Dropped my ipad today. I've never had much good to say about ATT except that they're better than Verizon, but their Assurion insurance is worth the money. Filed the claim at ~2:30 this afternoon. When I started the claim I got an "out of stock on this model" message. 4 hours later a replacement was picked up by FedEx. Their website is informing me that since they were out of 16gb they shipped a 64gb.

That is a very lucky and very huge upgrade.

It gets even better. They sent me a brand new one, not a refurb.

Now I don't know whether to keep it or sell it. I really don't need 64gb.

I vote sell it, then buy yourself another 16gb one and roll around the floor in the excess money you have.

Or thats what i would do anyway...

That jazz concert was one of the highlights of the weekend. I've looked all over for their music online, but no luck. In other words, you should try to be a good hipster and enjoy something most others will never experience.

The hell I will!

I'm not sure about any of them...I guess we'll find out next time!

Rest assured that I will begin to finger the hilt of my battleaxe on the erst instance of discontentment. Or someone elses, as they tend to confiscate mine on the airport.

I would suggest throwing a set of kettles down a mountainside or visiting some pre-automated shipyard for a similar effect. :unworthy:

Here's some of that Moonsorrow I talked about. Now we can compare who has an ~~kvlter and heathener and trollisher~~ odder taste in music.

My taste in music isn't odd, it's just perfect. In the vein of Brutter, I introduce another Finnish band: Beherit: https://www.youtube....h?v=afaaHXLqUus. A bit more accessible drum line than Brutter, I suppose, but you guys suck at being hipsters so it may suit you more.

we're back online! after 4 months of sorry we're working on it etc....they finally came in and installed the thing in less than an hour. our predicament started when we got kicked out of our pad earlier this year and by virtue of our luck found the only house in this city without some form of fiberoptic-phoneline-cable connection, and our house was the only one that was off the grid in the middle of all other houses! hilarious.

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.

You have mentioned this love of cold, ice, and snow before. Are you sure you don't want to move to Canada?

Or if it is just constant cold and miserable weather you want, the North of England would suit you.

So the gf swung right around and now is doing all kinds of research on flats, houses, shopping opportunities etc in Cork. She's becoming rather enthusiastic. I'm a really lucky bastard.

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.

Following on from all my house happiness, we now live just down the road from the site of the Battle of Towton (the Wars of the Roses) - which is one of my favourite periods of history. I'mma going battlefield walking! :wacko:

Also, Fiddler has yet to live up to his namesake and so far has not found a way to destroy/blow up anything.

This makes me both happy, and makes me laugh uproariously.

Seriously, mocking this guy for attempting to be a "revolutionary" but allowing his words to get lost in a miasma of verbal diarrhea...the most apt thing to do is shout PARKLIFE at him.

Gods, I can't stop laughing. The vines that people have crafted for this are genius!

That's brilliant QT. Russell Brand is a bit of a douche and thinks a bit much of himself (while thousands hail him as a hero of the people or some such) so that made me laugh a lot! :wacko:

It's on S2 now and despite a few teeny boppy moments it's quite a cool show.

I really like it, for a CW show I am quite surprised they went into such dark territory. Almost done with s2e3 from pftv. If they avoid repeating the same theme over and over like CW does this show has plenty of content potentially to avoid that pitfall...i hope.

Though them being all beat up and bloody <cut, stabbed, broken> is getting old!
