I think I brought back something from Mordor

[diekahvi]

The world outside my window is coverd in snow. Seems I was too fast with replacing my winter default icon with a spring one on saturday. I should have known better. On friday I drove to friends for an afternoon of MERP gaming and the weather kept changing between hail, snow and rain. Which led to funny moments while gaming. Our group was searching the mountains between Ithilien and Mordor ... in winter. And the GM from time to time described landscape and weather and said "It's starts to snow." And we would look out of the window and comment" Yes, it does." or "No, it's raining now." :-)
But still I was surprised today to be woken by sashatwen saying that it was white outside. It was snowing big fluffy flakes while we had a long breakfast. But by lunchtime it had already started to melt away. And on my drive home I came through places completly free of snow. During the afternoon it started to snow again and now everything is covered by a thick layer of snow. I wonder how long it will stay.

Now to something completly different. Some days ago I was musing about that old poster saying "All I need to know about live I learned from Star Trek". Remember that one? And I tried to put up some lists about other series/films. Feel free to add things, some lists are a bit short. And I bet I forgott some things that should be on a list like this.
All I need to know about live ...

1. Running is always the first option - preferably through endless corridors


2. Every device can be a bit more sonic - even a screwdriver


3. So many species, so little time


4. Every planet has a north


5. Very advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology


6. Don't vote Saxon


7. In every pit lurks a creature - but it doesn't need to be evil


8. Never trust aliens that resemble German WWII soldiers


9. Things can be bigger on the inside


10. Two hearts are better than one


11. Women are surperior to men, they can control their regeneration ;-)


12. Need help with aliens? Call UNIT. Need to shag? Call Torchwood.


13. When chased by a Dalek, use the stairs - update: forget that, they can fly now


14. Daleks are helpless when blind. Always carry something to throw over them like a hat, a scarf ... or a towel :-)

1. The truth is out there


2. Trust no one


3. Beware cigarette smoking men


4. Trust no one


5. Keep away from black liquids


6. Trust no one

1. Always have an extra sock ready for freeing house elfs


2. Don't trust Snape.


3. Don't underestimate weird fortune tellers


4. Trust Snape.


5. There is no good or evil, only power and those afraid to use it.


6. Don't trust Snape.


7. Chocolate is medicine


8. Trust Snape.

1. Never cross the streams.


2. Don't look into the trap.


3. Don't be noisy in a library.

1. 42


2. Always take a towel with you


3. Your adress: ZZ Plural Z Alpha


4. Mice are more intelligent than you


5. There's no decent tea available else then on earth


6. Keep away from Vogon poetry, Vogon bureaucracy ... keep away from anything Vogon especially Vogons themselves

Everything I ever needed to know I learned from watching B5

. Watch out for Shadows, they move when you aren’t looking at them.

• We are already in far greater jeopardy than you can possibly imagine

• Know where your orders come from.

• Greatness is never appreciated in youth, called pride in midlife, dismissed in old age and reconsidered in death

• There is always choice. We say there is no choice only to comfort ourselves with a decision we have already made

• Intelligence has nothing to do with politics

• Bad guys make a very agreeable thump! when they hit the floor

• … but do not thump the book of G’Quon. It’s disrespectful.

• Nobody listens to Zathras

• Some favours com with too high a price

• Take a great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

• We are star stuff. We are the universe, trying to figure itself out.

• Doing the right thing for the wrong reason will only get you into trouble

• No race can be truly intelligent without laughter

• As long as you are alive, everything else is negotiable

• Faith manages

• Believe what you will until experience teaches you otherwise

• All important books should have an index

• When you’re about to do something very unwise, it is tradition to ask your friends if they are ready.

• Always plant a lie inside a truth makes it easier to swallow

• What is, is. Opinion doesn’t matter.

• The future is always born in pain

• All life can be broken down in moments of transition and moments of revelation.

• Temporary, isn’t it a beautiful word?

Oh the things you find on your old hard drive years later...
