And I managed twice in just three weeks to let my (probably genetically inherited) smarta$$ness take control of me and to explain in a highly benevolent and wise way claiming absolute competence and objectivity certain issues to certain people (who probably needed no explanations anyway) in such a wrong and bullshitty way that right now I feel the urge to go into the bathroom and wash my mouth out with soap.

<cough> we've all done it...........

lousy lab due in 3.5 hours..

It's going to be almost 40 degrees Celcius tomorrow...and I have to work, at a hot food place no less.

[alt146]

My car broke down and it doesnt look like they can fix it - It was my first car and I've had it for five years, been everywhere with it. And since I'm only two weeks into my first job I dont really have money for a new one

[Thelomen Toblerone]

So. Much. WORK. And tired. Fucking Aristotle and his long books. And seriosuly, who sets two books and 4 articles to read as well as 8 short answers, for the next day?! On the first lesson?!!?

Lame.

[Slum]

Lame.

You have the same class on back-to-back days? That's no way to schedule. I always went for MW/MWF or TR classes...never that MTWRF bullshit. Maybe that's just how you guys do it over there.

It is nice to have some days off during the week...

[HoosierDaddy]

I like to watch the train-wrecks. I'll admit it. But, after that and they get to the actual competition? Stupid.

My neck is still tight as hell. Hurts to swivelly-swivel.

Yippee! Highs of 5 degrees Fahrenheit the rest of the week....stupid New York and its stupid winter...

I'm afraid to go outside, but I'll have to in a couple hours. Local website says it's 2*F out right now.

News Flash: Brood is leaving. Not a happy moment

[inpsyze]

I'm supposed to be having a drink with an old mate, first time in a while, and the motherf**ker has fallen asleep.

[Aptorian]

I'm a bit meh about Brood leaving. I like the guy and we've had lots of fun on this forum and over MSN, but he was such a drag when every other post he made was a put down. Moaning Tossbag.

It's messing with my groove that he announces that he's leaving the forum because he's dissatisfied with the forum but doesn't elaborate and then leaves.

[frookenhauer]

I was a bit more diplomatic, but yeah.

He has elaborated to everyone who asked when he first broached the subject before Christmas. We all tried to persuade him otherwise then so he hung about for longer. If you missed it, it's because he wasn't nearly as dramatic about his dissatisfaction as he could have been. He had been here a long time and seen the many fluctuations in quality and activity and the recent forum environment just doesn't float his boat. So rather than stick around being pissy about it, he has taken a break. Which is fair enough, especially for someone who has put a lot of energy into the board and bringing members together. He was the driving force behind lots of forum initiatives so I think he had a right to complain if he didn't like the place. And the drama is fun for the rest of us. I wish he'd been even more melodramatic about it!!

Additionally, he's in his final year at uni, so less internet addiction opportunities have to be a good thing!

[RodeoRanch]

I'm bummed he left too but it happens. I left for about half a year once because I wasn't happy with the place. I hated Marduk so much.

I finally wandered back one day, found his presence lessened and started posting again.

[Aptorian]

But what is this "new forum environment" he means? The only thing I've noticed changing over the last 2-2½ years I've been a member is the crowd. One group of inngoers, booknerds and spammers comming and going. The faces change, new personalities emerge and new inside jokes and understandings develop. Yet I've never noticed the forum having a "golden age", in fact if anything we're doing better than ever with 10-20 more members and guests online each day.

Perhaps it's the fact that 3-4 years ago the forum was a much smaller selected group of fans, where we've now branched out in all kinds of ways with the offtopic forums.

I don't know. I don't think it matters really. The vibe just doesn't do it for him right now. Horses for courses, and all that.

[frookenhauer]

Can I have a run down of what was wrong with the place? I know I'm a relative noob, but...
