pristine. And of course neither model is Russian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My mom, who's been severely depressed for years about a cat she got rid of several years ago, has been actively trying to find him again. Today' she did just that, and he's fine and spoiled in a good home. That's awesome! I have (had) a cat that disappeared quite a few years ago and I've given up hope of ever seeing it again. But.. who knows? And that last post of yours is.. awesome, to say the least. Good news from me? Nothing really exciting has happened lately, but I have been eating a lot healthier this week and, of course, feeling better too. So I'm happy.
