(10:03:10 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Hi again
(10:03:18 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Hey. Again.
(10:03:33 PM) ColDougMcKnight: So, how long do you want to wait?
(10:03:44 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: 15-20?
(10:03:52 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Fair enough.
(10:05:00 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Have you noticed the new Site Archives feature?
(10:05:43 PM) DrRoxanneCarre [Mibbit@dm-28490.tukw.qwest.net] entered the room.
(10:06:00 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Hellos!
(10:06:23 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Hiya Doc
(10:06:41 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I was just asking the colonel here if he's noticed the new Site Archives feature, so I'll ask you the same!
(10:06:59 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: What you want me to read?
(10:07:19 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Just the fact that it's all easily accessible and full text searchable now.
(10:07:30 PM) ColDougMcKnight: In answer to your question, I had not noticed this.
(10:07:38 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Dig it! I'm a bit proud. :)
(10:08:31 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Wow, impressive. "Alarm clock" did, in fact, lead me right to my very first Atlantis log.
(10:08:47 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: ::: goes to search that ::
(10:10:05 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I see why that's a memorable line!
(10:10:19 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Yeah, stuck with me somehow.
(10:10:53 PM) ColDougMcKnight: You know, in that I am very grateful for Cervantes. I can look back on an old Atlantis log and see places where I'd probably choose to write it differently now.
(10:11:07 PM) ColDougMcKnight: But some of my earliest Cervantes stuff just made me cringe later on.
(10:11:30 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I still have the very first log I wrote for any sim ever, somewhere. It was awful.
(10:11:38 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: >.>
(10:11:43 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: <.<
(10:11:57 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: *cough*
(10:12:18 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Although that plot was fun...right up until Rachel decided to torture the shit out of my character, then go all Picard on the computer that did it.
(10:12:26 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Hahaha!
(10:12:43 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Ugh, that ship.
(10:13:25 PM) ColDougMcKnight: I still miss some of the guys I wrote with then. Like Cory. I wonder how he's doing occasionally.
(10:15:43 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: All I know is that he and Megs split up, but Gem still talks to him I think.
(10:16:15 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Text from Liz, she'll be 15 minutes or so
(10:16:27 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Okay.
(10:16:40 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I have time to hunt down my nasal spray then.
(10:16:54 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Huge storm coming in, just ask my head.
(10:18:48 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: My ex-BIL threw an ice cube at my butt (how he missed THAT, I'll never figure out) and hit my nose. Ever since, my head can tell the weather.
(10:19:03 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Right.
(10:20:01 PM) ColDougMcKnight: That's...pretty shitty aim, I must admit.
(10:22:28 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Yeah, he was calling himself a hunting guide. I mentioned he had bad aim
(10:26:34 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Perhaps he could help with the mindset!

(10:31:28 PM) ColDougMcKnight: I really AM liking this text search feature. I'm remembering that I was actually proud of some of these logs it's leading me to.
(10:31:41 PM) CdrHarper: I'm glad!
(10:32:05 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: It'll certainly help with finding the obscure things you have a tiny bit of memory of.
(10:33:01 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I have a tiny memory.

(10:40:29 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Hi! Nope.
(10:40:53 PM) CdrTKirr: I'm thirty in like... an hour and 20
(10:41:01 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: We started reminicing (sp)
(10:41:11 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Oh no fair, you said it was today.
(10:41:11 PM) CdrTKirr: Ah, well at least you weren't bored.
(10:41:23 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I remember 30...mostly.
(10:41:25 PM) CdrTKirr: Pfft well it's TONIGHT, doesn't that count
(10:41:36 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Before or after midnight, hmmm?
(10:41:45 PM) CdrTKirr: 12:03 or something...
(10:42:00 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Oh, you couldn't just show up right on the hour, nooooo.
(10:42:05 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Grats on the big 30...I liked my 30s.
(10:42:10 PM) CdrTKirr: Or I think 12:01.. and my bro was 12:05
(10:42:27 PM) CdrTKirr: Heh, thanks. Maybe I'll finally grow up.
(10:42:35 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Naw
(10:42:43 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I'm over 50 and still havent grown up.
(10:42:46 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Didn't work for me :(
(10:43:04 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Yes, say it now....
(10:43:10 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: "Carre is old!"
(10:43:28 PM) CdrTKirr: Remember who you're talking to...
(10:43:37 PM) CdrTKirr: We've known you for a while now. =P
(10:43:46 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Oh right, you knew that.
(10:43:48 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: lol
(10:43:53 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Oh yes.
(10:43:58 PM) CdrTKirr: Ugh I'm so stuffed... I had something called Captain Jack's Buried Treasure.
(10:44:11 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Better give it back to him.
(10:44:20 PM) CdrTKirr: He wouldn't want it. =X
(10:44:39 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: So not touching that...
(10:44:56 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I wouldn't either!
(10:45:42 PM) CdrTKirr: lol
(10:46:00 PM) CdrTKirr: But no, it was like... an ice cream cake with fudge, Oreo, etc
(10:46:06 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Ohhhhhhh.
(10:46:34 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Geez, I had salad for dinner and had to fight through the chocolate cake to get the salad dressing.
(10:46:54 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I was pretty proud of myself.
(10:47:13 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: I had three steaks.
(10:47:32 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Well, strip steaks.
(10:48:07 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: So you ate nekkid steaks?
(10:48:24 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Of course, they wouldn't be really edible with clothes on.
(10:48:38 PM) CdrTKirr: Stringy.
(10:48:50 PM) CdrTKirr: Tough on the outside.
(10:49:09 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I like my dressed with some 'shrooms.
(10:49:22 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: No fungus allowed.
(10:49:48 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: *drool*
(10:50:38 PM) ColDougMcKnight: I gave up chocolate for Lent.
(10:50:49 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: /sympathy
(10:50:59 PM) CdrTKirr: Lol we were just talking about that at dinner.
(10:52:23 PM) VAdmBlackthorne: Alright, let's get going.

(11:09:18 PM) LtKuari: :: grunts noncommitally ::
(11:09:44 PM) CdrHarper: Maybe she drank enough last night.
(11:09:58 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: I hear they have a chocolate drink called a ski lift, I dont think shes tried one of those yet.

(11:22:06 PM) LtKuari: A what therapist?
(11:22:47 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: They rub all your muscles, helps them relax. Sometimes they even walk on them to get them to loosen up.
(11:23:09 PM) ColDougMcKnight: RLG> Um...Lieutenant Polk, Ronkonkoma. And you?
(11:23:25 PM) LtKuari: :: brightens :: Ooh I know what you're talking about! It didn't translate.
(11:24:05 PM) LtKuari: I am loosening though... I've just not been moving for, um, hours.

(11:34:35 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: Grins :: Because they don't let you in without a ticket. I'm assuming they have movies on Risa, right?
(11:35:19 PM) CdrHarper: :: looks confused ::: Movies? Well yes we have movies, of course, but this - all of this! - is just to show a movie?!
(11:36:44 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: notices a random guy in line gaping at her friend, and glares at him ::
(11:37:16 PM) ColDougMcKnight: Oh, not just a movie. The movie experience. It's a bona fide theater. And I mean a theater like they had when movies were like as not in sepia tone, and had a B feature. Real old school stuff. You can find places like this back home, but to find out out here...hell of a thing.
(11:37:48 PM) ColDougMcKnight: I even hear they employ a couple techs to jazz up Federation news service reports in the style of an old news reel!
(11:38:13 PM) ColDougMcKnight: (one out here)
(11:38:30 PM) CdrHarper: Wow, how about that.
(11:39:19 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: Ladies, we gonna watch a movie or shop and drink?
(11:39:44 PM) ColDougMcKnight: You should check it out, if not today, then at least before we leave the station. You have to get here early if you care about having your pick of seats...but the place is also pretty darn big.
(11:39:45 PM) CdrHarper: :: shrugs :: What do you two want to do?
(11:40:10 PM) CdrHarper: Well that Ferengi was selling front row seats, yes?
(11:40:37 PM) DrRoxanneCarre: :: laughs :: Whatever he was selling it wasnt what he said it was.
(11:40:47 PM) ColDougMcKnight: :: Tries to hold back a laugh :: I guess he did say that.
(11:41:11 PM) CdrHarper: Well, of course, never trust a Ferengi.
