Hah :)

I appreciate the return of Miao.

Also, We live eternal.
Well, Goodbye.

DST is gone! The best part of the year is just starting. Football is in full swing, the weather's turning cold and the days are getting shorter.  Thanksgiving is around the corner then the lovely holiday season. I love November and December, let the good times roll!

Seriously?  A MONTH since someone posted to this thread?

Well.  It's not much, but I was able to use my hard-earned money from babysitting on Halloween (bleah), to buy a collector's edition of the new Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm.  It's now being shipped to me.

Sure, I don't have a place to set up a computer, or an active account to use with the game....

...but I have the entire set of collector's editions so far. :D

I won $50 bucks on a lottery ticket. IS that worth appreciating?

If it's the only good thing to happen to anyone who posts on this board for thirty days?  I'd say ... hell yeah.

Grats on the 50$ victory!

It's something. Of course I have to spend $20 on a work secret santa, needed to spend $20 on an emergency dinner last night and...well, go $10?

That's not only 10$ you wouldn't have had, it's 10$ you have instead of an unexpected flat out 40$ expense!

Optimism, Ana!

It's more fun to bitch, dammit.

There you go!  You got to bitch about something!  Isn't that worth appreciating?

Can I bitch about having to appreciate something instead?

See the bitching topic, I posted what I read there. Best one is the Bitter End - reread, but whatever - but I know you've seen that one.

Ah, yeah ... nothing new there for me.  I tend to pass on 'Ranma turns into a girl' stories in general.

Not that I'm condemning them, just not my thing. :|

I'm ambivalent about them. By definition they're likely to be a different flavor than the canon. On the other hand, some of the psychology - when done right - is fascinating.  When you throw in that how the curses work is a bit loose and a few other things, it can be a good mental exercise.

So I dunno. If a fic does it right I feel it has value.  How to do it reasonably without a magic handwave is far harder.

Ever read this one, Brian? I'm finishing it up now and I sort of like it. It helps if you're okay with time travel issues and and can go along with it. I'm bemused by the entire fic.  On reflection like isn't the right word. I'm not sure how the hell I feel about it.

Edit: I read the funfacts and causality analysis before I read the story. To be honest I think that makes accepting the story easier.
