Nepenthe Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Snow day. Just dug our walk and driveway out of 13-14 inches of medium-wet white stuff.You're just a cigarette biat short of the good life. Been prepping for the big case next week... Tons to do and am deathly afraid I'm going to get sick. Not sure what you mean by the cigarette, but good luck with the case. Cigarette BOAT... 1 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep.

Hurlshort Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 On a whim, I put together a text adventure of Flappy Birds and ran through it with my students.

Monte Carlo Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Have been off work with a horrible illness. The meds are something else. Have been deeply into 'Naked Lunch' territory. Even more bizarre, due to biblical flooding, the cellar of my house is flooding. The prisoners down there are getting wet. Bwahahahahahaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 When I was a kid, my mother would haul out this metal popcorn popper. Oil in the bottom, kernels, put lid on, loud metallic poppopops while us kids giggled. Occasionally she'd pull out the JiffyPop instead, which was even more fun. Standing around the stove (or better, a fire) and watching it expand. By my 20's, we'd pull out ... the microwave popcorn bag. Microwaves were made for popcorn! And that's what we stuck with for ages. But then recently, I decided to try a pre-bagged popcorn from the grocery store chip aisle. Seems no worse than microwaved popcorn. So there it is. The evolution of my preparing/eating popcorn has come down to this: It's not as fun, but it sure is easy. Now excuse me while I go watch a movie. “Things are as they are.

Gorgon Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Now I feel like popcorn dammit. It's stormy outside though. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Settled into bed with some hot chocolate and a book last night.. and instead of just a chapter or three.. I ended up reading through the whole night. Realised it had gone 9am.. and managed to snooze for a couple of hours. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Guard Dog Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 It's cold and nasty outside, Lady GD is sick (occupational hazard being around sick people all day) so it sounds like a good day to stay on the couch, watch stuff on Netflix and make popcorn. Yes that second part just got added to the plan. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosbjerg Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Should be studying, but I'm really not in the mood. Nothing I do seem to really excite me or even cause any emotion.. Just bored and under-stimulated today. Busy day and week ahead though so I hope that gets me energized. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Nothing more humbling than thinking you can do something in two days and it takes you five days instead. How about thinking something is going to take you 6-12 months and it winds up taking 3,5 years? You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Blarghagh Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm not sure, on the one hand the feeling of inadequacy is stretched over a longer time so it should be easier to deal with, but I assume time amplifies the effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I don't know if there's anything exotic, we haven't tried, that I would really want to do. But generally a good idea, I think I'll go swing by the bar tonight, have a pint or two and go home with her. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Went out for a few drinks and conversation with some friends.

LadyCrimson Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 This evening, kept trying to watch a movie. Phone rings. Back to movie. Knock at door. Back to movie. Get hungry, make a snack, back to movie. Other than that, it was largely a snuggling with the spouse in a "we're so domestic-happy it makes you want to hurl" kind of day. “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Its an absolutely stunning day in Jhb today so some friends and I took a drive outside JHB to a really good restaurant called African Swiss, its owned by an Austrian expatriate and offers very authentic Swiss, Austrian and German good.

Labadal Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Watched the FA cup game, surprising result but am happy for it regardless. It was an exciting game with lots of missed chances and the worst refereeing this week. Hope Arsenal reach the final. I also hope they reach the CL final. Then they get a tired squad and we'll at least get CL qualification. A man can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
