Calax Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well, turns out I'm one of two up for the slot at the adult shop now. Lower pay, better conditions, still have the application in with the bus company (have an exam with them at the start of next month) but I don't think they'll be happy with me as an employee because I'm an active student.

WDeranged Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Woke up mid afternoon with a hangover, threw myself into doing housework and random tasks then did a few hundred rows on the rowing machine. Now I'm listening to random podcasts and playing guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Went to a park today and saw the sun. Wish the wind would die down tho. Hubs is situated on the couch for the evening, watching his bad TV, so time for me to do a little gamin'. One of the things I like about Neverwinter Online is it's really easy to play for an hour and feel like you did something, unlike most MMO's. “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 My wife and I renewed our vows today for out 10 year anniversary. It was pretty emotional, lightened up by my son running circles around the pew in the church. Now I'm taking a break before the BBQ we are throwing to celebrate. You are all invited Congrats Hurlshot. I would love to come, thanks for the invite. Its not often you meet someone on the Internet who is prepared to invite people who he only knows on forums into his private home. I am impressed. Don't worry I am exactly the same in RL as I am on these forums so you won't be surprised by any weird behavior( unless you think my forum behavior is weird ). Just send me a PM with your home details. I don't need accommodation as I'll check into a hotel in the area. I look forward to meeting you and your family "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Walsingham Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bought some vintage nikes at a swapmeet, went to my sisters wedding, got so drunk I had trouble not falling off my bike on the way home.

Raithe Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Congrats Hurlshot. Hm, kind of made it out of bed some point past 11am. Okay, closer to noon. Made a couple of cups of tea, pondering on whether to take some ibruprufen and head back to bed for the afternoon. Found out nobody had emptied the dishwasher in the past couple of days so dealt with that before the side gets too stacked up. Sipping cuppa in a darkened room, while trying not to overly think too much. Actually might try watching Doctor Who before any decisions get mae.

Woldan Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Watching the 41. ADAC 24 hour race on the world famous Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany via livestream. Awesome. A 24 hour race on this track (the 24 hour version is actually even longer). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfW5_zjaMaw Edited May 19, 2013 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Blarghagh Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Grandma was diagnosed with aggressive leukemia, the doctor's mentioned "weeks". Less than one week, apparently.

Starwars Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Condolences TrueNeutral. Had a pretty great weekend. Spent it with the girlfriend, enjoying the great weather we've had here. Spent Saturday on the beach and it was... oh-so-nice. Then lieing awake far into the night, feeling the summer-ish night breeze blow in through the open windows, chatting about nothing and everything until falling asleep. I've missed that stuff. Felt really good. Also good news is that we've found an apartment which she'll be taking. It's out a bit in the "country" which she likes a lot. The apartment itself is located in a house from the early 1900s, and it's really wonderful. She was a bit afraid of moving into an apartment since she's lived most of her life in houses, but the way the landlord has set it up, it feels almost half-house, half-apartment. There is a garden where you can go crazy if you want to, as long as you take care of it. The apartment is spaceous and very "home-y" . It's also being renovated before she moves in next month. I'm holding on to my apartment for now, we're gonna see how it goes for us once she's moved out from her current place and is "free" of her ex-boyfriend. But it will be a great second home these coming months for sure. Even though I have to work a lot, this summer will be a really exciting one. 1 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yes. Sorry to hear that. Tried to think of something comforting to say and all I got was "badgers". Which is silly, not comforting.

Raithe Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Condolences TN. Loss and grief hits everyone in a different way, I think that's why there are so many different platitudes that flow around during those times. Still have remnants of yesterday's headache grinding away, along with a few other aches and icks. Almost has that onset "flu" type feel, but not quite. Had a cup of tea, been out for a short walk in the fresh air, sorting out some of those odds and ends that need to be dealt with at home. Got to establish a To-Do list for this week and make some attempt at plowing through it, along with trying out the EuroTalk Learn Mexican-Spanish software that arrived over the weekend. A little random pondering on John Hurt's appearance on Doctor Who in the background... can't make up my mind if he was meant to represent the "Final" Doctor or the Doctor during the Time War...

Walsingham Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Today I discovered that the man I consider to be the 'perfect' conductor - Herbert von Karajan - joined the Nazi party in 1933. Appropriately enough I was listening to Mozart's 'Lacrimosa' when I found this out. EDIT: I just accidentally inserted a into my written work. LOL.

Blarghagh Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks for the kind words, everyone. We're doing pretty okay all things considered, it's like she waited until all the relatives from far and wide had shown up and then passed. There's been tears and a few disagreements regarding funeral arrangements, but mostly everyone has made it through with enough closure to deal with it. Thanks for the laugh, Wals. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
