People talking.

I've got the first one, I might just reinstall it on this machine if its fast enough to run the cunt.

Quite an enjoyable game too.

My kids are enjoying RWBY 4.

I have my sound system set up to shake the house on large scary parts. They are laughing and "being together."

I love this. I am listening to Led Zeppelin through my headphones, posting here and there and enjoying seeing them NOT fight.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

The sound of american dad on TV in the background, and the music of pokemon ruby version, running as a pirated ROM on an emulator on the computer.  (I got into a retro gaming mood the other day and decided to grab something along those lines, but that I've never played before. I'll probably DL the entire series and just DL emulators for the relevant game consoles too. Although I've got to figure a way out to interface my old pokemon silver gameboy cartridge to upload a couple of otherwise unique or un-catchable ones in this version, like celebi (only available  via special promotional event some time ago, and by sheer luck I managed to come by it, well luck and stupidity. My luck to find somebody stupid enough to take something that can be caught in-game in trade for it and actually part with it. Unbelievably fucking stupid of them, totally beyond belief. But damned if I can time travel to the past to visit japan. So I wasn't going to stop him. Guy was a git to begin with, not to mention a poof and the prime suspect for outright stealing something from my own game cartridge, as well as leaving a turd behind some vases in the toilets at my old boarding school. And no, it wasn't a plastic joke turd, it was a sin against nature that had come out of somebody's arsehole and been picked up by that someone and deposited behind the fucking ornaments.

That is NOT the kind of ornament that those shelves were ever meant to play host to. 

Bloody shelf-excrement-leaving limp-wristed nancy-boy thieving piece of what he was almost certainly the one to leave on that shelf.

People talking in hushed voices. Music of some description.

That's a very vague description, pretending to be somewhat precise. You should become a diplomat or a politician.

Be more specific. What kind of music? Even if you can only use words like awesome or loathsome.

Bulldozer next door. Some other kind of machinery that I can't pinpoint. The wind. Crackle of the logs in the wood stove.

Here the bulldozering stopped for the day. Been going on for two days now.

Actually it's a good description. Airport lounges are what they are. Hushed voices--you hear murmurs and the occasional laugh, seldom anything more, rarely disturbing, almost never bothersome. Music--somewhat jazzy but not modern, not fusion, not offensive. Pleasant, never invasive but also never worthy of your attention. You sit there and mind yours. All of a sudden it's time to get to your flight.

Aaaah the equivalent of "Eine kleine Liftmusik" aka musac.

I think these folks will keep going until the first snowfall. They start by 8am and it usually continues until 4pm.  They're not close to being done so the winter will give us a reprieve but then they'll continue in the spring I'm sure.
