Orogun01 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 @ Raithe: I hope her healing goes well! I have an update about tarna. He just left me a message and wanted me to share that he has to go back into the hospital for another - unexpected - surgery or two. I will post any updates as I hear them, but please do hold him in thought & with intention. Is is it serious surgery or something minor? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Fionavar Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 It is connected with the seriousness of what has occurred previously - so though on it s own it may not be 'serious' consider what he has been through, it is certainly of concern.

Malcador Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Having a really clumsy weekend, almost fell down the stairs, twisted my ankle and today went shopping and forgot two things on the list. Feh.

Prosper Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Today I took a very big risk and applied for a job at Bethesda. Game Programmer. But felt, probably like many others, it was about time. I really spent too long dancing around. Now I can see what the B-man thinks. http://i.imgur.com/ViMnA.png redacted
LadyCrimson Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Went shopping. We bought $300.50 of groceries. Yeah, that's always a bit of a shock. I can keep my weekly groceries to around $120, but every few months I have to go all out and pick up a bunch of the bigger stuff. Usually I hit $400 when I go to Costco, but I try and only go there a few times a year. Weekly is about $150 for us, since the rise in prices 2-3 years ago. We could eat cheaper but we're lazy. And yeah, when we used to go to CostCo once a month or so (long long time ago), seemed like we could never get out of there spending less than a a couple hundred on all this extra stuff we really didn't need. Twas cheaper to stop going. Altho we do go every once in a great while. :D “Things are as they are.

Gorth Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 I have an update about tarna. He just left me a message and wanted me to share that he has to go back into the hospital for another - unexpected - surgery or two. Not really what we had hoped to hear, but thanks for the update “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Tale Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 I applied for a job. It's an interesting career prospect. I might even go so far as to call it potentially exciting. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Malcador Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Does it involve tremendous amounts of self-perpetuation paperwork ? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Tale Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Does it involve tremendous amounts of self-perpetuation paperwork ? Maybe. But it includes lots of travel and a 10 day workweek. Which sounds right up my alley! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Nepenthe Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) So finished my dissertation at 1:57 am last night. It's now off to the preliminary review by some Distinguished Professors (the kind of guys who need to be capitalised). In a few months I'll hear if I wasted the last three years of my life or not. Now sitting at the airport for the flight to Amsterdam. I've been here for twenty minutes, and I've already seen more fake breasts than in my entire life so far. And it's 6am. wtf. p.s. just realised this computer has dosbox and all the goldboxes. #winning Edited October 10, 2011 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

International Terminals can be interesting places to hang around in and observe people. Although, like so many other things, after the first 50 or so times it loses a bit of the novelty and you start using your accumulated experiences with such places to locate the quiet spots with a good view and try to achieve that semi-conscious state where one half of your brain is asleep and the other half is listening for your departure announcement “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Orogun01 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 In that case, fake boobs are better than no boobs I suppose You know that's not always the case, I prefer a shapely A cup over an unnatural looking C cup.

Raithe Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 You know it's going to be a good monday when it starts off with you being woken from slumber by a cat caterwauling outside your bedroom at 0600.... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Shryke Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 had first day at new job today seems pretty chilled. just sat around talking about games and watching tv i could get used to this when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Nepenthe Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 In that case, fake boobs are better than no boobs I suppose Surely it is the lady behind the boob that matters. Yes. Also not unrelated, I'm really enjoying being in the Netherlands again. Could be the fact I've been cooped up for the last 3-4 months. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Raithe Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Figuring out how to use paint.net while re-reading a report to figure out what pieces go where.... and with some yuki kajiura music in the background. Set to the occasional interruption from the dogs, the cat, and the one handed-mother. Actually had some of the general family stress last night which had my sister in a mood, and then she suddenly stopped and looked at me with wide-eyes and did the whole "hang on.. we've got six weeks of this till her hand is better.. thats.. going to lead us right up to christmas!" - Just the way she suddenly realised that, then did the whole..shoulder-hunch, inward cringe.. was quite amusing. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Hurlshort Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 I just bought a laptop for my wife. It's an early christmas present. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but it looked like a good deal and it will play games pretty solidly. Still kept it under $1000.
