The Mind Of OverlordTomala

>Sunday Clothing Blog

Sorry to disappoint, but I didn’t wear any of my tricked out clothes today. Still, I am not one to squander my clothing investments. So here we go:

Photobucket

A plain white shirt. All alone it can be very bland. But add a splash of color and it can become a very nice part of your collection.

Wearing this on top of the white shirt added lovely results. The overlord is pleased.

Photobucket

This is my newest purse. A nice leather one to add to my badassedness. As nice as leather is though, I’m no leather queen…

Photobucket

A flower for the side of my head. I was going for a sweet look today.

Photobucket

These are two of the 3 prized rings I love to wear. The one on my pinky was a valentines day present from the birthers of the overlord when I was 7, before my inner evil crawled out… Now it fits around my crooked pinky. The other ring was a birthday gift from my late grandmother who left this world not all that long ago. I wear it and I think of her…

Photobucket

Little heart choker.

Photobucket

Chinese bracelet I purchased during my Vacation in Spokane last year.

Photobucket

Black pants. Slimming on the ass!

Photobucket

No overlord is complete without an extra comfortable pair of sneakers. Now last but not least…

Photobucket

I have a thing for Oriental purchases. I kinda started a little trend. I know of two friends of mine in the meter room that would like Chinese dresses. 😀 I like their designs for bowls, cups, clothing and the oriental culture is very interesting to me. Every now and then I wear this nightgown:

It serves a double purpose, it’s cozy to wear at night AND it can be a costume! I mean… How cute is that???

This concludes todays webisode of the clothing blog. Tune in tomorrow if I give a damn.

>Saturday Night Open Thread

Your Overlord had a shitty day. But at the end of it all there was San_San’s chicken and dumpling soup with homemade peanut butter cookies for dessert. Once again as a member of the United Pastry Jihad I praise her and her cookies. Did I neglect to mention that she makes killer macadameia white chocolate cookies? No? Sorry I thought it needed repeating because that’s how good they are! Peanut butter ones are real mouthwatering too, real mouthwatery.

Oh… And starting Sunday I am declaring Fashion Week here on the blog. I’m not going to make it about what’s hot and what’s not. I’ve never really been for the “follow the trend” thing. Why? When you’re the Overlord you MAKE your own look. If people stare at you because you look awesome or think you’re weird then mission accomplished. I’ll show you what I use to make me, me. On a blog that is about the community, but mostly me.

>The Overlord’s Creamy Tomato Soup

1/4 cup of butter

One quarter of a tennis ball sized yellow onion, chopped

one stalk of celery, chopped

one to two cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp of flour

Large pinch of salt

Pepper to taste

1 16 to 18 oz can of diced and stewed tomatoes Italian style or fire roasted with their juice.

2 cups of milk

1 tbsp of dry sherry

2 tbsp of Italian seasoning

1 tbsp of parsley

a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce

Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic followed by the salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir until vegetables are tender and add the flour and stir till everything is combined. Add your can of tomatoes with juice and stir in with everything else. Let it sit for a couple minutes, then get the milk and add it into the pan. Stir together and let it simmer.

When it simmers, add the sherry and a few drops of hot pepper sauce. Serve hot

Makes 4 servings.

>Re:Torture

http://www.dpwr.net/alahmnat/2009/04/29/torture/

So I was reading Alah’s blog (Praise Alah) today, sorry that’s a lie. So my hired assistant read me his blog entry today regarding torture from the United States. I managed to catch this part:

Alah:

It runs completely contrary to common sense and logic, and I can’t imagine how the people getting on TV and defending what was done over the past eight years can even stand to look themselves in the mirror every day (obviously, Cheney doesn’t have that problem, because he’s a fucking vampire).

No, Dick Cheney eats Vampires for breakfast. You’re thinking of Karl Rove. Dick Cheney has a black hole for a heart. His bunker cannot be accessed by anything human due to all the hot lava at the center of the earth. And I heard he bitchslapped Satan and took his rightful place there.

Since this is “I am Uru and so can you” I’ll get right to the point. I agree with Alah that torture is a horrid thing. Which is why I wish Myst/Uru community mindfucking would be outlawed. We lose many Myst/Uru fans each day due to their asshat tactics and if we want to survive as a community, we need to step up and torture those who torture individuals with their asshattary. It’s wrong, subhuman, and it needs to stop.

>Hard times we are in.

In these hard times we face the chance of being laid off, fired, losing our homes and being bound to the streets asking for food or spare change. Or at home begging for money to get a new external drive.

http://www.dpwr.net/alahmnat/2009/04/28 … s-begging/

In light of this, I too am having my own troubles. I have a warn out torn up bed. Could some kind person who is reading this fork over $1,000 so I can get a new one?

This just in! I managed to get my mattress working again by sewing up all the tears and adding patches to it. I guess I won’t need you guys till next time.

>The MystBlog’s Situation

It seems Denis/ddfeyne/Cyan Intern has decided not to let me back onto MystBlogs after several emails back and forth. Apparently I was removed because of some pictures DreamingGirl posted when she was my co author. Seeing this happen, I have decided to publish all emails between the two of us. Mind my grammatical errors please, I hate yahoo…

Hi Tomala,

I have received several complains about your blog’s content, which is appearing on Myst Blogs. Several of your recent blog posts are not appropriate for Myst Blogs.

I have temporarily removed your blog from from Myst Blogs. Would it be possible for you to filter the content from your end so that only specific blog posts show up on Myst Blogs?

Regards,

Denis

Hey DD,

I talked this over with my co author of the week and we both would like a bit more information as to what people have found inappropriate. Since I run the blog, I can’t do much on my end content wise unless given specifics. I would appreciate it if you would let me know what the complaints are aimed at.

Thanks.

Tomala.

Hi,

I wrote you a couple weeks ago asking what kind of content needs to be removed from my blog. I find it interesting that as quick as you were to remove me from MystBlogs, you are taking your getting back to me regarding my question. If I am to remove anything that readers are complaining about, I first need to know what the complaints are being directed against. Otherwise this is not going to go anywhere. So when you find some time, I would appreciate a response.

Thank you.

From Tomala.

I did send you a reply on March 21st. This is what I said:

> It is not mentioned explicitly on the Myst Blogs and Uru Blogs web sites, but we’d like to keep all content as G-rated as possible. At least two of your recent posts did not quite match that criterium:

Ah so you removed me from the list due to an unwritten rule. I guess that makes sense. However, this does not:

http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/inde … opic=33036

http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/inde … opic=32921

http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/inde … opic=32709

Not “G” Pictures

http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/inde … opic=32667

“Clet”

http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/inde … opic=32420

I don’t seem to understand why you tell me that you try to keep it as G rated as possible and let these people and more pass through with a green light. Here we have some general cursing, a photo of someone in the nude, and PG13 discussions in CyanChat. Mind you these are small examples of my findings. I could always find the rest of them by searching some more at Myst Community.

So, what makes their content appropriate and mine (or rather, co bloggers) not appropriate?

From Tomala.

Denis:

4/17/09

I couldn’t care less about general cursing. Preventing anyone to say “shit” or “fuck” would not make sense and there wouldn’t be many people left on Myst Blogs. That photo of someone nude is not directly visible since it’s not embedded as an image in the post—instead, it is a link to an image.

“As G rated as possible” is perhaps not the best way to describe the content that should appear on Myst Blogs, but it should serve as a general guideline. The images you posted are almost NSFW, and I will definitely not ever allow such content on Myst Blogs.

The posts which prompted me to (temporarily) remove you from Myst Blogs contain images embedded directly into the web page. This means they show up to anyone visiting Myst Blogs, whether they want it or not.

A solution would be to not include any content possibly not appropriate for Myst Blogs in the actual post, but rather place them elsewhere, and place a link to this separate page in the post, along with a warning mentioning the type of material that is being linked to.

Regards,

Denis

It sounds to me like the only problem is the pictures. Is it the content itself? Or are people on dialup complaining about the load time to load these pictures. Either way I’ll edit DG’s picture posts and make her pictures into links.

Will that work for you?

Tomala.

Denis:

4/25/09

Given your inability to understand the reason why I have removed you from Myst Blogs, I’ve decided not to readd you even if you do fix the pictures.

I also believe this matter has been discussed more than necessary; any future e-mails on this topic will be ignored.

Regards,

Denis

My last email:

4/25/09

I apologize for not understanding. I only wanted to make absolutely sure what the problem was as specific as possible just so I wouldn’t make the same mistake again. It wasn’t my intent to upset you or anything of the sort.

I sincerely apologize This is my last email to you.

From Tomala.

You know, just because you’re part of Cyan in some small way, that doesn’t mean you have to use their style of vagueness when telling me what’s wrong at my blog. And even better, I go and edit the “offending” pictures and he decides due to my “inability to understand” that I’m not fit to be back on MystBlogs.

Man what was wrong with me? Why did I ever let pictures of shirtless cartoon characters and creepy cosplay onto my own blog via one of my good friends??? What the fuck was I thinking? Why can’t I be a model community member like Julian Lapis who posts things like this?

Thank you so much for saving the community from Slacker filth. I’m sure all your friends and butt buddies truly appreciate it.

>Happy Birthday to meeeeee

Yesterday was my birthday. I strolled around town enjoying my day off and at the end of the day I got $100, fish n chips and a jaffa cake flavored cake. As overlord I like to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Some have asked me over at Uru Obsession to share my real face with the rest of the world. And to that I say wait for my first film to be post on YouTube! I’m currently reinstalling my main system (that damn spring cleaning… Plus I can’t get any good minions to do it for me). So when I’m up and situated on my main computer I’ll finish editing my video to all and post it.

Anyway, back to that Jaffa cake cake. San_San makes the best cakes, cookies, muffins and baked goods anyone could ever want. In fact every year at Christmas time she always sends out gift baskets to our closest friends and family all over the world. Too bad she isn’t around more often, otherwise I would have her join up with the United Pastry Jihad.

I could talk about how good her macadamia nut cookies and banana nut bread are. But I think I’ll save that for another blog session.

In the meantime, Spring Cleaning… And now for no reason here is a random picture:
