Blake has adjusted very well, and she’s now on my lease. She’s also learned how warm and comfy it is on my bed, so she’ll come and join me while I’m gaming. She still needs some socializing, though, as she’s still pretty skittish with other people.

You must be a Keyblade wielder!

Half my chin is numb. (Dental work. Crown prep on one side today, crown install and prep for crown on other side in a couple weeks. So far, coming up on 50, I’ve still got all but the wisdom teeth, but it certainly takes more effort now to keep up.)

Stopped by bank branch and got card for mortgage consultant and left number to be called back. Doing this with my brother will be interesting, as he’s the one with the higher income and the down payment, but I’m the one comfortable dealing with people and making/receiving phone calls. He has pretty bad anxiety to do with things like phones, and online appt making is his savior at times.

I had to look that up.

Wasn’t familiar with Kingdom Hearts, was sure you weren’t referring to the KH-3 CORONA photo reconnaissance satellite.

Once upon a time, long long ago, I worked on the KH-8 Gambit and KH-9 Hexagon, CORONA was before my time.

Misbecky-argent-dawn · January 30, 2019, 8:53pm

I looked at that KH3 and just figured it was something I’m too old to know about and moved on.

Reminding me of:

Perl-anetheron · January 31, 2019, 1:47am

Sooooo cooooooold!

Me getting the kids ready for school today (and tomorrow is supposed to be colder):

Zarisel-turalyon · January 31, 2019, 1:56am

Just got a fire going in the wood stove, temp is going down to -2 tonight and…
“Wind’s owlin’ today!”

Start to get cabin fever around this time of year, look forward to spring and having the doors and windows open again. Just booked a vacation to Disney World in March, that will be a nice break from the cold. Had to use up the rest of my banked vacation points before they expired.

Teufelgott-shadowsong · January 31, 2019, 3:39am

Was -27°F (~-33°C) last night, with wind chills exceeding -50° (-46°C). It’s ‘only’ -19°F (-28°C) currently, but the wind is worse so, the ‘feels like’ temp is about the same.

An hour before closing last night, my other delivery driver decided it was finally too cold to continue, which left me to make the remaining deliveries. Franchise management (finally) made the decision to close their stores at 9pm tonight.

On the bright side, it should be just warm enough to wash the car when I go back to work Friday afternoon.

Have any of you had dreams about Warcraft? I had a vivid dream last night that I was actually in the game sorta like a virtual reality thing; There was a group of us of about 25 or so fighting this dragon; The dream was so real I woke up sweating.
You know it could be possible in the near future (A couple years or so) that Blizzard could make certain dungeons in virtual reality; How cool would that be?

Is it possible?

anon83669306 · January 31, 2019, 6:04am

Not that I remember. However, in terms of VRMORPG, my brother has me watching Sword Art Online - and it’s weird seeing this fictional idea of what an MMORPG would be like and knowing what the reality is more likely to be.

Plus, he has a VR headset and I’ve played some of the games. Right now it’s interesting, but nowhere near a visual resolution and much less so any ability to “move” without requiring physical movement in the real world or tricksy ways like using grapples to pull based on hand controllers - not quite conducive to fighting a dragon in WOW. =P

Rufflebottom-bloodhoof · January 31, 2019, 11:20am

Yes, I’ve dreamed of WoW. Half first-person “I am the character” and half third-person controlling like the game actually is.

Mulberry-fizzcrank · January 31, 2019, 11:30am

/peeks in

/steals more coffee

Everyone’s a keyblade wielder … According to lore, at least. I think. Maybe? /brain asplodes

/goes back to KH3

Side note: Hubs has two vehicles to get to work with. I accidentally killed one battery while he was underway at the end of the fall - didn’t start the bike very often. The cold (and comparatively right now - it’s not that cold!) killed the battery in his car. Sooo he had to take my car in to work.

He was getting ready to freak out before he left 'cause he had to find a way to get one of his two vehicles working. Until I told him to stop being an idiot and take my car.

Rufflebottom-bloodhoof · January 31, 2019, 11:32am

Oh no! He has to drive the “Mom” car!

Mulberry-fizzcrank · January 31, 2019, 11:40am

Pfff …

He picked out the “mom” car without my input! It’s the same car he’s been driving for the last ~10 years!

I just have to go to the store today, and he’s working late.

Rufflebottom-bloodhoof · January 31, 2019, 11:51am

See. He knew he’d be driving it at some point.

Mastadôn-thrall · January 31, 2019, 11:56am

Sounds like somebody needs tk stop by the store on the way home to me.

Merdrah-blades-edge · January 31, 2019, 1:11pm

Lightning!

Hadrimmdar-silvermoon · January 31, 2019, 1:57pm

That’s what it was yesterday morning when I got up. I decided to stay home from work.

Tomten-arygos · January 31, 2019, 2:48pm

We’ve got our lake to keep us warm, it was a balmy -3°F, although the lake does like to dump snow on us so far Buffalo to our West and Watertown to the East have gotten most of that.

Thank goodness we use Fahrenheit, -3° is plenty cold enough it would have been too cold at -19°C and much too hot at almost 254°K.
