Now we are about to set up the Happiness points for Careers now that our individuals here have retired. Hey, they were in the military – they deserve some happiness. Yeah, Admirals get a lot of happiness points – that’s from their gigantic monthly salary and being able to be in command of things of strategic importance.

If you’re wondering why Ensigns (2nd Lieutenants, USMC) through Lieutenants (Captains, USMC) don’t get any happiness points, well, 2nd and 1st Lieutenants (Ensign and LTJG) are too junior to have earned any happiness – they’re still trying to figure it all out while getting caca dumped on their heads and well Captains (LT, USN) are pretty much unhappy because they don’t have any power at all like the senior and flag officers, and they’re just in charge of scut-work. OK...maybe I’ll give them SOME happiness at having their rank and all that, like maybe about 10,000 happiness points. Maybe I’ll give 1st Lieutenants and Lieutenant Junior Grades about 2,500 happiness points...y’know, they’re happy that they’re no longer butterbars and politely told by non-commissioned officers to shut up and listen you Academy or Rotsee puke.

Earlier that morning, Animal decided that he was going to put the RGB Gem Cutter to good use after conjuring a few gemstones.

And Mac and Jugs decided they were going to work on the potion tables – hopefully they would come up with something useful rather than stink potions.

Keeter headed to the dumpsters to look for things. Hopefully he would find things more useful than maggots or roaches. At least roaches could be turned into some pricey plasma bugs if someone was able to get their science skill level high enough.

Meg was busy harvesting the lettuce and wondering why she wasn’t gaining any experience in the gardening skill. Well, it’s because harvesting doesn’t take skill. So better pull out that gardening skill book you bought and start reading up as well as doing your daily requisite handiness and inventing skill reading.

Meg: “Jeez, you’re pushy, Narrator!”

Narrator: “Well someone has to keep ya’ll motivated.”

Metalman started working on an invention, not aware of the fact that these things can potentially combust and turn him into a flaming torch, though he would find out eventually…

Meanwhile Animal decided to head for the elixir shop to consign his gemstones.

Animal (thinking): Jeez, civvie pukes are weird, sunglasses inside?

Maegyn was working on the science station trying to get her skill level high enough that she could turn bugs into plasma bugs. Goodness knows that bugs don’t like being bombarded by radiation which is one of the key elements of turning an onrdinary insect into a radioactive super-bug.

Maegyn would find out they have a propensity to escape.

Narrator: “watch it...they bite”

Jugs was trying her level best to ignore Maegyn.

Well Monday didn’t start off great for Metalman. In a fit of rationality, went and paid off the semi-weekly bill (yes, that is the correct terminology, though we do not hear it very often – we have heard of the term semiannually – which means something that happens twice a year)

Animal had also returned and was working on the second inventing table.

Metalman: Help, help...I’m on fire…

Animal: Go take a cold shower, Metalman.

The second attempt didn’t fare much better.

Mac: That’s the second time he’s set himself on fire, sir. Is he normally that clumsy?

Animal: I presume so, Major, it’s not for the lack of trying. His last fitrep came in as. This officer has amazingly attained new heights of ineptitude never seen before in an officer of his calibre.

Mac: Please don’t give him a command position, sir.

Animal: Not my call, if he gets recalled. That’s on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Metalman: I think I’m going to go read a book.

Instead of making himself an incendiary for the third time in as many minutes, he decided to park his butt in a chair and read the inventing book. Hopefully it will help him to not set himself ablaze, but well…that might be hoping for too much.

Animal: Try reading your handiness skill book. Commander, maybe that might help in keeping you from lighting yourself in flames a third time.

Metalman: What’s that saying about...oh, I forget.

They say three times the charm, but Metalman wasn’t about to take that risk – not if Animal could help it.

Animal: I wouldn’t count on that.

Metalman: Hold on, I need to take a phone call. Oh, you need some plumbing cleared out? Sure, I can do that. Narrator (picturing a deluge thanks to a cracked water-main): Oh God...

Animal: Bloody HELL! Keeter. How in the flaming blue blazes did you set the damned table on fire!

Keeter: I don’t know, I don’t know...it just went kablooey on me.

Harm (speechless)

Maegyn: Animal’s gonna go kablooey on you too in another minute! Haven’t you read the MSDS safety data sheet on Working With Combustibles?!

Keeter: Too many big words? Maegyn: How in the hell did you get through flight school?

Jugs: That’s the last friggin’ time you get assigned to fly with me as my wingman, Keeter. I probably would end up getting my ass shot off.

Keeter: Aren’t we retired?

Jugs: I meant in the colloquial sense of the word.

Narrator: Yeah, after that, pretty much everybody decided that working at the Scraptonics Incendiary Workbench wasn’t the way to go to increase their invention skills though they’ll need it in order to put windows and doors in. Well hopefully no-one sets themselves on fire yet again.

Pecco 2nd place at Philip Island but Alonso qualifying P17 at COTA. Joy tinged with pain. This is why a woman must have multiple boyfriends (sports obsessions) at all times so that all the eggs don't end up in the same basket.

“Austin [Pendleton] gave me my first two jobs out of college... Right from the get-go of meeting him in that audition [for Williamstown Non-Equity Company] there was no preconceptions or judgements or biases, it felt like. It felt like he was just kind of accepting me on my terms.

I remember leaving that room thinking like, ‘I think I might get this job.’ And it wasn’t because I thought I like nailed the audition or anything — I felt like something happened in that room that was quite positive to me. And if I didn’t get that job I felt like, ‘I think I’m gonna meet that guy again.’ It’s not about my ‘talent’ or what I do, it’s about how people think and what people want to see and how they work.

Because I went through something when I was so young, at a time when I was so scared and so anxious and so full of fear, and I walked into a room and he was sitting there and he gave me comfort.” -Philip Seymour Hoffman in the documentary Starring Austin Pendleton (2011)

“[PSH’s] contemporary audition speech was the final speech of Tom’s from The Glass Menagerie, and of course one has heard that speech four hundred times. Phil did it—it sounded like he was making it up. It sounded like no one else had ever said this... Anyone who was in that room who didn’t pick him truly does not belong in the business.” -Austin Pendleton

Taxes can be collected from any kind of money; legal or the illegal kind. That is provided ofcourse no one finds out your money came from the wrong sources.

The Hamilton-Laurens family is an enormous one, yet the majority of them do not work- even when there are bills to be paid. God himself knows that a family of more then ten cannot live on the wages of three.

One of the families adopted children, Lucas, is known to have ties with less credible professions and criminal activities. After all it is well known they were a murderer and a cheat in their past life, would it be so against their morals to dip into the criminal underground once again to source money for the family?

It is also known that one of the family's other children, Philip, has a fondness for gambling, which his parents encouraged with limits untill Philips set of dice showed a dislike towards winning a game. I would say Philip's gambling might be a source of income, however with his habits of losing games he cheated in and wasting his money on booze and brothels- I am inclined to refute such a theory.

The head of the family, Alexander Hamilton Laurens, everyone knows as the man who knows banks and money and all such financial matters. If he knows how to secure money, transfer money, then he must know how to embezzle and steal money.

And on a last note, we must talk of the house. What is going on with it? It was inherited to the family from Pierre, one of the adopted children, and supposedly some add on's such as the farm have been payed by Tarleton, yet who finances the house in whole is yet not clear...

I spoke with the so called 'investigation team' on the topic of the house since I heard they were pursuing, well, an investigation, into the topic, however they were unwilling to answer any questions, they seemed to be too twisted up in some murder investigation of one of the people here... Perhaps they are in kahoots with the family as well?

A money to raise a family of more then ten cannot come from thin air, perhaps the money was made by gambling with the support of the parents, a certain criminal so they do not get caught and a few crooked police officers.

The spontaneous trip to Nevis is not one to glance over, perhaps it were not much of a vacation and much more of an escape...

Tidbits of information and rumors from all around are always appreciated

My Boyfriend's Back (1993)

In today's review, I find out that being dead, might give you a new lease, on your love life. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1993 zombie rom-com, My Boyfriend's Back #AndrewLowery #TraciLind #DannyZorn #EdwardHerrmann #MaryBethHurt #JayOSanders

Growing up is hard enough, we have a sea of constantly changing emotions, bodies, and situations to navigate, and it can feel like you are a whole new person. Almost like coming back from a near-death experience gives you a completely new outlook. In 1993. A film that combined the teenage condition with a lot of EC Comics-style spookiness, a film known as My Boyfriend’s Back. Johnny’s dead, but…

TV Time

Its various genres are often defined by their temporal boundaries: the half-hour sitcom, the hour-long drama, the limited miniseries, the live broadcast. They’re defined by the hour they’re designed to air: daytime, prime time, late night. More dramatically than even the theater or the Victorian serial, and just as much as radio drama, the most instantly recognizable modes of TV, even today, were shaped in their infancy by the simple question of how much time is available to show them, when, and over how long a period…. And that’s only thinking about questions of length and duration. These forms also evolved historically in relation to time slots, commercial breaks, or even seasons of the year.
