I am entertained by lots of things, if you can't tell by my D&D posts.

Oooh, shiiiny!!

Also, Idun, I know how that feels. I usually had to push my grandma around in her wheelchair as she looked at everything in Wal-Mart though.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2528 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:40:51 PM »

Oh, so -that's- what Idun means by leisurely relatives? I'm dense.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2529 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:44:44 PM »

I am tempted after this exam to go buy a backrub. My shoulders are killin'.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2530 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:48:04 PM »

You can't club Elfboy into giving you one for free?

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2531 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:51:43 PM »

I don't like asking for stuff, haha. <_<

Shale · « **Reply #2532 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:55:57 PM »

It's not asking, it's threatening. There's a difference.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2533 on:** October 20, 2009, 11:58:09 PM »

At this point, he's bound to know anyway! If he's nice, it saves you the work of clubbing, which is a plus. >_>

(pssst sorry about the big mouth)

To Shale: why would she have to threaten? It's not like she's asking Excal for a backrub. Now excuse me as I wash my brain with bleach.

Shale · « **Reply #2534 on:** October 21, 2009, 12:02:53 AM »

You're the one who brought up physical violence.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2535 on:** October 21, 2009, 12:03:42 AM »

Apparently clubbing is my natural mode of communication.

Mostly, yeah. Except when 2x4s on fire are involved, then it just means violence.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2537 on:** October 21, 2009, 01:36:27 AM »

;_; Studying is sad days. DONE TOMORROW THOUGH!!

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2538 on:** October 21, 2009, 01:39:33 AM »

Hey, you're the one who decided to jump into the life of a grad student. You're likely to study for the rest of your life given your ambitions.

(so jealous)

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #2539 on:** October 21, 2009, 01:46:37 AM »

Huh, apparently, there's still only 3 (tentatively 4 if this Demon's Souls thing has anything interesting to it) PS3 games I want. Oddly enough, though, when I went to the store, I noticed that used 80G PS3s are actually -cheaper- than the SaGa2 ltd ed DSi (~$200 compared to ~$250).

Wow, how did -that- happen?

Also, is an 80G PS3 worth 200?

Unrelated: Gah, someone send me a copy of that Wizard of Oz DS RPG in English. I keep seeing it for like $10 in Japanese and it's TAUNTING ME.

The Wizard of Oz was my favorite book growing up. I think I've read it more times than any other book in existence. I wrote a thesis on it in high school and I made a huuuuge allusion to it in my college essays that several recruiters mentioned was pretty interesting. The fact that this has been made into an RPG and that I can't play it is becoming rapidly unacceptable. ...especially since it's already been translated. *frothing at the mouth begins, all coherency is lost*

You know, since graduating, I've actually been enjoying all the classes I've taken. When you remove the -ambitions- part, studying is really quite a fulfilling pasttime. I guess this is common sense, as I figured on this even in high school, but it's only recently hit me how much I am enjoying studying without the pressure of 'I'll never get a decent job if I don't get this degree and pass this test zOMG!!!!!!~'.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2541 on:** October 21, 2009, 01:53:22 AM »

I've always liked studying myself, although I'm certainly not exactly standard for learning (basically never studied at home, barely took any notes ever, just made sure to attend class and discuss things with teachers and read the bibliography while finding interesting reads on my own). Always found that the pressure to get a decent job and all that jazz were bysides.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #2542 on:** October 21, 2009, 02:35:45 AM »

Wait, that sort of pressure exists? Huh.

Personally I've always found that doing things like reading and to a lesser extent research is fun, but the entire concept of homework offends me and had been my bane through all post-primary education endeavors. I mean, I think if I could skip undergrad and go straight to auditing I'd totally be up for it. Sadly no one pays you for that though.

Idun · « **Reply #2543 on:** October 21, 2009, 02:55:35 AM »

Yeah, leisurely shoppers. IE, when they came out 20 more minutes after I posted that comment walking slowly through the parking lot, I only saw two bags (or three?) It's so annoying. Every day when I want to go straight home for school, I always get caught up in lulling detours to the gas station for cigarettes or grocery store for minute groceries. Pah.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2544 on:** October 21, 2009, 03:02:55 AM »

So I am studying for my test. We are talking about a molecule that:

a) requires 250-300 degrees of heat to synthesize
b) explodes at 30 degrees, meaning it immediately has to be cooled as soon as it is created or it will explode
c) In order to use it to make cool stuff, it requires a 25 degree temperature.

What a pain in the ass.

Magetastic · « **Reply #2545 on:** October 21, 2009, 03:09:52 AM »

How do you even create that without it immediately blowing up?

Know who synthesize it easily? Flay. Clearly he should be teaching your class.

Yes. Far less than the original cost, got a decent library of games, which is only sure to expand at this point.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2548 on:** October 21, 2009, 03:21:28 AM »

Ugh. It's been raining since about 2 this afternoon. Fortunately, I have an umbrella. Unfortunately, I have to get my bike back to the house, so I can't use it coming back. It's only a ~10 minute ride but jesus will it be miserable and cold. ;_;

EDIT: AND IT WAS. I'm going to go sulk and listen to the Cure.

Well, that -does- make sense, but I'm curious if I shouldn't hold out for one with a larger hard drive to show up at the second-hand store.
