WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING NOW? (Ongoing Participation Thread)

Saw that one you're watching awhile ago...
It's ok.

 

I'm watching some website where people are talking about what they are watching.

AT Escher

 

watching a diver in the straights of Melacca try and move iron ore ...

 

Watching 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey', will watch something 'educational' tomorrow. Tonight is for fantasy.

BTW, is there anyone else that finds armor and swords irresistible, or is it just me?

 

That looks good. I think I'll take a look at that. Liked the Dragonlance stuff, didn't care for the other. Got hooked on Tolkien at 8, and then went into other stuff. Tolkien's still my first love as far as that goes, but I'll watch nearly ANYTHING with a sword fight in it. And there's something about a guy in armor ...
When the Scorpion King came out, my boss and her husband went to see it. He didn't like it. I told him 'look, it's got nearly naked men, naked women, swords, and lots of mayhem. It's a well-rounded hormonal experience for everybody.' I guess that sums it up for me.
I think I'll pull that out for tonight ...

 

I've been watching The Following on FOX; I don't watch much TV, but for some reason, that show has me hooked. Until Dexter starts again in June, that and baseball will be it. I use my limited free time to listen to Stefan Molyneux's podcasts and watch YouTube vids from Gregory Mannarino, TheLordHumungus and StormCloudsGathering.

 

I've made "King's Mail" and "Dragons mail" in the past.... also a wisby coat of plates and associated bits and pieces... (gauntlets, Gorgets, vambraces, etc...)

 

Flirt.

 

I have done 4in1, chain, scale mail, breast plates, three helmets with lobster tails. gauntlets, practice swords, and shields, practice armor, ringmail, briggandine, (spelling/ two layers leather with steel plates between.) Palm Flowers for the women in stainless wire, (my battle shield will stop a .38 with ease. It has been shot twice). @Witch Doctor 01, if you have done "King's mail (riveted), I'm impressed. that takes forever. I have a ring spinning rig set up, but clipping is always the hardest part. Wish I had time for that stuff, anymore. I lost my best stuff, due to a break-in at my storage unit (they hit everyone). I hear some of my stuff was being worn in a campus bar.

 

I did my mail while in rehab/physical therapy... recovering from a neck injury.. it helps pass the time and improves your coordination... I'ts not riveted but still looks nice... I used a dremel tool with a cutting dicki to clip the wire...

LOL

 

I like their TWINS series best. Test of Twins, War of Twins, fergit the 3rd book in that series.

 

I'm watching the financial world implode. It's the most riveting reality spectacle I have ever witnessed.

Cypriot are going to wake up in a few hours or so and find out they are broke.
BitCoin breaking the 1 billion dollar market cap.
Brazil and China doing a 300MM 30B /year dollar financial swap to sell good outside of the USD zone.
Texas repatriating it's gold, and Germany is commenting on it (they agreed to 7yr withdrawl) and are not happy.
UK experiencing a contracting of their economy (revised downwards to -3%)

w00t! This is fun! Yes, I'm sharpening the sticks and pikes for the fence as we speak.

 

Hey, Kell, I don't do riveted, but I do have the time to make chain in the evenings (it keeps the fingers limber for other things ) If you're hot to replace any of it, we could talk.

 

Tonight's entertainment will be the last of Season 12 of Law & Order (hubby and I talk about how we would have done it), and then maybe something from the audio or DVD library. BTW, is anyone interested in some DVDs for the cost of shipping? I've got extras of some stuff. I'll post it on the marketplace over the weekend.

 

What I lost, was all plate, not chain, but thanks for the thought. At one time, I thought of selling preformed rings as " coat and coif kits" (some assembly required)
