I may have just fixed the gearshift on my friend's bike (that he hasn't ridden in ~a year) for him.

I'm drunk, and I am resisting the urge to take it for a test ride....

I probably will anyhow. But riding through my friend's neighborhood in San Francisco is highly ill-advised. It's even odds that I'd get stopped by the cops, or mugged.

I'm gonna let the idea marinate for a few minutes.

You live in San Fran, or just visiting?

I still heart Goodkind.

Finally went and bought the Republic DLC for Crusader Kings II. Don't know where 6 hours of my life went yesterday evening playing as Gotland. Goddamn but it makes the game fresher! Can't wait for Old Gods.

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.

The Republic is heaps fun, but there's an argument that they're a little overpowered. Particularly Gotland who have no rivals in the north at all until the Hansa show up. Being able to make so much gold is awesome, but being able to take on the HRE as the republic of Sicily is a little crazy.

But come on Vikings! I'm running out of people to play as.

Had a terrific full day. Writing class, then lunch, then drama class, then a dance workshop. I'm pooped, but in the good way

Oh, and a girl in my class made me brownies! As payment for some homework assistance. They are YUMMY

so, the place I volunteered at last summer can't offer me a full-time articling position.

However, they are willing to give me contract work at a decent rate, so I can work there while I'm looking for a place to article.

So, in a nutshell: I have a temp job now, that'll pay me decent (though nothing awe-inspiring) wage. Which is ridiculously close to where I live, with people I already know.

Bought my first item for our first house (still don't know when we will be completing but meh). It's a gardening book!! I will be a gardener, I will, I will, I will. I'm planning a vegetable patch, some blossom trees and an English cottage/wild flower garden fusion with a herb garden tucked in near the house :thumbsup:

Then you don't have to get as much mulch (and you save money and you recycle bla bla bla).

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.

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.

Although it is re-confirming the life-long suspicion that old men really like me for some reason. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

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.
