Post-CatEasterlypse

It looks like a weird flower! -Taken from a plane,
the city of... God only knows..
Easter, one of my favourite holidays, has come and gone.
I'm now back in Swansea with my lovely classmates and friends and rehearsals have started at full force.

The Easter holiday was really nice. First, I sat on my arse a lot, playing WoW with my sister. Then I saw some friends and we went to Ose and the cabin we have there. Which was nice.
We played Clue a lot. I freaking love Clue.
"Was it the blue one in the fireplace WITH A FUCKING BOOT!?"
I totally rock at it, of course...


I may have lied in my previous statement. May.

We also went a bit to Okse, where we also have a cabin (don't even. The cabins are both TINY.), and which happens to be my favourite one... Because it's awesome. Saw a couple of family members there and their kids. Painted faces (which I kind of hope they strugged to get off, because that would be amazing) and hands and shit. We didn't paint shit. It's just a great word to end sentences with.

I also discovered I had taken a disgustingly large number of cat photos. Like a litter full of them (hah!). Kittens. Cat... pun...
So I will inflict those on you (some. Not all. You'd be stuck forever then.), like the exceptionally good person that I am. (DO NOT QUESTION THIS STATEMENT!!!!)



 Look at him! He is such a little cutie! He's all "hey, I am your cat and I am amazingly hairy. You want to touch me, don't you. WELL YOU CAN'T BECAUSE I AM _THAT_ AMAZING!!"
- That should, of course, be read in a stereotypical British accent, because, as you know, that's how cats speak.

You didn't know? Well now you do! Consider yourself enriched. You learn things here. This is a place of learning.
You may now go into the world spreading your knowledge, like, all over it!

 Yeah, so last time I saw then Vitani, he was a girl. So coming back to Nuka the boy was a bit weird. But also kind of awesome. Because then I won't lie when I say "I have boys over all the time!"
Or: "I sleep with dudes (however that would only be correct if we had more male cats..) all the time!" which makes me sound TOTALLY inappropriate, which is why it is so funny.
Clearly.
My cat and me, posing, cuddling and being adorable.
Me, not the cat.
Jokes. Jokes.
OK, I think we're close enough now... I have something to confess.. No Admit. I'll be the first to admit; It wasn't really all that funny.
It had great potential, but then I sort of just ruined it. What a chump.

"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.
You killed my father.
Prepare to die."
Anyway, moving on from the cheap humour, we (meaning I) also found out his scratching post was basically infected with mushroom (we used a birch log, because dad casually keeps them around all year long.), and when you moved it, it stunk up the basement.
I felt like I breathed in a billion spores. I'm sure those fungi enjoy my lungs. They are moist aren't they? Lungs, I mean.
I had a little bit of a Google search and found they are indeed moist.

I told you, a place of learning! You should start having faith, man. Being so negative all the time inhibits the learning experience!














Yeah, so, where was I? You are totally distracted by the cat cuddling a fluffy plush animal aren't you. Yeeeaaah you are.

The fluffy-cuddly thing was very popular. In the sense he wanted to murder it every chance he got. I'm not sure what Colourful Fluffy (CF) did to Kit, but he seemed very offended when he was hanging off of Fluffy's foot.
It was a harrowing experience for CF. He didn't want to see anyone for a week. A week!
You know there is some serious trauma involved when a fluffy and colourful plush-thing doesn't wanna see anyone for a week.

Nuka was all "I apologised like a million times, man!" (this time in an American accent)
CF was all "Oh heeeeeyell no! *snap snap snap*" (like an old American black woman)
Then Nuka was all "BUT I've saveded all my treatz 4 u!" (Because in reality, let's be honest, he IS a cat. He probably doesn't care about grammar.)
But CF didn't want his shit and was like "I QUIT!" and marched out the door like the proud ostrich.. dinosaur... armless creature that he or she is.
When I think about it, I guess we could have been nicer to CF, as we don't even seem to know his/her gender...

LOOK! A crotch!
So that TOTALLY happened.
My cat is awesome and I love him.
I think he has mixed feelings on me, however.
Whenever I go to hug him he's all "NO!!! I IS TEH BIZZI DOIN BIZNIZ! FAQ YOO! I VILL USE U AS TEH SCRATCH-POST!!" which is totally not true. Because whenever he is playful he likes to run away. And then demolish my mother's curtains/sofas/chairs/whatever he is able to destroy. So she stepped on him to teach him a lesson.

Which is a total lie again. Well she totally stepped on him, but it was an accident. And he was fine after. Just a little shaken up. But fine. Which is great.

But seriously. This Easter has been great. I got my new computer, got to keep it for all of two days before I turned it back in to Lefdal to get it fixed because THE STINKING VIDEO CARD WAS BROKEN!!!
... I have not had great experiences with computer-fixers in the past...
These seemed ('seemed' being the key word, here. I will not draw conclusions until I get it back) to be OK enough. And they didn't take THAT long to get it fixed... That is a bit of a lie. 5 weeks is kind of long. The repair-people didn't take long though as they were waiting for parts. The "diagnostics" (read: turning it off and on again) took ages though.

....This was not meant to be a rant-post, but I guess it kind of turned into one. I don't like it when I don't get things that work properly.

Anyway...
I know it's not really MEANT to be an innuendo, and that Sarge is really rather meant to be illustrated to sing bad, but when you just go censoring words willy (heh) nilly, you will, some day, happen to censor at the very spot you so desperately tried to avoid. What a chump. You should be ashamed censorship-man. Or lady.
Actually, not really, because it was kind of awesome stumbling upon it.
Right. I think this will suffice. I hope you learned important things.

Enough Minecraft solo-style already!

...BUT ALAS! I like to show off, so that is not EVER going to happen.
I have built some new shit in my world so naturally I want to show it off.. Because that is the kind of person I am. I show off. Because I am a shower offer.
OK I think you get the point.
So I decided to build a guard tower over the plain where I used to have the horses. I added a brewery to the bottom of it to use the space there. It looked a little weird without it.



Then I scrapped the whole "Tower" idea, because it looked a lot shoddy, FOOL. I went for the platform expanded in the air only to decide that "hey no, that is silly. I know Minecraft has got weird physics laws, but MY TOWER-THING ain't gonna be apart of that!" ...As much as it usually does. So I thought that if it was held up by the stairs it could look cool. I'm still not entirely sure about it...
Then I built a mine-thing with a jetty for, well, my mine. Made stairs for the exit and shit. Not very exciting, really. But it looks a lot better now than when  it was just an open hole...
Well that's my opinion anyhow.

STABLES!
I built stables for those poor horse-bastards!
If they were real horses, they'd be dead ages ago. BUT NOT ANY MORE! They would just thirst now... BUT NEIGH (heh..), they will live prosperous now. And stuff. Took me fucking ages, it did.
I can just say, straight away, that I cheated the shit out of this tower. No way did I have as much quartz as I used in this clock tower.
The clock does not work by the way. I tried, but I haven't got the smartz for that kind of fiddling with redstone, nor do I have the patience.
Probably.
Actually I have never even tried.
Well I did a bit on the clock, but then I gave up. But I have never really given it a proper shot.
But for now, levers are the One True Saviour.

A GALLOWS! For those naughty chickens.
Also a fairly decent way of gathering eggs/food.
MWAHAHA! Chicken Massacre.
The soil is stained red in the chicken coop.

So glad physics aren't as they are in real life, in Minecraft.... I'd be screwed all kinds of ways...

No matter... :D



A pool for those hot summer days... I decided I liked the camp-site place, so I made it into a barbecue-by-the-pool instead. I must admit I did cheat a couple of quartz blocks for this too.
And some lamps...
OK OK!
I cheated the pool entirely.
I've been very bad.
I'm not ashamed!

And thus concludes this time's CRAAAAAAZYYYY Minecraft Solo-style!
