Oui?

Notre Dame? University of Notre Dame? One of the most prestigious universities in the world? Also play football. Championship women and men's basketball too. Just sayin. Went to the title game a few years ago? No? There should be more people who love both nerds things and also sports.

I've long since discovered that if I feign complete ignorance of sports, people stop asking me who my favorite football player is.

Fighting Irish, right? You don't get to grow up with my family and not have some knowledge. I just prefer Starcraft because I actually understand what's going on. 

EDIT: I have used zah Google. Fighting Irish.

I would have gone for Singing Quasimodos myself.

And how can anyone forget about it being the home of Touchdown Jesus?

Yay! I have found my people!

In any case I also have prepared for Tuesday. I'm off at 2pm and will have trouble staying offline that morning but I'll have to, for spoiler reasons. I have a hoard of snacks and I bought wine.

Nothing wrong with wine at 2pm. Dont judge me.

I love sports.....except football. And a few others, like golf, or NASCAR.

 

 

I purchased junk food specially for the occasion. I don't often bring it into the house, but final DLC is as good an excuse as any.

 

The type of junk food is the real puzzler. Pecan pie M&M candies? Who comes up with this? And yet, I bought it. To be opened Tuesday. At least if I end up teary-eyed I can blame the stomach ache I'm likely to have.

 

Oh good, those are finally out. My mom made a request for two bags. She's disabled and doesn't get out as much these days so she places orders with me.

 

I'm kind of planning to have a supply of caffeine and some easy to make foods so I can pull at things on Tuesday.

[Delphine]

French priests play football? 

 

Same reaction here.

Well, that, and I also have a mental picture of the actual Notre-Dame cathedral wearing a sport shirt and playing football. The real kind of football.

Because "American football" is the last thing to pop in my head when I read the word football.

I have 5 jars of Nutella...I'm ready for Tuesday. :-P

Hellspiral with me. Why did I decide to play this song?

 

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

-slides in and collapses- the hissing wastes will be the death of me.

At least I got my favorite banters with Solas,Cole and Vivienne

Tuesday will be crockpot dinner night. I figure I'll have time in the morning to throw it together, and if people are hungry they can have a go at it. I'll be too busy stuffing candy in my face and playing Trespasser.

 

Funny, it's getting to feel like right before DAI launched. Junk food, drinks, and "figure out dinner for yourself" was the law of the land back in November.

Someone please write a fic about Solas and Lavellen arguing over how to assemble IKEA furniture, please.

 

This is all I've got:

 

Spoiler

Lavellan: Solas, what’s this giant box next to your desk in the rotunda?

Solas: It is an eluvian I ordered from IKEA.

Lavellan: What?! We have one already! I never authorized the budget for this!

Solas: I purchased it with my share of the loot. It is for personal use.

Lavellan: What do you need to use an eluvian for?

Solas: I… It could be used to study the fade and spirits. Will you help me, assemble it, vhenan?

Lavellan: Sure, what do we do?

Solas: It is simple, we put the glass in the frame, I charge it with magic, and then I will set the target location and password.

Lavellan: It can’t just be that easy, right? It never just works.

Solas: Have faith, vhenan!

Lavellan: In IKEA? Let me see the manual!

Solas: Why would you need a manual when there are only 20 parts?

Lavellan: *Ignores him and looks at manual.* ...Aaand the manual was translated from ancient Elvhen by Gisharel. It says there are 25 parts.

Solas: *Scoffs.* Probably an error in the translation.

Lavellan: There a section in ancient Tevinter… No, can’t make out anything. Maybe we could just look at the pictures?

Solas: *Spreads manual on his desk and leans over it, staring intensely.* I believe the shiny silverite screws with rounded caps are screws A and the dark obsidian screws with flat caps are screws B… Fenedhis lasa! There are 25 parts!

Lavellan: *Leans over manual as well, and their foreheads almost touch.* I think we’re missing the small rubber washers. Maybe you should send it back.

Solas: I… I am afraid I lost the washers.

Lavellan: What?! How?

Solas: They were in small pouch that did not seem important. I tossed them aside and Leliana’s nugs ate them.

Lavellan: Well, OK, I never figured out the point of rubber washers anyway. Let’s just try to put it together without them.

**Several hours later**

Lavellan: Well, it looks… together. Are you sure the silverite screws were screws A?

Solas: It was simply an educated guess.

Lavellan: Can we test it.

Solas: Let me activate it… Fen’Harel enansal.

**Bright light radiates from the eluvian surface and a silhouette appears. Sandal walks out and looks around.**

Sandal: Enchantment?

Solas: I think the silverite screws were screws B.

 

Ugh, not great. I should go back to working on my Tresspasser feels dump anyway...

[Mims]

I love ikea. And also hate them for their absolutely insane shipping fees. When will they come into the modern era? 

 

So, we're almost down to two days left! I've almost got all my business wrapped up, really looking forward to just ODing on dragon age come Tuesday. 

[drosophila]

I have 5 jars of Nutella...I'm ready for Tuesday. :-P

 

I bought Nutella too! Specifically for the occasion.

 

College football: Go Spiders!

[Jewlie Ghoulie]

I know that feeling. x_x

I just spent 40 minutes running up and down the Storm Coast with Solas and Cole, waiting for the latter to acknowledge our breakup so I could move onto the final battle.

I anticipate that my "ideal playthrough" will have a lot of running around to get my favorite banters in. (I'm still waiting on Solas and Blackwall to have that talk about frilly little cakes.)

I admire your commitment. I'll wak around for five minutes trying to trigger a certain banter and quit lol

[Uirebhiril]

Eluvians being cheap and available from IKEA would explain how they got to be so numerous in the DLC...

[MoonDrummer]

Yay college football! No? Anyone? Go Notre Dame!

Pfft, who cares about that type of football when Northern Ireland just beat the Faroe Islands 3-1 and is now top of group F.

I think the nugs ate my likes too.

 

I've since switched from a Phil Collins/Eagles playlist to Tegan and Sara, beginning with Everything is Awesome, because let's change this a little.

I need to pick up some Nutella....that or grab some of the Nutella stuffed doughnuts they have at TIm Horton's for Tuesday.

 

That or both. I may need to dip said doughnuts into the Nutella.

Is group F... A good thing, though? Jeez, I know nothing about real football as well.

Not that I should have to anyway. After all, it's football we're talking about.

I'm definitely leaning rice cooker this time. I do live alone so I only need look after myself, but having stuff that I can pull together quickly is the goal.

[Caddius]

I will concede that my country's bizarre insistence that a game where the ball is mostly handled with your hands should be called football is a little confusing.

Here in Oklahoma we care so much that there is a hell of a lot of merchandise based on the concept of House Divided. It's ridiculous sometimes...

 

Here is a wreath!

 

 

A floor mat!

 

 

An entire desk of stuff!

 

Spoiler

 

And copiers and printers...

 

 

There are even floor mats for those brave enough to marry a Texan!

I worked with half of a married couple like this. Ohio though.

My husband is from Ohio and so our house is Ohio State and Notre Dame. We don't even agree on the pro team, I like the Colts and Broncos, and he's a Browns/Seattle fan.
