Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum

[The Johnny]

I was told there's a huge goth scene in Phoenix, and that this is possibly because it gives people an excuse to only go out at night.

BWHAHAHA

IT'S FUCKING 113F OUT THERE.

STAYING IN THE HOUSE.

NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE.

CAN I INTEREST YOU IN A TROPICAL STORM?!

-Suu
bedroom smells like tar.

[Freeky]

Gonna be warm this summer. 


The sun must be rather worried about Tucson, to be punching this hard.

[Salty]

Just an FYI: you might think, on ocassion, Alty must be high out of his mind to post that shit, sometimes.

But its not that. I do anywhere fr

om 10-20 hours of what essentially amounts to isometrics every week. Like doing Pilates that whole time.

This absolutely fries my brain. Its very strange. Well that and I don't enjoy food. I'm forcing myself to eat oatmeal right now because I'm shaking all over and hurt. Oh do I hurt.

But its the brain part that bothers me.

I honestly have never been tested for it, but I seem to have a mild case of hypoglycemia.  I'm far more likely to get dizzy, nauseous, confused and have migraines when I work out more.

...My favorite candybar...er...sports nutrition bar  is a clif builder bar... but if you're underweight and can eat nuts? I'd try nibbling on a handful of nuts every 2-4 hours.
You can constantly suck on a hard candy too, but this option isn't great for your teeth.

Oh.man, what I would give for a big handful of salty nuts...

I am allergic, in so many ways. That's been part of the problem recently, I've used almonds and peanuts for years to help this issue, but can't. Seeds help. Jerky helps. Anything I can fish out of a cushion in a food emergency is good.

Ah the depth of my digestive tragedy knows no bounds.
I'm allergic to ALL nuts.

You are only adding to the mystery of why people live there.

ECH, why do you prefer that galley over an actual restaurant? No snark, just really curious.

I had some long-winded bullshit all typed out, but the real answer is: The Sea. Of course.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I really can't believe the phone call I just got.

There is, apparently, a possibility (however tiny) that I will be offered my old job back sometime next year. The Phoenix was sold to a research institution who is apparently looking to land a 6 year contract with National Geographic to use the Phoenix as a platform for ROV operation. If it happens, they want our old Chief Engineer and Chief Mate to crew it. Chief Engineer called to make sure I was in if and when the time comes.

Of course, as with all things that are too good to maybe be true, there's a catch and this time that catch is "yeah, but you'd probably have to move to New Beige."

Still, I could have to move to goddamn Lagos, Nigeria and I'd still weep tears of joy if it meant I got to cook in that galley again for at least 6 years.

I missed this post before, making subsequent posts make no sense.

This is RAD.

And ABOVE ground, no less. With houses and lawns and driveways like it's some kind of normal place.

Also, that sounds pretty incredibly kick-ass, ECH.

In similar stories of unusual jobs in odd places, there's a sliver of a chance that I might land work for 4 months out of the year in either the Arctic or Antarctic, doing research assistance work. Far from guaranteed, but it would involve doing remote sensing work and that gives me a happy.

Missile silos

EXACTLY

I mean, I know that's where they keep the alien goo and other weird shit, but it's obviously been leaking to the surface for YEARS and the locals seem fine. Perfectly fine.

The middle levels would be ideal for dwelling, and the cool soil would provide natural AC. 
Liquifiable garbage could be mixed with the aforementioned alien goo and cast to the lower levels for reduction and rendering into the water table.
The vaulted doors could be shut tight against any interlopers.  Safe.  Finally Safe.
