The Last Whiskey Bar

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Well, I'm up at the time that my internal clock wants me to be, but way later than I want to be. Going to put on Cosmos and conk out. Good night alls.

I went on a date with a short, hot Satanist tonight.

My heart just really isn't in this dating thing.

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?



Well, I shouldn't laugh. I really shouldn't.

Two different guys, I think?

Makes perfect sense to me.  Have you seen the financial system lately?  It screams "designed by a passive aggressive geek with an inferiority complex".

I think youre right but cains comment makes up for my error.

Theres a clear downside to prefering to have your head covered by the blanket. I think ive previously been asleep before this became a problem.

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.

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.

[Cain]

That's pretty cool.

In a similar vein, this is a quadraplegic dude soloing ME3 multiplayer on Bronze.

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.

That is pretty badass!

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.

Yeah, it happens from time to time.

[Elder Iptuous]

you have, presumably, had a doctor stick a scope up your ass and take a look, right?

Yeah once a year, I've fissures from when I was a child that again tend to open when I am stressed. I've been told it's fine but if it happens for a prolonged period to take iron supplements.

[Elder Iptuous]

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.
