Tremendous Sale ads?

or Tremendous Salads? 

* Wintermoot has encountered neither of those things

So I'm pretty much afraid to talk to my apartment manager about anything, really.

Not because she's one of those managers that are bad and don't do anything...but because I'll go ask her something that should take a minute, and it'll take what feels like hours because she'll go on and on about really stupid stuff.

I'm also pretty sure that if she was guilty of one of the seven deadly sins, it'd be Pride.  She will talk nonstop about how she makes youtube videos for celebrities, how she talks to all of these celebrities she's friends with on soaps, how they give her "personal footage" from the shows for her to use in her videos, and how she'll only add celebrities on facebook.

She's shown me her videos, and they look like something a 3rd grader could have made...not something eye catching that the same celebrity would "absolutely love and share with their friends."  They're mainly picture slideshows and occasional video tidbits, with music playing in the background.  The pictures are all blurry and pixelated beyond belief, and the videos are shoddy and look like what you'd see if you watched a cam-quality video.

In short, as I said, they look like something a 3rd grader could make.    And she's quite proud to talk about all of them as if they're the greatest things ever made.

And since talk is cheap, I actually found a couple of the videos:

One
two

The videos, they are fascinating

Not the word I'd use, but okay. 

That's exactly the word I'd use.

A fascinating study in the human mind's incredible capacity for self-delusion.

Okay, that works for what I was thinking. 

With the Lazarus invasion over, I'm looking forward to some normalcy and picking back up on things here. Adventures outside the region are well and good (and usually stressful ), but there's no place like home.

Indeed.  I'll be keeping my nation there for a while to help keep watch and see how things progress.

Speaking of which, I'm up to 16 nations now:

Charlie and the Chocolate Penguin  (The West Pacific)
Charlie and the Penguin Factory (The North Pacific)
Penguin Dictators (Wintreath)
Penguin Instigators (Albion)
Penguin Pretenders (Mordor)
Penguin Usurpers (10000 Islands)
Penguin Protectors (Lazarus)
Penguin Quartermasters (Kingdom of Great Britain)
Penguin Companions (Reckoning of Albion, for their contest)
Pengu (Taijitu)
Pride and Penguins (United Kingdom)
The Seven Levels of Heaven (Yggdrasil)
The Seven Circles of Hell (Hellenic Civilization)
Tredania (Wintreath)
The Ghost of Space (The South Pacific)
The Ghost of Time and Space (The East Pacific)

Don't ask why I bothered to spread them all out.  I'm only active on ours, Albion's (mainly for spam), and 10KI's messageboards, and Lazarus' RMB. 

My surgery went well, I'm home now, still really weak, but my body's accepting the organ. Still having some problems, but apparently they're unrelated.

I'm really glad that it went well, Nox! Fantastic that your body's accepting...

And it's good to have you around.

That's really good news Nox

Agreed, I'm also very glad to hear that it went well!

Testing something with @Govindia.
