PARTY ALL NIGHT

EAT BRAINS ALL DAY


I just bought new dice and bag but I'm going to give them to my new player as a welcome gift.
But I'm jealous because they are green with gold lettering and the bag looks like it should be in Legend of Zelda.

I always feel weird about ordering only a few items from Amazon so I bought a comic book and some aftershave.

Your life and your quest end here.


I contacted Microsoft support because of an issue I'm having with Windows Movie Maker. There wasn't a support option for that particular product so I went to the general Windows one and asked the representative if they could help me with my problem. A loving hour later, after an incredibly frustrating conversation in which they would not give a simple or direct answer to any question, I finally established that the answer was "No, I can't help you with that." :psyduck:

GARVASE DAY!

I'm all caught up on this thread so I no longer have a backlog for when people don't post in my bookmarked threads fast enough.

I bought a live wallpaper with survey reward bucks then found out it was abandoned and there's a free, better variant. If I didn't pay for that I could afford infinite turns in TripleTown, the less crashy of my two preferred options I have for entertainment without WiFi.

I found another cool free live wallpaper also, and one would go better on my lock screen, but you can only have a live lock screen if it's also your wallpaper.

There's a whole bunch of things that are FWPs in terms of the free game Warframe, so that's like FWP^2.

The soundtrack for Wicked is the Broadway cast and not my preferred one, a recording I found was from a dodgy cassette or something and has horribly inconsistent speed/pitch, like the crowd noises aren't bad enough (and finding them was going to be a friend's birthday present!), it really blows that for $100+ you can only see stage productions once when I'd kill to relive it, and the only place on the forums to discuss musicals was a short-lived PYF thread.

I've mentioned them in the relevant Games thread and in the clan chat in-game but I mean stuff like one of my characters being so powerful I don't use the others and not getting quite as much of a rare-ish resource from a bountiful grind as I would have liked because I've been using them on rare poo poo I'm lucky to have. (Fusion cores from triton on rare mods if you play the game, I'm not sure from your post if you have or not)

Yes, I had meant that I had been dumb and put money into that game. I know exactly what you mean, I have nearly 600 hours in it, and probably half of it has been with the same equipment.

Current FWP: I've gotten used to going to bed early, that now my attempt to stay up late to play videogames has been going poorly.

I threw like 30 bucks or less at Warframe because I liked it so much and thought they deserved at least that much. I guess the FWP is I don't play it enough anymore so I have some amount of premium cash sitting on my account doing nothing. It might not be a lot, I think I spent most of it on warframe/weapon slots. I think the last time I played the dogs were the new thing or it was the event after that.

Although unlike you guys when I did play I delighted in getting new frames and building them up, think I was working on Nyx last time I played. Even then I probably used Loki and Rhino the most, but they were my first two after all.

I forgot to bookmark some things before I turned off my computer and for some reason my Chrome history got deleted, so I can't find them, UGH.

My computer basically is good enough for most of the games I want to play, but it doesn't have enough room to install everything I want to have on it.

I was planning on having a party in 2 weeks but got invited to a friend's going away party on the same day so now I have to move mine. Life is so hard.

It's more for other people at work who might be using it, my keyboard at home is mostly blank. Also without legends they'd just be white and boring, gotta take style into account.

FWP: It's raining and I forgot my "beater shoes" in the car so I had to wear my new brown shoes that I didn't really want to get wet even though they're probably fine.

Excel (at least excel 2003, the one I use) only allows for a maximum of 256 columns. Rows can be any number, columns are limited to 256 :iiam:

There is a limit to the number of rows in Excel. In 2003 it's 65536 rows. And in 2007 it's 1048576 rows. I actually had to work with a file that exceeded 2007's limit... and then another half, which was fun.

I'm trying to grow my hair out a bit, and it's at a stage where it's looking kinda ratty. I want to just get a trim, tighten things up a little, but the salon I go to charges me extra for having thick, curly hair, and I don't want to pay fifty bucks+tip for a maintenance haircut.

On the other hand you can :laugh: at Samsung for just going ahead and making a smartphone called that without considering what happened to what your name is a reference to. :)

For content, I found a worse game to have FWPs in-game and hence FWPs^2 than a f2p game: a f2p phone game, TripleTown. I actually get irritated when I get a bush or tree to place because I had something all planned out with just plain grass.

So I went back to IKEA and saw a thing that I wanted because it could replace a thing of furniture I don't like, but I hadn't measured the space at home so I didn't get the thing. Now I got home and measured, and it would fit PERFECTLY. But now I have to go back to IKEA yet again.

Also I got a set of silverwear but then I went to my parents house and realized I already had a set in their basement, but I don't want to return the IKEA one, it's only $7 but now I have two sets of silverware and I feel like a hoarder.

OH and also they don't have a lamp I want (GRÖNÖ) and it'll be out of stock until mid-November so I'll have to go back to IKEA yet yet yet again to get it.

So overall I have at least 2 future ikea trips planned. On the plus side I'll be breaking out the hammer drill to install poo poo into solid concrete/brick walls :unsmigghh:

Animals are like humans, always being dicks.
I have an infected wisdom tooth and I'm having an allergic reaction to the (non-penicillin) antibiotics they gave me. So I'm nauseous and my head hurts and I have a horrible rash and have to go to hospital. But, I live in the UK so none of this is costing me a penny.

Also, I love Halloween but this has meant writing it off completely. Just wanna dress up and have fun, not sit in hospital feeling like poo.
