What makes your day? - Page 6

*blindturtle02* · 02-09-2014, 05:18 PM

Hey Duckie, just now getting into A Tale of Two Clans. I absolutely love Gargoyles, so I had to read it. I see there's a femalenamed Orlene traveling with them and am actually wondering if I should have read the one before this. (Sigh)As I write this, I only finished chapter one and it's 5 p.m. and time to make tacos. I think I'll go back and read the one with Orlene's debut after Clans. I see the technodrome is mentioned regarding the previous story. Oo! Anyway, Clans is great from what I've read. Hadn't started reading everyone's work until fairly recently and I've been reading a tun lately. So I've got allot to catch up on.

Bubbly, I see you've also written something new! Oh cool! I've been getting Fishface withdrawals lately, so great to see he's a part of this one. Love the fact that you delved into what things were like for him as a human EG family and all. Holy crispy crap! Just discovered the uh identity of the character you introduced here. I seriously hope this is the way Nick's writers go. Oh nice!

I charish my weekends because lately, I've used them to basically devour fanfic. Zarius, if you're reading this, just finished Dreggs and am getting ready to start Radical Portrait. Always a pleasure checking back in on the FW turtles. Your stories feel exactly like the OT cartoon.

Ah, looks like Amityville Rock also did a Gargoyles fanfic and will have to start that too as I love these two teams of heroes quite allot. Leo, did you ever put your fic up? And btw dude, glad things are going well for you on the wrestling front! Reading all these stories side by side is similar to the old Fox Kids Saturday morning lineup, come to think of it. This stuff has certainly made my past 3 or so weekends, guys. Need to post this and get to cooking, however. Having to eat tacos while watching Walking Dead later certainly won't make my day! Too much guts, thanks. Better to eat early lol. Nuts, already 5:17? Time flies when you're having fun.

Lol, yeah, it makes my day, too! I read the first few reviews on my new chapter earlier, and they really made me smile after spending a day dealing with my stepdad. Somehow I got hooked into cleaning his boat for him- paid, of course- but the only reason I even agreed to do it was so I could hang with my mom and spend time with my kittehs. And watch the new TMNT ep, of course, LOL!

I hear you, BT. Glad to see you're enjoying that one so far. I'm currently working on the next chapter of the Clans tale, which will bring in both Xanatos and the Pack, as well as dealing with Shredder, Hun, and Rocksteady and Bebop. And yeah, it helps if you know a little about what's been going on in the other tale- she's their new "clan-sister" adopted by Splinter, who has ties to both April as a protégé, AND Shredder, due to something in her past. This AU is sort of a mix of everything I've ever loved about TMNT, particularly the OT and movies, since that's what I grew up with and that's all we had when I originally wrote the first tale. (In 1990, no less! It's been HEAVILY modified, polished edited, and expanded, obviously....)

*blindturtle02* · 02-10-2014, 03:45 AM

Yesterday's TMNT made my day! Allergies are not making my night, however. Hence my jotting this down. Even though TMNT's on Sundays now, I still feel like Ciro and crew have made the weekends fun again. For some reason, I'm getting the new eps from amazon instant video the day they air now. Also cool! During the first 7 eps of this season, you'd have to wait a few days before they were added to your video library. For the past two weeks anyway, I've gotten e-mails around midnight saying that the show has automatically been purchased and ready to go. Of course I watch it on TV first because I like to contribute to ratings in some infinitesimal way. But certainly another day maker right there. I just love the concept of a TV pass and 35 eps of this show-- as I write this, to take with me wherever I go. Just my desk where I do the coffee thing every morning. That's about it really.

Saw two episodes of Walking Dead last evening as well. We didn't get to see the midseason finale so we watched that along with the new episode. Great stuff.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-10-2014, 08:37 AM

Yep, new TMNT eps make my day, too, for sure even though I feel it's hard to get used to them being on Sundays. Still, I'm able to see them and that's what matters.

lol Yeah, Becca was saying how the Sunday airing makes her feel as if her weekends have been shortened. But we haven't missed one yet. She felt a little sorry for April Derp not actually getting hugs, it being close to Valentine's day and all. haha! I did too really, but who's to say there aren't any more surprises in that reject bin? Ciro and crew should dig another one up. I just hope the next one won't want kisses!

Rikirk · 02-10-2014, 12:07 PM

Anything that makes me laugh makes my day. They say laughter is the best medicine...it is so true.

Case in point...

*BubblyShell22* · 02-10-2014, 04:28 PM

Yep, that's so true about laughter being the best medicine. That's why I love watching TMNT and reading funny fan fics.

*blindturtle02* · 02-10-2014, 08:32 PM

You said it, Rikirk and Bubbly. Laughter is essential to a good day in my book. I was on rifftrax.com and just purchased Frankenstein Island, which shall certainly contribute to my amount of laughter this week. TMNT also does the job nicely.

We're watching the 90's X-Men animated series right now which is also one of the highlights of our evenings lately. Fiance says we should also read the comics some day, which I'm definitely up for. Maybe I could convince her to start the TMNT Mirage run. That'd really make my day if we started reading comics together. There's very little time with school and all. But the best thing about being a teacher is that you get summer vacation along with the students! We could go through a tun of comics within two months, I bet.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-11-2014, 12:32 PM

Yeah, you could, BT.

Spending time with my mom makes my day. We had to take my sis to a doctor's appointment but didn't stay because she said her hubby was going to pick her up. So Mom and I went to Menard's so she could get a bird feeder and some bird food then went to IHOP to eat breakfast. Their chocolate chip pancakes make my day, too.

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 02-11-2014, 01:09 PM

Ihop always makes my day! Yummm!

*blindturtle02* · 02-11-2014, 01:34 PM

Ooo, yeah Ihop! Haven't eaten there in a looong time since we're trying to save every bit in order to go to Disney World for our honeymoon but that sounds fantastic Bubbly. Always wanted to try there chocolate chip pancakes. They've got a great steak too. I'm probably the only guy who goes to Ihop and orders a steak and fries though. Fiance likes to get chicken strips and waffles, so I guess we're both weird. haha Funny thing is, I had them both at the same time a few years ago when we were there and they certainly do rock together. Anyone tried that berry splash drink? It's amazing. I only wish they had those crispy tater tot-like hashbrowns. Their's are rather... rubbery, if that makes sense. I think they'd go great in a breakfast casserole, however.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-11-2014, 04:47 PM

I've only ever eaten at IHOP for breakfast, but it would be cool to eat there for lunch, too. Maybe one of these days we can do that.

*blindturtle02* · 02-13-2014, 12:39 PM

Well that pretty much makes my whole friggin week right there. I've been waiting to see the remaining eps of this show for some time now and glad to finally get confirmation of where it's going to end up. I am a little disappointed that Disney isn't giving us a straight to DVD season set though. I mean, c'mon people. It's been off the air for a year now with plenty of time for a boxset to be in the works. I'm happy to be able to stream it, but I'd be even more pleased to own it. Hope it becomes available for me to buy on my amazon instant vid. I'd just go ahead and nab it if that happened. Sounds like Netflix is acquiring other Disney programs too. I read something about shows from Walt Disney Studios. Maybe Gargoyles? I'd also like to own the first 3 seasons of that show. Streaming it would be nice. Yeah, they have it on youtube, but several users are constantly asked to take those shows down so I don't bother watching anything there aside from the latest Marvel film trailers and the occasional videogame trailer that I fancy.

So today's been a great day. Looking forward to this 3 day weekend. I've had a tun of allergies this week and I don't plan on doing anything save watching TMNT and Walking Dead. Also got to chat with my dad this morning which is always a blast. He cracks me up because he sounds so much like that Sam Eliot guy. It's spooky, actually. I'll hear some truck commercial on TV with Eliot doing the voiceover and think,"Dad?" It's fun to make him say Ghost Rider lines. He says my sister's doing wellin Arkansas which also made my day. It's also warming up here, so that's another plus.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-13-2014, 04:15 PM

Glad to hear things are going well, BT. That's awesome.

*blindturtle02* · 02-16-2014, 10:45 AM

Playing Injustice: GAU. Love this game. Awesome voice talent, great clash dialogue, brutal stage transition sceens. New episode of TMNT also made my day.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-16-2014, 04:10 PM

Seeing the latest TMNT episode twice made my day today. I totally loved it and thought it was very well done.

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 02-17-2014, 12:10 AM

Finished playing Tomb Raider (for Xbox One- repurchased it because I sold my 360 copy after first playing it and then missed the game) for the second time and got my gamer score finally higher than my husbands! Yay! That's quite an accomplishment, he's had Xbox live for over 10 years and I have only had it for a little over 2 (I just played on his before that...) so I was proud of myself. Now he's going through my games that I've finished and trying to catch up, lol. I love our friendly competitions.

I'm also really stoked that I could order a lot of product for reselling at the flea market with part of our tax return. I've gotten some of it in already, but still waiting for the majority of it. Happy, happy, happy!!! Plus my husband will have a week off of work starting Thursday...... aaaaaand Friday evening I will get to meet Kevin Eastman for the first time, so I'm extra happy about that. A really awesome upcoming week!

Although it can be a bit taxing, learning how to play guitar makes my day. My dad got it for me a few days ago and I've been practicing every day. It's hard work but I enjoy it.

That is a lot of fun. I played a bit in junior high and high school. I had played violin for years before that so I got to skip most of the blisters on my fingers, lol. That's got to be the least fun part, lol. Are you playing acoustic or electric?
