    "lol" is generally "Lots Of Laughs", or "Laugh Out Loud"... or Legacy Of Llylgamyn (for those who have long memories ;-).

    Oh and I didn't think your snippets were too long - I suspect most people would sit down and read them, simply for the curiosity factor if nothing else (seeing a big slab of text on the Complaint Thread o.0).

    ...I'm the same when the topic turns to console or online video games. Never really got into them as I never had a PS or X-Box, and would rather spend my online time in other pursuits. Besides, the majority of them always seem to involve combat as the major focus which I tend to find rather boring.

    That's just me.

    Also I tend to lose interest when technical discussions (particularly relating to programming and database management) begin to go way over my head.

    Got reminded today of someone (KK I think) mentioning Hatch Chile recently. As I live in New Mexico and it's Hatch harvest time I'm breathing the stuff most of the day at work every day. LOL
    There's two roaster's that take 30 lbs each sitting at the end of the building so the smoke from them blows into the store. Good smelling but eye and nose burning!

    ...OK as mentioned have been doing a lot of work on my primary antagonist, Ms Kovec:


    As the large doors shut behind Leela, the tall slender dark clothed woman turns from a portable computer she is hunched over and approaches her, "Ahh, my dear, we finally meet."

    Shaking her head she continues, "Leela. Leela, you know you really gave us quite a run, and cost us more than a few dinar these last couple days. "Let me see now," she continues glancing back at the screen, "Theft of a government vehicle, theft of government and military equipment, reckless operation aforementioned vehicle, ramming and injuring of four motorcycle officers, killing of a Russian military officer, killing of an SID official...

    ...those are just a few of the charges against you. Why, the last one alone can be grounds for execution."

    She turns back to face Leela and smiles before continuing, "However, young lady, you are most fortunate in that your value to the state, and to me allows me to dismiss all of the above."

    Leela looks up both somewhat scared and somewhat puzzled.

    'You don't know who I am, do you child?" Rita says.

    "You are Blacksuit, like the one I shot. You take people away from their families...," Leela replies quietly, looking down for a moment.

    In a gentle voice Rita corrects her, "Close child, in a way....you see, those whom you refer to as 'blacksuits', they all work for me."

    Leela looks up, eyes wide in disbelief, "...No...you cannot be...not her, not..."

    "...the 'Black Spider of Beograde', as your people love to call me?" Kovec says finishing the girl's statement, "Yes my dear, it is I."

    Leela steps back and then with a defiant look stammers, "W-Why do you hurt my country? Why have you taken me from my momma? If I had a gu--"

    Leaning slightly forward the dark clothed woman interrupts," ...you would shoot me of course. I wouldn't blame you." Staring the young red haired woman in the eyes she then adds, "However even if you had one, I don't think you could pull the trigger."

    Leela glares at her, then suddenly shivers as it feels as if Rita's words are reaching inside her mind dispelling any notion of violence and instead leaving her with an odd sensation of calmness.

    Taking a deep breath, Kovec continues in a more gentile voice, "That's better. Now, as to your first question, you will learn the answer in due time. As to your second, you are here because you are very important to me my dear. You see, you and I are going to become very good friends." Gesturing to a tray of food on the table behind her Rita says invitingly "Come, eat, you must be hungry. Afterwards we can talk all about your mother....

    ...the one in England.

    Hey great, will Leela do a Leon (from Bladerunner) and "I'll tell you about my mother...." BANG ?


    ...we'll see (heh) ;-)

    Love that you caught the reference. One of my favourite scenes as well as a favourite question of "shrinks" in the real world today. Kovec is a master of her craft and basically "wrote" the SID's [State Information Directive's] manual on the "fine art" of psychological warfare.

    My own opinion of the first/third person voice debate (and not a writer but work with plenty) is you find some kind of truth in the story and go with that. When Blade Runner was being made the producers and crew hated the rushes because it wasn't how people "normally" shot stuff. The crew even demanded Scott be deported back where he came from :lol: Yet here we are now, still inspired by it... Just goes to show how you have to swim against the tide and do what's difficult, to tell a story sometimes :)

    Smells great but when it's being flame roasted 30 lbs at a time for hours on end being any where nearby for an extended time can be uncomfortable. LOL

    Hmmm..... I might end up in Clovis for a while this Friday. Mondays and Fridays are my days off work and my mother is arriving for a visit tomorrow. The reason I might end up in Clovis is this; http://clovismusicfestival.net/ If she wants to go we will be. I do know that she wants to go see the Daley Windmill collection in their new home. http://www.portales.com/attractions_daley.htm The last time she was here they still were on the Daley's property.

    Oh wow I read about all those places in Larry McMurtry books they sound real exotic to this aussie anyhow :) And the music tickets are solo cheap, nothing much under $100 for live music here :)

    Is it Daley or Dalley? The headline says Daley, but Dalley is used throughout the write-up. :-S

    I love jawas from Star Wars. I think they're the coolest things. So when Fiance asked if I'd do another render of Glaucedes, I had to build some jawas from whom he could get an offer for a bounty. I had that bazooka in my content folder for years and I finally found a use for it.

    But... Jawas with rocket launchers? How ridiculous. They'd never allow anything like that in SWTOR! Oh, hey Blizz, good to see you again. Finished with that mission?

    Made good progress.. got a VERY broad plot outline and a pile of characters and places. Things should come together fairly quickly once I really get rolling. :)

    Here's hoping...!
