Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


This isn't in the OP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwvlbJ0h35A and it pretty much should be. Also at lunch my order was dropped on the floor by the server so I had to wait another 15 minutes while everyone else theirs.

I got my friend an awesome birthday present, he said it was one of the best ones he'd ever received (Weapon Brown, btw), but this year, like last year and the year before, he will forget my birthday and then say it's because I am too hard to shop for. So let's get McDonalds instead.

My mom wants to keep one of our foster kittens, and I was cool with that, until three of our new fosters died. I spent so much time trying to keep them going (the entire litter was dropped at the shelter and the babies were already sick and underweight) and kinda stopped playing with Brady. Now I don't care if we keep her or not, my mom won't decide, and I have someone who is interested in her, but goes in for major surgery in another week but wants her NOW.

I helped my best friend unfuck his new video card and he gave me the old one. It physically will not fit in my stupidly tiny tower and even if it did my power supply is less than half the minimum needed to run it. But I'm so close to having enough money saved up to buy all the parts of a new computer entirely that I can't justify getting a bigger case/power supply before then.

Haha I'm aware it didn't live up to the hype but I never pay any attention to the media around games. I'd played a bit at a pal's house and liked it and it was down from 70e to 30e.

Today's FWP is that I think my first night back training after snapping a ligament has inflamed the ligament.

I occasionally watch minecraft videos on YouTube and it drives me crazy that pretty much every one is by somebody who can't pronounce words like 'sieve' or 'excavator'. The only other videos are by literal children.

My current car lease is up in about 6 months and my fiance cannot drive it since it is a manual so I can't buy it out at the end despite the residual being hilariously low because we need something we can both drive. I like my GTI :saddowns:

I had this problem. It was a video card with a built in TV tuner, so it had this massive connector for a coax cable that wouldn't fit into my case. Thankfully I got a case with better made expansion slot covers from a friend for free.

Close, but not quite; It's like trying to fit a soda can into a space the thickness of a poptart :v: The novelty of this micro-tower wore off real loving quick-like, let me tell you. Just to put in some new RAM (who the gently caress thought that selling a computer with only 2 gigs of ram total was a good idea), I had to completely remove the hard-drive and the disk reader, that's how compact the space inside is.

What got me off my rear end to learn was the fact that the dumbest person I've ever met knew how to drive a stick (she'd actually never driven an automatic, on the basis that "the letters are too confusing"). If she could do it, it couldn't possibly that difficult. So I borrowed a friend's manual car for an afternoon and learned how to drive it.

Might just repot half of them in cheap containers and force them on random people. They will share my burden. Of tomatoes.

I tried, but my grandfather's idea of a suitable vehicle for the task was an UAZ469 where I could barely see above the instrument panel and could barely shift with both hands. Thanks gramps.

But if your car isn't lovely Soviet milsurp there's really no excuse.

One of my coworkers really wants us to see Insidious 3 tomorrow but I've been having deeply unsettling dreams about my friend who died 3 months ago and I don't think I need to give my subconscious any ideas. I really like horror movies, but not so much waking up at 3am irrationally paranoid my friend's corpse is standing over me. I have to turn on all the lights to calm down.

Horror movies might be out for a while.

I saw Jurassic World today and it was so loving cheestastic I kept cringing but at the same time it hit every single nostalgia button I didn't even know I possessed. Basically it rocked and yet was a terrible movie. Christ, you think Hammond was naive and reckless but he's rolling in his grave at these people running his park.
At one point I actually thought, "God, can we get back to the kids storyline now?" That was how bad some of the other stuff was, I actually wanted to see child actors gape at CGI dinosaurs.

But Chris Pratt tho. drat son. I watched Age of Ultron afterwards and didn't even give two shits about it. That's how good Jurassic World is. The park is open and I'm that dumb kid with the stupid haircut running impatiently down the hall, yelling "COME ON, COME ON!"

My only regret is that there wasn't a news blurb at the end of the credits with Ian Malcolm yelling "I told you" over and over.

You should definitely wait a week more imo. Might be different in your city, but I got there 30 minute early and it was packe. I had to sit all the way in the back on the left side. Nothing like sitting next to the speakers in a loudass movie.

Only two of our foster kittens can be neutered this weekend. All female kittens have to wait another 2 weeks because the clinic is booked solid.

A friend I rpg with is so loving happy with the new game she's made, and I don't have the heart to tell her it's so loving boring I find excuses not to play. There are only so many times your super special and powerful princesses from the future can try to seduce some random character before it gets dull. Yes yes I know her charm is at 10 or something but this poo poo is BORINg, but if I tell her my honest opinion she'll throw a fit and give me the silent treatment for a week or two.

My mom hasn't smoked in some years, but 20 years of it catches you hard. Every morning she scream-hacks up poo poo in her throat. She sounds bulimic half the time, and the gags and screamed coughs freak out the cats and usually make me peek around to make sure she's not having a heart attack. She gets snippy if I ask her to do this poo poo somewhere else, like outside, and says she can't help it. No, you can, but that would mean you couldn't play Farmville while you cough up solid mucus.


And lane leeches. People who ride in the lane nearest to the entrance/exit lane in the highway and refuse to move or speed up or let people on the highway, instead chugging along because in 5 miles they'll need to exit! I don't care if you leech, just loving MOVE or let people on! You want to drive in that lane for 40 miles, knock yourself out, but be loving courteous to everyone else on the road.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a 'problem' or not but according to speedtest.net my internet speed has gone up by a factor of loving ten :stare: I'm really, really hoping this doesn't come back to bite my wallet in the rear end. What the gently caress, Time Warner?

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
If you have Time Warner, I'm assuming it's cable internet? With cable, you're on a shared connection with several other people, so depending on time of day, who else is using it, etc... it's within the realm of possibility that it can go up that much.

Though it still depends on actual numbers...if you went from like 2-3 Mbps to 20-30, then that's normal, but if you went from like 20-30 Mbps to 200, then I'd say you might want to check your next bill to make sure you weren't "upgraded" without knowing.

I used to smoke, and there was one time about 8 years ago where Camel was giving out free packs at some lovely nightclub. When they checked my ID, they just grabbed it from me and swiped the magnetic strip. Weeks later I was getting coupons for Camel cigarettes at my mother's house on the other side of the country. I've never lived at that address, let alone that state. My mom didn't know I smoked prior to that, either. :sigh:
