Hehe yah. I'm not too into them anymore, but everyday before high school I would read the advice column in the newspaper because it was in the same pages as the comics, and you could pretty much always spot the letters from people who obviously wanted their side of a dispute confirmed rather than seeking actual advice.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Helped out a friend who's strapped for $$$ by paying her to give me a good ol'fashioned barbershop shave. Feels smoother than obsidian! That's smooth, right?

Promotion at work. Extra money, extra responsibility. It will eventually mean no more working directly with the kids. I have mixed emotions about that part.

My cousin is graduating from Sapper school today. I'm incredibly proud. I hope they give her some cussers.

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.

Ha we know what's on Bliss's mind!

No-brainer. Everyone wants to know what it's like to poop in space.

We've just booked a weeks holiday on a narrow boat - plan is to do the Oxford South, reckoned to be one of the most scenic. A week of gently puttering from canalside pub to canalside pub taking in the country, woo.

Many books will be required I think, considered started a complete SE re-read but that much paper may well sink the boat.

Now we just have to hope summer shows its face for more than a day or two!

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.

MECHANICAL KEYBOARD FTW!!!!

Hehehhe, this is sooooo awesome! I just purchased a new desk for my room, which is eventually going to have a desktop computer, speakers, a nicely sized monitor (eventually-er, two of them, probably 23") and so forth, but atm I'm just connecting my keyboard to my laptop which is sitting where the screen will live. The clacking is just...indescribably awesome~! And the feel...this is going to ruin me for my work keyboards, unfortunately.

(At least my laptop's keyboard was more-or-less full-size, so I'm not suffering too much "new keyboard syndrome", unlike when I had my little Alienware with it's midget keyboard...work keyboards probably also help. XD)

OH GOD. SO MUCH WIN JUST TYPING THIS POST!! All you regular keyboard users: you don't know what you're missing out on (or there is something wrong with you)!

I do know what I'm missing out on. This island style keyboard often used on new, slim laptops (like mine) is horrible to type on. Especially if you're used to mechanical ones, as I've got at work and my old laptop.

Last night, at my grandfather's beach house, I had the most mind-bogglingly clear night.

I looked up at the sky, and then suddenly it was 20 minutes later, and my neck hurt.

Ok Sil for us comp illiterate people what is a mechanical keyboard? Lol

Ahhh. Essentially the keys are activated by a mechanical switch (think a sliding piston kind of deal) being depressed rather than in most "regular" keyboards a rubber dome is more-or-less squashed to complete the circuit. So it gives you a really tactile key depression seeing as the action is more defined and, well...mechanical. XD Plus if you get certain types they "click" really quite loudly too due to the action.

If you want a more detailed explanation (the overview is good, too) in a more informed manner than I can relate briefly here, I highly recommend this guide on overclock.net.

They're the old fashioned keyboards everyone had on their desktop before laptops. Compared to the slender versions of keyboards common now-a-days, mechanical keyboards have (for the most part) glorious tactility and travel time. After years of shallow laptop keyboards, it may take a little time to get used to, but once you've picked one up you'll never want to go back.

Finally home after a long weekend at the beachhouse.

Having a beer, feeling somewhat adequate.

My dad, my uncle and I moved ~a ton (2000 lbs) of sand that had washed into the driveway (which is the hazard of property that's on the beach). (EDIT) We really should have rented a bobcat.

So now the driveway is nice and serviceable, at least until the next big storm.
