Krookie Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Dang krook? your school not rent out an amusment park to prevent you from getting drunk, just for you to go out the next day and get completely wasted? thats what mine did Our "Project Graduation" (event designed to keep us from drinking after graduation) took place LAST night, because we had to add an extra day to the school year due to snowdays. Basically we got the best of both worlds - a school funded night of sober AWESOMENESS and a kegger thrown by a classmate. Just got home. Feeling awesome, in the sense that I could throw up at any minute. high school </3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 In Queenstown, NZ. Beautiful place down there For a bit of fun, gather some Aussies and Kiwis in the same room and ask who invented the Pavlova “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Humodour Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 In Queenstown, NZ. Beautiful place down there For a bit of fun, gather some Aussies and Kiwis in the same room and ask who invented the Pavlova Hahaha! Yes, so beautiful. I'll try and upload photos when I get back. I'm amazed by the diversity of people here. Like so many Brits, Americans, Aussies, Scottish and Irish. Relatively few Kiwis The CBD is pretty intense. Shops and people EVERYWHERE. Far too many for a town of 15,000 people. Tourist central. Still manages to be cheaper than Australia half the time. I am very tempted to return here in summer. Even given the transfer flight from Christchurch to Queenstown it's still cheaper than Europe or South America. Although it kind of feels weird travelling to another country and the culture being identical. Even the bloody street signs and coins look the same. I would like to experience something exotic. I'm thinking Brazil or Chile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Does anyone remember the name of that sport where Frenchmen jump around on rooftops that's in every action movie ever made after 2000 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Walsingham Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Did I mention that I very nearly invented that sport in Scotland in the 1980s?

Gfted1 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I'm thinking Brazil or Chile. Both excellent choices. Mind the crime in Rio. Seriously, they will steal your kidneys but its an unbelievable place to party. Valpariso Chile is simply one of the best places Ive ever been to. The locals are great and the women are smokin hot.

Gorth Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Had the "surreal" experience of having my credit card info pilfered somewhere and people using it to draw money from my account. Luckily it was discovered right away by the bank who contacted me, wondering why the heck I suddenly started spending lots of thousands of dollars worth of services (car rental, insurance etc.) in US, Canada and the UK. Got the transactions cancelled and all my money transferred back, the card blocked and fraud investigation underway. I think in the future, I'm not going to let go of my card when checking into hotels My otherwise excellently performing PC is standing still at the moment The external pump/reservoir combo broke down and I'm now on the hunt for a new cooling system. I don't think I'll ever get something as nice and quiet as the one I had though (the product has been discontinued).

LadyCrimson Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Watched a sloppy-crazy yet entertaining to watch baseball game between the Red Sox & the SF Giants. Pedroia nearly breaking his foot wasn't good news tho. On the bright side, I like both teams so it almost doesn't matter who wins/loses. It's been a relatively quiet week...looking forward to a quiet weekend. “Things are as they are.

Monte Carlo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 ^ Are you going to pimp it? Why not take the roof off and upholster it in leopard-skin faux fur stuff. Then get some groovy alloys and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think you should establish a system whereby you can fill the interior with an actual aquarium. Then sit in it in your bathing trunks.

Gfted1 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I also have a 2004 Hyundai but my model is XG350L. I heartilly recommend Hyundai as mine has been no problem at all and Im approaching my 100,000 mile warranty expiration (knocks on wood).

Meshugger Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I bought Alpha Protocol And DA: The Awakening for a mere 38 euros + free shipping. Kind of a bargain, i would say.

Kor Qel Droma Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I had some blood work done this morning, then an x-ray done right after. I'm glad this fasting crap is over with. Currently I'm sitting at a pizza buffet, making up for twelve hours of not ingesting anything. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

LadyCrimson Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Bought a soundbar speaker for the TV. It's not like having a 10 speaker surround system but it's actually not too bad. Still needs a subwoofer for real bass tho. I sure miss the huge Radioshack tower speakers we used to use years ago that made the couch/floor literally rumble even at low volume. All this new fangled sound stuff, while it's definitely 'cleaner' sounding & you can get plenty of bass, most of it still, to me, doesn't have the same kind of bass impact that those old systems had. I don't know if that makes sense...but there it is. “Things are as they are.

I don't know if that makes sense...but there it is. Might have to with acoustics. I'm having the exact same setup I used to have in my new apartment, and there's absolutely no impact in bass. Sometimes it just works out that way. 5.0 setup here. Need a sub, as a decent sub would be at least in the same 1,5k euro ballpark my tv and amp were, I'm currently restrained by my grad student budget from obliging my desires.
