((I do realize the above post was sarcastic, but on that note...))

I'm going to put this game on my Christmas list, so I'll be passing on the bundle set... not that I really care... maybe if they included a nunchuck that matched the color of the remote I MIGHT have considered it.

I bought Con Air on DVD, so this levels up my Homestuck fanatism.

I've never actually played a watch-a-movie drinking game. Once I'm back on the drunk sauce, I need to make one and play it.

Maybe I'll polish up my Game of Thrones one and do that.

So I impulse bought a lock-blade pocket knife in a little back-country middle-of-nowhere store, but two of the hex socket screws came loose and fell out of a tiny hole in my pocket, I presume. The rest are a ted bit loose, too. I emailed a watch repair shop, because they were the only place I could think of that would have similar screws.

The knife looks very cool,nothing fancy but I feel it suits me. I hope I can find replacement parts for all of the parts that hold it together. Here, I'll put up pics in an edit.

<3 Knives.

This one is mine.

Actually, it is an athame, so it cannot be used as a tool. The fact that there is white mingled in with the black handle, represents my lack of supernatural belief in spells and curses.

Edit - Non-dumb image host.

The knife is held together by 6 screws, three on each side. They thread into a little silver cylinder that goes in between the two halves. The middle one is missing, and is twist-tied back together. :/



Hey, neat. if it's double-sided it's a dagger, but I suppose you know that. It suits you, though.

[Twat]

Yes. Thank you. I am aware that athames are daggers. :)

Ooo~. So slick. Shame you live so far away. I am currently working as a jeweler, so I would otherwise be more than happy to fix that for you.

[zamisk]

I'm coming out to Manitoba this winter, if I don't get it fixed by then I'll let you know. The guys here will probably charge a ton, anyway.

[Twat]

Unfortunately I will be crammed into an office during the winter. :[

[zamisk]

Offices suck. Although, they're worse in summer when you know going outside is actually pleasant.

[Twat]

Summer weather is terrible. Fall and winter, on the other hand, is very relaxing. It is nice to be able to just step outside and take in a breath of cold air. Very revitalizing. Only at this time of year can I sit with my back against a tree, while a friends leans on me and listens in on the same headset, as we watch the colours of autumn grace the wind. If it was during the summer, we would be harassed by bugs and if it was during the winter, I would be sitting outside by myself.

I cannot think of a time when I would consider summer "pleasant". But that is just me.

[zamisk]

Fall is my favorite season, bar none. I find summer evenings the second best, if the bugs aren't bad like this year.

Edit: for anyone who cares, my other knives:


This new one just drew me to it, though, I really hope I can get it to stay together.

You could try and see if a torx screwdriver fits the screws on your knife. Torx screws are pretty common in notebooks and harddrives and such.
