I dunno... the pallet of Middle Earth seemed alot brighter and clearer after the last ship left the Grey Havens... the elves skitterin' around on deck squeelin' run away! runaway!...
besides... when yer diggin' fer mithril in Moria, yuh cain't see the weather outside...
Yup, she put her house up for sale yesterday. We're going to be housemates. I'll get to spend all the money I save on anime and manga.
Speaking of which, Fullmetal Alchemist starts releasing next Tuesday...
Elf eye fer the straight guy...
I sets him up. He shoots 'em in.
Yeah, but at $29.98 a pop for only 4 episodes, you're talking just over $500 for the whole 51 episode set by the time you're said and done.
Go away for months at a time and yer gonna miss a few mini-dramas...
I've seen it for $19... but I'm buying the set with the art box and that's a little more. The thing is, I can't justify downloading fansubs if I don't spend cash now and then. And it's my favorite series, after all.
!!
What about yer job? Are you going back to school in Colorado?
jest how are they gonna do that from the "Undyin' Lands"?... they already run off...
I'll be looking for a new job.
If'n the house sells. That's the biggest obstacle in all this.
I think this counts as a major-drama. Did I miss a vote?
How're your sibs taking it? Are they going to slowly follow you out west?
Oh, they'll just laugh when you die... that's the thing about being immortal, you get the last laugh eventually.
Well, I'll be praying your house sells.

Don't you need to bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down in your backyard? I heard that helps. ;^)
All we did was give her a little shove out of the door...
Suuure, Gandalf...
There wasn't really a vote. I just up and announced it. ;-) Seriesly, I've been wanting for a while to get out of this area, and this is right. It just took me a very long time to come to a decision. Like...years.
Siblings? Well, one of the CA brothers had already mentioned the Fort Collins area as a place he'd like to live eventually, but he's moving to southern CA instead...there's an art school he wants to go to there, and it would allow him to keep his current job and just work remotely. The younger ones have greeted this with a mixture of "You GO!" and "I wish *I* could get out of here, but..." And they'll miss me, I'm sure, as I will them. But at least this time around we'll still be in the same country!
....and.....and.....you're breaking up the BAND!?!?!?
*sigh* Yeah, there is that. That's the roughest part of this. But on the other hand, it was just about to happen anyway - Bill and Stephen have their own group with several other younger folks and don't really want to continue playing with us oldsters. ;-) And even if that doesn't happen, I'm not exactly essential - they'll play without me. Just someone else'll have to do that talkin'.
By the way, we started an Irish session at the local pub! It's only been running about a month, but doing pretty well. It's a very tiny pub, so that's the only catch. Nice little place, though - very much a family atmosphere, and not a rowdy place at all, which is nice.
I've told her there's a nice-looking Irish pub out here and sure to be some musical opportunities.
I'm just happy at the thought of having someone around who's not from my department. Sometimes you just want to scream, being around the same people 12 hours a day, six days a week.
