Busy week

[xp_daytripper]

So, besides getting back into the school stuff regularly, I learned a few things this week:

Meggan 'eats' electricity. No, I don't understand it either. Hopefully between Moira's tests and the language-dump Nate gave her, we'll get an explanation. Just... watch her round power outlets. It doesn't hurt her, but I'd rather save on the panic.

Parallel parking isn't as hard as I thought it was. Tho' there's a few squashed traffic cones that might say otherwise.

Apparently I wasn't that far off with the way I was teaching Meggan numbers. Go me. And speaking of which... Doug? Still up for helping her out with things? She's been asking me what the computers are and I figure she'd best get it from the expert. ;)

It's not a magic wand, it's a wych. *grins*

they do?

smudging - at least the kind I know - only uses some fairly basic ingrediants that can be found relatively easily. it ain't changed much over the years.

you don't know where I could getloose tobacco do you? cigarettes aren't pure.

[xp_daytripper]

*nods* Yeah. They use eucalyptus leaves to do something similar. And there's this pointing the bone curse that's just whacked. And yay for basic ingredients - I've had to stop doing some spells 'cause it's just getting too expensive to find the stuff to do them with.

Loose tobacco? Yeah, there's actually a couple of smoker's shops that sell the loose stuff - back home we used to use it to cut dope with, make it go a bit further.

*coughs* Not that I do that any more, of course.

Just so both of you know, I have a very long lecture stored up about what will happen if there are cloves smoked in my room. I never got to use it on my cousin and it has been percolating, much like good strong coffee.

The best parts are in French, but I could have Doug translate!

No smoking of anything in your room, roomie. Well, there was the once with the hanging out of the window and only having one cigarette, but that was after Meg got brought back and I didn't want to leave her to satisfy the evil habit that nerves makes worse. Besides, Meg's quick to tell me how Stinky my clothes get - don't think I'll be stinking up the room with anything more than that oil burner I got, the one with the lavender and mint for those post pre-cog headaches of yours...

it's a smoke bath, not a smoke lodge.

if it makes you cough, you're doing it wrong. it's like incense.

but why would I do it in your room...unless you know something I don't?

smokers shops?

interesting.

[xp_daytripper]

*nods* Those places they sell fancy cigars and lighters and the rest at. They usually have loose tobacco and papers, tho' you don't need to buy papers, obviously.

I don't think they have those on the rez. everyone just smoked the cheapest cigs they could get.

you mean a lighter nicer than a zippo?

[xp_daytripper]

Ah, but this is the Big City, and they have shops for everything. *grins* Although there's any number of people who would tell you rolling your own is cheaper than buying even the cheapest and nastiest brand.

And yep, nicer than a zippo. There's novelty ones shape like cars or guns and stuff, even.
