Had two birthdays in the last two days. Last night was a nice little shindig at a karaoke hotel-y place. A long corridor with separate rooms, where you could hire them out. Couches, drinks, microphones, it was pretty durned awesome

Had to lose my dignity several times....Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Rick Astley (to name but a few) but it was nice to just get into the spirit of things and I got to meet new people

I give this birthday a Tau Epsilon! (in-joke)

I have completed building my first PC!

tomorrow morning I shall purchase a monitor and *shudder* copy of Windows¹ *shudder*, and then i'll see if it all works properly.

I haz a new preciousssss............
Best part: whole thing will cost me round $600. and yet in store a similar build would cost me twice as much and come pre-loaded with manufacturer's crap.

¹ Can't believe i'll be paying for somehting M$oft made..... I AM growing up...

Welcome to the forums Starling

I'd just like to know though... What do you mean "get paid for it"? Surely this is a jest?

Wasn't planning to due to a short time span, but I put up some Christmas lighting in my bedroom just like previous years and I'm enjoying it now.

Got three days off from work after Christmas with only Friday coming in for a stock count.

Our pup is napping in my bed and it feels like she's begging me to jump back in to cuddle for the next hour or so.

In consultation with Luci and Shiara, I just ordered what should be a sweet new desktop PC to arrive either just before or just after the new year.

On the downside, if I was in Europe or North America it probably would have only cost half as much. Still, it's a pretty good setup for what I was willing to pay.

Yes, from football that you can actually watch instead of the two hour long fall over and pretend you got hurt when there is no one near you football

You bait, I'll bite

You mean the football where every 15 seconds there's a minute stoppage time because the people on the field and their coaches on the byline need to talk about how they're going to get the next 3 yards of advancement, and where there is no fluidity of play because you can only pass the ball once?

Don't get me wrong, the more I watch American football, the more I like it (college football especially), but it has more stoppage time, far less flexibility and is more repetitive than euro football.

Yup thats the one. Perfect stoppage time for taking a drink of beer and talking to your friends. Think of each game of US football as a war, and each play is a battle between opposing forces, and each set of downs are a campaign to invade the enemy territory. Because that is how it is setup.
