[17:29] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:29] <DeryniBot> All hail the arrival of KK to the chat!
[17:29] <RainbowDragon> Greetings, KK!
[17:29] <the_Bee> hi kk!
[17:29] <samuel> hello kk
[17:29] <KK> Hi, guys.
[17:29] <jemler> nice to meet you KK!
[17:30] <Wrengl> hi katherine
[17:30] <KK> Wait--what's this? Bynw-hospital?
[17:30] <Mistyck> hiyas Katherine
[17:30] <jemler> a reverent silence fall across the hall
[17:30] <Mistyck> RD and Jemler: Paul also starred in the spin-off
movie, Highlander: Endgame, and is as of 2005 filming the 5th
Highlander movie entitled Highlander: The Source in Lithuania.
[17:30] <RainbowDragon> Bynw's mom is in the hospital
[17:30] <the_Bee> visiting his mom
[17:30] * KK Quit
[17:30] <Mistyck> woops
[17:30] <RainbowDragon> ack!
[17:31] * KK has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:31] <DeryniBot> KK greets KK and welcomes them to chat with a cup
of Earl Grey tea
[17:31] <Mistyck> from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Paul
[17:31] <the_Bee> did we scare her of???!!!!
[17:31] <slobbit> hi kk
[17:31] <RainbowDragon> *grin* KK, look at your greeting from DeryniBot
[17:31] <the_Bee> rehi Katherine
[17:31] <Mistyck> wb Katherine
[17:31] <KK> Ack, I booted myself out. What's this, Bynw-hospital?
(Can't read the last few letters.)
[17:32] <Mistyck> visiting his Mom
[17:32] <KK> ah.
[17:32] <the_Bee> bynw's mom is in the hospital awaiting surgery
[17:32] <KK> Nothing too serious, I hope.
[17:32] <the_Bee> lung cancer :(
[17:32] <Mistyck> Per Tika (who seems to be away), they think they
caught the lung cancer in time
[17:32] <KK> Yike! Entirely too much cancer going around.
[17:32] <jemler> My aunt had cancer on her brain.
[17:32] <Mistyck> very true
[17:33] <Mistyck> how are you doing Katherine?
[17:33] <Wrengl> i like shiral's plan to ban cancer
[17:33] <KK> Well, I spent several hours today reorganizing the website
material. This will take a week or so, I suspect.
[17:33] <KK> I'm fine.
[17:34] <KK> I have a Gus on my lap, biting my hands when I try to
type.
[17:34] <Tika> heya KK
[17:34] <KK> Hi, Tika.
[17:34] <Tika> yes Bynw is visiting marnin today
[17:34] <RainbowDragon> reorganizing the website as well as updating
the information?
[17:34] <the_Bee> now, now Gus--licking, not biting
[17:35] <KK> Both. We're refining it, and losing 2 of the 3 versions.
Takes up too much space, and is too hard to maintain.
[17:35] <RainbowDragon> ahhh, sounds good
[17:35] <KK> Licking is also distracting.
[17:36] <Wrengl> true but it is less painful than biting
[17:36] <the_Bee> but less panful--unless it's your eyelids
[17:36] <KK> Mostly, though, he tries to bite the rings and knuckles.
[17:36] <Mistyck> or claws digging in
[17:36] <Wrengl> true
[17:36] <KK> Mind you, I haven't yet started actually updating my
bits--but at least I now know what I need to do.
[17:37] <Tika> heh Neko was doing something similar to my son's hands
at marnin's house earlier when he was online there
[17:37] <Mistyck> that's always good :)
[17:37] <Wrengl> that is good
[17:37] <KK> wrengl! hurrah!
[17:37] <Wrengl> we had a great week in atlantic city, katherine,
although I missed you last sunday!
[17:38] <Wrengl> and all we lost there was my hair!
[17:38] <Wrengl> tee hee
[17:38] <Wrengl> i am nearly an egghead
[17:38] <Mistyck> lol Pat
[17:38] <samuel> How goes the hunt for a new home? have you decided on
a bit north or back across the pond yet?
[17:38] <slobbit> bald is sexy
[17:38] <Wrengl> i am not the sexy type
[17:39] <jemler> why do you think Telly Savalas always said "Who loves
ya baby?
[17:39] <Mistyck> everyone can be the sexy type Wrengl ;)
[17:39] <slobbit> there's no such thing as not sexy
[17:39] <Wrengl> but kathi suggested i should get a wig since i will
still not have hair for worldcon or our alaska cruise after it
[17:39] <slobbit> so sez me
[17:39] <slobbit> A friend of mine did the scarf thing
[17:39] <Tika> you could get a pretty scarf, Wrengl
[17:39] <slobbit> she had rather a lot of them, and very stylish
[17:40] <Wrengl> and we did get a lot of work done on the fourteen
chapters i've written so far
[17:40] <Tika> great minds... ;)
[17:40] <Mistyck> you can always do a Kashmiri head-dress thing :)
[17:40] <slobbit> yay for progress!
[17:40] * ambush has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:40] <DeryniBot> The Camberian Council has sent ambush to join the
chat in #Deryni Destinations.
[17:40] <Tika> lol
[17:40] <Mistyck> hiyas ambush
[17:40] <Wrengl> hi ambush

[17:40] <ambush> hey
[17:40] <Mistyck> very cool Pat
[17:40] <the_Bee> hi ambush
[17:40] <jemler> Caught by Ambush
[17:40] <Wrengl> so far just crocheted hats kathi has made me
[17:40] * Kelos_al-Hazar has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[17:40] <DeryniBot> Kelos_al-Hazar enters the chat to the smells of
Wrengl's kitchen and joins in on the feast.
[17:40] <ambush> hiyas kk and gang
[17:40] <slobbit> I have uploaded my final Boskone report if anyone's
interested
[17:40] <Wrengl> hi kelos
[17:41] <the_Bee> hiya kelos
[17:41] <Mistyck> hi Kelos
[17:41] <Mistyck> Bee: Kashmiri head-dress for women is VERY ornate :)
[17:41] * Kelos_al-Hazar waves to the crowd and bows to KK.
[17:41] <natlog> turban trick I learned from a former boss: use a
shoulder pad on top of your head to make it look fuller
[17:41] <Wrengl> first I need to get used to wearing hats
[17:41] <slobbit> oh, I hate hats
[17:41] <Wrengl> so do i
[17:41] <Wrengl> even my bush hat spends most of it's time on my neck!
[17:41] <the_Bee> hats=winter headwarmers
[17:42] <the_Bee> winter wonderland
[17:42] <KK> Could always do a Minbari headdress....
[17:42] <Mistyck> yep
[17:42] <the_Bee> Minbari?
[17:42] <samuel> babylon 5
[17:42] <Wrengl> true
[17:42] <Mistyck> Babylon 5
[17:42] <jemler> no, go Centauri!
[17:43] <samuel> nobody knows what ever happened to Babylon 4
[17:43] <KK> Not to mention 1,2,3.
[17:43] <jemler> It was sent back in time with Sinclair (aka Valen)
[17:43] <Mistyck> Ryan and I are watching Season Two of "Highlander"
[17:44] <the_Bee> I started getting scifi for a couple of weeks, but
then it stopped
[17:44] <samuel> if I recall.... 1, 2, 3 were destroyed by
sabatoge..... but I could be wrong since I haven't seen it since
Season 1.
[17:44] <KK> I was just watching the tail-end of Starship
Troopers--still a great flick!
[17:44] <ambush> coolness...
[17:44] <Wrengl> 1,2,3,and 4 were all lost due to a timewarp
[17:44] <ambush> yep
[17:44] <Wrengl> well 4 went back in time to help with a war back in
time
[17:44] <jemler> kk, wasn't Starship Trooperson Stargate SG-1on Friday?
[17:45] <KK> I never really followed that series, though I liked the
episodes I saw.
[17:45] <KK> I dunno. It was just shown on RTE1.
[17:45] <samuel> later all. time for me to get back to my book.
[17:45] <the_Bee> I get SG-1 and SGA a year late in syndication
[17:45] <the_Bee> bye samuel
[17:46] <Tika> niters samuel
[17:46] <slobbit> bye samuel
[17:46] <natlog> yes, they mentioned Starship troopers on stargate
friday night
[17:46] * samuel Quit (Quit: see, I'm slowing down a little bit.....)
[17:46] <KK> Ah. Heinlein really wrote a good one in that.
[17:47] <the_Bee> I hardly get any cable channels. I need cable just
to get the broadcastr channels :(
[17:47] <KK> On the other hand, I recently reread his Friday, which
is...strange.
[17:47] <jemler> I like Turner Classic Movies.
[17:47] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Cable is (IMHO) a ripoff.
[17:47] <Wrengl> heinlien's early books were often really good!
[17:48] <KK> Not if you don't get good terrestrial reception.
[17:48] <Kelos_al-Hazar> (Locally, I was paying close to $2 a channel,
and that was ridiculous.
[17:48] <Wrengl> yes friday is strange
[17:48] <Wrengl> and so is stranger in a strange land, although it is
decades since i read that
[17:48] <the_Bee> I've been reading Nancy Kress's books lately
[17:48] <KK> Actually, satellite is even better.
[17:49] <Wrengl> we like cable
[17:49] <Kelos_al-Hazar> "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is good,
too...and the source of "TANSTAAFL" LOL
[17:49] <jemler> I've been reading Jeffrey Deaver. Great crime stories.
[17:49] <the_Bee> my building doesn't allow satellites--nothing on the
roof or outside walls
[17:49] <Kelos_al-Hazar> (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch)
[17:49] <Wrengl> i am waiting to get the new sneaky pie brown mystery
[17:49] <the_Bee> I love those!
[17:50] <Wrengl> me two
[17:50] <Wrengl> i also like the susan connant dog lover mysteries
[17:50] <ambush> oh, i havent gotten much written with my fanfic
yet...but i'm getting close to the first three or four pages being done
[17:50] <jemler> me almost three
[17:50] <KK> Look for a quirky little novel called Kitty and the
Midnight Hour, about a radio talk-show host who gets call-ins from
supernatural creatures and is, herself, a werewolf. It's really
clever.
[17:50] <Wrengl> she knows her dog show/performance culture
[17:50] <Mistyck> very cool, ambush
[17:50] <Wrengl> i will
[17:51] <ambush> neko says 'hi' kk
[17:51] <Kelos_al-Hazar> The only disadvantage to satellite is that if
electrical properties in the air are peaky (common in Alabama and
Florida) you get lousy signal strength. Cable-run length makes a huge
difference, too.
[17:51] <KK> Give Neko a scritch for me.
[17:51] <Wrengl> i read a midnight louie mystery last year set at a
science fiction convention in las vegas
[17:51] <the_Bee> Rita may Brown has another series involving hunting,
horses and hounds--Sister Jane Arnold
[17:51] <ambush> he just looked up at the screen, pawed my hand, and
meowed...
[17:51] <ambush> lol
[17:51] <Mistyck> heehee
[17:51] <Mistyck> smart kitty :)
[17:51] <Wrengl> i don't need to start any more series
[17:52] <Wrengl> i have a biography of stonewall jackson to finish
[17:52] <Wrengl> then one of te lawrence to finish
[17:52] <the_Bee> I read a Midnight Louie parody of the Chthulhu
stories
[17:52] * Kelos_al-Hazar is still soldiering along on writing his
(now-two volume) novel...
[17:52] <Wrengl> then fiery cross which i've been reading for a couple
of years or more
[17:52] <ambush> well, he's whining about something...probably my
choice of tv station
[17:52] <Mistyck> what are you watching?
[17:52] <Wrengl> probably
[17:53] <ambush> rush hour 2
[17:53] <Wrengl> have you fed him, ambush?
[17:53] <KK> Well, it's just been changing of the cats in my lap, and
Sasha is telling me that it's bedtime--which sound sliske a good idea,
since I spent about 3 hours on my hands and knees today, staining the
ends of the stair treads.
[17:53] <slobbit> how the heck does one pronounce "Chthulhu"?
[17:53] <Wrengl> that could be the problem, you know
[17:53] <KK> cu-thu-lu.
[17:53] <Mistyck> ahh..well, he probably doesn't like the movie then
[17:53] * Kelos_al-Hazar needs to read "Fiery Cross" and the new
book...
[17:53] <ambush> yes, i've fed him
[17:53] <slobbit> thanks, KK
[17:53] <ambush> lol
[17:53] <Mistyck> take care Katherine and thanks for stopping by.
[17:53] <slobbit> and have a good night, KK
[17:53] <Mistyck> Have a great week.
[17:54] <Wrengl> probably not going to read the next, not sure,
although i have heard it said it is better
[17:54] <the_Bee> nighters, Katherine
[17:54] <Tika> niters, happy staining :)
[17:54] <Wrengl> night katherine
[17:54] <Wrengl> good to see you
[17:54] <jemler> gnight kk
[17:54] <ambush> cyas kk
[17:54] <KK> Take care--and watch the Ice Dancing finals tomorrow from
the Olympics. Tonight, nearly everyone fell down. It was amazing,
though there were some good programs.
[17:54] <Mistyck> yep
[17:54] <RainbowDragon> Thanks for stopping by, KK
[17:54] <jemler> i1 still don't know how they get ice to dance
[17:55] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Heh, Ms. Gabaldon might be able to give me a
few warnings about how much 1200+ pages costs to duplicate at Kinkos'!
[17:55] <the_Bee> lol
[17:55] <Mistyck> lol Jemler
[17:55] <RainbowDragon> KK, please say a prayer for marnin
[17:55] * KK steps onto her Portal, waves goodnight, and disappears in
a shower of green sparkles.
[17:55] <Wrengl> yes indeed
[17:56] <Wrengl> have a good week katherine
[17:56] <KK> Prayers for all who need them! Nighters.
[17:56] * KK Quit
