"Upgraded" to Outlook.com tonight. Surprisingly, it does actually feel like an upgrade. Email messages are now threaded, like texts, things expand and collapse pretty smoothly, and I can even create an alias with @outlook.com on it, which just sounds less "suspicious email address" than the ol' @hotmail.com. Good stuff.

So you mean it is gmail?

Pretty much. Though honestly I prefer its aesthetic to Gmail's. The important thing is that hotmail is no longer woefully outdated.

Holy fuck. KYUSS is back together? I would pay anything to see & hear Blues for the Red Sun in its entirety.

But no Josh Homme. I suppose if they ask me nicely I'd fill in on guitar for them. Posted Image

Happy because I've just eaten an entire tin of salted anchovies.

Im sure you would do well, and that the rock gods have shined their light on you, but I ask, what is the point of Kyuss with no JH? Australian money grab?

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

Walking home from work today, I suddenly realised that I needed to hit the bathroom. As I kept walking, it became more and more of a pressing concern, I REALLY needed to get to that bathroom. With my iron will, originally developed as a means to cope with getting out of bed in the morning, I fought back the onslaught of urges to let my bowels have it their way and so completely ruin my day (and my pants). It was a close call, but with what later would become a textbook example of mind over matter, and also the cause for a new national holiday, I made it all the way back home, to safety, to liberation from the oppressive tyrant that is REALLY needing to hit the bathroom. Drunk on the sweet nectar of victory, I celebrated with a glorious visit to my second favourite toilet, accompanied by the magazine of my choice and the fanfare of a thousand trumpets.

If you've ever needed to go really bad, you'll know exactly how incredible it is to finally do it.

TL;DR: I came, I saw, I conquered.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Made an offer on a house and it was accepted! Took some back and forth, but I got them to come down 20%.
Now to the remodeling!

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Plus it was in a park so all that PDA nonsense was too legit to quit. Or something.

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

Saw them at a festival two years ago. Played mostly from Sky Valley then, though (which, in my book, is far superior to anything else they've done). But yes, it was awesome (together with Monster Magnet and Grinderman).

Legalise drugs! And murder!

Whenever people talk about music, and the bands they go to see, I realize that you guys could be talking about completely fictional people and I'd have no idea.

Lol, me too, Stormy. XD

Making me happy: the fact that I've just had a (well-deserved, honestly) two-day break from work (I normally do six days a week part-time, and have been doing full-time the same for the past two weeks hot off the heels of a ten-day run of my regular hours without any time off, with exams for uni coming on the last day of my full-time stuff @.@ and yes, I went straight from my morning exam to my work...), and I'm looking forward to a whopping 15 days off work starting next Tuesday. Go me!

Also, the people posting about not having jobs in the groove thread has made me much more grateful for my own present employment, and reminded me of the positive attitude towards my work I've let slip lately. Thanks guys (not to rub salt in the wound or anything, sorryyy)!

OK so I, once again, officially state that I do not understand women at all. After having a fight after which I thought I'm in serious trouble, now the gf apparently wants me even more. And figuratively growling and being an asshole once in a while is, apparently, sexy.

I should just stop trying to understand and just go with the flow.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
