And the bridges.
I'm certain you mean the Portland bridges, although the East Coast bridges are pretty fierce. The Mount Hope will fucking ANYTHING on a windy day, especially when they have only one lane open (on a 2-lane 80-90 year old suspension bridge) and you're on a bus. :horrormirth:
I think the West Coast has superior bridges, though.

In other, totally boring, news, I am stoked for the end of the term and have, as is my wont, meticulously planned the remaining classes I will be taking at PCC in the upcoming year, which is three terms of math, chemistry, and biology, two terms of writing, a speech class and some other lame class I will be completely irritated at being forced to take.

Oh my. Changes to the Royal Succession agreed.
Now the little girls of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family tree will also inherit vast amounts of wealth, titular leadership of a nation and undeclared but very real private influence, should they be born first. How delightfully progressive. Our monarchy is now equal opportunities, and that's what is really important. It practically oozes egalitarianism, because that's what we in Britain are about.
Well, having a queen for 700 years can do that. I'm guessing they're getting ready for the WillKateling? On the bright side, she's NOT royalty, so the odds of it looking like a Windsor are low, unless the genetics are that strong.
The news has been non-stop, ever since the announcement. It's just as well I don't watch TV, else I'd probably go mental by now.
This particular farce, the succession business, reminds me of the (mostly futile) effort to get the Church of England to be nice to Women and The Gaze. It's a church. Forgive me for being so blunt, but oppressing gays and women is what it does. It's like complaining Hitler doesn't hire enough Jews to work at the Nazi Party HQ.
Complaining about the Royal Line of Succession being sexist is exactly like that.
Meanwhile, I am sniping all the things. I'm finding I quite enjoy the Viper - it's light, the recoil is minimal, and if you get in a headshot you can take out most basic troopers. Not that it matters if you can't - you get six shots to a clip, so just unload until it stops moving. Throwing it on an Asari Infiltrator and using Dark Channel to stagger the enemy momentarily is working really well - 20 headshots a game and 75+ kills can't be wrong - so I dread to think what this thing could do on Baby's First Sniper, or, god forbid, the Geth Infiltrator.

No, but it's the red flag with black and white stripes. And he's trying to tell me in IM that it's a "coincidence."

Ya, that is too strong of a resemblance.
Like I said, I refuse to believe that it was just a coincidence. Even with the one he claims he "based" his off of, the stripes aren't EXACTLY LIKE A FUCKING NAZI FLAG.
Oh, and now it's okay, because Communists killed more than Nazis.
Phew, I was worried there for a minute. I guess I'll just turn the Rebel Alliance flag into the fucking STARS AND BARS BECAUSE COMMUNISTS KILLED MORE PEOPLE THAN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR!

And the use of red as the field doesn't help his case much either.
Oh fuck it, it's a public post. Let's rip him. The Stars and Bars are "okay" too, because the Civil War wasn't racist.
I'd love, but I can't.
And the Civil War has it's basis in the racist policy of enslaving a group of people based on the color of their skin as the foundation for a agrarian economy. To say it wasn't about slavery is to miss the point of the events that lead up to the succession and formation of the Confederacy. That idiot is somehow conflating the idea that the Civil War wasn't originally about FREEING the slaves, and the idea that the institution of slavery was at the root of the problems between the North and South.
Man, I've seen people try to defend the actions of the Confederacy... But defending the Confederacy and Nazi Germany? That guy's head must explode every time he sees someone who's not white.
I feel bad for the guy who actually made the banner. It sounds like the similarities with a Nazi banner are purely coincidental. It was probably an unconscious connection when he was trying to think of something that'd represent an "evil empire." And now he has a racist tool defending something he never meant to say in the first place.
The arguer is from Oklahoma.
The flag-designer is from Texas.
I don't think they give two fucking shits in any argument I could make, because I'm a "yank" and they wouldn't mind, "Hacking at me." I'd tell them I grew up in Florida, but they'll get pissed, and call me "not really Southern." Which is fine, but in actuality they say that because Florida was never formally taken by the Union. Tallahassee was the only Confederate capital never taken. So, Confederate sympathizers get pretty uppity about that, while Floridians can give a legit middle finger to them. Truth is, no one wanted to fight in Florida. Not that I blame them...
The inevitable "Nazism and Communism are the same thing" argument has been made. I'm dealing with morons. I need to leave this before I bust an artery.

I think the West Coast has superior bridges, though.
If you think our bridges are bad, you should see our drainage tunnels.
Okay, I say "see" and you think of things you can actually apprehend with your eyeballs. What I'm talking about is an impenetrable darkness, a deep cylindrical vault of pitch black that ends in a hole that if you fall into, lies certain death. Imagine drowning in a confined space devoid of light, very near many people a few yards above you, but too far removed for anyone to remotely hear your screams unless you happen to be boating on the Willamette.
If you're lucky, some well-to-do boaters will say, "Did you hear someone shriek?" And, "Why that's awful, if only I could tell where that faint but horrific cry originated from...."
At least in the Shanghai Tunnels the point was to capture you alive.

exactly like the kind of bullshit excuse a school would come up with too. :lol:
I have to hand it to you guys who put up with kids like that. I honestly couldn't do it.
A guy started teaching at my old high school this year. It was his first year of teaching ever. Straight out of college. Well, halfway through the semester they put him on leave because a female student said she had an "inappropriate relationship" with him. They ended up investigating to see if they should press charges against him. But, it turns out, the girl admitted she lied about it. Apparently she just didn't like the teacher and wanted him gone (screw the fact that such a claim could ruin his life). He hasn't returned since. I can't say I blame him.

Taking the day off from PD, I think, for everyone's sake.
You take the wrong pill by accident?
No. I got called 6 times between 8PM and 2AM, then called into the plant at 3:45AM.
Jeez, Roger. And what the hell, Cain? Hope the building manager sides with you, there.

My income isn't subject to anything except raises, being fired, and the size of my bonuses, which are driven by objective standards. With the above exceptions, my paycheck is always exactly the same size, no matter what.
Uh huh. Which would be an upside to the situation, correct?

Sure. When your salary is based on a 40 hour week, and you routinely work 80 hours +.
So basically, I get paid half of what I'm supposedly paid.
Yeah, that would make anyone bitter about it.

I'm less bitter than you'd think. I enjoy the work (it suits my emergentile™ nature), and I do get paid enough that I don't usually have to sweat the bills.
But still.
Doobie do...got bored of the Commando challenge, so aiming for Biotic Godhood...all I have left to do is the Nova challenge. Which is surprisingly fun. The poor human Novaguard is sadly dismissed, because he does not have fancy abilities, or grenades, or massive amounts of hitpoints. But he does not need these things. All he needs are enemies to set up tech bursts, and then Nova annihilates the enemy like a cluster grenade. With fire. Or ice. Or electricity. Or possibly biotics, though the charge should detonate that. He is a walking grenade.
Sure, I'd rather be playing a drell adept, but banners come first.
Work is delightful today. I am in charge of my department tonight but I have two less than apt coworkers with me. So basically I can run around trying to get everything done myself and still get bitched out for it or . . . fuck off all night until they throw us out.

Commando Banner in sight.
I have become scarily proficient with the Turian soldier, to the point I pretty much deserve the title of Commando. For a while I was rocking a Hurricane SMG/Scorpion heavy pistol combo, but I was severely suffering when it came to larger maps, so I swapped the latter for the Viper sniper rifle.
All of a sudden, I'm beating the crap out of everything at every possible range. I got lucky too, with a few random maps that have some open areas perfect for sniping. And playing Reapers didn't hurt....headshot the first Cannibal so it goes down instantly, then let the rest start to eat its corpse. Fire the proxy mine and then another couple of rounds for anything still twitching. I think in one particular match, I managed to close more than a few rounds in under a minute, on my own.
Shame I've done all the extractions I need with him, as I was starting to enjoy beating the infiltrators on headshots and sniper kills in the scoreboard.

It's pretty fucking horrible when we look to healthcare in another country than our own because it's cheaper. I was told to go to Costa Rica to get my gallbladder removed, because even with the flight and hospital bills, it would be about a third of what it would cost in the US without insurance.

Bacterial meningitis almost killed my sister, and left her with brain damage. She's never going to be fit to work ever. It's taken 8 years for some of the damage to her frontal cortex to repair itself... She gets mini-strokes still.

MOTHERFUCKING DRELL SNIPERS

Not my pic, but bored of Drell Vanguard, so I re-specc'd. Well, no, that's not strictly true. You can never be bored of Drell Vanguard. Every game with him is a pant-wetting, terrifying roller-coaster ride of taking the weakest character in the game and having him slam into the enemy's face at maximum velocity.
Frequently, the enemy dies, especially when you then throw grenades at your feet and run away, but frequently you also die.
So I'm down with the idea of using Pull to lift enemies helplessly into the air and then fire a bullet through the head. That's my type of fighting: the unfair kind.

It would go away for THREE terms, because that's how many calculus classes are in the series.
For the sake of simplicity, I said fuck it, and re-registered for the stats class. Now I'm taking stats, writing, psychology, stress & human health, and a one-credit seminar class on test anxiety.
Plus I found out that NONE of the biology classes I need are available at PCC, which means that I have exactly nine classes left there before starting at PSU. Three chemistry classes, three writing classes, stats II, public speaking, and physics. I can take classes at PSU anytime, of course, but I don't really want to commute back and forth between campuses. I might start taking psychology classes there Spring term if I can work out my schedule so that I don't have any other classes those days.

I hate you all like you were Pol Pot's "plate" boy.
I have been informed that the Christmas party will be on the 15th.
And the theme this year is white trash.
On one hand this is good for me because I won't have to agonize over finding a shirt without noticeable holes. On the other hand I can see me cringing at what everyone is gonna come up with (last year's theme was bad sweaters, people put much effort into it *shudders*).
Plus I've given my husband my word that I wouldn't be sitting on the sofa the whole night. Fun.
What a theme.
TIRED. I can feel the anger coming on.
I have to give my boss a form filled out by my classmate who is about to become a coworker.
This is good, because I like her, and bad, because I was not planning on going into the office today. Dammit.
I am also thinking that I might solve my psych/biology dilemma by double majoring. They discourage it but I think I can do a combined capstone project in neuroscience and if I declare my major as microbiology but rack up enough psych credits what are they going to do, tell me no?

Now, I think this good, my socializing.

Yep.

A minute ago I was wearing my treasured cardboard crown from Burger King. Now I'm not and I do not, for the life of me, know where it went or how it escaped my head. The part of my hair that isn't tightly tied down is a peculiar cross between tentacles and curls right now, which makes a casual tumble unlikely.
So, the Salarian Infiltrator, also known as Baby's First Sniper. Without a doubt, the sniper par excellence for the game. Some would argue for the Geth Infiltrator, but that beast is just a stone cold killing machine. It tears things to shreds with any weapon....the Claymore shotgun is a favourite build, but I've seen them tear apart entire groups of enemies with the Talon pistol or SMGs before now. I am fairly sure even on Silver, a Predator X wielding GI would be viable...assuming you weren't kicked from every lobby in the game for taking the piss first.
What makes the Salarian so formidable? Well, two things really: Energy Drain and Proxy Mine.
Energy Drain is a very useful ability. Any enemy with a barrier or shield, it will be damaged, with the power adding to your own shields. If you have no shields, draining some automatically starts them regenerating. At the highest levels, damaging a barrier or shield will restore your shield entirely and give you added damage resistance for several seconds.
But that's not all. Energy Drain does direct damage to synthetics, meaning you can kill Geth with it. And, against organics, it usefully staggers them...setting them up for the perfect headshot.
Proxy Mine, on the other hand, is great at setting up traps on choke points of the map, or debuffing enemy bosses before going for the kill. With the build I use, it does just shy of 1000 points of damage in a three metre radius, and then for anything still alive, they will take an extra 20% of damage from all sources for 8 seconds.
On top of that, you have the normal infiltrator's friend of Tactical Cloak, which I have evolved for an extra 80% damage when cloaked. 105% with a sniper rifle, though this weekend I'll be using the Saber, which is an assault rifle (if in name only). If I were playing the higher difficulty levels, I might evolve it for duration and lose 40% damage, because it makes doing the objective rounds so much easier (especially the dreaded round 10 activation challenge), but that's not really an issue where I'm playing at.
It does mean only having three points in fitness, so you're a bit of a glass cannon, but energy drain makes up for that significantly, as does Tactical Cloak. You're nowhere near as fragile as, say, the Geth Infiltrator or N7 Shadow, and this is in fact a viable build all the way up to Platinum.
Since this weekend's challenge is the assault rifle, I'm using the Saber. Long range, hits hard, not many spare rounds or clips to the shot, but more than the average sniper rifle. Thrown on the scope and the armour piercing mod...I'd use the extended barrel or the high velocity barrel if I thought I could get away with it, but my power recharge rate is already below +100% and I don't want it getting any lower, and I don't want to spend any more armour piercing ammo than I have to. Gear Bonus is the Assault Rifle Amp III, for an extra 10% weapons damage. I would normally strap this guy with an SMG and Sniper Rifle and give him the Guerrilla Upgrade V for an extra 12% damage on each weapon, but obviously neither of these bonuses are helpful here.
Try Hard Mode: engaged. Now I just gotta wait for the operation to actually start. I hope I'm going to get another Valiant or Hurricane this weekend, but no doubt I'll end up with the Eagle, again. Or worse, the Crusader.
Will vacuum up all the holist later today. I have a confined space entry & critical lift to oversee.
I'll be back on in about 3-4 hours.

Anyway, I've had it up to my bottom lip with Holist. Every time we start getting something moving here, asshole shows up and derails everything. I can't holler at anyone for responding to him, because I do it myself...But writing here has become about as much fun as writing on 23AE, with the Uncle BadTouch family trolls shitting all over everything.

I know I really can't ignore the prick, for the sole reason that he picks someone he thinks is vulnerable and then dumps on them (imagine what life is like for his GF? One wife already escaped him). In particular, he's got a bone for Twid, following him around and telling him his music sucks (it doesn't), as it is "poorly written and executed".
He does this because he knows Twid's had a rough time. He is therefore trying to make Twid upset, and to one degree or another, it seems to be working.
Holist is a parasite.
Well, place is empty.

Mussed hair is dead sexy. My just-woke-up-bed-head-hair is sexy. My post shower taming of the tresses . . . I have to tie my hair up or I sit on it instead of the toilet or the chair or whatever. Which is fine. But my hair has a mind of it's own once it's been fed with water and soap. It curls and tangles and . . . well I can store my knitting needles in the gathering of curls around my forehead.
And by casual tumble, I meant it was unlikely to have fallen off my head without me noticing. Not that I wouldn't be able to get laid because of my hair. :P
Just to make sure we're on the same page here.

The part of my hair that isn't tightly tied down is a peculiar cross between tentacles and curls right now, which makes a casual tumble unlikely.
WTF?
I have never understood why women think mussed hair is un-sexy.
Mussed hair is dead sexy. My just-woke-up-bed-head-hair is sexy. My post shower taming of the tresses . . . I have to tie my hair up or I sit on it instead of the toilet or the chair or whatever. Which is fine. But my hair has a mind of it's own once it's been fed with water and soap.

I'm a huge fan of long hair, but wow. That must be a solid bitch to take care of.
And please make your metaphors more clear. LMNO and I are depending on You People to not fuck with our heads that way. We are old and vile, and our blood pressure is dicey.

Sorry. I was a little whacked last night. Yarn fumes and dub-steb violin. It's not so bad so long as I keep it tied up. Eventually I am going to shave my head and start over, though.
That length would drive me batshit. mine's too long now, and it's only halfway down my shoulder blades. D:

Lift cancelled because of EVERYTHING IS FUCKED.
Anyway, I've had it up to my bottom lip with Holist. Every time we start getting something moving here, asshole shows up and derails everything. I can't holler at anyone for responding to him, because I do it myself...But writing here has become about as much fun as writing on 23AE, with the Uncle BadTouch family trolls shitting all over everything.
I am open to suggestions.
I would suggest a pledge, but we've proven over and over again that the members here, for whatever reason, are no longer mentally or emotionally capable of maintaining a pledge for even a few hours. Or perhaps they simply don't understand what "pledge" means, or what the purpose of it is. Or, possibly, they like holist and enjoy having him around, so they prefer to encourage him by responding rather than run the risk that he get bored of being ignored and go away.
I know I really can't ignore the prick, for the sole reason that he picks someone he thinks is vulnerable and then dumps on them (imagine what life is like for his GF? One wife already escaped him). In particular, he's got a bone for Twid, following him around and telling him his music sucks (it doesn't), as it is "poorly written and executed".
He does this because he knows Twid's had a rough time. He is therefore trying to make Twid upset, and to one degree or another, it seems to be working.
Holist is a parasite.
Yep.
He picks on women and people he thinks are easy targets.

Swapped out the Saber for the Vindicator. Not nearly as powerful, but only a quarter of the weight. Still, killing things aint easy without hitting them in the head. Not to mention I keep getting drawn against Reapers...unlike Cerberus or Geth, only two units have barriers, one is a complete bastard to shoot, and the other kills you if you get too close.
Sigh.
Back to work tonight anyway, I'll work on the challenge tomorrow.
Yeah- apparently there was a xaverian brother who just started getting boulders to make the worlds largest rosary. I forget but it think it said jfk was the one who donated the anchor chain. Jfk had something to do with it. Each hail mary bead/boulder has the prayer on a plaque in one of 53 languages.
It is funny though. It reminds me of american gods. Except its an actual shrine too.
It does look however like it will be a doctor who night since villager is currently moving samples and is unsure of when she is leaving.
Yeah- it takes an hour to an hour and a half to commute to her place and about 45 min to get to holliston from boston. That already brings it to 7 pm ish if we left now and the light display ends at 9. On top of that its likely going to rain in holliston and the temp is in the high 30s. Plus the gift shop is closed and i want to get my "i saw the worlds largest rosary and all i got was plenary indulgences and this crappy t shirt."
I got in my ER bill.
I was covered for a whole HALF of it. HALF. FUCKING HALF. I still owe over 2 grand!
Please, someone tell me what it's like to live in a 1st world country.

This quarter is over, just a final in precalc.
I got time to put ideas to paper for some modifications to OD&D because I suffer from hipsterism.
I made the mistake of looking at the facebook page of a dear friend of mine, whose opinion, used to, mean a lot to me. It made me realize how radically different someone can be when you only see one slice of that person, and now I wonder if I should question my views on HEMA, which are influenced by his. Lucky for me, or perhaps unluckily, think that I have managed to go through life without placing so much stock in the opinions of anyone person that to find them to diametrically opposed, or ignorant of things I understand to be true and right, that the discovery would cause my worldview to shatter. I guess I'm mostly just sad at how jingoist, rightwing, and po'bucker he is, knowing how educated and insightful he is with regards to teaching HEMA.

The part of my hair that isn't tightly tied down is a peculiar cross between tentacles and curls right now, which makes a casual tumble unlikely.
WTF?
I have never understood why women think mussed hair is un-sexy.
I hate the way my hair looks after brushing. Imma bedhead gal allllll the time. I'm so adverse to hairbrushes that I'm considering a crop, to avoid my hair forming dreadlocks.
I think the London Riots 2.0 just kicked off. Under my window. So far, the police are winning, by one broken arm and several face-to-tarmac takedowns.
Fighting's over. I can tell, because there are more police here now than I've ever seen in London, over a lifetime.
The hell?
Party's officially over. The Party Van has turned up, which is always a good sign of such things.
Doesn't look like they're dragging away Handcuffed McBrokenarm for questioning yet, though. Seems fair, since he himself was being mobbed by half a dozen either very vicious plains clothes police officers, or the aforementioned wannabe rioters.

Dunno myself. I heard a bunch of shouting and so looked out my window to see one guy get taken down by half a dozen overs. Kicking and stomping followed, with additional sounds of fighting from further down the street, and I was just about to dial 999 when one of them shouted "it's the police" and they all scattered. The police, including at least one plain clothes officer from what I can see, then started beating the crap out of everyone else, and handcuffed the first guy I saw, who, by the way he is screaming, definitely has a broken arm.
Fuck man.

Nope, not since Friday evening.
He usually disappears from the board over the weekend... maybe he's hanging out at his parents' house.
Bored, so I'm trolling the hippies and the Facebook Discordian group. :lol:
HI guise. I'm back. And tired as one hundred and twenty seven thousand goddamns.
Day off. My cat has vomited in my roommate's room after making several bansidhe gurgle-yodels that scared everyone out of their skins, except for me, I slept through it. Now she is hiding in my lap and my roommates are bitching.
What day is it and where am I?
Had a dream the Atlantic rose up and swallowed everything but the Rockies and the Appalachians. People were playing in it like it was a holiday, ignoring the fact pretty much everything everywhere was destroyed and people were pretty dead. Then I was picking Legos out of a sandbox while one of my co-workers pissed off my neighbor's miniature horses.
The other dream was influenced by that discordian market place thing. Only flea-market/farmer's market style. I was selling felted wool Dark Empress's Iron Crown covers and crocheted blankets with TGRR's face (as it is in his current icon) on them.
Like this, kinda :
(http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/totallee/51340851/s320x320_medium_medium.jpg)
Nigel's troops were wearing black armor and patrolling in groups of four, testing all the home-brewed booze, and breaking up fights over at Suu's Kissing Booth and Costumery. Twid was selling drumsticks (I don't know why) and Luna was selling cider, alcohol, and insults. It was weird but fun.
Were they covered in buffalo sauce or were they the striking kind? :)

More fun than the nightmares. :P The co-worker from the first dream, who was harassing the miniature horses, was in the second dream, riding one of them and dressed up all Friar Tuck style. I thought that was hilarious.

NOPE! There's a person on Ravelry who did one of all the main HP characters and the the crests of the four houses. She is insane and should be shot.
Although I will say that when I first woke up I dearly wanted to make the TGRR blanket and the "Dark Empress Nigel Iron Crown Felted Wool Cozy"
Can you imagine someone with TGRR's face in every window because they're using the blanket as a curtain or something? Or the look on someone's face when they open their Giftmas package and see him staring up at them?
Can't you just see the Dark Empress Nigel sitting on her throne of hipster bones and skinny-jeans-skins, her iron crown heavy on her brow . . . covered in grey felted wool with little pink and purple roses all over it? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Can you march to Georgia on your road of bones by way of Pennsylvania? I have a lot of family there that you could use to pave your road with. Two birds, one stone, and all.
So I've discovered that when my wife was dropping my kids off with me, when it is her day to have them, so she could go get some "chores" done, apparently "chores" = hookup with her new piece of ass.
Mother of the Year material right there.
And she wonders why she is losing the kids emotionally. Maybe because they apparently don't rank above the new boy toy.
I don't know this woman anymore.

Then I guess, however much it sucks, divorce isn't the wrong choice or a bad one. That sucks. Your kids don't deserve that shit.
Yeah, at this point the divorce can't happen soon enough.
Also, apologies to everyone for my weirdness and paranoia lately. But she can be such a powderkeg and irrational I'm just trying to be cautious with my every move until the divorce is final.

Like I said, total mid-life crisis scenario. Something broke in her brain, dude. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
My little girl told me I'm not part of her family because I live so far away.
:sad:
That I don't know if she came to these conclusions on her own or from the suggestion of someone else is kind of excruciating.
Sorry man, that sucks (understatement). Just my opinion, but I wouldn't tend to think this is an idea kids come up with on their own.
That, or they get fed it by some resentful/stirring/even earnest family member. I think it's equally possible and you should find out ASAP.

I was a little exhausted, and never thought that, hey, someone might want to know if I'm still okay after the latest "ambush" by what might be the single most useless vengeful yahoo ever.
So I feel kinda bad. In any case, he wasn't lurking in my house or anything. I wonder if Bin Ladin ever felt this way, while he was "hiding" at his house or whatever.

Little k ids of a certain age are obsessed with the rules and order of the world. She probably came up with it on her own because it doesn't fit into a tidy definition of "family", and will adjust it later on as she assimilates the rules and becomes more flexible.
And then everyone left. :sad:

Sit down with her and explain to the contrary, in terms little kids can understand, such as, distance doesn't matter, and you know lots of people who live very far away from each other and they are still family.
...Then, confront the mother. If she has something to do with it, just go, "Well, if I'm not family, I guess you don't need that child support." And watch the tone change REALLY FAST.
Well, this sucks. I guess I'll just take a nap.

Well, here's the thing: There's usually plenty of people HERE, they just don't SAY anything. I don't know whether it's because everyone's on a cell phone (making idle chat harder to do) or if they just can't be arsed to say anything. If it's the latter, it's probably because we don't DO much here anymore. Remember Werewolf and The Spiders? I'm not saying to do those particular things again, but if the board is all idle chat, soon you don't even have that.
Just my 2 bits.
Hell, I'm still here either way. I'm comfortable ranting to an empty room.
If nothing else, I can C&P it to Scrubgenius when I get home.
You ain't getting' rid of me either. I might not have much to rant/write/shout/scream about, but when i do, there is no other place I want to do it.

That sucks, NET. Sorry to hear it. :S
I took a day off actually, and just lazed. This involved looking after 2.4-year old, going to the lakeside to check the ice (walkable/skateable in a couple-three days if all goes as planned) with dog, taking delivery of 5 dead and cleaned chickens, butterflying them, giving the heads ritually to dog who thinks it's christmas now, making chicken stock out of the legs and the spines and the gizzards (is that what you callem?). I fried up the livers for the missus, who was coming back from a hard day's work in the evening. I fried them in fairly small pieces in goosefat with some dijon mustard. A fight broke out when the two kids in residence were drawn in by the smell. In the meantime, I administrated over the phone, wrote a contract, an invoice, went to an antiques-dealer down the road who has some frames to sell to see about frames for the exhibition, arranged to have a faulty disk-drive picked up for repair/replacement... by evening I developed a decent cold, runny snot, sneezing, occasionally bouts of coughing, light-headed, probably heading for fever in the night, and all day I did not feel like opening PD. Sorry, Roger. :lulz:

I am calling bullshit on almost everything in this post.
Net, whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THIS ADVICE. Any of it.
1. The concept of "family" is much more complex and fluid than most of us realize, and a child that age is going through different stages of grasping the rules and structure of what "family" is. Especially in this era where "family" doesn't just mean "mommy and daddy and children" anymore, caregivers and teachers will often try to explain that it means "the people close to you, who love you". That's really, really abstract for a young mind. They will try to make it more concrete.
A confrontational conversation with her mother is completely counterproductive, whether it's something she said or not (and unless she's batshit enough to try to emotionally damage her OWN CHILD by telling her that her father isn't part of her family, it's incredibly unlikely that she did) because it will make her feel uncomfortable and defensive.
And obviously, threatening to withhold child support is utterly retarded and not something anyone should do, ever.
My advice: next time you talk to her, just say "Do you want to know something neat thing about family? Part of your family can be far away, but still be family!"
That adds to her lexicon of rules about defining "family".
Also, over the years kids will say really fucked up things as they sort through their world and try to make sense of it all. Try not to let it be more than a minor blip.

The above.
Main thing is, if there IS a tug-of-war, don't let the kid turn into the rope.
Yeah.
Also, keep in mind that most little kids will grasp onto the geographical definition of "close" if someone says that "family are the people close to you". Explaining that there is another kind of close, "closeness in your heart" can help a lot with that.
I had almost that exact same conversation with my oldest daughter when she was around 3. She was confused about whether Daddy was still "family" when she was at my house, and whether I was still "family" when she was at Daddy's house. All because of that tricky word, "close".
Surprisingly, small children also respond well to "always with you in your heart".
I think it is perfectly fair for there to be a conversation between Net and the mother, though I would recommend having it after talking to the child. Children don't tend to have the filters adults have, so if it is something being encoraged by the mother, I think that would come out in that conversation, directly or indirectly. I think it is fair to ask the mother to be aware of this and to think about any unintentional signals she may be sending that would reinforce that idea. But certainly I wouldn't launch into her or mess with child support, unless you have some firm legal support behind you.
Net, I think the most important thing to do, after reassuring her as Nigel said, is to remember that no matter what she is going to be an adult some day. And when that time comes, probably somewhat before, you will be able to have a real conversation with her about why things were the way they were.
And she's going to deal with it in her own way, as all people must do.
These things that kid's say...they get to us because they're supposed to get to us. But the reality is kids are ignorant, they just don't know.

So I've discovered that when my wife was dropping my kids off with me, when it is her day to have them, so she could go get some "chores" done, apparently "chores" = hookup with her new piece of ass.
Mother of the Year material right there.
And she wonders why she is losing the kids emotionally. Maybe because they apparently don't rank above the new boy toy.
I don't know this woman anymore.
Wait, how many days does she have them, anyway? And how did you find that out? Did she tell you? That's a weird thing to do.
Harpoons (http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Kishock_Harpoon_Gun) are badass.
All arguments to the contrary are made by liars, those with bad aim and people shot by harpoon guns themselves, who (inexplicably) survived to tell the tale.
Is finals week starting now.
I'm putting the hustle on, and hoping to get my thesis prospectus in on Friday instead of next Monday so I have time to pick up the graded paper before I leave for Tampa. This is the last time I take more than 12 credits per semester. Ever.
I'm taking eighteen right now. that's been an adventure. Speaking of school, I am going to be SO glad when I'm done with this essay. Carlos Fonseca is not my favorite revolutionary and I am deathly tired of Nicaragua right now.

I'm taking 15 next quarter. An intro to studio arts I should not have to take, a course on American Poetry, with my Lit professor from this ending quarter, and the dread beast calculus. I think the poetry class if going to be my hardest class next quarter.
Also, I have one final, on Wednesday, for precalc.
Coyote, fucking SlackingTM it up by rewriting basic DnD.
AND THE FALSE SLACK OF VIDYA GAMES CALL TO ME!!!!! :argh!: :argh!: :argh!: :argh!:
Aaaaaaaaaaand I just got in another hospital bill for a total of 3. Apparently, the doctor that looked at my ultrasound, yet didn't take the time to show me he/she existed still wants to get paid.
Now I understand why people with serious medical bills often kill themselves, funerals are cheaper than this shit.

Good lord. I've done 18 units with a job before, but never a job plus responsibilities like yours.
It would be super nice if details in the books I've been reading matched up. I mean, really basic details, like where the dictator went when he went into exile.

I'm only doing it because four of the classes I'm taking, combined, are only like two challenging classes. This is probably the last term I take four classes, though.

Also, allegedly, a KGB agent.
If you can believe Mitrokhin, at least. I know a lot of the American intelligence/academic community do not...but MI6 apparently felt he had enough goods to exfiltrate his family from Russia, after the end of the Cold War.
Curious. I'll have to investigate that.
It's entirely possible the archive is a British-aided invention, designed to smear the Labour Party for its socialist views and previous hostility to the intelligence services. It does name quite a few Labour members as Soviet agents, and it was the British Conservative Party's leadership who allowed for Mitrokhin's exfiltration.
But then you get into the whole question of what is disinformation and what is real information designed to make you swallow the dinsinformation.
Which archive?
The Mitrokhin archive.
The story is, supposedly, that a KGB agent by the name of Vasiliy Mitrokhin dun fucked up, and was exiled to a desk in the KGB First Directorate for his troubles. The archives, specifically.
Shocked by the outrages that the KGB had perpetuated on the Russian peoples, he took to secretly transcribing the archive. For decades he scribbled away and, when the Iron Curtain fell, he made overtures to the Americans and then the British for asylum and to publish his book, so Russians could be aware of how mistreated they had been by the Sword and Shield of the Party.
Only, there are a few problems with that story. Such as his apparent free-roaming of the archives, having so much spare time to transcribe (not even photocopy) the files in question, waiting until after the end of the Cold War to alert foreign intelligence agencies, the lack of interest shown in him by the FSB and so on.
Aaah. Okay. Yeah, that sounds, hmm, fishy.
I need to get my sleep schedule back on track. This is crazy.
Seems like I get my contract at work extended by 6 months. If this means I will get better paid, I'm going to sit the shit out of my office chair.
If not, I'll just sit in it normally, while I actually get some work done.
Bwahahaha.
There is a petition on BSN to get me banned. Why? Suggesting the Firebase Rio special hazard be Duran Duran singing "Rio" at random moments. Apparently I am giving the devs terrible ideas.

BSN is a stupid place on a daily occasion. And besides, the mods won't ban me for that, so they can whine all they want.
On the bus yesterday there was an East African who drank liquor, smoked, rambled incoherently about The Rolling Stones, called the police claiming that three men had just threatened him with a knife, and then just walked away from the bus stop before the cop car that was supposed to meet him there had come. Local buses are fun.

Sounds like our bus system. We even have East Africans, and loads of them...But they aren't ever a problem, at least not so they'd stand out. No, the problem seems to be across the board, ethnicity-wise.
Also, *I* have been known to drink heavily and ramble incoherently about the Rolling Stones. On this very board, I'll have you know.

Final #2, done! Final #3 at 8am tomorrow. Gonna put a bunch of beads in my Etsy store and then spend a couple more hours math homeworking. I really really really need to do over 90% on this final.
Hi...
I miss my friends.
Sorry I've returned.
:? What.
So waaay done. With everything.
Not better.
Been fighting.
Lonely.
No interbutts at My House.

I think I just created a horrible abomination in my fridge for dinner tomorrow.
Wife suggested I get some chicken or steak thawing for vindaloo.
I think to myself "hrm...thawing overnight in the fridge....might as well toss random crap in with it." So I now have roughly 2 pounds of steak marinating/thawing in vinegar with an unholy collection of spices, peppers and garlic.
Get the Earth Mastery Banner, they said. 10 extractions with each of the DLC characters, they said. Hardly difficult at all, they said.
Well you guys try carrying an entire team when you're a Demolisher with no points in your fitness tree, because you want to be able to spam grenades over the landscape like a lunatic. You do that, and watch your time wipe out in seconds, refuse to use medigel before being executed and generally act like arses, and then do the whole thing by yourself, with a character liable to break if caught in a strong wind, never mind get unloaded on by cannons on the other side of the battlefield.
I'm putting this lot in my Notebook of Shame: PUGs to never play with again. I don't often do that. I don't even whine about PUGs like most of the BSNers. I like showing newbies the ropes.
The only guy who might get an exemption is the Drell Adept. His N7 rank suggests he isn't entirely useless, but he was equally hamstrung by our team mates and having a low level character into the bargain. Glass cannons, those Drell...in his case, with the emphasis being on glass.

Nice - that was an interesting read
This whole thesis writing thing has been an interesting experience so far. Granted, my undergrad work is not as extensive as what my graduate work will be as we're limited in length and time, but applying such a scientific method to writing history is very fascinating to me. Plus, the amount of sources that just APPEARED in front of me by just sifting through biblios is wicked exciting.
I know I'm spooging nerdiness all over the board right now, but this is kind of fun!

Good luck, everyone! This is a tough year for everyone, it seems. My Latin final is scary. SCARY.
Starting to get a touch of tonsillitis from the stress, too, so I'm loading myself with vitamins to keep it from getting worse. I know it's not strep, because I'd be sick as a dog by now. These suckers should have come out when I was like, 4, but nooooo, they don't like doing it anymore (and with good reason.) So I still get tonsillitis at least twice a year. There's nothing I can do but soothe them and let it pass. :argh!: Green tea usually does the trick.
Pretty sure I nailed that test. Hopefully I nailed it hard enough to make up for the middling B I got on the second midterm. I had a weak A up until then, but I got like 85 on that test. My assignments have been 99 and 100% since then, and if I did as well as I think I did on this one (knock on wood) hopefully I made it back up to an A for the final grade.
I've started to notice an interesting pattern with me and my grades. If the teacher is a straight female or gay male, I get an A. Consistently. If it's a straight male or lesbian, I get a B. Consistently. It could be coincidence, but what really stands out for me is that I got a B on the second midterm in a class I am otherwise pulling As in, and although the test was written and graded by the regular teacher, a straight woman, she was out the day of the test and a straight man subbed for her.
I think I've identified a neurosis!

If you're getting tonsillitis twice a year, you probably have a constant low-grade infection in your tonsils, and while GPs don't like to take them out anymore, you should be able to get a referral to an otolaryngologist who can do a much more accurate assessment of whether they should stay or go. It's just not an issue GPs have much experience with anymore, plus chronic tonsillitis presents differently later in life than it does with small children (the tend to swell upwards into the back of the throat rather than down into the throat) so they often miss severe chronic inflammation that calls for removal.
If you are getting tonsillitis more than once a year, and if you ever find yourself coughing/gagging up little white/tan/gray nuggets from the back of your throat, you should probably get a referral. That shit can impact your overall health so much more than many people realize. Since I had mine out, I rarely get sick, and never to the degree that I did before. Plus, if you have sinus problems, they can often correct those at the same time. Healing is a bitch, but it's less of a bitch than getting sick all the time.

Yeah, they get stones from time to time, though not nearly as often as they did when I was a teen. I was told by my doctor a few years ago that it's, "Harmless, just uncomfortable." :/
Apparently chronic tonsillitis is more common than I thought it was. I mean, they're huge as it is from just the scar tissue over the years. When I was at the hospital for my stomach the nurse was like, "Is your throat sore? Because your tonsils are massive." Once I told her they were scarred, she was like, "Yep, we see a lot of adults with it."
You seem to have been there though, so you know what I mean. No, it won't kill us, and I KNOW that the surgery will reduce me to eating popsicles only for a month and probably keep me from work/school for a week or two, but FFS. I'm 30, and I've been dealing with this since I was a toddler. Enough is enough. I remember my mom calling my doctor several times and going, "She's sick again, can you take them F*ing out already?" I'm thinking it'll be worth the month of pain than this shit over and over again. Thanks for the advice.
Just got an email from myself from more than three years ago.
Wish I could write back and traumatise that stupid hippie with how the future is going to work.
ugh. I hate taking a final and totally drawing a blank on problems. Oh well. I know I didn't bomb it and I'm expecting at least a b in thatclass.
All my finals are next week. And also almost all on Thursday. Ai. Going to school tomorrow even though it's dead days and the library will be crammed to the gills. Think I'll find myself a cafe for next week, though. It will be horrific.
Also, yay coyote! Good luck, Nigel and Suu!
I'm reaching critical mass, here.
Cramming the history of the Varangian Guard from the 9th century to the 4th Crusade in 6 pages double spaced is no easy feat. Now I'm comparing the primary authors I used, followed by the secondary. Navyguy has told me to quit for the night and says I can bring it with me this weekend to his mom's house. The paper isn't due until Monday, but I've been chopping at it all day to get it done so I wouldn't have to worry about it all weekend, but apparently that was a bad idea. Tomorrow I have to write 2 short essays and prep rote memorization for the final I have (short answer. You pick a name and give a paragraph about the dude for 10 dudes.)
It's Friday I'm starting to panic about, because between the prospectus and the essays tomorrow, I'm running out of time to study effectively for Latin, hence why my history books were taken away from me tonight. :(
On the bright side, my tonsils are no longer the size of golf balls. I found the cause of the reaction and took care of it.

I often find that when I feel like I bombed something, I did better than I thought I did. That doesn't ALWAYS happen, but you probably did fine. Partial credit is good, because that way the professor usually can tell that you tried.
Good luck on the finals, y'all.

Also, there is a reason I don't talk social issues or politics with TBSD. Apparently, hoping for 50% of the legistlature to be women someday in the name of equal representation makes me a sexist bigot. :horrormirth: :tgrr:
I don't even WANT to work anymore. My brain left for Florida last week.
On top of these two essays and studying for tonight's test, I need to go pay rent the next hill over, which requires me to either carry an automatic weapon should I walk, or take the bus, and I REALLY don't have time for either.
Actually #2, I have broken my rule of not praying and/or thanking the gods due to newGF. I'm a lucky lucky man
Well, this place is quiet today.
Not now. At least on my end. I have a follow up appointment about the sleep apnea but because of bus schedules a twenty minute appointment means i sign out for two hours. Even though the bus ride is about fifteen min.
Also i suspect this means im eating at a 711 in brighton :lulz: :vom:

Why is it so much harder to write a short essay than a fucking thesis?!

It is quiet here, for once. If you listen closely, you can barely hear the groans of structural supports torquing in the wind, toward eventual collapse in this mess of a plant in this desolation on the edge of what we call a city. To cut the silence, I am listening to Elton John's
Postcards from Richard Nixon, which sort of helps.

Really? That's sad. I ordered pizza to my library all the time, when I was in college. The head Librarian took a 'pizza tax' slice but otherwise it was cool. I'm sorry. :(
Lol, a pizza tax slice? I kind of love it. What'd you get a degree in?
I'm contemplating just losing the spot. It's my favorite, but it's not like there aren't other seats I like.

I didn't. I was in for pre-vet medicine. My program lost its accreditation and then I had a psychotic break and then it was 9/11/2001 and I was in a semi headed for Iowa and my parents were on their way to my college in PA to "SAVE MAH SOUL FROM DER DEBIL!" and it got a little confusing for a few years, there.
I keep meaning to go back, but I'm broke and lazy.
OIC.

I went to work with a silly 'Santa loves me' badge that I found on Mrs Mang's bookcase. Think she got it at J C Penny. Anyway, someone sees the badge and says "Hey, that looks really cool...what does it say?" She squints to look and reads it "Santa loves me!"
I look at her quizzically and say "Santa? I thought it said Satan. I was given this by a coven of dyslexic devil worshippers."
My work colleague fell about laughing, but the woman concerned failed to get the Santa/Satan gag and didn't know what dyslexic meant. Joke roont.

Aww. No it didn't by the time they got to PA I was halfway to Iowa and by the time I got to Iowa, they decided I'd run off and joined a cult and thus my soul is forfeit forever. :P My mom still sends me an e-mail once in awhile to tell me if I don't get baptized I'm going to hell. So I send her one back reminding her that I baptized myself with some home-made holy water and not to worry, the forest spirits will shelter my soul when this fleshy prison can no longer contain my soul. :lulz:

According to my priestly friend, anyone is entitled to perform a baptism. As long as it includes water, marking the cross and the phrase 'Father, Son & Holy Spirit/Ghost' it counts. [I'm less sure about saying 'Big Daddy, Junior & The Spook' but I can always ask him this weekend.]
I don't whether this will satisfy your mother, but as far as my seminary trained gnostic friend is concerned, you are good to go.

I didn't use the cross or father, son, stuff; I'm afraid. I'm a pagan. I called upon the Goddess :P Then I used the holy water to asperge my bedroom and water the plants. I told my mom the rest to drive her crazy. I was 19 at the time. It worked like a champ.
I was gonna put all my euro charm beads online, but I ended up mostly fucking off instead, and now I have just enough time to do my shipping and then it's time to go take the foster kids I'm coaching bowling.
I guess I can do it this weekend.
:lulz: That's hilarious, CPD.
Whelp, I did exactly three things on my to-do list, all of which require practically no effort. I need to step on this shit. Food and reading, in that order.

You'll probably make as much as you do now, and sure you have to pay most of it back, but the upside is that you'll be able to afford to.

You should qualify for exactly the same level of aid that I'm getting. They don't give you more for being black or having kids. My single, childless, white male friend gets exactly, to the dollar, the same aid I get. We also get the Oregon Opportunity Grant, which is an extra $1000 per year for being poor. Whoo.
Needless to say, that makes it significantly less easy for me to go to school than it makes it for him. :lol: But hey, I'm the one who decided to have kids BEFORE going to college.

Your state may have educational aid for single parents... Oregon doesn't, so I'm living off Federal financial aid plus the OOG. The one area in which I get more assistance because of having kids is food stamps, which I wouldn't actually need if I didn't have kids.

In addition to being a guest bartender while in Florida, I'm also going to be a guest Taekwondo instructor at my sister's school. Apparently she's having a hard time with the kids she teaches, since prior to her arrival, the school was a bit loose with the rules, unlike my sister and I getting the popcorn blocks for knuckle push-ups and dirt kicked in our faces when we screwed up. (Apparently parents get upset when instructors do such things now.)
So. She told them I was mean.

There's this one 16 year old junior black belt girl who called my sister a bitch behind her back to one of the parents, and my sister found out.
Lessee....Junior black belt calling a 3rd dan a bitch? Yeah, we've been given special permission by the head instructor to lay down the law, which will hopefully teach her a valuable lesson in humility to senior black belts. Please to note I have not really vigorously trained in TKD now for a while because of a knee injury, so this is kind of unexpected. I figured I'd show up and help with the little kids and color belts, not have to teach junior black belts to respect some authoritay.
I'm doing that drunk thing where I'm listening to myself again.
I was not a bad soloist. Need to start shredding again. Don't know quite how I became a rhythm player again. But at last band meeting we agreed that tonewise I was better suited for that and lead playing. Pat's got a chunkier tone which is more suited to chords.
IT'S KINDA FUNNY THAT I EASE PEOPLE'S PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR A LIVING AND CANNOT ACQUIRE MEDICAL CARE TO ADDRESS MY OWN.
KINDA FUCKING HILARIOUS.

Lol, a pizza tax slice? I kind of love it. What'd you get a degree in?
I'm contemplating just losing the spot. It's my favorite, but it's not like there aren't other seats I like.
I didn't. I was in for pre-vet medicine. My program lost its accreditation and then I had a psychotic break and then it was 9/11/2001 and I was in a semi headed for Iowa and my parents were on their way to my college in PA to "SAVE MAH SOUL FROM DER DEBIL!" and it got a little confusing for a few years, there.
I keep meaning to go back, but I'm broke and lazy.
Financial aid, dawg.
You'll probably make as much as you do now, and sure you have to pay most of it back, but the upside is that you'll be able to afford to.
Plus, way less bullshit to deal with. Your job sounds like it's full of idiots and ass. Not in a good way.
Yeah. I don't qualify for a whole lot of aid since I'm a single, white, childless woman in Georgia but I'm looking into it. :)
You should qualify for exactly the same level of aid that I'm getting. They don't give you more for being black or having kids. My single, childless, white male friend gets exactly, to the dollar, the same aid I get. We also get the Oregon Opportunity Grant, which is an extra $1000 per year for being poor. Whoo.
Ooooh really? Hmm. That is not what I have heard here. But then most of that has been get single-mothers-back-in-school-NAO! type stuff.
Your state may have educational aid for single parents... Oregon doesn't, so I'm living off Federal financial aid plus the OOG. The one area in which I get more assistance because of having kids is food stamps, which I wouldn't actually need if I didn't have kids.
Yeah. PA does, too. One of my brothers knocked up his girlfriend so she could get money to go to school. Then she took the money and didn't go so he knocked her up again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
My "nope" detector is pinging. That rings heavily of partially-understood information relayed through a game of telephone. Tax credits work that way, student financial aid doesn't. At all. Anywhere. If you take financial aid and don't go to school, or fail your classes, you are ineligible for more aid until you jump through some serious hoops.

Oh (pending) Saint Nigel, in the name of our Lord Jesus, grant me the vision and lack of Irish Catholic work ethic to finish CDGASM by... oh let's say... Bealtaine. If I get it done prior to Ash Wednesday, we'll consider a plenary indulgence without prior confession for all involved. This means of course that all involved can die on the same day and go straight to the exclusive country club. You're way cooler than St. Kateri Tekawasomething in Algonquin.

I have to get to the city centre to get Xmas gifts or else i'll have to go tomorrow and that will mean exhaustion and panic attacks and no Xmas social with my femininjas type fun for me..
Pulled almost all-nighter with Latin last night, now I look like I got both of my eyes punched in. Figures, Navy Christmas Party tonight, and I gotta meet his darn family tomorrow. On the bright side, a night in Upstate NY is not Providence, so it may help my stress levels.
Pulled an all-nighter last night too.
Today is the last day of term, though.
Today is also the start of OPERATION ALAMO. The glitchiest map in the game, your team has to survive five rounds, as a group. Epic BSN whinefest concerning that. You mean a team game may require teamwork, what is this heresy? I could cheese this and do the entire match as a solo Krogan Vanguard, but fuck it, I'm gonna do it legit. Turian Sentinel, Mattock and Scorpion Pistol. Let's do this thing.
My brain hurts.
No really, I have the beginnings of what could become an epic migraine post-exam. So I'm sitting here in the student coffeehouse with a hot chai and trying to relax until my train to New London.

My math study buddy texted me to let me know that she took her final today (she got to take hers separately, because she has a learning disability and because she also attends Marylhurst and had some kind of conflicting-thingy) and told me that the teacher told her that we took the top two scores in the class.

Thanks Nig!
Also, I hope to be a more prevalent uncle. Difficult, considering the distance between Boston and Wilmington (the one in Delaware, not Massachusetts :wink:)
But it does bother me that I've never met my nephew and the last time I saw my 8 year old niece was when she was about 4 years old.

My math study buddy texted me to let me know that she took her final today (she got to take hers separately, because she has a learning disability and because she also attends Marylhurst and had some kind of conflicting-thingy) and told me that the teacher told her that we took the top two scores in the class. Yay!
Victoire!
I like being good at math. It's hella stroking for my ego.
Final grades are coming out.
3.4 in my American History class in which I did not read the books.

Nice score! Huzzah for being done with it. :)
I had a great history teacher so it was pretty cool. He'd tell us which parts of the textbooks were bullshit and what actually happened or was at least more likely to happen - and why the textbook lied.

Congrats!
Grassy ass!
I wonder what this one's going to be. Kidmidsister1 is Hindu, Kidmidsister2 is Jewish.
Wiccan.
Kidding! That's a good question. It's cool they've got options, though.
I wouldn't mind if she ended up Wiccan. I was Wiccan too. Hell, when I am practicing Paganism, my rituals take a Wiccan format.
Everyone has options, otherwise I'd be a Catholic (oh wait... whoops). It just happens that Kidmid1's father is named Ranji, and Kidmid2's father is... well, he's got the same first name as me, so I reckon his father is Irish and his mother is Jewish. He's also a dumbass, which I hope didn't get grafted onto my nephew's genome. Kidmid3's father is named Javier, so, probably Catholic.
Also, Midsister needs to start paying attention to her religion a bit more. If abortion is wrong, then so is premarital sex. Doesn't apply now, Javier is my brother-in-law. Never met him either though. Actually we didn't know she was getting married until she already was.

I only like history as a means to provide some context for the fiction I some times indulge in, or to better inform my understanding of knightly armored combat, or to piss of the DM/players of any table top RPG I might be playing in.
'What do you mean my assitant put my pants on backwards? I'm not wearing pants and plate armor doesn't work like that. Also does this armor come with a bascinet or a sallet?" :lulz:

Heh. None of my siblings are married and two of them have kids.

Now the oldest of the boys and his girl have a place a few towns over but the other one has broken up with his girl and it's a mess ripe for Springer. And there aren't really any options religion wise, in our town. Shit, until I went to college I believed that pagans were extinct, like dinosaurs. Brainwashing was interesting, even for those of us who didn't go to church at all.

I knew other Pagans in high school. Matter of fact I was Pagan when I took my Confirmation- which I did because I was expected to :adds to list of sins to confess:
The rest of it sounds messy, sorry to hear it.
Midsister's been pregnant 5 times. 5 fathers. 2 miscarriages. I remember that being an exasperated joke between my mother and me- her first pregnancy/miscarriage was when she was 18, and we were like, "dude, get an abortion. Also break up with asshole. Also, wear condoms" and she was like, "no, abortion is wrong. I'm Catholic." Mom and I shared a lot of facepalming around that time. Anyway, Jesus aborted that for her. And thankfully so. That father was not only a dumbass also, but abusive to boot.

The rest of it sounds messy, sorry to hear it.
Midsister's been pregnant 5 times. 5 fathers. 2 miscarriages. I remember that being an exasperated joke between my mother and me- her first pregnancy/miscarriage was when she was 18, and we were like, "dude, get an abortion. Also break up with asshole. Also, wear condoms" and she was like, "no, abortion is wrong. I'm Catholic." Mom and I shared a lot of facepalming around that time. Anyway, Jesus aborted that for her. And thankfully so. That father was not only a dumbass also, but abusive to boot.
Sounds like she's taking the long road but she's making progress on it.
She is. I think.
Again, she's several states over. Though, she assures me that Javier and I would have a lot in common.
Well that should make for an interesting meeting, then, yeah? Something to look forward to . . . cautiously. :P
She's also basing this assessment of how she knew me approximately 10 years ago. :lulz:
I'm sure he's fine. Though I don't know why she broke up with Ranji. I liked him.

I'm an uncle again. My parents now have the same amount of grandchildren as children. Replacement rate at 1 for 1.
Congrats!
Grassy ass!
I wonder what this one's going to be. Kidmidsister1 is Hindu, Kidmidsister2 is Jewish.
Wiccan.
Kidding! That's a good question. It's cool they've got options, though.
I wouldn't mind if she ended up Wiccan. I was Wiccan too. Hell, when I am practicing Paganism, my rituals take a Wiccan format.
Everyone has options, otherwise I'd be a Catholic (oh wait... whoops). It just happens that Kidmid1's father is named Ranji, and Kidmid2's father is... well, he's got the same first name as me, so I reckon his father is Irish and his mother is Jewish. He's also a dumbass, which I hope didn't get grafted onto my nephew's genome. Kidmid3's father is named Javier, so, probably Catholic.
Also, Midsister needs to start paying attention to her religion a bit more. If abortion is wrong, then so is premarital sex. Doesn't apply now, Javier is my brother-in-law. Never met him either though. Actually we didn't know she was getting married until she already was.
Heh. None of my siblings are married and two of them have kids. For awhile all my brothers lived at home with our parents - my sibs are all in their late twenties - and their baby mamas all lived at home with THEIR parents and the babies got passed back and forth. Now the oldest of the boys and his girl have a place a few towns over but the other one has broken up with his girl and it's a mess ripe for Springer. And there aren't really any options religion wise, in our town. Shit, until I went to college I believed that pagans were extinct, like dinosaurs. Brainwashing was interesting, even for those of us who didn't go to church at all.

Three arsonists have been expelled from the school and the accomodation, including the one who foolishly assaulted me last year.
Now we just have to get rid of our thief, but he's digging his own grave anyway, and like Napoleon said, you should never interfere with an enemy intent on committing suicide.

Man I am feeling twelve different flavors of anxiety and gut churning nervousness. Stress. I dunno, I feel bad. Its been severely cold unusually early and I haven't had exercise for probably two months, my glands are probably just attacking me.
Just finished watching Anvil! The Story of Anvil.

Yes and yes. Offically being named suspects in the case was what the school needed to kick them out. Two have already fled to Ukraine, and the third is unknown.
The one who assaulted me is a hilariously bad liar, too. He insisted he had never been to the building since he was banned last year, despite being on CCTV and positively identified by no less than seven different people.
Off the top of my head it looks like it makes sense for me take a mathematics minor so as to fulfill my quota of 180 credits and my quota of 45 credits of upper divisional coursework.

The only difference is whether they've managed to make any charges stick yet.
Seriously though, this place is considered the "last chance" for a lot of students. In addition to being well known as a hippie college for arty types who wont be able to hold down a real job, as cleaning, cooking or getting up before 14:00, "deprives them of creativity".
All gonna change though. And besides - other boarding schools already wonder how the hell we even manage this place. That means my CV is gonna look awesome when I do leave.
Back home from seeing Devin Townsend and Fear Factory. Alrightish sets from both, but lacking from neither really doing a full head liner show.
What was noticeable was how determined HMV are to dig their own grave. £20 for 3 pints does not fly in manchester. Nor does £5 for a single jack and coke. That's the first gig in a while where I've seen more people walk away from the bar than get shafted.
Sitting in a farmhouse in the middle of Upstate New York. I've never, in my entire life, seen a night so dark. It's freezing raining, so there's no stars, but holy shit, dark.
Navyguy's stepdad was considering shooting deer out the bathroom window in the cornfield out back earlier today, also. Apparently that's a tried and true method round these parts.
I'm feeling a significant culture clash, here.

Somewhere between Herkimer and Utica that isn't Ilion but some unnamed place outside of Ilion, it's just where the mail goes. So I'm told.
When Navyguy was driving, we got off the highway and got further and further away from people, I was wondering if he was taking me out into the mountains to murder me. :eek:

If they have pigs on the farm, they've got a sure-fire way to get rid of your body. :P Also, re: shooting from the bathroom window - out in the country, so long as you ain't shootin' the neighbor's livestock or towards the highway, it's all gravy.

Morning after the Christmas party. Went better than expected.
Apparently to them white trash really means redneck, so I felt more comfortable at this party than the last couple.
The food was pretty much all my comfort food. Pigs in a blanket, mac-n-cheese, fried bologna, spam, bbq little smokies....
Which apparently the hostess and her family don't really normally eat.
I had one wine cooler, which promptly made me tired as hell and I took a short 5 minute nap (thankfully with husband nearby). Didn't drink another one. At least they now believe me when I told them that alcohol makes me tired, so I won't have to worry about being bugged next year. Oh, and tried one vodka infused gummi bear. The gummi part was fine, but good god how can anyone drink that stuff?!

And honestly, that you know what I do and in what state I work would be enough if you know what you are doing. I'm a fairly prominent person in the field in this state now. Not to mention prevention, or any kind of social work/social services tends to be a female-dominated field.
But at this point I'm more concerned with IRL in my circles connecting me to this site, just because most people wouldn't get ehat this site is about, or used to be about, and jump to some stupid conclusions.

Too much work, not enough incentive. It could take fifteen minutes to half an hour or even more to find someone knowing nothing but their state and field of work. There's no point to it. But the column was interesting and you provided enough info to go directly to it.

I hear ya, Hirley0. Annotated bibliographies hurt my brain. Bedtime, I can finish tomorrow morning and buzz this down to campus with plenty of time to spare since the paper is done.
So, I'm playing pathfinder regularly, with my wife, and my cavalier's horse fumbles a hoof attack, badly, and breaks a leg. I'm fixing to just walk, or ride a giant ant, and hope that some infernal princeling will have someone on staff to heal my horse enough for me to not be gimped too badly. The DM suggests before setting up camp for the night to ask for divine intervention, which in hindsight is probably a bad idea now, so I do, and my wife's character, and the rest of the party, except for the heretical wizard. Nothing happens, or so we thought. During the night, some fucking god of shadow and evil strolls through the camp, kills my horse, brings it back as a proto-nightmare, and marks me and my gear with his symbol.
My vengeance for this? Taking a level of oracle of nature, because the god of horses and riding horses and stuff, who must have been busy when I asked him for help, cursed me and wants me to un-nightmare-ify my horse. I forsee much lulz and tragedy in the future. Especially when my cavalier starts cursing in demon languages in combat. Next stop? Visiting some celestials for purposes of treaties. And I am the least evil person the party.
I volunteered at a charity event tonight for the nonprofit FBF works for, which meant that I spent most of my evening standing next to Gus Van Sant.
I got to chat with some Hatfields, and also with FBF's very attractive and (semi) newly single friend/co-worker who I have met before but not seen for several years. Also a very charming young redheaded fellow with a lovely speaking voice and his adorable girlfriend, and several other enjoyable sorts.
I also got to stand outside in the rain for 45 minutes in order to secure space for the spotlight truck to park. I have never gotten such dirty looks as running into traffic on Hawthorne with plastic chairs to block off parking spots.
I had two glasses of champagne and a tiny cheesecake. God that tiny cheesecake was good.

I've realized that I like horrible music.
I was going to make a playlist of the most annoying music I could to blast in the car and inoculate my kiddos with, because I realized that I am immune to the detrimental effects of the worst offenders, such as 'mmm-bop', 'barbie girl', 'macarena', etc.
So I did a search for the most hated music, and on a good number of polls were songs that I actually like. A good amount.
So I like horrible music, and I'm not sure what to do with this epiphany.

i listened to it when you posted that link earlier. it was pretty good as a tool for annoying, but since it's a medley, it doesn't fit neatly in my 'good songs that everyone hates' bucket. it seems like a device more than anything. a SCIENCE tool. an acoustic pithing needle, if you will.

Not marriage counseling or abuse counseling (although given the song, that's debatable), but counseling on the ability to spontaneously hum a Hanson song without becoming violently ill, which indicates a deep-rooted mental problem that will probably end in parts of Texas burning down.

Okay guys, here's the thing you need to know about Hanson. It's important that you learn this before it goes any further.
Before 1995 there was no Hanson. Their debut album was titled "Middle of Nowhere" because that's where Nigel went to build them. Sure, you read about a pre-MMMBop history of the band, touring inconsequential festivals with immemorable covers of the hits of yesteryear... but how many bands does that describe? It's easy to fill in the blank faces of people you forgot about with the more memorable faces of the Hanson brothers.
Knowing what I do, I am hesitant to advise that anyone investigate persons reported missing in Tulsa in 1993 and the source code behind the software I used to simulate patchwork faces built of features from these missing was stored on disks now ground down to scrap and set in concrete. My evidence, therefore, cannot be communicated directly (this is by design) but I am told that the truth of it can be seen in my eyes when people ask "what ever happened to Hanson?"
Now, I will be direct, because the speakers of my computer are starting to hum and I know that soon they will begin to play that song. I have done all I can to combat it. My attempts to use similar technology have been minimally successful, resulting in only a small number of novelty attempts at "stopping the bop" (http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500202_162-838253.html).
The Hanson brothers are flesh puppets animated by Nigel's will. It is possible that she does not remember constructing them, but I have diary entries written to inform myself that I have seen photographs of her workshop. It is complicated to give myself information such as this as the song requires that information about it be forgotten and destroyed. I will not detail the metamusic I have had to construct to remain this aware. She may even have allowed herself to be exposed to this element of its abhorrence, for plausible deniability should the truth ever come out.
The song was designed to be viral. It was almost totally successful. While there is a natural revulsion, a primal rejection of the thing, still it endures. The MMMBop referred to in the song is a unit of time. It is a flexible unit of time. Do you fully grasp the significance of this?
Perhaps not. Perhaps my detailed technical explanation of the thing is as subject to its editing as the appeals I have made on national news, as ignorable as my shaking strangers in the street begging them to notice.
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care?
Ooooh ok yeah.
Mmmbop, ba duba dop.
Ba du bop, ba duba dop.
Ba du bop, ba duba dop.
Ba du.
Yeah.
THAT'S WHY SHE DOESN'T KNOW! THAT'S WHY SHE CAN'T REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE!
Oh yeah.
In an MMMBop they're gone.
Yeah, yeah.
:lulz:
I... I see...
My warning has been reduced to comedy.
Then all hope is lost.
Can you tell me? Oh.
No, you can't, 'cause you don't know.
Can you tell me?
You say you can but you don't know.
oh, don't worry, paes.
they'll care.
when they lose their hair.
If only you understood the significance of that line. The animated Hansens can no longer grow hair naturally. They have to steal it an inch at a time from mesmerised fans. Now that the song is out there, they've been released from Nigel's direct control... half-men with half-lives and personal histories which they had to read about to remember. So much upkeep to maintain the illusion of life. So much effort to forget the nights they spend stalking the streets, humming the song to lure sleepwalkers out of their houses to steal hair and patches of skin for where their seams are starting to show.
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on to the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care?
Chorus:
Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du
Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows
no one knows
(Repeat Chorus)
In an mmm bop they're gone.
In an mmm bop they're not there.
In an mmm bop they're gone.
In an mmm bop they're not there.
Until you lose your hair. But you don't care.
(Repeat Chorus)
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me if it's going to be a daisy or a rose?
Can you tell me which flower's going to grow?
Can you tell me? You say you can but you don't know.
(Repeat Chorus)

Annnnnd the board died.
Because Cain killed them all. All the foolish slobs who didn't immediately scroll past that, while cranking up the volume on the 8 track player, thus allowing Burn Down the Mission to drown out the awful.
But given that the board has now been brutally murdered, I guess I'd better go find something to do.
Still at work man.

Quote from: Pæs on December 17, 2012, 08:04:27 PM
Okay guys, here's the thing you need to know about Hanson. It's important that you learn this before it goes any further.
Before 1995 there was no Hanson. Their debut album was titled "Middle of Nowhere" because that's where Nigel went to build them. Sure, you read about a pre-MMMBop history of the band, touring inconsequential festivals with immemorable covers of the hits of yesteryear... but how many bands does that describe? It's easy to fill in the blank faces of people you forgot about with the more memorable faces of the Hanson brothers.
Knowing what I do, I am hesitant to advise that anyone investigate persons reported missing in Tulsa in 1993 and the source code behind the software I used to simulate patchwork faces built of features from these missing was stored on disks now ground down to scrap and set in concrete. My evidence, therefore, cannot be communicated directly (this is by design) but I am told that the truth of it can be seen in my eyes when people ask "what ever happened to Hanson?"
Now, I will be direct, because the speakers of my computer are starting to hum and I know that soon they will begin to play that song. I have done all I can to combat it. My attempts to use similar technology have been minimally successful, resulting in only a small number of novelty attempts at "stopping the bop" (http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500202_162-838253.html).
The Hanson brothers are flesh puppets animated by Nigel's will. It is possible that she does not remember constructing them, but I have diary entries written to inform myself that I have seen photographs of her workshop. It is complicated to give myself information such as this as the song requires that information about it be forgotten and destroyed. I will not detail the metamusic I have had to construct to remain this aware. She may even have allowed herself to be exposed to this element of its abhorrence, for plausible deniability should the truth ever come out.
The song was designed to be viral. It was almost totally successful. While there is a natural revulsion, a primal rejection of the thing, still it endures. The MMMBop referred to in the song is a unit of time. It is a flexible unit of time. Do you fully grasp the significance of this?
Perhaps not. Perhaps my detailed technical explanation of the thing is as subject to its editing as the appeals I have made on national news, as ignorable as my shaking strangers in the street begging them to notice.
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care?
Ooooh ok yeah.
Mmmbop, ba duba dop.
Ba du bop, ba duba dop.
Ba du bop, ba duba dop.
Ba du.
Yeah.

Homeward. I feel like im going to be listening to a lot of heavy stuff at work this week.
I walk away from the boards for a few hours to get shit done and come back to Mmm, bopp?

Hey, it's Boston. The other guitarist is also a dual citizen. The drummer is the least Irish, and he's still a quarter Irish. He definitely makes up for us though in stereotypical Dagoism.
I am a little, just a smidge, bummed that Stare At The Sun was the weakest song, in her opinion, but hey, I'll admit it's a bit of a downer. It's supposed to be.
What am I doing?
I've sat up to two am discussing a topic that doesn't effect me personally nor probably ever will.
The other developer at work quit today which may mean my workload is about to go through the roof until a replacement is found which in and of itself isn't a problem.
I've been bleeding out my asshole for weeks on end at this point and I am starting to think I am becoming anaemic. The mouth ulcers I had that closed on friday opened today which pretty much confirms that they are just from stress. And i've been making a series of bad decisions, most likely including posting this.

Also, technically, McLaren is an iffy name. Villager isn't sure if she's Irish or Scottish. I think she defers to Irishness out of ambiguity as well as my strong, obvious heritage, as well as Bostonianism, but I'm pretty sure it's a Scottish name. Her father identifies as a Canadian who immigrated to the South. He sounds like a Southerner, even though he's not.
Twid,
giving away the gf's last name because again, links make it obvious.

Just hang some crucifixes on her. Either he'll think she's Catholic, or he'll think you've kidnapped Madonna. Either way, won't HE be impressed!
Oh. Twidgrandpa hates Scots.
I don't know why, but his hatred is manifested pretty easily.
I did mention to Grandma once that I was dating an Anglican and her response was "Oh. Well. You'll have other girlfriends."
I'm hoping its a religious thing because:
a)Scots and Irish are the same people
b) I'M part Scottish
c) Neither of us are Protestant (heh... still apostates)
d) That's my girl gramps. Fuck you if you don't like it.

She WAS Catholic. And, she supports me being temporarily Catholic. Matter of fact, she encourages it. She knows I'm on a journey and she's going to support me every step of the way, even if I'm sinning my ass off with her.
It is kind of a big deal to me though. I've only brought one other girlfriend to Ireland. Gramps didn't like her. At all. The only thing he said to her the 3 weeks we were in Clifden was "more potatoes?"
And I'm not shitting either. He ignored her that much, and that was the subject matter. He was doing the bare minimum of hospitality. But, oh, did I get an earful. And all because she decided to kiss me. She was too American, I guess.
I'm planning this trip in 2013 to the islands. And I want Villager to come with me, to meet Cain, and Pixie, and Payne, and Waffle Iron, and Lenin, and Regret, and hopefully Trip if anyone is still in contact.... Demolition Squid, Pent, and Faust. And then I can fuck off to Clifden...But Twidgrandpa's say might have more to do with it than I want.... I might have to skip Clifden, because I want, desperately, for Villager to understand my infatuation with Ireland. And she'll only see that in Connemara. So maybe, I have to be a couple of miles away from my grandfather and not see him at all.
So...
Hmmm...
My landlady came up not to long ago to check if we all just came in. Only one resident was unaccounted for but she was kinda freaked out. Faisal and I did a sweep of both units, and no one seems to have come in. All other residents say they've stayed put.

One of my NaNo buddies disappeared for awhile, last year, and I sent him a few e-mails wondering what was up. He never replied and I just let it go because it wasn't NaNo, it was summer, and he works insane hours and has a life.
Turns out he almost didn't. He popped up right before this NaNo, barely able to type. He'd had a massive stroke and had been retraining his body to do basic shit all this time. Part of his brain is mush. He can only now type reliably. He can't walk or dress himself yet.
What did he do last Friday?
Went and performed in a tuba Christmas concert. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cqBetzQxZQ)
My buddy is the guy on the far right in the green shirt with the blinky lights on his horn.
I am most definitely NOT teary-eyed about this at all.
That's pretty cool.
In a similar vein, this is a quadraplegic dude soloing ME3 multiplayer on Bronze.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tGoOrUocbE
He's also solo'd Silver level difficulty, and is a damn sight better than several team mates I had last night. Silver fight against Collectors = fail. Round 10 fail, to be sure, but fail nonetheless. Of course, if I hadn't had to revive myself three times in the previous round, I'd probably have had enough medigel to at least finish the objectives, so we could get paid. No extraction bonus pay is still significant, enough to make up for the lost consumables.
Although, that is probably a bit unfair to the team. We did blitz Reapers in the next game, despite it being Glacier and so close combat. Never go toe-to-toe with a Brute. Or a Banshee for that matter, though most people are sensible enough to run away when a Banshee comes knocking. Also, three of us were playing grenade dependent classes, so that caused a bit of friction at the end of each round. Clearly my grenades should take priority, as I can cause tech explosions and strip Banshee barriers. Nevertheless, 16 minutes later, everything was dead and I was less than 500 points from the top of the leaderboard. If I had just got that third over-cover grab....
Also, I seem to have gotten over my fatal, extraction round addiction to Phantoms, at least. No more sword-through-stomach executions for you! Admittedly, a Krogan Vanguard with the Reegar Carbine is overkill, but I refuse to recognize any other kind of kill. Maybe next time I have a decent connection, which wont be until after Christmas, I'll try this Asari Infiltrator Damage Cloak/Warp/Reegar/Incendiary Ammo beast everyone is talking about. It can apparently melt an Atlas in two clips on Gold, which is not insignificant damage output. That Warp and Incendiary effects stack, with a fast shooting weapon like the Reegar (or the particle rifle), you just cause everything to melt away.
Also badge has promised to take me on a tour of Gold level, which should be...interesting. My past experiences with Gold were not fun.

oh, ok. glad that's alright, then. :)
for future reference, you can't tell people that you're bleeding out your ass without, if not an explanation, at least a gloss over. :lol:
See the first time I bled out my asshole I thought it was a huge deal also. Turns out it's pretty common, really not much to worry about, and solves itself in about a week. I guess you just have a lot of blood vessels up there and stress or a particularly big turd can rip a few open and make you shit a bit of blood.

I went on a date with a short, hot Satanist tonight.
My heart just really isn't in this dating thing. :lulz:
I do think I might ask out FBF's employee though.
If that isn't too weird. He's pretty, timid, a financial analyst, and seems kinda gay, which is TOTALLY my type.
A timid financial analyst Satanist?
:lulz:
Well, I shouldn't laugh. I really shouldn't.
Nononono
The timid financial analyst isn't a Satanist, as far as I can tell.
Why do Satanists all have to do that thing with the goatee? Is it the Law?
It's the uniform. Anton LaVey designed it, and they all have to wear it.
it's a baphomet thing, isn't it? from the 19th century?

He's playing military marches right now. I am wearing a gas mask. My employees hate me. I try to explain what's going on, but they just look at me funny and then flee.
Nothing quite like being talked around. I'm just gonna collect up the three pieces I wrote, retool them for Scrubgenius, and then stay the fuck out of the school shooting thread.
I'm talking around everyone at the moment. Packing is surprisingly hard. I swear I had more clean clothes than this...
Got an 18 out of 20 on my prospectus! With my other coursework from the semester, I think I've got an A in the hardest undergraduate history class in my university. Now I just take the 10 pages I wrote already, Flesh them out to 40 pages, and I'll have my work done for next semester for the most part, but since I didn't seem to suck (She gave me a fair amount of sources and advice to follow up on) I don't see why I can't have the first draft of my undergrad thesis done before April 1. I'm feeling A LOT more confident going into the next term, now. :)
2 more finals tomorrow, I'm off to Florida.
I don't know and do not care one tiny bit if it is due to placebo effect, but the vit. C megadosing has kept multiple issues of various bad body things I'm check.

Also, jump ropes kick ass.

Look, I have an N7 rank of 600, I'm sporting one of the harder to get banners, I'm playing with a maxed out Uncommon Weapon and a Tier 3 blacklisted weapon, and a brand new character, with high level gear. I don't need someone on my arse every five minutes trying to micromanage the bloody battlefield.
Especially on Bronze.

I've been planking every morning and evening, and walking about 4 miles a day. I am also hitting the vitamin C pretty hard, and I think it's really helping with the healing. The old parts of my scar (where they didn't have to cut it back open to let the evil out) are already barely visible, but the new parts... well, that might be a different story. We'll see.
I don't know if I'm losing weight yet, but at least my stomach muscles are starting to firm up.

Oh, no, everything is very clean and beautiful here. It falls from the sky in the form of a sparking white Pandora's box of danger. It's very picturesque, with the bridges and the evergreens and the people panicking.
Every year, I try to explain to people who have just moved here from someplace where it actually snows. That stuff falling from the sky LOOKS like snow, but it doesn't really snow here. Sometimes people have to be here a few years before they experience it because it doesn't happen every year. I can't really describe what happens, except to say that as soon as it starts, people try to get home as fast as possible because everything can go really bad in the space of an hour.
There was one winter where we were trapped inside for a week because there was no even vaguely reasonably safe way to get to street level, and if I'd been able to get to street level it wasn't safe to walk.

TOO MANY HOLISTS. WHY CAN'T WE JUST HAVE ONE HOLISTIC HOLIST.
Party was not bad though i think my attraction to one of my coworkers might have been noticeable. Hopefully not. No pizza in the radio i just figured i could purge the madness later. Got a gift for villagers roommate in yankee swap.
Norway is different because it actually gets cold there, and the trees are used to it. You can drive around all willy-nilly, or even walk, in proper snow. That's why people who are from places that have real snow and it gets nice and cold are so unprepared for what happens here. The temperature very rarely goes below 28 degrees, and what happens sometimes is that it fluctuate rapidly between freezing and not-freezing, or the upper atmosphere will be warm and the lower atmosphere will be cold, so that rain falls and freezes when it hits the ground. You get solid sheets of ice that are wet on top. It's horrible. I think the Northeast gets this shit too, but they get proper frozen snow more often, so the first thing people do when it snows isn't panic and go home.
I tell people who come here from places where it snows not to drive in it, but they always scoff it off and think that it's just that Portlanders don't know how to drive in snow. So they try it, and wreck their cars. Luckily they don't usually make it as far as the river.
It isn't snow.

I have to go downtown today, and the threat of "snow" is hovering.
At least I'm taking the streetcar. I may have to stand in the cold for an hour as that thing follows no discernible schedule, but at least if it "snows" I won't die.
Does it actually snow in Portland, or does it just fall from the sky as polluted, grey slush?
THERE IS A BLACK CAR WITH ITS LIGHTS ON
followed by a blue car with its lights off
headed down Salmon st for the River
and only the sound of 1 chopper
in the sky: no sign of snow at 1:
Wind seams to be blowing
from the south? down 10th

Wow.
So, I have this different rate plan for massage than most people. Mostly because I cannot bill insurance and would like to help the uninsured afford to live pain free lives as well.
I charge $85 for the first massage in the month, and then that person (and one other person the choose spouse, SO, whatever) pay $35 per massage for the rest of the month for as many as they want.
This is an average savings of $110 per month. I take a big drop in profits, but I'm not really in it for that. Plus, i could charge $2000 for a massage, but it doesn't do me a dick-bit of good if no-one buys a single one. I get a lot of repeats this way. I stole the idea from a massage franchise company that pays their LMTs $10 per hour. HA!
Anyway, the point is this:
I just had a client cancel because they thought I said it was $35 for a whole month's worth of massage and realized their error. :lol: WTH?
evidently getting a 3.4 in american history is not good enough for some people.

So, I guess my cousin's oldest boy was taken away from her (by Child Protective Services, I am assuming) and given to his father at some point since Thanksgiving. Now Dad and wife don't want the boy anymore, and my aunt is at some sort of emergency meeting trying to get the boy back into my cousin's custody.
Let me repeat that. They DO NOT WANT him.
Two or three whole weeks, man. ERHMAHGERB, PARENTING IS SOOOOO HAAAAARD.

To which they replied, I don't know what that means.

Lot of crazy stuff going on, that happens all the time, but every once in awhile you just gotta stare and think 'WTF?' before going along your daily routine.
Salmon, if you believe certain Native Americans, is supposed to be a very wise critter.

Huh. THat's kinda cool. Finn MacCool got his magical powers of knowing after eating the Salmon of Knowledge.
(Which got their magical powers of knowing living in a particular magical well that had magical knowing hazelnuts drop into it. Don't ask me how the hazelnuts knew anything. It's magic. Well is now also known as the Shannon River because some chick named Shannon got too close and triggered its magical flooding and drowning powers. The Shannon River, near as I can tell, is no longer magical, unless airplanes are magic.)

Every year, I try to explain to people who have just moved here from someplace where it actually snows. That stuff falling from the sky LOOKS like snow, but it doesn't really snow here. Sometimes people have to be here a few years before they experience it because it doesn't happen every year. I can't really describe what happens, except to say that as soon as it starts, people try to get home as fast as possible because everything can go really bad in the space of an hour.
Every winter, flying unicorns poop all over Portland. While beautiful and spiritually invigorating, it makes the ground slippery, and causes people to drive like they've had 6 martinis for lunch.
:lulz: Something like that.
I have to admit that sometimes I kind of hope for freezing rain, so that I have an excuse to not go anywhere.
But I don't really hope for it, because the trees crushing things and the power outages and not having any heat in my house and having to live on whatever foods are in my pantry are not very fun.
Just think: In Norway1, they have to live like that all the time.
1 It's a Northern suburb of Belgium.
In Norway we have to make our own skis out of discarded fire wood and ski 100 miles just to get drunk and have a fight. This is during the summer, mind.
Somewhere in NJ. This place is a damn mess. :(
It's gonna be one of THOSE days, I see.
I think the problem is the time zone difference. I'm writing shit 3 hours behind, so responses take 6 hours. Like in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

That's nothing. One of my crew decided one day that curried brussel sprouts were not only a good idea, but they'd be better warm, so he used the I&E lab microwave to heat them up.

I don't understand why we have to have "time zones" at all, to tell the truth. It makes as much sense as having "month zones" so that people in Australia can have their summers in July and winters in January like proper people.
It would make so much more sense if we switched to a 24-hour clock and just used the same time everywhere. People would get used to it in a week.

I think it has more to do with David Vincent doing the whole Genitorturers thing for so long.
Then again, I do like industrial metal, and Destructhor is a pal, so I'm biased.
Old stuff is best, though. Covenant is one of my all time favorite Death Metal records
Fact: LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out is 10 times as metal as anything involving "wizard's dreams".
But...but...look at the ominous purple glow in the clouds. How is that not totally metal?

It's gonna be one of THOSE days, I see.
I think the problem is the time zone difference. I'm writing shit 3 hours behind, so responses take 6 hours. Like in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Comes from letting you fuckers have your own "time zones". FOOLS! Time runs at the same rate, no matter where on Earth you are (unless you're at the DMV or the doctor's office). You People need to STANDARDIZE. Get with the fucking program. It is currently 9:03 AM. Shut up.
I don't understand why we have to have "time zones" at all, to tell the truth. It makes as much sense as having "month zones" so that people in Australia can have their summers in July and winters in January like proper people.
It would make so much more sense if we switched to a 24-hour clock and just used the same time everywhere. People would get used to it in a week.

I know every metal band has to write one song about a fantasy novel but this is getting ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure Carcass has never written any fantasy tripe. Who, by the way, are recording and releasing a new album in 2013.
Worse even still roger. It seems like these bands are writing about fantasy novels they themselves authored but got rejected by publishers. So now they have to set it to guitars and keyboards and dont even have the good sense to mask their lyrics by growling them.
Carcass. Thats whose coming to work with me tomorrow.

A man walked into a doctors waiting room and saw a nun sitting there crying her eyes out, obviously very upset. When he went into the doctor he asked the good physician why the nun was crying so much. The doctor replied, "I told her she was pregnant." "Good grief," said the guy, "How can that be, since she is a nun?" "She isn't really," said the good doctor, "but it cured her hiccups."

Been in Principality South for a few hours now, traffic coming into Tampa was hell and hit our breaking point. It took 2 beers and two cups of coffee to stabilize.
Also: Did not die at South of the Border.
We're thinking of taking 3 days on the way back, not that we can't do it in 2, but we want to take our time and deal with the post-holiday traffic in stride, so we're thinking of doing some history pit stops. I want Savannah and DC, because it's been YEARS since I've been in either city for more than passing through, but it depends on accommodation opportunities and money, but for now, we're here.

Oh cool, Pæs and I just got to call the cops on a fistfight opposite our apartment.
Apparently, the guy who was instigating the fight thought the other guy was on drugs, or takes drugs, or something, IDK. And he really, really doesn't like people who take drugs. So he was slamming the possible drug-taker into a wall in the middle of the main drag, which is a perfectly rational response.
Though, within ten minutes of calling emergency services, there were five police officers on foot, plus a paddy wagon, there to sort it all out, so that's something.

I've been introducing Navyguy to the finer points of Floridian cuisine. Yesterday we had Cuban sandwiches, and today we had some alligator at lunch. He wants shark, but it's not carried much anymore, so my brother has offered to take him out on the boat to get one, but the water is below 70F right now, so fish are lethargic, and the dolphins are along the coast, which makes getting a shark difficult. There's apparently some sort of flounder infestation at the moment though, so that's probably going to be dinner the next time my brother goes out.
We have been here for 2 full days, and Navyguy has already repaired my dad's gas leaf blower, and bought them new components for the back fence for Christmas, since it's falling over and is currently supported by paracord and concrete blocks. ~_~ He's also making no attempts of rescuing me from my brother, other than the fact the new fence will be higher so throwing me over it into the rattlesnake-infested field impossible.
My sister has been re-hired by the MLB, so she's back to being a raving bitch who's too good for anyone because she works 3 jobs and sleeps with baseball players. On the bright side, Navyguy being here stops my mom from having to lament to me about her depression, and it's controlling my dad's temper.
Tomorrow is the annual Christmas Eve invasion of friends, family, neighbors, and anyone who walks by the party and wants a beer, and the day after Christmas I'm headed to Orlando to visit Squid.
It occurred to me today that the 11 year relationship I had with my "wife" has been bookended by the LOTR movie trilogies. Which is poetic in a way. She gave me a "One Ring" replica as an engagement ring, one of our first dates was seeing the first movie.
So I guess that means it's time for me to cast my ring back into the fiery chams from which it was made. I'm just worried she might chuck it back at my head.

Expect counter suit by Latoyah Jackson. Her lawyer just released the following:
"My client has absolutely no idea what's going, who Mr RWHN is or why he's persecuting her family. However, it sounds like VH1 could make a reality show about it. We just want to be litigious thereby letting the producers & network execs know we are available for work."

My mom used to pull that kind of shit on me all the time. She is, in fact, personally and directly responsible for my deep and abiding loathing of Christmas and is the reason I swore off it altogether. I associate Christmas with guilt-tripping, misery, and family drama.
The strange thing is that i enjoy spending time with my family.
It is just that the guilt tripping thing is annoying as fuck, if me saying 'no' is not an option, why ask at all?
Oh, and not unimportant: I like having a choice in where i will be on a specific date for the next 1000 years. In fact that is my main problem with these situations. No matter how much i like something, if i can see myself doing it for ALL ETERNITY WITHOUT ESCAPE i start resenting the repetition even if it hasn't repeated itself yet. Sysiphus' torture was not the weight of the stone, or the height of the hill or even the horrible pointlessness of it all(after all, that is hilarious). It was knowing that it would never end, regardless of what he did or thought.
Give sysiphus the option to walk away from the boulder but never being able to forget about it, always feeling responsible for getting that boulder up that hill, constantly being disappointed in himself for not rolling that boulder up the hill, and just knowing that his mom is very disappointed in him and you have an accurate description of my
personal hell life.

I got a vintage rapier for Xmas. A fucking rapier. Happy now.
That is cool!
I got a banjo, a bible and a huge bottle of mead. I'm quite happy now too.
I believe I'm getting money for books, which I will be using part of to buy a graphics tablet with Shoe Ears.
I fucking hate shoe shopping. I need new sneakers and my go-to style since, like, middle school seems to have disappeared. They're comfortable, they can survive years of me beating the living hell out of them, and they're simple enough I can wear them with anything, anywhere. WHERE DID THEY GO?
Is this going to be like lipstick, where if I like a pair I should buy three so I don't have to do this again for a decade?

Nice! I'm getting the rest of the prezzies tomorrow. Hoping for cash and a suit.
What kind of mead is it? Suttung or Valhall?
It's fucking cold. I hate the cold.
My studio is fucking cold as hell.
People want me to make stuff. I actually have the time to make stuff. But FUCK my studio is cold!
Villager also took up the sinterklaas tradition. We both got each other dalek related stuff and ended our respective poems with EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!!!!! :lulz:

I cant see rigers pic but i feel poor suddenly.
Villager also got my pyrex which i am very happy about.
My big plans were to get drunk on wine spritzers, go to bed early, and watch SyFy channel shows on Netflix. So I got all ready, and Netflix was down. After trying unsuccessfully to get either Hulu or Amazon Prime to stream, I gave up and went to sleep.
Now I'm awake. :crankey:
This was not the plan.

BEST OK CUPID MESSAGE EVER:
QuoteWoW! I remember that very same look within the eyes of the Rev. Jim Jones; and now it is the ObamaNation, followers. Only in Portland; within the Village of the Damned, can you so freely gather.
From http://www.okcupid.com/profile/TouchableHeart
I also got this one:
QuoteDear Pretty Girl, I have enjoyed reading your Profile, the creative ones are always more interesting, I have a feeling most Men whom you share yourself with, feel themselves to be fortunate, as you appear to be a very attractive Feminine Woman ( with lovely hair )(smile). If you should find me interesting I would love to have you with a cocktail in the near future to see if you connect? In the mean time I wish you, and those you love a very Merry Holiday and New Year. Sincerely, J---- B-------
What kind of cocktail do people usually have you with?
Well, so far Xmas Eve and Xmas have been pretty decent. But, it's pretty easy when you've got a couple of crazy, happy kids.
Quote from: Pippa Twiddleton on December 25, 2012, 01:36:00 PM

A Sea Breeze, if memory recalls.
It's been a fairly long time since someone had me with a cocktail.
Touchableheart follows up with:
QuoteOK... here's what I really was thinking. Both within your text and each picture several of us; yes... while I didn't see your profile first, you have been a point of conversation for many on OKC as they have said that they would pull their children closer, quietly warn friends to stay away and later fully expected to at a later time hear that you and your far-left friends were involved in a car bombing of a federal building, public school bus or church. Now why would you be proud of that?
As for your being a "Jim Jones": No... you are not a budding evil Jim Jones, but instead most likely just another mindless middle eastern follower who hates just because you can. And (((Yes))) I lost two good friends to the type of crap. In short: You frighten people and you want to join what profession... I don't think so. Ultimately, you picked the right town to come to, as Portland has become one of the most anti-American cities in America.
Way to woo a lady, sir.
Well. Looks like villagers brother still hates me. Meh. He put on a fine performance at the show then.
Whats being had with a cocktail like? I dont think anyones ever had me with a cocktail. Im fairly sure mom was sober at my birth.
Im going to use that phrase from now on though when i want to meet someone at a bar.

OK, "Touchableheart" needs to knock it off. Might I request that those of you with OK Cupid accounts send him some cryptic messages that reference the Illuminati? And possibly anal massage? http://www.okcupid.com/profile/TouchableHeart
Lol villagers been drunk while having me but never with a glass in her hand. She cant drink now but i might ask her ifi can have her with a cocktail. Martini perhaps. Lol
I would like three martinis, lined up and steady to go.
I'd like to take the time to say, as a father, that the absolute worst thing about Christmas is the children.
Christmas is for getting drunk and unloading your pent-up emotion splooge out of your whiskey-soaked word hole. Christmas is for getting tinsel stuck in other holes because who doesn't like to bang under a pine tree? Christmas is about screaming at people into an Applebees wearing a filthy Santa suit carrying a garbage sack full of soiled stuffed animals.
And thus no place for children.
Alty knows the true spirit of christmas
Aunt and cousins are visiting. Minor urban-rural tension, lots of discussion about wolf hunting policy, and light-hearted mockery because we know so few brands of rifles.

While I have said nothing that might lead you to "assume" anything like your strange response, all I was doing was referring to what several others had already said about you; Yes... too as I have to agree with them. Furthermore and rather oddly enough; as it is a small world, with your now added comments, I am pretty sure that you either actually personally know or at least, have heard of my ex-wife as she must be your peer ~ and what a blooming liberal nut case!
I will comment upon your believed anti-everything comment: America has become a collection of only two views. How so? Obama has ever-so skillfully divided our once great nation for his best advantage and I really cannot see any future at all with a Marxist living in the white house. With each administrative move we have become less as a nation in every way. Do I care? Not really, as I can only advise as a nationally known corporate consultant is to get out, America has lost its way and there is no longer any reason to invest in a fowl ObamaNation. However there is good news for you, you are going to be left with a very-very liberal America ~ Yes ... it will be Obama like in every way. However there is always one problem for boys like him; and your liberals, once you run out of other people's money your PC liberal la-la-land BS you fail as... well ... as everything.
Lastly ... why you are attempting to make me wrong for how you seemingly have effected almost a dozen other people's thinking is really pretty childish at best. However I will call you upon just one issue, ... I don't need your GOD in my life ~ Thank You!

Interesting point: When "la la liberalism" ruled the nation, it led to the highest standard of living for the middle class ever. I am speaking of the time between 1933-1980.

I mean, I could tell you that I'm stuck on the surface of Mercury, surrounded by the walking dead, but you've heard all that before. I could tell you of the horrors just around every corner, but you are in a better position to explain those. I could tell you about the STUPID people, but you've got a better example online. I could rant and rave about how nobody on PD views it as participatory anymore, but again, you've heard it all before.
I could tell you about the nightmare people and the low men who dog my steps, about my weird ex-employee that can't quite gather the grit to shoot me (a plague on all cowards!), or about the Grabby Girls or any of the other stuff that seems surreal unless you're in Tucson, in which case it's banal, boring FACT.
I could tell you about my head, and the condition it's in, and who is responsible for that, but I've already done that. Without interaction, I have dried right up. There's nothing left. I don't blame anyone, of course...You're frightfully busy, LMNO is trying to hold an office together by himself, half the other users are on phones and don't have the thumbs to post anything other than mittens or something like it, and besides, WHO WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT MY HEAD? Nobody.
I could spin a yarn about the nature of things, but I'm just guessing. I could start a "hot" thread about drugs or IP or whatever the fuck it is this month, but we've done that. We've done LOTS of things, and nobody can be arsed to do NEW things, myself included. We all have excuses, so everyone should shut up about them.
Anyway, that's why I can't bring myself to write. Tired, fucked up on pills, and very, very discouraged.
I want to hear it. Even if i cant read it all or post anything long in the meantime.
I'm doing all kinds of new things, all the time. They just don't involve being entertainment.
I'm sorry that you feel discouraged by people not posting on the internet, but man.

It's all been said before...Everything's a rehash of something else, because I've more or less been typing into a vacuum, or screaming into a void. Sometimes the void answers back, but never with conversation arguing the point or adding to it. I'd say I'm back in the Nashville bus station, but everyone's heard that bit, too.
Christ, I'm tired...Physically tired and mentally tired.
Ill see if i can riff on the clockmaker thing when i get home.
Don't worry about it.
Pay no attention to the tired and cranky person.
I need to go downtown tonight. Find some air to breathe.
I like riffing on ideas if i can. And i like that idea in particular.
Besides. If anarchangel is getting down to some writing soon itll do me good to start getting the creative juices flowing.
Gonna try to nap now, for lack of anything better to do.

Tell me about it. Or, don't. Preaching to the choir. 3-4 hours of what technically counts as sleep. Kind of fucks with the skills.

Can you talk to your doc about switching you from benzos to something else for a while? It sounds like you've built up a tolerance and you might have to switch for them to become effective again.
I think I've asked this before, but what about pot?

No can do. Refinery rules are exempt from the card.
And it doesn't matter what I take. I occasionally hit round spots where I'd stay awake through Ambien, even. It'll pass. In a century or two.
Well shit, I changed the resolution on my monitor and while everything is now huge, it stopped flickering.
This completely does not answer the question of why it started flickering in the first place, but at least I don't need a new monitor!

It's odd and slightly hilarious that you are allowed to tun around all doped up on benzos all day, but you can't have pot even by prescription.
Despite my personal stance against medical marijuana, I'm going to say I agree with Nigel. Technically, if they are going to allow workers to work while using prescription drugs they should also allow medical marijuana. That is, it should be equitable. If one is okay, the other should be too. Unless of course where you work receives federal funds, in which case I'd see why they wouldn't allow workers to use medical marijuana.
Big Oil is a federal industry.
Sure, maybe not on paper, but de facto you know I'm right.

Because the congressmen that set these requirements are funded and lobbied by Big Pharma, and weed is BAD and pills are GOOD, because they can't control weed and sell it, while they can with pills. Also, allowing certain core industries to use weed would invalidate the "WEED IS THE DEVIL" religion that sprung up in 1933 and 1981.
As always, it's economics, enforced by what amounts to a religion...Even leaving aside decriminalization for recreational use, which I think we can safely leave alone for this discussion.
Yeah, I'd be surprised given that it's oil if federal funds weren't involved somewhere. Though, it's prerty clear to me that the Obama administration has absolutely ZERO interest in enforcing federal marijuana laws, at least, with respect to medical marijuana and the new recreational laws in Colorado and Washington.

Doesn't surprise me. Now, if it had been Big Tobacco, you'd be golden because Big Tobacco is already setting up the marketing andcommercial machinery for when marijuana is legalized federally, because that WILL happen. They've already started to trademark brand names.
I made the mistake of replying to my mother's "Merry Christmas, wish you were here." text, once I stopped laughing. Now she's leaving drunken messages on my phone and texting me random horrible weather updates for states that I don't live in. Because 'the South' is sort of one large interconnected mass that experiences all the same weather all at once and tornadoes in Texas are a worry for Georgians.

As always, it's economics, enforced by what amounts to a religion...Even leaving aside decriminalization for recreational use, which I think we can safely leave alone for this discussion.
Doesn't surprise me. Now, if it had been Big Tobacco, you'd be golden because Big Tobacco is already setting up the marketing andcommercial machinery for when marijuana is legalized federally, because that WILL happen. They've already started to trademark brand names.
It's going to be interesting, watching how they keep private citizens from growing their own, seeing that weed would grow on the fucking MOON, given half a chance.

Despite my personal stance against medical marijuana, I'm going to say I agree with Nigel. Technically, if they are going to allow workers to work while using prescription drugs they should also allow medical marijuana. That is, it should be equitable. If one is okay, the other should be too. Unless of course where you work receives federal funds, in which case I'd see why they wouldn't allow workers to use medical marijuana.

Yep, the stuff will grow and thrive in fucking Maine. It will be interesting to see how that happens. It's not going to be like alcohol where you really only have your extreme beer-geeks making it at home. Anyone with a patch of soil and/pr electricity will be able to grow it.
Which means you can expect Big Tobacco to help write the regulations regarding private cultivation.

Yeah, I'd be surprised given that it's oil if federal funds weren't involved somewhere. Though, it's prerty clear to me that the Obama administration has absolutely ZERO interest in enforcing federal marijuana laws, at least, with respect to medical marijuana and the new recreational laws in Colorado and Washington.
This may be true, but they came down hard on Oregon and California last year, raiding and putting out of business scores of legal farms here. So, it's hard to say whether they'll do the same in Colorado and Washington.
What I'm hearing behind the scenes tells me they won't. They may still go after the occassinal dispensary, for show, but there won't be any sustained effort to push back against the expansion of medical marijuana and the new recreatinal laws in Colorado and Washington, not under this administration anyway. That can always change under a new President.

I suspect the raids in Oregon and California were about testing the waters, to see what the public reaction would be. It was overwhelmingly negative, especially in farming areas where the local economies have been boosted so much by legal marijuana farms. They had a window of opportunity for pushback, and the window is rapidly closing, if it's still open at all.

Well shit, I changed the resolution on my monitor and while everything is now huge, it stopped flickering.
This completely does not answer the question of why it started flickering in the first place, but at least I don't need a new monitor!
Sounds to me like an issue with your video card, or your video card's driver. The video cards can go out over time, and the drivers that run them can become corrupted over time.
If it happens again, either find a geek friend that knows computer hardware and ply him with something that tempts him to get him to diagnose it for you, or pay hard-won cash at a tech shop to get them to diagnose it for you.
Anyway, that is my guess based on what you just said.
My qualifications: I have a computer at home that is a frankenstein monster of 5 different computers pieced together because I was too cheap to buy a new one, and it works just fine.
And also, I've been doing either computer sales, programming or repair for a living since about 1996.

"Ballad of Serenity" from the Firefly soundtrack
"Blame On Me" by Toots and the Maytals, with Rachael Yamagata

Ok. I'm a little concerned about Twidsister. She got a flight into Dublin tonight. Massport website is saying no data available on the flight. Last I checked, she was off of Canadian airspace.
I take small comfort in that the Massport website seems to be having trouble loading whereas PD is not.
Thank you Google. No seriously. I typed in the flight number. Due in Dublin in 46 minutes. Thank God.
I'mma watch an episode of Voyager, and then hit F5.
15 minutes
Landing is imminent.
Well, it's good that she's not (apparently) in trouble. You did warn her to be careful not to slip on the Jameson bottles that coat the runway, didn't you?

According to Google, Twidsister has landed safely in Dublin.
Hopefully dad is there to meet her. If not, our cousin was on the same flight.
She also has a long ass journey to Clifden, and I don't envy her.
In communications with Twidsister, presumably at Dublin Airport. All good, with Dad's cousin.
I have communicated with Twidsister since her landing via Facebook. She is in fact safely in Ireland. She is now making her way with one of my dad's cousins to Dad's hometown.

An acquaintance was warning me against storing anything in a cloud because of privacy concerns, and I was like LOL you're warning me about this on Facebook from your device from which you access Google, dawg, shut up.
Also I seriously hate unsolicited advice from people I barely know. It just makes so many assumptions about my ability to manage my own life (or, from their apparent perspective, inability to do so) and that started to get insulting over ten years ago.
I fucking love cloud storage. But I'm also not storing anything private or illegal on it because only an idiot would store anything private or illegal on a cloud server. I just have articles and, like, syllabi for classes on mine.
Also, good to hear Twidsister is safe and hooray Payne and Pixie!

I'd be envious of going to Edinburgh too, with that as the other outstanding option.
Envious because i rather liked scotland. It should be noted that most of my time was spent in inverness though.
I got up fairly early today and am predictably irritated that i cant get lunch yet because people are backwards and dont know the joy of eating a hamburger or some other lunch food before 11 am. No theyd rather have keep their notions of time specific foods and break that rule by eating pancakes for dinner.
Fucking grain bugs - found some in my flour and a few other things maybe 5 months ago. Threw out open shit - douched the kitchen and cabinets. Sprayed down enough stuff to kill every living thing in the house. And everything was fine for a bit. One or 2 dead ones that I assumed was as a result of the spray.
Fast forward to the weekend before Christmas and they're back again - except somehow even more than before. On the counter, on the pizza stone on the microwave. behind the microwave. Tore apart the cabinets again since exterminator was coming this morning and only found them inside one almost empty container of stuffing and a SEALED bag of almonds. Into the trash went anything open and I'm going to super double check everything before I put it back later. Exterminator put down some goop made for cockroaches that apparently works on these things too and pretty much told me to clean everything and toss anything that's been sitting a while (I know they can only do so much). Of course what I hear is that, despite my best efforts is "your house is gross, this is your fault".
Four years doing the same thing, cleaning the same way, and it's just these past 6 months I've noticed anything. And the way the apartments are set up, for all I know these have made their way here from someone else's gross pantry, in which case there's nothing I can do. So now all I can think about is bugs and my post-holiday relaxation weekend will instead be spent obsessively cleaning the kitchen (pull the fridge out to clean - yea, like that's happening by myself, maybe someone will be around) and probably the rest of the house. And it probably still won't be enough.
I mean, I know they don't do much and it's not like there's thousands of them (that I can see) but for all my obsessiveness about cleaning that's one big smack of failure right there
Bad winter this year. It's been freezing at night, and maybe 60F during the day, and dry as fuck. You walk outside without chapstick, you no longer have lips, just bleeding gums.
Other than having a bucket of chapstick by my side, that weather sounds lovely.
Pretty windy out here. Its damn near impossible to be outside longer than five minutes without suddenly tearing up. Coldwise its about normal though.

We're getting freezing nights up here too (less common these days than you might think). Despite the issues this causes, I am pleased by this.
Freezes are the only thing standing between the Swamp Yankees and all of our excess nature. Year 2012 was absolutely

It isn't. The sun is still there, brutalizing you like Chris Brown, only it's not hot. Just insanely bright, and it rides on your shoulders like a sandbag. On the plus side, no snakes, spiders, or scorpions...On the negative side, the bears are aggressive as fuck, the coyotes are into everything, and the javalinas are even MORE easily annoyed.
Also, the junkies scream louder when it's cold. That gets annoying, when you have to walk downtown.

As much as the cold makes me want to hermit away inside the house for the next 3 months or so, I do appreciate it's tick killing abilities. The bugs as a whole were worse this year but I couldn't step five feet into the woods without multiple tick sightings (though I think I may have been luckily enough not to be bit by one this year - maybe 1) and 100 mosquito bites (unfortunately they like to bite me, even when everyone else is standing around saying "what mosquitos?")
So as much as I hate to say it, I'd like it to get at least a little cold this winter.

Tucson is crawling with ticks. ECH finally mentioned the DI earth trick, which I employed immediately in the back yard. By the next day, I was sweeping up thousands of the little bastards, cackling like Adolf Eichmann. I had tried everything, to no effect...But a quick trip to the hardware store cured the problem, and wiped out every scorpion on the property, too.
Mosquitos aren't - or weren't - a Tucson problem, until the golf courses came along. Then they became an occasional nuisance. After the Big Whoops back in 2008, though, so many people were foreclosed on that there are literally HUNDREDS of untended swimming pools, all of which are now basically mosquito factories. The only upside is that mosquitos can only come out at night here, as the sun destroys their wings.
But back to this cold...It's raw as fuck, and every time you bump into something, you lose 3 inches of skin. It's not even THAT cold...It's that DRY. Thing is, it RAINED last night. No difference. The ground swallowed the water up, belched, and things went right back to miserable.
Navyguy bought my parents new fence posts for Christmas since half of their backyard fence got dry rot this year and collapsed (so did the picnic table on Christmas Eve, my brother went through the seat. HILARIOUS!)
Well, despite my warnings, his experience with Florida sand has been less than thrilling. He has the system down now after my mom showed him how to saturate it, so after spending the majority of yesterday installing 6 posts, he just did 2 in an hour this morning. Fortunately it's been relatively cool, so there's no snakes or spiders or fire ants attacking.

They come from the store sometimes. Only solution is to get rid of EVERYTHING they could live in, and store the rest in the freezer for a month. I hate the fuckers. It's got nothing to do with cleanliness though.

Re: New system bug found -- and it's an odd one.
Hi everyone,
It's just been brought to our attention that [program] has an interesting little bug in its system. Apparently, if you're entering notes into the Description field of an activity and you use an "Em Dash" – which is slightly longer than a regular hyphen – the field can't read your notes, at all. Understandably, this has been causing some confusion and frustration among the agents.
Going forward, please refrain from using all hyphens in your notes. I know, this sounds like some weird grammar-fascist move, but this bug really does exist. If your note does call for the stylistic emphasis of an em dash – an interruption, an aside, or simply adding weight to a phrase – please consider using other form of punctuation: A colon perhaps, or (maybe) parenthesis. Even something like an ellipsis could work ... or, perhaps, commas.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for understanding.
Thanks again,
– [LMNO]
That is to say, I pass the time by geeking out on grammar rules.

Re: New system bug found -- and it's an odd one.
Hi everyone,
It's just been brought to our attention that [program] has an interesting little bug in its system. Apparently, if you're entering notes into the Description field of an activity and you use an "Em Dash" – which is slightly longer than a regular hyphen – the field can't read your notes, at all. Understandably, this has been causing some confusion and frustration among the agents.
Going forward, please refrain from using all hyphens in your notes. I know, this sounds like some weird grammar-fascist move, but this bug really does exist. If your note does call for the stylistic emphasis of an em dash – an interruption, an aside, or simply adding weight to a phrase – please consider using other form of punctuation: A colon perhaps, or (maybe) parenthesis. Even something like an ellipsis could work ... or, perhaps, commas.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for understanding.
Thanks again,
– [LMNO]
That is to say, I pass the time by geeking out on grammar rules.
Oh, wow.
Please make the next one say the same thing about ellipses.

So hey guys, it turns out that Facebook Discordians are INCREDIBLY easy to fuck with. I know that Howl has known that for a long time, but I'm finally trying it and they're getting all catty on me. :lulz:
They're more fun than you know what to do with...Especially since many of them were of the fold before they were lured away by Zuckerberg and turned into heathen.

Seriously, I love that if you reply in a literal and factual fashion to anyone about anything, they promptly start accusing you of being "too serious" It's AWESOME. :lulz:
I think I played my hand too soon by implying that I might not be 100% serious. :lulz:

Fucking grain bugs - found some in my flour and a few other things maybe 5 months ago. Threw out open shit - douched the kitchen and cabinets. Sprayed down enough stuff to kill every living thing in the house. And everything was fine for a bit. One or 2 dead ones that I assumed was as a result of the spray.
Fast forward to the weekend before Christmas and they're back again - except somehow even more than before. On the counter, on the pizza stone on the microwave. behind the microwave. Tore apart the cabinets again since exterminator was coming this morning and only found them inside one almost empty container of stuffing and a SEALED bag of almonds. Into the trash went anything open and I'm going to super double check everything before I put it back later. Exterminator put down some goop made for cockroaches that apparently works on these things too and pretty much told me to clean everything and toss anything that's been sitting a while (I know they can only do so much). Of course what I hear is that, despite my best efforts is "your house is gross, this is your fault".
Four years doing the same thing, cleaning the same way, and it's just these past 6 months I've noticed anything. And the way the apartments are set up, for all I know these have made their way here from someone else's gross pantry, in which case there's nothing I can do. So now all I can think about is bugs and my post-holiday relaxation weekend will instead be spent obsessively cleaning the kitchen (pull the fridge out to clean - yea, like that's happening by myself, maybe someone will be around) and probably the rest of the house. And it probably still won't be enough.
I mean, I know they don't do much and it's not like there's thousands of them (that I can see) but for all my obsessiveness about cleaning that's one big smack of failure right there
They come from the store sometimes. Only solution is to get rid of EVERYTHING they could live in, and store the rest in the freezer for a month. I hate the fuckers. It's got nothing to do with cleanliness though.
The bolded part is at least some relief. I tossed any grain or nut products that were open, since they seemed to focus on that. Gonna check out pastas, rice, cereals when I get home. Freeze anything still sealed or just whatever might not be air tight? The exterminator said spices too? As in salt, peppers, garlic, basil, etc.? Would they go after stuff like that? I fully intend on checking to make sure they're clean and that nothings hiding in any crevices in the lids or anything, but it would really suck to have to toss all of that (I have a lot of spices). Granted, the end purpose is to get rid of them. Or would that be more of a feezing situation.
Ugh this sucks. But thank you for the advice. I've been driving myself nuts over this

Including things you would never think of like dry beans and cocoa powder. But if you have room in the freezer, that will both prevent them from moving into your spices and kill any eggs they may have laid. It takes at least a week to kill the eggs, so be persistent! And I'm not sure how they do it, but I think they may lay eggs around the lids of sealed products; freeze those too. You will win!

You also get worn out organs. Expect problems with the following:
1. Heart
2. Gall bladder
3. Prostate
Results may vary, but at least one vital or semi-vital organ will betray you when you need it most.
Expect effects of excess weight to increase. "Wind" is something for young people. Intensity and duration of hangovers will increase by a full order of magnitude. You will enjoy less tolerance of stupid people, particularly those in their teens/twenties.
NOW how much would you pay?

Damn...that's ridiculous. And cayenne is one of the last places I would have thought of. I did dump a few this morning that I knew were old and sitting for a while, but going through everything later I guess. Sucks, I only have a freezer that is a box on top of the fridge - as opposed to side by side doors. And it's pretty full as it is (though this may be a good opportunty to clear out old freezer-burned stuff in there too. Maybe I'll try to do it in shifts, then quarantine things as I move them. Best I can do at this point. Now would be the time it'd be nice to have a more steady cold outside, but it's still been above freezing most days even if it drops at night.
Thanks again! Wish me luck!
I'm thinking of tossing the microwave too - for all I know they're all up in the vents there too. Would suck, but I don't use a microwave THAT much that I would miss it terribly.

You can do totally hipster things, like wear suspenders and drink hand-crafted cocktails and play the ukelele, and not be called a hipster.

If you do it in shifts, I'd suggest storing the ones that have been frozen in a Rubbermaid tub outside to hopefully prevent recontamination.
No need to worry about your microwave; just focus on eliminating their food sources and you can beat them.

They're more fun than you know what to do with...Especially since many of them were of the fold before they were lured away by Zuckerberg and turned into heathen.

Sitting in my old Starbucks while waiting for Shoe Ears to get her hair cut. I kind of miss this stupid place. It was a pretty great job until that last manager. She chased out almost all the old staff and like half the regulars.

Yep, even seasonings... I found the little fuckers in my CAYENNE PEPPER once! I hates them. HATES. They prefer starches but will get into almost anything in a pinch. Including things you would never think of like dry beans and cocoa powder. But if you have room in the freezer, that will both prevent them from moving into your spices and kill any eggs they may have laid. It takes at least a week to kill the eggs, so be persistent! And I'm not sure how they do it, but I think they may lay eggs around the lids of sealed products; freeze those too. You will win!
Damn...that's ridiculous. And cayenne is one of the last places I would have thought of. I did dump a few this morning that I knew were old and sitting for a while, but going through everything later I guess. Sucks, I only have a freezer that is a box on top of the fridge - as opposed to side by side doors. And it's pretty full as it is (though this may be a good opportunty to clear out old freezer-burned stuff in there too. Maybe I'll try to do it in shifts, then quarantine things as I move them. Best I can do at this point. Now would be the time it'd be nice to have a more steady cold outside, but it's still been above freezing most days even if it drops at night.
Thanks again! Wish me luck!
I'm thinking of tossing the microwave too - for all I know they're all up in the vents there too. Would suck, but I don't use a microwave THAT much that I would miss it terribly.
If you do it in shifts, I'd suggest storing the ones that have been frozen in a Rubbermaid tub outside to hopefully prevent recontamination.
No need to worry about your microwave; just focus on eliminating their food sources and you can beat them.
Cool, thank you. I have a spare rubbermaid lying around so that should do. And I'm not terribly worried about anyone climbing on the balcony to steal some spices. I'll see what I can do with the freezer, but probably will need to do it in shifts.

Also theres a band called magica. Seems you can just tack latin endings on something and there you go. Youre some sort of symphonic metal band.
Maybe i should call my slashfic metal band wizardus sexica. Or sexica wizardorum or something.

Yeah. I'm gonna keep fucking with them until they burn out on it. Which will be never.
Do I have to go to Facebook to see Roger's epistle to them?
I ask mainly because I'm logged into my main FB account at the moment, and I have to log out to log back in under my Discordian one. And I know if I go in under my main one, I'm going to be confronted with the hideousness of seeing the idiots I went to school with posting stupid shit about how they didnt get an iPhone 5 so the world is going to end (you're 26...buy one) and similar stuff.
Basically, I'd need to fortify myself with alcohol before doing such a thing. Real alcohol, not champagne. And it's too early in the day for that, even during the holidays.

I just realized something.
I've ignored Villager. Where she mattered the most. Where she and I crossed paths. Jesus fuck I think I get her entirely now. All you have to do is turn down the bass. And that's exactly what she wants you to do...
So- the way may bisexuality works is that Villager is my girlfriend and Anne Marie is my hag, and my hag needs to call me back and tell me about her haggy self.
Twid,
Pretty sure Anarchangel is going to get excellent sound at a particular venue from now on.
OK spags, I'm out for the weekend. Happy New Year!
Huh, so I have this uncle, we'll call him Jack. Just had a long phone conversation with him, haven't talked to him in years. For years he's been working at the VIP Auto Parts where I grew up. He confided in me that after years of balancing and rotating, he felt like he was just spinning his wheels and felt it was time to retire.

There's WiFi at the beach castle! But for some reason the only thing the radio will play is '30's dance.
Whoa... Almost dying because of sex? Dare i ask?
Heart attack? Falling off the bed and somebody landing on their neck?
Trying to decide if I want to add a sixth class. It would FINALLY be an elective (fucking upper GE, taking a million credits), which is a plus. But it would also be a sixth class. So I dunno?
Pfft, almost dying during sex is easy.
Autoerotic asphyxiation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_asphyxiation) anyone? Well, OK, that can be masturbation too, but point taken, I hope.
Lol point taken

I was planning to go to a New Year's party at a classmate's place, but I can't crash there, and I have no means of getting home. There is a subsidized taxi service that's supposed to get young people home safely in exchange for a few bucks, but it can only cross one municipal border which is one too few. :| Guess I have to find something else to do tomorrow then.

I think we've been moving to the new server. Faust is tinkering.
OH good. I went somewhere very different with that.
Board's dead. Well, I guess I'll go find something else to do.
Back later, I suppose.
And nothing.
Oh, well. If you can't beat them, join them.
So I went to see The Hobbit last night. While on balance it was good, I do worry that Peter Jackson is getting a little too Lucas-like with the CGI. The Goblin King, in particular, was a little too Jar-Jar-like for my tastes. And the big white Orc guy looked a little too cartoonish to me. They were able to get a real person to play the main Uruk bad guy in Fellowship I don't get why they couldn't do it for The Hobbit. But, all in all, it was still a good movie and Peter Jackson successfully avoided making the LOTR franchise's Phantom Menace.
Jesus, this looks weird.
It's still miles better than the Vomit-Technicolor-Dreamcoat we had back in the day.
RWHN,
It can always be worse.
Found a way to get to the party, now I leave to drunk Lenin to find out how to get home.
I think I've finally had enough of hollering into an empty room.
It's New Year's Eve day. I don't think people are going to be around much today or tomorrow.
Yeah, it's not like an arbitray start date to the orbit around the big fiery death ball happens every day!

Anyway, I'm not flouncing. I'll be around, here and there...But I think I'm just going to browse through ancient posts for a while, since it's been months since we've had a decent conversation and
more than 3 years (!!!) since we even went trolling en masse.
I just don't see the need to bust my ass writing rants (the shit ain't easy), etc, so that I can get blow off answers at best, and a few dozen views with zero responses at worst.
So if I can't beat 'em, I'll just join them, viewing the index of Principiadiscordia.com...Which is, after all, what Discordianism has become over the last few years, both here and at facebook.
At least until we go over "the cliff", and all the lights go out.

I gave up trying more than a year ago. Invariably, I'd be over there, wherever "there" was, by myself. I felt like Charley Brown trying to kick the football, you know what I mean?
I don't think the problem is with any users here, though...I think what happened was that the great exodus to Facebook brought us below some sort of threshhold beneath which conversations just don't have enough steam to continue.
Which is just another reason to hate the FB Discordians.

I come to the internet to have fun, and seeing someone griping because nobody's posting is the exact opposite of fun. I know you're going to say that you don't mean me, but it doesn't really matter who you mean, it's still pages of hollering that this place is no fun and that tells me I might as well not waste my time here.

I think that might be a good part of it. Consider, at point I'd say the majority of us live in the United States, and most of us have day jobs, some of us can post from work, others of us cannot. It's quite possible that it's not so much that there aren't enough people here, so much as not enough people here at the same time.

Done talking about it, at least on PD.
Everything has a natural life span, with ebbs and flows, including boards. We've seen it. We've attempted to board forums that ended up being deader than Bob Hope. But I imagine at some point they were likely hopping joints. This forum, I don't think, is immune to that cycle. It is filled with humans with natural life-spans complete with life shifts and changes. It was never going to last forever. Now, that also isn't saying raise the white flag and ride off into the sunset. But, I think it is safe to say this place will never be like it was at its peak. It is a lot slower paced with fewer denizens. We just have to make of it with what we have.
EDIT: I no longer feel like explaining myself.
So I was just giving my dogs their late night walk and we came under a sustained rocket attack interspersed with ground mortars; scared the shit out of the dogs, literally.

The sustained missile attack had two distinct phases in North London:
- the 22:50 phase. Presumably undertaken by people who had forgotten to change the time a couple of months back, and
- the 00:30 phase. Someone forgot to bring their lighter, I guess?
Now we're in the "people walking along the street howling like dogs" phase, which is a new one for me.

One can only hope that "howling like dogs" will be followed by "farting like dogs" and that the latecomers to the party will finally work out what the lighters are really for . . .
Where i am in doctor who update- "look into my eye"
Decided to give new years a miss. Among other things, it's amateur night out there.
I'm at a friend's place in the south east part of the city (spectacularly shitty, even for Fresno). I'm very glad I'm inside. What the hell possessing people to fire guns into the air in a densely populated area? It's not even close to midnight!
Shooting at them Mayan aliens trying to bring about the apocalypse. Just like Nostradamus predicted.
:lulz: Yes.
And that was, if the army dude here tonight is to be believed, an M-16. What the hell.
New Year's Eve was the same as every other year here.
Watching stupid tv (or in my case lurking about online) until 11:30 and turning the channel in time to see the ball drop. Then have a glass of sparkling grape juice. Then bed.
So much fun.

Everyone channels their Discordianism in a different way. Even here, on this board, we all have different flavors of Discordianism as individuals, and I dare venture it isn't limited to what we do online.
Live and let live.
In the spirit of cynicism, I am not suprised that some folks self labelling as discordian, erisian, chaotician, subgenius, etc. Do not have the patience to read more then three sentences. Anyone who found the glorious movement through FB may be more likely to fit this category, stay in it, or not look beyond it.
Fb is the placenfor flash in the pan ideas, tits, cats, etc. It just doesnt have the retention or the culture for serious discusssion.
So going by the milk for babies-meat for adultsnsaying, I bring my meat here. Tossing anyone who seeems to want more dicourse than FB support here too would beanother step.
Yes, that is double entendre back there.

Little Orphan Stella's come to PD to stay.
To wash the cups and saucers up and brush the crumbs away.
To shoo the chickens from the porch and dust the hearth and sweep,
and make the fire and bake the bread to earn her board and keep.
While all us other children, when the supper things is done,
we sit around the kitchen fire and has the mostest fun,
a listening to the Highway tales that Roger tells about
and the Nigels will get ya if ya don't watch out!

Mybad for derailing that with Loofa-peeing too. Apparently the idea of 1 - shower urination, and 2 - aiming for bizzare cleaning apparatus that look like Bea's calcifies colon was too bizzare for everyone to pass up.
Venting - I seem to have either lost the plot for this joint, or I'm taking the posting decrease too personal. Instead of asking you fuckers to reassure my insecure fragile self, I am just going to add content and air different ideas until a response is provoked or I am told to stop and go away. This will not be done in a way that violates forum rules. No... that would be too easy. The discomfort must be more subtle...

I am thinking the university would have a slightly different standard.
Gonna do some jabbering after the morning meeting today. Not much, because I have actual work to do today ( :crankey: ), but I want to try finishing Anachronisms, and maybe Drinking With Jesus, part V.
From personal experience...the day my bank didn't authorise a payment for a couple of hundred pounds (they didn't activate my overdraft, like I asked them to), I took a call from the Dean of Financial Services. I'd had an appointment made for me and all my classes for that time frame cancelled.
Admittedly, my Uni's financial services was the academic equivalent of Murder Inc. It's where they sent all the thugs who don't mind doing the nasty shit. When I was unemployed, in 2008, I had six months to pay up £1225, or they would send the bailiffs around.

:sad:
Maura and willie arent terribly surprising. Maura was born during world war i and willie presumably gave up on living after grandma died- said "let me die too then" when he heard the news. I dont like hearing that dads still nuts though. I mean- i didnt expect anything different but it would be nice to be wrong in that case.
For the last day or two, I've been experiencing a clarity of thought that is kind of hard to describe. It's like this: I can't breathe. There's no fucking air, it's all leaked out into space or some shit. Everything in my head is quiet and still, and the screeching of the yahoos cannot touch me. The closest analogy I can make is the way things go quiet in wartime. Louder than hell, but QUIET. Nothing focuses the mind like the immediate threat of death, and having no breathable atmosphere certainly qualifies.

As far as I know. I don't have any of the physical symptoms of the brain fluke thing (headache, vision problems, etc), so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
I think it's just either that I'm stressed beyond the level that can be managed with PEELZ HERE (and therefore will do something stupid at high speeds very soon), or that Tucson's doing it's thing, know what I mean? Or both. Who knows? All I know is that I can't get any air into my lungs.
But it's
QUIET, and I'm going to enjoy that while I can.
Might be some kind of instinctive thing (bear with me, not talking woo - more like the sum total of stuff observed that didn't necessarily register consciously). Things feel quiet before shit happens.

Well, that's kind of what I was thinking. I have a shit-ton of stress on my shoulders right now, and so I'm probably not consciously noticing things...But it's there, maybe, and there's some monkey in my head screeching warnings at me.
And it's not quiet, here. It never is.
But it IS
QUIET.And sometimes, that's enough.

Playing the Drell vanguard requires skill, precision, and no small amount of luck. You take one of the physically weakest characters in the game, and have him charge head-first into the enemy, and it's surprising you don't get chunked, burned, shot, stamped on repeatedly, hit in the face with an elbow, grabbed and then crushed in giant metallic beaks or have an arm shoved directly through your stomach and spine more often.
The only thing more foolhardy than playing as a Drell vanguard is playing one while drunk. And I just happen to have a very nice bottle of Glenfiddich 15 year old single malt here.

We've had a bit of an embezzlement problem at work. Spent the day with a few detectives, first being treated like I did it, then questioning employees. Two of my best guys are up to their arses in it. Tens of thousands of dollars.
We're probably going to put them in prison. One of them is 69 years old, and was 4 months from retirement. And what HE actually did wasn't that bad. At the very least, they're out of work...The criminal case is kinda weak, but from an HR standpoint, they're done.

Yeah, I'm clear. They were stripping platinum out of instruments. About a KILOGRAM of it, over a long period of time.
Started off with the old guy, who realized just what we were throwing in the scrap metal dumpster. Thing is, the younger guy got a taste of it, and started finding creative ways to make good instruments bad. Then he just started checking them out on non-existent jobs, and stripping them. Now they're both in the cacky. Also, the young guy was QUICK to drop a dime on the old guy, and to make it out that the old guy was selling it, too. Turns out the old guy is a metalworker as a hobby, and still has every scrap of the metal HE took. He might wiggle off the hook because of that, legally, but he's toast as far as a job goes.

I have 2 more years, and then TGG is done with high school. I just have to hang in that long.
I think i might have something for the evil new england mythos thanks to one of my high school friends making a status about everyone else making a status about how cold it is.
Please do. I'm still crafting Truths™ about the 1800s, so anything you can add would be welcome.

Have to reschedule with Pretty Girl, but got a hot job reference from my friend's mom as a reading tutor for elementary school kids. they'll work around my classes and it's $20/hr. I haven't worked with kids that age in a long time but I'm still pretty well qualified.
Also saw Djando Unchained last night. It's little bit problematic and there were scenes that I couldn't watch because they were insanely brutal, but I still thought it was good. Solid B.
Should we put everything into one thread? Also i was thinking of doing something about the coconut grove fire as well if you werent already going to take on that one.
Using a Pistol as a Sniper Rifle? Two shots while in Tactical Cloak?
Yeah, that's just how I roll, bro. Goddamn, I love showing newbies the tricks of the trade. The cries of "holy shit" and "how the fuck are you doing that" over the mic make it so worthwhile.

The surgery thing sucks, Nigel. :( Sorry things are so crappy right now.
I had a mid-shift today. Clearly I have been doing this work thing wrong. Closing is all heavy lifting and scouring and cleaning and reassembling heavy machinery. Mid-shifting? Stand around and do nothing for four hours, wait on customers for two, and do some dishes before skipping off merrily out the door.
If I've pinned the pattern down, that means opening is pretty much sitting in the office and masturbating over a turkey sub while sipping coffee. I should try that next.
After work, pulled half of my hair out because it got caught on something in the shower, (keep writing hate instead of) ate a delicious dinner and THEN I spent way too much time calculating the exact yardage of yarn used in a single granny 12'' square block.
Also, I'm super broke again. Or still. Whatever.
Nah, opening likely sucks, too.
I've started my new shift pattern this week. So for instance, right now, I'm off duty. Which feels weird. I'm going to have to get used to the idea that I'm only working at night now. And since I can sleep for most of that...
Don's toast. :sad:
Fuck.
Well, that guy is having a worse day than I am. :(
Noobing it up, old school. Playing the classic human soldier, with the Avenger X assault rifle. This wasn't even a popular class when the demo was out, let alone four DLCs and several dozen patches later.
The thing is, with some micromanagement, it's actually a not entirely terrible class. Admittedly, strapping on something more powerful than the Avenger would help (I'm thinking Cerberus Harrier + Barrage V), but the whole point of playing this class is to get the Avenger challenge out of the way and bring me one step closer to ASSAULT RIFLE MASTERY.
I mean, I managed to get 20 headshots with it in the last game, which is 10 more than average, and racked up a respectable 75+ kills. Adrenaline Rush does give an extra 70% damage, but the base damage of the Avenger is so low in the first place it can't be affecting it that much.
I could throw it on a caster class, like an Engineer or something, but when I play said class, I tend to go for power based kills first, with the weapons as backup in case shit gets real. If shit got real, an Avenger would be as useful as an ice-carving of a butterfly in the middle of a nuclear strike zone. So I need something that makes me have to use it.
The Turian Soldier would probably be good too - shoot faster and more damage on the headshots, not to mention more shields - but I've played that a lot lately. He's my go-to class when I don't want to have to try hard. A sniper rifle and an SMG and he's able to go anywhere and kill anything with appalling ease. Human Soldier is more of a challenge.
Four different financial institutions are giving me way more grief than I need to deal with. Fuckers. Word to the wise: Closing a business is a LOT harder than starting one. At least Paypal and American Express backed their asses off. Now I just need to get Ipayment to explain why they charged me $129 6 months after I closed my account.
Also, AVOID THE SHIT out of Authorize.net and iPayment. They are terrible.

Praetorians are rascals.
So I was thrown into a Silver game while totally unprepared with a level 14 human engineer (thanks matchmaking!) armed with only the Arc Pistol (which isn't terrible, but is hardly a boss killer except when on an Infiltrator). Oh, and it was the Hazard Ghost map, so no shields half the time, due to acid rain. Unless fighting indoors, of course, which is it's own special hell.
Anyway, me and the Krogan Vanguard are tag-teaming a Praetorian in one of these buildings, which is harder than it sounds when you realize said building is pretty small, Krogans are large, and Praetorians are at least twice the size of a Krogan. Despite going down several times between us, we manage to destroy the beast. The Krogan goes down, so I rush in to revive. As is usual when I do such things, I look around as I go for it, I see another goddamn Praetorian at full health, hovering directly behind me.
Naturally, I shit myself, and get executed.

Oh, you were here. I just didn't bitch too much about it.
He'd lurk around with a notepad, writing down safety violations, then run to the plant manager with a laundry list...Instead of, you know, stopping the unsafe act and then talking to the person's direct supervisor. He also thought he was an engineer.
This one's just as bad, for all the same reasons. She thinks that she's qualified to make changes to live (ie, people walk on them) structures, and she refuses to stop an unsafe act, instead going to the plant manager or Lilly, who is effectively the assistant plant manager.
What a dweeb, on both counts. What Horrible Bastadry have you got in store for her?

Message to two of my Irish cousins, via Facebook:
So, I just found out a week ago that Aunt Maura died, like, almost a year ago. I wish to ask you both a favor. Let me know when someone dies. I really loved Maura, and wish I could have shed a couple of tears for her at the appropriate time. Hearing that it was so long ago bypassed the tears and lead to anger. It wasn't surprising that she (or William) died but I would have at least liked a heads up. It's not easy having half your family on another continent. Please at least tell me that Robert is still alive.
10:39pm
(Twid)
I would have at least liked to get in contact with (Maura's grandson) and extended my condolences, like he did when I was last over. Side note- I'm going to attempt a trip to Ireland and UK sometime in the next 8 months. It's primarily to have fun and rediscover the area, and meet up with some internet friends, but I will be in Connemara at some point. Would like to meet up with you both and Colm at some point.
Seems ok, yes? It's already sent, of course, but, just want to make sure it's all reasonable.
That's lame, Twid. :(

She had a bit of a breakdown. Suicidal ideation, self-harm, severe anxiety. I am currently in dispute with my ex over transferring her to another school that will be a healthier and more supportive environment for her.

Aw. :sad:
How old is she now?
She'll be 15 at the end of the month. A lot of this is really normal stuff, but I'm concerned because there is a history of mental illness on his side of the family and suicide on mine, and this kind of thing, mishandled, can go really really wrong... and he means well, but tends toward authoritarianism. Despite the fact that his parents managed to fuck him up BUT GOOD with their authoritarianism.

One of my high school friends is currently being set straight on the Illuminati by some guy named Kevin. :lulz:
I think I talked her friends into becoming a Freemason :lulz:
The best part, is that I would have left it at a couple of comments, but a mutual friend PMed me and said, and I quote, "Oh sweet Jesus keep egging her on! I love it."

So I haven't been around for, oh, a month or so. Things are weird. Mostly good, but weird. Partly I was gone because I tend to turn into a recluse when I go into BROKE HO mode, and partly because I needed to change up my headspace a bit and this place tends to make me care a little too much about shit I maybe don't need to care about quite so much. But things seem to be shaking themselves out, finally. I'll know by the end of the week whether I have a MAJOR life-changing announcement to make or whether it's time to dedicate the next couple of years to the rabbit hole.

And since this is a Whiskey Bar, I should report I'm currently enjoying a Tasmanian single malt. It's surprisingly good. Then again, they make fairly decent wine, so I guess I shouldn't be too shocked. Bit peaty, but more subtle than most Islay malts.
I will more likely than not be offline for the remainder of the day.

On a vaugely related note, today I handed out toxic gas escape sets to humanoids around Baron Greenback.
The Baroni appears to have spent the last several years eating liquid shit. The doors to that section of the offices are a marvel to watch. People have all sorts of ways to steel themselves against the impeding stench. The clenched Jaw. The big deep breath long enough to hopefully accomplish everything required in his domain under a single exhalation. The softly muttered "Oh fuck".
You learn a lot watching that door.
Goddammit, LMNO.

Not having a twitter account, I clicked and have found my evil opposite - an economist that supports the Tea Party and was shitting all over the union workers in Michigan on her page (I, personally, find it rude to poop on people - opposites!). AND she listens to country music.

Surprisingly few. She did post pictures of herself planting Fire Obama signs shortly before the election. A fun family activity, apparently since she brought some kids along with her. And she's three years younger than me. Not that that's a big age difference, but there seems to be a large amount really right-leaning younger people. But a lot (though not all) of it seems to be whatever TeeVee's saying at the time, since the most I can get out them are catch-phrases and slogans

Actually, it feels like the horrible silence AFTER the bomb has gone off.
I mean, there's the usual Friday emergencies, but only about 12 of them. Not like the last 2 weeks.
Ah. Aftermath.
Our company is going through an "Effectiveness & Efficiency" initiative. Which means: Layoffs. I'm pretty sure I'm safe (it's good to know how to do things no one else can), but the entire team is on edge.
Revenge rides a slow horse.
As you may remember, a week ago, a student (tried to) threaten me. This didn't turn out as I planned, and my boss said she'd take care of the disciplinary aspects of it on Monday.
On Monday....nothing.
Tuesday....nothing. Those are my days off, so I guessed I just wasn't notified.
Wednesday evening...send an email. Nothing.
Thursday evening. Resend my email. Still nothing.
Friday, send an email to the person above my boss in charge of student discipline, with a detailed account of Saturday night, along with possible evidence of marijuana being smoked in the building (well, it is. But evidence of this particular student doing it).
Suddenly, meetings are being convened between the discipline guy and the student's head of year.
Nothing will likely happen until Monday, as he is skiving (and blatantly so - also logged and sent to his head of year), but at least someone is paying attention.
Oh, and he's being issued with a £400 fine for smoking in his room, regardless of anything else.

Wednesday evening...send an email. Nothing.
Thursday evening. Resend my email. Still nothing.
Friday, send an email to the person above my boss in charge of student discipline, with a detailed account of Saturday night, along with possible evidence of marijuana being smoked in the building (well, it is. But evidence of this particular student doing it).
Suddenly, meetings are being convened between the discipline guy and the student's head of year.
Nothing will likely happen until Monday, as he is skiving (and blatantly so - also logged and sent to his head of year), but at least someone is paying attention.
Oh, and he's being issued with a £400 fine for smoking in his room, regardless of anything else.
I had to look up what skiving meant.
Damn Brits, speak ENGLISH! :argh!:

Revenge rides a slow horse.
As you may remember, a week ago, a student (tried to) threaten me. This didn't turn out as I planned, and my boss said she'd take care of the disciplinary aspects of it on Monday.

True. However, since I'm the one who has to live two rooms away from him, I am inclined to do whatever I need to get rid of him. He was the thief who didn't get expelled(!), and I am now sufficiently determined to make his life a misery of paperwork, meetings and being checked on constantly while given just enough rope to hang himself with. Even if it does mean more work for myself in the meantime.

Ah. Aftermath.
Our company is going through an "Effectiveness & Efficiency" initiative. Which means: Layoffs. I'm pretty sure I'm safe (it's good to know how to do things no one else can), but the entire team is on edge.
Yep.
You can either:
A) Work more unpaid overtime to cover the layoffs, or
B) Be one of the layoffs.
ANY time you hear the word "initiative", hold onto your ass.
In a perfect world, they'd gut middle management. In
this world, there will be offshoring and "increased efficiency and productivity measures."

Weekend operation (http://blog.bioware.com/2013/01/10/operation-genesis/) is gonna be fun. Everyone has to use the vanilla human characters that come unlocked with the start of the game.
I suspect a lot of people got the game for Xmas, and so haven't unlocked much, hence an easy operation for all. Myself, I'm taking the human infiltrator out for a spin. Valiant sniper rifle, Locust SMG for close quarter headshots, Guerrilla Upgrade V. I am gonna wreck shit. Prepare to be amazed, noobs.
In fact, I think I'm going to spend all weekend with the vanilla characters, even once I get my commendation pack. Sure, they ain't got the fancy bells and whistles of the new characters, but that just makes it more challenging. Shit, maybe I'll even dig out the common and uncommon weapons. I have a weak spot for the Mantis, despite being the original one-shot sniper rifle.

Yeah, what the world really needs is for as many unfit mothers to have unwanted babies as possible. And when I say that, I don't mean that rape victims are automatically unfit mothers, I mean that ANYBODY who recognizes that they don't want to continue a pregnancy for ANY reason is demonstrating that they do not feel, in some capacity or other, up to raising a child at that moment.
No, more babies are required, to fight the Chinese and Mahammodean horde.

You don't understand. Their "Jesus" wants unwanted children, and lots of them. He values
potential people, mostly because they don't live up to that potential, and if there's any risk of them doing so, well, slash the "entitlement" funding, education, whatever.
And why is this?
Because, as Jefferson said, people like the above congressmen don't worship Jesus or God. They worship some horrible demon that looks good in a robe and sandals, some horrible fucking nightmare that's good with a disguise, that knows what mean-spirited, low people want, and urges them to go get it...Not for the result in society, but for the souls of the people wanting these things.
I mean, if you're going to believe in a good diety, you're going to have to accept that there's an evil one, too (or hell, maybe LOTS of evil ones), and that the best way for the evil ones to gain converts is to LOOK LIKE the good ones, and then appeal to the cruelty in the hearts of the self-righteous.

Valiant IV acquired. I am pleased with this outcome, though I would have liked an upgrade to the Hurricane as well.
Also 20+ headshots, 75+ kills and 75+ sniper rifle kills in each match. I am liking this gun.

I am starting to become addicted to sniping. This is unsurprising, given my personality type, but there is something highly satisfying about killing an enemy who doesn't even know the fight is already over, the moment I got them in my sights.
Not to mention shooting heads so hard they explode. That is very gratifying too.
Well, I guess that's it for the week.

Also joined an organization working for Nynorsk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nynorsk) (lesser used and less Danish-based written standard of Norwegian), Norwegian dialectal diversity and fighting the menace that is Anglo-American consumerist culture.
Good luck to you, sir.
It would be very nice if my school had a place on Black Board (a page that lets you manage/access a lot of important shit for school) where you could re-download stuff you had submitted.

You're bouncing out of there in the sort of nearish future though, yeah?
Not until the end of June. Another six months...
There is no guarantee the next place will be better. Sure, we will "control" the entire building, but we won't actually own it. It won't be until September 2015 we will have premises of our own, and will have to abide by the Boarding Standards Regulations (which would get this place closed down in a minute if we had to abide by it).
More reason to get my PhD and GTFO. At least I'm allowed to nut terrorists in the balls if they come at me screaming...

Speaking of which, though late May is still a possibility, August is looking a little more favorable, since that will give me a little more wiggle room both financially and benefit time wise. I also still have to call gramps and see if he'll blow a gasket if I bring Villager.

Usually attractive people (either sex) are more interested in someone who is newly involved with someone (either sex) because of that whole glowy-happy-confidence thing that happens.

I still can't get the damn Harpoon gun to work properly on anything except on the Salarian Infiltrator, though. Oh, and the Asari Adept, but using stasis to snipe things is even cheaper than using Energy Drain to temporarily stun them.
I love cloudy, grey days. Daffodils and ladybugs in January, however, are problematic.
Recording a live Ukulele EP in three weeks. Probably should start rehearsing.
Geez, it's cold (-25 C). Fimbulwinter must be coming.
It's 25F here in Tucson, which is - for us - horrendous.
Plant's down, got some broken pipes. Not a disaster like 2011, because the operations foreman had a brain in his head and drained the pipes when the pumps started going offline.
Threw a shaft in a generator, though. That's a mess. :lulz:

I went on a date with the Satanist last night, which unfortunately confirmed what I had begun to suspect; former Jehovah's Witness + heavily involved in OTO = not very bright. I mildly overindulged in both beer and cigarettes to pass the time, and today I am paying the price. Again. A price I already paid last night in boredom. Oh well.
In other news, Mr. Language is in Cancun having some kind of revelatory experience I think. We've exchanged a few emails.

It's what keeps me interested. This is the end of the line for adrenaline junkies, just as Keith Richards is the end of the line for heroin junkies. Sometimes I wake up on Monday morning with work order still jammed into my arm. Degradation.
So ive finally been able to log on here with my phone. And i now have full functionality and it looks like it does on the computer. The down side is that it takes a long time to load anything and its a little cumbersome to navigate
Why does Attractive Boy not have texting? who doesn't have texting in this day and age?
For 15 years I've had the kind of insomnia that won't let you get to sleep. For months at a time I have laid in bed until 4am, unable to get REM. This results in me being a somewhat angry person.
Now, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I have the kind of insomnia where I snap awake at 4am unable to get back to sleep.
WTH?

Well fuck me. I was told the job I applied for was a tutoring position, for which I am extremely well qualified. Qualified enough that even though I hadn't formally applied yet, I got a call back for an interview like half an hour ago.
And then the lady called me back again to ask for my teaching credential because it's an actual teaching position, not a tutoring gig. And I don't have a credential. So, yeah, no interview.
Head is full of fuzz. Not sure why. Maybe slept too much, followed up by too much reading today (too rainy to go for a run). Concentrating on anything more complex than TV is virtually impossible.
If I have the flu, I am going to kill someone.
Actually, by the sounds of it, Richter, Luna, and myself are experiencing the same symptoms, most likely contracted on Saturday at an event from some vector or another. All I can say is that, between last night and right now, I've gone from a light cough to wanting to hide under my covers to control the aches and chills.
I started popping Airborne last night when I first started feeling meh, and have been continuing today with some zinc lozenges as well. It may take me, but I'm not going down without a fight.

Also, I'm so glad that I'm not awake all by myself.
Nope. I get it, too. The combo a lot. :\

We're only 10 degrees warmer here in Providence, where it snowed almost a foot 2 weeks ago.
So glad climate change is a myth.

HEY SPEAKING OF WHICH!
EFO is now admitted to the high school she wanted to go to! We sat down with the principal and the counselor (there are only 80 kids there) and it went great. Even my ex was impressed with the school and the people there. And, she can test out of any subjects she's qualified to, with no penalty for failing.

Yeah, she is doing a lot better, and is happy that she doesn't have to go back to Grant. The new school is completely different, structured more like a college with a class schedule that starts at ten and go to seven. She's starting with five classes.
Sigh, time to go to the store and get some more shit done. Later, spags!
We slept with our windows open last night. We could tonight, but the rain would wet the carpet and spazz the roomies out. It was too hot to cover up with a blanket. I'm walking around in my underroos. It's fifty degrees. A twenty-five degree drop. We have a flood warning tonight.
If we don't get at least two weeks of hard freeze, we's in trouble bug-wise.

Or, for that matter, resisting the unanimous go to the hospital response.
Old friend, a bit of an attention seeker, has chest pain, distended stomach. Asks for alternatives to going to the hospital cuz she's skeered of going there alone.
The alternative that everyone said was be afraid and fucking go.

Wow.
Needless to say, she's on her way to the hospital. Alone.
Meanwhile, my response to experiencing this would be something on the order of logging off of facebook, calling Villager and then calling an ambulance.

Heh, yeah, last time someone said something like that to me, I told them they could go to the hospital on their own or they could go in an ambulance. Flip a coin.
I'm going through a year's accumulation of 'important' papers. So far I've found my library card from Iowa. My library card from Pennsylvania (1999). A 1040 long-form dated 1999. A copy of my parents' tax return from 1998. The name, address, and e-mail from a college roommate who went insane and subsequently ran away from the school. Love poetry from a Charles Bukowski-worshipping ex-boyfriend (the one who blames me for 9/11), and pay stubs from the last five jobs I've had. O.o
How did all this crap end up in my files for 2012? How does this shit even still exist? O.o I clean this stuff out every year.
Clearly my alter-ego is a hoarder.

Oh, yeah no. I wasn't going to take her either way. It would not have been appropriate. First off. Second off you cover your own ass, even if that means preventing dying from your own ineptitude. I don't know what she was going for, but my first response would not have been to post a status on Facebook. My status would have been something like, "whew! close call! Something weird happened, at the hospital, awaiting results, probably not dying."
Like I said, the order of people knowing something was wrong with my body would be: 1) Me 2) Villager 3) my doctor 4) my immediate family 5) If it gets to this point start asking me what my current religion is 6) Bandmates/local PDers 7) Extended family 8) Make arrangements 9) Ancillary friends 10) have my arrangements been met
Local PDers can give the global PDers a heads up, but I don't expect the outside of Northeast PDers to show up in the event of my imminent demise.
My friend has gallstones.

As compared, for example, with living in a city in which the only two things you can smell are coyote poop and that horrible mold that grows 1" below the surface of the ground. The whole place smells like an ash tray after someone has shat in it. And then put butts out in the poop. And when the wind blows from the West, things get REALLY exciting. That's where they put the infamous "no odor" (HA!) settling pond.
So count your blessings and start huffing the upholstery on the seats, LMNO. And while you do so, give thanks to the God you don't believe in that you live in an ACTUAL CITY, instead of some horrible fucking Western po'bucker archetype of a city.
Also, I've been to Boston, and it doesn't tell you to SHUT UP, the way Tucson does. Yep, that's us, The City of Silence. Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses...But for fuck's sake, don't tell us about it. Just SHUT UP and everyone will get along JUST FINE.
Gotta dump the Satanist sometime in the next two weeks. Also I have a date with a cute nurse today. I seriously don't know why I bother... I like Hot Cowboy just fine, he's plenty smart, very weird, and damn handsome. On one hand, it would be nice to fall in love again, but on another, I don't really have time for it anyway.
I'm going to hang out with crazyboy when he gets back from Cancun, though, just for shits and giggles.

So, on day 4 of the freeze, shit is finally starting to fly to bits.
And then the water tower next to our plant blew a standpipe and sent a few thousand gallons of water across our yard and into the trench we'd just dug to extend the 13800 volt service to the new building. Water promptly froze, and now we have 600 feet of destroyed conduit and 00 cable.
On top of the piping that's starting to crack in our plant, and the air compressors and boiler whose control valves are freezing solid.
:argh!:

Well, he doesn't HAVE to actually show up, does he? I mean, he never actually shows up in Phoenix, but you never hear the end of it.
Wait. Scratch that. He DOES show up in Phoenix, directly overhead and 8 light minutes away, to smash everyone into the fucking concrete with an red hot iron fist.
But you know what I mean.

It's to keep Tucson away from him.
Trying to work out a routine to make the best use of my free time...something I am not currently doing well.
Urgh. There is such a thing as too much freedom, it seems. Anyway, working in time for exercise, reading, writing, cooking and DVDs is rather useful, I'm finding.

Tucson is actually just His shadow.

So, on day 4 of the freeze, shit is finally starting to fly to bits.
And then the water tower next to our plant blew a standpipe and sent a few thousand gallons of water across our yard and into the trench we'd just dug to extend the 13800 volt service to the new building. Water promptly froze, and now we have 600 feet of destroyed conduit and 00 cable.
On top of the piping that's starting to crack in our plant, and the air compressors and boiler whose control valves are freezing solid.
:argh!:
Jesus, it sounds like a future Superfund site.

LOL, when I think of Arizona I always picture a desert where, even in the winter it's 80 in the shade. You guys actually get freezing? Fuck me I'm ignorant :oops:
Rarely. About 1 winter in 5.
This is one of those winters.
Ha! About 1 winter in 5 we can actually tell it apart from summer, autumn and spring. Rest of the time it's 365 days of cold wet and miserable

Naw. But what it IS, is "non-functional". And I am dealing with Lilly, who has decided that this is inconvenient.
Jim can't get back to Arizona fast enough for me.
Fever just broke, now I'm sweaty and exhausted.
Also just got the news that my parents' cat is very ill. After fighting a few infections this year, she continues to lose weight, so the diagnosis appears to be a form of cancer in her belly. At this point, they could cure it, but since it costs about as much to treat an animal as a human, they're probably going to choose for the least-favorite option.
My brother is a mess, my sister doesn't know yet, and my mom is now convinced she can't keep a cat to live longer than 10 years old, so she's done with having pets. :(
Not really the best news I want to hear when I felt like I was on my own deathbed this morning.
Stop helping me. Seriously. Keep your hands off my laundry. Stay out of my room. Do not touch my stuff. Don't prepare shit food and then say it's for me. Stop "trying to make my life easier."
I keep telling you what my boundaries are. I keep telling you that my brain is broken in certain ways and fucking with this will get you nothing but flack. You know I hate surprises. You know I hate people buying shit for me because 100% of the time it's shit I don't want, need, or use. But you keep doing it and keep getting your feelings hurt and keep telling me I'm evil and rotten and horrible.
Fine. I'll move out. Don't really have a problem with that, wasn't too keen on living here anyway. I came to help you with your bills, which I am paying an increasing amount of. But I'm all good with getting out of dodge.
If you can't LEAVE MY SHIT ALONE.
Fucking lag when gaming is the bane of my life.
HAY DEVS. Y U MAKE GAME GO AT HOSTS SPEED NOT SPEED OF PLAYER?
I was fucking shooting across the map at people who the next second would be in my damn face. It's a miracle I managed a single kill, let alone 50+
Hey, all. I ain't dead.
Just wishing I was, today, down with the ick. Given that I get no paid sick time because I temp, me staying home from work for a day is major shit.
I'm really not trying to be a cunt.
I'm trying to cut down on the clutter and shit I carry around. I do not need people getting me stupid shit to keep "for the memories".
There's a whole list and slew of shit I can't eat or won't eat because of REASONS. Getting upset when attempting to force-feed me that shit does not go well is not my fault or my problem.
Messing up my shit so that it takes me double the loads of laundry to get everything done or twice as many VARIOUS SUPPLIES because you 'know a better way' doesn't work. Fuck you, die in a fire, LEAVE MY SHIT ALONE.

Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better than I did this morning. I think I drank about two gallons of tea today, flushed the ick right out. :|
Good to hear ick is gone? And that ick is on its way out for Suu. Roger, your plant concerns me. Have you fucked with Lily yet?
I go back to school tomorrow! LAST SEMESTER. For a couple years, anyway. Depending on how shit goes, I can see myself going for a masters eventually. Time to hit up internships.

Not gone. :( Got sent home from work.
I'm goin' back to bed.
So, the scrubber tank on top of the cracking tower. Operations tried to turn the pumps back on.
:lulz:
"It was Joe Doake's job to drain it when we shut down for the freeze!"
"NUH UH! IT WAS YOUR JOB!"
As the horrible rain of acid, soda ash, water, and fiberglass continues to drizzle down 95 feet from where the tank was.
TGRR,
Doesn't have to talk to the EPA/ADEQ/PDEQ/Fire Marshall/etc, because it really ISN'T *my* responsibility.
Who does your hiring, the Keystone Kops?

Pretty much. But I expect most places are like this. Difference being, we don't blow up half the city when we fuck the doggie.
On the plus side, that tank WAS due to be replaced next month. Now it just gets done a little sooner.

Erh. MAHGERB. Roger, I think your plant would destroy half of pima county if you weren't there to hold it together.

I'm curious about the pre-Roger body count, too.
Just stopped another would-be fight in progress.
Plus side: no-one got glassed in the face.
Minus side: actually done by and to our students, meaning I'll have to do Paperwork...

Actually, it just didn't work 70% of the time.
We are an engine of research and development. When "profits" are mentioned, everyone laughs...Except Jim, who goes in the bathroom to throw up.
Your plants wields the toys of gods, and stumbles into all the ways to give the life expectancy of "Playmobil" product on a gas grill.
So I finally started working on that demo I'm releasing in two weeks. :lulz:
ERMAGEHRD HERMWERK
I am looking at my Post-It of Perpetual Change and observing that I have 13 lower-division classes to go, even though as of this term I have 59 credits, and it is occurring to me that I probably did not plan this out very well.
Actually, once I account for my minor it all makes sense because six of those classes are for my minor.
OK I'm cool. Whew.
On the other hand if I skip the minor I only have seven classes left. But skipping the minor would be DUMB. So I guess I'll try to knock out my transfer degree requirements in the next two terms and then start taking my upper-division psych classes at PSU while finishing up the chemistry I need for my minor at PCC.
OH FUCK YEAH I just looked and I think I wrote down all that chemistry because I was thinking about the biology major, I don't need it for a minor at all.
I don't appear to need physics either, so fuck that. It would be interesting, but I'm feeling a little goal-oriented, here.
