That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
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.


A $1k ASD R32 GTR would be a bad idea since most have been trashed to death. A R32 GTS on the other hand will probably be find but keep in mind it has a babby RB in it. Also hope you have fun.

Nailed it as hard as half of Dallas has nailed Cindy Scull.

The Edge has been in a downhill slide for years though - ever since they did away with locally produced shows. I was a big fan of Edgeclub and The Adventure Club, though Josh (of Adventure Club fame) doesn't even live in DFW anymore. DJ Merritt is still in the area, but he was just another DJ on the Edge after Edgeclub ended.

Scull is still on the air, but they have her on morning drivetime now. Not much talking, mostly music.

It looks like KEGL kept one or two KDGE DJs.

Its been like 10 years since I last saw her in person doing hosting for a concert, but I'd probably still tap that. And the edge was on a downhill slide before I moved to florida. Any time I tuned over, it was boring slow alternative bullshit and no really memorable DJs.

Though apparently KEGL they nixed Chris Ryan which is terrible and shows they don't ever learn. Dude's afternoon show was awesome growing up. :allears:

Bets on how long until the edge is back with a slightly modified format when they figure out every other radio demographic is completely oversaturated?

Windows 10 decided to replace my laptop's audio drivers with ones that don't work. I'm amazed at a) the fact it happened and b) the volume of people on the support forums who haven't had to janitor their own PC before and can't figure out how to fix it.

Random question of the day: What keeps you motivated?

I have my own issues going on, but I realized a while ago I have no goals. I wake up each day wondering why I keep going when there's no point. Yet somehow at the 10% of normal I'm working at, I'm still more productive then my friends. It's just so crippling. I'm not trying to jump on the millennial "I need to do something meaningful bandwagon", but gently caress it sure feels better when I feel like I have a purpose. Right now, I'm just standing in a dimly lit field, wondering why am I here?

Setting goals helps out a lot, I find...and they don't need to be huge, life-changing goals either. For example, I had two very inconsequential goals today; first, push that loving Automation game challenge I've been working on for the last year out the door, and second, go to the gym and lift my pre-holiday weight again.

Got both done, and it feels good, silly as that sounds. Tomorrow's goal is to knock down some very annoying and time-consuming administrative tasks at work that I've been putting off for a while now.

Both, I'm stuck in both places. I set little goals all the time just to get through the week. But there's nothing I'm working towards at the moment. I have a decent skill set and most likely won't be without good employment, and I can afford my lifestyle/hobbies. I just feel, empty. I know this is a first world problem, but it's just getting worse. I've just retreated back to being a quiet, hobbit again and It's getting me no where. I've been pondering the idea of buying a piece of property and building a cabin as a project/goal/timesink just to keep myself busy.

You should try exchanging the paper for items at a grocery store. They are much more filling and nutritious than paper.

I dunno, that's a pretty acute condition, and I still feel like death warmed over a good 2.5 days later, drinking plenty of water and staying cool. Plus I was never delirious or anything.

I've had some... digestive issues... crop up, so maybe it was just a bug hitting me at exactly the wrong time? Idk, all I know is I've had killer headaches, progressing to stiff/sore neck and jaw this morning. I'm already planning on skipping my redeye class tomorrow (well technically today now, but w/e).

Just getting over a four day plague that has absolutely wrecked me. Hellaciously sore throat, coughing, throat and sinus plugged up with thick yellow mucus, fever, and just general shittyness. It's not bad enough to be flu (and I feel 1000% better today) but goddamn if this isn't the head cold from hell.

Called off work Thursday and Friday and spend those days and then pretty much the whole weekend in bed. Feels bad man.

Half the time it's some form of being annoyed or upset at myself for not doing better at X. I think that's kind of how it is for most people though.

Inertia. I get out of bed and go to work because that's what's expected of me. Then I come home, turn on a video game, and rot in my chair until time to sleep 5-6 hours and get back up to do it again.

I am lucky in that I have a job that is fulfilling now after removing myself from the eternal misery that is IT. I moved over to product development for a small company and it is much better. Prior to that then it was very much inertia. Now since I am making good money I have decided that I need to save for a house before I am 35, planning on purchasing around this time next year right now and getting enough money saved now for retirement which understandably is a bit of a mental step when you are in your early 30's and thinking about making sure you have enough money in your 60's so you are not working as a greeter in Walmart.

I have taken some risks to get to this point, moved 4000 miles from home and changed the area that I work in but I am happier for it but there are points when it could have gone badly wrong and you just have to learn from those. Best example was about 6 months into living in the US I burnt my arm pretty badly while cooking and to my commie British mind I paid no heed to getting into an ambulance and taking me off to ER to have it looked at. Of course when the bills started coming in I had to wonder if I would have been better off just getting the bus to the hospital :v:
