My wife got some news where she needed to fly home immediately. With all that is going on I wanted to make sure she arrived in comfort so I got her a business class seat on a 787 Dreamliner so she could hit the ground rested.



Nice pod setup; I'm looking forward to trying it out myself on a future trip.
...that's an option you can get on some planes? drat, that's dope.

I mean, I've flown coach every time I've flown in my life, but you have to pass the premium class to get to coach, and I've never even seen a premium class look like this when I've passed by one.

I use my Waterpik for irrigating/cleaning out my ears every couple weeks, which saves me from having to make regular trips to the ENT like I used to when I was younger. Although mine just broke recently, so I ordered a new Aquarius one on Amazon the other day. It should be here tomorrow. Looks to be a more compact version of what I had. It's apparently the #1 Best Saller for oral irrigators or something and has tons of good reviews, so that's cool.

Has this ever caused you any problems?, how far in does the water go? My ears have been feeling kind of stuffy recently and I've been thinking I should make an appointment to get them syringed, but it would be so much easier to be able to do it regularly at home. A few years ago I had them syringed un-professionally and it caused me all kinds of problems so I'm kind of apprehensive to do anything like this.
Nope, no problems so far! My ENT actually recommended that I do it. I've been doing it for....I want to say 8 or 9 years at this point? And it's always helped. It may not be quite as thorough as having an ENT do it, but large chunks of wax come out every time, so it makes a noticeable enough difference.

You just have to make sure the pressure is on a low setting because you don't want it to hurt you, and if it's on low, it really doesn't.

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Golden Edition

I've had my current card (GTX 770) for about a year now and it's worked perfectly fine for me in the time I've owned it, but I wanted to upgrade before GTA V came out for PC. It ended up getting delayed a few days ago, but oh well. At least I'll have this installed and can test it out and see what it's got to offer before GTA V comes out. This one comes factory overclocked and it has a copper heatsink, so it's supposed to run much cooler and quieter than the regular MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G, which was already the coolest/quietest 970 on the market from what I've heard.

Gonna put my 770 up for sale as soon as I get this baby installed, if anyone's interested :v:

Step 1 -- Buy Feathers

Step 3 -- Throw away all other razors

I ordered my first safety razor (an Edwin Jagger) and a 50 ct pack of Feathers in the same order from Amazon last week. For some reason they shipped separately and my razor already got here but my Feathers won't arrive for at least a few days. My razor came with a 5 ct pack of blades but I'm waiting until my Feathers get here to shave with it. I've heard they're that good.

I've had a Malm (in dark brown) since mid-2006 and it's still perfectly fine. No signs of wear or anything. On the other hand, whatever desk I bought at IKEA in that same trip in '06 shows lots of wear even though I've never been particularly rough on it or anything. I need to replace this thing soon.

How are the Swans these days? I was super into them in the late 90's but my attention faded.
Pretty fantastic, but they're mostly playing newer material live now, and their newer stuff is different from what they were making in the 90s. I liked the show a lot though. It felt like an endurance test for the crowd, as the show was sold out but only half the crowd was left by the end, but if you stuck with it until the end like I did, you were treated to a real satisfying conclusion (although I enjoyed the entire thing, personally).

I guess I'll see how it goes. I put like 10 gigs worth of music on a flash drive I already had after I got the car to test out the USB port and it had no trouble shuffling songs. If it gives me trouble once I put more on there...well that'll suck haha
