89: Words do not have souls

The living are bad. The useful elf with the beads knew two songs. He would not sing the second. I would learn both. The first was a good song about a fish. Fish are useful. I catch them every day for the village and for Dog and Little Dog. Dragon eats fish, but Hip does not.

The elf was bad, but he belongs to a senior knight. If he were my elf, I would make him obey and sing both songs.

The living are stupid. He said he would not teach me the second song unless I knew the words for the first. I learned them all. I sang the fish song. He said words have souls. The living do not make sense. Words do not have souls. Words are words.

((Song from the scene: Big-Eyed Fish, by DMB.

Also, I forgot to post this one here, so it's later on DW than it was on LJ. Sorry!))

Song of Ice and Fire app!

The new Song of Ice and Fire app is kind of cool! And free! You can set locations for any city in the world (I use my own hometown, my childhood town, my mother's and sister's current towns, plus major cities like London and Las Vegas), and depending on the time and weather in each place, you get a fitting screenshot and quote from the new HBO series!

In-app, these images are animated. Clouds move, grass sways, etc.

As in New York City so in Winterfell

As in Los Angeles so in The Dothraki Sea

As in London so in King's Landing

As in Portland (Maine), so in The North -- my favorite!

Hmm. Oddly, while it gives the weather and time of day for the location, the time listing in the screenshot is my local time.

If I had someplace better to go... (WoW)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If I had anyplace better to go for RP, I'd be gone from WoW. Tonight for a new reason (new as in not posted before, not new as newly happening, it's been going on for a while).

In my experience, MMOs are played for the people, not for the game itself. And know what? I'm sick of being alone on WoW. I mean alone, fully alone. A bunch of social channels, and only one single one with people on it. And that one channel with people? No one has said a single thing over it in weeks.

I was so lonely and bored I actually leveled Thistle the worgen hunter tonight.

Doesn't help that usually I could spend my time making money, but there's a tiny handful of mats on the AH all for six or seven times my buying price, so... I just stand there at the AH, waiting.

I went to SMC to troll for random RP and everyone either logged, idled out, or ran off when I posted at them. (Plus the city seemed lacking in people, felt more like middle of the day than evening.)

Bah. I've tried tossing alts into guilds. I've looked for more social channels. I'm not used to struggling to make friends online. It's usually easier there!

Stupid game. I just want people to chat with and RP with. Is that asking too much?
