Title: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 December 2007, 21:13:10 Topic is self-explainatory.
If I could explain my day using a comic, this would be it (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=240). Twas like someone shanked my gut.

Finished a paper during my spare that wasn't even due 'till friday. Did bad Basketball reffing during Gym. Had a field day writing poems about Native people during Native English.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Machine Man on 4 December 2007, 21:25:51 MY SCHOOL GOT SUED TODAY!!XD
Wanna know why? I'll tell ya: My school should have had a snow day today, but instead, those pompous ass bastards decided to be stupid and have a school day today. (I don't think that is their decision) BUT! They didn’t even consider what could happen to the School bus coming down the very steep hill. You probably know what happens next. The bus slides right on to a speed bump and falls over side ways. So now the school is being sued by a bunch of concerned parents. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 4 December 2007, 21:29:26 I'm going to ahead and say that it's the bus driver's fault, but I'm always up for suing schools.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Yubi Shines on 4 December 2007, 22:10:46 I wouldn't be as enthusiastic about suing the school, since money will get used on legal fees instead of things like lighting and upkeep on the furnace and so on.
Then again, I come from a high school that was falling apart at the seams, with vents that spat cold air in winter and brimstone smoke in the summer, and it squandered its funds on the sports teams while the computer classes were stuck with Photoshop 5 (and Limited Edition at that) and the lamps in photography were repaired with duct tape, so that's just me.

Thread Post by: MOX on 4 December 2007, 23:20:25 Well we were studying about blood or something and I felt queasy, but the weird thing is I used to draw bloody stuff all the time before and I never felt queasy, so I'm guessing it's just lack of sleep and a good breakfast that added to it.

My day: Got to work perfectly on time (eleven). Worked with backup (a welcome relief after yesterday's anxiety attack). Lunch at two with the Raybeast. Was allowed to leave early (Four) due to slow business. Found out I have Saturday AND SUNDAY off (after an eleven-day workweek). Left McDonald's. Let Ray know what was going on. Bought more gifts. Bought Ray's gift. Came home. Ate dinner. Had pie. Sat down. Felt better. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 5 December 2007, 03:19:42 I did a lot of things today.
First, I ate food. Then I went to school. Then I played Bop-It! and got kicked out of class for playing Bop-It! I vaguely remembered being told never to interrupt other people during a test. I vaguely remembered that Bop-It! is loud. I vaguely remembered that being loud counts as interrupting. I had sex. I vaguely remembered having a sexual dream but decided it was real. I drove home. I vaguely remembered that I had drum lessons back at the school so I drove back. I took my drum lessons. I vaguely forgot to pay the instructor. I vaguely remembered to pay the instructor. I vaguely went broke. I vaguely faded into a zombie-like state in front of the computer screen. VAGUELY. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I sucks being finished with classes and only having to wonder about the exams next week. Why they do this dead week thing I'll never know. Tomorrow I have to get that damn game my whole class has been working on in some sort of shape. The instructor obviously thought that making a huge website with several games in a class of mostly artists and beginning programmers with very few high-level students like myself in it was a great idea. Must remember to smite her later. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: CIMSomebody on 5 December 2007, 04:18:09 Today. . . sucked.
Okay, so like. First, I woke up to the heater repair man knocking on my door loudly after I'd only had a few hours of sleep. My parents apparently forgot to inform me that he was coming at such and such a time, and that I had to deal with him. |: I was not happy. Went back to bed for a few hours. Woke up again, because I had a dental appointment! Mom didn't tell me about that one either, haha. I got 3 of my teeth filled. I can't talk, I can't feel half of my freaking mouth. I can't eat and I can't taste. Urgh! After my appointment my mom bought me stuff. Good point of my day. But as we were leaving the mall, some retarded woman on her cellphone turning when she had no right of way. She got hit by another car, right in front of mine. She was obviously okay, because she was still talking on her goddamned cellphone with whomever. The people in the other car were okay, but at first I couldn't tell. The whole windscreen was cracked and I couldn't see them, but they got out. But this stupid bitch on her cellphone. . . her car was smoking and she just sat there, chatting away with whomever it was. I knocked on her window, waved at her for attention. STILL talking on the cellphone. I got pissed. I opened the woman's car door, said, "you need to get out because your car might catch fire." She did, but she didn't get off her cellphone. I immediately started ranting to her about how she could have killed someone, and talking on the cellphone while driving is ridiculous but she WAS STILL ON HER CELLPHONE. I was livid so I just grabbed her cellphone from her. "Hello who is this?" "Uhh. This is Jessica." "Yeah, well, good job Jessica. Your friend could have killed someone because she was talking to you. It's time to end this conversation and call 911 like a mature person. Bye." Then I dialed 911, gave the phone back and told her to have a nice #####ing night, talked to the people from the other car and then went home. Jesus christ on a mother#####ing tricycle. Do people these days get any more stupid? *sigh* Now, I'm home. . . hungry. And I can't eat because of my damn teeth. I loved my day. >:( Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I just can't stand when people are so dumb. She was only going like 15 mph when she got hit, while the person with the right of way was going around 50. They were hurt a lot more than her, and she was too busy on her cellphone to say SORRY. Or to even call 911 and inform them there was a crash. It's people like that that make me terrified of driving. >:( It doesn't matter how well I drive, there's always going to be some idiot who can mess things up. I hope she gets her license taken away. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Lunchebox on 5 December 2007, 04:32:13 My day was doing price changes for most of the day. Only reason I went along with it is because Merchandising/Unload team (That's my job) is going to get less hours come January, and the Admin or whatever is making me part of the core price changing team, that'll teach new people how to do it and stuff.
Groan. Hopefully I'll be able to get a second Job at Jerry's Deli to balance it all out. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Machine Man on 5 December 2007, 19:50:06 Had a game of dodge ball, then had a snow ball fight, a LONG snowball fight.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 6 December 2007, 01:46:49 Today was a surprise for me, since I had to help do a presentation on our Software Engineering project that I didn't know we were doing today instead of actually on the freaking exam date like the calendar said, but whatever, it was done.
Unfortunately I went first of the first, and sort of sped through most of my garbage, although I'm wonderfully concise, so that didn't matter much. I also played some more Oblivion, and beat up a gang of chicks who used their bodies as bait to attract men to rob. It's funny. I'm only level 17, and already I'm godlike compared to the NPCs.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 6 December 2007, 20:47:45 My day was great. I went on a school field trip that skipped all my blocks. I went to Daytona USA where I took a trolley tour around the race-track, watched a 3D NASCAR movie, ate lunch, and rode a NASCAR simulator game. I drove backwards on the track, driving the Kellogs car (#5 I believe), ramming into anything that moved.
On the way back to school, I saw a hilarious scene with a cop pulling over an old lady on her whatchamacallit (motorized shopping cart thing). My whole school day was at Daytona USA, and on the way home, my friend had to get off at a different bus stop because his own bus stop was now a crime scene. Apparently, someone found a bag filled with body parts. Twas was pretty interesting. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Good day. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 8 December 2007, 05:42:22 Eh, it was okay. Got up at noon after sleeping for 8 1/2 hours, took a shower, and went off to see The Golden Compass and No Country for Old Men (second time I've seen it). After the movies I went into Hot Topic and picked up a Soundwave t-shirt (my favorite Transformer), the Guitar Hero III soundtrack, and a knit cap that has an NES controller on it that says "Original Gamer Est. 1985". Since then, I've been watching episodes of Gundam Wing and will soon be playing Mass Effect...

Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 8 December 2007, 19:33:53 When I awoken this morning, I realized I was inside my Nanni's house. I remembered that I slept here last night so of course I'd awaken here. I checked the clock beside me and it said 12:33. I decided to get up and have some brunch.
I entered the kitchen and I saw my Nanni watching TV. The living room is right beside the kitchen. My Nanni has always loved watching movies on TV ever since she came here from Italy. I entered the fridge and took out four pieces of sliced bread. I put two of the pieces in my Nanni's toaster. I then got some coffee that my Nanni made and poured some into a mug I found in the cupboard. I only filled half of the mug with coffee an I poured the other half with milk. Since the milk cooled down the coffee I decided to put it in the microwave to warm it up again. The first pair of toast was done. I took them out and laid it on the counter. I then grabbed the other pair of bread and set it in the toaster. I started to put a little butter on one piece of the finished toast and peanut butter on the other finished toast. I stuck them together and then I cut them in half, corner to corner. By this time my coffee was done in the microwave but since I wasn't done with making my toast I decided to leave it in there in hopes that the already warmed microwave will keep the coffee warm. I grabbed a plat and put the toast I finished making on it. Now the other pair of toasted bread was done so I did the same thing I described above to them. After that I put them on the plate. I didn't want to make too much of a mess so that's the reason why I grabbed the plate in the first place. Since my toast was done I decided to set the table up for myself. I grabbed a napkin from the counter and put it on the table. The table is in the kitchen, by the way. I then picked up the plat and set it on the left side of the napkin. I then wiped all of the crumbs that I left on the counter. After this was all done, I went for the microwave to grab my hopefully warm coffee. As I opened the microwave my mom got scared, she said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air!" I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I can say this cab is rare but I thought "Now forget it; Yo homes to Bel Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie "Yo homes, smell ya later!" I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there: To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air.

I learned how to make sangria. It was tasty. I learned that papercuts on your fingers bleed at an astonishing rate. I learned that if you have a papercut on your finger, and you're slicing lemons for the sangria, for god's sake don't squeeze the lemon juice with your cut hand. Also, I got a pet christmas cactus.

Good day. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 22 December 2007, 10:37:09 Cineplex Christmas party night. That was fun stuff. There was a load of prizes. My brother and I actually shared the craziest hair award. The prize was a #####in' brush. My brother got hair gel.
At the end of the party people piled into two separate auditoriums to either watch National Treasure or play... well, it wasn't my choice, but they were playing Halo 3. Despite the game choice it was still neat to play on the big screen. I won this crazy golden broom thing, called the "Golden Broom" award. The thing is an actual broom, spray painted gold. I also won an I Am Legend gift pack: a toque (yeah you heard me bitch), a t-shirt, and three... three golf balls. Well, I enjoyed the movie, so it's all good. When most of us were finished with Halo 3 we were hanging out in the lobby area. A man walked into the building between the two entrance doors and he was just walking around back and forth, staring at us. Needless to say people were creeped out. So he went into the corner. Then he was staring at us from around the corner. Eh... I wasn't really worried about the guy. There were like 8 of us even if he actually could get through the doors, so he'd have to be a major tank, but everyone was freaked out nonetheless. Some people started treating him like he was in a terrarium (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:Terrarium&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title) or some #####. They were like "Where'd he go? I wanna see him!" At that point I was just like "No, you don't. Don't worry about it, just... go play Halo." Anyway our General Manager came out, threatened to call the police, and he eventually left after several minutes. And then most people left and a guy (assign name: Tyler) and I were staring at the "The Dark Knight" poster, reading the red ##### at the bottom, trying to "decipher" it. Tyler was like "State of... something," and I saw "for the" in the middle so I was like "State for the... wait. A... wtf." Anyway Tyler was way off with the state thing and I figured it out. Rather simple when you get the first five words. The last word is big, but you'll know the line, so... yeah. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 6 January 2008, 16:42:07 Yesterday was okay. I got home from work around 9:30, to which I changed out of my work clothes and put on normal clothes and went to Eat'n Park for breakfast with my parents. That was good, since I was originally scheduled to be working until 2 PM (which would have resulted in me working both jobs for 24 hours). After breakfast we got my sunglasses and I called up my bank since I never got a new debit card. The conversation with the lady on the other end (who sounded like she hated her job and anyone that called her) was odd, because I wasn't sure if she was there half the time. I'll be getting a new card in 7-14 days...hopefully it gets here by this Saturday, otherwise my parents will have to forward it to me.
After that, I napped until 5, when I took a shower. My mom made me kelbasa skillet for my birthday dinner, which was great because I haven't had it for at least a year. After that, I opened my presents, which were some dress clothes, a Transformer, and a DVD. I also had a cake, which was yellow cake with chocolate icing. Good stuff. The Steelers were playing the Jaguars, so I watched that upstairs while messing with my new Transformer (took me around 15 minutes to get it into Robot mode) and talking to some friends on the phone. Apparently God wasn't answering all of my prayers, because even though the Steelers came back, they still lost. I ended the night rereading some of my Golgo 13 manga, but I fell asleep around midnight. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Voulnet on 6 January 2008, 17:39:37 That's all, Jacob?

BUT NOW THAT THAT'S OVER WITH I HAVE SCHOOL YAY! ... Well, now I don't work so much because everyone is back from vacation... plus I made $400 in two weeks. So I guess that's good.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 15 January 2008, 02:36:44 Okay for Animation our portfolios were due sometime in early April (like the 16th), so I think you've got time. I don't think you'll have too much to stress about with getting into Game Dev, everyone I know who's in it got in on their first try. I'm not sure but I think the Graphic Design program at the school is kinda bleh.
Either way there's always a good fall back, and that's the Pre-Animation/Illustration program (which I took in 2005-2006 when it was still just called Pre-Animation and was more focused on getting you into Anim), which is basically a year that trains your skills to make up a good enough portfolio to get into Animation (which is one of the harder programs to get into) and I guess Illustration. The profs are top notch. Good luck, dude! My college rocks. Today 9-13 : Character Animation II. 14-16 (+staying to work until 19:00) : Computer Animation. Now: Storyboarding homework. ::sigh:: Tired. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 15 January 2008, 02:39:45 I was looking into it at one point, but never seriously, seeing as I was only interested because you mentioned it was a good animation school.
I'm starting out generic and not leaving the state, I've been accepted to Western Michigan University and Saginaw Valley, both Michigan schools. I've yet to decide which one I'll be attending, plus there's another application that hasn't been responded to yet. Also, do you know of a summercamp called Camp Tamakwa or something? A lot of girls around here used to go there, and I just found out it's in the Algonquin area. I'm too lazy to look up the specifics, but perhaps you've heard of it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 15 January 2008, 02:47:10 That's in Algonquin Provincial Park.
Algonquin Provincial Park =/= Algonquin College. But the park is massive (7630km sq.) and is close to both Ottawa and Toronto (they are a 4 hour drive from each other).

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 15 January 2008, 03:45:28 Thanks for the heads up, Mike, It's kinda too bad that I already applied for five colleges or I might have considered that Illustration program. >_>
It sucks too. Two of the colleges I applied to were taken off my list. One because Boreal is a French only College (which I didn't realize until AFTER applications) and two because I was required to go to Centennial for about two hours before having to go home. Seeing as Centennial is in Toronto, my dad wasn't very willing to drive there just for two hours. The last three programs I got left are the Game Development program for Algonquin, the Graphics Design program in Algonquin, and the 3D Gaming program in Durham. Algonquin is on top of my list, though, because it seems the like the best college with that program. Graphics Design and 3D Gaming are just something to fall back on. What kinda bothers me, though, is that I have to send them a letter of interest... and that's it. Fine and dandy, but it doesn't really specify what the letter has to look like and what should be included on it, etc... I'm going to have an English teacher at my high school to check it out but I'm not sure if it's good enough... Maybe I'm stressing too much over this. The fact that I know I have a little more time to hand in portfolios takes off a little bit of the stress off... but with work, essays due, presentations due, exams, and preparing for college is a little too much for me at the moment... And I'm not even done half of the year yet... Though, I feel a lot of the pressure will die down once semester two starts... I just hope this gets over with and I get into the college. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 15 January 2008, 03:51:42 What? I totally forgot you were serious so I was just playing along like you were joking.

I don't know if I've ever technically won a fight though, as I stop when they quit so I don't actually hurt them too bad. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 22 January 2008, 03:14:45 Don't worry, Vinch, I'm not gonna' pressure you. I was curious is all.
I love fighting with my younger brother, if only because he actually thinks he can hurt me. I actually do the thing where I pretend to be hurt, he'll start feeling guilty, and then I'll shift my expression from "Ugh, that hurt!" to "You're royally #####ed" and then hold him a headlock until he screams mercy. It's a lot of fun. I don't ever actually HURT him, though, methinks. I could be wrong. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

To anyone who might take that message the wrong way, I don't mean that anyone lives here are unimportant, I meant mine. I honestly don't think you guys should care about my life, and that's why I barely mention anything that happens to me in the real world other than a tidbit here or there. ... When my Grandpa died, I continued posting here like nothing happened. In real life, I felt sad of course. But none of you guys ever known that... Well, I think I told Dyne but we're out of touch now. But when he said, "I feel sorry for you," I don't think he really meant it. He probably forgot about it in an hour. I don't blame him, though. I'm the same and I'd imagine it everyone else is.

I haven't been this tense for a long time now... I have to say, though, washing my hair was a little bit of a painful experience.

My sister's getting married soon and is having a bridal shower. My other sister's making the invitations to said party. The sister who's getting married wanted to print them and so had me fill in the date and print them. After asking her exactly where she wanted the date put I did so and printed them. Said sister then yelled at me for putting it in the wrong place. Even though I put it exactly where she told me to. Oh well, the cards were from the 99 cent store anyway.

CV: Wow. I'm a big guy, and I rarely exercise nor have I taken any other gym classes before grade 12 (except grade 9 because that's mandatory). But... this gym class was the most fun class I've had beside art. I loved the teacher, and I loved the exercise we did. Even that 12 minute run we had to do three times (its where we have to run our fastest for 12 minutes straight) was a fun thing. And my class mates (who were mostly big and strong guys) accepted me pretty well into the group and we had fun times together in the class. I regret not taking any of the other gym classes and this gym class has motivated me to join Soccor this year. Anyway, Semester 2 is just around the corner for me... This year, during Semester 1, I had Art Grade 12 College, a spare (no class during this time), Gym Grade 12 Mixed, and Native English Studies Grade 11 College. I had fun in Art the most. Gym was pretty awesome, and NES was OK. It wasn't a hard course, but I still need to do the examination for that class come next Wednesday (Art and Gym don't have exams). Semester 2, though... this will be the hardest and worst semester yet when it comes to classes. Math Grade 12 College, Auto-Machine Grade 11 Mixed, Physics Grade 12 College, and English Grade 12 College. I still have no idea about the Auto-Machine class, but all I know is, that class doesn't have an exam. Math and Physics are going to be ugh. As easy as math is for me, it's too repetitive for my tastes. English will hopefully not be hard... depends on what teacher we'll get (still have no idea, nobody does). Still, though, that's THREE examinations in one semester. The last time I had three exams was in grade 9. This is going to be really tough, especially considering I'm going for high 80s in these classes. BTW, I Americanized my class names to make it sound easier to understand. Art Grade 12 College is supposed to be AVI4C. Uhh, I don't think Auto-Machine is what it's supposed to be, but I had no idea what else to call it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 24 January 2008, 00:31:50 I may seem odd, but I love Precalculus and Physics.
Good teacher, fun learning. ALSO, I have been a student instructor for a gym-type class for 3 years now, in which the students climb trees and crap. It's all about teamwork and trust, and it's a blast. I love belaying some sqeemish girl at the top of the 45 foot high rope bridge and TRYing to get her to fall off it (as being let down on a rope is safer than climbing back down the tree). Even better is when we get a fearless climber who likes to break records pretty much running up the tree and sprinting across the ropes. One guy climbed up 45 feet and sprinted 35 across in 28 seconds flat. We had an indoor cargo net and the same kid climbed up it (35 feet) in 9.2 seconds. Great class. Especially when you tie your harness on backwards and superman off the element and are let to freefall for a good 15 feet before slowed, then stopped with your feet 5 feet off the ground and ya get pushed around and #####. The sucky part is that for 3 weeks in the winter, we do CPR as well, which is boring. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 27 January 2008, 00:38:44 Today I played NMH all day. It isn't as fun now that I've beaten it, but Mild is a bit more difficult, so I guess it's okay. I mean, I had to fight Shinobu three times just to beat her. I mean I only died once three times on Sweet, so bleh. I shudder to think of how difficult Bad Girl, Jeane, and Henry are going to be, they're the three that killed me on Sweet. Then the rest of the day I tried to find something better to do. I played a little Guitar Hero 2, but I quickly grew bored of it because after not playing it in like two weeks I forgot where the buttons were and stuff so I was doing pretty badly. Then I tried to find something else to do again, then I saw Lyndon. So yeah, I sat with him for awhile, outside even, he usually goes crazy when anyone goes into his backyard, yeah, it's really weird, when he's inside he's always good and stuff, but outside he'll usually start jumping and biting. So then I went inside and decided to go on Wikipedia and quest for useless knowledge, so I started by learning more about Goichi Suda, then I suddenly saw under trivia that he had once said that one day he'd like to make a character more cute and loveable than Mario. That was quite a revelation to me, I never would have believed that Suda 51, the guy who makes the bloody, awesome games which usually involve assassins and/or luchadors would strive for such a goal. Then suddenly I remembered that I think luchador are awesome, so then I decided to equip myself with knowledge on luchadors. Then I said "Man, lucha libre sure is awesome." Then my Mom brought me a box of Girl Scout cookies, 'cause she ate the box that I bought from some random girl at my school who I took driving school with last year. Then I said "But Mom, why would you eat a box?" and we lawl'd. So then I ate some Girl Scout cookies, they were pretty good, and I even actually read the side of the box, it just pointed out that the Girl Scout program actually does help girls become good people, ya know, teaching life skills and stuff. Then I... typed this. M'yeah, I have no life.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 27 January 2008, 01:34:41 Sorry, I have to deal with my own fears first. Seriously, Bad Girl is one scary bitch. I mean, she lives in a secret basement under a baseball stadium. She decorated the hallway leading the her room with blood, she wrote 'Want some Sugar?' on the floor in blood. Her room is an old batting cage full of dead corpses and pink furniture, she even has a little pink fridge, and everything in it's beer, she has a drinking problem, she also doesn't properly dispose of the cans or the dead bodies, she just leaves 'em on the floor. Also the way she dresses, so creepy, she wears a goth lolita/magical girl type outfit, and it's pink, also the skirts too short and you can see her nasty panties. Also, remember how I mentioned her room is a batting cage? She replaced the place where the balls were launched with a conveyor belt linked to a room where she keeps a bunch of abducted men in bondage suits, they come down the little conveyor belt and then she bashes their head in, those men also don't have a problem with helping her out if it's there only alternative to death, but she'll bash them across the room anyway. Worst of all, her weapon of choice is a baseball bat, not too creepy huh? Wrong! She'll freaking go crazy with it. Like she'll lay on the ground looking all in pain and stuff, if you run over and try and deal a finishing blow she'll spring up and knock you down, then she'll go to town all over you with that bat until your head is just a bleeding mass of pulp. I mean, even if you stab her through and leave the damn sword in she'll jump on you and just try with all her being to bash your skull in with that bat, so damn creepy.

Four Seasons (it's a produce factory in PA) had some layoffs last year, and it hit the shift that I work(ed) on really hard. Anyway, my boss had a meeting today with the higher-ups, and they informed her today that in a few weeks, third shift will be no more. Everyone will get moved to various jobs in the company on first and second shift.
I'm glad that everyone still has jobs in the company, but this feels wrong. My former boss will now be working first shift sanitation, making $9/hr. She deserves better than this, she really does. For me, making money during the summer and winter months never really mattered, because no matter how little I made (summers I would make just over $5000, winter, close to $1000), my college loans would make up the rest.

I mean, if you're down in the dumps, this is a good example on how selfish it is to kill yourself. I don't know either of them except for the fact that they're members of the club and one was in my English 2 class, but I just want to get into a time machine and atempt to stop it. I can't imagine at all how her sister is handling it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 31 January 2008, 03:30:03 I really don't know if I think someone should live a life they are done with, and be dead inside, because other people will have a hard time dealing with their death. There are so many levels to suicide, you can't just shrug it off as selfish like that.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 31 January 2008, 03:33:48 True. I worded it wrong, because I'm not entirely calling her selfish. It'd be wrong for me to do so, because I don't know the whole story.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 31 January 2008, 06:39:29 If the only reason you're living is to make other people happy, you're pretty much... this is an exaggeration, but you're pretty much a whore. There are some things that you must do for yourself.
There are also situations where people have found it altruistic or utilitarian to commit suicide. For example, if you think you're a worthless burden on society, killing your lazy-ass self is an easy way to amend that. Like Mikero said, there's too many factors. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Yubi Shines on 1 February 2008, 16:12:35 I think if you genuinely think there's nothing going for you, no one should be able to stop you.

That includes saying goodbye properly to family and friends. Not a note. Too much of the trauma afterwards is the "why did they do it." Anyway. Things are slow and I am tired. Snowstorm today.

Anyway, today was possibly the most fun I've had in a while. Before school, I have to park in the students lot, but after school, we chill in the band room for a while, so I let my friend drive my car up with me in it. See, he's already 17 and hasn't even taken driver's training yet due to personal problems, so I let him drive very short distances like across the school parking lot to the band room. So I told him to park but he got cocky and drove further towards a circular couldesac-type bit behind the school. Our friends were in another car pulling up to the same lot right behind us. I'm like "Hey, man, park or I'll jump out of the car!" so I opened the car door at about 15MPH and pretended to jump... I don't know what came over me but I randomly decided to jump out towards a snow bank that looked cushy. I didn't even get close and I hit the ground hard. I have a high tolerance for pain, though, so I jumped right back up and started running after the car because my dumb buddy was still driving. At this point the car behind us with my other friends pulls up and we have a "great" idea: use one guy's high-quality camera that we were using earlier to tape the school's pep assembly... to videotape me doing that same bit again. Crazy moron I am, I was all for it. It was fun despite the pain, and the whole freaking fact that I'm jumping out of a moving car. So we go for a second round. I take off my green hoodie now because I don't want to ruin it on the concrete. I'm oddly not worried about my own flesh. This time I stand outside the door a bit and launch off, completely lose my orientation and land flat on my ass. Totally scraped up my elbow and my wrist, but I jumped right back up and started running after the car again. This is all on video and is absolutely hilarious. It'll be uploaded to Youtube soon enough and I'll post it. Anyway, there's still more. Bud A, as I'm going to call him, was the one I let drive my car. He's kind of a big kid, not super-huge, but still overweight. Kinda' round. We all convince him to try it once. For whatever reason, he agrees. I drive around the circular drive and he hops out for a good old fashioned tuck'n'roll and he is successful ---- except the guy with camera got a horrible angle. We couldn't see. For WHATEVER reason, he agreed to do it again for a better angle. This time, we go for it and he sort of leaned out to much and instead of jumping out, he just FELL out. As in, face-first roll. The worst part? My wheel drove over his foot. I stop the car immediately and everyone runs out, all 6 or 7 of us. The camera-guy is still in the other car, sticking out the sun-roof videotaping Bud A keeling in pain on the ground. None of us know what the hell to do, he's cursing like a madman and I'm standing there scared #####less. He recovers, miraculously, with nothing broken. He gets up and we help him inside and he rests for a while. This injury was not for naught, though - we got TWO camera angles. Two high-quality cameras taped the feat. One guy was standing outside on the sidewalk and got a perfect view directly in front of him, and the other guy, as I already mentioned, was taping from the other car's sunroof. The video is seriously material that you'd see on that show Scarred. If he had really hurt himself, we probably would've sent it in... "unfortunately", he's 100% okay. A bit sore, yeah, but we were all surprised to see him get up. He's very lucky. Later on, we go to K-Mart and mess around everywhere. We bought a dodgeball for three bucks and went outside in the parking lot. We threw it at each others' nuts as hard as we could. Then we went to Guitar Center and #####ed around for an hour or so. We're retarded. I'm gonna' miss these guys when I graduate. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 9 February 2008, 03:54:41 tl;dr

1) Why did it take so long for a black superhero to get his own comic book? 2) Why did the creator/writers choose to have most of Power Man's enemies in the first few comics be white people? (A gimmie question, I know) 3) How is Power Man a creation of society? 4) What different black stereotypes are seen in the first six issues? What different kinds of black characters do we see, as classified by Bogle (one of the articles that we have to read for Monday, but I'm not covering that article - nice tie-in though)? 5) How well does the Luke Cage, Hero for Hire series represent black culture, especially of that time period? I might change the questions as I read more stuff, but those are the ones that I'm currently going with. I start my accounting internship in the controller's office at my college on Tuesday morning. Yippy-skippy. As per usual, my roommate and I went to the movies. I've been trying to get him to see Michael Clayton since it first came out back in what, November? But he wouldn't do it, so we decided that we'd just see Juno today. We got an early start to our trip, since he needed to find a plush puffin; his new girlfriend loves them and he's going to buy her one for Valentine's Day. Anyway, as we're getting close to the shopping center near the movie theater, he says that he needs to take a dump. The bathrooms are clean at that theater, so he says that we'll just buy our tickets there for Juno (a 3:15 show) and then he'll go inside and take a dump, even though the movie wouldn't begin for another hour (it was around 1:45 PM). So we stand in line and he goes first, and tells the lady "One for Michael Clayton". I just stood there dumbfounded as he bought his ticket and went inside. I bought my ticket and went inside, not even sure what to make of it. Here's a movie that I've been trying to get him to see for months, he kept telling me that he had no interest, and suddenly he wanted to go see it. According to him, he enjoys doing stuff like this for fun, as he also tortured me over Rambo and the upcoming film Jumper. Michael Clayton was great. It kept me in my seat, especially with the explosive ending that kept me guessing. George Clooney is good when he does a drama (Good Night and Good Luck was incredible), so that was one of the main reasons why I wanted to see it, plus the early Oscar buzz (which ended up with this film being nominated for Best Picture even though it doesn't have a chance in hell of winning it) helped that along. Highly recommended. After that we went to Panchero's, which is a Mexican food restaurant that specializes in burritos and quesadillas. Good stuff, I love my burritos with nothing but rice, steak, chicken, and corn salsa in there. We went to see a 5:40 showing of Juno, which I thought was good. I don't know if I'd say that it's "Best Picture" worthy, but it was definitely good. Only problem that I had with it is that some teenagers might get the wrong message that if they get pregnant, everything will turn out fine and they'll go through it with plenty of ease. Still, the girl who played Juno was great and there were plenty of laughs. Continuing our mission for a plush puffin, we hit up a bunch of stores, never finding one. There's penguins out the ass, no doubt to the number of penguin-related films that have been released over the last couple of years, but I was surprised that we couldn't even find a puffin Beanie Baby. All was not lost though, as I picked up the Collector's Edition of Devil May Cry 4 (with bonus art book), 6 Transformers, and two gaming magazines (EGM and Xbox; Barnes and Noble didn't have any new issues of my UK favorites, Edge and GamesTM). Good day all in all, as I'm now playing Devil May Cry 4 (it kicks awesome ass) while talking to a friend that I haven't talked to for a month. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 February 2008, 21:18:34 I drove around alone in my Mom's car. Pretty cool day. I wanted to get Yu-Gi-Oh! 2008, but neither Gamestop or the Flea Market had it. Big dissappointment.
However, the drive wasn't pointless. I managed to grab Tales of the Abyss and an Action Replay for the DS. EDIT: <3 Cheagles. "Mieu Mieu~!" Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 10 February 2008, 23:36:34 Yesterday was pretty fun. See, for winter drumline, our band teacher had rightfully NOT signed us up for a competition over winter break, but the organization pulled out the rulebook or some dumb ##### like that and said we had to perform yesterday.
Now, our drumline instructor is a pretty cool guy, so he didn't force the entire drumline to go, plus some of us were on vacation anyway. So, instead, he skimmed the rules and put up the bare minimum: We needed 8 performers, and 4 minutes of showtime, with at least some marching. 8 of us volunteered and our instructor pretty much set up a show that was just a big "##### You" to the organization, except in a nice way. We devised the makeshift show to just be a big joke: We played the most basic warm-up excersize for about a minute, which is essentially straight eighth-notes under the guise of the name "8-8-16" with alternating hands. Then we played a slightly more interesting yet much longer and dragged out excersize 16 times, marching forwards and backwards at random times. To top it off, we played our pep band groove akin to the beat of "This Is How We Do" for the remainder of the 5 minutes. All the other drumlines got a kick out of it because of how ridiculous the whole thing was. We got 1st place, too, because everyone else competing in our class didn't have to do this bull##### show... but in the end it was pretty funny. I went to GameStop later that night and bought a Classic Controller for the Wii. I really wanted to play the Donkey Kong Country games again, and the GCN Controller wasn't cutting it. I must say, it's a nice controller. Not good for NES games, though. Well, I mean, I'd just rather use the sideways Wii-mote. Lastly, those videos of me jumping out of my car will have to wait: the kid with the camera went on an impromptu vacation to Vegas with his family. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 11 February 2008, 01:00:36 Things I have to do tomorrow:
Before 3:30 PM - yell at my advisor for switching up my schedule this semester without telling me; there's the posibility that I may not graduate on time because of this. This is going to be tricky, because if he puts it back to my 3-credit internship (as it was originally), then all I have to do is go tell the Student Accounts group to take off the $425 that they're trying to charge me. If he won't change it, then I'll have to go yell at my advisor that 1) He should have told me he was going to switch it. 2) He should have told me about this so I could drop out of my Money & Banking class. Last day to drop out and not have it effect your student history was TWO DAYS AGO. 3) He's going to have to figure out what I am going to do now, because my schedule for this semester was built around the fact that I was only doing a 90-hour/3-credit internship. It would be impossible for me to do a 180-hour/6-credit internship and graduate on time at this point. 3:30 PM - Hand in a 2-3 page paper about how the costumes, dialects, sounds, and music effect the ideas of the future and multiculturalism in Blade Runner. 6 PM - Hand in a 3-4 page paper about the racism seen in the Superman newspaper comic strips, along with discussing the hardships of the Japanese-Americans placed in American concentration camps. 7:30-ish PM - Lead a discussion about the first six issues of Luke Cage, Hero for Hire. 9 PM - Attend a meeting at my college's anime club to discuss when/where/etc we're going to hold our game night. Glee. Tomorrow is going to suck. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Abominator on 11 February 2008, 13:26:46 Today is MIND BOGGLING.

But it should be "DSes" because the DS's (which is wrong) or the DS' (which is more wrong) aren't owning anything thing. Apostrophes before the "S" (or just an apostrophe after the "S") is referring to someone owning something. "DSes" is right because when something ends with an "S" and needs to be in a plural form, adding "es" will show that. Though, then we get weird words like "Moose" which is plural and singular.

Nothing much. It was still a good day despite getting caught in the rain. One of those situations where the rain waits to ambush you until JUST when you need to go somewhere, and the cuts off JUST when you get out of it. Love it. I also colored some Wind pictures because Wind is fun to color! Today is looking to be swell as well.

Ya know, my place of video solitude and stuff. But, the door wouldn't open. I seriously, kind of freaked for a second. Then I remembered I moved the furniture around the day earlier, so like, this stupid table that no one uses is now blocking the door. I'm really lucky that there's a random second door into my Game room, so it's cool. The only problem is, I have to walk through the bathroom to get to it. That's a small price to pay for the new setup, the couch actually faces the TV now, and there's even floor space for playing my Wii if I ever feel like standing up, which it's actually nice to stand up to play something like Wii Sports or somethin', you know.

Thread Post by: ASR on 21 February 2008, 03:40:34 Today it was my friend's birthday, so we went to his house while his entire extended family was throwing him a party. At first we felt out of place but by the end of the night we were joking along with his grandma, cousins, etc., all of whom we had never met before.
His dad is hilarious. We found these REALLY messed up skateboard things in the basement storage, and our birthday-friend (named Evan) was messing around with his dad, so his dad said to me: "Hey, you wanna' birthday present? You keep that skateboard thing, it's your birthday present. My ungrateful #####head son don't get to keep NONE of his stuff anymore." Then he told all of us to go upstairs and take all of Evan's presents and divide them amongst ourselves (of course we didn't really do it.) He handed one of my friends the keys to Evan's car and said "Drive off real quick, Evan's a slow sunnuvabitch, he ain't never goan' catch up." So, uh, yeah, another guy and me each actually kept one of those skateboard things. I cannot possibly describe them to you. Imagine three different-length skateboards all connected at different angles. It's bizzarre. We wanted to try them but it was both really dark out and very snowy/icy. I'll take pics tomorrow.

Thread Post by: Mikero on 22 February 2008, 00:28:58 Gruelling week of sleepless nights. And after my last class of the day-Life Drawing, doing brush pen drawings of a naked gross ginger man named Brent or some stupid thing- I am officially on reading week (spring break) now.
"Break" is the most bull##### thing they call it of course, since I literally have this much to do over it; Animation Design IV -Rough Pan + approval (this will take like three attempts at the whole A to D pan Background G, which is around 42 inches wide). -Rough Flying machine in perspective + approval (I have one of the two angles done and he basically approved it today, so I have to get the other one done). -Rough Crash site + approval. -Thumbnails of crashed flying machine + approval. -Rough Flying machine flying animation keys. -Rough Interior cockpit views. (^I might actually be forgetting something here, this is all one big assignment.) Character Animation II -2 character dialogue - Thumbnails. Rough key animation. Background design. Storyboarding II -Red Ninja part 2 - Thumbnails and rough storyboards. Computers II -Walk Cycle animation in Harmony - Whole thing due. -Run Cycle animation in Harmony - Get started, I guess. Should have the keys done by the end of the break probably. Those aren't my only classes, naturally, but those are the main stuff I've got to do for the first class of each after the break. I pretty much need to have all that done by or before Monday the 3rd of March, though. A little breakdown for my design stuff there; First you do thumbnails up the ass until you get an approval, which is a major headache. Then you take the thumb and go on to full rough version, which is essentially the exact same as the final version but all the construction lines and crap on it and it's in a billion different colours so that you don't get lost when making it. And then you go through a bunch of roughs and then when you finally get that approved you need a few days or more to make the clean version. It's rather mind numbing.

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but yes, we are good. Second place in our class for the state of Michigan last year should speak enough, but this year's show right now, with our first competition being tomorrow, is already better than our state finals show last year. The split in that video is extremely tough, and even though there are actually a couple ticks (errors) in the run-through from this particular video, that's only the one video. There are very few other bass-lines that can pull that off. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 23 February 2008, 04:45:52 Keep in mind that a large amount of us, including Sano here, are Band geeks, ASR, and thus would have experience with a drumline.
Also, Sano, that was only one section of the whole drumline. I hope you realise that. All that having been said, the bass drum is always the least attention-catching part of the drum line (in my experiences, anyway, as they're more for rhythm keeping), and keeping that in mind, the entire drumline piece must be pretty nice. Your synch is really good, too. I'd love to see a video of the whole drumline working on the piece. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I also hate to agree with you, but the bassline is unarguably the least entertaining section of the drumline... but that's why it's awesome when we have cool splits.

I love the level of communication my job has. It makes me want to kill things! :3 Likewise. I've been scheduled on certain days to work when I wasn't even in the state on those days, and I even TOLD them so. I even came in one day on a Friday and was told I was late. I was apparently scheduled from 3-10:30 PM. ... I get out of school at 2:45. It's IMPOSSIBLE for me to get ready and make it to work in 15 minutes, especially without a car. Not only is that moronic, but my schedules are usually a consistent 5-10:30 PM, so that's usually the default unless I say otherwise. So retarded. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 27 February 2008, 21:04:49 My workplace is pretty good for me with hours. I always know when I need to work and I always work from 4:00PM - 11:00PM. Schedule only gets messed up when someone gets fired or quits (Which has happened twice... I miss working only once a week).
I shouldn't complain about my job in the slightest, though. It may be boring at times but I'm allowed to read a book (or play DS/PSP if I'm working with two our of four certain coworkers) and it's a very simple job. I pump gas and clean a little bit. That's it. I get payed about $200 biweekly, which is good for me since I barely do anything I rarely spend money in the first place. I only work on three more days before Brawl. After that, I asked for all of March Break off... and I still don't have to work extra days to make up for the days I didn't work. :D Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 February 2008, 21:12:29 I have an old MSN friend who says he works as a telemarketer. He makes $12 an hour.
And I used to play my DS/PSP but that's because I was a minor and was supposed to get a 30 minute break every four hours whether I wanted it or not. I like my job because I don't need to use gas to get there, so I save gas money. It's just a 2-mile bike ride. The minute I get a car, I'll try going job hunting for something that pays better though. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

You'd think people would think "Man, my handwriting is TERRIBLE! I should print this so I can make it CLEAR." Also, handwriting it was a mistake, since Sano can go and be an asshole, give it to a faculty member, and have the police involved. Which, I think, would be hilarious. Squeeze out a few tears, and act like you're on the verge of a nervoud breakdown, so you can ##### with these kids, since writing a hate letter is really really gay.

I have two projects that are due pretty soon. Also overjoyed about that. The day got better by the time I made it to my Speech class though. I had to do an impromptu speech (we do one every week, and I hate it). You write down a topic and a question, put it into a hat, and you're picked out in a random order to select a topic in the hat. You pick the question or the topic and make a 1-2 minute speech about it while keeping the speech rolling, without blanking out, and avoiding "uh"s, "um"s, "like"s, etc. I pulled out "Fishing" and "What do you think about people making out in the hallway?". I picked the latter. Thank God I made them laugh. Without ice breakers, I'm stiff as a board. Plus the laughing kills the time because while they're laughing, not only does it relax but you're also thinking about what to say next easily without "umming". Seriously, why people just do that sort of thing of all places is just stupid. Alright. We get it. You like him. EXCUSEMEKTHXBAI.

Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 March 2008, 05:26:18 Welcome to hell. Population = Me.
I went to school, finished up certain things. I couldn't turn in my works cited for my project because I lost the cards apparently. Now I have to relook them up. Should be easy, but now I've got a late grade. I've got two big projects due this upcoming week, and not to mention a bunch of other homework. My computer doesn't have Power Point, and I need it for BOTH projects, so I need to figure out how I'm gonna play this out. Went to work, and my God today just had to be the day to piss me off. It's Bike Week, so we're extremely busy. Meanwhile, I'm doing my best helping out and this girl is the worst. She's got horrible attitude, spreads rumors about co-workers, sticks her nose in everyone's business, bossy, and overall a snotty brat. No matter how nice you are, she's a bitch. She continuously complains about EVERYTHING I do no matter how small and reports it to the manager, who right now is a wreck. Before closing, we get a bus-load of people. I'm hurrying to get these people's orders done so I can clean the dining room and leave, and she decides to go off during this rush. Out of all the things, I especially picked out her calling me lazy. I swear. This rush saved her #####ing life. I want to rip her head off. I could've given her an earful; how I'm the one always working when we're slow, how I'm trying to be the one that helps out in need, and how I continue to do my job... while I've seen her slouch and do nothing. I kept my mouth shut, but the manager never helped. He's a slouch for a manager who now threatened my raise. I called home, told them I'd be working late, and volunteered to clean the whole dining room. 11:40 PM. Twenty minutes before the store closes. I've vacuumed and scrubbed the tiles. The same girl volunteered to wipe the tables, condiment stand, and "everything else", so I took her word. I clock out and I've examined the areas behind the kitchen. The floors have not been cleaned, there are fries crumbled on the floor, dishes piled up, a complete and utter mess. That's just about half of it. The nerve and attitudes of these people I work with sicken me to the extreme. I'm going to set up a meeting with the general manager. I'm not going to work with this ##### everyday I work. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 1 March 2008, 05:48:18 I my Wendy's experience, a manager is never going to help. Even if their standing there and see that kind of ##### happen. Also, girls always win at Wendy's. Especially if you don't say anything. The only two firings of women I can remember in 2+ years of working there are tramps who fooled around with coworkers.
Scratch that, only one got fired because the general manager knocked her up and then she had a miscarriage on the floor at the drive-thru station and another girl had to clean it up. Or something. The other girl blew a guy in the washroom during her shift. The guy got fired but the girl was allowed to come back after a while (what the ##### is that anyway?) and even then she didn't last long. Oh, funny side story; That same girl later dated a ginger who worked in the fish department of my job after Wendy's. And during that time I also saw her picture on one of those Adult Friend Finder or whatever dating website pop-ups. Ew, right? She was a minger too. Anyway I've been to hell, it's much worse, I'm still getting the photos developed. In a while, you won't remember or care how bad this day was. I had a million closes like that at Wendy's and quite a LOT worse at the grocery store. You'll come out better for it in the end. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 1 March 2008, 05:58:36 Oh wow. I'm lucky. At the gas station I work with, there's usually two people working: Cashier and Gas Jockey. I'm the Gas Jockey and I usually help the Cashier with stuff. I'm on friendly terms with ALL of Cashiers (including the second cashier that helps on weekends). In fact, we have lots of fun together when theres no work to do; giggles, jokes, etc.

let me reveal to you why: ___[SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2008] I start my computer and attempt to map a network drive. In the middle of this process, my computer freezes. No big deal. I restart my computer. My computer does not boot into BIOS, and instead hangs before booting with an orange power light. I discover that, according to the manual, this is because a component hooked up to the motherboard has failed. ___[SUNDAY] Attempted to remove and reinstall cards and memory. Did this again. And again. Computer did not work still. ___[MONDAY, TUESDAY] Played Pokemans and went to class. ___[WEDNESDAY] Attempted to try more solutions, including removing drives entirely, re-connecting cables, securing power cables, etc. Attempts fail miserably. Jigglypuff reaches level 16. ___[THURSDAY] Am reminded that this sounds a lot like an overheating problem. Attempted to re-seat the processor. Successfully reseated processor. Successfully forgot that I needed to apply new heat sink paste. Failed to correct problem. ___[FRIDAY] Went to parents' for the weekend, complained, had chili. ___[SATURDAY] Played Dragon Quest VIII. Fiddled with Blu-Ray player. ___[SUNDAY] Installed Ubuntu on father's old PC. Collected old PC. ___[TODAY] Came back to apartment, hooked up old PC. Set up old PC as a temporary solution. Going to call Dell about newer PC and get some service??? Discovered that Pokemon Blue's save file went corrupt. Jigglypuff now level 4. On the bright side I found a Winamp skin with River City Ransom graphics. I am unfortunately using the one of Katt for some reason, and I think I'm not going to like why.

So, I wake up and drive to school. Somebody reminds me that I have to perform a speech today on any chosen subject. I panic. I'm trying to think of ideas, and then I look at my shirt. I'm wearing my only MegaMan shirt, the one with an 8-bit MegaMan in the center of 8 smaller Robot Masters from MegaMan 2 surrounding him in a circle. Suddenly, a friend comes up to me and hands me two toys from CVS they bought as an early birthday present for me. My birthday isn't until April 12th, but apparently they couldn't resist since they owed me $20 anyway... they bought me that other MegaMan action figure (the Elec-Man one that I chose NOT to buy when I bought my GutsMan one) and a MegaMan X one in his Command Mission costume. They just knew I loved MegaMan and we had talked about it before, so on a whim they "decided to get my present out of the way." The clockwork in my brain started ticking. See, we needed a visual aid for the speech. I was thinking "#####, I need a poster and all that crap, what am I gonna' do?" Well, it's all about performing a speech, we didn't actually have to write anything down. Bingo. I'll do a MegaMan speech, and use my shirt plus the action figures as my unconventional visual aids. I literally walked up to the front of the class and spoke for 6 minutes and 30 seconds about MegaMan on the spot. I explained everything from the gameplay mechanics to the downfall of the series as of late and the specifics of every sub-series and... ...and... ...it was beautiful. I got 92% on it. And 2 action figures from an overly wealthy friend with enough money to spend on worthless "oh hey that's cool" stuff for his buddies. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

It's funny because it's a wealthy Jewish neighborhood and we're probably the first people who ever actual walked into any areas of it that aren't nicely paved and prettily landscaped.
The snow was like 3 inches thick but it was really fun. We found an open sewer pipe and climbed through it, directly under the road above. Then we found a REALLY steep hill. It was really slippery so, naturally, we climbed up it, using trees and branches as footholds and grabholds or whatever. Our obese friend had a lot of trouble making it up, but he finally did!

You need to understand that in Michigan, 3 inches is like... a rarity. I'm used to snow up to my knees, anywhere from 7-10 inches. I still needed to point out that there was snow, though. Actually, in Michigan, there could be 3 inches one day, 10 inches the next, and then absolutely no snow the day after that, and then 2 feet the next day right after. Posted on: 12 March 2008, 23:16:17 Oh, and the past weekend, a bunch of us randomly decided to go the movies, but nobody checked the times or anything so the only things playing were "Definitely, Maybe" and "The Bank Job." We saw "The Bank Job", it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The reason I'm talking about movies is because someone JUST brought to my attention a new Simon Pegg movie coming out later this month. "Run Fat Boy Run," it's called. Nobody tells me ANYTHING, I have no clue how I never heard about this. From what I've seen, though, it's not by the same "team" as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but I'm cool with that. Still looks funny. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 13 March 2008, 02:20:35 "Run Fat Boy Run" was advertised when Hot Fuzz came out in North America. The trailer was on Hot Fuzz in theaters too. I don't know how you missed that either.
I just saw "Never Back Down" on a free sneak preview from work. But I'll talk about that somewhere else. That's the second time you've made a post like that. I'm not about to stop. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 13 March 2008, 02:34:10 "Run Fat Boy Run" was not advertized in the trailers before Hot Fuzz nor did the trailer make any appearances on the DVD.
I went to see Hot Fuzz in theaters April 12th last year, on my birthday. I believe it came out April 10th. I would remember if there was a trailer for another Simon Pegg movie. How would you know about North American advertisements anyway? Either way, I don't care, I'm just psyched. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 13 March 2008, 02:36:17 It was advertised in trailers when it came out here.

There is the very light poofy snow that blows around a lot, then there is the real heavy wet snow that, when it accumulates, is extremely dense and difficult to shovel. I like the light snow, it sucks for sledding, but clearing it out of the way is a piece of lie. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 13 March 2008, 19:44:28 Kill me.

Thread Post by: Mikero on 13 March 2008, 22:28:45 That snow looks light and easy to shovel. No, it wasn't light at all. Only 51cm (around two feet) of that snow was anything close to fresh, since it fell in like a night. But that was the morning and night after it fell, I didn't shovel anything until a few days later and that wasn't light in the first place. Had it not been the day Brawl came out I'd have been outside shovelling and scraping for hours with all the neighbours. Run Fat Boy Run is not particularly good. Didn't think so. Different team in charge, no? I'll still probably check it out. Kill me. Kill me quickly....? Thought so but didn't want to assume. That looks awesome, how about we swap snow for sand for one day? The last time I played in real snow was when I was 5 or 6 in Turkey. (I played in some artificial snow parks in Malaysia and Dubai, though)Kill me. Kill me quickly. If you shovel and scrape it and junk, sure. Though, I can't imagine how annoying sand can get when it's not confined. Like people that live during the dust bowl and out in the American southwest. I have enough of it when I hit the beach. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 13 March 2008, 23:02:44 Yeah, Run Fat Boy Run is just a movie starring Simon Pegg, not a Simon Pegg movie as I'd call the others. Not stopping me from going to see it, as I already said.
Today I went and visited the Western Michigan University campus. Looks like I'll be going there. I'm pretty excited, too, because I liked a lot of what I saw. The food is supposedly really great there, and the dorm I'm picking is built into the side of the best cafeteria, so good news there. It's really cozy.

Yesterday I woke up with a lot of pain in my left ear. In fact, it was the reason I woke up, at 6:30 AM too. The pain eventually went away, after four hours I assume. After those four hours my ear felt like there was something blocking it, and a there was a constant LOUD ringing noise in it too. As I'm typing this it still feels that way. Today I woke up coughing like mad. I mean, I coughed a bit for the entire week but today I was dying. I couldn't stop coughing and I woke up my dad a few times as I slept last night. I also developed a fever and felt like throwing up. Thank God for inventing Asprin. After the stuff took the pain away, I went to go see 10,000 BC. The movie was supposed to start at 7:05 but I was waiting for a long time in the theater before the movie started. I saw Jim Carrey's name pop up and I said to myself, "WTF?" I ended up going into the wrong theater and I missed the beginning of my movie. A little pissed off but the movie delievered, and I intend to watch it again so I can see the beginning. Right now I'm about to go lay down and play Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles for the DS. I just bought it ten minutes ago. Heard good things about it, hope it's worth the purchase. I still won't be home until tomorrow night but I really want to play Brawl again. XD Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

We chilled at the high school hosting the competition for the whole day and explored the town. We drove over to a ski mountain. It was open and a few people were skiing. We parked at the McDonalds at the other side of the place, and we set off to climb it. It was like 10:00PM and really dark, but they had those super-bright stadium-type lights on illuminating the other side of the mountain. Now, there's really no snow out, so the whole mountain is like fake snow, but the side we were climbing was completely devoid of snow. It was around a 75 degree angle we were climbing, we made it to the top after 40 minutes and almost scared the ##### out of some guys near the top of the chairlift. It was a magnificent sight, standing at the top of the mountain, on level with a water tower not too far away, late night with those bright stadium-lights behind us. Beautiful.

Thread Post by: ASR on 17 March 2008, 23:33:37 I can normally see why people wouldn't like something, but Scrubs just seems like the sort of thing everybody should love... thus, I'm always baffled.

Anyway... I went to Gamestop today. They have a used DVD sale going: buy 2 get 4 free. I made the mistake of telling my friends about it, so after drumline practice we all made a mad dash, each in our own cars, driving to the Gamestop down the road.

Today my grandma is having an Easter dinner. The entire family is coming (and we have a huuuge family). I was excited, happy, couldn't wait. Got dressed, started to play some EarthBound to pass the time... then at 4:10 I got a call. From a co-worker. He asked me why wasn't I at work yet. I told him I wasn't working today. He said yes I was. So I decided to go there and check it out. It turns out I was working; that I mischecked the schedule and thought I was working on Monday, not Sunday. My plans, my excitement, all died instantly. I started to cry a little. It wasn't the first time I got screwed over on working on a holiday. I missed the family reunion dinner at both the night before Christmas and on New Years. But at least I knew I worked on those days, and I wouldn't have mind so much if I knew if I was working today. However, I didn't, and I was pissed off at myself from reading the schedule wrong. I was going to miss my family members AGAIN AND I wasn't going to have supper with them. My boss could tell that I was depressed. She called other people for me to see if they could work for me. None of them did, and I knew they were going to refuse. Nobody has ever worked for me; I work for them all the time but they never work for me. Work wasn't really affected from my depression, but my co-worker (who's working at the cashier) couldn't stand me being depressed. Another co-worker of mine (who also works the cashiers) walked in and started talking to the co-worker who was working. Then, out of no where, she asked if she (the one who wasn't working) wanted to work for me. I was surprised, I'm a gas jockey, she works the cashier. She couldn't do my job. I told her that I shouldn't get special treatment. She told me she could work for me. After a bit of thinking, I asked if I could hug her. We hugged, and I cried. I was so grateful, I didn't know what to say. She told me she could do everything except for the dip charts, and I told her I could do it right now for her. I did it, she took my jacket and smiled. I said "Thank you" to her a couple times and she said "Don't mention it." So I got to my grandma's house just in time. We had dinner, and I talked to some cousins for a while... I had fun time. And all I could think about it how to make up for it to my co-worker. If she hadn't walked in at that time and started talking to my other co-worker... well, I wouldn't have had a fun time. I'm very grateful to her right now. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 24 March 2008, 00:48:07 Don't ask if you can hug, just embrace.
Also, glad to hear you had a swell day. For Easter dinner, we went over to my mom's best friend's house, and I basically hung around with said mother's best friend's daughter (17). We had a swell time, and she watched me play X1, and then we played some other games, and I made that SNES games video which you should all check out. Decent day. Not to mention that she's hot.

Also, I'm looking for new work. I work in food, right, and I called off on a day that I had severe stomach cramps, and she made me come in anyway because "everyone" had them, and I was "the only" person she had to work those hours. I really despise being so low on the ladder. I get more hours when no-one wants to work, but I'm almost always the one cut when it's slow. I guess it balances out, but it would be nice if they actually told me the day before when they want me to work at 9:30 on a day I'm scheduled for twelve (especially considering that I'd seen the schedule the week before and it had said that I was off that day).

I got her to come around and give him a chance, he didn't expect me to do so because he was an ass to her before, and he should have expected me to win the deal, especially since everyone calls me TheJesus since I preform various miracles, and other things based on extremely dumb luck.

So yeah, today it rained all day, until around four in the afternoon. So a tad bit after four I started walking home. Yeah, so it was muddy and hot, needless to say I was pretty uncomfortable wearing my blue hoodie. So as I was walking home, it was taking me a tad bit longer than usual, I had to step around damp, muddy spots and such. So yeah, the whole time I was looking at the ground I started to notice something, Spring really was here already. I saw a bunch of flowers (they might have just been pretty looking weeds) that hadn't been there earlier, I know the plant life pretty well, I walk the same path 5 days a week and such. So yeah, I was looking at a bunch of average looking flowers, I just kept on walking, I'm not really interested in flowers, I still notice them though, ya know, just 'cause they're there. But suddenly I stopped, there were this three flowers completely different from all the others. They were just three large, pink flowers, and they were lined up in a row. So, I stopped and looked at them for a few seconds, then for some reason I started thinking about a girl, not a particularly important girl, just a girl who's started acting strange around me, though it's probably nothing, I like to fantasies and make up bogus conclusions and such. So yeah, anyway, I continued walking home, then nothing of importance happened until I saw my front lawn. There was a huge patch of those pink flowers I saw earlier, I have little doubt now that they are most definitely weeds. But still, they're pretty weeds and they look enough like flowers to me. Yeah, I know it's not very manly, but I actually like to look at pink flowers, I don't really know why, they just look... pretty? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I woke up around 10:00 A.M. It was my day off of work, but I didn't feel like doing much. Brawled all day. Won lots of trophies. Pissed off at the fact that I can't beat 100-Man Brawl with any one character. Played Boss Battles on Intense and can't get past 4-5 victories. Tried to find this SNES game about a yellow-bodied character with red hands and feet and no arms or legs. Still can't find it. Today sucked. Needed more sex and whiskey here and there. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 April 2008, 20:03:00 Played Boss Battles on Intense and can't get past 4-5 victories. I know the feeling. What's worse is finally reaching the last one of the group, and getting KO'd by his damn triple red-arc move, or whatever you call it. I dodged the first one, but the 2nd one sent me flying. It was a load of BS. I love fighting Meta Ridley though. On the move where he spams fireballs, just jump up and use Fox/Falco/Wolf's reflector shield. He kills himself.

I like Ness more, but Lucas is better, no arguments, really... sadly. Another winner is Game & Watch with his Oil Panic Down+B dealing some massive damage in some situations, and Charizard's Side+B Rock Smash dealing quick and excessive damage while you use the other Pokemon to evade and switch up for any other reasons.

We have a harder show than the group who won, but they played cleaner with their easier show and thus beat us out. Sucks, sucks, sucks. We're all wearing SILVER medals when they should be gold.

Very good cover. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 16 April 2008, 00:42:27 I started a fad at my school where everyone has brung those Razor scooters of their past childhood fads to the school and proceeds to ride them around during after-school hours and activities. I simply brought one in one day early this year and people slowly started following suit.
It's been going on all year, to the point where... well... For example: today, I had a project due. I have to perform a speech where I try to sell a product to the audience. I needed a visual aid and a speech and an outline and everything, but I had completely forgotten. The scooter fad has gotten to the point where I literally went through the school and asked people to borrow their scooters until I had one of each color. I already had a blue one, but I managed to get a red, black, and green one from others, and there were still more I could've taken. I brought all four scooters as my visual aid. I quickly wrote my speech on notecards during the other presentations, and told the kid sitting behind me to do certain things during the speech. Almost 70% of the presentation is improv. I had a kid film it because I knew it would be funny. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DpBp6efYeLw As soon as it ended, the teacher basically guaranteed me a 100% but then blasted me for making gay jokes. My bad. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 16 April 2008, 01:39:59 Yeah, those gay jokes were definitely necessary.
Good job knocking a group of people who've never really done anything to hurt you down a few pegs. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 16 April 2008, 01:48:06 I'd use the "...but I have a gay friend!" card but I give him so much ##### for it that it's not even fair to say use that as an excuse.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 16 April 2008, 02:35:47 Well #####. I'm in a pickle.
I just checked my Speech class syllabus. I have to do my "Favorite ___" speech tommorow. I'm freaking out because I'm not exactly 100% prepared. I don't know if my teacher wants an outline, powerpoint, etc.. But, with the circumstances, tommorow is a modified early release day, meaning I get out of school earlier and all the classes have been shortened. Sure I can do it at school, but again, the classes are now even shorter so I may not have enough time to complete it. Although that may be a bad thing, it can also be a good one since my Speech class will also be shorter. I have two choices: 1.) Bust my butt and complete the speech as fast as I can after asking a classmate what specifically is required. 2.) Sit through Speech class with the hope of not getting called and dodge a bullet. If I only knew exactly what to do, It would've already been done. Nonetheless, if I manage to do the speech, I'm doing my speech on my favorite video game character. That's right. Like ASR, I'm going to talk about Mega Man. (If only it was an impromptu speech) Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 16 April 2008, 02:59:03 I finished scripting for a project I'm currently doing.
It was annoying. I tried doing this one thing where the options are displayed from side to side, but I couldn't figure it out. :( In the end, I went with a scroller that shows two options at once. Annoying, but eh, what can a guy do? Also, I read a poem I wrote in class outloud. Not sure if I was going insane due to the pressure (I SUCK at speaking to large groups) or it actually happened but it sounded like everyone in the class clapped loudly unlike the half-ass claps everyone else got. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 16 April 2008, 03:00:26 Yeah, Chaos, sucks that you have to write it all out as a speech beforehand. The class I did the speech for was pretty much a speech class, too, just called Forensics. Same class that scooter video was for.
For me, I just went up and started talking about MegaMan, and it just flowed perfectly. There's a handful of subjects I could've picked that I would've been fine talking about for hours... but it worked because I didn't need to hand in any typed speeches or whatnot. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 16 April 2008, 03:55:14 I got to stay home today, didn't bother going to the school retreat, not like I'm going to get marked or anything anyways. Woke up at about 11pm, got amazing sleep for the first time in a long time. From 2pm - now, it's just been whatever.. My bro also picked me up a new keyboard set that I needed, just basic wired #####.

Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 16 April 2008, 04:19:26 Today, a friend of mine left a weapon on a table and walked away... I picked it up and ran off with it. Then I went around all day carrying it around so people could see it. People would come up and ask me something like "What's that?" and then I'd say something along the lines of "Oh? You want to have a look?" then I'd stick it right in their face, and I'd laugh as I'd see their faces twist into expressions of pure agony, disgust and fear. I pretty much did that all day, it was super fun.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 16 April 2008, 22:07:15 Asked a student about the speech. Typed my outline and printed it. That was it actually.
Then someone said that I needed something creative. I thought "No sweat, I'll just pull out my Star Force and ZXA games and use that as a visual", because I was going to end with Star Force and ZX. I looked in my backpack and I realized that I stopped carrying all my DS games at school when I cleaned it out months ago. Before I went into the class, I saw a kid who I remember just happened to play ZXA before. I asked him if he had it, and to borrow it for 4th block. He lent it to me, and I was ready for my speech. I talked about his beginning, how he affected my childhood, and his future. I'm sure I bored some people about my speech, but I didn't care, I just wanted to get it over with. I went home. Took a nap. I'm online Brawl rite nao. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 17 April 2008, 01:47:22 Tomorrow I'm heading out for Florida 'till Tuesday.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 22 April 2008, 04:24:00 'Kay, today I woke up and went to school.
I spent most of my morning holding onto a certain someone's thigh. Then I went through a perfectly normal school day, but I felt sad for some reason. After awhile I realized it wasn't that I was sad, I was just bored, I've gotten tired of the same old thing everday. So yeah, boring day at school. I went home and played MGS. I played for about 6 hours. As I played I began to think about how awesome Project S is going to be, I mean, seriously, I now see how awesome Hideo Kojima is. I mean Project S is a collaboration between Kojima and Suda51. I mean that's bound to be awesome. So yeah, I fought Psycho Mantis. Man, it was everything I heard it was, Mantis is a fun character and a wonderful 4th wall breaker. While he was talking he said something that made me sad, he said he was going to read my mind, which I'm pretty sure is the part where he reads the memory card for other games made by Konami (or Nintendo if you're playing the GC version) and he said he saw nothing. Then I got to thinking about how much I hadn't gotten out of the PS2. I never had a PS so I never got to play any of the gems that were on it and I barely own any good games for the PS2. You can't blame me though, I mean, my brother bought it and all he did with it was buy stupid Final Fantasy games and a bunch of stupid anime related games. I mean and then I even bought him FF12, but nooo all he cares about is FF7! I mean jeeze, if we're going to have a PS2 around let's go buy some good games. I should've started buying games for the PS2 on my own awhile ago. So I guess buying MGSEC was a step in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, I still hate Sony, it's just there's a bunch of good exclusive titles on the PS2. Did I mention a few weeks ago how I accidentally broke a PSP and how I have to now pay for it? Those greedy bastards at Sony can't even make a durable handheld... ...Then my brother bought a PSP just to play FF7CC. Which he hasn't even touched ever since he bought it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 22 April 2008, 04:40:27 Phycho Mantis will mention any Konami game saves you have on your memory card.
Also, Project S will be about Snatcher, another Hideo Kojima game that only ever got released on the Sega CD for Americans. It's an excellent game, and I consider it one of my favourite games ever. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 22 April 2008, 04:54:39 Yeah, but Suda51 is helpin' him out with this one, so it'll be even more awesome.
Oh dude, you know what made me sad, Colonel told me to get Meryl's number off the back of the CD case, and it isn't on the back of the MGSEC version of the MGS box. I had to check out the enclosed instruction book. Phycho Mantis will mention any Konami game saves you have on your memory card. I know that, and I mentioned it. Though I'm pretty sure I've heard him say the names of Nintendo games in the GC version. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Afterwords I felt terrible, I never meant to choke her, I swear. I went in just a tad too high and ended up wrapping around her neck, it took me a few seconds to notice she couldn't breath. Then she wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the day, but it was because of some stupid, pointless gay awareness thing that people were doing today. Yeah, it was something about not talking so people would be aware of the gay people or something, yeah, the logic behind that seemed a tad bit backwards. The really sad thing is all it seemed to do was make people a little less tolerant of homosexuality, I think it's because the only people participating in it were ugly, degenerate bitches that piss the ##### out of most people, it didn't help that they all looked #####ing retarded with duck tape over their mouthes. The funny thing about the whole thing was most of the actual gay people were talking like they normally do, they didn't seem to care about the whole stupid "Day of Silence" thing. That made me wonder, "who set up this whole retarded thing?"

I'm picking a few of my favorite scenes to add up to 4-7 minutes of spectacular monologuing goodness.
Here's what I'm doing so far: "It's four in the funking morning!" [Shaun of the Dead] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=rSdnXuNuxGQ&feature=related) I have to replace every instance of the F-word with "funk," just like they did in the DVD extra, but I'm fine with that. This is an edgy scene. Uncle Andy teaches Shane about masturbation [Weeds] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FWzOQTFwRBE) Hilarious scene that literally is what got me to want to watch the show. This is another edgy one, but it's OK'd by the teacher as well. I'm excited. The Swan Scene [Hot Fuzz] I want to do this scene, or possibly something else from Hot Fuzz. There's quite a bit to choose from. Ari Gold Therapist Scene 1 [Entourage] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uyXeClFPNfA&feature=related) Ari Gold Therapist Scene 2 [Entourage] (http://youtube.com/watch?v=jiv4pNwK5SI) These are two seperate therapist scenes with Ari and his wife from Entourage.

There's so much that happened last Friday. This is going to be pretty lengthy, so feel free to skip if you don't have the time to read. It was a pretty entertaining day, though.
Alright. Of course, I woke up and went to school, but in the middle of my first period, all Seniors were sent to the Gymnasium to pick up our cap & gown, pick-up our yearbooks, vote for school president, watch some videos, and have our egos stroked for about three hours. After the whole thing, we were dismissed early for lunch and they announced three times, there were free 6-inch sub sandwiches for everyone. As I went to pick mine up, some retard had no idea what was going on, like he missed the whole announcement. Went to the rest of my classes and rode the bus home. School was done, but not the night. Has anyone heard of Grad Bash at Universal Studios? Right, I registered for it a few months ago. I was told to arrive at the school at 4:30 PM (the latest, 5:00 PM). I did. They checked under my clothes, pockets, wallet, etc.. I was good to go, and I waited with other seniors. Waiting. ... for nearly and hour and a half. The buses arrived at the school at 6 PM. One of the kids made a huge deal about riding one of the buses since it was bus #69. Took an hour ride. Played Yu-Gi-Oh! 2008 on my DS. DS light turned red, so I switched over to my PSP for Mega Man Powered Up goodness. I'm known for comically being obnoxious so when someone asked me why I brought game systems I exclaimed, "WHY NOT!?!?". He backed away, gave me a look. I gave it back, and then we busted out in laughter. We made it to Universal, and it took us ANOTHER HOUR to get in the park. Security checked us all again and everyone is jumping up and down looking to see if the line is moving. We made it in at 8:00, and I grouped together with three girls I know. One was the president of the Business Professionals club, another a girlfriend of my friend, and the other... a light-headed classmate. We ditched her later because we didn't want to ride Jaws and she did, so we all said "kthxbai". We rode Men In Black and Twister. We would've ridden other rides, but the lines were depressingly long, so we headed to Islands of Adventure. Laughter, dancing, and many jokes insued. Being at a theme-park with just you and your friends (at night) is just beyond awesome. I was persuaded to ride that dumb trolley ride in Dr. Seuss land, but we made the best of it. As we headed over to the Lost Continent, Dueling Dragons was the only thing on our minds (Hulk would be way too long of a wait, since the Mummy was also booked). Some guy dressed as an evil warlock roamed the streets, laughing like a maniac giving everyone the eye. I went up straight to his face and gave it back. It caught him so off-guard, I wish I caught it on tape. The wait for Dueling Dragons was "60 minutes", but we shrugged and thought it'd be worth it. We made it in line and I pulled out my PSP while talking to my friends. Suddenly, the biggest video game nerd you could possibly imagine walks up to us and starts asking us questions with large volume. I swear, all this kid needed was a pony tail, and I would've just assummed he was a D&D/WoW fag. He asked us what games we played, and we all started to speaking about genres we enjoyed. I showed off my PSP saying I liked Mega Man. He laughed and said we were "an embarassment to gamers everywhere". ... Huh. Well, that ticked the girls off. They both said they weren't gamers, and that they just liked playing games regularly. I said the same, and this guy wouldn't believe us. He stared right up in one of the girl's faces, asking weird questions (I guess Final Fantasy related, MMORPG, whatever I didn't give a #####). She answered, and he responded, "Right. Liars. You're all gamers." I rolled my eyes. He said so many corny jokes that, I too, would've pulled out my eye sockets like Mikero's avatar. THEN, he had THE NERVE to hit on my other friend, asking what she liked to do. I stayed out of the conversation until I heard him say "Wow. You like games, Harry Potter, and origami! If you were a guy, you'd be me!". I gagged. The fork between which dragon came up. He chose fire, so we chose ice. The girl that was being hit on looked at me and said, "I'm officially a lesbian". We talked about him, and they never told him off because they don't like to act like that in public. After getting much of that topic off our chest, we got on the coaster. My god, riding Dueling Dragons at NIGHT is the #####. Next, we moved through Jurrasic Park, Toon Lagoon, and Marvel. The girls played DDR, and I just watched. One of them tried playing a game which involved grabbing the key which unlocked a clear box with a Nintendo Wii in it. Unfortunately, she failed. We went back to Dr. Seuss land and rode Cat & the Hat twice since there was no line. We went... er... THEY went shopping (I was the shopping cart). 2:00 AM. We began to leave the park and get on the bus. We were told that our bus wasn't there yet and we'd have to wait. Well, about an hour later, one of the school counselors talked to us. 80% of all the students were already on the bus. We shortly got on the bus and then some juicy information started to roll around that I'm dissappointed I didn't see first hand. The bus wasn't late, it was on-time. However, while everyone was boarding the bus, one of the security guards told everyone to get off in a rude manner. The coaches and counselors got pissed saying "Don't yell at our kids like that", and what not. A cop walks up from behind and tells the guard to let them on the bus. They argue, and the cop wins. They all got back on the bus. Two minutes later after the cop leaves, the guard kicks them all off the bus AGAIN. This time, the cop comes back and their anger was just let loose. They argued for a bit until the guard made a deragatory comment and runs off. The cop chases after him until the "manager" stops them both and starts to argue as well. Well, I got on the bus around 3:00 AM. I slept (or at least attempted to) until we arrived at the school. I drove all the way home on empty roads. I went to bed 4:40 in the morning.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Rama Olendris on 28 April 2008, 22:18:44 Ugh. The Day of Silence is supposed to represent how many homosexuals have to keep their lips shut about things they might want to say without getting hurt for it, it was created after the one gay boy was tortured then murdered and left draped over a picket fence just because some straight white boys thought it was wrong to kiss other men. It was also intended at first for all sorts of people to attend and not just gay supporters- to show how some people have to live constantly worrying about what to say.
I personally didn't understand it, but I did respect the meaning; the Day of Silence just adds more attention to a potential target (because people are mean little #####s). I participated once in high school, only once. I suppose it's a little like praying- feeling like you're doing something while doing nothing at all. However it was strange during my high school when the Day of Silence came up, one dude asked me horrified "There are gay people in Rogers?! #####! I better stop saying ##### or I'm gunna get beat up!" In any event. Do you guys know what it is like having an airbag go off?

That is the most sad news I've heard all day... Today I was forced to agree to take my girls to Laser Quest (awesome 'theme park' in where you shoot at each other in an obstacle course with laser guns) here in Spokane, I would have been happier about it other than the fact that I feel really sick. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 3 May 2008, 05:27:51 Laser Quest S U C K S.
The main ways Laser Quest sucks; 1) No running allowed. 2) No crouching. 3) No jumping. 4) It's infested with children who are likely infested with colds and pink eyes and influenzas and lices and bakugans and have sticky hands at ALL times for no good reason. 5) These so called "lasers" are extraodinarily gay and you look like a douche wearing all that "fun" jargon. 6) Children. 7) Not only is it filled to the brim with kids, but it's made FOR kids. 8) Filled to the brim with kids. 9) Codenames. CODENAMES? Really? Yeesh. 10) Scores your shots instead having actual kills/frags/whatever where you get shot ONLY ONCE and are out. 11) TOO EASY. Absolutely no strategy needed, you can literally walk around slowly picking people off and top the leaderboard. 12) Crappily designed mazes; There always at least one spot PER LEVEL where you can completely cheap everyone else out without any semblance of anything being close to fair. 13) No pain. No gain.; Lasers don't hurt, even in the eyes. You don't get any physical exercise worth mentioning. 14) I mentioned the tots, yeah? 15) You have to wait like a half hour or more between every full game you play AND have to go through the rules and repeat them again and again like some full grown human parrot ass-clown so it takes forever for like 10 minutes of noooot-that-much-fun. And I'm sure I can think of at least another 15 but I'll stop there. And clearly I understand the appeal, as I've obviously been many times. Anyway here's what we (my friends and I, that is) do in my city instead; This place used to be called Delerium but it switched owners and changed to the gayest name ever of "TagZone" which I refuse to call it. So at DELERIUM you get 3 hours for like 30 bucks but it's not like you have to wait a half hour between games and crap. You have a dark "maze" (I guess "maze") similar to the ones in Laser Quest except that it's one floor and there's always a region (as they change the maze a bit at least once a year) called the Graveyard (ooooh) which is basically just another section of the maze but there's a low wall dividing it from the rest so it becomes a good area for your team to hold if tactics call for it. So anyway it's pretty much the same kind of environment only darker and-in some games-smokier, and smaller. You don't shoot lasers or any stupid thing. You have modified paintball guns that shoot rubber balls that are the same size as paintballs but at any time DURING A GAME you can pick them up off the ground and load them into your gun for more ammo; Unless you're dead, in which case you have to leave the maze and wait out the game. Each game is only about the length of a song, so basically two minutes, but you get 3 hours worth and every game you A) have a great time in and B) get a work out because--get this--you -Elimination (straight up Red vs. Yellow elimination, red is usually in the back bunker for the first game and then they switch for the second) -Doom (where the team that starts in the back bunker has a "doom key", a fiberglass rod, that they have to get to the front bunker, the other team can't ever touch the doom key or that person dies but clearly you can't hit anyone with it and stuff) -Mission Impossible (one team occupies the graveyard and ONLY the graveyard while the other team has to get a bag that's hanging just outside it, and then get it to the front bunker) And a host of others. It's a lot of fun. Basically it's paintball in the dark but without the paint. It's about, oh, 700 times more fun than Laser Quest and you leave with huge welts that last for a long time (which sounds bad I guess but I think it's the tops). Oh my word, I could go on even longer. I'm now SO amped for my friend Dico's birthday when we go. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 3 May 2008, 15:02:56 Sounds very fun.

I was in for the first two games, and never got hit while wearing three shirts. I was sweating like a pig, and I couldn't move around all that much. I said "##### this", and removed two of the shirts.

Verbally beat down some degenerate bitches. Went home and yelled ##### for a few minutes because the memory card on the stupid PS2 said my MGS3 save data was damaged for no apparent reason.

A revelation occurred in which I realized I have a thing for short, asian girls who wear frilly clothing. Verbally maimed some degenerate bitches. I took the Social Studies TAKS followed by another nap. Went home and played MGS3. Saturday (Today) Different School, same old boring. I took the SAT. I went home and ate lunch.

BLAAAAARG. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 10 May 2008, 01:55:08 Today... I walked a lot.
I walked home. When I got home I remembered Irradiated had planned for me and him to go see a movie. So I called his cell, it was turned off, he often forgets to turn it back on, which often cripples our weekend plans. So I decided this time I wouldn't let that ruin our weekend plans. I walked all the way to Irradiated's house. On the way he called me, but my phone was on vibrate and I was walking so I kind of didn't notice. Anyway, I got to his house and checked my phone to see what time it was, that was when I noticed he had called me. So instead of doing the normal thing I called his cell, he informed me he'd like to go see a movie on Saturday instead. Yeah, I was a tad bit bummed, so I told him to look outside his front window, and he asked me why. Before I could answer his sister randomly ran out the front door and threw some shoes at me and called me a creepy stalker. Irradiated laughed about it, but he had to agree it was stalkerish to call someone from across the street. So, we made plans to go to a movie tomorrow. I began walking back towards home, but I decided to take a detour and see what another friend of mine was up to. (I'll just refer to him as Cabby.) Yeah so, I went to Cabby's house, and instead of just ringing the door bell I called Cabby's cell. I asked him if he wanted to hang out or something, he told me he'd like to but he and his mom were about to go to some fancy lobster place. So, I told him to come outside, and he asked why and said it was a pretty stalkerish thing to say, he came out and we talked for a bit but then I decided to just let 'em go so he could spend some time with his mom. I then began walking the opposite direction of my house, I wanted to get something to drink. As I walked toward an area of fast food joints and other assorted buildings I started thinking about where I was in my life. Just earlier that day I had officially become a student at a community college. Once again at 17 I felt old, I started thinking about how I've pretty much wasted most of my teenage years, then I came back to the realization that I really only have two really good friends, and both of them aren't really all that dependable a lot of the time, I mean, they've really come through for me on things sometimes, like just yesterday Irradiated was helping me with my film project when he isn't even in the class, I mean that's cool, but sometimes it just feels like he really doesn't want to hang out with me. I mean this isn't the first time he's canceled plans with me and stuff. Anyway, I was just walking along and stuff, I cheered up a bit thinking about how friends are more about quality and not quantity. I mean I see people with 'friends' who treat them like #####, so I guess I'm pretty good as far as real friends are concerned. I mean and it's not like I just have 2 friends, just 2 people I consider really good friends. I mean I have pleasurable conversation with plenty of different people daily, but I don't really consider them more than High School chums and such. Eventually I arrived at a KFC and just got a large drink, I sat down and sipped on it for awhile thinking about stuff, I finished it, I got a refill, then I left. So, I finally actually started walking home. I thought hard about why I felt like I'd wasted my teenage years. I ruled out social events and stuff like that until I finally came to the conclusion that what I really wanted was a little bit of a female companionship. I've never really had an actual girlfriend. I started thinking about how hard it is to actually interact with girls and stuff, so I got a tad bit miffed about the whole thing. I kind of stopped thinking about it because I kept comming to the sad conclusion that women just aren't interested in a dumb, ugly, fat boy with a terrible personality. So yeah, trying not to think about it I noticed something I had noticed many times before, nobody ever walks in this town. I suddenly felt alienated from the rest of those around me. Standing by the busiest road in the county I felt kind of like I was isolated from everyone else going somewhere. I kept walking and I watched all the cars go by, I just felt kind of different. These days nobody walks, except for me. Yeah, so I'm kind of down about how my day went, I'm not going back to being old, depressed Sano from 2 years ago, I'm just a tad bit on the rainy day side. I'll probably feel better after some sleep or something. Anyway for those who skipped all this crap, just know that I walked for roughly 4 hours. Walking home everyday really has built up my endurance. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Xzeemo on 10 May 2008, 02:00:27 China called, they want their wall back. </oldjoke>

Huh. Cheer up, man. I've learned that the best thing in life is to find some people who really do care about you and that you know, without doubt, are your friends. I know that's not easy, but once it happens you'll know. People skills are hard to shape up if you aren't a people person. My life has been very crazy, but all of a sudden I'm one of the happiest, craziest, and (ego aside) funniest guys around. I'm a character, that's one way to put it. Up until late Sophomore year, I was extremely shy and quiet. I had switched schools a lot, lost an entire set of friends, been to two military schools and never made any real friends at either... I don't want to go into my personal life because I have tons of secrets I even keep from my best friends, but you could fill in the blanks and sort of figure out what kind of kid I was. ...but all of a sudden, everything changed. It clicked. I decided who I wanted to be, but I never truly defined it to myself. I just knew. I didn't have to be specific. I believe anyone can change who they are, nobody is set in stone, and everyone should be given every chance they get... because my life is a living story of that. Three years ago I would never talk to a girl without feeling extremely nervous. Now, 3 of my closest friends are girls and it's not even a big deal to me. It takes a while to realize that it's not anything special to be friends with a girl, or at least it did in my rare case. I know that sounds cheesy and lame, but some of you will know what I mean. There's that pathetic awkward stage where girls are like "WHOAH" and it takes some guys longer than others to get past that. On the male side of things, I've got a group of guys I do everything with now. The goofy stuff we do is goofy stuff I could never live without. What I'm saying is, never get too down on yourself because you literally never know what's right around the corner. Your life will change for the better as soon as everything clicks and you become okay with who you are. Everyone cares at least a little bit what other people think about them, but once you figure out who matters and which people you should worry about in particular (the ones closest to you)... you realize that it's okay to care what others think as long as you don't let it BOTHER you. It's only human to want everyone to like you, but you need to remember that you can't please everyone. Find yourself, be yourself, be okay with the self you found. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 May 2008, 05:41:14 I just skimmed, but I'll read the posts before me later.
My day in short: Everyone I seemed to run into doesn't know how to smile. For example... I accidentally elbowed a kid on the bus, and he turns around and elbows me in the face. I stare at him, and then I raise my hands. He got all defensive until he realized I was just making a gesture and saying "Butterflies! Rainbows! DON'T WORRY! BE HAPPY!". He called me gay, and I rolled my eyes. I've practically been in a good mood all day. Probably because I only have ONE MORE WEEK OF HIGH SCHOOL AND I'M DONE SON! GRADUATION TIME!

Thread Post by: ASR on 11 May 2008, 16:32:45 So, yesterday I went to a local Battle of the Bands at a local park. I'm friends with people across three of the competing bands, so I was partially obligated to stay to watch at least those three. Everyone was there, so I had tons of fun, though. I do mean literally everyone I ever feel any desire to talk to at school.
I was there helping out with the sound, because one of my good friends was the one hired to do all the electronics, so I was sort of behind the scenes some of the time, which felt cool. One band got disqualified for singing a song about beer. These two ladies hosting the event freaked out and told my friend to cut of all their sound and they flipped out and pulled them off the stage. It sucked, because they were one of the better bands, it was the LAST song in their set. Plus, they had already sang a song with the vocals "SUCK MY ----" and nobody had said anything... but I assume they just didn't hear that. Afterwards, some friends I met up with there and me decided to finally go see Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I thought it was pretty funny. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Very dull. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 14 May 2008, 20:28:17 At my school, everyone in a Phsyics class gets to go on a trip to Cedar Point at the end of the year. It's usually all Juniors.
Today was the day for them to go this year. They left before school started and were due back around 6. However, half-way through the school day, a rumor started circulating in the school about how somebody brought hash-brownies on the trip and were caught with them. I heard about it again later and was told that they were heading back early, which really sucks because I went on the trip last year, and I remember not getting to any of the good rides until after lunch. It's about 1:30 now and it's pretty much confirmed throughout the school, and this is big news on an otherwise dull day. During a free moment, I called up my friend who was on the trip and got the full story: some kid brought hash brownies, and another kid ate one and then took an Aderral and had a medical reaction which resulted in him passing out violently. During the 1:30 check-in, they informed every student that they were heading home immediately. It turns out one of the kids involved was someone I know, and he's most likely going to be expelled.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 17 May 2008, 14:44:27 Yesterday, I went to some band performance in the school auditorium called "Spectrum", $5 a ticket. They took everyone's when we went in. Lights were flashing everywhere for extra effect for the performance.
After the lights dimmed down, the actual performance began. Meanwhile, the fire alarm lights were still going off. No one did anything until someone had to get on the intercom and tell the band to stop. "Apparently, this is a real fire alarm, so we need everyone to evacuate the auditorium." I shrugged and went out to the north parking lot, and I met up with a friend, who cornered me near the bushes away from everyone. "Can you keep a secret?" "Uh. Sure. What?" He showed me a metallic long pin hidden under his sleeve. "I pulled the fire alarm!" I laughed and told him to hide the damn thing, but at the same time, I'd laugh at him if he got caught. Well, the dumbass went off to tell all his friends that he pulled it. He never got caught, but it just sounded so dumb. The fire alarm stopped. I told them that I was watching "Spectrum" while we walked back to the school. "You wanna go skip your block and watch Spectrum?" "Doesn't it cost you a ticket to get in?" "Yeah, but they took everyone's when we went in. They won't search you for a ticket now, you can just walk right in." He thought it was genius, and then started bragging to MORE of his friends that not only did he pull the fire alarm, that he was going to see the show for free. That was the peak of my day yesterday. Other things included taking care of my English Final and realizing I'm only 3 classes away from being done with High School. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 18 May 2008, 00:31:11 Just make sure to stretch before you do your work. Yeah, when I used to weight train, I went one day with my friend to the gym. He told me that I should stretch before and after lifting weights. Before that day, I used to have muscle pains the next day after lifting some weights. Ever since though, I stretch whenever I have to do ANYTHING that involves even a little muscle. I've never experienced that pain again. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I always work myself really hard and I have a high tolerance for pain so it doesn't bother me so much, but I'm obviously not stretching enough.

Where I live, it's 3.71 for a gallon or something...NO WAI. Actually our dollar went up with inflation, and gas prices didn't go down to reflect that but instead climbed at their normal rate. In a way, the price of gas isn't that much more than it was recently since our dollar is worth more. Gas might cost more here but it's also very relative.

This is wonderful. I had the greatest last day ever. I didn't bring anything to school except my scooter, and I literally rode it around for the entire day. You have no idea how fun it is to speed through crowded hallways weaving in and out while everyone is just like "Holy #####, he's riding a scooter." I mastered the scoot-and-high-five, and it was pretty much just 100% awesome all day. My teachers were all cool with it and laughed. At the end of the day, all the seniors left 15 minutes early and we all went to the smaller parking lot where the "DON'T STOP BELIEVING" stop sign is, and we all stood around it and cheered and honked horns and threw papers and everything. Some other kids fixed the stop sign and put "DON'T" back on. One of the school security guards walked up and asked what we were doing with the sign.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Captain Sanoguchi on 24 May 2008, 07:08:09 Man, today was great.
Around 5PM I went over to Cabby's house. We hung out for a little bit. Then we called up Irradiated and went over to his house. So once Irradiated finally ran out of things to stall our departure with we started walking around. So yeah, we walked over to a Sonic, we decided we didn't want any Sonic so we left. We walked over to a random comic book store. We looked at stuff. We left. We walked past a dead baby bird. Then we went into a pawn shop. We looked at stuff. We left. We went to Pokey Joe's. We got like a pound of sausage and some pudding, they even threw in a free loaf of bread. So we sat down and started eating, Irradiated didn't eat anything 'cause for some reason he's become a vagatarian. Anyway, his sister was randomly outside. So he went outside... Then he faded out of sight. I suddenly felt abandoned, so me and Cabby just sat around eating, and I commented on how soft ball is sexist, women should have to play baseball just like everyone else, jeeze. So, Irradiated actually came back, then we all piled into the back of his mom's car and rode around to everybodies house getting money, pants, and my fancy suit jacket that I like to wear sometimes for no apparent reason. So anyway, we went to a place called Main Event, it's some place that has like an arcade, a bowling alley, a rock wall, pool tables, and alcoholic beverages and stuff. In the beginning Irradiated was a tad too self-concious and was sluggish to go in, he was afraid that Main Event was completely motivated towards children. So, we had to wait to see a few people older than us walk in without any children. So we finally went in, and then I remembered why Arcades are dying. Paying money to play games is no fun. Yeah, so we stayed for a few hours playing mainly DDR and a few other random games. So yeah, I called my mom to get a ride and then we waited outside. Yeah, we waited. There we were minding our own business, then this dirty, busted truck pulls up. Some white supremacist looking guys wearing wife beater muscle shirts and douchey looking cowboy hats got out. There were four of them, all looking like they were anywhere from 24 or so to 30. They were all bigger than us and whatever, but it seems they all lacked any balls whatsoever. Anyway, when they walked by one of them said "Now you fags don't be too gay tonight." I was surprised to say the least. We were complete strangers who'd done nothing to him and he would just randomly say that? He'd insulted me and my friends, that's unfor-#####ing-givable. So after they had walked a few feet away I yelled to them that they were fags. Yeah... I normally wouldn't call 'em just fags or something, if I had time I probably come up with something better. Anyway, after having such a good time with my friends I wasn't going to let this sin go unpunished. So, I went up to their truck and spat loogies onto all of the door handles. Then I found Cabby had a sharpie marker with him, so I borrowed it from him and drew dicks all over the windows and side mirrors. I was quite content, but we thought it best that we relocate just encase any of those douche bags came back. While we were walking away I called my mom a few times telling her that she needed to hurry and come pick us up. I was really nervous, because she kept saying she couldn't find the place. So yeah, I was just a tad nervous, then I saw a drink cup sitting on a parking bumper. It had its lid on and everything, it looked perfectly fine. So, I picked it up and ran all the way back to the truck. I was in luck, stupid people often leave their windows rolled down. So taking advantage of the situation I dumped whatever liquid it was into the inside of the truck. Then I ran back to where Cabby and Irradiated were. My mom finally found the place and picked us up. It was around 10PM, so we went to Irradiated's house and played Rock Band for awhile. Then we watched some TV and some Youtube Poop. Then Irradiated let like all of his dogs into the house... They were like 6 huskies, all from the same litter, they all looked slightly different, but the amazing thing was the difference in their personalities. I mean, the only one I can really remember was Jack, he was silly, he'd get frightened easily and run away if you tried and get close to pet him. Then later he came up to try and sniff me or lick me or something, then I tried to pet him and he ran away. There was another dog, he was the only gray one, all the others were black, he liked to jump on people and stuff, he also randomly started howling, it was funny. Then there was one girl, she jumped up on the couch and laid down on me, then all the others randomly jumped on me, there really is such a thing as a dog pile I guess. So yeah, eventually it was like 12PM and Irradiated's mom and sister came home, so I guessed it was the proper time to leave. Also my mom was waiting outside, so yeah, we drove Cabby home... Then I got home and typed up all of this. The moral of the story is; friends are awesome. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 25 May 2008, 20:03:42 Yesterday, I graduated. Throwing our caps in the air and whatnot. All of it was great. Even the mess ups during the ceremony. Some old lady was making a long boring speech involving "Mr. Rogers". About halfway in her speech when she said, "Let me return to the subject of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood", I muttered, "Sweet Jesus, THE MAN IS DEAD. MOVE ON." The band played "America the Beautiful", and they sucked. Microphones squealed, you couldn't hear the flutes, whoever played the tuba was goddamn awful. It was SO BAD, that it was AWESOME. We couldn't stop laughing, especially when we started to hear singing.
"Wait. Are they singing?" "Yup." "I can't hear them..." "Dear God, this is almost the same music played when Bambi's mother dies..." "I feel dead inside..." After all that junk, I met up with my Dad who congratulated me. I followed him to the parking lot where someone had dropped a black case. I opened it up and inside was a Sony Digital Camera. No one else was around, so it was safe to assume it was my new graduation gift. I went back home. Grabbed some gear like swimming trunks and a towel. I drove to the school and waited for about an hour playing Mega Man: Powered Up in the car. The gates opened and we all boarded the bus to go to Daytona Lagoon for Project Graduation. The buses were so crowded (People were sitting in the walkway), and everyone was complaining about the excess body heat. Later that night, me and a couple of friends swam, played arcades, and mostly rode the karts. There was a drawing for prizes like a laptop, SD Memory cards, headphones, microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, etc.; but I never won a single one. We went back to the school at 2 AM, where we drove back home. Great night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 26 May 2008, 04:18:37 Spent the day at the local fair with the group of friends that wasn't at Cedar Point with me and thus were obviously going through Alec withdrawls.
The local fair was a step down from Cedar Point, yes, but still tons of fun. I discovered that I rather disliked the new boyfriend of one of my best friends, the one I'm taking to prom. I thought he was cool but tonight, an unfortunate chain of events made me decide otherwise. I'm not getting into it, but I feel a tiny bit like a dick because I played a part in getting the two together, and now I feel she deserves better. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Never flies very well. Whatever you're fighting about, you gotta just chisel off a piece of your pride and just be like, "okay, this is stupid. Let's stop." She will appreciate it and I you will too.
Then again, I hardly know you, and I certainly don't know her, and I certainly definitely don't know the situation, so my advice is most likely poopsmagoo. I have had a freaking excellent day, but I can't talk about it or else I'll just sound like "OHHH LOOKIT ME AND ME GIRLFREEEENENDNDNDND LOOL!!!" We are almost nine months though.

Like, I'm not being too stubborn to admit I was wrong or to apologize, I'm just trying to not have to be the one who's always forced to go around and actually work to solve the issue while no one else does ##### about it; which it seems like I always have to do, Either way I'm gonna see if she'll talk tomorrow before I go out, but I doubt I'm gonna be completely nice seeing as it's going to become a big drawn out serious talk and I'm not willing to bother hiding anything. I'm just realizing how it's rather obvious how much this is getting to me seeing as I actually hate to 'share' such things usually. God, this feels so High School and that's making me more mad. But no, it's cool you had a good day with your girl man and you don't have to bother hiding that. I'm not one -those- people. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Yeah, that does suck Mikey. I can understand why you wouldn't want to be the one to bend over. I think if this girl doesn't recognize that she needs to straighten up or whatevs, then it ain't worth it. Good thing you're having a talk today though, whatever comes out of that will most certainly decide whatever future may be. And I hate to share with people my problems too. It makes me feel selfish for some reason. I dunno. Maybe that's not the same reason you don't.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 26 May 2008, 17:47:07 I used to like to talk about my problems with other people, and then I realized that nobody else really does have the answers.
My entire life has been a do-it-yourself story, and I've only just recently realized that, and the sad thing is there are large gaps of my life that I really do need to keep 100% secret from my close friends and people in general. Only my family and two friends know about certain segments of my life, and both are girls. My parents don't know I've told anyone. There's one guy I would consider telling, but I'm waiting a bit longer until I feel I need to. All in all, what I'm getting at is that I'm a strong proponent of people figuring out their problems on their own, because of course you're going to make mistakes and fail some of the time, but that shapes you into the person you are, and in turn, the person you are shapes the outcomes of every situation you fall into. A lot of people come to me with their problems, but naturally it's hypocritical for me to give advice if I think people should solve things on their own, so it gets really tough because I've been told I do give good advice. Thus, my entire philosophy is shattered. When it comes to my own problems, I tend to always take a humorous approach if I feel the need to share them. If I really want to tell someone about how bad my day was, I make it an entertaining story. That way, people really do care and you're not bothering them in the process. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 May 2008, 23:40:56 The reason I don't like to share stuff is basically a combo of it making me feel selfish and the fact that no one's ever really cared either way so I've always just worked ##### out on my own for better or worse.

Instead, I'm hanging out with this one girl and then we get a call from my other close girl friend, the one I took to prom, about her boyfriend having dumped her, but she sounded oddly cheerful. So we met her at a restaraunt and she told us she was relieved that it was over because she finally realized he wasn't right for her and basically it was very uncanny. She was just really happy. I've helped more than my fair share of friends through tough tear-filled breakups, including this same one, so I happily welcomed this one. We hung out all day, watched Superbad (both were deprived of seeing it), got stuck out in the pouring torrents of stormy rain, fast-forward to an actual pillow fight complete with pillows breaking and feathers spilling out, then we picked up a guy friend at Best Buy and went to Dairy Queen and chilled out.

I threw my cap into the air and then immediately decided I wanted to keep the tassle so I dove over a seat to catch it... and failed horribly, tripping over a few seats and people and hurting my arm. I did get it, though. Tons of fun. People brought beach balls and inflated them during the speeches and the seniors were hitting them around. Also, the school warned us that if our books weren't turned in, we'd get a bill instead of our diploma, but everyone thought it was a joke. The kid sitting next to me opened his diploma up and got a bill for $4.50 instead of a diploma. It was for overcharged cafeteria money or some stupid thing like that. We were cracking up, we thought it was the funniest thing. He just opened it and groaned "You've gotta' be kidding me." Anyway, I've got more than a full agenda today, ending with a school-hosted senior all-night party from 11PM-4AM. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 June 2008, 19:33:41 That sounds like fun. Although the band and some of the speeches sucked, my graduation was the bomb as well. When I walked on stage, they gave me a little white leathery album cover-thingamajig. When I opened it... there was nothing. I thought, "Thirteen years, wasted. Thirteen years of work just to to be DECIEVED!"
Then after we threw our caps, we went back and got little white packets with you-know-what in it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your sexawesome day. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 1 June 2008, 19:38:00 They gave us our leather albums and the diplomas at the same time.
Our school's band is pretty good, and I'm friends with almost everyone in it so I'm also obligated to say that, but for whatever reason, they played a Star Wars medley during the seating. How random. One thing I forgot to mention: the choir and some of the band sang/played "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. It was the coolest thing to see people in graduation caps and gowns playing guitar and the drumset and really jamming out, the whole crowd was clapping along and such. This one kid is an amazing guitarist, so he's always fun to watch/listen to. Plus, this one saxophone prodigy who is the best musician I've ever personally met, was jamming along and it was beautiful. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I hear they're going to have one of those money vaccuum machines at the Senior All-Night Party. Like, where you stand inside and it blows money around and you have to grab at whatever money you can.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 June 2008, 03:12:46 I'm resting a bit before the senior all-night party, I'm leaving in less than an hour.
So I remembered this little tidbit. Facebook's got this application called Honesty Box, with which you can send anonymous messages to people. Now, I added it a long time ago and it was cool for a while but I forgot about it. I mostly used it for humorous reasons, but occasionally I'll recieve some serious ones. If the message is blue, it means a guy sent it; if the message is pink, it means a girl sent it. I'm a firm believer in facing people in person, so I never used it for anything other than humorous purposes. Anyway, fast forward. I've forgotten all about this. Suddenly I get a message saying I have a new honesty box message. : Anonymous Blue Male You truly don't understand how much I admire you and I guess that doesn't mean much but I've tried to talk to you and tell you and while I may not be one of your closest friends I owe it to you to say thank you for showing me that everyone has place and purpose From a guy, too. Interesting message, made me feel good. I can't for the life of me figure out who sent it, but it seems genuine and I'm glad I could help. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

T-minus 30 minutes 'till party. Posted on: 2 June 2008, 03:33:28 Back. Party was awesome. It was hosted mainly by parents of seniors, and it was a gambling theme where you could play card games and other casino-style games for fake chips, and then for every 50 chips, you get a raffle ticket. They had some great prizes, like a Nintendo Wii, 4 full copies of Rock Band, 4 copies of Guitar Hero 3 (for every system), about 6 DS's each with a different game, a crapload of iPods, tons of stereos, etc. etc. etc. I didn't win anything. However, everybody went home with a very satisfactory iPod-docking alarm clock thing. I'll take pictures later. I can't believe they were able to afford giving one to everybody.

I was thinkin' it was a party thrown by your friends from across the street. I can't imagine a kid that would throw a party and have prizes like those. Schools tend to put on this thing called 'Project Sunshine/ Project Graduation' Which basically takes all of the left over money that the class has raised through high school and puts it into a party. There also tends to be a class trip in there somewheres, but this year my senior class did NOT have a trip because of a budget freeze and the fact that the busses would cost an excessive amount. So we can get laptops at Project Grad. There will be more food than anybody can eat (guaranteed), Excessive drinks- caffeinated, And laser tag. As well as a magician, hypnotist, and a casino. We basically get the local Civic Center 'till dawn. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 2 June 2008, 23:29:38 I don't understand why high school kids think laser tag is good.

In Tech though, I caught up to where I was before. I was tapping the inside of this metal I lathed and I twisted the drill too far and it snapped. Teacher made me buy a new one. Today I'm at the point I was before, maybe a little farther, but going at a much slower pace 'cause I don't want to break the drill again. I only have two weeks of school left and I can't suffer anymore set backs for this project. I also played some Dragon Quest VII today too and fought a monster named HellVine. It reminded me of Snare. Which reminded me of MMMRPG. And I was sad. It also reminded me of The Game. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

For some reason, I literally imagined you doing the little dance Oil Man does. - - - - I had a pretty fair day. I woke up and had some waffles when the phone rang. I picked it up and it was my friend. "Hey. I can see you?" "What? Where?" "Right here." The doorbell rang, and I let him in. We fooled around and he did some stuff on my PSP. He gave me a memory stick with movies on it like National Treasure. Then we went to work to pick up our paychecks (we both work at Wendy's), and we went around to Wachovia to cash 'em. We browsed through the local Gamestop only to be surprised that it was coincidentally a sale day. Selective games were on sale 50% off. I purchased a Soul Calibur 3 for only $10. We went back home and I got into the subject about the Nintendo Wii. He dissed it, saying he doesn't like waving around a controller or "a wand", so he said it was really gay. I gave him a Gamcube controller and told them they both apply to Mario Kart and Brawl. We Brawled. I pwned. He enjoyed the game so hopefully I'm able to convert him. He left to go home at 5 PM. Around that time, my friend's girlfriend called me. We exchanged Wii codes and Brawl codes. We Brawled online for a bit until Xero popped in. We brawled, and then she left. Both Xero and I brawled for quite a bit, winning some and losing some. That's basically been it so far. I've downloaded all of the Brawl Soundtrack now and am listening to it. I don't know what to do next. Mario Kart? Brawl? Soul Calibur 3? Metal Gear Solid 2? OMG WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I'd be pissed, normally because I don't ever get ready in the morning unless I have a reason to, so if someone showed up I'd be in my PJ's unshowered until about 2, which is when I actually get fixed up regardless of whether or not I have plans.

It took me by surprise, but I did invite him yesterday and WAS expecting him so it was a little cool. He doesn't use his right judgement sometimes. The worst he saw was an unmade bed, Wiimotes, Nunchuks, and Gamecube Controllers scattered on the floor.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 02:39:42 If someone rings my bell I always sneak quietly up to my door to look through the peephole, because I assume it's someone trying to sell me something or change my religion. So I prefer it people tell me they're coming, and only a few people don't.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 02:46:18 Yeah, nobody really rings my doorbell unless I know they're coming.
So, I won't answer it unless it's pizza delivery (regardless of whether or not I ordered), expected friends, or if I know my dad's outside or something. If it's my dad I make him copy rythms that I knock on the door. Backing up, I realized recently that I have like, the cleanest room out of anybody I've ever met. I'm not a tidy or organized kid, but I just like... OWNING my room, so I make it look good. My bed is always made, not well, but it looks nice. I have things organized, though messy in their own context. Like, all my videogame stuff is on one side of my desk, my DVD stuff is divided between one cupboard and another thing near my bed, assorted electronics are in one corner of my room, pillows and soft things are on the floor in my closet... yeah. So it's messy, but in a clean way that shows style, I suppose. Everyone always tells me I have such a clean room but I don't ever clean it, it just becomes the way I make it. I stole my brother's chair for his desk and swapped it with mine because I think it looks better in my room than his, even though my chair looks like ##### in his room. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2008, 02:48:21 Oh, I'm paranoid whenever I see someone on the other side of the door I don't know, unless they're in a specific uniform like a UPS guy. The moment I heard the phone, I knew it was him, but I didn't know he was already at the door so IN A WAY he did tell me his position before he knocked.
Also, I have caller ID, so when I saw his number I picked up and answered "... This is Snake. Status report." My friend did something similar to me when I called him. "Thank you for calling Johnson's Abortion Clinic, how may I help you?" Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 3 June 2008, 02:49:46 My room is so small and messy from all my animation work and stuff that I sleep in the guest room, which is the same size. I have too much stuff I have to keep for my actual room.
I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number or if I know it's not for me. I hate the phone more than I hate instant messaging. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 3 June 2008, 02:55:05 With the UPS guy I try to answer it but they're already back in their little private delivery truck before I can open the door.
It's like they drop off the package, ring the doorbell, and walk away. Well, it's not LIKE that, it IS that. Phone calls... I don't like talking to my friends in front of my parents because I just feel like it's an invasion of privacy. So I actually just don't answer a lot of my cell phone calls and then call back later because a lot of people call me to have long conversations about problems or boredom, because I can really both help and keep an interesting conversation going... And I just don't want anyone else listening. As for caller ID... hehehe. I have fun with that stuff. If it's a telemarketer, it usually says "Unknown Number" or something like that, so I answer it and try to have fun. Usually they don't get it or don't play along and it's not even worth it, but hey, I try. I once tried the thing from Seinfeld where Jerry asked for the telemarketer's home phone number so he could call back later, and he declined so Jerry said "Oh, so I guess you don't like it when people call you when you're eating dinner." It worked, but it's been ages since I did that and I only did it once. I usually just answer really enthusiastically, like "OH MY GOD REALLY?!?! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW INTERESTED I AM!!! IT'S UNCANNY, I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I WANTED EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE OFFERING!!!" and then hang up. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 June 2008, 03:24:59 I've done that last bit before too. I reply just to check if it's an actualy person talking or not.
"Congratulations, you've won a free cruise." "REALLY?" "Yeah." "OH MY GOD THIS IS SO #####ING AWESOME HOLD ON LET ME CALL MY PARENTS AND TELL THEM ABOUT IT." *hang up* I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number or if I know it's not for me.

I'm a High School graduate. I don't do anything now but chores and work, which is exactly what I need to get done today. It's 7:20 AM (not real early, but I sleep in damnit), and my cell phone rings. I ignore it and it goes away, and then the house phone rings so I know it's one of my friends. My mom hands me the phone and I thought "this had better be important". "Hello?" "Yeah." "Bring your Wii to school." "Why?" "It's the last day and we want to play it. Bring it to Lunch." "... No." "Why not?" "Hell no. You woke me up. I'm cranky." "Not even for your friends?" "Don't play that card on me." The phone is exchanged and I can tell by the voices who I'm talking to. I say the same thing to everyone. "I'm not unhooking it. You woke me up. I sleep now." Then the phone switches to this guy I know who's a D-bag. I can already tell he's the ringleader of this BRILLIANT idea.

I eat Breakfast early and I take about a two-three hour nap to make up for the call in the morning. I wake up, and they called my cell phone again. I check the voice mail, and they're all snickering saying "We want your Wii. Bring your Wii and we will give you a high five." I call back on the voice mail and say, "You're all a bunch of idiots." They call back, and one of them asks if I was mad. I wasn't at all, I was just telling them to never EVER call me again in the morning like that, otherwise I wouldn't have had a problem bringing the Wii. Well, apparently, someone ELSE brought his Wii and were playing Brawl already. He had everything except for songs and whatnot (He actually got all the songs today thanks to our help). Teh original plan was that someone else was supposed to bring their Wii but didn't show up so they called me for backup (That information was actually PRETTY VITAL 'cause then I probably wouldn't have been pissed). She told me to come over, and I thought, "Hell. Why not. I'll be over. Need any controllers?" They said they had enough, so I didn't bring any. I make it in and all of a sudden I'm hearing comments saying I'm not allowed to play because I was a jackass and didn't bring my Wii. I brought it back. Comments went back and forth, stuff like: "You didn't bring your Wii. You're not playing." "You woke me up early in the morning like a rude douche." "OMG, not 10:00 AM." "It was 7:20, jackass." "Well, I got up at 5:30 so suck it." "You have SCHOOL. I DON'T. I have WORK." "So you expect to just waltz in to play?" "I was invited." "You didn't bring anything." "I volunteered to bring controllers. I was told there was six." Well, there were 3 working. One was broken, one was a Mad Cats, and the other was a Classic Controller. I rolled my eyes and watched the next two matches. After that, I went from behind, and asked for a controller. I got it and then they realized I had the controller and there was a big fit. "Shut up and just play. My God, you're acting like a bunch of fags when I didn't do anything." So, we played for the next two periods. We had a tournament setup and I won it as Pit, although the final match was an easy win. I got a 0% kill with the Dragoon and we were playing on Frigate Orpheon so when the stage flipped, my opponent flipped right below the platform and fell to his death, ending the game. Aside from all the bitching and dumb complaints, it was a pretty sweet day. I went home, played Brawl with a friend, and then went to work. Tommorow, I have to go to work from 10 AM to 5 PM, and there's a Graduate Party at 7 PM. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 June 2008, 03:39:34 I never understood how people could fail it, it's off the wall balls easy. How can you read a test that basically measures your ability to read and write, and still fail? Multiple times?! Yeah, I don't understand either. If I had to guess I say I would've had 95% on it, and I bet all of my friends scored there too (we're not the smartest bunch of people either). Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 7 June 2008, 03:55:37 Your 'friends' are idiots. And that's what made their "Last Day of School" awkward. Their arguement was since I refused to be nice, that excuses everything they did wrong, even though it's my Wii and I can do whatever the hell I want. Maybe I should call them all at 3:00 AM and see how they like it. Posted on: 7 June 2008, 03:43:08 OH YES. I forgot to mention. I laughed to myself when I saw it and this is something only you guys could get a chuckle out of too. It's probably not much, but it was kinda a coincidence. At work, there was a customer about my size, muscular, and had an orange beard. He was in uniform, and his little ID tag displayed that he works for "John Carlo Incorperated". HA.

That's like how this one kid at school had the last name Sano and he moved here from out-of-state so the first thing that went through my head was "holy #####, Sano moved here."
Anyway... today's events left me home alone for the weekend. My friends called me to hang at around 11AM, I was still sleeping. I couldn't get mad, though, since it was 11AM. Plus, I did want to go over. So, an hour later we were swimming on the lake, 4 of us were out in the middle of it with two paddles and no lifejackets on a very unstable "sailboard." It was like a flat surfboard-esque sailboat minus the sail. We tipped it over quite a bit, needless to say. So, when we're done, I dry off and get my cell phone, and I see like 10 missed calls from my parents. Apparently they decided to go up north to our condo for the weekend and were trying to find out where I was. Ultimately, they left without me and left me home alone for the weekend. Whatever, hehe. We went inside and for whatever reason we decided to play a full game of Mario Party, the original for N64. We don't usually play video games but it was fun. I won via those bonus stars at the end, and nobody was expecting it. Then we went to a grad party and our friend Evan was DJ'ing so we helped out and such. And then... wow, do you guys honestly care about my day? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Jakey on 7 June 2008, 04:52:22 No because you are a rich kid.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 7 June 2008, 21:29:25 I'm home alone so last night, right before going to bed, I turned on everything that can possibly make sound in the house to the maximum volume all at once.
All the TV's, stereos and computer speakers in the house were blaring. As soon as I realized that loud for the sake of being loud is not fun, I ran around trying to turn everything off and before I had a chance to, the power went out due to a thunderstorm. Then I got really tired. And I was getting sick of waiting, so I went to sleep. I woke up about an hour or two later when the power came back and most of the sounds started blaring again. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 8 June 2008, 01:57:23 Heheh, that's funny.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 June 2008, 04:13:32 I woke up at 8:30 and thought "Yay! I have to work a seven-hour shift!"
I go to work. It sucked through the whole day, until my friend gets off at 3:00. Around 4 PM, someone orders chili and we come to find that he forgot to put meat in the chili, so we all just made fun on how dumb he was for bringing up chili without chilli meat. I got off at 5 PM. Went home, took a shower, and called my friends. I picked up two of them and went to the graduate party. On the way to the second one who lives in the park, one of the rangers stopped me. I told him I was going to pick up the ranger's son and he said he was grounded and his father didn't want to let me in. I OBVIOUSLY knew it was a lie so I messed around. "You're a horrible fat liar. I don't believe you". This guy was amazing though, he kept a straight face the whole time and said quotes from his dad to not let me in. I then fell for it and said I'd just go up and turn around. He interrupted me and said "You're so naive, go on ahead". I started to bust out in laughter 'cause he managed to get me good. I picked him up and we made it to the party. We mostly played Brawl and Mario Kart Wii (I brought my Wii), but we had a blast. Random people even joined in so that was pretty cool, until we started messing around. This girl gave my friend a wedgie and ripped his underwear clean off. It was pretty immature, but we moved on. We would've stayed longer, but my parents wanted me at home by 11:00 PM, so whatever. When we left, they all started to play Guitar Hero. We made a bunch of jokes in the car going home. Nothing much happened there. We got home safely, and here I am. Pretty awesome night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 8 June 2008, 04:29:31 Today I got dragged to You Don't Mess With The Zohan.
Nothing special, but it wasn't horrible. It was CLOSE to horrible, but it wasn't quite there. Later I shifted from guy friends to girl friends and spent the night at a cancer charity drive at the school's football field and listened to her talk about her ex and how she wants him to like her even though she doesn't like him anymore but she kind of does but not really but she wants him to be jealous but only a little bit but it's complicated and stuff so I told her to can it and have fun but then I remembered we were at a cancer charity drive so I gave in and let fun subside for the evening.

HOW'S THAT FOR UNIQUE Anyway, today was crazy. Power outages all over town except my house, but I didn't know that until 10 minutes ago. I left for a grad party around 2, and while I was there a storm came out of NOWHERE. Heaviest rain I've seen in a long time. We saw the rain across the lake, and there was enough time for someone to say "Look at the water down there! Is that rain?" before we were being blasted by death-torrents of heavy rainfall from the sky. We ran inside and waited it out and it was really cool because of how crazy the wind was and how much rain there was. As soon as it ended (about five minutes later and almost instantly) we went out on their boat and went tubing. The calm after storm means that the water is like glass. Tons of fun on the water. One of our friends has never tubed before and kept falling off and it was really funny. Afterwards, we realized there was no power on this side of town. We went out to eat later and saw so many trees knocked over, and downed power cables, it was crazy. At 11PM it was like driving through a ghost-town. No traffic lights were working, there was no power everywhere, fallen trees were blocking the road in random places. I was finally dropped off back at my house on the other side of town. I never even lost power. I know this because even if our power flickers off for an instant, a certain light turns on near some cabinet in the living room that nobody ever turns on in any other situation. Also, I had left a DVD on pause, and it was still there. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

So, John drove and I was in the backseat. In the dream, it was about 7:40 PM and it was becoming pretty dark and... ... John falls asleep at the wheel. He was flat knocked-out cold. I LITERALLY became a backseat driver. Somehow, I managed to drive to the mall and drag John into the backseat, sleeping like a baby. I walk in and JCPenny's (being about the size of a Gamestop), had nothing I was looking for. I asked the clerk for help and told him my problem. He made a crack about suits and I laughed.

On the way, I bought a propel. Once I got there I stopped at a supermarket and bought a peach (they were cheap) and an Aquafina 'hydrate' that was orange lime flavored. Very artificial and aspartame-y but delicious anyways. I'll get more in the future. There is a thing called the 'Rail Trail' that takes you the for the full distance, with a bit through a town for about half a mile which slows ya down. Anyways, the way there, some dude in his 30's I'd guess started about the same time as me, and we raced from a quarter of a way into it to the end, it was craazy. Once we reached the end, he went on his way and that's when I stopped for the peach+water. Turning around, I needed some sort of challenge for the rest of the way. I rode about 7 miles back with no hands, save for when I had to come to a complete stop and on a few turns across the railroad tracks. The last 2 miles were a solid no hands, with my arms crossed.

Then we decided to take a walk around my neighborhood, because we did that in the winter. So, we took the same trail, but it was much harder because ALL the bushes and grass was grown in. We went to the same super-steep hill as in the winter and it was literally like a forest compared to the dead, barren hill that we were once able to see from all the way down the road.

We played Spongebob Monopoly, then played basketball, then played The Simpsons Life. It's the first time I've really played any board games since... childhood, really. I started running this morning. I used to do it every morning at military school, and I'm going to start up again. My neighborhood is a huge circle and it works great for morning runs. Plus, it connects to my friend's neighborhood so I can stop by her house some mornings if I'm up for it. Anyway, I took my dog for a walk later in the afternoon, and I'd never noticed it before, but that whole cliche about picking up chicks with dogs... well, it works. Maybe it wasn't ME in particular they noticed (it was the dog), but every good-looking girl I passed made me stop and let them pet the dog, and stood there for about 5 minutes talking. Huh. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 21 June 2008, 07:53:34 I've been thinking about starting to run. Though, I don't have any RUNNING shoes...

But we had storms a while back, on father's day the power cut out for like 40 seconds, but that's it. I actually wish it was storming though. I like it much better. I've noticed that people who don't live in Ottawa seem to think we have rolling blackouts or something though. Just a side note. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 24 June 2008, 19:09:31 While the fireworks were going off, we were talking about how many people probably died during, because gunshots sound exactly like the fireworks and it would be easier to get away with some murders right then.
We were also speculating on how Godzilla or the Cloverfield monster would pop up BEHIND us as the fireworks distracted. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 25 June 2008, 06:04:22 Gunshots don't sound exactly like fireworks or car backfires. It's a common misconception. Fireworks are a lot closer though, obviously.
And clearly Mothra would be the one to show up, having been attracted by all the pretty lights first, and then by the young human flesh second. I don't even know if Mothra eats people, probably not, but it/she would make an exception. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 25 June 2008, 16:30:18 I had a #####ed up night.
I got pissed at my mom and essentially ripped up all my graduation checks (about $400 worth) and then stormed out of the house at around 11PM, wearing nothing but jeans and a t-shirt. I just started walking and kept going. I walked about 2 hours across town, stopping at tons of places just to admire what it's like at night. Life is so different at night. I found one beautiful spot where there were literally hundreds of fireflies and you could just sit on the hill and stare at them and the open star-filled sky. Around 5AM, I got back to my neighborhood. I ran my normal jogging path but then I took a turn into my friend's neighborhood and threw pebbles at her windows trying to get her to give me a blanket, but she obviously didn't hear me. It was so #####ing cold out, but it was exhilarating. Eventually I laid down in an open field and stared at the stars until I fell asleep, and it wasn't too buggy. It was cold, though. I woke up around 9 and walked home shortly after. My mom was pissed. I slept for less than an hour in my own bed, which was like, almost heaven due to how comfortable it was, but less exciting than the rest of the adventure. So now I'm about $400 shorter and 100% more worldly. Definitely worth it. Everyone needs some alone time like that. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Wind is part of a very special and different branch of reapers that reap VG hardware. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 07:03:46 Yeah, that kid was really cool. I liked how they covered that even kids could become reapers, and that there were such diverse reaping divisions as animal deaths. But then I was thinking... what happens when he fills his quota? How does he get a replacement? Do we start getting dog reapers?
Wind, what do your Post-Its say? : Winduh's Post-It D. Screen Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 07:20:02 But then I was thinking... what happens when he fills his quota? How does he get a replacement? Do we start getting dog reapers? Exactly what I've been trying to figure out. And who reaps him? I think he said he was in a car crash or something? So that would be the accident division under Rube, so how does that work? Did the kid even tick on on the reaper's quota? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 07:23:18 I was thinking maybe it has to do with transfers. Also, I before he came along, I thought Post-Its were just Rube's style, his own way of doing things. I didn't think every reaper worked via Post-Its.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 07:29:45 I think it's possible that he worked under Rube too, though. If the did die in an accident he fall under Rube's division. Rube is rarely seen reaping anyone in the present, but he often seems busy like he has other appointments or something. Even though he shows up all over the place. It could have panned out that way if the series had gone further.
One of my problems with the movie is that there won't be any resolution to Rube's developments nearing the end of the second season, which lead to conflict with George that wasn't really talked about by the end. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 26 June 2008, 07:44:16 Rube was just too complex to throw away. I know they had that whole season-wide storyline with him but there's obviously so much more, including who he gets orders from and his overall relationship with the characters.
Also, unrelated, but what happened to Betty and all that. And expand more on how George... did that to Ray, or whatever. That whole thing. I guess one thing I liked about the show is that you felt comfortable not knowing all those answers. You just felt like they weren't important enough that you NEEDED to know them, but it was still fun to speculate since they're open-ended. As opposed to something like Lost, where every little detail leaves you wanting more. Just very different story-telling, and I liked it. Very laid-back. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 07:51:07 Yeah I love that.
Also, no only did she do what she did with the Ray ling, but she can also look directly at gravelings and they recognize her for something seemingly bigger (flashback to the pool and such). I think if the original creator had stayed on and if they had the opportunity, that whole toad and frog story would have had more significance too. But I could go on for ages about this show. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 26 June 2008, 16:24:28 ...Reaper's a pretty good show? <_<

Yeah, you're probably right, Mike. Also, is it just me, or did they call George's toad a "frog" for the entire series, even though in the pilot they made it clear that it was a toad? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 June 2008, 20:43:17 They did, but I didn't notice until now.
Even so, she does have a frog to take care of, and it is the gravelings. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 27 June 2008, 19:13:25 My Vacation was pretty good. Got to Rangley late on monday, and went swimming in the lake. Hiked a mountain the second day, then went to go swimming at a small gorge which due to all the rain would have been suicide, we didn't.
Next day we kind of lazed around because my dad sprained his elbow AND the previous night got two massive spider bites on his hand, which made it swell up a disgusting amount. Went for a short hike at a place we heard was nice. Again, because of all the rain, another trip was ruined. we 'hiked' through a swamp. Thursday was the best day though, I'd become decent friends with the folks at the camp across the road (2 12 year old boys, an 18 year old dude and his 17 year old girlfriend). We all went to a place called 'Smalls Falls' together, which is a bunch of pools, followed by decent sized waterfalls and such, all naturally carved out of rock. Some places acted as water slides and stuff, but there was this one ledge over a huge 30 foot deep circular pool. The ledge was roughly 50 feet up. It was SICK. Yeah, those are the highlights.

Today I was on my way to work and got off the bus a bit early to go into the Rideau Centre to get a Booster Juice and wheatgrass shot. So that enough made a good morning. But then I got back on the bus and made my way to Bank, walked down and got to work and after they unlock the door (weren't open yet) and let me in my boss Kin goes; "Mike. This is for you." And on the counter he has this board laminated version of the store's poster for this year (we do a poster every anniversary that's drawn by a comic book professional artist, last year was Adam Hughes and this year's was Steve McNiven). In my head I'm like "Okay..." and then I look closer and; :-O On one part it's signed "For Mike, best of wishes. -Steve McNiven" In my head I went putty, like "WHAT THES FASnqrogegerqgwergwfqwerfgsdf ewfWE" but outside I was just more like O_O because when I'm ecstatic it shows less than when I'm just happy since I don't know how to express myself.

I just spent about 5 hours with my girlfriend. It was swell. We walked around town, then came back and ate spaghetti. I then showed her some of the wonders of Photoshop. The WHOLE state had thunderstorms today except for this town, like, it was muggy and we could see all of the thunderclouds in the distance but they never passed OVER us. It was very weird, dark clouds across the horizon in all directions and a hot clear summer day above us. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 2 July 2008, 07:34:05 This is long. But I think it's a good story anyway.
Canada Day was great. Well, it won't totally sound that way but it was good. I was woken up early (after going to be late like always) by my family being entirely annoying and inconsiderate and coming downstairs at 8am and making breakfast and talking loudly and not giving any #####ing consideration to the fact that I'm trying to sleep on the couch (since I have to give up my bed for THEM) but they eventually left to go look at Canada Day ##### so I finally got some damn sleep. I woke up later to get showered and got dressed and everything hoping that I could play some GTA when I was dressed because I haven't been able to do anything with the TV that I want to do since my grandpa has to #####in' control everything like a child. But anyway just as I turn on the shower I hear them come home. Uhf. So I shower, get dressed, and wait for a friend to arrive. Then we go to leave I take a red sharpie and write "Strong" on the inside of my left forearm, and "Free" on the other one and we head out. We take the bus and they're singing ugly tone deaf girls in not enough clothing on it but it was bearable. We were the first ones there where we were meeting other people at 4PM, and then a couple of my friends finally showed up late and we had to wait a WHILE for the rest to show, while there's #####ing people in red and white everywhere like a candy cane ant infestation. But of course, singing retards and an extremely dangrous amount of drunk/drinking people is what such events bring out. They finally show up so we head out to try and find a spot at a bar or something. An hour later we got PRIME real estate on the patio at Pub 101. And people game later too. Ate, drank, was good. But it was hot as ##### in the sun where I was, that sucked. But the sun eventually went to bed so it was good. We left after the most annoying time trying to figure out our bills, which the waitress mucked up. Trekked over to a place between Parliament Hill and the National Gallery of Canada (like the dopest Art Museum, but that's another story) and watched the fireworks. They were good. Not as epic as I wanted but I'm a grown up and fireworks just aren't the same anymore. But they were #####ing awesome none the less and made me feel patriotic. Which is gay sounding, but whatever. Then we went to this house party that was kind of already partied out even though it was only 10:30, but it was cool because the party was on the roof of the apartment, and the roof of the apartment was on a street with a lot of clubs. One of which was next door and has a rooftop patio sort of thing, so we where actually kind of above all the people dancing and ##### there. So we went up there on a shakey ladder, the type of metal ladder that slides into itself that you'd have in the garage. The ladder mixed with his "fear of heights kicking in" (direct quote) meant the fat man that was pissing us all off the whole night left. Which was cool. But the party was pretty much fizzled out by the time we got there and the people at it where gonna go to a bar or whatever. We didn't want to wait in line for ever to get in a bar (in Ottawa on this day it's almost impossible to get in anywhere at night, and even in the day it's hard as hell to find any spot in the place to sit down-bar or club, doesn't matter-and the lines take like ten years) so we wandered a bit. Went and waited for someone outside this place called Mavericks that I often pass when I'm downtown. I can only assume this place is some kind of gay rave AND faux metal/punk club because all the patrons I ever see it have is like those really stereotypical kids who are emo that think they are punk and/or metal, and weirdo ravers with Pokemon or Sesame Street backpacks, eight thousand turbobright colour necklaces and wristbands and #####, bright yellow, orange, and other flamboyant coloured clothes and that whole bit. I saw a Cookie Monster backpack, and a Pikachu backpack. I saw this emotive kid get in a fight with her emotive boyfriend who looked just like her and she ran away, and then later I saw them hug and make up (AWWWWWW). But best of all, while outside this place, I saw a guy with long hair, eye makeup, and to top it all off he was wearing some short metalhead jacket (which admittedly, was a cool jacket except for it's shortness and who was wearing it) with NO SHIRT ON UNDERNEATH LIKE SOME SCAZ! Seriously what is with people? I thought I wasn't in 1983 for a second but then I remembered that if you remember metal in the 80's; You weren't there. Really though. What a chud. He was like a poser eye-makeupped version of one of these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrkdyzFiXyE) metalhead guys from Haggard. And I kept making fun of him in that metal-voice Brandon Dicamillio uses when he goes up and talks to them in that clip. Like seriously... "Rudido dooh I'm so metal, ladies a waoh did dodoodohdoh!" God. Anyway turned out that place was gonna be stupid (obviously) and there was a large cover so we ended up getting some water at a pizza place and then eventually making our way to the busses. HOLD UP, my story ain't done. This is the part where I get pissed off. I'm walking and over in the middle of the sea of people in the street on the left some dude is firing off fireworks. Which is rather stupid, but all the drunk people eating McDonald's think it's the #####ing limit even though they are actually kind of in danger. I'm thinking whatever, so we all keep walking and then on my left some guy runs by pushing people of his way and kind of laughing. I look and I see the cops chasing him. I'm like "Fuuuck. That was the guy." and I had recently passed his friends on my right, so as soon as I think that one of the guys I passed rushed by me and body checks the first cop chasing that guy who was shooting off the fireworks. But it doesn't matter, there's like 2 more cops who keep chasing the guy. The whole mass of people erupts and everyone on the road, and some on the sidewalk (where we were, and where the guy's friends where) start running in the direction the cops are chasing that guy. Clearly, people think they want to see someone take a night stick to the face. Trust me, no you don't. Anyway that happened to be the direction we were going to, 'cause my friend Sonia needed to hit the bank so she could get a cab. As we get under the bridge though, as everyone is #####ing running up, Sonia asks "Did he get away from them?" since we can't see him anymore. I said "Maybe. But no. 'Cause look at that..." and I pointed up to the end of the street where a massive line of cops was standing and moving in our direction, and some cops were running at where that guy would be. It was strange, now that I think back to it, it looked like a movie or something and we were getting quarantined because of some zombie/rage-ie virus. But anyway we kept walking and then cops were like "Go that way" in the #####ing rudest manner they didn't need to do, as we were just walking, minding ourselves. We headed back but I was really pissed off about it, admist all the people yelling "##### the police!" as if they knew anything about NWA, I even said something like "We're supposed to be celebrating a free country and I can't #####ing walk down a street if I want to, and it's NOT even for a good reason" to my friends. And then the cops had the stairs to the Mackenzie King Bridge closed off, which was where the bus was going to stop. So we went under the bridge and around the other but ON the bridge they wouldn't let us go our respective bus stops and just told us to pretty much ##### off and one of them literally said, and I am not exaggerating, "We can cancel Canada Day if you want." I held myself from telling her to go get #####ed. The people keeping pedestrians off the bridge weren't real cops anyway, they were at best a couple rent-a-cops and what I suspect were volunteers. But what a bitch. Canada Day was over anyway. I did however loudly say that the police can't cancel our country's birthday and that it was stupid and such as we were leaving. As we walked however an actually nice one of these volunteer ladies told us we'd have to go to the Laurier stop at Ottawa University. Which we knew, but she tried to help and I appreciated someone actually acting like we were people just trying to get home. While waiting at an intersection my bus went by. I would've caught it on the bridge if they hadn't been stupid about it. And before anyone says anything; Yes, it was a completely arbitrary barricade, and they didn't try to direct us or explain, just yelled at us like cattle. The police in this city frequently abuse their power. Anyway I got to the bus stop and my friend and I got on our bus a bit later. The bus is free anytime after 10pm (when the fireworks are SUPPOSED to happen) on Canada Day. On the bus someone tried to smoke a cigarette and a guy cussed him out, got up, and took and put the cigarette out himself. Then some dorkus white kid in a Cleavelan Cavaliers hat (so you know he's an idiot) was 'freestyle' diss rapping on some guy and everyone around him (his idiot friends) were going "OHHHHHH!", like they do, everytime he did a good line. Here's the rub; He didn't DO any good lines. He said "dick" every too seconds, and half of the time he didn't even diss with a rhyme. I think his best rhyme was the word 'Orleans' and 'morphine'. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I also don't even think it was freestyle, it was bad, but it also sounded thoroughly prepared. It got me into a whole spin of talking about today's hip hop and eventually my friend, a bunch of random teens who don't know anything, and I were talking about the Ice T vs. Soulja Boy thing. They Soulja Boy made a good point later on in the video, saying Ice T should be congradulating him and also said that yes, he can't rap, but he's making lots of money. Instead of saying "What. The. #####. Are you talking about, you #####ing retard?" I was like "... Right." and stopped talking to them. They got off the bus a second later anyway. The guy who tried to smoke on the bus tried again and this really hot chick yelled at him and said she was pregnant and if he smoked on the bus she'd go over there and put it out in his face. I don't think she was pregnant, as she said nothing the last time he lit up. Plus I don't want to believe she was pregnant like that, as she was sooooooooooo good looking and too young to be married or like... Ready for that and #####. I don't know her, so of course she could be totally ready. But, you get it. Anyway I finally got off the bus and away from rapping gaylord and I just ranted to my friend about how crap and artless and passionless everything is today like an old man on the walk home from the bus. And now I'm gonna go to bed. All in all, it was actually really good. I had more fun last year, I think, but I did more this year. Of course, last year at this time my life was as good as it had ever been in all aspects, and this year it's equally worse. So that helps. But it was good. Sleep now, because at 8am the family will come down and rudely wake me up. #####. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 2 July 2008, 07:40:32 I worked all day today.

Was supposed to go to Carifesta in Montreal today. Didn't go. Stayed up late to finish the cover of Mittens And Crumplehorn so I did not feel like driving into Montreal on as many hours of sleep as the drive there is (2 hours). Was supposed to go see The Happening tonight with Jess. Didn't go. She had a family thing she forgot about. Was then supposed to go see Wall-E with friends. Didn't go. Almost everyone bailed for different reasons, myself included. Almost everyone got back on to seeing a movie as their plans either ended early or fell through like mine. Went to see Hancock. Was almost late. Wasn't late. Saw movie. Was really dope. Then went clubbing for a few hours at The Drink to bail a friend out of an awkward sitch. Hadn't been there before. Was really dope. Have to go back. Good day. Supposed to go see Snoop Dogg and Infected Mushroom at the Bluesfest tomorrow. We'll see. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 July 2008, 05:54:28 I went to Thunder Bay today.
I wanted to watch Hancock, but my schedule didn't allow it... However, I bought Watchmen (all 12 comics into one volume, new) and a new, sexy Crimson/Black DS Lite with my Birthday money. Mmmm... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 7 July 2008, 06:32:43 You could just say you bought Watchmen. Few people that have bought it DON'T actually have it in the collection, really.
Anyway, I had a another long and dumb day. I woke up and my mom had turned my cellphone off, which pissed me off because I was expecting a call from a friend. So later on I called him and he said he'd call me 40 minutes before he was leaving for Bluesfest. Then he didn't call and it was past the time Infected Mushroom started playing so I left because I wanted to see the Snoop Dogg show. My bus was mega-late, and mega-packed, and mega-slow so I got down there and Snoop's show was already half over and my friend still hadn't called. I was BEYOND pissed off and considered going home, but I decided to stick around and watch the Snoop Dogg concert from outside (the Bluesfest event is outdoors, with many stages and simultaneous concerts) because there was no #####ing way I was going to pay for a ticket to go stand alone at a concert that's half over. Snoop was awesome. Like the best I've heard from him in like 10 years. Even his newer songs that I don't really like were great live. He's just great live. In that time I got to see him take a drag off the biggest blunt I've ever seen in real life (he got it from a guy in the audience, no less, after stopping in the middle of a song to say he smelled chronic. Specifically "I smell chronic... Yeah... This is that whiteboy chronic #####" or some such thing). I also so a dalmatian with the biggest dog balls ever by the fence near me. But yeah, Snoop Dogg was pretty sick and I wish I hadn't been TOTALLY pissed off beyond all recognition (POBAR?) because I could have enjoyed it. It was the only show I really wanted to see, too. Anyway during Snoop's last song I got a call from Nash saying he thought I was with our other friend Collin (who left before I got there, the gaylord) because he thought he heard me in the background when he called him, and thus didn't call me. I wasn't pleased but decided to go buy a ticket anyway (tickets are for the day or whatever, and we were gonna watch more concerts). I waited in line a long time, bought my ticket, and was still pissed off. I was going to be REALLY mad if I wasted 39$ on a ticket if I didn't like any other acts, since Snoop was done and we missed Infected Mushroom completely. So I got in and waited in line for a while to get a bottle of water and a lemonade as I was beyond thirsty. 5.75$ later and I was looking for my friends. I didn't know what stage I was supposed to go to (we were seeing Primus by the way) and the guy at the guy didn't know who was playing at what stage (OK I realize he's there all day and there's a LOT of bands in a day and there's only 4 stages, but come on. Give them a map with a schedule or something) so after figuring out what stage I was to be at (ON MY OWN), I played phone tag with my friends to try and find them in the crowd. Still completely pissed off I wandered through the crowd and mosh pit and half of the Primus show later I found them. For whatever reason, once I found them I ceased being pissed at them. I don't know why but it was like instantly I just wasn't mad anymore. Maybe I was being stupid earlier and when I saw them I knew it was an honest mistake, I don't know. Watched the rest of the concert with them. Primus is #####ing awesome. It was a wicked show. I didn't know of the band before, apparently they were big in the early 90's (when I was listening pretty much only to reggae and some hip hop) so I'm going to have to get some Primus tracks soon. They were incredible. After Primus we waited around a bit then went to meet up with people and went over to another stage to see The Wailers. The Wailers! I knew they were playing Bluesfest this year but I didn't know it was the same day! I grew up on Bob Marley and The Wailers! That's like my roots! That said, I'm not sure which "The Wailers" it was. Obviously it was not the rock band, but there was "The Wailers" that was a band Bob Marley was IN, and then later there was "Wailers Band" who backed Bob Marley, being "Bob Marley and The Wailers". However, the program said The Wailers, not Wailers Band, and a song they played later lead me to believe it was a reuniting of the original, minus Bob of course. But I just checked on the Bluesfest website and it seems Wailers Band is just calling themselves The Wailers now, as the members of the band on the site only sync up with the members of Wailers Band. Weird. So we chilled there for a while. That stage was right by the water and it looked great. But friends were tired (uhf) and wanted The Wailers to play songs they did with Bob Marley, but they were basically only playing their stuff without him. After a while at that stage we went to the fourth stage-just around the corner-where The Weakerthans were playing. As we were going though, The Wailers started playing "Stir It Up"! Like ##### my #####ing friends, they started to leave at the best time! But whatever... I'd heard The Weakerthans on MTV Live before, but they weren't playing I knew and they were just OK. People wanted to go so we left Bluesfest then walked across the bridge into Quebec (ew!) and looked for a club because for whatever reason Adam wanted to grind on jailbait young girls. Nothing was open anymore so we went to a pizza place and ate a bit, then walked back over the bridge into Ontario (yay!) then to the bus stop, and then parted ways. Now, I'm very tired. But even though I was pissed off half the time, it was a good day in the end. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 8 July 2008, 06:26:15 My dad and I rode home from our new condo up in northern Michigan today. It's about a 4-hour ride.
So, I'm watching Seinfeld on my portable DVD player, and we're moving really slow in some tight traffic. Eventually I look out the window and there's this cute girl to the RIGHT of me on the side of the road, standing on her cell phone and looking frantic. Sure, where she was standing in the road was weird, and she looked frantic and stuff, but the only reason I really looked up was because she was cute. And then I sort of NOTICED she was frantic. So, I sort of turned my head to the left and looked past my dad, who was also staring out the window, and saw a completely flipped over car, and one totally torn apart one, and a rescue team trying to pull some guy out from under the flipped car, and a handful of people running about. It was the worst accident I've ever seen. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 8 July 2008, 06:58:30 Standing on her cell phone?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there was a death. An upside down car means it was thrown around a bit, plus it's upside down, and the other car was literally permanently damaged, it looked like a trash compactor was having its way and stopped halfway through.

Earliest in weeks. Went to some friend of a friend's mom's house to get paid to remove dirt from her basement. But it wasn't dirt. It was 2-5 inches of clay over 2 layers of brick. Which was over clay as far down as we dug. Wet clay. We aren't done yet, but when finished, the top 2 feet of soil and junk will have been removed. We're half done. We load the dirt into 5 gallon buckets (about 20 liters), and lug it up stairs and dump it in a trailer. $8 each hour. I'm pretty dead. 'night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

$7.40 sounds about right, though. What's cool is that I work for my dad now. He's an engineer and he works out of our basement, he set up an office down there. Basically I just do all of his filing and go out and buy him supplies and help him with the computer and stuff. It's great. So, today... well, I have swimmer's ear. And my ear is KILLING me. Like, some of the worst pain I've had since my kidney stone a decade ago. Which they say is equivalent to giving birth. I can vouch. So, all day it's been killing me. I can't stand much more of it. I'm practically deaf out my left ear and anytime I move pain shoots through it. But misery loves company, so I hung out with my friend who has poison ivy all over her face. We basically just sat and complained at each other. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Jakey on 11 July 2008, 05:16:49 That sounds both pitiful and beautiful.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 11 July 2008, 18:53:48 I'll bring you all up to speed on what's basically happened since the computer issue.
-Tried to fix the computer on my own. Failed. In desperation, I downloaded a tool that was supposed to fix the adware "VirtuMonde". It didn't. -First day of college was June 30th. Algebra is boring, but EASY. I went through all this crap already with Precalc so I'm just sitting back and nodding my head to whatever the teacher says. I met my English professor. HE'S THE #####. On my way home, I saw the word "COMPUTERS" in the corner of my eye so I stopped by. A shop called "Techs N the City" took my tower and was going to work on it that week. Regular spyware/adware/virus fixings would run me $49.99. I didn't give a damn. Dropped it off and went home. -Worked a lot. -Make a ton of Brawl stages -Unlocked everyone and everything in Mario Kart Wii -Unlocked every trophy in Brawl except for the stickers trophy. I'm about 30 stickers away from getting it. -Did absolutely nothing for the 4th of July, besides work. Had the day off from college. -This week, met the guys working on my computer. They said that I had a royally screwed up computer and that most of the stuff infecting it was entirely new to them so it'd take some time for them to remove it. Another guy had the same problem. They gave me access to their office in the back where I was able to see a bunch of other #####ed up computers. I learned quite a bit and was pretty impressed. Also, that "tool" I downloaded was a trojan. ##### me and my stupidity. The computer was "fixed" so I took it home. Hooked it up, and bam; same ##### all over again. Took it back and told him I'd come back Friday (today) to check up on it. -Turned in a paper to my English professor and had some pretty entertaining conversations with him and some other student he had. Seriously, I like this guy. -Got a free slurpy from Seven-Eleven (cause it's 7/11 today, duh). Picked up my computer today and it's MAGNIFICANT so far. I think that's everything. Oh yeah, and ever since the virus attack, my dad removed the administration set-up from my computer. That means I can actually download software like AIM, Yahoo, and any game Vinch makes. ABOUT TIME.

Yesterday at work, my friend (the same one who #####ed up my computer) was juggling his knife and catching it by the blade. I warned him that he's carrying a weapon and could he get in trouble for just having that in possession while in broad daylight. I also warned that he won't ALWAYS catch it by the blade and he'll miss and regret it. He didn't listen. Regular Einstein. Well, I go away to help the manager shovel some stuff until I see him run back to the kitchen. I follow. THERE HE IS OH YES HAND COVERED IN BLOOD HOLE IN HIS HAND IT'S PRETTY DEEP WTF. He says he was opening seals. Uh-huh. Right. Sure. I told him he should've used a box cutter, but he said he can't always find one or he loses them. I said he can still rip them open with his arms like I do, and he says "I'm lazy!". #####ING MORON. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Kirby can copy one power at a time. MegaMan copies powers and gets to keep them for an entire game. Kirby has a TV-show. MegaMan has three. Kirby games are short and pathetically easy. MegaMan games are always of perfect-length and provide a good, hearty challenge each time. Kirby has a big mouth. MegaMan has a transforming robo-dog. Kirby's main villain is a blue penguin with a mallet, and occasionally a black cloud. MegaMan's main villain is a criminally insane evil-genius mastermind, with 8 new villains every time. Kirby saved a Pop Star. MegaMan saved THE WORLD. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 12 July 2008, 20:36:13 You gotta admit that Samurai Dark Matter is a cool guy though.

I downloaded it on VC. I was annoyed by the whole "press up to jump and float". It's the worst Kirby game I've played in my own opinion. Of course, I've only played five, four which were actual Kirby games. The other was Kirby's Avalanche. Kirby's Adventure Kirby Superstar Kirby 64 Kirby Squeak Squad Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

When you beat it, Metaknight's sword appeared in this one place and you could go get it anytime (I'm not sure if all Kirby games do this or not, I know some do, but all the levels were connected to each other).

Thread Post by: The Otaku on 13 July 2008, 04:27:50 A post relevant to the topic:
Today my brother had to go to a birthday party and it's right across a library I don't usually go to, so I checked out the library. When I went to the YA section I saw a whole load of anime DVD's and videos and I checked out as many as I could. So now I'm watching Galaxy Railways, which is great, asit strays from the regular anime sch-fi's that're just about giant robots. GR is about trains in space, and it seems really cool to me. I also got seven Evangelion DVD's, just for old time's sake, an old Ranma 1/2 movie that sucks more than Chron at Pac-Man, and You're Under Arrest, about some cops that . . . act like cops. Besides anime I got Eragon and Meet The Robinsons for my brother. You know how you see weird people all over the place? Well at the library I saw a nerd who was glued to the screen while playing Runescape with a grin on his fance and wild eyes. Then I saw a lady who looked like a hobo pacing around the computer lab and saying '#####' everytime someone took a computer. Then I saw someone who looked like a guy and a girl. It had badly braided hair that looked very, very coarse, and it's face was like those terrible child actors, only I couln't tell if it was a Haley Osment or a Shirley Temple. Then I was messing around with the Sudoku puzzles on Brain Age and copied the results on graph paper so that I can redo and just copy from my version, thus getting my at rocket speed and less than two minutes complete time. And then I helped my dad cut up the insides of raw chicken. Then I logged onto MMM and started typing this. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Funny, because the Runescape guy told me about some crazy girl who was running up and down the anime aisle at his local library, shouting about how much she loves Universe Roadways or something like that, and something about how some stupid dork named Shinji is a real loser but she loves him anyway. He also saw her furiously copying some stuff off of her Nintendo DS screen onto a piece of paper and then grinning furiously as she started doing the exact opposite seconds later. Also, she liked Eragon. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2008, 08:32:53 Ranma 1/2 rocks. But if you just watch a movie without seeing the series, then you'll just be completely lost. I never finished the series (I think), but I do remember watching that particular story. It was OK. Not the best, and it was kind of just a filler story that didn't really GO anywhere, but it wasn't awful. BuuUUUUuuut I have to say that in general, Ranma was/is awesome and I should watch it again since I haven't seen it since I was in the ninth grade (2000-2001).
Posted on: 13 July 2008, 03:21:35 OK double post so I can separate this from that. Friday Worked the day. My #####ing frienemy came IN THE MORNING and stayed until the afternoon. I hate when he comes to the store because he monopolizes hours of my time and I pretty much totally don't like him nowadays. That night Sonia and I went to a bar (The Brig) downtown, we were supposed to meet up with people but they never showed or something so we just talked about our other friends and how they can be stupid and/or are in a bunch of drama. Saturday My godmother was over and tried to tell me DMX is in a biker gang, when I know that's wrong and was literally checking her "facts" online as we argued, but you can't tell her #####. Pissed me off. But she left to go home to Montreal right after that anyway. Was supposed to go to see The Happening with Jess at night. Again, we didn't go. She had no money and refused to let me pay even though I was planning to do that anyway. Later, she called my cellphone crying. So upset she could barely breathe. Never have I heard her that bad. So I drove to her house and picked her up (which took longer than it should have because she didn't realize I'd been texting her when I got there) then drove back here. We didn't talk until we got here and she told me what was wrong, which I'm obviously not going to talk about here. Anyway we hung out and watched a DVD here, but I had to take her back home right after because she has to work tomorrow. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

We ordered take out which I didn't eat much of, now shes sleeping over, in my bed. I really hope this doesn't happen when I start work or go to school. I also checked my hard drive..

Later, she called my cellphone crying. So upset she could barely breathe. Never have I heard her that bad. So I drove to her house and picked her up (which took longer than it should have because she didn't realize I'd been texting her when I got there) then drove back here. Replace all the "she"s and "her"s with "he"s and "him"s and I did the same thing for a gay friend. I mean, I've done it for a few girls, too, but everything changes when you do it for another guy, haha. Pretty much the same story, save for the texting and the work tomorrow. Right down to his silence in the car. I called one of my girl friends and made her join me, and I picked her up before I picked him up so it wouldn't be awkward, but he still sat in the front seat.

I went to the festival Saturday. Woopty doo ice cream. Woopty doo food and crazy stuff. Bought my girlfriend a necklace. BUT THE CHUGGING. Ah, the Moxie Chuggin' Contest. Yes. Prelims, 3 rounds, whoever drinks the most in one minute moves to the finals. First round, buch of lightwights (random drawing), save for one guy who drank almost 2 liters (These were 1 liter bottles) Second round, hot competition. Myself, my father, and some other tough drinkers. I won by drinking barely less than 2 liters in a minute. 3 people were less than 1/5th of a bottle behind. SO, Watching the third round was the best. Some crazy guy gets onto his third liter in the one minute, and another guy almost ties me. The guy who drank more than 2 very quickly vomited all over the table, which upset another contestant's stomach. The second guy had a full beard. He had eaten a sausage sandwich. he tried to hold it in with his hand. his beard strained the vomit quite well. It was hilariously gross. The 3rd place guy in that heat moved on by default. Puking gets you DQ'd. Final round comes around 15 minutes later, the finalists had to stay on hand so they didn't go puke in private. They cleaned up all the puke etc... and the final round is who can drink a single liter the fastest. Remember, we're still full of soda. Winner got it in 17 seconds. I did in 19. Got sicker than hell after though, I crapped liquid Moxie for hours and peed like crazy. Fun times. Will have pictures soon. So, I took second, I will got a shirt, that's all I wanted.

And then, even though I'm freakishly tired, I could not go back to sleep. I tossed and turned in bed for an hour before thunder boomed and made the electronics in my house sound funny. Funny enough to annoy me to get up. Then I took a shower. In the thundering rain. Not sure if it was safe or not, but I rushed out of there with the lights went out three times in a row. Then I went downstairs, disconnected my computer and Wii just in case the lightning gets worse. I lost an N64 because of lightning... Then I started to read Watchmen again from the beginning (didn't finish it the first time I started but it has been a month since I stopped reading it, and not because I was lazy but because I read it in a book store two hours away from me... now I own it).

Aside from school, I went to work and heard that two people are quitting and someone was fired. Two girls decided to deliberately screw over the manager last night and clock-in late. She suspended them and told them to go home. They started to verbally fight over it so another manager took them back, telling them to calm down and stop disturbing customers. At that time, there was a yell, and the manager rushed back to the front and looked into drive-through. A guy I work with ran over and nailed the girl running the drive-through register in the nose. Even after that, the two girls still argued over their suspension. Sounded like one hell of a Sunday night. I was talking to NovaMan on AIM a couple of hours back. He told me to get the first three Phoenix Wright games before I get Apollo and I said "I can't find the 2nd game anywhere, or Mega Man Legends 2". I mentioned that my brother might be getting it for my birthday through eBay, but I honestly wouldn't know. A few minutes later, I pick up the phone and it's my brother saying "I GOT IT!" He won a $34 bid, and is winning another one. Unless someone outbids him on the second one, I might be getting two copies of Legends 2. I can't wait to play it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

The first one is consistently sexist; not hard to see why it would havefend. There ARE some valid points made here and there, but there are a lot of counterpoints that are either glazed over with false respect or left out entirely.

Thread Post by: Chron on 23 July 2008, 16:44:10 I hate the spelling "cheque". I know it's supposedly more proper since it's derived from French, but it's still a bastardization of the actual word (which is Arabic).
That and it's not phonetically sensible, and if there's one thing I'd LOVE to do to the English language, it's make it phonetically spelled 100% of the time. I suppose its a forlorn hope, since nobody else cares about simplicity. Today is a day that is no different from any other day for me. I have a boring life, at least until I get a job.

Nobody was hurt, and only the rooftop crashed down, but the most annoying thing is, they didn't even start the fire. The house is connected right beside another house, like, wall connected. The guy in the other house turned on the oven to cook something, and went in the shower while it cooked. Somehow, he didn't think that food bursts into flames when it absorbs enough heat. So... that guy's house is completely scorched, and my cousins and my uncle had to suffer from someone else's stupidity. A lot of their things are soaked, my male cousin's room is ruined, the whole upstairs is pretty ruined too, and it looks like its going to collapse downstairs. It's pretty horrible. My uncle and cousins are forced to live with my grandma right now... the house may have to be completely taken down, too, and the insurance is only going to handle half of the repairs.

That new Thin Mint Blizzard? With the Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies? Oh gawd. The most delicious ice cream I've ever had.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 25 July 2008, 16:31:58 Why have we trained our customers to expect free things and/or special deals?
We have a special going on where any size soft drink is one dollar, and I constantly have people looking at the receipt and proceeding to bitch and moan because they got a meal, so their drink shows up as $1.83 instead of a dollar. This is, of course, despite the fact that with our meals, it's discounted to the point where, if you split the cost up, the drink is about a dollar. Most people are mollified once they learn this, but we still have people who demand to have the meal refunded and charged separately. We also constantly have people asking if we have special deals on sandwiches daily, as well as asking if we have things like the Angus Burger (because it totally isn't new, therefore logically stating that we'd at least have a sign or something if we did have it) or turkey sandwiches or muffins. I don't know what your Canadian McDonaldses sell, but bran muffins? Turkey sandwiches? Isn't that what they have delis and/or sandwich shops for? There are also the people who only want one pie, and then insist that they won't pay more than 50 cents for it. Yes, it's stupid that two pies are three cents more expensive than one pie, but that's because the two pies are discounted. If you're that cheap, why are you eating out at all? Going back to the signs business that I mentioned earlier: You'd seriously think the population of people who can read the menu board could also read a) the prices, b) the clear signs saying that we don't have espresso, c) the "Order" and "Pickup" signs, as well as at least have the logic to realize that no espresso means we don't HAVE lattés, much less free ones on Friday, and no, we can't substitute something completely different because you want a free drink. _____ Jesus, I'm glad it's payday.

He paid me $1.06 (including tax, of course), and I gave him his soda.
He started to bitch and moan saying that I'm a rip-off artist. He pointed to the sign on top that says "Upgrade your combo. 69 cents for a Medium. 99 cents for a Large."

And I quit before I even worked the cash (they dicked me over for working cash, but that's not why I left, just a part of a series of #####).
I don't know what your Canadian McDonaldses sell The same as yours. ::) But I guess they have bran muffins in Thunder Bay apparently. I don't know, I've never liked muffins much. I know they HAVE muffins at our McDonald's' (Two apostrophes or what? That always confuses me.) but I don't know about bran muffins. The only "bran" I like comes with raisins and is a wicked awesome cereal. there are enough coffee shops around here to float a cruiseliner. I have to say, I have absolutely no idea what that means... Anyhoo... Today at work (the Silver Snail, as it is Friday) I had to go to the bank as usual, but when I got there the teller couldn't do the deposit because my boss forgot to put the account number on the slips (there's slips for businesses, you probably already know that...) so I did the rest of the banking stuff and walked back, got my boss to fill it in, then had to walk ALL the way back to the bank to do the deposit. But this time I had the girl teller that I usually get and we chat a bit every week so it was cool and she game me a free TD Canada Trust (That's Canada's TD, I think the U.S. has TD Banknorth, yea?) water bottle for coming there twice on such a hot humid day, and it is pretty sweet. I like it 'cause it's one of those aluminum/tin waterbottles, has a TD logo (which I like because the logo is green and TD is a sponsor of the Boston Celtics) and one of those tops that is basically just a loop so you can put it on your bag or whatever and the top screws into the bottle, whereas most waterbottles are the opposite (the cap having the "female" part instead). So that was nice of her. When I left the bank so I immediately dropped it, so it has a few dents and scratches already. But whatever, it's, er, punk now. And I'm sure to use the bottle everyday. Also when I got in my boss gave me free stuff again. I got a T-Shirt of the new Mummy movie. Whatever. AND a Hellboy II belt which is wicked! The belt itself is just OK, I probably won't use it. It's brown. It says Hellboy II on it. Whatever. But the buckle, ooohh the buckle, is the B.P.R.D. buckle like they have in the movie! It's not plastic or anything either, but it still isn't real metal. But it's strong enough. It's great because I saw that buckle online and told my assistant manager it existed and we should sell them and wanted to get one myself if we ever got them in, but now I got it for free! It's sweet because the buckle says nothing on it, just the logo so if you don't know what it is then whatever but if you do know then you probably think it's a cool buckle. I just have to remember not to wear it with my Hellboy II T-shirt. Because I don't want to be THAT guy, you know? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I had to cancel tons of plans with my friends including a grad party I wanted to go to, but whatever, I'm over it now.
It's not that it's boring up here, it's just that they dragged me up without warning and I had tons of stuff to do at home. Today I mainly just played videogames. And yesterday, too. I haven't had days like this in a while. And I've been watching Spaced with commentary. Simon Pegg wins about a million more bonus points for listing off his favorite TV shows of all time, and he had Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm among other of my favorites on there. This man DOES have taste. I'd really really love to see some of his old stand-up, but I can't find anything anywhere. Also, his American accent is hilarious. "OH SIMON I BET YOU'RE A HUGE FAN OF MONTY PYTHON! No, it's just the last thing British you remember." Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 27 July 2008, 07:08:04 I found myself very restless today. Woke up earlier than I do on weekends. Was storming all day, and my mom took the car to Montreal for the weekend.
I tried to read a bit but it didn't work out, so I drew for Mittens and Crumplehorn and put on the DVD commentary for Knocked Up, and then the commentary for Superbad after that. Surprisingly Collin and Sonia asked if they could come over, which is rare since I live the farthest from Collin than anyone and he complains if I want to do anything here. So they came over and I also invited Robbie, who was bored at his house, to come over. Robbie lives close but only got here at the same time as Sonia. Anyway we watched the end of the Superbad commentary and then they wanted to watch another funny commentary so we watched the The 40 Year-Old Virgin one, which is very friggin' long. Then we played a bunch of Soul Calibur 3, and they went home. Now I'm restless again, so I'll probably just go read and then sleep while listening to a House rerun. Not being at work feels very weird, being able to relax feels very weird. It's almost unsettling. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

And made a cracking sound. I hobbled over to a place to sit, asked to borrow someone's phone to call Ray, then immediately burst into tears as the initial pain hit. Ironically, though it happened on my way home to get my work shoes, my boss didn't find the humour of the timing. Every single vein in that foot is showing, and it's twice as big as normal.

Tomorrow, Watchmen should arrive. Then I'll be a bit more occupied. My brother got a Rip-Stik, though I think I already mentioned that. It's pretty fun to ride. I was listening to the commentary on the Spaced DVD's, and there a was golden moment where Quentin Tarantino refers to M. Night Shyamalan as "M. Night Shyamaladingdong-or-however-the-#####-you-pronounce-it" and I think it's just wonderful that not even other star directors can pronounce his name. I've already started calling him that myself, over in the movie thread. By the way, definitely invest in Spaced. It's perfection, and it gets better every time you watch it because you catch more things every time. It's a work of art, not a regular TV show. More... uh... Facebook is all screwy.

AUGUST 1st, 2008: Dog carcass in the alley. Finished Watchmen. Definitely single-greatest thing ever read. Looks to hold up to future readings. Must investigate further.

THIS IS MY BEST PICTURE. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 2 August 2008, 04:37:20 Worked the store today. Almost caught up with my comics finally, but Barrell still comes in and #####s me over for it all by talking to me for hours. At least I'm almost back on track.
Got a "Step Brothers" sweat band. I didn't really care about it, but it's red, white, and blue, and I wanted a sweat band like that. Free is free and I can hide the "Step Brothers" logo on the inside of my forearm enough. Bought Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall, which I have yet to read. Also bought a couple comics I'd already read but are part of what I collect, and a Mini Munny (yaaay!). Went to the Rideau Centre after work and bought two new CDs; NaS's new album with the controversial no-title, and Be Your Own Pet's album called "Get Awkward!" I haven't listened to either yet, but I have some tracks from the Be Your Own Pet album downloaded already, including the song "Becky" which was banned in North America because it says "We'll wait with knives after class". Seriously. What the hell? After that I visited Jess at her work and waited around for her while they closed the store then bussed back with her. Got eaten by some mosquitoes while waiting for my transfer bus (she got a ride from her parents from where we got off). Tomorrow I'm going to see "Step Brothers" with her. I don't really want to see it, have heard mixed reviews, but she wants to and I've seen everything I wanted to see that's currently out anyway. OH and this is for ASR; Yesterday I finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and will start The Restaurant at the End of the Universe this weekend. Which is a long weekend. Seems impossible that upcoming movie will satisfy. Unlikely to translate well to film. Highly reccomended everyone reads in original format. Agree, but I'll be seeing it fooo sho. The prettiness of the movie actually goes against the idea of the book. The artist of the book can draw incredibly, but he had to dull it all out and-I think I've invented a great term here-boreify it all because that's what the STORY had to be like. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 August 2008, 04:50:30 I'll definitely see it, too, and I'm damn excited for it now. I'm just glad that I actually chose Watchmen to get off my ass and read before the movie, unlike 300, which I was originally going to buy and read, yet now I don't feel like it. I would do the same for V for Vendetta, and since I never saw the movie either, I'm thinking about it.
Anyway, my point is that there's a LOT of stuff that simply cannot be translated into film. I'll be able to subconsciously fill in the missing bits because I've experienced it as intended, but I don't think it'll be a hit in much the same way the Hitchhiker's Guide movie suffered: it only appealed and made sense to fans, and butchered much of its entirety so that even the fans disliked it. I'd LOVE to be proven wrong, though. And back on the topic of Hitchhiker's Guide, I'll just point out to you that Life, The Universe, And Everything is my favorite of the batch. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 2 August 2008, 05:07:37 V for Vendetta is way more boring in the book. I'm not a fan of the movie 300, really, so I'll never read it.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 August 2008, 05:22:49 I have a feeling 300 would be a really boring comic, which is why I've never bothered. I was going to read it before the movie, but I never got the chance, and now I just don't care. But I did like the movie.
And I only have slight interest in V for Vendetta. It doesn't seem to be to interesting to me. Watchmen just kicked a lot of ass, though. Rorschach has an amazing costume, the sort of thing I wish I'd thought up myself. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 August 2008, 05:33:04 I've never been big on comics or anything, so naturally I have no idea who The Question is, but I like that name for, well, is he a superhero? Or whatever. Yeah. I like the name, either way.
I feel like I would've really liked comics if I had gotten more into them as a kid. Especially with the big superhero boom lately because of movie adaptations, I've become a lot more interested in them. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 August 2008, 05:40:32 Yeah, I already looked him up after that post. I can definitely see the similarities.
But was he... like, the same as Rorschach? How much is different? Personality-wise, I mean. I'm guessing very. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 2 August 2008, 06:01:41 I can't say, I haven't read enough of either. But what I have read, they're rather similar.

Thread Post by: Winged Warrior on 4 August 2008, 23:40:39 Today was the kind of day that makes you want to double check to make sure you left your weapons at home.
for the first part of my day, things were pleasant, I was on time with all my tasks, no lag, no post-teenage angst. However, While at work over the past week, I have realized that if the head cook has had a bad day, He will ensure that everyone else will have a horrid day as well, and since that poor bastard ran out of gas on his way to work, ON THE FREEWAY, My day was filled with his intolerable bull#####. For starters, He came in a half an hour late, while I was coring tomatoes for the slicer. Immediately, before he clocked in, I was told to "hurry up." In my confused frenzy, I sadly threw the corer away with the scraps of tomatoes. I hurriedly started, and then finished my dishes, only to reminded of my other tasks at hand. I quickly tried to finish them, and when done, another sink of dishes were ready to welcome me. Now behind schedule, I finished the dishes that needed to be washed before I was to go on my break... Fine, fine. I can do my job without complaint. however, whilst half way done with the dishes, Tim, The head cook, asks me 'I thought you were done with the dishes already! Hurry up!' Despite the fact that it was he who restocked my pile of dirty dishes. Fine, whatever, I got them done, without complaint. I got my break, relaxed and pulled out my SP for the sake of a little meditation and mindless NPC weedle beat downs, and boy those little bastards didn't know what hit them. I encountered the small, sometimes awkward conversation "whatchaplay'n" That accompanies playing videogames in a semi-public setting, whereas Tim heard, and had to come up with some smart-ass wise crack about 'pokemans.' My entire two hours as a cook were a bitch, requiring lacerations, burns on the rather tender scar tissue on my arm, and several rants and raves on how if I want to work this job, I'm going to have to get on the ball and actively listen, and work harder. While I'm trying to ignore the little ##### and do such... Then I was made aware that I didn't cut enough tomatoes... I couldn't find the corer... It spent me a half an hour before finally being told to check the garbage... ... and what a swim I took... but I found that god damned corer... ... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Dragster on 4 August 2008, 23:46:19 Ouch, tough luck WW, my day has been as boring as any other, playing videogames and chatting on MSN.

Five hours. Heat exhaustion. Not used to it anymore. ;-; Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 9 August 2008, 05:08:24 Shenanigans up in projection today. Figures it had to be my first evening shift on a Friday, and my second Friday shift entirely.
Basically what happens when we stop showing a movie (in this case, Hancock) someone takes apart the print of the movie and moves the then-separated prints to a locker downstairs. Well, starting today, there was only one movie at Projector #8, and it was Hellboy. It should've been Hancock. Of course no one realized that it wasn't Hancock until Hellboy started playing, and everyone was all "WTF." So the guy who was working before me, assign name Ryan (I happen to hate his guts because of who he's going out with), had to put Hancock back together before the next show, and he did, but he screwed up in a few areas (understandable) and I ended up having to fix a few things. I STILL don't know if it's going to run properly, but I'm banking on yes because I put quite a bit of effort into fixing the errors. We actually... tape the pieces together, and on both sides, to make sure nothing sticky happens. On two parts that were taped, they were only taped on one side, which caused one showing of Hancock to stop twice in a row. But it wasn't a big deal, I just pulled apart the stickiness and started the thing up again. I imagine the people watching it were pissed, though. But yeah. No stress. It was just odd. By the by I don't ACTUALLY hate his guts, he just... scares me. And I'm worried about the girl, even though she seems happy. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 9 August 2008, 05:21:12 That sounds like fuuuun.
I hung out with my friend Hilary (I'm trying to see everyone before I head off to college). We played Rock Band Wii (not that bad), GH3, and Brawl. Then we sat around and looked through pictures, and stuff. Yeah, good times. Also, as my GH3 controller is broken, she let me trade the neck off of mine with one of theirs. THEY HAVE FOUR. Yes. 4. I don't know why, considering Guitar Hero is a two player game. Regardless, they are wealthy. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 10 August 2008, 17:38:22 Wooh! What a day yesterday! Me and Aaron went to China town and walked around, we went to a shop we visit regularly and found some Gundam models we had to get. We got them and on the way out signed a Death Note that they had at the store, like a guest book. We wrote a couple peoples deaths as following.
Zero Dies on Ragnarok Kamina Dies in a blaze of glory fighting Tymilph/ Yoko kisses him. Kittan Sacrifices himself to blow up the great dimensional waterfall/ Yoko kisses him. ur mom AIDS After that we somehow stopped at a DVD shop where we stumbled upon pr0n vids, the owners didn't care that we went down there. I wanted to take a pic of me in the adult section with a thumbs up for lulz. We left and went down some side street, where we found some graffiti on the wall that said "watch for UNDEAD children" which for some reason cracked us up. We wanted to take a pic.. I really wish I brought my camera that day! Anyway, we did some other stuff and eventually got some Reese Peanut Butter Blizzard's at Dairy Queen, they were so friggin' great (and we we're feeling great from something else if you catch my drift) It started raining like hell after that, so we went to McDonalds and ate some more. After that we headed home and Aaron was being too much of a pussy whipped jackass to let me in his home because his "parents are angry". We sat on his porch for a couple more hours and then I headed home. Overall, #####in' great day, wish I brought a camera. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I got a 92, and my Professor told me nice things and stuff about progress and the future and somethin' about success, and it was awesome. Then I had to walk home about a mile and half. It would've been easy if I was as fit as I was a while ago it would have been easy. But I've been laying around all Summer.

I have to take Psychology. I took that my senior year of high school, which was last year so I could've just said "last year." It was an AP class and if I had done well enough, it would've counted as college credit. However, it was a hard class and I ended up with a C. Not proud. My point, though, is that you have no idea how much you're going to learn from it. Psychology is a wonderful subject. You'll learn things about yourself, and others, and it'll change your perspective on life. I'm taking it again at college, even though it's hard. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Apparently there's only a picture of me while eating my lunch and a picture of the fat guy from Borat naked. Apparently it was made by this one dude I knew in High School named Steffen. It's pretty funny, I'm being cyber bullied by an obese emo kid who recently dumped his 32 year old, pedophile girlfriend who he got pregnant. Oh yeah, he also plays Yu-Gi-Oh and he dropped out of High School at the age of 19 with only 4 credits. Did I mention he's a fat emo kid? Oh yeah, now he's dating a 14 year old. Seriously, it's like pedos are vampires or somethin'. Haha, look at what I'm doing! I'm bullying someone where they'll probably never see it and if that person does see it they probably won't care. It's just pathetic. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 14 August 2008, 03:58:55 Yesterday was tons of fun. I went to visit some of my underclassmen friends while they were on their lunch break during their marching band practice, and it turns out one of my other friends had decided to do the same thing on a whim.
So, we hung out for a while afterwards, and picked up one of our other friends without alerting him beforehand. We basically roamed town doing whatever since it had been a while (like 10 days) since we'd all gotten together and hung out. We just had a lot of fun doing everything. Nothing is really worth describing, it was just a good day. Today I went shopping with my mom for college stuff, not so fun. Sort of fun, but this was like Part 2, all the lame random stuff and mainly clothes. Which, I bought a lot of. Tons of new green shirts. It's getting to the point where people are going to start thinking I'm wearing the same shirt everyday if they don't pay attention. Almost every shirt I have is green. Also, I was hanging out with a buddy today and on my way to his house to drop him off, a deer ran straight in front of my car and just stopped, but I had seen it a second early enough for me to be able to stop. So it just stood there and we were laughing thinking how lucky we were that I had seen it in time. But the #####ing deer just stood there for about a minute while we were laughing. Like, serious Deer-In-Headlights. Just staring. So I honked the horn and it #####ing FREAKED out. It was awesome. It like almost fell backwards off its hind legs and did a half-corkscrew, got up, and ran away scared #####less. Definitely made my night. Oh, I also bought Clerks and Clerks 2 for $10 each. Not Clerks X, sorry Mike. That was $20 and I'd rather get them both. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Yubi Shines on 14 August 2008, 12:15:56 I got a haircut yesterday.

It was hard to choose between the Green Monkeys and the Silver Snakes, but I knew in the end I'd go with the Green Monkeys. Plus, the Silver Snakes shirt is an awkward gray, and I can't resist adding another green shirt to my wardrobe. I also got another MegaMan shirt, the 8-bit black one that Capcom sells on their site. Don't really know why aside from my only other MegaMan shirt is too big and too old and too flashy. The "I Beat The 8 Master Robots!" one. Anyway, I've wanted a Hidden Temple shirt for years now. It's been a long-running joke of mine to introduce myself as follows: "Hi, you may have seen me on an old episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple where I was on the [Silver Snakes/Green Monkeys/Blue Barracudas] and won second place, and I got a box of Ring Pops as a prize." I didn't know it, but one of my closest friends believed me for over a year until I was talking about how I do that to people I meet sometimes. And then he was like "Wait... you weren't serious? I thought you were really on it!" I was going to order an EXTRA EXTRA SMALL Hidden Temple shirt and get it all dirty and old and enforce the joke a little more, but I'd rather have one I can just wear.

... Anyway on the Friday the 8th I broke my diet as there was cake waiting for me at the store. My assistant manager said for my birthday he'd get me the tackiest Native belt buckle he could find for my birthday when on his vacation. He gave it to me today, it's not awful. It's got two wolf heads on it and came with a black belt, which I need because I wear buckles and only had a brown and solid white belt that could use a buckle until now. Donno if the belt fits yet though. Saturday, the 9th, I woke up to find my mom, dad, and godmother cleaning up my room and moving all my ##### around. Thoroughly pissed off as I absolute hate people touching my stuff and this was a MAJOR invasion of privacy plus they were deciding what was garbage and what wasn't and were putting stuff willy nilly without concern for my feelings I took over the whole operation. Changed the room I sleep in completely around, and changed my other room (which is basically my office, with my drafting table and such) all around. Long day considering my plan was just to draw for Mittens And Crumplehorn all day. Sunday, the 10th. Birthday. I've postoned any celebration stuff until the 30th so I spent the day with my parents. We went shopping and went for dinner and it was nice they were both there. Watched a busker from Australia that I think I've seen before anyway, but we gave him money 'cause he was great. Afterwards I had a Dilly Bar from DQ. Before all that though, I brought the little TV downstairs and put it on the coffee table and played San Andreas while I watched Hook on the bigger TV. Awesome. Monday-wednesday. Worked, and used literally EVERY minute of my own free time to draw. Thursday, same thing but drew a bit less. Today I worked the store and drew one of the more complicated pages. I have only 4 pages left, which are a bit complicated, and then I'm done drawing and can get to colour. After that I have to take it to the printers. So I intend to do a bit of shopping possibly tomorrow but spend most of the weekend working on the book since it's really actually due tomorrow (I won't see her tomorrow anyway). Oh also, last night I cut my hair and have a sort of flat mohawk now. It doesn't look bad but I think I need the non mohawk parts to be shorter, so I might get a hair dresser to clean it all up tomorrow. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

(http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=shoebox_project&keyword=The+Fic&filter=all) I choose to believe it is entirely canon. Don't drink anything while reading part 9B. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 17 August 2008, 18:52:10 Some funny stuff happened in the last few days.
One was while my friends and I were hanging out at a local park: some 5-year-old kids were playing around and they started getting into a little verbal fight/argument and whatever, when suddenly one kid shouts "Shut up, you don't have a dad, he's dead!" And being the sick person I am that chooses to find humor in everything, I start cracking up uncontrollably and my friends quickly follow suit. As sad and horrible as that is, there's something magically hilarious about little kids yelling things like that at each other. I know it's wrong, I do, but oh god is it funny to me. Another noteworthy moment(s): one of my friends was having a late grad party yesterday, and there were a ton of little kids there, they were children of family friends and friends of his younger siblings. So, at one point, I kick all the little kids off the XBOX360 so I can play Burnout 3, which I found in a shelf and decided I definitely needed to play. So I'm playing Road Rage mode with a buddy and this 4-year-old wanted to play, so being the dick I am, I hand him the third controller that isn't even turned on. He actually thought he was playing, and was getting really into it. So, finally, his 7-year-old brother walks up, holding a DS and playing New Super Mario Bros. He tells his 4-year-old brother that HE wants to play. So my friend and I look at each other laughing, silently agreeing that this older kid is going to figure it out as soon as he gets the controller and then we'll have to give up one of our own actually-working ones to appease the children. I mean, this kid is playing Mario Bros, so he obviously has at least some sense of videogames. And he's 7 years old. So, I mean, come on? Right? He's not going to fall for it. Well, he wrestles the controller out of his brother's hands and starts "playing." He never realized he wasn't actually controlling anything. He's just like "Am I top or bottom screen?" He was getting really into it, too, saying "OH MAN YOU CRASHED ME INTO THE WALL" and stuff like that, and he really believed he was playing. So I decided that videogame companies can literally just sell games that really don't do anything, but are just a video of someone else doing a preset run or something, and strictly sell them to younger kids to occupy their time. Because these kids were having JUST as much fun as if they were actually playing. Yay for laughs at the expense of today's youth! Also, I've had a great last few days, and I hope it keeps getting better before I leave for college. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 17 August 2008, 20:25:24 Pollution.

Then I went out at night and I haven't been drinking in a while. A LOT of people I knew were at Zaphod's Beeblebrox and I spent the night moving from one group to the next. There were three groups; It was my friend Otto's birthday, a few more friends' birthdays, we were celebrating a whole list of things with another group of folks.
I got there before everyone and there was literally two other patrons in the whole place and the music was low. But I saved two bucks cover... yay... Anyway eventually people started showing up and I finally decided to try their Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster, which was pretty good though it mucks you up rather well if you don't have it as your first drink I'm sure. I might try their other "drinks from the edge of the universe" in the future. But with so many people I hadn't seen in a long time it was great. Note: It was all people I like and haven't seen in a long time, not people I just don't want to see in general, which happens way more often. But it was sick. I was like Mr. Popularity in there.

Posted on: 18 August 2008, 01:21:11 Ugh. Today. Today. Yesterday was great, the day before yesterday was great, and the day before the day before yesterday was great. Today, no. Today I did nothing. Usually nothing-days are nice after a few fun-filled days - I get to relax, lounge around, watch movies. I did a bit of that, but then I decided to be a bit more productive today. First I tried drawing more of The Simple Complex. I've mostly just been writing it until now, and just drawing doodles and ideas rather than the actual comic. I still can't decide how I'm going to actually draw it, either, so today was just a batch of different versions of the same first page. If I hadn't been holding the project so dear for so long, I'd say it was doomed already. Next up, I practiced some drumline stuff. For a lot longer than I planned. I've been putting it off and I need to memorize it all. So, lastly... and this is where the day got ugly... well... For the last 3 hours, I've been making an inventory of my DVD's in Excel. Every single DVD I own was entered in... along with the director, two actors in it, the year it was released, the genre, the amount of discs, and my own rating out of 10. For those wondering, I have 294 DVD discs. About 94 of those are TV show collections, which come in multiple discs, and a bulk of those are South Park (33 discs) and Seinfeld (also 33 discs). I almost feel like adding up the retail prices of all of them to see how much I've spent. It wouldn't be accurate because I buy most of them when they're on sale or via deals like Blockbuster's eternal 2/4 for $20 deals or bargain bins at Wal-Mart and Target. But I'm still curious. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 18 August 2008, 03:59:30 Buy another 6 to make it an even 300! And make your 300th DVD 300 if you don't have it already.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 18 August 2008, 04:04:19 I had 300 at one point but my brother lost the DVD so now all I have is an empty case.
I also have more DVD's than just what are in that case. I have things like all three Matrix movies laying around the house and for whatever reason I don't feel like assimilating them into my collection. And there are other DVD's that I don't watch as much so I leave them in a drawer for my family because I don't care about them. But yeah. I've been looking for 300 for a LONG time now and if I can't find it soon it's going back on the To-Buy list. I self-financed a huge part of my collection, and a lot of it is TV-shows, which are pricey and don't ever really steep down in price except for random sales. I know Best Buy lowers the prices of earlier seasons of shows when a new season comes out. Right now, every season of South Park is $25, and I paid $40 for most of them. This is why I haven't bought a Wii game since Brawl. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 18 August 2008, 04:27:45 Huh, the way you talked made it sound like you had a lot of movies.
My brother's collection beats yours, as he has 410 discs, 250 of which are movies. Basically, a local movie store went out of business. THEN, Augusta has a pawn shop, 9 DVDs for $15. He took advantage of that. His DVD cases fill up a bureau and a half. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 18 August 2008, 04:42:07 He beats me by just over a 100, and over 200 of mine are movies.
So, I'm doing very well considering there's no pawn shop around here and I was at military school when a nearby Blockbuster closed, though I'm assuming they just shipped all their DVD's to their other stores since they already have the lowest prices around here and can't go much lower. Either way, I only seriously started collecting DVD's two years ago. And I have a friend that beats both me and your brother combined, and it's sad because he never really watches movies, at least not multiple times... he just owns them. It's really his family, though, not him. But yeah. Five rooms in his house have walls FILLED with movies. We joke that he can open up a rental store, but then again he only has one copy of each movie. I don't know the exact number he owns but I promise it's above 800. Movies, not TV shows. The only TV show he has is The Simpsons, which he has every season of. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I also picked up some school supplies and some sharpies to paint my new Tallgeese model. Its painted and looks pretty snazy! I found a golden sharpie and was really happy, and painted my larger Tallgeeses crest with that.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 22 August 2008, 01:03:45 Today I started to pack up (I'm leaving tomorrow) when all of a sudden, I got a call from my drug-addicted, fat racist rapist, stealing and arsonist cousin. He called me from my best friend's house.
I immediately went there, despite my mom telling me not to, and called him out. See now, my friend doesn't want to be involved with this guy, and while his mom does feel sorry for him (he had a really hard life), she obviously didn't want him in the house either. She didn't know he was there at first (she was just coming home) and if it wasn't for her, he'd be on the ground right now (maybe, I don't know if he's stronger than me or not... but he always runs away in the middle of a fight). After that, she kicked him out. Needless to say, my last day here was nearly ruined. After that, his mom told me that she was proud that I stood up for her son. My friend is really nice and couldn't say no to him, and I'm afraid that after I'm gone, my cousin will hurt my friend somehow (he's not leaving for college this year)... I then said good-bye to his mom and her boyfriend because I wouldn't be seeing them anymore (until Christmas) and I also said good-bye to their dogs too. My friend is coming over tonight for our biggest Brawl matches yet. Then I'll say good-bye to him. Right now, I'm just helping my mom pack (I have some free time right now). Later tonight, I plan on playing more FF6. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 22 August 2008, 01:39:08 I did all my packing last minute.

I only have 4 books, that's cool I guess. My locker was in pretty good shape and didn't have gum stuck to it like it has in years past. Too bad the school totally messed up my schedule, I'm going to have to go out of my way to fix all of the mistakes. 'Cause I sure as hell didn't sign up to waste my time with marching band again. It's going to be weird going back to High School and being surrounded by stupid, incompetent people.

I've been out all day with what's left of my buddies since 2 in the afternoon. Just got back, it's 3AM here.
As much as I hate seeing my friends leave one by one by one, I'd much rather be here to say goodbye to all of them as they go, rather than leave while a lot of them are still there to have fun for a little bit longer. I'm still not the LAST one to leave, but I'm close. A few friends are staying at their homes and going to the community college, and some other friends aren't even graduated yet anyway.

The biggest cheque I've ever gotten. Same day (Wed) after work I went with Jess to see Death Race. Next day (Thurs) after work we shopping and I finally got sunglasses and a new messenger bag, both of which I needed desperately. Also saw some clothes I will probably have to very much buy.
Yesterday (Fri) I minded the store and we finally had copies of Watchmen that didn't disappear the day they came in (Wed) so I decided to buy one as I'll have an easier time getting through it again if I'm not at work. That night some friends from high school and I went out for the going away party of a guy (Leury) that I worked with at Market Fresh and that my friend Nelson did army jargon with. Leury's going to serve in Afghanistan for six months. Anyway I met his cousin there who is pretty cute and awesome and we hit it off and danced and talked a lot and Nelson danced with her friend, after the pub my friends went to Zak's and I stayed and talked with the girls more and then got them to come to Zak's too but I think Nelson said something when I was in the bathroom because they left when I came back. I forget why but it wasn't bad or anything. Doesn't matter anyway 'cause she lives in LA and I didn't want it to go anywhere really since I have complicated something else going on, obviously. She's just cool, you know? Like, it's not like I want(ed) anything to happen, it was just nice to have good conversation and hit it off like that with a stranger. I'm sure someone gets it and I feel very stupid writing this, hahaha hmm. So yeah. She told me to call Leury to find out where she was going tonight, which I didn't do. Because that's... Well. Just.. Ergh. But she also said to look her up when I'm in LA, which is cool. Today I did a bunch of ##### that isn't really worth talking about other than a lot of driving around the city and getting pissed off multiple times at ##### going on in Vanier (a ghetto populated by many french people, essentially).

So, tomorrow... I wake up early and go to college. It's like a Welcome Week sort of thing so classes don't start yet, but still. Tonight I hung out with my friends one last time for the summer. We had fun, and we went to see a movie but the only thing playing right then was Tropic Thunder, which half of us had already seen. "##### it." So we saw Tropic Thunder again.

I added a friend of hers that was also there that night who was a year behind me in like every school I've ever been to.

The late night menu is basically free of small foods. #2 is the Quarter Pounder #3 is the Double Quarter Pounder #4 is the Big N' Tasty (Cheese optional) #5 is the Crispy Ranch BLT #6 is the Crispy Club #7 is the Crispy Classic #8 is the Southern Style Chicken (Easily the most disgusting sandwich I EVER made) #9 is the Chicken Selects meal (comes in 3, 5, or 10) #10 is the Chicken Nugget meal (Comes in 6 or 10) Ugh, I hate that I know all this. But, the contents of all the combos, and which sandwiches they are, are clearly posted on the Drive-Thru sign. We also have the Late Night menu posted out there. And yet people seem to refuse to believe me when I tell them that's the Late Night menu, and even after I tell them, don't realize that it's just me at the drive through, and then someone on the grill. Those are the only people in the store between about 12 and 5. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 August 2008, 00:32:09 I don't work for McDonald's, but there's always gonna be those types of people out there. Don't know if I mentioned it before, but in a nutshell, I had an old lady in drive-thru that wanted a cheeseburger. When I asked her for what kind, she got frustrated, flipped me off, and drove away.
Some old men came into Wendy's one time and asked if we had eggs. Even though there's a Wafflehouse across the street, they refused to go in saying "It's too cold in there and a waitress has a cold". Now, I work at probably the only Wendy's in the state that doesn't serve breakfast, but even if we did... this was at 6:00 PM. We DEFINITELY aren't selling eggs, yet they were consistent. Even after we said "We don't serve eggs" for the 7th time, one of them asked "Not even one egg?" Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I also said "Check the IRECTORY for a map of the school. Of course, it used to be a DIRECTORY but someone knocked of the D."
Well, that got whatever hormones in his little system to run off. He was spouting immature crap and asking me where the "hot chicks" are. Oh yeah, and he agreed to most of what I said. "What do you do? You play PSP? Me too. You play Powered Up? Me too. What about Halo? You don't like it? Me either. How old are you? 18? Me too! Actually I'm 17, but I'm turning 18.

Thread Post by: ASR on 29 August 2008, 05:07:55 So far, college hasn't really STARTED yet, it's just welcome week. And I'm spending most of my time with the drumline, anyway. Wake up and start practice at 8:30AM and practice ENDS at 8:30PM.
Twelve hours of practice. We get two hour-and-a-half meal breaks, one for lunch and one for dinner. So there's a total of three hours worth of breaks. But the campus is huge so it takes like 15 minutes to get anywhere to eat, so that knocks off 30 minutes each break. Which amounts to a wasted hour. So, ten hours of practice. Tomorrow is the last full day. Despite all the time I'm putting into it, it's definitely tons of fun and the drumline is awesome. I've met tons of new people in the drumline and the band already, which is great because some of them are really cool and everyone is nice. I've fit in pretty nicely. Much more smoothly than the other rookies, at least. Which is fine, everyone has their own pace to fall into place. So far I've worn nothing but green shirts, which is #####ing awesome in my book. Oh, and I found out this girl who was in my orientation group way back in the end of last school year (it's a weekend you spend to get associated with the college) is also in the band, and we've been hanging out lately. Which is awesome because she was the only cool one in my orientation group and we hit it off really well there, and I figured I'd forget about her and maybe see her again and say "oh hey" and that'd be that. We're already acting like old friends, so that's fantastic. Classes start next week. Until then, more and more long days of drumline. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: Lunchebox on 31 August 2008, 11:50:23 Just got off the overnight shift.
Earlier on, we had some drunk guy refusing to move from the drive through, because we told him we were no longer serving Double Cheeseburgers then. He demanded a manager. Luckily, the manager from the store I usually work at (Torn down to be remodeled a few weeks ago, so I'm at a different location), was still there, and basically told him we weren't serving them anymore, so he could either leave, or wait for him to call the cops. Long story short, we called the cops, and until they arrived, he kept talking ##### to my manager, and he just said "Uh huh", until the cops came. It was funny. We had drunk kids, and people who complained about the wait time, and actually made the wait LONGER for the people behind them (Christ!). After 1am, it's just two people running the store, save for Saturdays and Fridays, where we get to have THREE people (yay!). So we got all the stuff that needed to get done, such as stock, changing the sweet teas and ice coffees, getting breakfast ready, etc etc. Fast forward to me starting my trek home, half asleep. Dude in his car pulls over to ask if I work at Market Basket, I tell him I work at McDonalds, and he asks if so and so works there still, and I tell him the whole thing about how I have actually only been at THIS McDonalds for a few weeks, and am actually from another McDonalds, and what a coincidence, he knows like, everyone from there blah blah. As it turns out he lives a block away from one of my managers (The one mentioned above), and in a startling turn of events, I leave about a block away from him too! So he offers me a lift home, and I, hesitantly, say yes, but only after asking him if he is a psycho killer, and he assures me he's not, and gives me a lift home. Had I been more awake, and had gotten a bad vibe from him, I would have said no, but I was dead tired, and he seemed pretty okay. We shoot the #####, introduce ourselves, and he drops me off. So it was weird but nice. I just wanted to get this all down before passing out, which I am going to go do now. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Yesterday I woke up early in the morning after about 5 hours of sleep and got a bunch of ##### together, filled up the car with gas ($40 >:[ ), washed the windows by hand, and THEN went through a car wash (there's a tree that saps all over the car all night and day in our spot, so washing the car is gruelling). Went and picked up Brian, Shawn, and Sonia, and then drove to New York state and went shopping. What is with the U.S. border that they can have FIVE lanes open and still be so backed up that we were in line for 45 minutes in blistering sun? That's so lame. Also the guy that checked out our stuff was really annoying. Not in the "super strict" sense, but in the "type way too #####ing slowly, ask questions that don't relate to any of this, and talk about stuff that doesn't relate to any of this, and generally be a total moron" sense. So it took way too long and we were behind schedule. Anyway we shopped and stuff. Ate at a Ponderosa's, which I'd never been to before. That was... interesting. Do all American restaurants give you a platter AND a buffet? That is far too much food for human beings... ... Anyway we left at like 4 and we had to be at TagZone (which is a tagball (like paintball but indoors. Woah, parenthesis in parenthesis?) we call by it's old name "Delerium" as that is way better) by 5. So I white knuckled and speeded the whole way back to Ottawa. Instead of bringing everyone home, we just went to straight to my house and I lent everyone destructible clothes and then we went to Delerium. Which was great, despite a load of stress I went through over it the past week and that day. 2 hours, too fun. My team (yellow/green) was the real winner even though we tied, because the other team (orange/red) had 2 kids (the only two players that weren't in my party) that cheated every game and didn't go out at all if they were shot, and if they weren't shot it's because they just hid in or around their bunker. Lame. Anyway in two of the games Guiseppe, Matthias, and I were on our own colourless team against the other two teams, and was cool. In the Doom Key game (I can't really explain right now) Shawn had the doom key for his team in the first game of it, and then in the second game (reverse of the first) I had the doom key and I got it in the enemy bunker, thus winning the game, but the refs called it a tie because it bounced back out. Whatever. After Delerium we all went home to shower up and get some energy back (Lime Crush helped me) and then I suited up (oh yeah I forgot to mention that I am the classiest so mean muggin' on my clean thuggin' means nothin') and then we all (well most of us) went out to The Drink. A club that plays actual hip hop, instead of techno-remixes or eurotracepoop like most other places in the city. It was dead when we got there but it got packed as ##### later and it was awesome despite the fact that some people left early and Shawn never suited up like he said he would. Didn't matter, others suited up too so it was cool. There was a really cute girl who danced near (and one point basically with us) that I kind of wanted to talk to but didn't. Really I just wanted to tell her something like "Not gay, but you have the best hair in the club" and leave it at that, but whatever. At one point she had like seven of the lamest dudes in the place all trying to dance with her and her friend and pick them up, which I found hilarious. Anyway, I was very tired today and all my muscles are seized up and it hurts to move at all. Gonna have to go to bed soon. At least tomorrow is Labour Day. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Yeah. I'm 300 lbs. Our winning group got $250 to Texas Roadhouse, which is a basic texas restaurant, throwing peanut shells on the ground and such. 6 people spent 141 dollars, and we TRIED to spend more but couldn't. My mom and girlfriend are coming up tomorrow and I'm gonna take them to lunch there. Then after we went there, we went and played in a McDonalds playplace. After we got back a bunch of students went bowling (free for Husson students), and I just got back. Going to a free sundae buffet in a few. I love college. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Anyway, tonight I went to my first real college party. I was gonna' go to one yesterday but the guy who was supposed to drive me ended up not going, so whatever. It was really fun, met a handful of new people and hung out with a few drumline kids I already knew and just had an all-around good time. I don't drink, so everyone was making a big deal about that. I had some good lines like "If I even so much as dip my finger in a beer and lick it, I sleep with a fat chick, pass out in a closet, and puke all over everything all at the exact same time." I also got some laughs when one kid going on a beer run asked what everyone wanted, so I told him to get me a root beer. So, yeah, just some fun stuff all around.

Sunday is supposed to be slow for overnight, but not tonight. We got hit. HARD. For like two hours straight. And it's hard to help everyone when there's only two of us, and most of the customers are drunk/high. I was harassed for free food, and cursed at when I wouldn't give them free food. Most of them had the intelligence to wait until AFTER they paid, and AFTER they got their food to insult me. One car had a girl and a guy, drunk and/or high, in the middle of the rush, and it went like this: "Yo, let me get some free fries, it's my birthday!" "No, I can't do that sir" The girl hands me the money, and just before I put it in the register... "LET ME GET SOME FREE FOOD, YOU PIECE OF #####!" I stop, hand the girl the money back, and tell them to have a good evening. A little later, while taking another order before the next car in a long line of cars pulls up, this mother #####er comes tapping at my window (Closed), and I shoo him off with a gesture. He then starts pounding on the window, calling me a #####, cursing at me, so I flip him off and tell to ##### off. He tries to open the window (Power window that can only be opened from the inside), so i tell him to ##### off, or I call the cops on his drunk ass. The car waiting honks her horn and the guy, finally, leaves. I also had some other bitchy customers who drunk and high. One guy wanted me to drink something (looked like urine), because we were both Jewish. I didn't drink it, and he showed me his star of David tattoo to prove he was Jewish (Yeeeeeeah). So, I ended up quitting. Not JUST because of tonight, but for a lot of long standing bull##### that's been going on that made me realize that, you know what? this ain't worth the ##### pay.

I sold Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 8, MegaMan X7, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes and a few others I can't remember. I made $42. (and I spent like $250 buying those games... geez.)

So... instead of fake gambling, I got greeted by a guy with his friend and his girlfriend and then we went to his girlfriend's room and offered me a beer. The beer is gross. We did nothing but watch stand-up (and you know I dislike stand-up) and then we went to the courtyard when the fake gambling was over. I did see David Blaine though.

I dislike stand-up because nothing really happens. I mean, sure, its funny at times but it tends to get redundant. I've never had beer before. I really don't want to try it again. And, well, he wasn't David Blaine. But he did some pretty cool card tricks. In one, half of the cards were flipped in the deck. He got someone to choose a card (ten of hearts). And then he spread the cards and the ten was the only one flipped up. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Another good thing is that the earliest class I have is at 9:30AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while it's 10AM on Mondays and Wednesdays. My roommate has classes as early as 7AM. Ha. All my classes are bunched up in the afternoon and end with marching band every day, so it's not that bad. From 6PM on, I'm free for the rest of every night.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, we go and watch a movie. Most if it is either stuff I haven't heard of before but sound interesting, movies I've wanted to see for a while (Citizen Kane, The Birds), or good movies that I don't mind seeing again (The Sixth Sense, Psycho.) And then on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we meet for 50 minutes and talk about it. I at least assumed there would be big writing assignments about what we thought of each movie. Nope. A grand total of three exams with 50 multiple choice questions each. And no final exam. ...in OTHER news... ...I had a #####ing fabulous idea. More on that later. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Also, I tried to install Google Chrome but it doesn't work for me, for whatever reason. It actually looks pretty cool. Every time I load it up, though, it spews error codes at me and nothing seems to work, so I just uninstall it again.

Apparently Irradiated even stole a can of Monster from WalMart just to give to him. Wow, he's never stolen anything for me, his best friend! Then guess what! FattyMcEmo##### decides to start talking ##### to me while throwing school supplies at me. Then he even comes at me with a pencil and stabs me in the arm, it didn't hurt at all, it still pissed me the ##### off. So, I pick up a few of the pencils he threw at me. Then I went around and came from behind him and began attempting to shove a few of the broken pencils into his nose or mouth. Suddenly FattyMcEmoBitch stands up and grabs my arm and starts twisting and pulling at it in attempt to hurt me. The whole time I was saying something along the lines of "What the ##### is this #####?", 'cause it really didn't hurt. So keep in mind #####tyMc#####PedophileEmoDick has about 2 feet and at least 80 somethin' pounds on me. Yeah, eventually after like half a minute of him randomly grabbing me in an attempt to hurt me he finally pushes me away. So then suddenly, all the people who I thought were my close friends, the people who I've spent entire weekends playing Rock Band with as well as a hell of a lot of other things, start pointing their fingers at me and telling me I'm wrong. That I'm totally out of line and being an asshole. So I basically felt pretty unwanted, so I got up and left. So, looks like it's time to get some friends who don't suck.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 4 September 2008, 16:09:36 Honestly, I'm having a hard time choosing who is luckier.
And ha, today, apparently my roommate was in the shower when I left for class, so I inadvertently locked him out of the room for over an hour. I get back and he's just wandering the hall in a t-shirt and a towel. I almost felt bad, but it was really funny. On another note, I started using this old notepad I've had laying around yesterday. You may or may not know I want to be a stand-up comedian. Now, like the loser I am, I've tried writing down material and organizing it and typing it up and writing it down and such... it really just doesn't work for me. Then I remembered something Larry David once said about Seinfeld and his own stand-up career. I think it was in the pilot for Curb Your Enthusiasm or a Seinfeld documentary thing. Basically, he just kept a notebook and jotted down things he thought were funny all throughout the day. It was just filled with disconnected rants and ramblings and two-word ideas that just grew over time. A LOT of the episodes he and Jerry wrote for Seinfeld came from ideas in that notebook, including one of my favorites, The Contest. So, I've tossed around the idea of using my own notebook for quite some time now. I started yesterday, and every day I mark the date, and put a "Word of the Day" up on the top, just for fun. Yesterday's word was "LABIA" and today's word is "URETHRA." It's definitely working out. It's also really fun to just jot down your thoughts as they come to you. Some notable entries: ---------------- - I bet caricature artists get nervous every time they have to draw a black guy. Ha. Racism. - I haven't beat off in 12 days. - Writing class doesn't seem so bad. She's letting us out early today. - Oh, mother#####er, she just gave us homework! Like, seriously, RIGHT after I compliment the class on not seeming so bad. Man, ##### her. - Dane Cook isn't funny. - The homework is that we have to write an argument paper about anything. - I'm going to argue that Dane Cook isn't funny. - I just took what I believe to be my loudest poop EVER. - Today I met two of the luckiest guys in the wo----- already posted that here. Nevermind. - I just saw an amazingly beautiful girl. I want to ##### her. ---------------- So, yeah, right now, it's just random thoughts, but the point is that it's an ongoing outlet for my thoughts, no matter how silly or irrelevant, and hopefully I'll amass things I can actually use in a routine. Of course, I've also got real ideas written out elsewhere, such as actual solid bits, but this is for just a general framework of random funny things to pull from at any later date. Like, I watched this documentary once, called "Comedian." It followed Jerry Seinfeld starting as a comedian again from scratch after he retired all his old material, and another guy named Orny Adams that was trying to become a famous comedian. Orny Adams was... like... too serious about being a comedian. I don't want to be like that. He was very desperate, he had an entire room filled with drawers and file cabinets stacked endlessly with jokes he'd written, and screenplays he'd submitted... things like that. Overly prepared. Overly set up. I'd like to maybe take a much more laid back approach if I'm going to take this sort of hobby seriously. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

If not, it's going to drive you insane with so much nothing to do. It really will. So be social.

And there, I made even MORE friends and it keeps snowballing and there are more outings and more hangouts and things are going fantastic and I've worn nothing but green shirts and that's what makes it all worth it. On that note, another party tonight. I still haven't drank any alchohol at all and I intend to keep that up. I think it'd be the greatest achievement of all to honestly say that I never drank any alchohol my entire freshmen year. And the longer I go without doing it, the more inclined I'll be to continue not doing it because of how long I've gone without doing it and so on so forth. I'm in a great mood right now.

Don't know what that means. - I REALLY like boobs. - People in this class think I'm weird because I just announced that I enjoy getting naked in public. - The guy sitting two seats to the right of me looks like the sort of loser who makes rash assumptions about other people just by looking at them.

The key is to ignore all looks you get and don't change any of your body language or behaviors as you walk in. If you act super-calm, super-confident, and super-indifferent while doing anything that breaks any taboo in society, people will usually just let it pass.

OK, maybe not that extreme. But I waited for a half an hour for the bus to Carlingwood Mall (Mikero probably knows where this is). During that wait, some guy asked me money for a ticket because he forgot his Wallet at home or something. He managed to squeeze 7 loonies out of me, but I did see him walking into the ticket office and walking out with a ticket in his hand. Still, I didn't feel good about myself. More confused than good. Anyway, I went on the 174, because that bus takes you to said mall. What I didn't know, was that this bus also goes south to the Nepean Centre. So, I waited for a half an hour as the bus took me back to the bus station. Again, I didn't know it also took me to Nepean; also meaning that it goes to Carlingwood AFTER going to Nepean. So, I waited for ANOTHER half hour for that same bus to return. And then I went and finally bought my game. That also took a half hour to do, so the bus came pretty much five minutes after I left the mall. I was late to class by a half an hour because of all of this. But yeah, now I have a better understanding on how the bus system works here. I'll make sure not to make the same mistake. And I have my game! Anyway, my "Mysterious Fruit Tablets" came in today. After my next class, I'm going to be on my way to tasting a sweet lemon. :D Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Spinach... Ehg. I could take or leave. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 19 September 2008, 05:55:08 I said vitamin water green tea.
It doesn't say how much sugar is in it, but the only sugar that's in it is can sugar. The citrus acid in it must be whats making it sweet though. Anyway, after I finished my spinach soup, I tried an orange. OMGWTFBBQ IT WAS SO GOD DAMN SWEAT THAT I COULDN'T HANDLE IT. Then I tried those crappy raspberries that I bought a while ago. They tasted so crappy that I haven't ate them since. But under this stuff... they taste like raspberries! Times three! I also tried Olives, but the garlic taste was the same... Chocolate was pretty much the same, but this cinnamon bun tastes like a layer of sugar was put on top of it. I mean, aside from the layer that's already there. Posted on: 19 September 2008, 00:36:27 A little more experimentation, Dill Pickles tasted like Sweat Pickles. Like, exactly. I tried some orange juice and that also exploded with sweetness; I couldn't finish one cup. Now I'm chewing some sweet and sour bubble gum; it tastes like sweet and extra sweet now. I'll try the orange juice again in an hour to see if the thing has wore off. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

It fell apart as the lift was being lowered, and nearly crushed my manager. The truck driver was bitching the whole time, and said he should've jumped in front of the falling pallet. You know so he could collect Worker's Comp. Other than that, an uneventful evening. EDIT: Oh, while I was putting stuff away in the cooler I DID happen to pass a cross dresser. I was passing him, this looks like a man in his fifties or sixties, decked out in the works, wig, make up, dress, stockings, etc. At first I thought it was a gigantic woman, then I noticed what looked like about 1 o'clock shadow (not as severe as 5 o'clock shadow).

Thread Post by: Mikero on 1 October 2008, 02:54:23 My alarm was turned off today and I woke up almost an hour late, had to rush to work and didn't get to shower. And I don't smell or anything but I need the daily shower to function. I barely got to work 5 minutes late, just on luck. Luckily I can be a half hour late and no one will care at all.
Anyway. 2 Saturdays ago I went to the Ottawa International Animation Festival 2008. Wasn't planning to go this year but my friends wanted to for the day so I got the day pass. Saw a lot of cool stuff, as usual, and went to a workshop about ReBoot with Rainmaker Studios (used to be Mainframe) which all a bunch of stuff I already knew and it went on way too long but ReBoot ruled so whatever. Anyway the main reason I went was to the party, as the festival's Saturday night party is the biggest one and is usually epic. I was planning to go home after this Disney-Pixar workshop, or after this Israeli film called "Waltz With Bashir" (which was awesome and I reccomend it) to put my bag and stuff at home so I wouldn't have to have them at the party but my friends were all "Nooo you'll miss Blue Toons!" which they didn't tell me about before hand. "Blue Toons" which a screening of a bunch of porno cartoons. I guess the idea was that it was supposed to be funny. Well. A few were funny. Namely some Snow White and Seven Dwarves thing (well, it wasn't really funny), these educational type things, and one called "Jack-Off and the beanstalk". HOWEVER there was a whole battery of NOT #####ING FUNNY ones that ranged from unnerving or just plain disturbing. I can't even begin to explain on MMM, and it didn't help they added in some japanese H clips that encompassed some of the most barfworthy "porn" I've ever seen in my life. I mean, I'm not squemish. I've seen 'Two Girls One Cup' and my reaction was only an eye flinch, but I left that place nauseous as did everyone else. We had to leave the place so they could put out food (which was the last thing on my mind) and re-check everyone's passes so that kids with volunteer passes would have to wait again. And then we got in and had drinks and it was cool, but my friend who's car we'd all left our stuff in decided to leave early so he brought us our stuff and then we were basically stuck unable to go dance or anything because we had bags and such. That was annoying. But it was alright in the end. Still trying to repress all the grossness of those clips though. You have no idea how... Ugh. Now if you're actually reading this post and you're this then wow, I didn't expect anyone to ever read this post! +some currency from Mikeropia. This past Saturday was Wawa's (pronounced Va-va) birthday party which I posted some of the pictures from. Wawa not pictured. It was all supposed to go down at 9 at this place called Lago in the Dow's Lake Pavillion. Konrad and I were supposed to get there kind of late but we ended up getting a ride so we were only like a half hour late. WELL no one else had even gotten there yet. We called Wawa and when we finally got him he said they were at Pub Italia and were heading over. OK. Well they had to wait in line for an hour and a half. We didn't have to wait in line when we were on time! Anyway they got in around 12 and from then on it was wicked. Lago was interesting, the actual place was pretty damn nice, which the patio looking out onto Dow's Lake (which is one end of the Rideau Canal) and everything was fancy. They raised drink prices once the DJ started though... But the funny thing was that all the other guys there were kind of older, and pretty gay looking (I mean like, the clothes, the hair, and especially these fake tans) and clearly had some money 'cause all the girls were really hot and very obviously gold diggers. Doesn't matter, it was good. Met some of the people that are going to the Boys Noize concert this COMING Saturday with us, and that's cool. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 October 2008, 01:41:37 So, today, I woke up and I was in a fantastic mood.
It was really fantastic. I cannot stress my fantastic mood enough. And it stuck. All day. So I'm feeling just very, very, very fantastic and I do not know why nor do I care why. Today was very cold and drumline practice was a bitch, but it's only gonna' get colder so whatever. I can suck it up, it doesn't really bother me. I just hate cold. I'd much prefer to sweat to death. Like, I really like wearing light clothes. I hate wearing winter jackets, and haven't done so for the past few years. I go through winter wearing jeans, a tee, and a sweatshirt. And I'm a small guy, with little meat on my bones, so I get cold quiiiiick. So the combination isn't that great. Also, I can't ride my scooter in the winter. Which reminds me! I was riding my scooter yesterday and the front wheel popped off! It was awesome and horrible at the same time! There were sparks as the metal hit the pavement and I was flung off, and the wheel just kind of rolled away while I sat there dumbfounded and amazed that, yes, that actually just happened. A #####-ton of people saw it, too, but it was awesome and I seem to be immortal when it comes to freak accidents like that so I just got up and laughed, gathered up the wheel, and carried the scooter back to my dorm. WHICH ALSO REMINDS. I bought this cheaply made sweatshirt that is actually really awesome but definitely for kids but still awesome, and it's basically just a black sweatshirt with a skeleton's body traced over where yours would be, and you zip it up, and then you can zip the hood over your face and there are netted eyeholes and it's like a skull mask but not really. It's like. I'm a skeleton. And when people see a skeleton riding a scooter around campus, well, that's just awesome. Except it's really hard to keep the eyeholes steady so I decided against wearing said sweatshirt anymore since said eyeholes may or may not have contributed to said wheel popping off. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 2 October 2008, 01:55:12 They make sweatshirts like that for adults, but I doubt there's the face part.
I'm completely opposite when it comes to temperature. I never get as cold as others but I get hot really fast and stay that way longer and I just hate the heat. The weather today was almost perfect in temperature but my jacket was a little warm and I'd like to see my breath a bit. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 2 October 2008, 02:34:08 I HATE THE WARMTH. I REJECT THE LIGHT. I EMBRACE THE COLDEST WINTER BREEZE.
I sometimes jump over chairs when cleaning theatres to make things move faster. I totally slipped one day though and took the back of a seat into my gut. Didn't hurt as much as you'd think. Or maybe it did and I just recovered really well. I have no idea what I'm made of sometimes. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

#####, half of the day isn't even over yet. I basically walked for 3 straight hours in downtown Ottawa, playing the amazing race with some people at residence here. There were only two teams, mine, and the other. We were winning, we were about a half an hour ahead. Then ##### happened. The other team started doing things in the wrong order, skipped a few stations and used a vehicle to get to the war museum. We walked for a half an hour to get there. Needless to say, we lost. I don't know how, but we lost. But... we're still getting free prizes, and I won my section (brown) a lot of points for doing this, since no one else in our section came. Then on the way home to residence, the Red Bull car stopped in front of us, gave us red bulls, took a picture of us, and went on their way. Now I'm eating delicious meat pie because I haven't ate since I got up, and I'm dipping my feet in hot, salty water because they hurt. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 5 October 2008, 00:34:40 lol I'm pretty sore from playing Capture the Flag after hours at the Cineplex last night. We played by putting the flag on a seat in a random auditorium on our side, and they'd hide theirs in the same way.
Hmm... I was complimented for how fast I run, which surprised me because I don't exercise very often. I suppose I do exercise more than the average person, but I don't make it a regular thing and I rarely push myself. And I'm really not agile at all, which slowed me down whenever I needed to swerve and stuff, but that went for almost everyone else. Though I chased a guy on the other team all the way through one auditorium and back to his side and he was DEAD after that. And I was in pain because of Crohn's symptoms, so I guess I didn't do badly even though I sucked, if that makes sense. It was fun. I was just kind of tired. Everyone else was in the lounge playing Rock Band. It's a HUGE hassle to make it work in an auditorium, if at all, but other video games can easily work if the controllers are wireless. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 5 October 2008, 01:57:40 Needless to say, we lost. I don't know how, but we lost.

Thread Post by: ASR on 5 October 2008, 22:14:22 Okay, so I haven't posted in here about my day in a while.
Things have been going fantastic. A couple weekends ago, I went up to Northern Michigan for the weekend with some friends. He lives like 10 minutes away from where my family has a condo up there. So, it turns out my family had gone up that weekend, so I got to see them, too. And then this weekend, we had our homecoming football game. The campus stadium was more full than it had ever been so far. The football team won, I performed with the marching band as usual, and it was great. Got really into the school spirit yesterday. And now I'm so tired that I haven't really even left my room today except to eat. Anyway, almost nightly for the last three weeks, we have like six or seven other people in our room to watch stand-up comedy, movies, or TV-shows. I got everyone into Weeds, but I got them into it while I was watching the 3rd season. So, when we finished, I downloaded Season 4 online. I was so excited to watch it, but then everyone decided they wanted me to start over the entire series for them. So, right now we're all the way back to Disc 2 of Season 2. And then we're probably going to have to rewatch the last few episodes of Season 3 that this one girl missed. I've held off watching Season 4 on my own because I'm just gonna' have to watch it again later, but I'm about to give in and watch some. Maybe. Or I'll just watch some stand-up DVD's I haven't watched yet. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Rama Olendris on 6 October 2008, 15:39:44 My weekend was pretty nice. I finally bought some new clothes and some goodies for my computer.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 6 October 2008, 20:47:45 Today was a regular ##### Monday. I was really tired during 1st period though, like "I've never been this tired during school." tired. 2nd period math class I told the teach straight up that I would be sleeping the entire period and won't be awake to give a ##### about what we're learning today. So I slept, and woke up about 10 after 11, the bell rings at 11, so I was in the middle of an entirely different class for 10 minutes. I woke up dumbfounded, and walked out as if nothing happened.
Good sleep though! Felt great the rest of the day. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 6 October 2008, 20:50:18 Ha, reminds me of something that happened to one of my father's friends in high school.
Except that guy slept through lunch. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 6 October 2008, 22:42:34 Right.
So as I probably stated a trillion times Saturday night was the Boys Noize and A-Trak concert in Montreal. With Jess gone to England forever and my grandpa up last weekend basically making it so that I couldn't do or say ANYTHING without it being somehow rude or wrong or whatever, this show was the only thing I've been the least bit excited for in MONTHS. I loathed the prospect of my birthday, I was completely depressed with everyone starting school, and you can imagine the rampage of evermoodiness I went through with Jess leaving. Well. We were possibly going to leave for Montreal on Friday night and just stay up partying the whole time and then come back after the concert or something. Didn't happen. I talked to Konrad that night it went kind of like this; Konrad: "We're probably not going tonight." Mike: "OK let me know when you know when we'll leave." Konrad: "I will." He didn't. I waited around all #####ing day on Saturday and got NO word from anyone about anything. Not Konrad, not Wawa, no one. Konrad had just moved that week and doesn't have a cell so I couldn't even call him myself. Anyway I waited around like a #####ing chump until it was too late to even leave Ottawa for Montreal and still make the concert (2 hour drive). Not only did I not get told anything that night, but no one has talked to me since then so I don't even know what happened and there's no #####ing way I'm gonna be the one to initiate that conversation. I don't even know if they went or not. So since I had made no other plans as that show was gonna take up the bulk of my weekend, I did #####ing nothing all weekend when I have 1000 better things to do. And #####, they invited me and got me hyped for it. It's not like I asked to come in the first damn place so you can understand I'm rather #####ing pissed. I waited to post this until I found out what actually happened but it looks like I can keep dreaming on that end. And I didn't get enough sleep and today is monday so I basically just got in from work and I'm hungry and I'm tired and I have to piss and I want to fight all my #####ing #####heel "friends" who, if they went without me, just reaffirmed my belief that they're all for self. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 7 October 2008, 00:21:19 Man, that blows.
I know what it's like for everything to just be going downhill for a while but I've been through it enough to know that when everything rights itself again, it's all worth it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 7 October 2008, 00:34:26 That sucks Mike. Hopefully they didn't ditch you for anything, and I really hope they didn't. I'd hate it if any of my friends ##### with me.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 7 October 2008, 01:40:20 So.... my art class lasted for 20 minutes.
Its supposed to be a three hour class. I also have no English class tomorrow because the teacher has a "family crisis" (or so Blackboard says). And then I have no classes next Monday because of Thanksgiving (but I won't be able to spend that with Family...). So, yay me? Also, Mike, that sucks. That's all I can really say. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 7 October 2008, 03:37:01 I just found out from someone who wasn't even involved at all that Wawa flaked.

Every actor had an instrument, as well as their lines and stage directions and such, and so the music was being played by everyone while at the same time people would be acting... very interesting way to do it. Lots of skill required, and they faltered only once; this was in the "priest" song where they cracked up for a solid thirty seconds and then recovered like lightning. I really needed that after the horrible conversion the play suffered into that crappy movie. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: ASR on 9 October 2008, 06:35:49 Whether or not you're being serious or even half-serious, Daniel Tosh is a fantastic comedian that for whatever reason I really seem to like.

Thread Post by: Mikero on 9 October 2008, 22:20:17 That's ass, but there's still a couple days man, something might work out. OH make a poster on the computer for it and print it off and then put it up in res and then even if no one you know goes people from your res will be there.
Got to work in the office all day on the computer instead of the usual. Doing stuff with all over British Columbia, so I learned about a lot of it's districts, regions, cities, and all that crap. OK you all probably know I make fun of BC (well, Vancouver really) and Toronto people in similar ways, with how they think the city they were born in is the best place in the universe. Now, I am just joking when I do that even though it's not exactly untrue. Anyway I was on the website for Nanaimo today, and I was SUPPOSED to be getting the Mayor's information, but I saw a button that said something along the lines of "Looking for Nanaimo bars?" and I thought something very much like "##### yes I am!" and I clicked away, and this caught my eye and I thought it was funny; The Legendary Nanaimo Bar According to local legend about 35 years ago, a Nanaimo housewife entered her recipe for chocolate squares in a magazine contest. In a burst of civic pride, she chose to dub the entry not "Daphne's Delights" or "Mary's Munchies", but "Nanaimo Bars". The entry won a prize, thereby publishing the town as much as her cooking. Some American tourists claim sovereignty over the dessert, referred to as "New York Slice" which is sold in many other places in the world. Nanaimo residents refuse to accept this theory, however, believing that once you set foot on Vancouver Island, there are no other places in the world. While I agree that they are called Nanaimo Bars and not that other gayosity, that just made me chortle on my 7Up, since right before that I was looking at other small BC villages that boasted things like "Canada's Hotspot" and such even though me and everyone else in the country and mulitverse has never heard of them. Anyway the best part is my mom left for a vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC today so house to myselllllf for days and days and days! Braap braap! Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

The halls are very quiet, everyone must have gone home for Thanksgiving.

The guy who opened for him, Jasper Redd, he was pretty funny, too. I've seen him on Comedy Central before, I think it was on one of Patton Oswalt's Comedians of Comedy specials. I like the way he talks. I almost went to see Dave Chappelle live once, but ended up not going. This was like, RIGHT before he split to Africa. I also almost went to see Demetri Martin last year, but we had some party that night. Basically, I'm just glad that I got to see Daniel Tosh because I've actually been really into him lately. Like, I have different swings where I seem to prefer one comedian over others, and this lined up perfectly. Who's that kid with Daniel Tosh in the first picture? The coolest guy you'll ever meet. Promise. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 12 October 2008, 07:49:26 He wrote "I'm sorry" because it's just a funny thing to autograph I think. Almost like an apology letter. And people will ask why he's sorry, and that's funny.
Who signed the ticket with a B? Beethoven? Bea Arthur? Beatrix Kiddo? The Beatles? The Land BEfore Time? Zaphod Beeblebrox? Hepatitis B? Beatport? Bee Movie? B.M.? Beads? Brighton beach? The Beets? The Bee Gees? Bebo? Beer pong? Beatrice Potter? Beyonce? Bun B UGK? Warren Beaty? Almost all new material, and all of it funny. Heath Ledger's suicide note: "10 Things I Hate About Me."

So, today, we did this activity where there was a list of people on a boat. There was an explosion on the boat and it starts sinking, and only 6 of them could fit on the life boat. We had to pick which 6 deserved to be on the lifeboat. Some options included a pregnant Japanese lady, her accountant husband, an Arab diplomat, a famous Hollywood actress, a Swedish bio-chemist, a Brazillian athlete, an old rabbi, etc. I was having the time of my life playing devil's advocate the whole time. I was saying things like, "Oh, we can't pick the Arab diplomat, he's probably the one who caused the explosion." And "That Hollywood actress is a vapid whore. I saw her in a couple of her movies, all rubbish. But she's hot, so let's take her." "Gotta' take the preggerz one, that's a twofer." "We can leave the Brazillian athlete, he's black." "The Rabbi probably owns the boat and has it insured through the roof so we should take him so at least someone benefits from this whole thing. Though, does he really need any more money?" And I didn't get in trouble at all. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 14 October 2008, 19:09:47 Jeezum.

I was going to go out to the Navy base and apply at one of the contractors.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: saldite on 15 October 2008, 00:23:19 Spent most of the day with my girlfriend."With a transmitter that close, this kind of thing isn't uncommon. Sometimes repositioning wires can help. Other times, it can help to make sure that every piece of electronics involved with the computer is grounded to the same point (i.e. running three prong cables and all to the same outlet). Usually it's the house wiring acting as an antenna. If you've got a walmart type power supply (with the typical two prong plug that can't be grounded) on the speakers, and also have a UPS, try plugging the speakers into the UPS. A third option is to hunt around for some RF chokes that can clamp right on the cabling for the line feed from the computer to the speakers. These are similar to the cylindrical lump you often see on a monitor cable. Hunt at a big electronics supply house. Maybe you'll find something that's small enough to fit on the cable." ...Hope that helps... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 15 October 2008, 00:40:44 A UPS?

Thread Post by: saldite on 15 October 2008, 00:42:54 An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), also known as a continuous power supply (CPS) or a battery backup is a device which maintains a continuous supply of electric power to connected equipment by supplying power from a separate source when utility power is not available.
It differs from an auxiliary power supply or standby generator, which does not provide instant protection from a momentary power interruption. A UPS, however, can be used to provide uninterrupted power to equipment for 1–20 minutes until a generator can be turned on or utility power is restored. Integrated systems that have UPS and standby generator components are often referred to as emergency power systems. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Get the ##### out of my house. It is a nice language, but I prefer anything with curly braces over that mess. Perl is a great language of the Python class, although you can't actually compile the code. Still runs faster than most interpreted languages, though. (Personally, starting with OOP will not ruin you; it's actually easier to start with OOP rather than an imperative language since you can introduce core programming concepts without really needing to introduce all of the under-workings).

However, this time, he's letting us work on it during the last hour of class (usually he gives it to us at the end of class).
Anyway, this time the assignment was 100% easier than that damn dice thing. I couldn't believe how much easier it was. It's a program where you have to guess a number between 1 to 100. The only difference was that this time we had to have used a function because we didn't learn about them yet. Anyway, I started programming it and didn't test it until everything was done. I was surprised to see that the only errors I got was from putting a semi-colon in places where they shouldn't be. And one time where I didn't put in a semi-colon. So, I was the third one to finish. And at the end of the class only seven people (out of forty-one) finished. And it executes beautifully. I'll be expecting yet another 100% from that one. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 17 October 2008, 17:17:43 It is a nice language, but I prefer anything with curly braces over that mess. ... mmm. Curly Brace. Who writes the programming that let's you guys program? And how does THAT work? *opens a new can of worms* WARNING! SCIENCE CONTENT [spoiler] OK, so first of all we have to build a machine capable of accepting/rejecting Turing-level languages. The most common type uses binary input/output and is structured according to the architecture described by John von Neumann. This is one type of computer, and it's generally programmable. In addition, programs and data are stored in the same location. Thus, programs are just data, and data can be "looked at" as a program. The machine's processor contains circuits that can perform basic logical comparisons, arithmetic functions and some basic I/O functions (such as getting input from a keyboard or sending things to RAM or what have you). Generally there is a way to store information in the long term on these machines, and most of them will read from a specific set of permanent data stored in ROM (sometimes a bootstrapping program will also load an operating system). This will set up the machine for use by humans. Once a human can use the computer, they can input machine code to have it perform functions. If machine code is stored on the machine's temporary or permanent memory, it can be recalled and run automatically by the machine as if it was a series of input commands by the user. This is a program. Some programs, especially useful in an environment controlled by an OS, use a complex series of algorithms to read in words typed by a human and translate them into something understandable by the computer. These are complex programs that employ lexical analyzers, parsers and translators to read a specifically defined set of words and convert them into a specifically defined set of machine code. They are called compilers. There are also programs that go the extra step and will execute code immediately after compiling portions of it, and these are called interpreters. When one of these programs exists, someone can then type a program into the machine that can be converted by the compiler/interpreter and then run on the machine. The skill required to write a compiler is fairly great, and typically reserved for Master level courses, but Bachelor level courses generally run through lexical analysis and text parsing, since it is a fundamental tool used to understand computer theory. However, anyone with enough patience can learn the skill on their own, as with anything. [/spoiler] tl;dr Programmers write the programming that lets us program, and it works because the machines are built that way. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 18 October 2008, 01:49:45 WOW.
So today starts, I have a calc test I have to take at 7. It's the 6th month anniversary of my girlfriend and I. Football bus leaves for New York at 10. We get at out hotel (which is actually in Connecticut) at 6. Eat, meetings blah blah blah. THEN, it got interesting. The team goes to get on the elevators. I'm going to floor 6 with some other guys. The door opens, nobody is inside, and there are no lights. The hotel is still partially under construction so we thing nothing of the lights being out and think it'll be a fun time. We press the buttons for the 6th and 7th floors. We stop on the 10th (top) level. Skipped 6th and 7th. Whatever, no problem, back down in the same elevator to those floors. Riding in a dark elevator is fun! So I think it'll be funny to go all the way back to the ground floor and stand dead center of the elevator (no lights) to get a laugh out of some of the football guys for me being so creepy. It worked. So another 6 guys pile on, a little more tentative about no light then than first group. We select floors 6 and 7. I tell them that it might go up to floor 10 for no reason. They're like 'yeah, psh, whatever.' It almost does. Problem was, it stopped with about 70% on the 9th floor and 25% on the tenth (space between floors mind you). Only the 10th floor door opened, and some guy was cleaning up there. He shat some bricks when he saw an elevator only partially up the shaft, and ran to another guy down the hall. So they're standing there dumbfounded while we're standing there like WTF do we do? Our main concern was the elevator moving while we'd be climbing out. After about 10 minutes some other guys show up and go around and lock the elevator in place, so we CAN climb out. We all climb our way through that foot and a half gap and stand there. Mainly just talk about how cool that was. Then we take the stairs down to our floors. Now here I am. tl;dr I got stuck in an elevator. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

It's not a halloween party. I think it would be pretty fun, as long as you're not over obsessing about it. But then my better judgment kicks in. Fauxrientals make me hate myself for liking Pocky.

People on campus write on the sidewalk and ground and courtyard areas with chalk all the time, to advertise upcoming events like movies they're showing or just to make statements or let you know about groups and clubs.
Well, lately there's a bunch of "Vote Obama" or "Vote McCain" chalk drawings. On the way to an exam the other morning, I noticed at least 20 variations of "Vote McCain," and most of them were all in one area. On the way BACK from the exam, it was clear that somebody had gone and "fixed" all of these scrawlings by adding in words like "Don't" in front of "Vote McCain" and such. So, today, I go out and see something pretty funny. There's a place where it just says "Don't Not Not Not Not Vote for Not Not McCain in Not '08" or something to that effect. And lastly, I found some chalk of my own and wrote "Toy Story 2 was okay" nearby. Also "Vote McCain/Fey."

I'm gonna have a new computer at work when I get there on monday, which'll be cool. In Quebec, there's a lot of different kinds of first nations people and areas and stuff. And my last pile of work (which my boss, as was leaving, said that when I finished I could just go home instead of finding more work for the day) had to do with them. I really like all the aboriginal names of places and stuff, but when you're typing it gets really annoying trying to write words like "Kangiqsualujjuaq" and "Umiujaq" (yes, those are real) so it was weird. On the plus side most of these places have postal codes that are like "J0Y1X0" and "J0Y3B0" which I pretend says "Joy" and has a little funny face next to it. And there's place called "Quaqtaq" which I read as "Quack attack" and loved it. Also in Quebec there's some (but not most, as they are mostly in north New Brunswick) Acadian towns. Acadians, in a nutshell, are another type of french people that live in Canada and tend to act like they're better french people than the Quebecois when really France doesn't want either of them back so they can both stop talking about better they are than the other. But it was weird because all of a sudden I've have to do something with a place Lebel-sur-Quévillon and I've to change my entire way of thinking to start spelling in french.

I got it either late Freshman year or early Sophomore year, whenever it came out. It's almost never not on my person.

My current player, a lovely little Creative ZEN that is as sturdy as a brick (and therefore more suitable for klutz Fatso who drops ##### all over the place than an iPod), has a little bit of that battery-meter unreliability, but not NEARLY to the same extent as the iPod did.

Thread Post by: ASR on 24 October 2008, 19:42:32 So, last night I had to go see some play with my First Year Experience class. It's basically a blow-off class for Freshmen to take that sort of gets you used to college life. They try to get you to go some events on campus, so the teacher arranged that we all go to see this play the drama department was putting on.
I was kind of mad because there was other stuff I wanted to do last night, but holy #####. That was a REALLY good play. It was called "Our Lady of 121st Street" so I was expecting absolutely nothing worthy of my time. It turned out to be really great, and the actors were REALLY good to boot. Someone was even playing a mentally handicapped character, which is something I've never gotten to see live, and ever since Tropic Thunder can't normally take seriously. There were also two gay characters and some male-male saliva exchanges, but I'm assuming they're both gay in real life, anyway. It's a solid assumption. What impressed me was how great the play was with blending comedy and drama. Because it was actually really funny, but whoever wrote it had a GREAT understanding of how to use the comedy to build up to a really dramatic moment and switch between both seamlessly. It was really a great play. I only care so much because I was expecting a waste of a night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 25 October 2008, 01:39:50 When I was in university I usually took the time to go see plays when I could.
They were free admission for students, so I figured why not. Never had a wasted evening like that. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 25 October 2008, 01:51:52 I usually have stuff going on every night anyway, but if students got in free I'd probably go to a couple more.
Yeah, they made us pay. Even when it was mandatory for a class. We get into pretty much everything else for free, though. All sporting events, and anything at Miller Auditorium, which brings in big shows like Last Comic Standing and Video Games Live. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Yesterday was crazy bad. Well, not bad. Just crazy tough. Woke up at 7:30 and put on my heavy bass drum at 8. I essentially didn't take it off until 11PM. Full day of marching band practice and two shows to perform. In the freezing cold. I'm so sore and tired today. Went to bed at midnight and woke up at noon. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 October 2008, 17:05:45 My top ones fit but they weren't moving anyway so I got them all out. I had like no bad reaction at all because I'm wicked like that.
On friday I hung out with my friend Richard and his friend Jordan and that guy's girlfriend Michelle. Was cool, and I was full of jokes and stories that kept them all laughing. We drank sommat, had some hookah, and played Catan which I thought was going to be the lamest thing ever but it's actually pretty fun. Yesterday I saw Feist at the NAC with my friend Robbie. Was awesome. She was better than album quality live which was great since we'd heard she was weak live, but no. Good opening band too but they never said their name... Anyway it was sweet. On the way home I was sitting on the bus next to really good looking girl in a purply dress and people kept hitting on her and it was hilarious. This really drunk guy tried but I guess gave up, he was drunk enough to be trying to talk to her and the old women across from her... And then this "British" guy came on and was trying. I didn't see how it played out in the end because our stop came but I was pretty sure he wasn't really Brit or at least wasn't as ignorant as he was pretending because he was asking the most typical/cliché questions like "Football is called something else here right?" and stuff about how much snow there is and saying it's cheaper to live here than there which is all stuff he'd have known if he'd ever watched a television. Seemed kind of fake to me, but he also looked dumb anyway so he might have just been that. Now I'm going Hallows shopping. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

On my way home from work at about 1AM saturday morning I got mugged by the most pathetic criminal you ever saw. Seriously, I was at least a little scared by him while he was merely threatening force, but then once I'd stared him down for a bit he actually swung and I was no longer afraid of him at all. I ended up just emptying my pocket ($4, WOW THAT WAS REALLY WORTH CONFRONTING ME FOR WHEN I ALREADY OFFERED YOU $2 OUT OF SHEER KINDNESS) for him because I'd just finished a seven-and-a-half-hour shift without break and there was another hour of walking ahead of me, and I really wasn't in the right mood to kick his ass. The only damage he did to me was a bit to my lungs from the cigarette smoke he blew in my face, and the thing that pissed me off the most was that he broke my Slurpee straw. Cut to Saturday night, when I was SUPPOSED to be at the Lions game watching my sister's choir PERFORM THE #####ING NATIONAL ANTHEM but through some #####ing miscommunication I was still scheduled to work. At least I wasn't mugged again. Tonight it turns out I missed my cousin's 7th birthday party, again for work. #####. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 1 November 2008, 03:40:21 Good Halloween's all-around, then?
I didn't do much tonight except hang out with some people, I was gonna' go to another party but I'm not feeling too hot tonight, and we have a marching band show early tomorrow. So anyway, I hit it off pretty well with this one girl last night who recognized my costume and started talking to me about how great Shaun of the Dead is. We talked for a good chunk of time before she left with her friends, and it was nice. Hung out with her again today by chance and it was also nice. At the very least I've found a great new friend, and those are always very welcome. Also, been playing a lot of Rock Band 2, but we only have one controller from GH3 for the 360, because I left all my Rock Band instruments at home. It's tough to share one controller. But tomorrow my parents are stopping by for the day, and they're bringing up not only the Rock Band instruments, but a couch. Very much anticipating the couch. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: ASR on 1 November 2008, 04:02:44 My dorm room has a tile floor, but we bought a rug.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 1 November 2008, 08:56:56 Good Halloween's all-around, then? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAHAHADHSFHJASLFhsajlkfhaskjf hasd No. I mean, mine wasn't bad but man... For the first half of this day, I went around the city looking for the complete set of Guitar Hero World Tour. There were Rock Band 2s all over the place but NO FREAKING GHWT Apparently, us Canadians don't have the full set. Just the normal Guitar Only one which I gave in and bought. I'll buy the other stuff when it becomes separate. I played it for about an hour... after that I went to my friend's room. Played Rock Band 2 for several hours. I mean it, we took turns switching between 7 people to play the game. And then more people came and went and also played. God, it was fun... At some point we went for a quick Trick-Or-Treating. I didn't have a costume but I went anyway and got candies from the RAs anyway (one of them gave us condoms which will, frankly, expire for me before I ever get to use it). Then we went back to the room and played MORE Rock Band 2. Oh yeah, two of the people in the room are RAs. We also had alcohol bottles in the room, and they did not care even though they have to enforce the "No-Alcohol" rule. They're pretty cool. Anyway, sometime at about 11PM, two guys started fake fighting, y'know, just to have a little fun. The smaller guy grabbed the bigger guy and then the bigger guy basically jumped to get away from the grab. And then the smaller guy fell and broke his wrist. The guy who's pretty much the leader of the group, Jon, took him to a hospital. An hour later, he called saying that they will be three hours before they can get back. He also asked if it was possible that one of us could go to the hospital and give him one of his books that he's reading, and hanged up. Now, he said "to the hospital." There's three hospitals in this city. We had no idea which one it was... but I decided anyway to find that hospital. Luckily another guy said he would go with me. We took a bus to the closest hospital, about twenty minutes of driving. Took the last bus to get to it. He wasn't there. We were at the wrong hospital. Took a cab to get back. And well... that took us two hours to do all of that. It was only five sentences but those five sentences lasted two hours. We finally got back to residence, pissed off that we didn't go to the right hospital but at the same time didn't want to waste more time going to the other hospitals (it was 2:30AM, damn it!). Played some more Rock Band 2 with the few remaining friends and then watched Ghost Ship (which was meh... had some interesting death scenes though). In the middle of Ghost Ship, Jon got back saying that it'll be another 2 hours before the guy who got hurt can be checked out. We explained to him that we tried to find the hospital but failed. He understood but man, he was wanted to get drunk and play Rock Band 2 but now he's volunteering to keep his friend company. He's probably still there as I type this. So yeah, good night gone crazy gone frustrating (for me and the guy who went with me, anyway) and got meh. I actually mixed some vodka into my ice tea because frankly, I needed it. Didn't taste too half bad, but I won't be doing that again unless something else crazy happens. So... not the best Halloween night I had. But definitely the most rememberable. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 1 November 2008, 10:47:11 Haha, sounds good enough. Funny, my friends and I are were just talking about Ghost Ship yesterday. Specifically the wire-across-the-ballroom death scene. That's the only good part of the movie, for the record.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 1 November 2008, 13:01:44 That sounds like fun, save for the wrist breaking.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 1 November 2008, 14:42:34 Mine didn't start out great either. I was in a great deal of pain from morning to 2 O'clock due to my back. It was like I went from 19 to 90 overnight.
I finally took some pain reliever, and it started to get better afterwards, and I went to a carnival dealio with Annie to volunteer and it was one heck of a night. My back is "sorta back", but it's not as bad. I should just take some more medicine before I go to work. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 1 November 2008, 20:51:13 On Thursday night I was supposed to go see a concert. This band from Japan called Monkey Majick came to Zaphod's. I was meeting people there so I got there at 7, but no one I knew was around. I waited in what I could only describe as the ONE wind tunnel anywhere in the city that night, because while it wasn't really that cold I was freezing with that windchill. Anyway a hour later (and thus a half-hour LATE) Stacey and Shannon showed up and we waited in line. Eventually I heard my name and looked back and this dude I went to high school with that I-now-dislike who dated Jess back then was with friends behind me. I did the usual feigning like for the guy but I didn't have to work hard at paying attention since we were both with other groups.
His whole group, like me, didn't have tickets. But my friends did. More people I knew showed up and stuff. It warmed up as the line got longer and people got in between the wind and I. There were like 14 other people that I was waiting to see that I never saw, because eventually (meaning an hour plus in the frozen line) one of Zaphod's guys was like "If you don't have tickets, it's sold out". Like, gr-#####ing-reat. Thanks for saying that online, or on the sign, or earlier so that I didn't waste my #####ing time. So I went home, mad. I played it cool in front my friends, obviously, and they all went in but I was pretty disappointed I didn't get to go and had to wait around for nothing. But I guess it made me look good. On the bus home this girl I went to school with since like kindergarten was standing next to me. I blanked her. She might've blanked me too, or didn't notice me. Either way I gave no indication I noticed her. Then some people got up so I sat down. She sat down next to me. I continued to not notice her but it was weird. Normally I might've talked to her but we're not really friends or anything and I was absolutely not in the mood. And then I came home and all that Ditz the fox business was going on. -- Yesterday, Halloween, I was on the bus to work and I saw Sandra getting on. She's this really hot girl I know from pre-animation and she always comes to the Halloween party every year, but she's weird. I always get a huge impression she doesn't like me (And for no reason, which is something I don't understand, plus I'd know if she had a reason. I'm very real.) and since that started to just not a give a ##### about what she thinks. So I blanked her, or we blanked each other as she probably saw me too. I don't know, or care. To level with you, she's just really weird. Like nice sometimes and a total frost queen others without any indication. I'm done dealing with that. Anyway, I worked the store all day dressed as Luke Cage (http://www.megaman.co.uk/mboard/index.php?topic=110.msg34239#msg34239), which was a very irritating costume to wear all day, so irritating I skipped meals. But people that recognized the character dug it. My boss made his costume the whole day so I did most of the work. After work, I went home showered and changed costumes to my Iron Man sort of thing. Then rushed to Sonia's party. I should not have been driving I was so hungry but I picked up Wendy's on Merivale when I got to the west end and then ate it at the party. Too SO long to get to the party even though I went SO fast. Just had a lot to take care of in a short time. Anyway the girl I had the mutual blank with on the bus that morning was at the party. I was sure she would be but I just didn't really bother with talking to her. After I ate and stuff it was all good. Had a great night, laughs, fights, sighs, all kinds of it. Stayed over, and then Denny's this morning with people. This sounds like I blank people on the bus all the time. Or that I don't like a lot of people. Not entirely true or untrue. Not really, I just know a LOT of people in this city, so I'm always seeing someone whether I want to or not. And then there's strangers who talk to me like they know me... But that's another tale. And I hate that chainsaw man, Vinch. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 1 November 2008, 21:08:42 Alright, so I was planning to go on a hellraise run with Aaron(Someguy), but I couldn't get a hold of him so I just had to blow that off. So I went to a party with a couple of friends, dressed in my last minute pseudo-costume; a devilock wearing punk fiend. Decked out with leather and chains, complete with a kickin' punk rock baseball jersey. The lock was pretty #####ty by the end of the night, but it held up a good fight.
But yeah, once I got to the party we started playing Rock Band 2, which was one of my first tries at the game. I was reppin' the bass, and when I got a 100% mark I started bragging to everybody that got a lower mark, jokingly of course(I was playing easy mode). We started filming some things, like a whole video of everybody in the one Rock Band room, everybody getting their piece in, we recorded a couple other things like me singing some tunes from Mega Man, since I'm known as the total Mega Nerd there. I got my MMZ3 game that I hadn't had for about 4 years now, my friend lost it when I let him borrow it, and just recently found it. We went out a couple of times, to walk some friends home, on the way back to the house we dropped by our elementary school, where we sneaked in and #####ed around on the jungle gym. I went to the top and pissed down a slide, shouting ##### like "Happy Halloween #####ers!", caused some good laughs. We went back and just started to chill for a bit, the others were in the Rock Band room while a couple of the others including me went to the next room and just talked, had some good laughs. I must've drilled through my friends mini fridge, drank about 50% of all the pop there. We went out a couple more times, and then I decided to call a quits and head home. Over all great #####ing day.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 1 November 2008, 23:14:35 Yeah, a lot of the time I'm just avoiding a volition-less conversation. When I see someone I'm just kind of friends with on the bus, we're both stuck in this bullet that's moving through the city until one of our stops, so there's no way out of the conversation if it dries up.

I might as well point out that when I look back on all the girls I had a crush on before I turned 18, I honestly cannot figure out WHAT the ##### I saw in any of them. I have a hunch that I was just so stupid that any time a girl was nice to me and she was pretty, I felt like I had a chance and that I should pursue them. Sometimes I feel like that, but I've grown into a very picky guy. I mean, someone like me, who isn't exactly a ladies man, shouldn't really be picky, but goddamn. It makes it a lot easier for me to have female friends, though, since most of them I could NEVER imagine wanting to date. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Posted on: 5 November 2008, 22:44:20 I'm the best there is at what I do. My boss keeps telling me, on his way out for the day, to go home a half hour early or when I'm done this particular thing because I'm fast and good enough at it that I finish things before he can get other stuff for me to do. Sometimes I'll finish something and he tells me to go play on the computer or do whatever for a while because whatever's not ready for me yet. Today he said to go home when I finish one particular pile of work. Today I got off an hour early. Yeah. I'm good. The other day I downloaded Windows Cave Story onto a USB stick, and then installed it back on to that stick at work. What that means is that I have Cave Story completely installed on this little stick, and I can play it at work without it having to leave anything on the actual computer and thus bypassing being bored all the time since half the websites there are blocked (even government ones gets filtered sometimes) which includes even ARTICLES about games and ##### as "games".

Thread Post by: Mikero on 8 November 2008, 04:23:57 Battery goes down past 60% quickly, and then loses the ability to know how charged it is but from there it can MAYBE make it down to 40% before deciding it's at 0%.
And two of my power cords have crapped on me, this one is good still so I'm gonna preserve it as long as possible. If it breaks I'll just finally get a new lappy instead of a new cord.

I'm now cleaning my room. I came across my old crappy Web Design folder I had in High School. I laughed at myself when I found an old Dental Claim Form I made for the class. There are entries I was required to put in, like "Patient's name" and such, while other areas involved my creativity, since the teacher wanted it to be exactly like the same as the example form she gave us, but it was partially unreadable due to the size of text. She said that if the text was unreadable, we could make something up. My personal favorite was creating a form box asking: "Is the treatment a result of a mutation? Y/N" "If yes, are you a turtle? Y/N" I'm just surprised about how much stuff I stashed away. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 9 November 2008, 02:24:19 I haven't slept in two days and I'm still not tired.

Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 9 November 2008, 19:26:35 I had that feeling with this Chucky doll I had when I was little.
I was so scared of it that I threw it into my room and locked the door. For some reason, that door could only be unlocked from the inside so my dad had to unscrew the knob to open the door. Since then, my mom threw out that doll after realizing how scared I was of it and my dad replaced the lock on that door with one that is easy to open from the outside. Something related to now, I just crushed some All Bran cereal into fine powder. Because I need to maintain a high fibre diet, I was getting sick of eating All Bran every day and night. This way, I can just sprinkle the stuff on everything I eat. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 10 November 2008, 06:23:13 Today started off with a marching band performance and ended with a home-made porno.
So, today we had the "Season in Review" concert for marching band, which is basically a huge performance where we go to Miller Auditorium and play all the music and stand cheers and half-time show stuff from the entire marching band season. Big deal. We did great. There was a sweet part where the drumline was lifted up through a hole in the stage while a fog machine was running and there were crazy lights and we played our badass cadence. Definitely a fun moment. My parents were up for the show and took me out to dinner, along with a couple friends. Good free meal. They also brought up the missing Rock Band instruments, so now we actually had a drumset, a microphone, and a second guitar. Which meant we played Rock Band 2 for most of the night. Then we started movie night. Watched The Incredible Hulk, since we watched Iron Man last night during the all-nighter. During the movie, I stopped procrastinating for a certain project I had to do: I started writing the script for my porno parody. You see, we had to write a How-To Guide in my English class. I wrote "How To Make a Porno." After doing this, our teacher informed us that we then needed to create an example of whatever we wrote about. Which meant I had to make a porno. So I talked to my teacher and fortunately she gave me the go-ahead. Flash-forward a couple weeks and the project is due tomorrow, yet I still haven't started. I got really into writing the script, and shortened it to about a page. Then I found some great 70's porn music. Then I whipped out the camera, paused the movie, and told everyone in the room that they had to participate in the filming of my porno or else I wouldn't let them watch the rest of the movie. In the end, a few people ended up not getting parts anyway so they got lucky... or UNlucky depending on how you look at it. I tell you, this was PURE GOLD. I'm now officially a porno director and a pornstar. I'm uploading the video to YouTube now and I'll post it for all of you guys later. It's taking forever to upload.

I used to play in a band with a few old-time friends of mine. After last year, we haven't kept in touch because he ended up moving away. We were great friends, and he was like a brother to me. One of the greatest amateur guitar players I've ever met. From what I heard, he was submitted to the hospital about a month ago for a sickness he had for a few awkward months. He was diagnosed with leukemia, and ended up passing away on Friday morning. I feel so dead right about now. Anyway, I was told from his mother (the one that called me) that his viewing followed by his funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon. I will be attending... He was such a great guy for a friendship that lasted for 8-9 years. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

There were a good 50+ people there, including family members.

Forgot about newer frigid dental assistan, who is not new really. But don't go to dentist for check-up more than 3 times a year.
She decided to use a machine, previously unseen or heard of before, when cleaning teeth. She wanted to make me bleed, where a check up shouldn't be so painful. Certain now that she reveled in it. Immediately postulated that she might, in fact, be the devil. Reconsidered that later. Devil shows more emotion. However, afterwards was different. Changed. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night. ... Really though it was fine, but that woman is some kind of sadist (with newer magazines) or something, as that was really not necessary. Perhaps she was trying to speed it up, since I felt the whole appointment went remarkably fast. Point is, my teeth are completely great. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Fatso on 14 November 2008, 19:26:23 Negatory, good sir. Having used both (the iPod was a nano from two generations ago, don't know if anything has changed much since then), I can give a quick rundown of the obvious pros and cons:
+Clean, crisp display +#####ing invincible most of the time - my incident was an aberration (you can't say that about any Apple product) +Format-agnostic (will play basically any type of audio you throw at it, compressed or uncompressed, except for protected AAC and I think FLAC, and supports a wide range of video codecs) +Playlist creation and editing on-the-fly. +No synchronization. This is my biggest gripe with iPods other than fragility and anal-retention concerning audio/video codecs. Synchronization is unbe#####inglievably stupid. +SD card slot for expanded capacity. -Navigation is somewhat clunky and unintuitive, unlike iPod which has pretty good menu organization -Much shorter battery life (like, maybe 3/4 as much) -Unreliable battery indicator -Can't run programs from it (shows up as a media player, not a removable hard drive) -#####ing anal video resolution/filesize requirements. If it's not 320x240 and between like 600-1000Kbps the ZEN won't play it. This is strange considering how open it is with video codecs. I've had a year of cumulative use with each brand, and hands-down I'd give the ZEN the edge, unless Apple has found a way to turn ##### into wine in the last year. EDIT: So, turns out there's no choice in the matter, the ZEN is totally broken now. Yay for totally reconfiguring a year-old second-hand iPod... can't wait until I've gotten past the frantically-saving-up-for-second-semester phase, because I've lost about $250 in broken and almost-broken audio equipment over the last two or three weeks.

Thread Post by: Ikeoko on 15 November 2008, 02:56:03 I wish I learned about the fall of the roman empire... Part of my magazine project I'm currently working on about it, its set in roman times to the roman people: ROMAN EMPIRE FALLS Have you been wondering why our great Empire has fallen? There are many factors that led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Hostile tribes cut off Rome’s trade routes, causing a lack of silver and gold. Money has been recently minted with less gold and silver to preserve our remaining precious metals, but this lack of wealth has caused an inflation. In addition to our suffering economy, Rome’s soldiers have lost their sense of patriotism and loyalty. Our fighters have become indifferent to the fate of the Empire. Rome’s Western Empire fell apart first, by a variety of factors. The Western Empire was separated from the Eastern Empire, which was wealthier. In addition, the West had to fight outside invasions. Germany invaded the West, and those barbarians went through Gaul, Spain, North Africa, and plundered Rome itself for three days straight! As all this was happening, the Huns were attacking the East Empire, and plundered its cities. However, when the chief died, the Hun attacks stopped. Everyone is asking this question: “Could the fall of the Roman Empire been prevented?” Perhaps with better planning by our rulers, Rome could still stand strong today. Now you know!

Thread Post by: Mikero on 15 November 2008, 02:59:57 Darkwatch mythos claims that Rome really fell because of vampires. Which necessitated the need for the Darkwatch.

So, to celebrate, our drum instructor hosted a party at his apartment. "Optional rehearsal," he called it. "I'll have 24-packs... of drumsticks." Anyway, just got back a bit early because my friends and I are genuinely tired as #####. It's been a really long day. Oh, and a weird happenstance. For today's halftime show, a bunch of military schools came in for a little Veteran's Day bit during the middle. So during practice in the morning, I was standing there waiting for the next run-through, when I start watching the military school kids march past. I randomly make eye contact with one of them. And lo and behold, it's somebody I know. He looked right at me and smiled, this stupid "haha yep" grin he has, so it was unmistakably him. I don't really care for the kid much, but I've dealt with him on way too many occasions. Not the best seed, definitely a sketchy character. But still, somebody I know and was totally not expecting to see. Weirder still because out of this entire enormous group of kids in camo, I randomly lock eyes with him. I was going to call him later and confirm, but I realized that if he's at military school, he won't have a cell phone or anything. I know that much from experience. They're strict on that. So I made some calls and it was indeed confirmed that he got into trouble and his parents shipped him off to military school for his senior year of high school. Apparently nobody's heard from him in a long time. So it's kind of funny that I saw him. A really odd coincidence. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Its an addiction that's been bothering me for years now, and today I've finally decided to try to take a break from the Internet. A week break. So for a week, I will not use the Internet for personal use. I think the term "social" use would work better, but basically, after this post, I will not post on these or any other forum on the Internet. I will not read anything on the Internet including message boards, Wikipedia, and personal e-mails. I will not view YouTube videos or any other kind of video from streaming websites. I will not play Flash games or any online games (like WoW). I'm even going as far as not to view pr0nz on the internet. Basically, I'm stopping all social contact for myself because I find that I'm wasting far too much time with it. I keep telling myself "I have no time to do this and this" and I tell myself that as I browse these forums, reading the same thing over and over again hoping someone will make a new post or topic. I waste many hours a day doing this. My school work is taking a toll and I don't even know if I should consider myself a gamer anymore because I'd rather browse the Internet than play video games. I will, however, only use the Internet for school use. My History of Video Games class actually sites Wikipedia for its info and my teacher encourages me to go there for information, so there's a situation where I have to use Wikipedia for something important. I'm also going to continue uploading my Let's Play Zelda 64 videos onto YouTube. I've not been doing that lately because of the Internet too. I'll be updating my blog (link below) to talk about how I'm doing at the end of the day, but that's as far as I'm going when it comes to social interaction on the Internet. I'm going to try my very best not to fail. I have a feeling that I may actually go through a withdrawl of some sort. I know today won't be too bad but I know for sure that it will get way worse as the week goes on. If anyone is interested in how crazy I get, my blog link is here: http://tloayvgd.blogspot.com/ Yeah, great title. I was planning on updating that a lot but the internet has gotten in the way of that too. So anyways, I'll see you guys next week (hopefully not sooner). If this goes well, I plan to do this every month. Anyways, next week. Tah-tah! Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Ultimate relaxation. The water was hot for the entire time. I had never felt so refreshed. Then I go down to the cafeteria for breakfast. I see a little note on the soda machines saying "There is no pop today because of a problem with the Kalamazoo water supply." I don't think much of it, since I was just getting cereal. I look up at the TV's they have in there, and there was just a message on the screen that said "SEVERE WEATHER WARNING." Then, on my way back to my room, I see a sign posted on the door to the stairwell. It says "DO NOT DRINK THE DORM WATER. THERE IS A CONTAMINATION IN THE KALAMAZOO WATER SUPPLY." And then in big hand-written underlined letters "DO NOT DRINK WATER!!!!!!" Not the best day to have soaked myself in the shower for an hour. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

But really, I usually get a drink of water from the drinking fountain every morning. I don't really know why I didn't do that today. I hope I get superpowers. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 18 November 2008, 21:00:32 I've lived in a couple places where you can't drink the water. You can still bathe in it. People bathe in Mexico, for example.
Most of the time, if it's a sudden thing, it's just caution (though, there's also something breaking down at the plant and allowing contaminants in). If you're actually worried about it, ask someone how serious of a threat it really is. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Posted on: 19 November 2008, 15:19:07 Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. One man, entirely miserable and equally disinterested in digital watches, sat at his desk typing a literary anaylsis regarding a wholly remarkable book (which, by a staggering coincidence, was where the first four paragraphs of this post were ripped from.) As he typed an increasingly boring literary analysis for an increasingly boring Thoughts and Writing class on an increasingly boring Wednesday morning (which, mind you, had been having a boring day of his own and deserves to sympathized with), he found himself running out of readily available knowledge on the subject, with about two more double-spaced pages to go. He unwittingly head over to Wikipedia and cautiously scanned the appropriate article. It struck him how almost but not entirely unlike the real Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this website was. As he scrolled dow---- WHAT. WHAT. ......WHAT. Apparently a sixth Hitchhiker's Guide book is being written. By Eoin Colfer, who wrote the Artemis Fowl books (which I admittedly enjoyed quite thoroughly but does not mean I am letting him off the hook for this blasphemy.) It is called "And Another Thing..." and scheduled for an October 2009 release... and I am going to have to read it but holy hell am I angry that this is happening. I don't even know what to think.

That reminds me, the United Way threw a book sale at my university yesterday. I was walking by and noticed a rather large selection of science fiction and fantasy. Picked up four novels: Bearing an Hourglass and With a Tangled Skein by Piers Anthony (I read On a Pale Horse some seven or eight years ago and promised myself I would read the rest of the series sometime... cut to present day) The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov (not sure why I haven't read this yet) Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams (I haven't read books 2, 3 or 4, but I figure a series like this works similarly enough to the Jerry Cornelius saga for me to read the books in any order I damn well please and none of the others were on sale that I could see) Total bill: four dollars. No word of a lie. Read all of Mostly Harmless last night and realized at the end that I really should not have read the books out of order, but whatever. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: Mikero on 23 November 2008, 02:34:03 This starts with this statement; I live in a city. I do not live in the country, not in farm land, and no where near anything like a zoo.
So yesterday, on my way to work, I was walking through the parking lot of a bunch of businesses. I walk through this place to my bus every day. Before I turned a corner I thought "Ah #####. I forgot my phone, and I'll be late if I go back. But I probably won't need it anyway, plans have already been made for tonight." So I turned the corner and looking around thought "What is that? A big fake bird?" It was, to my soundless astonishment, NOT fake. ... The wild turkey walked a few steps before eating something in the grass right outside the door of some printing company. I could not believe my eyes. In a rather overtly causous arc I walked by it on the opposite side of the car park, watching this foul fowl. It was just... there. As if everything was fine. Not another human in sight. I kept on my course, though, lest I be mercilessly pecked. I've heard tell that wild turkeys, being turkeys, are complete dullards and that wild turkeys, being wild, will attack people out of no where. I don't know, but I was running late and had no phone to take a picture, so showing up late to work claiming turkey-attack wouldn't fly. I have no idea how a turkey could possibly have been deposited there. And if you've not seen a wild turkey in person before, it's startlingly big. It'd take a good sized hug to get arms around that thing. I'm still slightly creeped out about it. At night I walked through there a couple times (going to and from the bus 'cause I went drinking downtown) and I didn't see it again. Or it didn't feel like fighting me. I'm worried it lives in the overgrown vacant lot. Well, maybe not-so-vacant. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Lunchebox on 23 November 2008, 05:48:25 So, I went apartment hunting in Boston, yesterday and today.
First place was alright, and I was all set to movie, pretty much. My dad wired me some money for a deposit. Unfortunately, my ATM/Debit card refuses to work for some odd reason. So, I had to go to the bank, but by the time I got the money, it was too late. Haha, yeah, definitely don't read Hitchhiker's Guide out of order. Especially since a lot of Mostly Harmless has to do with the whole Stravomula Beta thing that definitely made no sense to you. Salmon of Doubt has the first 11 chapters, I think, of what was either going to be the sixth Hittchhiker's book, or the third Dirk Gently Book. It featured Zaphod and Dirk, IIRC. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 23 November 2008, 06:28:00 Yep, read Salmon of Doubt. 11 chapters, yeah, originally going to be the third Dirk Gently, but Douglas said it had more a Hitchhiker's feel to it and was thinking of turning it into a sixth book. Dirk's in it, yeah, but no Zaphod. Dunno' where you got Zaphod from. But yeah, it was hell to read, because it was literally JUST the set-up of what was going to be an amazingly creative novel. Great stuff about the Schrodinger cat in there. And now we'll NEVER know where he was going with ANY of it.
But yeah. That doesn't mean I want someone else writing a sixth book just because it isn't there. That doesn't even make sense. Why did anyone even let this happen? The Hitchhiker's Guide series DID end. It had an ENDING. It wasn't like Adams died before finishing off a major cliffhanger. It was a nicely rounded-off ending, if a bit grim. There is no need for anyone to write a sixth book. I'd love to boycott it, but of course I'm going to read it. There's no way I won't be able to. But it's going to be really painful and I'm much more upset about this than I should be, but reeeeeeally. Douglas Adams was a genius, and it's not at all possible that anyone else can live up to those books because they were so genuinely HIM. You can't just pass off the torch. You just can't. And the thing is, Eoin Colfer is a GREAT author. I've read the first two Artemis Fowl books and they are actually really, really good. I read one of his other books, too, The Wish List or something. Decent. Didn't read the third Artemis Fowl. But my point is... I don't CARE how good he is. He's just not Douglas Adams, and he has no right writing a sixth Hitchhiker's book. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Lunchebox on 23 November 2008, 18:51:07 Yep, read Salmon of Doubt. 11 chapters, yeah, originally going to be the third Dirk Gently, but Douglas said it had more a Hitchhiker's feel to it and was thinking of turning it into a sixth book.

Great stuff about the Schrodinger cat in there. And now we'll NEVER know where he was going with ANY of it. Bleh, it's been about five years since I read Salmon of Doubt. It was going to feature Zaphod in it eventually, or would have in a rewrite. I don't remember, and don't have the book nearby to refresh my memory. But what is this about someone else writing another Hittchhiker's book? I have not been paying too much attention. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 23 November 2008, 19:07:12 Yeah, it's what I'm angry about.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7619000/7619708.stm Apparently Douglas Adams' widow handpicked Eoin Colfer to write a sixth Hitchhiker's Guide book. Which I don't understand why this was even an issue, and why she was handpicking anyone to write it in the first place. But yeah, with all this Hitchhiker's talk, plus me doing a literary analysis project on it for writing class, I've decided to start reading it again. This is gonna' be... my eighth or ninth time. Can't remember. Every time is even better. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Fatso on 23 November 2008, 19:40:49 Yesterday was a crazy day for two reasons.
First: I took a break. First time I've had the opportunity for that luxury in a good two or three months. It was very refreshing. Second: Manager slipped and fell square on her ass, I think I heard something about a fractured tailbone. It was not fun to watch. Ambulance had to be called, and by the looks of things the damage was not only to her tailbone. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 23 November 2008, 19:49:44 Ouch.
It's crazy because I fall and get tossed around and jump from super-high places and do so much stupid ##### but I've never so much as broken a bone. But then there's things like people simply slipping and getting seriously hurt. It bothers me. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Oh well. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Yubi Shines on 23 November 2008, 22:15:47 Hmm... IMO, Eoin Colfer is a decent author. Not outstanding, but decent. The first two Artemis books were great, but I think it went downhill from there. Opal Deception was okay, but I just did not like the rest of the series. Supernaturalists was also not so good -- it was like an abridged version of Shade's Children. So I'm also not so enthusiastic about this idea.

Plus three days ago. Ha. Ugh. Anyway, I get back and start playing Rock Band with some friends, and then the yellow button on my controller breaks. Greeeeeeat. Not about to go buy a new one. Apparently it's working again, but it still stops every once in a while. Very annoying. But anyway, right after that happened, I went to get on my laptop. I open it up and hear a huge crack. The right hinge on the flappy part thing on my laptop broke. UGH. I mean, the computer is fine, but now I can't really shut it lest I completely break it off its hinges. Then some friends and I went to look for an apartment, but basically just had more problems. A very off day, really. Capped it off with a purchase of Tropic Thunder on DVD. The special edition.

Anyway... Getting off an hour and half early from work because your Internet Explorer went bat##### and decided you need a network username and password to do anything (even Google!) is good. Using some but not all of that time to get next month's bus pass before the rush, buying birthday presents, and getting yourself a CD you've wanted for the same price as as many years you've wanted it (10) is great.

I need to get The Battle Of Los Angeles again though, because a friend decided to never return the disc (I still have the case and book). Anyway.. I now know how to get photos off my phone. These all look a lot farther away than I was, so it's kind of blob (it was doing stuff under it's wings with it's birdface). I went in closer but then it's head went straight up (people, who didn't notice it somehow, were walking by talking) so I backed off. Also, people were inside the Gryphon building and some guy seemed mad because I think he knew it was there outside the door but didn't know what to do about it.

I'm crossing my fingers on Lost Season 3, because I just got the first two from a friend for the low-low price of $20... but I don't see anything about Lost in any of the catalogues online or off.

Three in fact. One scheduled earlier in the day, and two at night. Right after I got to Boston around 2:45, the earlier one canceled. One of the night ones canceled on the train. #####. So basically, I had to kick around for three-four hours, and went to the only mall I know of in town. Went to Barnes and Noble, and delighted to see a Will Eisner's Spirit pop-up book, LoEG, this big 24 best crime stories book (two penned by Alan Moore, and sadly, only one Spirit story), among other things. And lo and behold, there it was. The deceptively hard to find book that I always check for when I enter a book store... Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I read Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul ('bout... Five years ago), and wanted to read the first one ever since! And it was pretty cheap too! And the check-out girl, I think was awkwardly flirting with me, and I may have. awkwardly, flirted back. I have no idea. I am incredibly dense when it comes to situations like these anyway. I went to see the one place that didn't cancel on me. It was alright, but might be too expensive for me. Oh well. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 30 November 2008, 04:02:15 You're in for a treat. I'd love Long Dark Tea Time a whole lot more if the first Dirk Gently wasn't so #####ing fantastic that it completely overshadowed it.
You're lucky you read it first because you'll appreciate it all that much more. It was a let-down after how amazing the first one was. Like, DGHDA is just that good. I've been thinking about getting that House of Leaves book. I hear good things about it, and the whole complex weaving of those crazy ideas really appeals to me. Oh, and I shoved three chilli peppers into my mouth today without ever having had one before. It hurt. But now I'm a man. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Oh, and I skimmed through The Salmon of Doubt yesterday now that I'm back home, to check for where you would have gotten Zaphod's inclusion from. Because I was scared maybe I was wrong and actually had forgotten. They just included the short story "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe." The inside flap says something like "visits with Dirk Gently and Zaphod Beeblebrox" so at first I was like "Maybe Lunche was right and I totally did forget?!" But yeah, skimmed through the actual fragmented Salmon of Doubt and Zaphod is indeed not part of that. Just his short story is in the book. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

BUT DAMN IT So far my day has been annoying. I need to return my broken RockBand guitar through purolator and I finally found a location. I walk around town looking for the bus station to it. Turns out I was waaaaaaay off, going in a complete circle back to residence. Then I finally get to the bus stop and just missed my bus. I then waited for over an hour for the same bus to return. I've seen this same bus go by three times, and another one twice before the bus I need to go on gets here. I finally get to the Purolator stop. Turns out that it's closed on Sunday. I felt that the irony was delicious. Then I went to the HMV near-by because I've been looking for one for a while and it just so happened to have been near where I was. I went in looking for One Piece Season 1 Part 2. I walked out with a special edition of Gurren Lagann Set 1. It was an impulse buy. I then went to this small video game store called Microplay. It has a bunch of games to buy, rent, and you can sell some too so it was pretty cool. I bought Chrono Trigger for the DS. Finally back in my room. Its only 1PM. So far the day has been looooong but the fact that I didn't go to sleep last night probably has something to do with that. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Anyway you should go to CD Warehouse instead of HMV, there's one on Merivale. Big sign, across the street from Denny's and behind a great shawarma place. You'll find HMVs at every mall though. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 30 November 2008, 19:25:54 Never heard of CD Warehouse, but if its anything cheaper than HMV (which most other places are) then I'll definitely check it out one day. Its just that HMV is the only place that I know of that casually carries anime and I really wanted that One Piece DVD.
There are probably some specialty shops somewhere but I really don't have the time to look for one at the moment. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 30 November 2008, 20:32:56 If you want anime then there's a store, also on Merivale, called the Anime Stop, which is an offshoot of The Comic Book Shoppe next door. Normally I wouldn't recommend The Comic Book Shoppe over my store for much, but if you want anime DVDs then they're little Anime Stop thing is probably a good bet.
CD Warehouse doesn't have the BEST prices, but it can be cheaper than HMV and there's a lot more of everything. Thus the term "Warehouse". Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 30 November 2008, 20:52:49 Sweet, I'll check it out next time I have free time. Thanks.

Like, it's totally shocking me me at how much I love it. Everything is so interesting and well-thought out. You keep forgetting that it's fiction even though you KNOW it's not. Like, for those who don't know, it's about this guy, Johnny Truant, who finds a book in a dead man's apartment and starts reading it. That book was written by the dead guy, called Zampano, and it's a detailed review of a movie that doesn't actually exist, called The Navidson Record. That movie is a documentary supposedly filmed by a famous photographer who moved into a country house with his family, and they find out that the house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It's littered with notes from Johnny. There's constant footnotes on every page, from Zampano, from Johnny, and from The Editors. The reason you start forgetting that it's fiction is because of how layered everything is, and how much is written referencing to real things and fake things that sound real. While Johnny is reading Zampano's book, he continuously makes notes about how whatever he's referencing isn't real, and how the movie doesn't exist, things like that... so as you start agreeing with Johnny, you forget that HE'S fake, too. And it's a horror story. An actually unsettling and frightening horror story. It's given me chills and I'm hardly even that far in at all yet. There's a haunting part where Johnny tells you to not look away from the words on the page and imagine an atrocious beast just out of your sight, seconds away from digging his teeth "(or is it nails?)" into your jugular. So effective. [/praise] Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 4 December 2008, 22:12:18 Second full day home, and I'm doing pretty well.

I need a new job. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 16 December 2008, 04:45:05 Oh man.
Oh man oh man oh man. Our ceiling leaked at work. Somehow, the ceiling leaked a mass amount of water on the platter (http://lh5.ggpht.com/_YWwS_pQKDQo/R92Fo9MA_VI/AAAAAAAABQ8/dQFW6h-1KuA/0316081535.jpg) of theatre nine, which was holding Australia. I came in today, not knowing anything about this but I found out pretty soon. What ended up happening was a replacement of part of the reel. Which means they cut out the damaged bit (or so they thought) and taped a new piece in. So... yeah. I started the movie at its proper time, and since it's 3 hours long I didn't have to worry about starting it twice. Since the reel wasn't replaced as well as it could've been, we had that part of the reel on top of the rest of the platter, meaning the brain—that piece of equipment in the middle of the platter—would draw out the movie reel from underneath a mass of the rest of the reel from much farther along in the movie, and eventually it would collapse. I managed to fix this problem as the movie was running, re-shaping the entire thing when there was enough space to accomodate it, but then something entirely different happened. Apparently the damn thing was still water damaged. I eventually noticed that as the entire platter was rotating, the brain would draw out the reel and it would stick together in parts. It usually pulled apart before reaching the brain, but in one case I had to stop monitoring the projector and check on 2 projectors that started at the same time. I came back just as the damn thing decided to bite off more than it could chew, just as the platter's wrap detector (an arm-like thing attached to a roller holding the reel) started to raise and the movie stopped. That was okay, though, I got it running again within a minute, and continued to let it run for a while even though the projector sounded like it was playing the movie from hell... then the arm's roller fell off. In slow motion I watched the reel lift away from the arm without the arm following suit, and I realised the movie wouldn't stop this time because the arm wouldn't move, which was much worse, so I bolted over to the projector, poked the red STOP button, screwed the damn thing back in, and started it AGAIN. What a fun job. I managed to prevent any other weird things from happening until it was through the damaged part, and went home. And just now I realised my wisdom tooth has been at war with my gums the whole damn time. Not a bad shift. It ended weird, but whatever. I couldn't get in trouble for something that wasn't my fault so I just did my best. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 16 December 2008, 04:55:23 Friday was kind of interesting, or just a runaround of stuff.
On Friday my friends and I were supposed to go for a big night out (they'd just finished the semester, and for Liz's birthday). Bus strike, bad weather, blah blah blah, but this is how it went down (or didn't); So I get home from work, look at my MSN and there's messages left from Lynsey (96% bitch) like "Come to Denny's at 7:30 and then Gracie's after at 8" except spelled worse. I look at the clock and it's 8pm. My reaction: "::) ##### off, Lynsey." Basically kind of pissed because (1) They all know I work until 7 on fridays, couldn't possibly be HOME by 7:30, all that stuff is across the damn city so I couldn't be THERE by 8:30, and no one bothered to call or text my mobile and instead left messages on my MSN which makes coordinating harder. So whatever. I ate and then drove to Gracie's. I should mention that's short for "Grace O'Malley's", an Irish pub thing with a dance floor that I'm not really a fan of. Anyway I get there and it's like, 9 or something. I park (had to drive, which means I wouldn't even be able to drink at the bar) and then right outside the door I get a feeling. Check my phone and Dico (My friend Shawn, also Lynsey's boyfriend) had sent me a text while I was driving; "Come to my place, we're watching Dark Knight". I replied "What now? I'm at Gracie's!" and then he replied "Come to Denny's now." #####. So I go over to Denny's, and less than a quarter of the people are there. We talk a bit and I find out they basically just changed the whole thing and we're just gonna watch Dark Knight and people will be meeting us there. Fine whatever. Not worth the drive in the ##### weather but fine. I was really ready to unload on Lynz if she'd started running her mouth but she wasn't around at the time, and when I saw her later I didn't care. Anyway so I get in the car to go to Dico's and meet them there. His roommates' are supposed to be in there anyway so I can just go up. It's not like they lock the door. As I'm driving, I see a car behind me with four people in it. So I assumed it was my friends, and made hand motions through my back window at them. The car changed lanes and was passing me on the right, so without looking I just gave held up the finger lingering. Then I noticed it wasn't their car when it was ahead enough for me to see it, and was embarrassed. But it didn't matter my turn was right up ahead. I went into Dico's building and I knew he'd recently moved but only up or down a floor. So I went to the apartment I thought it was. I'm often unsure which apartment is the right one in that building so I listened at the door since people were supposedly there. I go into to 204, walk right up into the foyer and... Not the right place. Two asian guys look at me like what. the. #####. So I play it cool like 'Sorry guys, wrong place...' and high tail it out of there. I should have gone to 304. I thought they'd moved down, but they'd moved up. So I texted them. Nothing. Called. Nothing. Waited outside the building's doors, as it was cold but cold I liked a lot more than being inside the building. As I was waiting drunk people were leaving, but wasting time being drunk in the doorway thing where you buzz in (the door was propped anyway). This dancing girl looks at me through the window and starts dancing AT me. I wasn't really in the mood but I played along a bit and laughed. Another drunky girl there (but not cute like the other one) came out the door backwards a bit and was loudly talking some stuff not worth mentioning and I was bored so I was listening. She caught my eye and immediately stopped talking. Mortified, she crept back inside the doors and said in a low voice "That's embarrassing." I laughed in my head. When they finally came out the dancy girl something along the lines of "What's up?!" in that super friendly way loud cute dancy drunk girls talk while they don't actually stop dance-walking to wherever they're going. 'Not much, just waiting for some people.' "Yah! Yah! Me too! OK have an incredible night!" 'Heh I'll try.' or 'Oh I will' I can't remember. And then I said something like 'have a good night' and she loudly said whatever response is typical of that type, but I wasn't listening as my friends all finally showed up all once. So no one was in their apartment anyway. Scags. Anyway as we all went in the doors I was laughing about this very stupid exchange that just happened, and me walking into the wrong place, and me flipping off the wrong car, and then had to tell Brian (he asked, I didn't think this story was that good). The rest of the night was pretty boring. Met Dico's sister (and it was her birthday or some thing and that was the main reason we were supposed to be going out but WHATEVER 'cause she was ALWAYS on her damn phone. Cool phone though, I have the same one) and watched Dark Knight, then played a bunch of Shadow Of The Colossus because the people that live there really dig it and I guess it's a replayable game. Saturday afternoon I get a message from Dico; "Gracie's tonight at 8". No. I didn't have my car and there's no busses, I had no way of getting there and I didn't really feel like doing all that again. And I knew it would be the same thing again. I found out Sunday that I was right. But whatever. I went over to frienemy's place in the crap part of downtown. I should mention that he only got said place downtown because for the the entirety of the time I've known him, I've my own (alone) place downtown. The difference is that I'm actually from this city and wouldn't get a #####hole in the assend of downtown, like he did. Anyway he, Sonia, and I watched "Christmas" movies. Only two of the three we watched were Christmas movies; The Muppet's Christmas Carol, and Nightmare Before Christmas. The other movie was Batman Returns (my favourite Batman movie, I don't care what you think) which at least happens during the Christmas times. After those we were thoroughly through with holiday movies for a while, so we watched a few How I Met Your Mother episodes on DVD and then I had to jet because of having to get up super early for work. Aside, I have to say my frienemy is slowly becoming less of a tool now that he doesn't live at home. I'm not just saying that because he gave me a GL book I wanted and lent me Spaced on DVD. He's just getting not so annoying when it's us three, but is still really annoying with more people (he's competing in his head, I'm sure) or on MSN (and it is every day). Anyway today I got up early and super-tired to go to work. Got in pretty well for once, since it's been hell with the weather and bus strike. Actually we were early. So we got breakfast. That made us late, but we knew that it would and didn't care because the bus strike allows us to be a bit late without consequence and this is my last week on my government contract so I've checked out anyway. Even so, I was only like 15 minutes "late". I finished the work I had left from last week at quarter to ten. I pretended to work until my boos went on break at ten. When he came back I went over and he was (once again) surprised I was done so fast. He said he had nothing for me so I could just play on the computer or do whatever for a while. He never found anything for me to do for the rest of the day, so here's what I did at work today; -I finished Kingdom Come (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Come_(comic_book)), from half-way. -I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Superman. -I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Batman. -I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Green Lantern. -I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Supergirl. -I did a quick gestural marker drawing of Catwoman. -I did another quick gestural marker drawing of Catwoman. -I did a dull pencil and pen doodle of Catwoman. -I did a dull pencil sketch of Catwoman. -I read the newest Penny Arcade comics and news. -I read the newest Dr. McNinja comics. -I read some VGCats news, but didn't care. -I did a bunch of nothing. -I tried to get around government website blocks to get on MMM or play a game. -I read news articles. -I sent people e-mails of dumb stuff I found online. -I looked at lolcat pictures. -I did a whole expert sudoku puzzle. And I had lunch somewhere in there. And since I had to wait for the carpool, I left a half hour later than I normally would have. And my boss to not come in tomorrow since there's nothing. But I'll probably still get paid for it. Thursday is my last day, so apparently we're going out for lunch. I'm just happy I can stay up a bit tonight and SLEEP in tomorrow. This was a long post.

Everything was so cheap. So, instead of getting The Dark Knight for $25, I got all 3 Austin Powers movies (been meaning to get these for years), Saw 1 (I do very much enjoy the first), and Election (great overlooked movie that I highly reccomend) for $30. And then I couldn't resist the new Louis CK and Katt Williams stand-up specials. In other words: I still don't have The Dark Knight. But I'm ultimately satisfied. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Bills and living on my own just became sort of overwhelming, and I wasn't accomplishing what I want to accomplish (Such as applying to art school, which was difficult to get set on when you're working to live), so I cut my losses and went back home. Today is my first day back, after arriving home last night. Living in MA wasn't a complete waste of time, it gave me some valuable life expierence, and (I hope) matured me a bit. Also, I had gotten together with this really sweet girl, almost immediately after, who I am still madly in love with, though, because I moved back, we're not really together anymore, but we still talk to eachother and all that. That was a crazy 7+ months. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 17 December 2008, 23:28:35 Sounds like a solid chapter in your life.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 19 December 2008, 03:29:56 Yesterday was basically the same as Monday. My boss gave me some work that was supposed to take long, but I figured out a way to do it all in 3 minutes. And two of those minutes was just me explaining how I did it. He gave me more work and then went home early (he was sick), and I finished my work just after 10am. So I just dicked around until four again. Read a whole Green Lantern hardcover and it was a great one. Did more sudoku puzzles, etc.
Today was my last day at the government. I finished two piles of work before 9:30, then finished my next things by 11:15, at which point we all went out for lunch (on my boss!) because it was my last day and also for an office Christmas thing. We went over to the bridge to Quebec and ate Le Bifteck. It took forever. I mean... Wow. When the food finally came (I had Filet Mignon) it was tasty but not even enough, really. For a sense of how long this all took; We got back at 2:30. Whereupon Jacques (my boss) and Carolyn left, and then Al left at about quarter to three. I kicked around doing nothing again since there was nothing, read most of a Green Lantern Corps paperback until my ride came at four. I can't believe I made 20 bucks an hour all week and did like a half-day's worth of work! (But am getting paid for all my days in full, and probably even the day I had off.) For me, it isn't that college is easier - it's just that I work a LOT better in a college setting, apparently. So it seems easier to me. OK well since I've had my program's workload compared to the workload from law school BY law school students, my view is probably skewed on this subject. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Or the day of! Just kiddin', man. You'll work it out. Posted on: 21 December 2008, 04:53:26 First day of Channukah. Whoo. I leave for Aruba on Wednesday. I'll be gone for a couple weeks, and I'm not sure if I have internet. Whatever. Like I already mentioned, I've been writing my own little internet sitcom sort of thing. Called Roomhates. I downloaded some professional scriptwriting software and, after some minor scriptwriting studying, just shot off and went crazy. I've got two episodes done. Well, today, I got The Office Season 4 for the first night of Channukah. As I opened it, I realized it comes packaged with a 38 page copy of the script for one of the episodes. I scanned through it excitedly since I'm getting into this sort of thing now, and I was stunned to see how accurate I was with writing my scripts. I'm doing virtually everything right. Like, straight down to the correct terminology and everything. I guess I watch so much TV and listen to so many TV commentaries that it all just rubbed off very well. We'll see for sure when I finish Roomhates. I've got everyone cast, and two of the five episodes completely written, though constantly being edited. I've also recently invested in a much better digital camera that is much more capable of video recording. I might return it, though, and get a real digital camcorder. I don't want to spend too much, and even though it doesn't have to be top quality, the digital camera I had before this one just simply won't cut it. This new one seems to work really well as a low-end camcorder, complete with the ability to zoom in and out while recording, something I rarely see. Still, I'm going to check out my options. Off to watch The Office. I stopped watching before Season 4, so from here on out, it's all brand new to me. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

It was great. We rode a limo there and back because we have a rich friend that we abuse. I tried really hard to find a green shirt, but they seriously only sold Red, White, and Blue shirts, ala the Pistons colors. What a shame. I had some money to blow. I saw a friend from college there, and she was just with her family and was pretty bored, and was very relieved to see me (we knew we were both going to be there because of Facebook, but hadn't particularly planned on meeting up.) She hung out with us the whole night because there was an open seat in the row behind us, and she sat there and we talked. Well, she really hung out with just me since she didn't really talk much with my friends. She's not really shy, just, I dunno'. She's cute and someone I can actually hold a solid conversation with so it didn't bother me. It was sort of weird having my "college world" and "home world" kind of collide. Though they really didn't, in this case. It's sort of like my hometown friends and my college friends are two completely different sets of people that probably wouldn't really get along with each other if I stuffed them all together. After the game, we chilled at my friend's house for a long time, and I finally had to go home because I have to get up early tomorrow for Aruba. So, yeah. Had a lot of fun hanging out with my home-friends for the last night I'll be able to for quite a while. Early tomorrow I'm heading off to Aruba for 10 days, and then as soon as I get back I'm heading off back for college. So, yeah, this also means I'll be gone for 10 days. I mean, maybe I'll have internet there, but I'm not counting on it. Plus, you can expect me to be bathing in the sun, fading out of conciousness and letting all my worries slip away for most of those 10 days. And I personally think I look pretty good with a tan, heh.

It's very relaxing and beautiful here... but a little TOO relaxing and beautiful. This happens every time I go on a long vacation, which is often. I'm antsy to get back to school, to start filming Roomhates, to see all my friends again... I'm actually missing my colleges bowl game right now. The marching band went to the Texas Bowl with my school's (Western Michigan) football team. I couldn't go because the bowl game we got scheduled for was smack in the middle of this vacation. Tomorrow, actually. So that's already put a damper on everything. I'm not complaining, no. Well, okay, I am, but I know I shouldn't be. It's just, I can only tan, swim, and relax for so long.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 31 December 2008, 01:28:05 Today I witnessed somebody lick their elbow. It definitely happened. Multiple times. I don't know HOW in the world she can do it.
Also found out from the same person (family friend that we're on the trip with) that Brandon T. Jackson, who played Alpa Chino in Tropic Thunder, went to my high school (she was classmates with him). That was about 6 years ago, I guess. I personally think it's cool because after reading up on him a bit, it turns out that he started with stand-up comedy and screen-writing and eventually being discovered and landing roles in movies like Roll Bounce and finally Tropic Thunder. Apparently he was just in The Day The Earth Stood Still, too. He has even opened for Chris Tucker before. I mean, man. This gives me a lot of confidence in my own very similar dreams and aspirations. And now I'm searching for Jake! Left him a comment on Facebook, but I haven't talked to him in a while. I was laying out the soundtrack for all five episodes of Roomhates, like which songs will be used when and where, and I needed the Breakfast Machine music from Pee Wee's Big Adventure for this part where Alvin builds a complicated death contraption. So, I was searching my hard drive for it since I knew I had it somewhere, when I remembered those mash-up mixes that Jake did a while back. Specifically "Pop My Pee Wee." That mash-up of the Breakfast Machine Pee Wee song and Wine-O's "Pop My Trunk." I have it ready and it'd be perfect to use instead of the original music, but I just need Jake's permission. Felt that it was relevant to post here. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Shawn on 31 December 2008, 02:30:52 Today I witnessed somebody lick their elbow. It definitely happened. Multiple times. I don't know HOW in the world she can do it.I knew a girl named Winona who did that. Today, I went for a walk. It was pleasant. But the holes in the knees in my jeans and the cold weather meshed together to make cold knees. Cold knees are hard to walk with. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

On the other hand, I'm terribly out of shape - there's this one hill on the way home from work that I used to be able to run up without difficulty (with all my work clothing/miscellaneous items), and lately it's stymied me to no end. This might also be a product of the change of temperature between August and December, but I'm certainly not nearly so fit as I was then. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 31 December 2008, 03:23:01 I was so in shape at one point that I can get through the "wall" pretty easily and run for a hulluva long time no matter how out of shape I am.

Also, today I took out the recyclables, unlocked Venom, and ate a lot of small candy canes. It really sucks how they stick to your teethe, and make your fingers sticky.

Oh, and Aruba is officially getting mind-numbingly boring. It's not that it's boring here, it's that my family insists on doing the same exact thing every day: wake up, spend the day at the SAME pool and beach, go to a local restaraunt around 6, and then pack it in for the night.

And it's because I drew a lot as a kid. But now that's I'm 18 and I don't draw as much or as seriously as I'd like, my drawings are actually very terrible in comparison to everything other artists and cartoonists my age are doing. Though I know I'm perfectly CAPABLE of bringing myself to their level. It's just that the only real way to get better at drawing is by drawing a lot, and I know that.

But the instructions written near them are worded very awkwardly. They say: FOR HELP PUSH ONCE And I'm not dyslexic, but EVERY time I see those words, I instantly read: PUSH HELP FOR ONCE And it happens EVERY time that I look at them, even if I nano-second later I know that's not what it says. The first time, I read it out loud and my brother laughed at me for reading it incorrectly, making it very apparent that I had. I probably would never have noticed if he hadn't pointed it out. The point is... ...since it keeps happening, I've seemingly tricked myself into thinking it's something significant in my mind. Like, this specific placement of these specific words have something very specific and important to do with the way my mind works. I know they don't. Or, rather, I don't seriously think they do. But this ominous nagging feeling that keeps persisting. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I hate airports. They seem to hate me, too. I don't think anything good has ever happened in an airport. TWICE, a random person tried walking off with our luggage thinking it was theirs. Once at customs in Aruba, and once again when we finally got to Detroit 12 hours later. We had to take a connecting flight since there aren't any direct ones from Detroit to Aruba, and it was even worse this time then it was on the way there, because we took the same plane twice and there was literally zero leg-room. Airports just suck balls. And then I finally get home to where my phone FINALLY starts working only to check my messages and find out that two of the people I was going to be rooming with next year aren't able to afford it, so it's just down to me and one other person now.

I guess it may be because I was away from home for so long that I just forgot how much I loved being at home before going back for the vacation. And now that I'm back in College, I just want some more but I know it's not possible. Maybe that's why I'm crying. Regardless, I'm better now. Internet took my mind off of home a lot.

What is strange about this Fundamentals of Music class is the fact that I might actually learn something I didn't already know. I was already well aware of my lack of music theory (which is why I didn't simply apply for a course waiver in the first place), but did not think the course would extend very much past what I do know.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 23 January 2009, 01:19:28 There is a constant battle between whether I want to brave the commute to class or just end my life. Other than that though, school (which is basically my whole life right now as usual) has been good. I can't know yet if I'm doing well, but I don't feel like I'm doing bad and I'm not falling into the moodiness of last year.
My new class is pretty cool, there's no one I actually dislike yet in my group for once, and only a couple people I find mildly annoying in the other group. The energy in the lab is a lot better than last year, where the lab was a depressing sink hole. It's a lot more like being in first year again, the energy. Also, and ASR will like this, my new Animation prof looks and sounds kind of like Robert Downey Jr. Which everyone had been telling me all last semester when I wasn't in school and I didn't believe they'd be correct. Also, he's pretty cool and getting crits from him is much better feeling process than with my previous Animation teachers. Add to that that my Design prof (who is still the same, as always) looks and sounds kind of like Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House and it's kind of more wicked. Also, we're gonna get the reportedly super bettiefied Asian model to pose for us soon. I've only heard of her from my friends, but apparently she's off the wall balls hot so that will either be great or not so great. I'm still losing sleep in lieu of doing homework all the time, though. Posted on: 22 January 2009, 19:23:17 P.S.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 23 January 2009, 04:25:35 So, yeah, I don't think I updated you guys on how my second stand-up performance went... but it went well. I had a heckler but I tore him an asshole and it was great, and fun.
I'm still not good at all. Like, this performance was better than my first one, but in comparison to every stand-up comedy performance ever, it was absolutely terrible. Though, I'm REALLY hard on myself. Like, I love Roomhates and I'm doing it for fun and experience, but I always hate the final product and I don't understand how people actually find it funny and keep watching. But sooooo many people do. I keep meeting people that I've never met around campus and they'll be like "Oh, hey, I saw Roomhates man, it was awesome! When's the next episode?" Friends keep showing other friends who keep showing other friends and it just kind of balloons and a LOT of people like it. But I think they're crazy. Anyway, we pretty much wrapped on filming today. The series was supposed to end with a rap-style music video sort of thing with rewritten lyrics to In The End by Linkin Park, but I finally decided at quite ltierally the last minute that this is a terrible idea. And we thought of something SO fantastic that I can't wait 'till this weekend when we're going to film most of it. It's just some hilarious stuff that'll really wrap up the whole series and be that single final exclamation point. I went to see a comedian tonight who was in town with some friends. Dan Cummins, maybe you've seen him on TV before. I've given up expecting other people around me to know these obscure comedians. He's actually pretty good, I've seen him before and I still liked him a lot tonight. One of my new buddies in the stand-up comedy club opened for him so that was pretty cool. Anyway, Dan Cummins was telling a joke about blind people, and Krysten, one girl I was with, leans in to me and says "Does he know there's an actual blind guy in the audience?" So I whispered loudly back to her: "IT'S A JOKE." And Dan heard this, so he was like "What's goin' on over here?" I didn't feel like explaining what actually happened, so I threw Krysten under the tire and said "She just didn't get the last joke." Which was awesome because then Dan went off on her for a good two minutes just making fun of her. I'm an asshole. She was not happy with me - I haven't seen someone get so embarrassed in years. Anyway, cool stuff is that I talked to Dan Cummins after the show. He's already met some of the guys in the Stand-Up Comedy Club. The cool part was that he didn't really try to give me pointers or advice, he was just genuinely chill about it and boosted my confidence and such. Overall, I've been in a good mood lately.

Thread Post by: ASR on 27 January 2009, 00:09:07 Okay, so Dan (the same Dan from Roomhates, yes) and I were about to start editing Episode 5, when I got the sudden craving for Chipotle, a wonderful restaraunt that I haven't been to in a while.
He says "So let's go" and I say "Somebody told me that there isn't a Chipotle around here" and he says "No, I'm pretty sure there is." So he types "Chipotle" in on Google Maps on his iPod Touch and we head for the bus stop and head out. It's very cold. After many wrong and missed buses, we finally trek about a mile to the spot that was marked for us on Google Maps. There is no Chipotle to be found. I gleefully make fun of the name of a restaraunt called "Bagle Beanery." Confused, we try to find a spot with WiFi so we can check Google Maps again. Obviously, the oldest, most run-down looking place on the block is the only place with working WiFi. We discover that when Dan typed in "Chipotle", it showed a bunch of restaraunts that have chipotle sauce. Not the restaraunt, Chipotle Mexican Grill. We would NOT be deterred. In the still freezing cold, we trekked back to a bus stop after checking for another Chipotle. This was becoming like a really bad version of Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, except the minorities are a Jew and an Asian, the White Castle is a Chipotle, and nobody's doing drugs. But we did basically live out the entire rest of the plotline. Including Neil Patrick Harris. Finally, we found a Chipotle... but it was closed for whatever reason. Ended up settling for Taco Bell and now everybody has to wait even longer for Episode 5 of Roomhates since we got nothing done. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 27 January 2009, 00:52:19 I'm running Windows 7 on a virtual machine right now.
I've already done a bunch of tweaking and for only using 3/4 of my processors (dual core 2.0GHz AMD) and 1.2 gigs of RAM it runs really well. Once it actually gets running it's better than Vista, even though I've pretty much tweaked it to look and behave like Vista. It's pretty sleek and runs better than I expected. My computer freezes for like 5 minutes whenever I try to do things at the same time on both though. That gets a little annoying. Also setting up the virtual machine to run right on top of all the data I have on my hard drive can be tough, as right now it treats Vista like it's a computer on the same network, with everything public. Sorry to hear about that Sano. Depending on what level retardation he was, he probably in control. Most are. And ASR I think it's funny that it searched for places with chipotle SAUCE. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 27 January 2009, 02:07:12 I forgot to mention that the restaraunt we accidentally went to first was that same Bagle Beanery that I had pointed out. We went in and asked if they had chipotle sauce, and then walked out when they said "yes, we do, why?"

Long day. Dogs, barking. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 30 January 2009, 06:08:45 Finished Episode 5 of Roomhates earlier tonight.
Called up a bunch of people and had a full screening of all 5 episodes. Finally got to the fifth episode, premiering to about 15 people gathered behind my computer in my room. It was uncomfortable. I'm glad I watched it with a crowd and got all the reactions because Episode 5 is really just... it's a different episode. You'll see when you watch it. If you watch it. I don't understand why so many people seem to actually really love Roomhates but I guess I'm okay with it. If I think it's bad and know that I can do a lot better, yet everyone really seems to like it, I can't wait until I actually do something that I personally find to be of a high quality. Admittedly, Episode 5 does have some pretty sweet stuff, and a great ending. If you can call it an ending. More of an all-out epic (in the actual sense of the word) high-intensity finale. It's uploading right now. Watch it tomorrow morning. Or whenever. Because that's it. I'm FINALLY done with Roomhates. Well, we're making DVD's and a blooper reel... but... ugh. Damn it. Why'd I remind myself? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 30 January 2009, 16:28:54 BLOOPER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 1 February 2009, 03:47:24 Dan suggested we do commentaries and I suggested he go keel over and die.
But the blooper reel should be good. We had a lot of fun. That quick 2-second shot of Becky (Emma) tying her shoe in Episode 4 took us, like, an hour to film because we couldn't stop laughing about how it sounded like she said "Menstrual Institution" the first time. Posted on: 30 January 2009, 16:53:57 Did a test DVD of Roomhates today without any bonus features. It actually... looks really nice. It feels a lot more professional when it's all nicely packaged the way I did it. Had to use Sony's #####ty Click To DVD software which allows VERY little customization, so that bugs me. They have to make professional DVD creation software where you can really design and customize the menus. Anyway, just got back from the Last Comic Standing show. This was the last show on the tour, here in Kalamazoo at Western Michigan University. Aren't we special? I only liked a couple of them, out of four. I think I only laughed twice during the winner's set. I liked the 3rd place guy the most. But overall, we had fun. A good night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

And took out Crystal Snail with just the X buster, not taking one hit.

Well I overdo it when I get to biceps (which we do while squatting, and right after squats makes the quads hurt like crazy). After my last set I couldn't stand up. My legs were stuck in the squatting position. When I did get up I got dizzy. So I'm standing there trying to get my brain working and I start to black out. Coach puts a hand on my shoulder right before I fall over, takes me out to the hallway, where I proceed to sit down and respond like I've just had a concussion. Then I start puking. Into a garbage can, but still. That hallway is the same one that that leads to the pool, and there was some little kids thing going on there. Roughly 20 kids saw me puking my guts out. It was awesome. I've been sore from the lift ever since, but besides that soreness I felt great after. Gonna maybe lift again tomorrow, and see how my body is holding up.

Got into second period still feeling #####ty, then I decided to sign out because I was gonna pass out. Got home and passed out.

The intention had been to kill windows 7 and replace it with xp, but instead of the second partition, partition 1 is the FIRST partition. I also forgot that my laptop has a hidden partition with all the system files.

SOOOOO MANY Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 15 February 2009, 09:24:05 I've had one girlfriend. One. And it didn't go over too well either, didn't end badly but it was more of a "why bother?" relationship. Ended abruptly.
Fatso, you're taking this day too seriously, I've never seen Valentines day as a day to walk over to a girl and play kiss ass and hope she becomes your "Valentine". It's more of a day to spend time with the one you love. I see it as a day where people where people gather up enough courage to ask the person they like to go out with them.. which I think is totally wrong, every day should be like that. Just go up to the girl and talk to her, I have. It's not hard at all. What's the worst that could happen? Consider the consequences and see that you're not losing much but a sliver of self-esteem and confidence, that is if you're not emotionally built for this #####. If she rejects you, tell yourself it's their loss, if you see nothing wrong yourself you'll come back like nothing happened. And yes I've been rejected, so I'm not just talking out my ass.

At the very least, it's heartwarming to see so many couples happy and together for a day. It's ridiculous to get bitter about being alone on such a day. Some people get angry about it because they feel like relationships are being shoved in their faces by anyone and everyone. Personally I think such people are just taking it way too personally. Doesn't change my opinion that it's a pretty useless holiday, but it'd probably be boring all year without some sort of heart-shaped festivity, you know? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 15 February 2009, 19:19:43 Exactly, those people ARE taking it way too personally.
When I see all those couples, it warms my heart a little bit. It's nice. I don't see why it should bother anyone. I definitely agree that people shouldn't need to have a holiday to give gifts to their lovers and be especially nice to them, but the point is that it's just another excuse to do so, not the only time. Of course it's a useless holiday. So are most of them. Even Halloween is entirely useless. And that hurts to admit. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 15 February 2009, 19:35:36 My problem with Valentine's Day is that I don't think you should need a special day to show you're love for someone.

Only day out of the year I can walk around in public without people saying "OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THAT?" Hahaha, no, yeah. You're right, they're all useless. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 15 February 2009, 19:56:42 There's a lot more point to Halloween. That's something that everyone has to do at the same time, it's a group activity where the group is huge. So it needs to be agreed upon that this is the day to do it.
The winter holidays as well as Thanksgiving incorporate whole families and friend groups so it has to be agreed upon too. Independence days are whole countries, and so on. But normal Valentine's stuff is pretty much always two people separate from everyone else, so really any couple can do that at any time. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 15 February 2009, 20:11:51 When I think of "point" I generally think something should be accomplished by the thing that has a point to it.
... if that makes sense. Winter family holidays are a decent reason to see family you like, but usually there's not much accomplished (unless you count presents). The purpose of Halloween is to get candy, though, and that's why I've never had a problem with it (although honestly it's been years since I've gotten any candy on Halloween).

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 16 February 2009, 05:07:41 Today I... today I found my inner muse once more.
I'M GOING TO WRITE A SCREENPLAY TODAY For the record, I actually did start this and it's going to be amazing. It's a highly fictionalized account of my experiences in life. The pitch I gave myself was "A story about the first 18 years of my life, focusing only on the 18th year, and squishing all the good bits from before then into it." I'm going to portray the alterna-me as infinitely cooler than I really am, but I'll be toying with that. I'll be playing the alterna-me main character. I'm considering naming the main character Alec Smart. I'm borrowing heavily from the postmodern 4th-Wall-breaking narration style of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. But I'll be taking it several steps further. Another way of describing the premise is... in recent years, I've tried to create my own personality. Build myself into a character. A specific kind, you know, the laid-back, cool, witty, wise-cracking guy that is tragically overflawed. I've always wanted to be a real-life version of that. This movie is my own experiences and lessons and messages AMPLIFIED and FUNNELED through this unreal version of myself. These are just ideas I'm throwing out there. I've only just written an extremely rough few pages of the introductory narration. I have about a million scenes visualized and tons of things that I want to cover, but I actually want to take this really seriously. And of course, I'm jinxing myself by talking about it and getting too excited before I really start. It's going to be a really big project. I'll see how it works out. Usually I get over-ambitious. The only way to make sure it gets done is to drag other people into the project. That's what I'm going to do tomorrow. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

So I went to talk to the guidance counselor today, regarding my future career, I chose to be a graphic designer but never felt that I liked it all too much. Yeah when people would find out I drew, I always got the "are you gonna be a graphic designer?" question back when I was young enough to not HAVE to know what I wanted to be yet, but old enough that people kept asking that crap. Which means from the ages of like 11 to 18. That question was always a problem for me, because most people didn't seem to know what a graphic designer actually DOES. Which is to say; Not drawing.

I'm SO sick of cafeteria food. It's terrible, and usually my only option. And the worst part is, I'm paying for it.

I could be eating out there with that money, getting different and better food every day. But instead, I paid for a meal plan for whatever reason. Though I do like the social aspect of the cafs.

During the filming of Roomhates, we wanted to keep the "set" consistent. I had just gone shopping before we started, so I had three full boxes of Goldfish. So, when I finished a box, I just didn't throw it out. You couldn't tell if they were full or not, so it stayed consistent. Then we ended up using them in an improv visual gag during the fifth episode where EVERYONE'S eating out of a box. And now, it's become a "thing" to always have three boxes out.

Bull#####. Well, I don't know about the illustration program at the Gonq, but our Animation program is actually far better. Sheridan just has a standing rep, but I know our program is actually better. Most of our profs went there anyway when Algonquin didn't exist and then created the program here, so if they say ours is better you can believe that (if you don't want to believe me although I am so right). Catch is that in the Sheridan program you get a B of A, which makes it easier to get a working Visa or green card if you want to work in the US. But that's kind of moot point for you right now, since most of the TV work (in North America at LEAST) is in Ottawa anyway. Plus, we get a week off in September every year to go to the Ottawa International Animation Festival, which is the biggest animation festival in the world and is kind of a big #####ing deal.

On the subject of fashion: I like suits and love to get all snazzed up, but they just don't WORK on me. I'm just too short to look good in a suit. I really like ties, though. It's probably from having to wear them at military school, but I just like having them on. Like, I had so much fun wearing one with my Shaun of the Dead costume. I want to wear one all the time kind of like Faraday on Lost. It just gives you some style and class if done right. BUT UNFORTUNATELY... my sense of fashion ultimately amounts to me trying to look like a cartoon character. Which means I have two outfits. They are: - green shirt and khaki shorts (spring and summer) - green shirt and blue jeans with green sweatshirt (fall and winter) That's it. Fantastic. For the record guys, I own 20 green shirts. It's great. Nobody's seen me out of a green shirt for this entire college year so far except for three occasions: - for marching band shows where I had to wear the uniform - the day MegaMan 9 came out, wore 8-bit MegaMan shirt - Halloween, wore Shaun of the Dead costume On St. Patricks Day, I plan on not wearing anything green at all just to be a dick. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 24 February 2009, 02:51:27 On St. Patrick's I'm gonna wear the shirt I'm wearing right now.
My Boston Celtics shirt with the mascot Lucky (a leprechaun) on and it says 1986 World Champions. So awesome. Plus there's a green sweater I'm gonna buy but I'll wear that for going out or whatever.

There were a lot of people trying out who aren't in the stand-up comedy club, which was surprising. A lot of the people near the end weren't funny at all, so that was a boost in my confidence. But for whatever reason, the people around me and including myself were all pretty much the funniest guys trying out. So it was just a clump of the best contenders in the middle. If I was personally judging, I know the exact five people I'd pick out of who I saw, and who I knew who auditioned before i got there. I did pretty well, but I'm still not sure if I'm gonna' make it or not. I'll let you guys know, though. I'm pretty excited. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Around the October/November, I was asked to join the university's concert band, even though I'm still a high school student. Anyway, I've been improving since I've joined but I still feel totally alienated there. The french horn player has decided he hates me. This guy is the very definition of a bitch. He speaks with that stereotypical gay voice (I'm so thankful I don't have this) and he's just...I don't know extremely rude to me. When I play he'll turn around and give me a look of annoyance, wide eyes no pupils and slacked mouth, he'll then sigh and roll his eyes, normally that shouldn't really bother you but after awhile it starts taking a bit of a toll...That and if you remember my earlier years here you know I tend to become emotional easily and this does include anger. IT SHOULDN'T BOTHER ME BUT IT IS AND I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. I've been told to just ignore him as he pretty much hates everyone minus a few very talented individuals in the program, he even made one of the friendliest, nicest girls cry. And he's trying to convince my best friend that I'm just not worth it. My friend used to fight for this guy's approval too, just because it's so damn hard to get, luckily he came to his senses and pretty much hates the bitch as well. Girl bullies are the worst.

Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 February 2009, 17:18:00 Okay, so last night, I totally cracked and even though I hate junk like Myspace, I got myself a Facebook.
It's nice. This morning, I packed my Wii and my Mega Man 9 press kit (and YuGiOh cards) to go to the Flea Market. Every now and then, after my college classes, I'd occasionally visit the Flea Market on Fridays and on display in the Videogame Dungeon, they have a system that plays both SNES and NES games. They have Mega Man 2, 3, 4, and 5 there, but recently sold MM2. I'd take a hold of the controller and wipe through each game with each visit. They're amazed. The clerks saw me and said they couldn't even beat Wily Stage 1 in MM2. They gave me a nickname: Captain N. I said sometime, I'd bring my Wii in and beat Mega Man 9 in front of their faces, because they claimed it to be the hardest Mega Man game out of them all, and I know I can breeze through it effortlessly. It's just to stroke my own ego. But now that I've got my press kit, I'm gonna stroke it even more. But due to a little thing called "Bike Week", the card shop and VGDungeon are closed. I brought my Wii and everything just to see their doors shut. Next time I'll call, but yeah. I'm also hoping to blatantly "advertise" the game so people that don't know about it will go on their Wii, Xbox, and PS3... and buy it. We'll see when I can do this thing. Anyway, I'm home all day. Got someone to replace my shift for work today. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 27 February 2009, 17:21:05 HAH.
Captain N. CAPTAIN NNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEERDDD! My friends are always amazed when I play MegaMan, a few of them played X collection and X8 for the PS2, and when I used the dash-slash trick in MMX6 to finish off every boss on the last stage, they shat themselves(seriously!). And this one frienemy that plays MegaMan(mostly the Zero series, ew!) has the balls to call me a poser! He's the kind of guy that you see on RPM, I'd so love to challenge the guy. ##### yeah dork-duel! Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 27 February 2009, 17:33:36 Oh yeah, they have Mega Man X there too. That's one of my favorite and most played childhood memories.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 2 March 2009, 13:22:37 I eventually got into the habit of doing them before I coded anything (at least object by object). Using Java speeds that along because many compilers, especially Eclipse, allow you to create your own documentation for your code, so it shows info on tool-tips for them.
But it's really only useful on larger, more complex projects than whatever it is you must be doing. Helps you figure out what you should be doing (especially in structured/imperative languages).

My day was pretty cool, instead of going to my first period I went to my third period class, since it's a portable, the teacher is pretty cool and lets any student chill there. We watched the Pursuit of Happiness. In my second we watched Eight Crazy Nights, and then back to my third period class, where we then watched Zoolander. It's the start of March Break, so even the teachers were laid back. I didn't even bother with fourth period, I just went home, but not before I heard some teacher at my school got beat up by a girl.

ARE YOU INSANE? It's solely responsible for a plethora of great season mint-flavored treats (like the Shamrock Shakes at McDonalds!) and it's a wonderful celebration of the color GREEN. THE COLOR GREEN. THAT'S THE BEST COLOR THERE IS. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Slugkid on 17 March 2009, 18:54:49 On my case, it's sort of like when people with surnames that mean something do the opposite of what their surname is. Like, there was this guy whose surname was "Badleg" or something like that (IN spanish, Malagamba) and he was a runner.

Sometimes I forget it's St. Patricks day, but even when I remember, I don't care. I wear a normal shirt as if it was a normal day. I go through a cycle of shirts in my closet so whatever I'm wearing is usually random, I don't normally like to pick and choose, I just pick out whatever clothing is next in line. ARE YOU INSANE?

What the #####? > me and some friends YEP. I haven't see too many people whose worn green so far... Yeah I was surprised that not many people in the Gonq were wearing green today but I'm sure they will tonight. I'd be going drinking if it wasn't #####ing Tuesday and I didn't have to get up at #####ing 6am on Wednesdays. My friend Brian and I, who are often more apathetic about this kind of thing, both wore green shirts today. Him in his green Boston Red Sox shirt with their mascot on it (the green monster), and me in a similar-idea shirt for the Boston Celtics (1986 World Champions with their mascot Lucky, who is a leprachaun) and we along with Ian my animation teacher who looks like Robert Downey Jr. were surprisingly the only people wearing green in the class. And the class has girls that are the type to do this kind of thing. So lame when people don't take part. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

WoW is nowhere near as geeky as DnD, thank you very much. 4.0 is giving those of us who've been playing for a while both good and bad things. Pros: Action Points You don't have to memorize spell lists Cons: No Druid class New character sheets to get used to I'd give a more in-depth list, but I haven't played 4.0 in over two months, and don't remember much else. I just remember that I didn't like how it flowed in gameplay, nor did I enjoy the campaign setting. It's too simplified with less customization, really it is. We won't play the RPGA (Wizards sanctioned DMs and games) anymore because they're ONLY playing 4.0, and because you can't play anything more evil than N.

I went to work today and there was a new guy. If you know what happened, explain it to me. [spoiler]ChaosvortexDS (11:27:44 PM): New guy at work, forgot to mention this. ChaosvortexDS (11:27:48 PM): Named Chris ChaosvortexDS (11:27:58 PM): And he goes to Daytona State too, but I didnt recognize him. ChaosvortexDS (11:28:12 PM): Anyway, I'm talkin to Joe, manager, and Im positioned on back sandwiches. ChaosvortexDS (11:28:24 PM): Chris is on Fries and is being taught, lectured, trained, etc. ChaosvortexDS (11:28:47 PM): Anyway, I'm distracted while talking to Joe, and I decide to check on my position. ChaosvortexDS (11:29:08 PM): As I'm heading back to the sandiwich station, I'm aware that someone is laying on the floor near the fryers. ChaosvortexDS (11:29:16 PM): Nick bends down, and it's Chris on the floor. azarathteen (11:29:22 PM): ???? ChaosvortexDS (11:29:26 PM): He looks up and says "You okay? You hurt your head?" ChaosvortexDS (11:29:33 PM): I said "What happened? He slipped and fell?" ChaosvortexDS (11:29:40 PM): "No, he just randomly collapsed..." ChaosvortexDS (11:29:50 PM): And he reached out his hand, I grabbed it, and helped him up. ChaosvortexDS (11:29:58 PM): And we asked him what happened... ChaosvortexDS (11:30:01 PM): no response... ChaosvortexDS (11:30:05 PM): His head was swaying. ChaosvortexDS (11:30:12 PM): Instantly, we're like "This cant be good..." azarathteen (11:30:13 PM): seizureeee ChaosvortexDS (11:30:32 PM): And we're trying to hold him together, getting low to his legs, supporting him.. ChaosvortexDS (11:30:53 PM): He walks over to the back drink station, and sits over it like it's some sort of sink. ChaosvortexDS (11:31:15 PM): Instinctively, I think he's gonna vomit so I close the ice bin, and I get behind him halfway, and look at his face. ChaosvortexDS (11:31:23 PM): He sways back and forth and ask if he's alright. ChaosvortexDS (11:31:41 PM): All of a sudden, he just falls down, and I catch part of him, and Joe catches his other half, and we bring him down to the ground. ChaosvortexDS (11:31:59 PM): We're just almost panicking, and Keith is wondering what's happening. azarathteen (11:32:06 PM): seizureeee ChaosvortexDS (11:32:10 PM): I lean over to his face, and stare right at this kid, and his eyes are not moving. ChaosvortexDS (11:32:13 PM): It's like he just died. ChaosvortexDS (11:32:30 PM): Finally, he regains conciousness, and stands up. ChaosvortexDS (11:32:42 PM): We escort him to the dining room and we ask him a few questions. ChaosvortexDS (11:32:47 PM): Joe says it was 3 things. ChaosvortexDS (11:32:54 PM): 1) Either he's dehydrated. ChaosvortexDS (11:33:00 PM): 2) He's too tired and hungry ChaosvortexDS (11:33:02 PM): 3) Seizure. azarathteen (11:33:11 PM): seizureeee ChaosvortexDS (11:33:16 PM): He had bananas and water before coming to work he says. ChaosvortexDS (11:33:40 PM): And Nick says it was the smell of the fryer smoke. He's not used to it and it affected him. ChaosvortexDS (11:33:46 PM): So, we told him to rest for a while. ChaosvortexDS (11:33:56 PM): And I was really worried about this kid. ChaosvortexDS (11:34:11 PM): Anyway, we moved him to front sandwiches because the fryer is obviously a problem. azarathteen (11:34:35 PM): good thing he didn't pass out onto the fryer... ChaosvortexDS (11:34:41 PM): And he was near the grill, and I talked to him and said "If you're about to pass out again, move away from the grill, as quickly as possible." ChaosvortexDS (11:34:50 PM): "Last thing we need is your face on a hot grill." azarathteen (11:34:55 PM): yeah ChaosvortexDS (11:35:25 PM): He has a better chance of landing on the grill than the fryer. ChaosvortexDS (11:35:28 PM): Either way it's bad though. azarathteen (11:35:52 PM): has it happened to him before? ChaosvortexDS (11:36:01 PM): He said that the 2nd time he collapsed, even though I swear he was unconcious, he said he was concious, could hear everything, but he just blacked out with his eyes.[/spoiler] Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I should see a "dramatic difference" in five days with the amoxicillin, and I've got an albuterol inhaler so I can actually breathe without gagging and half-drowning. I'm so happy. It's like being able to come up for air after spending a day half-submerged in a viscous fluid. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 26 March 2009, 02:19:16 Wow, congratulations.
... oh, this reminds me. About three days ago I stumbled into the dining room half asleep. I didn't do it right. So my smallest toe on my right foot is, once again, broken (just fractured). This happened about three years ago, but the break then was worse; I had merely fractured it then, but then it snapped when I was putting on pants. I also did not do it right that time. Anyway, it's just the small toe and it should heal up quickly. Not really much pain, but I'm keeping it bound for a while. Curiously I managed to find the gauze and tape from the last time this happened. This also made me recall that inside of my computer holding the power button in place is some of the same medical tape. It has been holding for two years. This is stuff that just peels right off of everything, yet it has held the power button on. For two years. In a computer. Curious. Now, today I had to run (drive and limp) by my old high school and get my transcript so I could figure out what my GPA was, and thus complete part of a job application which, for some reason, required high school GPA. I hazard a guess that it is a generalized form. The job is as a software developer for a company in Dayton, Ohio. It is a job. In my field. It is the only thing this year I've managed to get so close to. ... needless to say I don't have my hopes up, but it's a job and I'm going to try my best to get the damn thing. Hopefully I did not royally screw up the aptitude test; I was unable to finish the math word problem section or the alpha sequence section, but at least I nearly finished the latter. The only problem now is figuring out how I should get to a job interview should I make it to that point. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 26 March 2009, 03:34:40 I always put something to the point of "I don't know" or a blank line in high school GPA.

This one is pretty close to where I was (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ5cxnO7tas) and this is also basically how I saw things, except that I'm short and most electro fans are tall-ish Eastern European guys so I had to jump higher than them to see stuff, but I did alright. When the camera pans left I'm pretty sure I was in the show somewhere (I'm looking to see if we got in any videos for when we put photos up. When some people went to see Justice a couple years ago they found themselves in a video, which is wicked.) but I can't go frame by frame to find us and youtube doen't scroll video precisely so I only see blurs. I have a bunch of clips left to check out though. This one is off near the bar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_1A2wWnS9Q), so the outskirts, but has good hype and I just want to show the scope of this joint. The whole mother#####er was a mosh pit.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Lunchebox on 4 April 2009, 08:44:27 All in all it was a pretty good day.
I got back from a date a bit ago, my first one since I became single again, and it was pretty awesome. The Natural History Museum in Los Angeles does this thing called First Fridays. It took three busses, but I made it down there and met up with her. The first part is a big group discussion about whatever the topic is (Tonight's was Darwin), and I have heard they're pretty fun and interesting. When I say heard, it's because when we got there, the discussion room was already filled to capacity. We ended up chilling in the lounge area, listening to the DJ, and not being able to buy all the alcohol around us. It was pretty cool, we really hit it off, we like a lot of the same books, and generally had a bunch in common. At around 8, we knew the little concert thing was starting, so we hit the foyer, and stood near the front. The first one up was Time Fite, and he was awesome and hilarious. He and his assistant Leon were great, and the music was jammin'. Leon ended up going up a ladder, with a water bottle, put it between his legs, and sprayed the audience during the "##### on You" song (which actually was a good song) and we got splashed. We were both pretty tired, but we stuck around for The Bus Driver. He was great too, but I liked Tim Fite better, if only because he was funnier, and had a lot more audience participation. I bought both his CDs after. We had a lot of fun, and she felt bad about me taking a 2 hour bus ride to get there, so she insisted on giving me a lift to my sister's place, since I was crashing here for the night anyway, if only because it's closer than home. I got a kiss on the cheek, a hug, and a book to read, and an agreement to go on another date. So that rocked. I hadn't eaten all day, so me and my sister grabbed some Burger King, and we stopped to get gas. Afterwards, her gear shift wasn't working. We, eventually, figured out we could use her key to unlock the gear shift, and start the car in Neutral, but the gearshift needs fixing. All in all, a good night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 4 April 2009, 09:11:05 It's a wonder I still haven't had a single sip of alchohol or a single hit of weed. I haven't drank too much myself. However, the most I've drank so far was this Thursday and Friday. I had Sake, and I was very much disappointed with it, seeing as anime made it sound like the best thing ever. It just tasted like watered-down wine (well, it IS rice wine) to me, and I'll probably never drink it again. Now I do wish I had some actual quality wine, just like I used to drink back at home. I didn't think I would miss drinking a glass a day. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 10 April 2009, 16:26:55 Last night was my first date (with you know who).
BEST DAY EVER. I went all out and put a lot of thought into it to make it special. We went to Fazoli's to eat, Daytona Lagoon for arcades, Go-Karts, Laser tag, and miniature golf. Afterwards, I took her to the beach. Just a few details about it: [spoiler]There's a lot of work I've done before the date, but at Daytona Lagoon, when going through the arcades, we came across Guitar Hero Arcade (which is practically GH3), and this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart_Arcade_GP). I never thought I'd meet the arcade in my life so we HAD to play it. It was so much fun. It doesn't play like any other Mario Kart game (not even Mario Kart Wii) because it's hard to steer, but it was still just awesome. You get 6 "cups" with 4 tracks, 2 of which are the same thing but reversed. The cups are Mario, DK, Wario, Pac-Man, Bowser, and Rainbow. We did one of each except for Wario and Bowser. Characters that I can list playable at the top of my head are Mario, Luigi, Wario, Toad, Yoshi, Peach, DK, Bowser, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Blinky. There's MUCH more to the game than that Wikipedia article describes. If you ever see this machine, you HAVE to try it. Nearly all the items are brand new (Oil slip, twisters, pellets, seeds), and some familar ones too (Green shell, Banana peel, Thunder cloud). Going to the beach, it was a full moon and the light from the moon reflected on the ocean and just made the night great. So much more I could mention. It was just so great.[/spoiler] Also, Dragonball is out, and that just might be our second date. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 10 April 2009, 16:33:04 NO.

The police were all "GET DOWN GET DOWN!" and that's when I woke up. They arrested the guy and they found his cell phone in my back yard. They took him away and there were still cops everywhere, and then Jehovas Witnesses came to my door and wanted to give me a track to something at their church place thing. I was like um okay.

It's primarily a Reservoir Dogs homage (of the diner scene in the beginning and then the slow-motion walking scene), but at the end it dives into Kill Bill territory with the narrow Lucy Liu hallway walk.

There's this one girl that I've known for about 4 years, first met in grade 9 when a friend introduced us. And lately I've been liking her a lot more, she really grew into a person I really dig, and we've always got along great so everything between us is all gravy. She's real wicked too! She has the same taste in music and humor as I do, and she loves anime, but I like it too so I'm good with that! She has dark brown hair and she's real cute, exactly what I like in a girl! She has this innocent devil feel to her which is so cool! She acts really cute and crazy sometimes, and she thinks dinosaurs are totally cool and I love how smart and funny she is!! AHHH I WANNA GET WITH'ER SO BAAAD! D: I have total confidence that I can get her, and I think we'd make an awesome couple.. but the distance between us is so BALLS. I moved outside of the city so I don't get to see her a lot.. if I still lived downtown I'd be with her a lot more.. aahh... #####.. so angry and confused! >:( ??? Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I tried to be as non-objective as possible and got Wood Man. Who knows why. Quizzes like this are geared less to give you an interesting bit of information than they are to tell you what you want to hear. You have no idea how many stupid "What character/element/actor/etc. are you" quizzes I've taken. They're all fundamentally flawed because they're all subjective and made by people with their own very polarized ideas about things.

Just me thinking out loud. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 20 April 2009, 22:37:39 I'm going to sell my Wii.
I'm going to see what I can get for it, as it's a used Wii, with GH3 and GHWT, DBZ Budokai Tenkaicki 3, a Guitar, a 1 GB SD card (maybe), and some old Gamecube games with 2 controllers and a memory card. What do you think? $250-300? The 360 Elite that releases with Halo 3 and Fable 2 for 400 bucks comes out in May, and I intend to get that to replace my Wii. I'll use it a helluva lot more, anyways.... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: NovaMan XP on 20 April 2009, 23:28:16 The Wii will probably get you $75-$150, games will hardly be around $5-$20, depending on how recent it was released. I think when I sold X7 I got like 25 cents for it, because they sell it used to $3 (and I bought that piece of ##### for $50!).
...wait, where are you selling it? GameStop? If you can get $300 selling it to a friend, do that instead. You'll probably get ripped off selling to GameStop, to be honest. I sold Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 8, and a A LOT of PS2/GameCube games and I only got $40. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 20 April 2009, 23:33:39 Sell it on Craigslist or Kijiji or something. And it could go $200 for the system, that's how cheap they're selling it around me.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 20 April 2009, 23:48:20 I'm selling it to a person, not gamestop.
Gamestop will give me 130 for the system, 10 bucks for each game, 10 bucks for the guitar. Yeah, helk no. I'm thinking, selling to a person, the Wii for 175-200, GHWT with Guitar for 30-40, everything else for like 20-40 bucks. Wavebirds are expensive. Also, I might sell my DS as well.

Only half, though. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 22 April 2009, 18:30:54 The best Canadian shows are finishing up now. They're all comedies, though (actually not "though", "obviously". "They're all comedies, obviously").
Pop culture shows tend to suck in general, so I only bother with maybe one or two, if they're on and I'm not doing something worthwile. Okay, firstly, you didn't know Miley CYRUS's father was Billy Ray CYRUS? He probably didn't know who Billy Ray Cyrus was in the first place and that's EXTREMELY forgivable. But if someone did know who Billy Ray Cyrus was and didn't catch on to who his daughter is, I'd find that pretty weird. On to more pressing matters, today I handed in my last final(final final?) of the semester in Life Drawing. But for whatever reason (that being my LD teacher is a knob) we still had a real class. Worth it though, because we had some model we've never had before who was a young woman. Oh no big deal there except wait what her body was OFF THE CHAIN. Like really though, he had the hottest fig I've seen on a nude model since I was in high school (2004) and we had this 19-year old siryn come in. Like... I'm a pro, I generally detach from the fact this is a person and just draw the object in front of me. Nude models are props. But every now and then today I'd snap back thinking "Ffff##### she's hot!" It might be a combo of her extremely kickin' bod and me being tired, but whatever. I wasn't the only one to think so, so there's that. At point she was leaning on this cube, I was drawing her mid section and her breathing would open and close a gap between her and the cube and it was thinking "..... hot abs... hot hot abs." But this was all preppered through the four hour class so it's not as bad as sounds, I functioned normally. I'm used to seeing naked people all the time. Who ISN'T used to seeing naked people all the time though (well probably) is the computer technician who had to come fix the computer in the middle of morning and had to walk in where this naked bettie was. That's funny to me. I didn't even think about until my friend mentioned how she introduced herself afterward, and he mentioned how that was probably awkward for both of them. We don't really think of this kind of thing since it's so mundane to have a naked person about, and clearly my teacher who just let the guy in and strode him across while we were drawing didn't think of it either. Anyway just one five hour class tomorrow where we'll basically nothing I'm done for months! Now I'm gonna go do... Whatever the ##### I want! TADOW HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 22 April 2009, 18:38:57 I've never drawn from a nude model before.

Once it got past a certain point, she went in herself. She would also offer to help me or ask me to let her do it when I did clean.

She also did this whilst I was in the hospital (to our apartment), though that was appreciated, as it was in terrible condition, and my constitution wasn't the best. It didn't stay that way, though. I love clutter. I'm a chaotic person, and completely uncluttered environments feel unnatural to me. I also have a hard time not adapting to the state of chaos that comes of a messy house, and I think that part of it is enjoying the freedom (stupid, I know) of not having my mother come in and clean, though, I also get immense satisfaction out of cleaning when I'm properly motivated. Maybe it has to do with some self-detrimental thing from when I was younger, I don't know. Yeah. Similar but not. It's more about privacy than anything, for me. ---- In other news, I have a tub full of laundry I washed last night, and nowhere to hang it. I know I'm probably grasping at straws here, but does anyone know a way to efficiently air-dry clothes without a clothesline or the ability to spread them out on the lawn? I would string up a line outside, but in a town where unattended roadside items translates to "free #####," I'd rather not lose what clothing I have. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 28 April 2009, 18:54:28 I think that, in the long run, I would like a drying rack. We've got a well-ventilated main room, and a small rack would even work in the kitchen.
I ended up having to bum quarters from my mom to dry the load this time, but the issue was mostly due to the size of the load, as I couldn't separate the items well enough to wring them out properly. I enjoy hand-washing, and they seem to get cleaner that way. (It's also better for the earth.) If I could save up enough, I'd also get a functional wringer. I used to have a large yard with a clothesline that worked just fine (as long as laundry day was sunny), and I honestly miss it. As it is, though, I just need to remember to do small loads, it seems.

I'm sure you mean delicious. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 30 April 2009, 05:16:32 Speaking of delicious, I'm went to the doctor today. This might not seem delicious, but I'm on a snazzy new diet (as explained by the Mayo Clinic's website) called the Mediterranean diet (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mediterranean-diet/cl0001).
It's pretty interesting, being based on traditional foods from countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. Lots of fruit, very little red meat (it's higher than sugars on the pyramid), and moderate consumption of red wine is strongly encouraged (for me, as I don't have liver conditions). The dietician's appointment needs to be made still, but in medical news, my blood sugar is normal, my vitamin D levels are deficient (perfectly normal for up here, and I get my 50,000mg. weekly pills for that tomorrow), and my cholesterol is surprisingly high, hence the dietary stuff. I also need to actually exercise for cardio (as opposed to exercising for transportation reasons), but I've got a plan for that which includes possibly training up to triathlon level and competing. Who knows? I might even do a leg of the Ski-to-Sea race next year. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Yesterday, I went to the Game Development open house at Algonquin because I have a few friends that were in it. Played my friends' games and checked out their stuff. I half-thought this could happen but didn't think about it enough but this girl I'm into showed up with some other friends of mine because they're all really tight with a friend of mine in Game Dev. But that was a good thing 'cause I went out and partied with them. Was an awesome night. Today I went shopping with some friends and bought my friend a ~80 buck birthday gift. I had a list of stuff I needed to get and I didn't get a thing on it though, hah. Came home and missed most of the Celtics game playing Fallout 3. Tomorrow I work all day and then I'm going to an Animator's party at Helsinki (a club in the Byward Market downtown). Might be lame, but I've invited to a couple other things in the area that night so I could ditch. Saturday we're going out for that friend's birthday. To Live Lounge or something. Should be cool.

Thread Post by: Mikero on 5 May 2009, 20:10:10 Soo Friday was this animators party at Helsinki, which I thought was gonna suck so I had a couple backups ready. Marie-Ève and Marie-Hélène said to call them to go to Tila Tequila, where they were, if it sucked, or call Konrad to go to Angus' birthday at Pier 21. These are all in the same area of town and pretty close. But the animator party turned out really good so I stayed. Afterwards my friends and I were cutting through McDonald's to get to the busses and surprise I met up with Marie, Marie, and Konrad there so I got to hang out with them anyway. So that was wicked.
Saturday was my friend Sonia's birthday so we went to Live Lounge and it was real good. We ended up on the radio a bit and got some coupons for Subway. Went to Dunn's after for food that soooo damn good. Sunday I wasn't going to do anything but Marie-Ève texted me about watching Moto GP at Wawa's so I went and afterwards Marie, Wawa, Cat, Konrad and I got eats at Summerhays and went to Konrad's and hung out there all night. First time I've seen The Life Aquatic in years. The next day (yesterday) we got greek food ooooh man was it good. Portions are massive at this place, which is kind of good after drinking. When I got home I played some Saints Row and starting drawing stuff for a game Wawa wants to make for this Microsoft contest thing. I could almost say I'm tired of having fun, but I'm not really.

I may start a new art project thing based on vampire killers, well A vampire killer. It'll follow the story I saw in my dream, which is actually pretty awesome; for a dream.
Basically this is how the dream/story is: • 3 beginner Vampire Killers, they're pretty awesome at what they do • They decide to tackle an infamous castle, rumored to be Dracs etc. etc. • They get scared out by the creepy butler while sitting in the lobby, they run outside to find their vamp van totaled, they gotta walk out through the entrance with their big bags of gear. • They get attacked by monsters, two of them die, one barely escapes. • Remaining guy passes out on the road, picked up by a guy and a girl in a car • Much later, the last Vamp Killer decides to go back and finish the job. That's the intro skimmed down for ya, the guy and the girl don't play a massive role in the story later on. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

But then I realized you were serious. What I'm saying is, VAMPIRES SUCK BUT DON'T LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE THIS'LL BE PRETTY COOL. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: preventerWIND on 11 May 2009, 20:48:15 I'm actually pretty tired of the whole classic vampire dealio myself, with broads in corsettes and men with valor and courage or some such bull#####. This is just a fella jumpin' into a castle for a vampire beat down. Nothing classical about this, he's going in to bitch up a few vamps.
I'm also a huge Castlevania freak, I'll be working that in, as in some cameos and mentioning of the game itself; the main character "ONLY plays Castlevania". I'll be working on some original concepts as well, like some castle traps, monsters, weapons and the such like. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: ASR on 13 May 2009, 21:14:04 And oh my god. I loved the Magic School Bus. That was my FAVORITE cartoon as a kid, up there with Tiny Toon Adventures and Rugrats.
The episode where they shrink down and get eaten by the ginger glasses kid is the best one. I'm pretty damn sure his name was Arnold. I only remember the names of him, Carlos, and Ms. Frizzle. The best thing about Ms. Frizzle is the she was the perfect stereotypical kindergarten-type teacher, except on a lot of cocaine. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

And it was my favorite show too.

Like, I remember that Ms. Frizzle's first name is Valerie. And that Carlos has a wheelchaired brother names Mikey! And that in Ms. Frizzle's youth she had a band called the Frizzlettes.
Today's episode was the ant one, where the bus turns into a Mallow Blaster and they walk around inside an ant colony. Very boss. Up there with the space episode where Arnold takes his helmet off on Pluto and flash freeze solid because his cousin Janet is a bitch. ... If it's on everyday I'm so gonna watch them all again.

She recently cheated on her boy friend(Mark); who is a good friend of mine too. I'm not going to go into details but she's no lying whore, that's for sure (but that's beside the point). Today she was having some odd feelings about Mark, she sent him a letter saying it's best they not talk to each other more because of this whole fiasco, Mark'O told me he wanted to beat her boyfriends ass in now, which I would have helped because the guy is a total chump. I told him to wait it out and let me see what I could do-- I talked to Ashley and told her it was a stupid move to send that letter, and said she should stick it out, and gave her a nice Churchill quote, "When you're going through hell.. keep going.". She seemed to really like it, because after Ashley and Mark met up, they got back together! And she said my support helped her so much, and since I'm such a close friend to her she decided that if she were to ever have kids, I'd be the godfather. Ahah..

Not really, I didn't look like anything. he's a comedian I really like but not like super famous or anything so I was trying to remember his name and I remembered it ONLY after he'd gone in. I would've gone to see him if I knew/it wasn't my frienemy's birthday party next door. I got him Lego Batman for his XBox. Which he could have been more excited about because I'm pretty sure I kicked everyone else's gifts collective asses in price AND gift awesomeness. A) My gift cost more than our other friends except maybe one but that probably didn't cost as much as mine. And B) Take this into account; He just got a 360 and only has a few games, he likes Lego a bunch, and he's a MASSIVE fan (in size and geekometry) of Batman. I kicked his birthday's #####ing ass. This morning I met up with some of the people from last night for breakfast at the Elgin Street Diner (which by the way Winduh, is open twenty-four--what--hours) and said frienemy's uncle who works there payed for us so I got stuffed for the low price of a few hours less sleep.

This Friday I've got a gig. Very much looking forward to it.

Oh, and D) find a good spot to actually film from.

Which leads me to my next thing, I've recently found of a bunch of old videos and stuff and I'm in the process of getting them all together to upload to facebook and such. I had a bunch of videos from the final show by said band that I was really proud of and wanted to put up, but I can't find them and I'm really pissed.

I've spent most of the day at a friend's house for a birthday gathering thing. They have two dogs. They have two dog cages. I was getting ready to go home, but one of our friends had an idea: "Hey, guys, if I go into this dog cage, will you give me five bucks?" Obviously, everyone said no. Even though it was a tiny cage. We had just changed the channel and Louis CK's most recent stand-up special was on Comedy Central, so I knew I wasn't going to actually leave until it was done. So, I had my own idea: "Dude, if you get in the cage and STAY there until I leave, I'll give you TEN dollars." Because I didn't plan on leaving for another thirty minutes. And like I said, it was a tiny cage. I hand him the ten dollars, and tell him if he gets out of the cage before I leave, he has to give it back. He manages to fit inside, and everyone is cracking up and having a good time, because this is funny. He literally cannot move in there, it looks extremely uncomfortable, etcetera - I knew he was going to get out of the cage and I'd get my ten dollars back. About 10 minutes later, he gives up. "Not worth it." He gets out of the cage and then refuses to give my ten dollars back. Suddenly, I had another idea. "Slap bet." The two friends in the room who have seen How I Met Your Mother instantly looked at me, grinning. "What?" "Slap bet." I know this isn't technically a slap bet since it kind of just TRANSFORMED into one, but my god was it just as fun: "What are you talking about?" "You can keep the ten dollars if you let me slap you three times right now, or five times at any random point for the rest of our lives." After some convincing, he finally agreed to it. He chose the three quick slaps, unfortunately. The five forever would have been more fun. But hoo boy. *SLAP!* "OW, #####, OW, OW, THAT REALLY #####ING HURT, GODDAMNIT" etc. etc. So much fun. "THIS ISN'T WORTH IT, I'M DONE, TAKE YOUR TEN DOLLARS" "Dude, you already got one slap! Just take two more like a man!" "...f-fine..." "I'll do it gentler this time, just close your eyes and-" *SLAP!* "WHAT THE ##### MAN, NO WARNING?! #####. #####. ##### THAT HURT." Such a fantastic night. "Oh, sorry, next time I'll-" *SLAP!* JUST AWESOME. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND REAL-LIFE SLAP BETS. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 25 May 2009, 02:02:22 Nice nice.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 25 May 2009, 04:54:52 Nice nice. Ha, now that this happened, my friends have been trying to make everything into a slap bet all day today. Over such tiny things, like whether or not someone is going to make a basket in a basketball game (I should either learn to like basketball or stop hanging out with people who do.) But yeah, nobody's following through with any of them and I told everyone we have to not do it for a while anyway so the next time will be as funny. And it has to actually be something big. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 25 May 2009, 05:43:44 Oh! By the way I've been in pain for weeks because one of my doctors is either retarded or doesn't know what Crohn's Disease is which would be forgiveable if he wasn't a damn doctor.
I DID have to give it a few weeks, before you say anything. Something about giving it time to set in and make sure it's working properly, which it isn't. 380 dollars down the drain; 320 to treat an auto-immune disorder, the rest to negate the treatment. (Insurance takes 90% off the cost of this drug, it's not covered by OHIP) I'm going to call tomorrow. And... #####, I'm sorry, I don't complain much, but I guess I felt like doing so for once. I think of my condition as having a bimonthly period for two weeks and that's not so bad considering it's probably not as bad as having your period anyway. And I deal with that, despite it being costly and that I feel kind of bad for squeezing an insurance company for thousands of dollars every two months which might be a weird thing to feel but I do. This new ##### just makes it much worse though and it's annoying having difficulty working up to par with increased pain and energy deficiency. Not to mention my mental state in general keeps getting worse. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 26 May 2009, 04:26:39 I just imagined slapping a dead guy multiple times at an open casket funeral. You and I, we have unique minds.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 29 May 2009, 20:27:00 So, yesterday, Annie got me a new wallet!
You've probably seen it before, it's from Hot Topic. It's in the shape of an NES controller, with the inside of the wallet filled with 8-bit coins from Super Mario Bros. Aside from that, it's better than my old wallet for sure. I can fit more stuff in this one. And yeah, I dunno if it was mentioned before, but the past week has been filled with nothing but rain and flood. The lake outside Annie's house flooded out into the streets and into everyone's houses. She has flood insurance and it didn't touch much (she lives a little bit higher up), but a lot of neighbors aren't so lucky. Although the water is back off the streets, the carpet from most of the rooms of the house has been stripped away and is being replaced soon. That's just about all that's damaged. Countless other homes on the block have ruined furniture and priceless items though, so it really sucks. Also, those Mega Man shoes? She ordered them, and is now wearing them. They're actually pretty cool to see in person. I'm tempted to get some. *plays with wallet* Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

She never called. Not once. There are some other sketchy things going on, too. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 2 June 2009, 02:36:38 Today I finally got off my ass and went to the closest cemetery I could find to take photos for the backgrounds of the first episode of The Simple Complex.
Most of the episode takes place at a cemetery, so, yeah. I figured I'd need a lot of pictures for different angles and stuff. I went a little overboard. 121 photos. I felt like a stereotypical art student at a graveyard for some "dark" photos for a portfolio! But it was actually pretty cool, and I got some great stuff. I took a handful of more artsy ones that won't be used as backgrounds, but are still really cool. I still feel like a lame-ass art kid, though. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I checked up more info on my surname this evening, know what I found? Shut your mouth because I'm gonna tell you anyway. Drumonde is the spelling variation of Drummond, a Celtic clan (that's right Mikey boy, this kiddo's a real pseudo genuine Celtic!). The meaning behind the name is just as cool, it means High Ground, which is just an awesome word pair FYI. Given to one bad mother#####er going by the name Maurice, this one particular hot shot was awarded this name, this honor, because of the way he so gallantly conducted a ship through a goddamn storm, this just goes to show it's in our heritage to tame some stormy ass weather. So check this, our clan has a motto, does your clan have a motto? That's cool if they do, too bad it's not as tough as ours. It's "Gang Warily", don't speak gaelic or some #####? Google that you whore face. It means "Go Carefully!", not in the way that pussies say "Be safe!", hell naw, it's a goddamn warning to outsiders of this clan, telling THEM to watch their #####! And if that ain't badass enough for you, we got our own CREST. (http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1773/50092318.png) Do you have a crest? I bet it's a crest of a bum with a penor penetrating it. Symbolizing how you take it in the BEE-HINE-DUH. So yeah, that's a brief history lesson on where my badassitude originates from. Gang Warily, Chumps. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: ASR on 12 June 2009, 15:27:42 Yeah, the thing about my stupid friends is that they all know I love MegaMan and none of them actually play it, but when they do they think it's the hardest and most difficult game ever. So naturally, they must assume it'd be impossible to beat some levels without getting hit.
I hadn't even played it in months! To be honest I wasn't sure if I could do it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: NovaMan XP on 13 June 2009, 04:46:34 All those levels are actually pretty easy with the Jewel Satellite, but did you have to fight the bosses too?

Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 13 June 2009, 05:35:08 Dunno if I mentioned this, but at the Flea Market around here, there's a gameshop where the people that run the place know I love Mega Man and they put of Mega Man games on the NES for me to annhilate. They said Mega Man 9 is the hardest one out of the bunch (and I know it's not THAT hard), so I brought in my Wii one day just to show off.
They were amazed that I could kill that fire dragon at Magma Man's stage less than 5 seconds (with concrete shot) and impressed with other certain boss battles.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 13 June 2009, 17:50:17 I've been a bit nervous the past few days because today I a road test for my G2 exit. Meaning I'd be getting my G.
For non Ontarions; The G1 entrance is a written test, if you pass you get your G1 licence (which is like a learner's permit, you can drive ONLY with riding shotgun who has a had a full licence for 4+ years or so, can't drive on the highway, and you can't drive on roads that 80kph+, or drive between 12am-5am, and can't have more than 0% blood alcohol). You hold this for a minimum of 12 months before taking the G1 exit test; To get your G2. You can reduce that time to 8 months by completing "a Ministry-approved driver education course" AKA driver's ed. The G1 exit test consists of a road test on normal streets. Pretty basic but it's supposed to be the hardest of the test. When you pass the test you get your G2, and can drive alone as much as you want, but you still have to have your blood alcohol at a flush zero. It is basically a probationary licence, with only 4 demerit points or so. There's also a couple restrictions for 12am-5am if you're a teenager but it's nothing big. You hold this licence again for a minimum or 12 months before you can take the G2 exit. The G2 exit is another road test for you to obtain your G licence, it's supposedly a lot easier than the G1 exit. The main point of the test is to check that you can drive on the freeway or on any four lane divided highway over 80kph. In Ottawa you tend to go on a freeway--the Queensway (417)--for this, where the limit is 100. Sometimes they give you extra things to do from the G1 exit, like parallel parking and stuff. The G licence is a full licence, and you can have blood-alcohol around like 0.4% or something between 0% and intoxication. So today I had my G2 exit test. I put it off this long because the main difference between the G and G2 is the alcohol thing so I didn't really give a #####, but my licence was going to expire this coming November. I was nervous but I apparently I did well, though I don't really think so. It was... An ordeal. Instead of it just being highway and a joke like it is for everyone else, I had to do a lot of the regular stuff from the first road test. Had to do an emergency stop (which I totally forgot how to do PROPERLY but I guess I did it right), 3-point turn/K-turn, and what I was dreading; Parallel park. See, I'm a pretty good driver. I scored a 99 in driver's ed because the instructor wasn't allowed to "give [me] a hundred". Buuut I learned to drive in a 1990 Volskwagen Jetta, which I drove my initial road test in. The car we have now, a 2007 or 08 Pontiac Wave, is OBVIOUSLY a completely different type of ride. Parallel parking in it is still sketchy for me because the system I learned doesn't at all work with this car. But I just winged it and did well. Anyway I got my G, so I'm really jazzed. Fully licenced. Now I shouldn't have to take another road test for 57 years. Unless, that is, I DO end up going for my M (motorcycles), heheh. This was not a repeat. This was just a glitch in the system. They changed something in the Matrix. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 13 June 2009, 18:02:34 I take my license test on Monday.

I failed it two times when I was 16 so I kind-of just gave up. Then last month my brother made me come with him to the test because he was too nervous to go by himself. I decided to re-take the test and this time I passed with only two wrong out of forty. My brother failed twice as well on that day but he took it a third time and barely managed to pass... Anyway, even with a G1, I've been driving on the highway a lot... Even through snow (yeah in late May) and I even saw Moose on the road (which I stopped right away, just like my dad told me I should do). I didn't know you're not supposed to drive on a highway. I only thought you're not allowed to drive on the 400 series highways. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I think the stories are going on a bit too long so there's pages that aren't really funny mixed in with moderately funny ones, when every page used to be pretty funny.

It's true that McNinja pages seem to be more abundant with fillery stuff. I guess I don't mind. Though I don't think the humour has changed at all. I still laugh a lot; maybe I'm more easily amused. I hadn't realized the colourist had changed, but I noticed the colour WAS a lot better in the latest issue. I was pretty impressed. At first I was meh about the colour but I honestly didn't mind the extra effort anyway. And I like olives a lot more than pickles, which I hate, and mustard, which I hate, but I lump all three in the same category for their "intense" level of taste. The weirdest thing is cheese whiz. Every once in a while I get a craving for it and then I'm eating it with toast or something and I'm like "... why am I eating this?" Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I never used to like steak and I honestly think that's because I haven't had a properly cooked steak until a year or so ago.

So like, I just went out to the Superstore to buy shampoo and conditioner and deodorant and milk and butter and AAA batteries (you wanted to know that) and then I... was attacked on the way home. Well, kind of. There were numerous tables and things on display outside the superstore, and one of them, naturally, was one of those outside glass tables with an umbrella. Not thinking I kind of walked BEHIND it in terms of where the wind was blowing, and that's when the wind decided to tip it over. So there I was walking and suddenly a large object is approaching me quickly from the side and I'm like "COMMAND?" - Try to dodge it - Take it. You've endured worse than kamikaze umbrellas. But of course my reflexes weren't working at all so I didn't do ANYTHING and it landed inches from me and I'm like "omg lol"... but maybe my reflexes secretly knew nothing was going to happen.

A "wangsta" is simply a wannabe gangster, often saying they've done dirt that they haven't. The guy stealing your tire and putting heat in your face kind of falls outside that wangsta category considering he seems to actually have done that. That still might not make him a so-called "gangsta" though. Anyway I went to get new shoes the other day, it was far too hot and after searching all day I went to absolute last store in the downtown area that might have something I wanted.

Did a good set tonight. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 3 July 2009, 16:15:22 July 1st, I went to Epcot with Annie to meet part of her family and to chill. I wasn't exactly thrilled about the choice for Epcot, but it was alright. The place is still too "educational" than it is fun, and by educational, I don't mean that you learn anything. The place just spews facts and theories you've probably already heard, but whatever.
Basically, all the slow rides were duds except for the Bill Nye one and Spaceship Earth. In Spaceship Earth, I enjoyed the animatronics and the "future" scenario you create at the end (I made the most ridiculous face when they took my picture before the ride). Bill Nye was enjoyable for a different reason. Nearly halfway in the ride, it broke down and we were stuck in it until park staff tried to "drive" us out. They stunk at driving, and crashed into a wall, but yeah. Actually, the whole place was breaking down, which looked pretty bad. Fast Track broke down twice, once while we just got in line, Bill Nye broke down, and the Imagination ride broke down. After all this, we made a crack about the monorail flying around. "Watch that thing break down too. Everyone will have to open the doors and make an 8-foot jump." Of course, later that day, it broke down, so that was hilarious. I'd say the best of the whole trip was the following: -Mission Space. Very mind boggling and exciting. Well, besides the long-lasting headache I got at the end. -Fast Track. -Visiting other countries. -Chinese Gymnastics. Before entering the temple in China to watch the show, I turned to a girl at the entrance singing the intro to "Make a Man Out of You". Of course, they definitely got down to business and gave a good show. -German Buffet. -Fireworks. Disney does some pretty excellent fireworks. The park closed before we could thoroughly check out countries like Italy, Japan, and Canada however. I was beat by the time we got home. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 3 July 2009, 17:56:10 I have no idea what you are talking about.
Neat. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 3 July 2009, 19:18:47 There's a roller coaster at Epcot, right? I was just at Disney just over a year ago and we spent a day at every park.
Epcot is better than Animal Kingdom, at least. I actually kind of like Epcot. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 4 July 2009, 01:16:21 I've only been to Epcot for about five minutes. Enough to take a picture of the big robot testicle and then hop on the monorail for a second go at Magic Kingdom.
When I went down there, it was 1997 or early 1998. Animal Kingdom hadn't opened yet and wasn't finished, but we got special passes from some friends of friends or something and we got to go in. From what was there, it had a lot of potential. I liked it enough. I think it was finished and opened the next year. No Disney park AT ALL beats Typhoon Lagoon though. -Visiting other countries. Right. The park closed before we could thoroughly check out countries like Italy, Japan, and Canada however. I was beat by the time we got home. Good. I can't imagine the backwards ##### they pretend is Canadian. They probably have people wearing bear pelts, snow shoes, living in igloos and fighting giant wooly mammoths who have concussion grenade breath. And only that last one is true! Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 July 2009, 03:49:35 Yeah, you should see America. It's like, 1850s America. It's not us at all.
And there's a few "roller coasters". One is a simulator, and Test Track is as close as you can get. Everything else is either a movie or a slow ride. Anyway, I have bad news. Today I had work scheduled from 12 PM to 10 PM. Yes, I'm still working at Wendy's, for 3 years. If you didn't know that, you should go slam a brick into your face though. I walk in, and everyone tells me the whole store is gonna be shut down. I asked for confirmation and yes, the facts are there. The store is too old, it's been vandalized, bathrooms and equipment are breaking, and we're not the busiest Wendy's around. The only reason I stuck around at this job is because everyone I work with is nice, the place is laidback because we get frequent breaks of slow business as long as it's not the Lunch shift. The economy going down also kinda made us lose some business, and... pretty much, here's how the store stands. This isn't probably all accurate, this is just from what I heard. All that matters is: The store isn't making enough money, and will be shut down July 19th. What this means is: I get to choose two other Wendy's close to my area that I can transfer to, and wait for them to accept me. However, if they're too full with staff, I'm currently unemployed. ... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 4 July 2009, 04:07:29 ##### man that sucks, but at least you have the CHANCE to transfer. I know how it is. When I worked at the grocery store they told us two days before we were closing down, which is actually against the law. Closed down every store in the province with 2 days notice to any and all employees under management. They #####ed over so many people who were lifers who had kids to provide for.
They still owe me like a thousand bucks and I was only part time (who was doing the work of five people AND overtime for full time standards but still). Part of that was worker's comp they never paid me for #####ing my finger. On my left hand. Which is my drawing hand, which I could have claimed more for, but it healed fine. I'm rambling now.

Posted on: July 04, 2009, 12:12:26 AM So I watched the biggest fireworks display in Maine earlier with my girlfriend. It was raining. We were standing almost directly under them and got coated with ash and shells. One went off really early and extremely explosively and shot directly into the crowd, missed me by a few feet.

To top it off they also broke the back window to take the amplifier and the pair of bass woffers that I had. Theeennnn for the damn windows they broke was 600 bucks.

Wind was going like 200 km per hour. I was up in projection at work. I heard ##### banging around on the roof above me. The light flickered, and then SNAP BANG all the lights and projectors went out. And then the emergency lights went on. I found out later that a bunch of powerlines were knocked over. And the shopping cart holder things outside of Sobey's went flying and one of them trashed someone's car. You know what sucks about that? When the power comes on you still have to run the film to the end, you can't "rewind" them technically. The film is drawn from the middle of the reel as the platter spins. Only in some cases where the projector shut down not long after starting can you just cut the entire film in two and insert the passed film back into the hole where the film is drawn. And then tape it back together with special tape and a bladed pressing device. Right, you heard me. That's the part that sucks. Not the guy's trashed car. That doesn't suck.

But last Saturday I went out with a few buddies to a party that was supposed to have illegalties. No go, the guys wanted to go to the liquor store later than expected but were too stupid to realize it closes at 9pm.
So I danced with some girlfriends of mine for a bit, then left with my group to go up the hill; Linda lives on the same street, and I said I'd go see here (despite her telling me not to come because her folks had her locked in for the night). So against all odds I went up to her house, and started shouting portuguese things to inform that I was in the area. She came out and started shouting back, we had a good yelling/cursing match in the middle of the night.. I went up, we hugged and talked a bit. I was supposed to kiss her but I passed her "look" off as her just being so darn cute. After that my group found a party with booze, we drank it up and needless to say I got #####faced. After that we went back to the first party and caused a ruckus. I stole a bright blue balloon 'cause I wanted to give it to Linda (it's her favorite colour, and I couldn't stop talking about her all night). I tied it to her door and then fell down her front steps, the rest of the night was just me and my friends talking and eventually going home. I'ma smooch her next time :B Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 20 August 2009, 00:57:32 WOOHOO STEVE.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 24 August 2009, 20:49:58 Good weekend. Friday was a big party at my girl's place, then on Saturday after amazing hangover Denny's breakfast we hung out a bit and then met up later and saw Inglorious Basterds and then watched a Paul Mooney special on TV (the Jesus Is Black and so was Cleopatra one), and then yesterday I went out with some friends to 80's night at Barrymore's and they played some great movies on the screen for once; Spaceballs, Die Hard (the best Christmas movie of all timez), and about half of Octopussy. It's not as hard as you'd think to dance and watch awesome movies at the same time.
Last weekend was actually pretty similar, so L's been G for me lately. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 24 August 2009, 21:31:12 Oh, yeah, I've had a great weekend as well. Which is why I forgot to really post anything about it.
I found out a bunch of friends are living in the same apartment area as I am, and I didn't even know. So, at any given moment throughout the year, it's almost guaranteed that I have someone to hang out with. Plus, it's just a few weeks away from classes, so almost every night is a party. The first night back I got dragged to two in one night, and both were pretty lame but it was fun to see a lot of familiar face that I hadn't seen in a while. Random people kept popping up that I only knew from one class or that I hadn't seen in a really long time coincidentally. Unfortunately, the comedy open mic up here that my stand-up friends were hosting has died, and we're all looking for a new place to set up a weekly deal. It's been almost two months since I've been on stage, it's driving me nuts. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 1 September 2009, 01:52:34 I've been busy writing the screenplay (ha) for Heavy Meta, my new project. It's a movie I'm making with some friends, similar to Roomhates.
For comparison: the Roomhates episodes were about 10 pages each, so 50 pages total. I wrote the entire thing in about 3 days. Very little of it was genuinely funny, and it was mostly rushed just because I was excited to actually be doing it. Now: I just finished writing the 54th page of Heavy Meta, and it's taken me most of the summer to get to this point. The story has been meticulously planned out and it's actually very funny and quality stuff. I'm really proud of this. There's still about 20 or so more pages, in my estimate, but I'm heading into the closing act now. I plan to start filming in a couple weeks. I'm probably not releasing this on Youtube, but I'll try to find a way to get you guys to watch it. I'm also considering renting out a theater on campus later in the year to show it, in conjunction with a big stand-up comedy show. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

The booth to the right of us was this very professional-looking organization called Breyer Research, and they were all about birth-control and teen pregnancy issues. The booth to the left of us was some super-serious health-related organization with an extremely professional logo and sign and matching uniforms and such. Then there's our table. An awful crudely-made Sharpie-on-cardboard sign was duct-taped to our table that read "Western Michigan University Stand-Up Comedy Club!" but, I mean awful. Like, there were two clearly seperate pieces of cardboard taped together, and it was hanging crooked. Our table was filled with trinkets from the dollar store, and we'd give them to people if they could beat us in a game of Rock Paper Scissors or at a staring contest. When we ran out of our trinkets, we just walked around and took stuff from every other table and put them on ours. We crossed out all the other logos and wrote our own on them with Sharpies. We yelled at people walking by, insulted everyone who ignored us, called people over and at one point we tried to get a kissing booth going. Ron got a couple smooches! Good for him. We also had a caricature booth going. Trevor is actually a cartoonist (he does cartoons for our school newspaper) but we totally chose NOT to take advantage of that. We put some of his good caricature drawings out in front of an easel, and that was enough to attract people. He'd just draw a Christmas tree or something. "What are your hobbies? I'll draw you riding a motorcycle or something." He'd draw the star on top of the tree. "What's your name? Lindsey? Is that AY or EY?" Then he'd write "For Brittany!" on it. This was going on the entire time, and it never once got old. We had some black and white print-outs of David Schwimmer, Jason Alexander, Urkel, and Screech from Saved By The Bell, so when Trevor didn't feel like drawing a Christmas tree we'd just hand those out instead. It was awesome. Posted on: 11 September 2009, 19:28:09 Here is a video of some lucky girls getting one of the aforementioned caricatures! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suI0Fv9ap0A) Unforunately I'm only in the video for a split-second when the camera turns and you see my back, I was doing important things* on the other side of the booth! But yeah, these "caricatures" were going on the entire time. *drawing man-genitals Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 13 September 2009, 06:01:21 Awesome clip.

Posted on: 14 September 2009, 22:03:47 Blast from the past! I just found out that three people I went to military school with are at the same college as me. I haven't seen them in almost 4 years! After I got kicked out, I sort of lost touch with all of my friends over there... and I've only really talked to them in recent years through Facebook. I didn't even realize some of them went here. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 15 September 2009, 21:21:31 I'm upset over a million different things. Well, at least you had the chance to know your great grandmother. I bet she was a good lady. How old was she? I can comiserate, though. My grandmother was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and is on oxygen at all times now. I also found out that I am apparently at-risk for a genetic blood cancer that I didn't know about. For now, though, the worst I've got is a headcold/sinusitis and five missing body parts. All-in-all for me, I've been having a series of fortunate events lately, and my birthday is next Friday, so I'm feeling pretty good about things. Going up the mountain helped me clear my head, and gave me a break from people. It did me well. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

- saved the party by supplying music since nobody else had an iPod - got slapped in the face by a cute girl I initially hit it off with - walked in on my friend Dan taking a piss - "Is your name Dave?" - got picked up and thrown around by drunk people who are bigger than me - got dropped hard onto the floor by drunk people who are bigger than me - walked in on random girl taking a piss (seriously, people, lock the door) - put the iPod to "That's How I Beat Shaq" by Aaron Carter (nobody noticed) - got tackled to the ground by a drunk friend who thought it would be funny (it was) - almost ate spiked watermelon (it was spiked with watermelon vodka) - Twister: one guy, six girls - "You look like this guy named Dave that I know." - put the iPod to "Perfect Day" by Hoku (people noticed, cheered) - cute girl is now very drunk and trying to apologize for slapping me, but the words don't come out... her lunch does - conga line - "Bye, Dave!" - leaving, coincidentally run across a cute girl I know but haven't seen for a long time in the parking lot who is drunk and needs a ride (brownie points for later) - get home, watch a car try to park and hit another car (don't drink and park) - realized I forgot my iPod on the amp So, all in all, an awesome night. I might add that it became a sort of "running gag" to slap me in the face for most of the night. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 28 September 2009, 09:54:01 I had my first DnD session today to DM.
I really like it, it lets me get my creative juices to flow. Best yet, the way I DM'd was not insanely prepared like most DMs do it, but rather everything that happened was improvised. It worked out great and really gets me thinking how to create unique situations on the spot. All eight players enjoyed it, which makes me happy. I know DnD is insanely nerdy, but I think everyone should try it out once or twice. I greatly enjoy it when my players decide to fall asleep in front of the king or when they attempt to climb the entire castle and take all night and day to do so. It allows people to do crazy imaginative stuff. Title: How was your day?

Before it began, some guy imitating Kanye West interrupted the show, followed somebody else stealing back the mic saying, "Yo Kanye, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but the REAL Kanye has the best hi-jack of all time."
It was done before already, but still cool to see. Had a friend going for Ms. Daytona State so I voted for her, and she did an improv act, so it's all cool. I was ESPECIALLY impressed with this one girl's talent. She acted out lines of her poem to add emphasis and it was called "You Don't Live on my Street", discussing how people judge her when her life isn't perfect (alcohol abuse, drugs, sex related, etc). Nearly everyone (including me) stood up and applauded. I wish I had the poem on paper. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 5 October 2009, 06:20:56 Random rant. I hate it when cars stop in the middle of the road to let me pass. I'd much rather the idiot cut me off than put himself in danger because he thinks I don't see him coming or something.
It only takes a second for a car to get out of my way, it takes several for me, as a pedestrian, to get out of a car's way. I don't even care if I get cut off at all. I just hate it when I get cut off and then honked at as if I'm doing something wrong. And it's never a right turn, surprisingly. It's always some guy doing a left as I'm halfway crossed. (I don't really think I have to add this, but in USA and Canada the cars drive on the right side of the road and left turns require getting an opening in traffic, so it would seem you're more likely to be hit by a right turn than a left, but right turns require STOPPING and in the middle of the night, people turning left just blaze through the intersection without looking, and then honk at the pedestrian (who already knew the car was coming and calmly moved out of the way).

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 9 October 2009, 06:00:11 Today I played a game I made up called "Tim Baldwin" and what I do is I Google my own name and then see who shows up first in the results: Alec Baldwin or Tim Robbins.
Alec Baldwin usually wins, but today Tim Robbins won! Good for him! More IMPORTANTLY!!!!!! I found THIS! This is a Flash game I made in... 2003, I believe. It was the summer between 7th grade and 8th grade. I went to a 2-week computer camp thing (nerd!) at the University of Michigan, called Camp CAEN! I spent the entire time ignoring the lessons and I made this really cool Flash game rail-shooter thing called "The Razor's Edge" and it was really cool and had some pretty bad and loud music in it that I stole from the internet! I won the "Best Project" or whatever award and they told me they were putting it on the website but I never found it and then I lost all the data from my old computer that I made it on and then I completely forgot about it UNTIL TODAY! TODAY: While I was playing an innocent game of TIM BALDWIN... I ran across... THE RAZOR'S EDGE! (http://www.engin.umich.edu/caen/campcaen/about/showcase/projects/project-fps.html) (Turn your volume down!) PROTIP: Aim for the heads! I actually made it so you kill them faster with headshots! How awesome is that! The bosses will be hard to kill without headshots! The game is definitely possible to beat, I just beat it again to be sure! ALSO: don't just shoot blindly! Every time you miss, you lose a point! That's bad! Everyone post your high scores! Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

She's insane and by the far the most active socially out of anybody else I know, so an adventure with her is always welcome and sure to be full of surprises.
She knocked a dude out for touching her ass. It was hilariously awesome, if a little uncalled for. EOTO was really great, I'm a fan. I'd never heard of them before but they're supposedly pretty big.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 6 November 2009, 17:11:14 About four hours ago, I woke up to a call from my dad. One of my best friends as a kid got killed in a hit-and-run last night. I've grown apart from him in recent years, but our families have been very close since I was little and I even shared a birthday party with him. He was a genuinely good kid and this really threw me off-kilter. I always deal with loss pretty well but it definitely eats at me inside and since I found out earlier than most people I've had to let it stew in my head all morning. I can't imagine what his family is going through right now - my own mother called me crying. Honestly, I'm just venting, but I guess the cheesy thing to say would be to keep his family and friends in your thoughts.

Posted on: 6 November 2009, 20:24:16 Yesterday, I went to the Volusia County fair with Annie, her parents, sister, and cousins. It was pretty fun until late at night where all the rednecks and other random people swarmed the place, made the lines to rides too long, and just turned the whole place into a maze if anything. I'm posting this now because I was too tired from all of it last night, and I feel like a complete idiot in the first place because out of the first couple of rides we went on, there were rides that spun you around so fast, your blood rushed to your head, turned your face and stomachs around, and restricted you from getting up because of the speed of it all. I didn't feel sick, but nearly the whole night, I had a great headache and only went on slow rides, so I missed out on some other great stuff in the process. If I just bend over, part of the headache will return, so it kinda sucks. It was still a fun night though. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

That way they can justify why they chose to fail." - Kyle Cease ...which I found to be an extremely obnoxious thing to say, and felt the need to comment on it.

They act like they're divorced. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 8 November 2009, 05:35:44 My parents constantly threatened it throughout my entire life. Hell, they were threatening it to each other last time I was home, and I was only home for a weekend. They do it about once a week. I was so used to it as a kid that I actually started hoping for it just so they'd shut up. My parents REALLY don't fit together and I can't for the life of me figure out why they not only married, but stuck together for so long.

The best advice I can give you is to try and keep them together by doing anything you can. It might be for the best and probably won't work. But I still kick myself for not trying to do something for my situation. I'm sorry, that is stupid. My parents got divorced when I was ten and they're better off for it. Trying to keep two people together just for yourself is incredibly selfish and childish, especially if the fighting got to a physical point or the other areas you mentioned.

It might be for the best and probably won't work. But I still kick myself for not trying to do something for my situation. No. I am aware that some people are better off for it. But in my case it was probably best they stayed together and just went to marriage counseling, it would have worked too. But they're both pretty stupid/stubborn, so they constantly blamed each other, now they hate each others guts and I already said where that got them. And whoever said it was just for me anyway? Mike, trust me, I know my situation better than anyone else. And I know that if it won't work then it's best to let things go, but if things are salvageable and could potentially better for everyone, it's worth the effort. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

But besides all of that, I just hung out with a couple friends, one of which I ran into by complete accident after having some feeling that I'd run into the guy! Pretty rad. So yeah, spent the day with some friends and we just messed around the area by spitting on cars from a bridge and causing a ruckus around the place.

Went to see Men Who Stare at Goats which was OK but I wasn't really expecting much out of it. Went to Zaphod Beeblebrox (a club) for the first time (and first club too). Was pretty bored, all of my friends got drunk and had a ton of fun but since I wasn't getting drunk, I was pretty much just my shy self, just keeping to myself. I had a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster, though. The first few sips were terrible, but after a while it started to taste OK. It took me about an hour and a half to drink, though, because it seriously was making my stomach turn over (might have just been a psychological factor, though). Oh, and I also shot this drink called Firefly, I think, where it's basically Tequila and Hot Sauce. I refused at first but my friend bought one for everyone so I felt bad for not drinking it. Overall, I was pretty bored the two hours and a half I was at Zaphod's. I wouldn't mind going again, though, with a much smaller group of friends. I then went Zak's Diner for some 3AM breakfast. Wasn't really enjoying it, however, mostly because I was still quiet and keeping to myself. I really dislike it when I'm in such a large group of people, I'm just too shy to be myself. It didn't help that there was drama going all over the place; it was the biggest outburst of drama I had ever seen in my college year. And I was a part of it too, so it just made me dislike the night more and more. In the end, if I knew what was going to happen that night, I probably would have stayed home. Like I said, though, I wouldn't mind going to Zaphod's one more time. BTW, for those of you wondering why me and my friends would do this on a Wednesday, its because we don't have class until 7PM tomorrow. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Ironic, because I declined an offer for a ride home on the grounds that I wanted my car available to me for the week (if I had accepted the ride home, I would have left my car at school and avoided the accident.)

I was bleeding for most of yesterday.
Good news: Black Friday means great sales all week on Amazon, plus my parents are in sympathy mode what with my good grades and yesterday's surgery... plus Channukah isn't too far off so they were willing to let me spend what gift money I would've gotten early. Well, turns out all seasons of Doctor Who are half-off right now (god knows I'm not spending the usual $80-100 on any of them) so I nabbed all those for $42 each (already had Series 1 from a long while back). Also got the complete series of Deadwood, which I'd been meaning to grab. And Coupling. Basically, this more than makes up for the pain. Oh, and with my own money, I grabbed the first volume of the graphic novel The Walking Dead. I'd been interested in it for a while now, and I recently heard AMC is adapting it as a TV series for 2010. What finally spurred me on was Mike's reccommendation to read the novel World War Z, which I thought sounded interesting but when I realized all the similarities between the two, I decided to go with The Walking Dead for the time being. I'll still check out World War Z at some point soon. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Snare on 25 November 2009, 20:38:05 I don't get it.

It's been interesting. At least the landlord isn't in the living room anymore. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Winged Warrior on 27 November 2009, 22:55:29 So, despite everything, I am looking at my situation escalating past the weekend. Because of noncompliance managers, one of the three groups of information related to us finding out if we can even sign a lease is unconfirmed. Until this paperwork is finished, we cannot legally move in.
Due to a lack of fax and a lack of email for this establishment, the paperwork is being delivered by the fleeting hands of the US postal service. This method has to be tried thrice, and in the past three weeks has only been mailed out once. After ALL the paperwork is gathered, there is a period of 48 hours (two business days) before it is returned in the format used by the office. At that time we have to schedule a meeting to sign those papers, and possibly sign a lease. as we are aware now, we have been given a date that "we should know" that have all fallen through with a restatement to the fact that their hands are apparently tied by procedure. Our hopes rest on the promise that the paperwork will be viewed, calculated, and submitted from the pay-stubs that were provided the day of the original release of the paperwork, three weeks ago. We are to receive word on SOMETHING by the end of the day, by phone. However, Like the previous promises that were given about a lease signing, we cannot afford to take their word on it.... See More Me and opal's lease does not expire until September 1st 2010, with an optional, agreed upon early ending. My landlord has already screened my room for one lady who moved in on Tuesday. She, like many of us, is waiting for us to hear word back on the lease. She is currently bedding down in the living room, and I know for certain that if I am not out by the first, that I may have legal troubles on my hands. Needless to say, I feel I am out of options, and I have no idea the next step. I may have to move in despite the lease, and hope to not be kicked out onto my ass. I am prone to anxiety attacks and I am losing sleep, and failing to have an appetite. Anyone with any kind advice is encouraged to post it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 28 November 2009, 02:17:07 To chime in here, the whole thing has been losing us sleep.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 3 December 2009, 06:22:52 I just spent the last couple hours hanging out with comedian Roy Wood Jr. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Wood,_Jr.)
Our Campus Activities Board brings in several comedians (not big ones) for small shows each semester, and this year the comedy club has been more involved with these shows, like being given the opportunity to open for them. The problem is, usually they either A) aren't funny or B) aren't friendly to us after the show. This time he was hilarious and more than willing to talk to us as a group afterwards... in fact, he brought us out to dinner and paid for our meals. In addition to being a really nice and genuine guy, he gave us hours of tips and insight into the comedy business. And even though he's not someone you've likely heard of before (none of us had), he's got reach and knows the business well - and a lot of the people in it. Hell, he's even buddies with Chamillionaire. Basically it was loads of fun to hang out with him and he told us what it's like to be in the business and how he got into it. He had a lot of in-depth stuff about Comedy Central and how they do genuinely care about funny, but they care about money more, all that jazz... and the process one usually goes through to get on the channel. Just a bunch of really great stuff. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 3 December 2009, 07:54:07 That's sweet.

Some girl in one of my history classes asked for extra help on the final exam, and I was nodding my head because I would like to know what I can do academically too. Others were thinking the same thing as well. He's not really great at lecturing the subject. You practically have to learn it yourself. He practically told the girl to go screw herself. I have another who's great at teaching it, but then you get the exam and a lot of what's on the test ISN'T what he lectured in class. Two of my classes have the same teacher, who although is easy as long as you do your work, seems to be very forgetful and clumsy. She often misplaces lesson plans, forgets to grade homework, or forgets to mention that an assignment is due and pushes the deadline back. My Philosophy teacher is awesome though. Only 4 grades in the class: Attendance, 4-6 page paper on anything philosophical, Mid-Term, and Final. The questions on the Mid-Term and the Final are on the Syllabus he handed out on day one, so you just research that throughout the semester and you're good. My finals come next Tuesday and Thursday.

Annie got a free NES Virtual console game today because she purchased her Internet Channel for 500 points when it got released. If you did too, you get a free NES game in compensation but it expires at the end of this year. If you snooze, you lose. She got Castlevania 3, aftering looking up the reviews on how good it is. This is my first time playing a Castlevania game, because as usual, I don't want to buy games I'm afraid I might hate and regret. It's a VERY fun game, but for goodness sakes, where is the HEALTH RECOVERY? Seriously. Also, last Monday, Nintendo FINALLY put the original Super Smash Bros. on the virtual console just in time for Christmas. I downloaded it and started playing it now. Proud to "have" all 3 Smash Bros. on my Wii. Further, there are 5 demos available for a limited time online. I'm going to try the others, but I can guarantee that Pokemon Rumble is fun and overall a cute game to play. It's been a good day... until Annie just told me a friend of hers (who I also know) died in a car accident today. We never really talked much but he was still a pretty cool guy and this really sucks.

Passed it off, figuring it was just my system reacting to the first edible contact of the day.
Went shopping, got food. Had some blackberries and part of a Bawls. Got home, made OJ, sat down. Started to feel kind of rumbly, so I cut up part of a sandwich, started nibbling on it. Felt a little bad, so I poured some orange juice and sipped at it, then felt better. I poured my Bawls into my OJ, and sipped that. Immediately felt like something my cat puked up. Three hours later, I was vomiting after several involuntary attempts. I made a brew of cinnamon, apricot tea, nutmeg, and a little clove. It was delicious, and it helped at first, but then I threw that up within half an hour of drinking it. Still kind of going on. I've thrown up everything I've eaten today.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheOnly on 2 March 2010, 23:41:55 The week before yesterday I went to the dentist because I had this pain on the right side of my jaw, comes out that the upper wisdom tooth was causing the pain and the bottom wisdom tooth as well, but the twist with the bottom one was that it was like....next to the nerve, am like, that sounds REALLY bad, they were like, "yeaaa, for this your going to need oral surgery to remove this so your nerves won't get damaged". Then I asked how much it was going to run to remove the bottom one, the cost: 520$ to remove a tooth that would have been cheaper if I was not close to the nerve. So yesterday I got it remove, good thing I didn't feel ANY pain while they were removing it. Then they began to sow the gap and the string look like this _____________________________ _____________________________ long, am like WTH?!?!

I can't understand anyone presumptuously saying "you're overreacting" because everyone seems to have a different experience with it. The fact is it really sucks during and after surgery, and everyone who's done with the experience is probably just happy that it's over and that they don't have to do it again. It's may be difficult to understand what I mean if you don't suffer through pain on a daily basis, as has been happening to me. When I'm in pain, it sucks. When it's over it seems like I always downplay how bad it was because I try to just move on and forget about it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ChaosVortex on 4 March 2010, 06:40:21 Okay, call me stupid or ignorant or whatever, but I didn't know about the fact that you should get them removed until some months ago. I wish I got them out when I was 18. Now I'm doing it when I'm 21, and it just might be a bit more painful.
This doesn't affect me, because I won't be drinking but... If you're getting them removed and you're 21 (or already drinking), don't drink while it's healing. I don't need to explain why, it affects your blood and the ability to heal those gaps where your tooth used to be. But yeah, I too think TheOnly is overreacting a bit. Although I haven't done it yet but plan on to. I want it done and over with and I do NOT look forward to it. At least they'll put me to sleep for it. Anyway, yours is done. Just take the pain, let it settle, and let it pass. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 4 March 2010, 17:07:08 I was told that I wasn't going to get my wisdom teeth.

My 16-year-old cat (over 100 human years, if you count), Thabitha, died today. I can't even dream about how much that cat loved my mother. When she, my mom, died, in June of 2003, Thabitha spent around 2 months weeping in front of her room and looking for her. Watching her walk all around the house and crying was really sad, but then she adapted, though she was much less active than she used to be. And today, I woke up to the news that she had to be put down. The last 3 or 4 days she had been crying cries of pain, and she barely moved. She was in too much pain, so we rather let her go than have her struggling around the house. I like to think that now she and my mother meet again. R.I.P.

It's an amazing advancement that he has created Mycoplasma laboratorium, the article calls him an antichrist when he's really a superior geneticist. It's silly that people are afraid of this, a single bacterium can't do crap, and it way less complex than a eukaryote. Variations of this could be made though, that synthesize synthetic fuels, which is amazing. This semester I took and introduced a DNA plasmid to a strain of E. coli and successfully made it completely resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin. He has just done this on a greater scale. Did you know that we make the insulin used for diabetics by transforming E. coli? We introduce a simple strand of genetic code that makes the E. coli produce insulin, then filter out the nutrient media and the E. coli and boom, insulin. Then dump the E. coli into another vat and get MORE insulin. It's been a long process coming that an entire DNA strain has been put together to create an entire creature, even though it was really like taking the parts of a few different cars, sticking them together, and putting them together in an assembly line used to make similar cars. It's a 'new' car, but it's nothing truely shocking. When we can take and create all the pieces from scratch, THAT'S an achievement. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Man, that's gay. Well, now my life... I failed 5 of my 7 classes last semester which pretty much rendered that semester as a waste of money and half a year of my life. A lot of it is definitely my fault. I was pretty retarded the entire year, barely lifting my ass up to do any homework nor did I even try studying. I've talked to people about this (including a psychiatrist) and they think I'm just burnt out. Working every single day for, like, 15 years of my life is making me feel bored of it. But it's not just my fault. The course itself is very #####ed up. There are changes made every year because too many people drop out half-way through. The first year is incredibly easy (and fun!) and the second year the difficulty jumps so far up its not even funny. And the people who run the course admits that things need to be changed... but it won't be changed soon enough. So, I'm pretty much wasting my time on this... But... I've already spent so much money. And I want to do this. I'm still going to try to finish the course. I'm going to motivate myself more to fix my programming stump, I'm trying to learn as much as I can this summer so I can be prepared for what's going to come. I will finish the course, I'm not going to be a college drop out. Still... so many of my friends have dropped out... I can only think of one friend out of a group of ten that's definitely going to come back... and even then, he wants to drop out so he can become a lawyer instead because it's actually easier then learning all kinds of complex programming languages and algorithms. But I'm doing it, I'm not going to disappoint my family or myself any longer. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 26 May 2010, 04:11:14 Hey man, if you want this go get it. You sound like you've made up your mind but I just want to help you along, and I know just how you feel. But I know the program works, at least for some. No program works for everyone but I have a few friends that took that program and one of them now works at Fuel here in Ottawa (which is hard to get into, at least for illustrators/animators, not sure about people on your side of it) and another friend works out in the Maritimes.
Lawyers have to go to school for seven years and have a work comparable to what I had in animation. I don't think your program is easy--I know it's not (after first year, anyway)--but I don't know if becoming a lawyer is easier. I have a friend that actually had a nervous breakdown in law school recently and came home from England early, with a sabbatical for school. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 14 June 2010, 12:26:58 My Saturday night was pretty awesome.
1) My roommate and I paid off the TV earlier in the week, and now it's just up to me paying off his part and then in July it gets moved into my room while he buys a big-ass TV for himself. He told me he'd knock $150 off of what I owe him if I picked up Blur for the Xbox 360 for him, which was $40 at K-mart at the time. WIN. 2) My buddy traded me a Tekken 6 fightstick and the two-disc version of Call of Duty 3 for a brand-new copy of Blur. Again, $40 at K-mart, so I win again. 3) Friend of the family called me up to ask if I wanted to go see Star Wars Live (you get to see a live orchestra play music from the Star Wars saga) with her in July for free. 4) I won a bet on the Liddell vs. Franklin bout in UFC 115, thus, I am saved from having to see Eclipse at the midnight showing with my co-worker.

A while back, comedian Roy Wood Jr. came and performed at my school. After the show, he took myself and the rest of our school's comedy club out to dinner and paid for us while sharing valuable insight into the business. I've kept in touch and made plans a couple months ago to open for him next time he came to Michigan, which will be in October. That's all old news.

At the start of the 2nd week I decided to order the new 360 model and paid the whole thing. The NEXT day I find out that I owe the bank 400$ because the idiots I canceled the parts with decides to charge my card and I was complaining to them and they were like "ummm, once you place an order on a part(s) in the Mopar brand we can't cancel the order", am like, "Man, damn fiends".

Luckily I have the support of my Dad... I love the guy, he just saved my ass when I thought I had no more money for the month. I didn't even ask for it either... ;_; But anyway, this year at college I feel more at home. I've been actually doing homework and I've learned more than I ever had last year. I feel like I'm finally getting out of my procrastination slump and that I'll finally succeed at this. I've also been seeing a counselor and I feel that's been helping me a lot. I also talked to my course coordinator and he set me up so that even though I failed second year courses, I'll still be doing my third year as if I haven't and that next year I can re-take the failed courses. That way, I can do the final project (which is creating a whole game to be downloaded on XBox Live Arcade Indie Games!) with my friends. So... yeah. That's my life for this past month and a half.

Thread Post by: AlexThePenguin on 3 March 2011, 21:40:39 As the days ease by, I am growing ever more excited for the wedding. We've arranged our vows, I'm getting last minute things done, people are giving last minute confirmations or declinations of their attendance, and we're trying to figure out when I have time to get the wedding license.
Seeing as some people have specifically asked, the flower crown will have delphiniums and a bunch of other flowers, mostly blue, that I forgot to write down, and will be tied with a black ribbon. The bouquet will have hyacinth, kermits and irises and some other things I forgot to write down. There will be a large bouquet for decoration as well. We'll be using false petals for the flower girl to throw, and small false flowers for table decorations. This Sunday, I get to see my dress in its entirity. It's simple, but it's lovely. I'm very excited. We're receiving wedding gifts in the mail, and it's very hard not to open them. Next Wednesday, Ray's folks arrive. I've never met them in person before, so I am admittedly a bit nervous. This sinus infection seems to be clearing up. My ears don't hurt, and my sore throat is abating, though the laryngitis had better be gone before the wedding or I will have to do something drastic to it. In short, days is busy. :D Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Alekta on 3 March 2011, 21:46:30 Today is only halfway through and it suuucks.

On friday night I went to a friend's birthday party where I saw some friends I hadn't seen in a while. Yesterday (sat) just as a different group of friends were arriving at my place for a hard to schedule hangout I found out that one of those friends from the Friday party got into a car accident and died on the way home from said party. So, like, today I've just been talking to people and stuff. I don't know how much I'll be online or anything for a bit. Could be more or less than usual really. I can use the distraction. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 7 March 2011, 00:01:38 That's harsh, man, especially since you were there so close to the time it happened. This sort of thing, when it's somebody close to your age and that you shared some history with, it really brings up those issues of mortality. Last year, a close childhood friend of mine got hit by a bus. I hadn't seen him in a while but we were really good friends as kids, and we even shared some birthday parties together. It was tough to get through, but you'll get there.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 21 April 2011, 18:42:30 Cold in April is unusual, but becoming a trend.
I put my winter coat back on after the end of a slight reprieve in temperature, it goes back down and stays down for a few more weeks, and then... I don't know how you can stereotype climate, though. Also I have this feeling I'll screw up horribly if I try to build a computer because the parts I order will not fit or something. So I'm gonna get some local tech guys to do it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 21 April 2011, 19:03:17 Use me. It's insanely easy nowadays.
Just plug things in and follow the instruction in your mobo manual. I put mine together in an hour. I can design you a tower for under $700 that'll tear apart most games. Although, buying a pre-built computer through a third party (not like HP or anything) costs similar, but the experience is good for when you ever need to upgrade anything. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: ASR on 21 April 2011, 20:13:11 For years I've been telling myself I'm going to build a computer. I'll get around to it eventually. It's something I've always wanted to. I once got really closing to starting one, and I watch another kid do it at military school. (We weren't allowed to have real computers, but they gave us monitors with a built-in terminal that basically had nothing but Microsoft Word on it... so this guy built a computer in a cardboard box and kept it under his desk inconspicuously, hooking it up to his monitor.)
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 21 April 2011, 22:01:09 My computer was 1200 dollars in 2006, built by the same guys and it was more of a gift for graduation. It doesn't actually seem suitable for upgrade with what's on the market right now.
And right now I don't even have a limited budget because I'm making more money than I actually expected. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 21 April 2011, 22:23:41 Personally I love this cool April. I like to wear jackets, and I like to wear hoodies under them.
This computer was a thousand, which is a steal for it. Last night I was looking through the games and noticed Angry Birds and The Sims 3 are on here along with other stuff. I don't really care about either of those two but I'll probably try out Sims and get caught up. I really want to see this insane cardboard box computer. I don't know how you can stereotype climate, though. Yeah, that stuck out to me too... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 22 April 2011, 01:12:31 Sean, a $1200 computer now would blow nearly everything out of the water.
Unless you want an Intel i7 and Nvidia set up. i7s are a waste unless you are doing insane calculations and computers are loading a lot of that off onto graphics cards now. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 22 April 2011, 22:16:30 I really don't think 1200$ gets you such an amazing computer, actually...
I don't really know a lot about this stuff but a lot of new 'just alright' computers cost more than that already. Maybe I'm misinterpreting your post, though. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 23 April 2011, 06:03:31 Yeah, it's an older computer though. So what was $1200 five years ago is probably not much now.
Either way it just doesn't perform so well anymore. I've formatted it and defragged it and stuff. My best bet seemed to be to upgrade the RAM, but I also see a benefit in having two computers. One I can plug up with all kinds of downloads and freeware that I might use on the spot, and one for actual performance. I wouldn't keep both running at all times, of course. Then again I kind of really just don't know what I'm doing and that is the biggest reason I've been so hesitant to actually take action. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 23 April 2011, 06:10:04 My computer is at a total of $670 and can max Borderlands, Mass Effect 2, nearly max Crysis warhead, and damn near anything I throw at it at 1080p.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Majikn on 23 April 2011, 06:20:31 Well, that just about frightens the ##### out of me, John.
By computer you mean specifically the desktop itself and not the input/output devices? You might convince me to just do exactly what you did, if I feel competent enough to emulate your skills. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 23 April 2011, 07:54:58 It's easy peasy. It could almost do all of those things before the last $100 I dumped into it.
Putting it together is damned easy, too. Screw the Mobo to the case, bolt in PSU, bolt in DVD/BluRay drive and HDD, carefully attach processor and mount heat sink/fan, carefully put RAM in slots, slip video card in right slot, screw into place. Attach cables from power supply (many to mobo and fans). Attach SATA cables to DVD and HDD, attach power to video card. Boot with OS install disc in. Create a newegg account and I can slap you together a 'wishlist' for however much you want. If it's over 800-900, I'll be going with Intel for a processor (more expensive), and over $900, NVidia for a video card (more expensive). Not necessarily better performance (although it often is), but for better drivers that require less friggin around. Top processors are the Intel i7s and AMD 6core Phenom CPUs, Ram: 1600Mhz DDR3 is typical, $45 for a 4GB stick. The RAM that works with the i7 is more expensive though, but it is better utilized. $220-$300 on graphics should be enough for damn near anything. $50+ on a Power supply. The big decision you have to make is whether you want a solid state drive. Solid state is insanely fast but pricey, over $2 per gigabyte typically for the cheapest. My hard drive is 7200rpm (current standard) and was $48 for 500GB. 1/20th the price per gig. A few days worth of research and a decision on what's important as well as the price point and I can put together whatever you want under a budget. Hell, mine could max all source games at 720p at $450, before a videocard (using integrated graphics on the Motherboard). Get at me on AIM if you're serious. ALSO: All dollars are in US. I'm not certain if Newegg ships to Canada or what the prices are. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: MOX on 23 April 2011, 17:47:34 i.e. you're just connecting a bunch of cables inside a computer case.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Chron on 23 April 2011, 18:30:43 I'm still trying to figure out why you would install the processor and heatsink AFTER putting the mobo in the case, PSU and drives.
Maybe that case didn't have a tray for it or something, so that solves the case part, but that's still usually the first thing most people do, since it's easier to work on it without all of that other crap in the way. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 23 April 2011, 19:15:13 I feel that's it's more protected in the case, personally, less chances for it to slip off the antistatic bag AND you're better grounded with the PSU right there to continually ground yourself on, just in case.
It can be done any number of ways, but a friggin monkey could be trained to do it. It's not like how it used to be when you had to tell the computer all of it's parts in the BIOS correctly or they wouldn't work. The components and BIOS talk with each other instantly and easily. Edit: by BIOS, I mean MOBO, durrrr Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 23 April 2011, 20:20:06 For some reason I didn't realize you built it yourself. Now I see why it's so cheap.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 24 April 2011, 00:37:44 I had that revelation last summer. Good income and computers cost so little now, why not? I've always wanted to, it's just been $1000+.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: MOX on 24 April 2011, 00:40:58 You aren't going to be saving THAT much money by building your own PC if you take extra software into account. Though only a lil more expensive, you can buy pretty fast pre-built computers from companies like HP and Dell.
Building your own PC is good because you can choose which components to focus on and which components to skimp on. When you pick the components of your own computer its easier to figure out if something is wrong or to replace either a CPU or video card when you want to upgrade. Each component you buy also has it's own warranty and customer support. If you buy a computer from say Dell, you would have to talk to customer service and possibly be talked into spending hundreds of dollars for simple fixes. If you're buying a computer from Apple, then yes $1000 won't get you much. Though to be fair Apple's computers have great industrial design are made with materials like aluminum. They make every other computer look ugly/uninspired in comparison; there's a reason why companies like HP and Asus are trying to make Macbook Pro'esque laptops. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 24 April 2011, 23:43:57 That new iPad-inspired HP tablet/laptop thing looks terrible and ugly and terribly, by the way.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Vinchenz Rock on 30 April 2011, 13:12:38 Well, it's all over now.
I just got back home from an all-nighter gaming marathon that we had at our school. It was our reward for slaving away at code and modelling all semester. It was incredibly fun, I played Minecraft like I haven't before and we played it on a server. I just finished making a volcano. As I said bye to the classmates I may never see again... I suddenly realized something. The last three years of my life were the best years of my life. I do not believe I'll have an experience as great at this ever again. I had (mostly) great Teachers, people who actually wanted us to learn and went out of their way to make sure we got the most out of their teachings. In fact, if it weren't for one of the teachers I wouldn't be half the programmer I am today. I would still be the lazy slob who would honestly just be a dead weight. This teacher got me to go out and learn things on my own and to try things in our assignments that other people would be too lazy to implement. I thank him a lot for that because it's honestly changed my life. All of my classmates were the smartest, kindest, most respectable people. We were all friends and we would help each other out no matter the situation. I have never seen a more perfect set of classmates to be honest. We truly were completely compatible with one another. I've never and do not think I'll ever see such a group of classmates ever again. I'm proud to be a part of them. I'll truly miss them. But my most treasured personal acquirements come from two people who I met, befriended, and became close brothers with. The three of us have a tight bond that will never be broken. I trust my life with them and I know that they trust their lives with me. I would never do anything that would cause them harm, no matter what happens. I'll be living with them starting January. And now that it's all over... now what? I'm a little depressed because I no longer have vital work that needs to be done... and that I'll never be a part of such a perfect classroom ever again. I'm... already bored to be honest. I guess the feeling will go away in time. Well, it's not truly all over. I've failed a few classes second year second semester due to being a lazy, dead weight slob. The fact that I've passed all of my classes this year proves that I got what it takes to go back and get those classes finished. Unfortunately, they are spring classes so I'm going home for the summer... and for four months after that. That is why I'll be living with my brothers in January. I'd much rather stay for the summer but I decided with logic in that going home and working there will help me out a lot more then staying here and working while having to pay rent and bills. But THIS is all over now... a few of the great teachers will be returning... living with my brothers... but one vital ingredient is missing and that is the perfect classmates (which my brothers were a part of). It simply will not be the same. As I said, the last three years of my life were the best three years of my life. I'll eat my words if I ever contradict myself but I have this feeling that it won't happen. It's a depressing feeling... but the experiences will live on forever in me. ... I know, I know, tl;dr, but I just had to get this out. This came from deep within my soul and I needed to share it. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I have fewer bonds like that, but I do have some good bonds. I have a friend I made this year, a freshman (me a junior) and we get along friggin great, she's one of the better friends I've ever had. Aside from that I've had my girlfriend, which things have been up and down with over time, be it's been more than 2 years now. My day: As president of our University's Outdoors Club, put on a Paintball event which anybody on campus would attend. the day's fees would be half payed for by the club's funds. Well only 5 people ended up going so everyone played for free and got free Chinese after too. Last round of paintball for the day: 9 kills, 1 death. I SMOKED the other team.

I plan on installing the old HDD myself, I feel like since they're building it I should probably drop off the DVD drive just to help them install everything.

The cases aren't identical, but very similar. Mine's a year and a half old though, so that may be a factor.

Looking forward to playing all the PC games I have + getting Starcraft II. Posted on: 1 July 2011, 23:47:53 So I think I just came out of this knowing a lot more about computers than I did before. I learned that if you don't know what you're doing, no matter what you do, you will ##### ##### up. But no seriously my VGA cable is plugged in via a very cheap adapter right now and it's got kind of crappy resolution but I was going to buy a new monitor anyway so... wait wait oh my god I am so stupid there actually IS a DVI port on the back of my computer... I didn't even think to check, I forgot it was even there until JUST now. I was like "wait, wasn't there also a white thing... ?" a memory from back when I didn't know what the "white thing" was just popped into my head, and I checked... yeah the thing's right there. OHGOD. But it's all good because I needed to go back out anyway to get a SATA data cable to replace the one I took from my old hard drive to make my new DVD drive work. Screw it, I don't care. I'm happy. I got a lot of stuff done, even if I didn't do everything myself. Only thing I'm kind of annoyed about is since I got my screen working the system has communicated to me that they did not give me the antivirus software that I bought (I didn't even rummage through the CDs they gave me). So now yeah I also have to go back to them and be like WTF. I WORKED A LOT AND I'M STILL TIRED DON'T JUDGE ME Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Because I normally never look at the back of my monitor. Even when I temporarily disconnected it I just left the cable in on the monitor's end and gently pulled the whole thing out. I'm saying this just to come off as less of an idiot than I seemed there because that I was definitely a typo.[/endofcomputerstuff]

I was considered "technical support". All I really did was wire my PC to this display hub... thing. All I know is it said video in, and there were a lot of green wires going out of it, so I took a chance and plugged it in to my DVI port. Then all of the TVs in the lobby were displaying a picture of an eye with the caption, "I am watching you." I have this reputation, you see. But yeah then a gal gave me a DVD to pop in. Then I was done for the next few hours until I moved over to one of the huge ass digital projectors we have for playing 3D movies, which was quite simpler. It was an unique experience in which I did not go to bed until 5 AM because I was watching someone lip sync "peas and carrots" over and over again because he didn't know the words to the song.

My day wasn't too bad I guess. I bought "Browncoats: Redemption" for my girlfriend for her birthday. It's a fan-made film set in the Firefly/Serenity universe, with all proceeds going to various charities. I bought the Blu-ray copy for her, and the DVD for me. Now, I had woke up this morning knowing that I was going to be hitting up my local comic book shop, but it hadn't really sunk in that it was going to be for the DC universe reboot. Around noon, I realized this, and suddenly the rest of my day became pretty unbearable. I couldn't wait for quitting time to roll around, but then I had class immediately after. A voice from Undergrad Speed popped in my head going "##### IT! Just skip class and go get your comics, who gives a #####?" Most people I know are surprised to hear that I DIDN'T skip my class - 3 years ago I would've skipped class for any damn reason under the sun. I think I might be finally growing up. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 1 September 2011, 23:09:24 For me the DC reboot is the perfect time to really jump out of comics for a while. I've barely been paying attention as it is since I stopped working at the store, and I'm digging the vibe of reading stuff in trades when I have the time instead of having to clear out my box every month or two.
I'll check out some of the new stuff but I'm probably not gonna make a commitment. Now I just gotta find a good point to stop getting my Marvel issues for a bit.

I hope that you're moving in together - not you moving in with her or vice-versa. Trust me, it's easier if you're both unpacking. Rely on each other, but don't take the other person for granted. Don't go to bed angry. Realize that things may not work out. It's okay. Sometimes people discover that they can't live under the same roof. Again, it's okay. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

It was hard to give advice without knowing your situation, but looks like you need something to make you buckle down. Seems like you have a decent reason to BE motivated though. But if you're feeling depressed I recommend that you do NOT let that make you sleep all day. I know that's what depression does but sleep habits like that only reinforce the apathy. Changing your diet up might help too. I want you to move back here, so I'm here to help ya if you need me. Really, that goes for any Matrician. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Representations of cinematic pigeon ##### I have ever witnessed. As bad as Total Recall? Worse. They take away half the mystery and with it half the horror and captivation. Don't see it if you haven't, buy the original for five bucks. Infinitely better and what it lacks in effects it makes up for in atmospher, corriogrophy, and story.
In other news... The Purge. This was highly anticipated in my area when the trailer came out. My opinions? Meeeeeeeeh... It was alright. Not really graphic enough to be a great slasher flick. For some reason I expected much more from a movie that boasted a government sanctioned night where all crime s legal. I wasn't put off. Just not satisfied. I just realized my senile fingers hit the wrong thread after the reload. So to add on to this and make it cannon... My day is actually going quite well. Two birds with one stone.

Posted on: May 01, 2014, 08:41:07 PM I found this from last summer/fall. I tried to update you all on what the hell was going on in my life, but I never finished it. Covers December 2012 to Summer/Fall 2013. So, here's what I wrote. SPOILER: I ENDED UP MARRYING MY CO-WORKER. So it’s been a while since I’ve told you, my online family of sorts, what all I’ve been up to. Last real update was that I had been living with my now-ex-girlfriend for three months, and had given some advice for someone who was just moving in with their significant other. If I remember correctly, I said three things 1) Don’t take the other person for granted. 2) Don’t go to bed angry. 3) Realize that it may not work out, and that’s okay. As you’ve figured out by now, it didn’t work out. Life has been a crazy roller coaster since July, but life has honestly been so much better. Things had been going downhill between Ashley and I since November 2012, but in February 2013 we decided to move in together. After all, we’d been dating for almost three years at that point and it seemed like one of those “crap or get off the pot” things. That Christmas I was in a bit of a funk, and came close to writing a play that would’ve been my final thing – I’d considered killing myself after writing it. The play never got written. But I chugged along, presenting at a conference and then moving in with Ashley. Even though our relationship wasn’t great, I was looking forward to moving in with her, thinking that this was the next big step in our relationship. I thought it would be great, but in the back of my head I knew things were starting to spin out of control when one evening while moving my crap in, I found her crying on the bed, telling me that the whole thing was a mistake and she shouldn’t have forced me to move in with her. Things progressively got worse, and it was looking like the breaking point was about to be reached, in our relationship and in my mental state. The idea for the play rolled around in my head again, this time with more of the plot and events figured out. Finish it and then jump off a nearby bridge to finish it all. Still never happened, and after one of my night classes, I broke down and used my health insurance’s website to find myself a therapist. My ex-girlfriend was initially supportive. I wouldn’t be able to see the therapist before we got back from vacation over the 4th of July holiday weekend, which was fine, until right before we left Ashley told me that the vacation was either going to make or break our relationship. So as you can imagine, this wasn’t sitting to well with my state of mind. I felt like I was walking on eggshells the whole entire time, trying to do my best to save the relationship. I couldn’t enjoy the vacation, and I picked up on little things the whole time, like there were no pictures of us from this vacation – she took pictures of fireworks, but nothing of us. When we got back from vacation, I was a wreck and I went to my first meeting with my therapist. Since my relationship was the topic on my mind, we talked about that. For over an hour I spilled my guts about how I felt and how the relationship made me feel, and she told me “Everything you’re telling me, you need to go home and tell Ashley.” I felt better, but wasn’t looking forward to the talk when I got home. “So how did your appointment with the therapist go?” Ashley was on the bed, reading a comic book or novel. She reads a lot. I sat down on the bed and for about 15 minutes I told her what I had been telling the therapist and how I felt about our relationship. Ashley just stared at me and when I was done, said “I don’t know what to say to that.” “I don’t know what to say to that.” A million #####ing things that she could have said, and THAT’S what she says? Not “I didn’t know you felt that way,” or “Okay, let’s work on this together.” No, she just says “I don’t know what to say to that,” before going back to her reading. Later that week we got in a small fight. I had been cleaning up some stuff in the living room, and she had made a comment – the fight was dumb and it escalated quickly. She got off the couch and start storming out saying "Keep it up and I’ll break up with you!” “Like you weren’t already in the process of it?” “Fine, I’m breaking up with you!” And with that, she went off to the bedroom. I didn’t bother responding; she broke up with me for the last time. I wasn’t going to chase after her any more. I was done with the mind games, done with the immaturity, done with her #####. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I calmly walked over to my Xbox 360, popped in a CD of classical music by Vivaldi, and chilled on the couch for two hours before going to sleep on the sofa. We didn’t talk until Monday. Frankly, I didn’t care. My parents and friends asked me if I was going to take her back, and I flatly said no every single time. Unless she was willing to admit that she was wrong on some stuff herself, and willing to see a therapist…no, even then I’d still say no. I’d had it. I was done being the one running after her, picking up all of the pieces after she’d gotten upset over something else. I was ready to move on, and my folks were pleased with that. Not only was I starting to take care of myself (I had also gotten the ball rolling on having a sleep study done to check for sleep apnea), but I was moving forward with my life. It surprised me how many of my friends had apparently been tolerating Ashley all this time. They were ready to talk ##### about her until I said “You know, I hope she finds what she’s looking for in life. I hope she’s successful and happy with whatever she ends up doing.” Most people thought I was going to be mean-spirited about the whole thing, but I was ready to move on. If Ashley was still in my life in some capacity, great. If not, so be it. I began looking at apartments with my co-worker and friend Jess, as she had just gotten out of a relationship at the same time as me. She could afford more, so she was able to find an apartment faster than I. Apartment hunting was absolute hell because there wasn’t a lot that I could afford by myself, none of my friends needed roommates or were looking to move out on their own, and all of the super-cheap places had already been snapped up by college kids. I’ll tell you what – August is a #####ing terrible time to go apartment hunting if you’re poor. Things at the apartment I was sharing with Ashley were going no better. There were a few times where she’d keep me up for a few hours at a time because she felt the need to ask me questions (“Were you cheating on me?” “Why are you being so immature?”) and prattle on about what a great catch she was, I’d never find another girl like her (I #####ing hope not!). Then I got a call from Ashley asking what time I’d be home, as she was making dinner for us. My heart sank because I knew this was a trap. But then again, what if it wasn’t? What if she just decided that we should try to be peaceful until we go our separate ways? I came back to the apartment after work and found that she had made pork chops and scalloped potatoes, two of my favorite foods. I knew immediately that this wasn’t her just trying to be friendly, and I wanted to get the ##### out of there. I don’t know why I stayed. Overall, dinner was nice. We chatted about the nerdy things we usually discussed and laughed over things, but inside I wanted to die and just plain get the ##### out of there. We started talking about our relationship, and I started to cry as I told her I was more scared for her. I felt like she was becoming self-destructive and throwing away great opportunities (she had been working on a feminist paper about the Marvel Comics character She-Hulk, which she’d hoped to submit to a pop culture journal, with a shortened version going to some feminist magazine like Bitch or Ms.). We agreed that we should try to be peaceful and see where things went, but she asked that I not make it clear on Facebook that we had broken up – her mom was going through a nursing program, and Ashley didn’t need her getting wind of what had happened and focusing on Ashley instead of her studies. Because I liked – loved, really – her mother, I agreed to it. The mood in the apartment worsened over the next few days, to the point where I didn’t even want to be there. I couldn’t live there anymore, and so I’d do everything I could to stay away from it. I ended up sleeping on friends’ couches and floors for over a month so I didn’t have to be there. Jess had found an apartment by then, so after I got out of work I spent my evenings helping her get the place cleaned, painted, and moving stuff in. It got my mind off all of the other crap going on in my life, and as I discovered, painting rooms is an incredibly relaxing activity. As the Fall semester got closer, I started panicking. I didn’t have enough to afford my textbooks, much less the deposit for an apartment. My parents made it clear that they would help me any way that they could, including paying the deposit and first month’s rent for any apartment that was safe and I could afford. There were a number of places I had checked out, all of them #####ty because of crappy areas (one landlord told me that he wouldn’t be out on the street with $100 in his pocket after 11 PM, which is great because I’d be coming home from work at 11:30 with a laptop) or #####ty landlords (overcharging for places in dire need of repair, outrageous rules). I actually reported one of the landlords to the housing authority after a wonderful 20-minute phone conversation about how he was violating the PA Tennant Act with his rules for his apartments. It got to the point where Jess gave me a cut-off point; if I had not found a place to live by September 15, I could move in with her. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Lunchebox on 21 June 2014, 09:36:04 That sounds rough as #####, Speed. Glad you got out of that and that you got yourself into a better relationship.
I got back into my old careerfield as I learned that 1) Holy ##### working for minimum wage #####ing sucks and 2) Going back to school with such a hazy goal was a bad idea. Building up money again so I can move back out on my own and take care of a few debts. The job is stressful, but it feels good to be back in a career where I know what's up and can get things done. Plus, with a little effort, I can move up to a better position with better pay and be able to take more time off. P.S. Speed, go ahead and name your child Optimus Prime. All the other kids' names will be far dumber and no one will be able to make fun of him. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Meanwhile, I'm fine because I don't need much, although I wish the chair I'm sleeping in was a little more comfortable.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Teelio on 12 February 2019, 00:10:26 I shall be receiving some back surgery come this Wednesday morning.
Long story short, I've suffered from some major back pains and sciatica since the beginning of September, visited the ER twice in one month, suffered cabin fever while working from home, lack of sleep, blah blah blah... It's called "L4/L5 Lumbar Extrusion", or simply, a herniated disc. Been butting heads with my insurance since December on a neurosurgeon and we finally found one. However, today was the day I was given the green light to go through with a proper solution to a miserable series of pain and discomforts. So today was a good day. Take care of your posture and back, folks. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 12 February 2019, 14:35:10 Yooooo! I hope that goes well. Can I ask what your early signs were? I do a lot of power lifting and have hurt my back a few times, I know how debilitating that can be. My back pain always goes away after a while but it can come back if I'm not careful (just aggravated it a bit this weekend). I've actually wondered if the first time I hurt it I caused a bulging disc, or if it's just muscular. I get some pain in other areas that sounds similar, especially sciatica which I get sometimes while driving.
Really, health care is comparatively cheap here so I just get it looked at but it'd be interesting to hear your story. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 12 February 2019, 15:19:04 Hope it goes well as well TLO. Bring your switch so you can play Mega Man 11 while you recover.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Teelio on 17 February 2019, 23:04:09 Thanks Mikero. Sciatica is usually a telltale sign. Other conditions may vary among people though. My old man went through the same exact thing I'm currently dealing with many years ago, but the difference between the two of us is I have a "lean" when I stand and walk, whereas he was able to still stand up straight. Though we both suffered from sciatica down one/both of the legs.
The pain for me centralizes around the glutes and will frequently shoot down my legs and throb around the calves and ankles. I've tried chiropractic care, an inversion table, and hanging from a pull-up bar (with legs in a "sitting position"), but it was after I screwed my back up so there was barely any relief from those option. I never took care of my back/spine growing up, and only recently tried to be more conscientious of my posture. Hope it goes well as well TLO. Bring your switch so you can play Mega Man 11 while you recover. Thanks. Didn't consider it, but the Switch will be an excellent time-killer! Posted on: 12 February 2019, 12:31:35 The surgery was a success, but with them moving the nerve around to get to my spine, it flared it up terribly. Was bedbound for a couple days and had them prescribe me steroids, so now I'm able to walk semi-normally (have to use a walker to stand up and move about the house still). Now I have a delicious scar on my lower back that looks like either a naval or sphincter, depending on your sense of humor. Still will be a while until I'm fully healed, but definitely on the right track. Surprisingly didn't need the Switch either, as they released me a couple hours post-surgery once the anaesthetic wore off. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 18 February 2019, 14:54:24 I guess the hospital is PS4 fan. Oh well, screw them!

Virtually healed up now and will be starting physical therapy next week. A six-week schedule to stand up straight. Moral of the story, take care of your spine or it will ##### you.

Hasbro has essentially killed the 3 3/4 line; Walmart got a stupid gold spraypainted two-pack line "honoring" each movie - it is believed that these are the final 5 points of articulation (5POA) figures that we'll see, which is a really #####ty way for the line to go out. There is no mainstream 5POA line for TROS. The only figures for the movie are being released through the Vintage series, which isn't terrible, but I also hate paying $15 for a figure like that. Honestly, Hasbro has been mishandling the line since The Force Awakens and although I doubt Disney will, I wouldn't mind the license going to someone else.

People really aren't into the Disney trilogy. Kids aren't really into toys, period. It's a bizarre thing, but toy sales are down all over because of video games and YouTube. Much like people watch "Let's Play" videos for games they're never going to get around to, kids are apparently watching unboxing videos or toy review videos instead of buying toys. Anywho, I got furloughed today. We were expecting it to happen a month or two from now, but the announcement came out of nowhere this morning. I've already filed for unemployment. The furlough is expected to last 60 days; at the end of it they'll either extend it by another 30 days, bring us back, or we get laid off.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Teelio on 8 September 2020, 15:24:43 Tomorrow marks the 1 week anniversary of my new "dream machine" - for work and play. I was scoping for months, but with school rushing in, I wasted too much time window-shopping.
Thanks to the great johncarllos! That shopping list you constructed was incredibly handy. I used it to compare specs of other PCs before I found one worthy to take home. Though I would have loved a custom-built one, I know too little about building PCs to trust myself in making one. This tower is an excellent starter though. No problems, smooth, silent, and sexy to boot. Looks like I may be able to explore VR afterall... Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 4 December 2020, 16:14:26 Congrats again John! I don't know about you but my fiancée and I have been holding off on plans with covid now, but I know other couples that have set dates for next year.
I started a new job, but at the same animation company I've been at for 10 years. I used to be the head of my department so it was a hard decision to go back to the bottom of another one, but I'm way happier at the moment. Basically I grew stagnant and bored at the top of that old dept., I wanted more stimulus and to become more versatile. I'm now a character builds and rigging artist, which is basically creating the in-program characters for animators to animate. It combines the technical Toon Boom stuff I was doing before with more drawing. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

I don't know about you but my fiancée and I have been holding off on plans with covid now, but I know other couples that have set dates for next year. Thank you again! Pretty much have everything planned already, just waiting now. Speaking of new jobs, I changed careers again! I'm now a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. Lots more hours, lots fewer days off, but once I'm a 'regular' the pay and benefits will be absolutely insane. I like the active life of the job too. It also feels nice to contribute to a service every day, and pretty much everyone is always happy to get their mail. Started a kidney stone today! Now I'm on 4 different medications to help with that. I'm also on day 3 of nothing but McRib diet. 🤔 Hmmmm. I don't see a correlation. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Thread Post by: Mikero on 5 January 2021, 16:27:46 Haven't been around much, I was in a bad place over the holidays due to losing my grandfather to COVID-19 in early December and I'm just starting to come out of all that now that I'm back at work and in a routine. Hopefully everyone had a better time over the past month, but I also wanted send out a happy birthday to our boy Speed!
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 5 January 2021, 17:58:41 Sorry for you loss. Hopefully 2021 will be a much better year all around.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Johncarllos on 8 January 2021, 01:42:07 Happy Belated Birthday, Speed!
Sorry to hear that news, Mike. I can't even imagine what that must be like, especially with all the hoaxers out there. Glad you're back into your routine, hope things are looking up. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Mikero on 11 January 2021, 19:01:38 Thanks guys. The good thing is we were able to manage celebrating his 100th birthday in September at least. But honestly even at 100 years-old, him losing his life to this pandemic rather than just old age feels like robbery.
I think a lot people just say "well they're old" which is fine under normal circumstances but this is basically a case of others being irresponsible. He lived in a veteran's home in Montreal, and Quebec has been absolutely terrible about keeping Covid out of old age homes this whole time. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 24 January 2021, 15:35:06 My house's furnace ##### the bed on Thursday and isn't getting fixed until tomorrow (Monday). We're pretty much just bundling up and staying undearneath tons of blankets. Thankfully it isn't too bad at night time.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 25 January 2021, 18:12:11 Pipes would be my big worry with that.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 23 February 2021, 15:20:24 Pipes would be my big worry with that. Funny you should say that, because a pipe connection burst on Friday for a good 15 minutes. Got water on my Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Sony PlayStation, Rock Band drum kit and a box of my Star Wars stuff. Then Sunday night my wife discovered that the water got a lot farther in the basement. So with that, I lost a couple of DVDs, about half of my Star Wars books (which were never supposed to be in the basement in the first place, thanks #####ty movers!), and I have about 800 CDs to go through to inspect for water damage. State Farm wants the games consoles tested and cleaned before they'll move for replacement, so I have to get in touch with my local indie video game store later this week. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 23 February 2021, 20:28:03 I'd tell insurance to ##### off, refurbished electronics are not ideal. They should just replace your stuff, like they're suppose to. Are you looking at getting enough from them to replace all the games/cds/movies?
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 28 February 2021, 23:03:13 I'd tell insurance to ##### off, refurbished electronics are not ideal. They should just replace your stuff, like they're suppose to. Are you looking at getting enough from them to replace all the games/cds/movies? I've got a $500 deductible, which I may hit after the video game systems are cleaned, laundry done, and list submitted of everything that got damaged. I finished going through the CDs with my brother, and there's a bunch of indie/punk compilations that are expensive as ##### now, along with a couple of indie 90s bands that never went anywhere and it looks like there's no discography listed online. So this should be fun to see what they have to say. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 1 March 2021, 02:54:02 Hopefully you can even FIND replacements for some of that, money aside. I don't know how much video game stuff you had or from which eras, but some of it will EASILY push you past that $500. Look at whatever it's going for on Price Charting or other tracking sites, and double that price. That's what ebay will cost you to get it. I hope you're able replace it all though.
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 1 March 2021, 14:32:11 I'll be honest, if insurance moves to replace them, I doubt I'll replace the retro systems. We don't have the time to play everything and the money could be used elsewhere.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Edgecrusher on 9 March 2021, 03:13:25 I was migrating some of my old archived files between RAIDs when I rediscovered the Ask Doctor Wiley comics I hung on to from... however-many years ago.
It filled me with a warm nostalgia, and I thought to myself "I wonder whatever happened to The MMM" Lo and behold it's still here, though it looks as though Rez and Speedy are pretty much the last men standing. (Makes sense that it'd be a couple MMM OGs) I don't know that I have anything worthwhile to contribute to what remains of this place, but I want you guys to know that I miss you all and the community we shared here. I hope you are all happy and well, wherever life has taken you. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 9 March 2021, 06:16:18 Yo Edge! Good to see you! Several folks still pop in once in a great while. Abe just updated the board version/code a few months back, which is why it's not skinned. Hopefully he gets a chance to do that soon.
I'm still just as bitter as always (even more so!) as you can probably tell from my posts. Hop on over to Discord, I'm usually on (since AIM was nuked). I'll DM you my ID. I actually reread Ask Dr. Wily not that long ago myself. It's a timeless classic that should be revisited every so often. Truly the pinnacle of the 2nd age of the Matrix. Though Professor Hazard had me beat every which way on the comics. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 15 March 2021, 22:39:14 Hey Edge! Awesome to see you! Hope you're doing well.
Update on my consoles - I took them over to Complete In Box (an independent video game/comic book store in the Lancaster, PA area) and they were kind enough to test out all three, and all three work without issue! So hooray for that! Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 17 March 2021, 21:23:38 That's good to hear at least!

Your cat's life was made better by living with you. I hope this doesn't stop you from getting another cat. There are too many sad and lonely cats out there. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Xero on 4 July 2021, 13:37:27 I have 2 other cats but once they pass I think I'm done with pets, they still have some years to go.
Max was actually my other brother's cat but he gave him to us along with another cat as his wife was going to have a baby. He was very affectionate and always followed me around. Each of the cats had a favorite human. Nemo (an orange cat) gravitated towards my dad, Jasmine gravitated towards my Mom and Max gravitated towards me. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Sorry to hear that, Xero. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Snare on 4 July 2021, 15:18:26 I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is hard. I still feel the loss of my little budgie friend and that was over two years ago. I still bring flowers to the spot he's buried.
He was such a good bird, though. He'd follow me everywhere and would fly to you upon request. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 7 November 2021, 14:41:08 Yo, so ##### State Farm with all of that water damage stuff from last year. I kept submitting the documentation/photos they wanted, and they kept coming back with a new "oh well now we need xyz" every two weeks and then in a email saying that all paperwork had to be done by a certain date (which had then passed).
Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: TheRedPriest on 10 November 2021, 02:11:04 What? They can't possibly get out of having to pay a claim by just asking for more and more stuff until the date runs out.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Snare on 29 December 2021, 18:54:24 It was only a matter of time. Just make sure your wife plays lots of classic Mega Man speedruns for him while he's growing in her tumtum. Gives them a little boost in the ol' brain development. There's no science behind it but I think it should work.

Everyone at my work and in my family has had Covid between Thanksgiving and now. I got out of quarantine 2 days before Christmas, and my wife tested positive a couple days after.

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 28 March 2022, 22:12:33 So I got prescribed Zoloft by my doctor. I haven't told many people about it, but I finally decided to do something about my mental health instead of slapping on a band-aid of seeing a therapist every 8-10 years. My brain has finally shut up, and I've started waking up at 7 AM without an alarm AND I have energy. Is this what normal people feel like? I'll still be seeing a therapist in early April, but it feels good to have finally got the ball rolling.

It's a top floor apartment in a rural part of a town in southern Ontario. I have a view of a sunrise, the town's water tower, and a garbage-laden landscape of yellow grass where the most interesting thing you'll see is a seagull being flung across the sky by the wind. Got a promotion so I can afford it. Kind of. My combined income with my wife really does not take us as far as I thought it would. We thought we would be paying off a mortgage at this point, but ##### happens. But it's really nice, and it's really quiet. And I might just be able to actually focus on things, walk more, and probably start eating healthier because we don't have to share a kitchen. I guess we'll see! I really should also talk to a doctor about zoloft or something similar. Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"

Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?" Thread Post by: Speed Racer on 8 April 2022, 22:27:51 My wife is on the same. Like night and day for her. I already really like the new job I'm in, but I feel like I could do this work all day. Curious how I would have felt if I was still working retail IT. Everything feels more manageable now instead of a huge spiral of despair, and it's not a constant focus of being a #####-up and self-hatred. I feel generally chill and I've noticed I've started eating less (a potential side effect of Zoloft). Title: Re: The "How Was Your Day?"
