Tatiana's Wanderings

I slept so much today! Woke up at 9, but had to rest till 10:45. Then I felt a bit under the weather, and had to sleep from 3:10 to 6:05! At least redrum seems to be subsiding for now...

I took in the BO HORVAT CAPTAINCY / 50TH SEASON CEREMONY without any incessant talking, which was a win! The Canucks played the Kings at 7 tonight as a throwback to 1970, and won 8-2! Kirk McLean, Stan Smyl, both Sedins, and Todd Bertuzzi were there, but it was so understandable that Trevor Linden wasn't.

From Julie: Montreanna?! Like Montreal?!




( So many bad names! )

Vanessa says her husband Jason's aunt was involved in this Burnaby car crash yesterday evening, so she had a bad night. :(

She called me at 9:50 AM to let me know how he knew it was her - she was just out to take a walk and never came home, so his cousin went to see what was up and came across the scene. The cars were speeding and she never knew what hit her. Jason came home crying and so she wondered what was up. At the time she called, he was over at his mom's and aunt's place to spend time with them, since he was angry. Of course Vanessa isn't going to the funeral with the baby!


From Melissa and Buzzfeed Canada: A yellow pooptastic hardcover notebook!




From Julie M. and Unnecessary Robots: Begging my poop to flush when I'm at someone else's house, but the poop just peeks out over the toilet water and seemingly refuses!

After DOUBLE COFFEE TIME, I went out at 1:50 on a 401 to get two more on-sale 6x126 Scotties Kleenex boxes at London Drugs, since the sale expires tomorrow and I was going to be out anyway. While I was there and waiting in the wrong line because this dude decided to delay everyone by not having a coupon or card available OR payment at the ready, I decided to ask the cashier to open the recalcitrant multivitamin bottle from yesterday, just in case. (I'd brought it along to see if Rachel could open it) The clerk could not, but thankfully believed me that I'd bought it yesterday, so I WAS ABLE TO DO AN EXCHANGE WITHOUT THE RECEIPT! PHEW!

Afterwards, I thankfully managed to catch the 414 on Minoru to see Rachel at The Caring Place (talking a LOT about Sandy / banking / disability plans / boundaries), then I rushed home afterwards! I thought I discovered a REDRUM smell after eating a bowl of pasta with straw mushrooms, Prego pasta sauce, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. IT WAS LAUNDRY TIME AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD, JUST IN CASE! (pun intended, hahaha) I also sent Frances a quick "happy birthday" email for tomorrow while I remembered. The Canucks played the Wings at 4:30 today; the game went to overtime, and lost 3-2 in a SHOOTOUT! Now I feel the Monthly Drain Sleep Experience (MDSE) coming on... ZZZZZ...


I used the MOTHER 3 Debug Room (not with any great success...), and here is a double Bateau glitch, preventing Flint from joining Duster atop the cliff in Chapter 1. Flint can't go anywhere else because the original Bateau (the one not on the Wall Staples ladder) will say that Duster is waiting for him!




Flint has rescued Fuel from his burning shack in Chapter 1. They've made it to Isaac's house at the entrance to Sunshine Forest, and have refused to save their game with the Save Frog. "Oh, I see... You know, you're quite pitch black."

In MOTHER 3, Saturn Valley is blocked off by a Pigmask bomb, and the party has to help the Mr. Saturn characters catch a bird. This one has a balloon, and says: "One birdie more. Fishing for birdie."




Lucas, Kumatora, Duster, and Boney are about to take off in the MOTHER 3 Saturn Valley "birdie cage" when Rope Snake comes up to them. After the party refuses his offers of help a couple of times, he says: "Please! I'm begging you! See? I even have my hands clasped together!" A SNAKE HAS HANDS?! I'm so moved! Then in a "but thou must" situation, he takes over the cage anyway.




After Rope Snake takes over the Saturn Valley "birdie cage" in MOTHER 3, this Mr. Saturn says: "Here goes no something."
