Random Raves #39: Life is good

[hobbsyoyo]

My wife was in a wreck but she's not hurt.

@tim - hope you are uninjured.

I joined facebook to publicize my blog and it's shocking how little control you actually have over your preferences and the information that the site forces on you.

Edit: Crap I thought this was the rants page.

The Walking Dead season premiere was phenomenal. Andrew Lincoln's acting was utterly astounding.

 

[Snerk]

What season are they at now? Also what are they up to now? I saw the first 3-4 seasons or so but fell off as I thought things got a little repetitive. Though I did like it.

It was the season 7 premiere, so you're a bit behind! It does fall off a bit somewhere around the part you stopped watching, but season 6 redeemed the show for me and thus far season 7 is continuing that redemption. The stuff being released now is on par if not better than the beginnings of season 1.

Without spoilers: Papa Rick gets very, very humbled. To an inhumane extent. Good news for you if you start rewatching: The gang actually finds, and stays with, a settlement! And they're not crazy! Wooooo! Although that doesn't mean much given what happens.

I took my first ever plane flight today. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

 

[Snerk]

How many snakes and Samuel L Jacksons did you encounter?

 

[Arakhor]

None, I'm glad to say. I did get quite a nice in-flight photo of the sun setting behind the plane wing though.

Snerk, you can't expect them to become The Running Dead, now can you?

 

[warpus]

Welcome back on solid ground

I'd like to see The Flying Dead. Now there's a challenge!

 

[Arakhor]

The Schoenbrunn has some really nice grounds and the weather was nice too.

You're in Vienna?

 

[Arakhor]

I am, yes. I've long wanted to go.

Are you here as well?

 

[The_J]

Nope, but I've been there this summer .
The castle is really nice, and there are some amazing statues in the garden.
And the big museums are awesome .
What are you doing there?

 

[Snerk]

A trip of culture to Vienna. How very bourgeoisie of you Arakhor.

I've been there once. But I was just a kid so I don't remember much of it.

 

[Arakhor]

I came to see a friend and look around the city. I'm expecting to hit the Naturhistorisches and Kunsthistorisches Museums tomorrow.

Then again, as a Habsburg fan, I couldn't not come eventually.

 

[Takhisis]

Nature and Art in one day? Will you have enough time?

 

[Arakhor]

*villainous accent* I vill make time!

 

[The_J]

You might want to check the opening times, think on Thursdays they're open until quite late in the evening.
There's also a combined museum ticket, but I think you need to go to at least 3 museums to make it worth it.
I also found the crown jewels/treasury worth a visit, but also 2h+ if you want to see most of it.

Unrelated to that: Having a tour through the united nations is also quite nice (IMHO).
