My....well, you might say girlfriend....won't text back. Purportedly, her phone is dead and she is rarely near it anyway.

And thats another thing: we're dating, so whats the proper appellation for that? Not in my vocabulary

[Gothos]

I am, once again, hungry.

[Tiste Simeon]

I told people i would go jogging today, so now I have to. Yet... It's raining and I have man flu, and I have a couple of good movies I want to watch and some nice food in the fridge waiting to be consumed etc. And I really don't want to go jogging. But they are all lame excuses, and I want to look good for my wedding and also be fit for the Cardiff 10K run that I somehow signed up for...

Oh well, here I go then!

[QuickTidal]

I got hit by a Mutha effing CAR tonight!

Yeah, I was walking across at the lights near my houset on a red (I had a walk signal) and the cars in the other lanes had stopped but the guy coming down the far side (to turn the corner I guess) didn't stop at the crosswalk and came right through. I was paying enough attention to see he wasn't going to stop and had the forethought to put my hand down and push off the hood but he still was coming fast enough that he hit my side and sent me about 5 or 6 feet into the intersection...then he has the brass tacks to look at me and shake his head like it was MY fault...then drives away. I'm not joking! People were yelling at him and I was just too stunned to get his plate number or anything. Am okay, a bit stiff and sore on one side but I didn't hit my head or anything as I stayed on my feet after flying a few feet. Scary and I'm SUPER pissed that people like that have the stones to DRIVE AWAY after HITTING somebody! Like what the hell man!

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Shit, sounds like quite the ordeal. So long as you're alright.

I am late. For a very important non-date.

[Loki]

@QT - I'm just glad you're alright. Once I figure out how to make my own TARDIS you and I will head back to the scene and blow the guys car up......or just, you know, stop him from hitting you. Either one works for me.



My mood is messed by the fact that I was woken up at 3:30am by Kalam throwing up on me - well, on my blanket, but the blanket was on me! And then the smell - blark!

[amphibian]

My laptop is now restarting instead of sleeping, hibernating or shutting off. I ain't fuxed with any power settings or dropped it hard anywhere. No idea what's going on.

I've tried a Windows restore to clear over a month ago and no dice. This is the last time I'm going to try. Tomorrow, I walk over to the store and hand it over to the "professionals" at the store where I bought it.

That basically means no personal computing for two weeks and I get the joy of a wiped hard drive and re-tuning the computer to how I like it after I get it back. Oh, joy.

[Adjutant Stormy~]

Just pull the battery out.

[Wolfy]

Somebody decided to jump infront of a train during peak hour in the cbd effectively shutting down the train system and making me 3hrs late to work

This is a good reminder that I should be more clear in what problem I am describing: the computer can be manually turned off via power button or by unplugging and taking the battery out, but does not actually shut down, hibernate or sleep when I enter in the software/GUI commands to do so.

Taking the battery out turns it off, for sure, but it doesn't yield the desired solution: a computer that shuts down, hibernates or goes to sleep when I tell it to do so.

[Gatekeeper]

I got to the Oregon country fair with my crew tomorrow. I'm trying to prep myself to not get to deep into SE if I meet a fine you lady with well turned ankles. I will be me, abs listen. Wish ne luck!

[Dammon]

The cold weather over here in perth at the moment. Stupid ice on my windows when I leave for work in the morning

[King Lear]

Holy shit QT, that guy needs to hunted down and beaten with something sharp and point for a bit.

Messing with my groove -I may have tonsillitis. Goddamn.

[Centzon Totochtin]

Why is there traffic at 6:30am?!?!?! WHAT ARE PEOPLE DOING UP DRIVING AT THIS TIME?!

Also I feel like crap. And the Dithering Idiot (a.k.a the leader of my team at work, but not my direct supervisor) sis getting worse and worse every day. GAH!

[Use Of Weapons]

My body hates me after jujitsu session last night.

[Loki]

Arthur (my bookcase) is messing with my groove because he just isn't big enough!

Everytime I get a new book I have to compare it to the ones already on the shelves and decide if I like my new book more then any of the shelved ones and if so swap the old one out for the new one which usually means reorganising my entire bookcase.

Soon the only authors on my bookcase are going to be Erikson, Flanagan, Landy, Cornwell, Cussler, Reilly and the authors in my zombie genre section.

I need more bookcases!!!

[Tiste Simeon]

@Loki - yeah I hear you, the piles of books on top of the thing are getting ridiculous! (was going to say my piles are too big but that's a story for another day! Course, this is the groove messing thread... )

[Gothos]

Touched down in Zurich.

In any case, once we started descending, I got a headsplitting headache - on each side, from the top of the temple to the jawline. Seriously, the pain was extreme. Two hours after touchdown I still got my ears 'plugged'.

Hell. Seems I'm not made for air travel! Pity, cos the takeoff was fun as hell!

[Tiste Simeon]

G, I used to get that, but then I started chewing just before they started descending. Seriously, it has never happened again since. Always have some gum on me when I go flying, works a treat!

[Silencer]

Gum, or a lolly to suck on, whatever works. Always done it, never had any problem. That, and I can do the whole decompression/recompression thing on demand somehow, so even if I don't have something like gum, I'm fine, though it's a bit more of a hassle.
