Oh no lackaupdates! I saw The Hunger Games. It was pretty good. Faithful to the book, although some details that were missing probably should have been in there. But it really captured the dramatic feel of the book.

I've also been playing Tribes: Ascend. Pretty fun! Never played any Tribes games before it. It's a blast.

Here's a relatively small update for such a long wait!

> "I'm going to fill it with water and throw it at Lenny."

For a balloon fight, wanna help, just hit Lenny, he's wearing a computer head mask

"Seriously?" Dorothy says, "That's what you plan on doing? Ted, I don't even let the children at my parties do that. I just give them water guns." She gets a bit closer before continuing.

Good golly Dorothy calm yourself, we are asking for balloons not blood.

"You don't seem to get it. I am a professional balloon sculptor, and I mean that quite literally. I get paid to do this. What you see as a mere toy is my entire life. Do you know how long I've spent studying the art of balloon sculpting? I started studying it when I was 5. I am 38 years old. And because I get paid for this, every balloon I craft and every party I organize is another meal on the table for my daughter. Not only that, but the work is inconsistent and freelance, so in order to have a steady pay, I have a second job here."



"So if you still think you're getting balloons from me just so you can fill them up with water and throw them around, you can go



"ffffffff"



"ffffFFFFFFFFFFF"



"--Fuck yourself."

>Because the fate of the world is at stake.

"Oh yes, a very likely story. I'm not giving you any balloons, Ted. Just get out of here."

Looks like she's not believing it. She apparently has water guns too, though at this point it's unlikely she's willing to give those up too. What do you do now?
