Awuh.

PS folks lookin' for water bottles, camelbaks are the fucking SHIT. 11 dollars, but are amazing. I have the 500ml and it's the absolutetetist awesomest wattah bahddil ever --- primarily because it does not spill whatsoever and can lay horizontally in my purse.

Working three jobs and still keeping up with this P90X thing - six days a week workout. The workout itself is difficult and I'm pretty sore (though as much as my friends, since they're all newbies at regular workouts)... but the hardest part is keeping everyone motivated enough to meet up six days a week for an hour.

I'll probably have to 'purchase' the program myself if I want to finish it. Not as much fun, but it's a rewarding workout.

So... yeah. That's why I haven't been on IRC lately.

I got a cat. It is basically the best cat.

I'm not supposed to have pets but I don't really care because I've found mouse droppings. If my bosses find out I'll just say I was borrowing a friend's cat until the mouse problem went away, then probably give the cat back. I figure nobody's really going to care though.

I thoroughly approve of this course of action.

Well I was being somewhat serious. Losing more than about a pound a day is usually not a good thing, although in the first week of a particularly strenuous program it can happen I guess.

Shale · « **Reply #58 on:** January 25, 2012, 01:47:53 AM »

When I first started serious exercise last year I was dropping on the order of two pounds a day for the first week, with no major ill effects. Water weight goes quick. If it keeps up at that pace, then yeah, I'd start to worry.

Due to having some pretty bad allergy problems in my current apartment, I am looking for another place to live. So much hate.

Lady Door · « **Reply #60 on:** January 25, 2012, 07:41:27 PM »

~~1. Find a new place to live~~ - Moving the rest of our stuff in this weekend. I've moved a lot during my life (27 places and counting), but moving still sucks.
~~2. Guitar lessons~~ - Having a great time. Love my teacher. This one hour a week is my break from life.
~~3. Grain&gluten-free, sugar-free, legume-free, soy-free, dairy-free eating. (Culinary bubble here I come~)~~ I tried. Having no kitchen makes this ten times harder, and it's already ten times harder than a normal diet. So 100x is my limit. I'll try again come February, because it WAS working.
4. Plane tickets to England - Agh. In order to make travel and time off make the most sense, I *have* to do this right before DLC. That is, of course, the very week that "summer prices" kick in.

5. Plane tickets to ~~friend's bridal shower &~~ bachelorette party/wedding - Gonna drive to the shower. Still need to figure out the latter two.
5b. Plan said ~~bridal shower and~~ bachelorette party - Invites in the mail, decisions made, still need to figure out the food and stuff but I have the bride's mom's help. Bachelorette party is being co-handled by other bridesmaids, so that's helpful.
6. Search for and apply for new job - Ugh. WHEN?!

--

I have been godawful busy this month. On top of this, my company is overhauling all our systems (databases and website - moving to Salesforce and Drupal, yay), renegotiating contracts, and adjusting to being a much smaller company. I am deeply involved in all of this. It's frankly ridiculous how many meetings I can go to in a single work week. Plus the overtime, because I should probably get some actual work done at some point. Plus long-distance party planning. Plus finding a place to move into, signing a lease, and actually moving. Plus learning a new skill. Plus changing my diet.

So I sort of set myself up to fail, there. But the important ones are getting done!

Cannot wait until February, and it's only a week away now. Yay~

Ciato, holy heck that sucks. Something similar happened to a close friend in a house she closed on - she's allergic to mold, but thankfully her BF's father is a handy man.

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #62 on:** January 26, 2012, 09:38:10 PM »

Good luck Ciato *hugs* ;/

Observed on my cousin's facebook:

"Love, is a lot like Pokemon. You're going to get a starter, and it's going to mean a lot to you. But throughout the game you'll run into plenty of other Pokemon. Some you'll use a Pokeball to catch, and others a Great ball or even an Ultra Ball. You're going to run into a couple of rare Pokemon and even a few legendary Pokemon. You might catch them and you might not, but no matter what you do; save your Master Ball. Save your Master Ball for that one Pokemon, that one Pokemon that is truly legendary."

A reply:

"Is the safari zone like a red light district? You pay money to catch one, and get a certain amount of time. You don't have to worry too much about not catching one. Even though it's probably not the right one, you at least caught one. Sometimes you learn how to surf!"

why weren't these kids this funny when I had to live with them.

Woo! Almost fully moved into the new place! By which I mainly mean nearly all the stuff is over. Still need to work on setting up and unpacking.

Super special awesome thanks to Gate who came up and helped shuffle around ridiculous large and unusually heavy pieces of furniture in exchange for food. Who also then kicked everyone's collective assess in his first ever game of Dominion by King's Courting a King's Court and a King's Court and Expand and City to upgrade an Estate into a Colony and then proceed to buy out the Courtyards - all 7 of them - to end the game. In a single turn.

This.

Final fish casualty count in this move is forthcoming over the next few days. I have a better idea how to do this in the future, but this was a rough move on the fishies.

VySaika · « **Reply #66 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:42:56 PM »

That was the best hand ever~ Pure luck, but it did make up for my abysmally poor performance at 7 Wonders.

Sadness for fishy casualties though.

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #67 on:** January 31, 2012, 03:11:25 PM »

Actually, it looks like, shockingly, all the fish may have pulled through. I was kind of worried about the 20gal fish since they got dumped with minimal acclimation, but I've see the majority of them near the glass at some point.

(If anyone is curious as to why I'm unsure, its because the water is a very murky brown right now, making it nearly impossible to see through. Its clearing up and a few water changes should have it looking good, but I haven't had a chance yet).

So yeah, despite my worries, looks like the move (rough and slipshod though moving the aquarium may have been) went all right.

...now to replant the tanks.

Don't you have an Android?

Damnit, stop deluding yourself - Andrew, despite your fantasies, is not a sexbot!

Andy's value as a cabana boy would be considerably deflated were he made of metal joints. However, beating him up to earn 15 silver points could be an option, depending on Ashley's veto powers.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #72 on:** February 01, 2012, 03:59:31 PM »

The penis or ass doesn't have to be made out of metal (or joints, for that matter).

Lady Door · « **Reply #73 on:** February 01, 2012, 05:07:27 PM »

... deliberately ignoring EVERYTHING ELSE, yes, I do have an Android.

But an Android is not capable of handling all the awesome things I use the internet for. It's like methodone for internet addiction.

Like being able to watch Hulu or Netflix on my TV. Or editing photos and posting them to the internets (though I can, of course, just TAKE photos and post them to the internets!) to continue with online versions of board games. Or do anything else that Android can do, but tiny screen makes it difficult.

How could you ignore the most important part of the conversation?
