The Queue

Nick took this great screenshot for his arachnophobia post yesterday, but forgot to add it to the post so I put in a picture from the Sennarth encounter instead. But this is such a great shot I had to use it somewhere, so here you go, my future kabourophobes. The Crab King awaits in judgment.

Let’s Queue.

It’s funny, sometimes I try to be so nice, especially to the posters who need it, and then sometimes, well. I just can’t help it if I have such good advice, but this column is really popular, kinda like me, so you’ll need to wait.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’ll probably get to answering, but we get like, so many questions, so.

Next Monday I complete my fiftieth trip around the sun. This now makes me eligible to use the local senior center or to join the AARP. I of course will do neither of these things (unless the senior center offers a mountain dulcimer course again); to quote the late great Jimmy Buffett a second time this intro: I’m growing older but not up.

I keep going back and forth as to whether I should consider it a big deal; heck knows society and party stores want me to, but I also know they do so out of glee that I’m “over the hill” — but I like to think I’m still climbing. Still, it’d be weird to let it pass by with no comment or introspection, so I’m just going to motivate myself with League of Legends songs and Dylan Thomas poems.

While I do everything I can to rage against the dying of the light, let’s answer some questions!

While I understand I was gone for two weeks I’m still amazed by the sheer number of events I missed while I was on vacation. I have over 500 unread emails in my marketing/promotional inbox alone, and every single communique from the upcoming school year is in triplicate, as the apps they insist on using also send out an email blast for each message, plus a digest. And that’s before I get into the good stuff I need to interact with. Well, I always was a jump right in kind of girl. Here’s hoping I have enough RAM for the number of chrome tabs I’m about to open.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and hopefully they aren’t caught in the filter as I start deleting stuff (but you get it, right?).

What a wild opening ceremony am I right? I did not have Phantom of the Opera does parkour, or a French metal band accompanied by flamethrowers and headless Marie Antoinettes on my bingo card. As always, go Canada go!

Wait, what do you mean this isn’t the Olympics that we do well in?

While I get to the bottom of this, it’s time for — The Queue!

Oh, are we counting here? Then we’re going to count the best way there is to count: with pinball.

Owls. You can’t trust them.

Did anything major happen last night?

No?

I mean, I feel like something big was supposed to happen, but it kept getting postponed. Did I dream it?

Either way, let’s take a break from all those silly Warband things: it’s time to Queue, The Queue! How many questions can I cram into this warband-themed Queue? Twelve?!

I went on vacation last Saturday, and we’ve had a great time, going to Niagara Falls on a train, hitting up with Adirondacks for some outdoorsy fun. We even went swimming in a waterfall! I’ve been largely out of the loop in terms of information, but I’m sure there’s not a lot of stuff that happened I need to catch up on.

This is The Queue, our daily column where you ask us the questions and we’re going to take a great big swig of water before we look at them.

The exhibition is in town and I’ve been there so much already, and there are so many more days of fun ahead of me! I haven’t been on the rides yet, but I’ve proven my iron stomach holds up by eating a pulled pork grilled cheese made with a Long John donut. Let me tell you, it was actually an interesting taste combination, and I would have it again. The rest of the fair food is pretty standard deep-fried and pickle-infused creations, but I’m still considering getting a burger served between two slices of watermelon.

The music lineup has been the true standout so far though. I’ve seen two great shows already with my best lady, and there are so many more! Tonight we’re going to go see Metric!

While I see if I can remember all of the lyrics to Black Sheep, it’s time for — The Queue!
