    Not entirely a 'real world' rave, but my friend who is DMing the DnD variant game I'm playing in let me remort with a modded class. Though I had to take some nerfs from the Rules As Written (one of which more than halved my build's hp), the character should now be a LOT more fun to play. Wheeee

    My husband has taken one for the team and is babysitting on his own while I get a weekend by myself at the beach. I am caffeinated, filled with bacon, have books, internet, control of the remote, a view of the water and chocolate. Bliss.



  • MunsiaMunsia The Supreme Goddess
    Hmmmmmmm bacon......have I told you about the wonders of bacon lately? I consider myself an expert of these things.
  • TurnusTurnus The Big Bad Wolf
    I noticed a disappointing lack of mention of any sort of alcoholic beverage.

    You're a late starter.
    Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.

    Ran my half marathon this morning. Woo! Finished it at a decent pace for me too, 10:13/mile.

    Awesome job dude... How many people did you see with t-shirts that read 'Never trust a fart!' and how far of a run was it?
  • TurnusTurnus The Big Bad Wolf
    I saw a few fart/poo signs. My favorite was one that said "I pooped my pants too" which was being held up by Pikachu.

    And half marathon is 13.1 miles.

    I don't get it...

    I think the point is runners are gross.
    I used to make cakes.

    Estarra the Eternal says, "Give Shevat the floor please."
  • TurnusTurnus The Big Bad Wolf
    Basically that!

    The top runners if they need to go, they just go in their shorts. Also running can make you need to. So it's lose lose. I've never had an in-run issue, but I guess some people do.

    I've never heard that before. Now I want to run even less than I did before :P

    Looks like my business might be doing a promotion on a local voucher site some time in the not-too-distant future ^_^  (granted my profits will take a bit of a hit, but it will be good for getting my company name out there, plus I will still get a decent bit of profit, even if it is only half to 2/3rds of what I would get for selling the items at full price)

    Discussing films with friends, who all, like myself, seem to remember only one Judge Dredd film (with Karl Urban), and have no idea what other people are talking about when they say there's two.

    The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."

    You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

    I did like the Urban film. Haven't yet seen the Stalone one......our local video rental store just went out of business and Netflix doesn't have it on for streaming.

    Meh, Judge Dredd with Sylvester Stallone is a guilty pleasure, it is not terribad, but it is not terrific either.  I like Armand Assante's overacting, as well as Max Von Sydows acting in it :)

    My new laptop should(barring this stupid snowstorm delaying it) arrive this Friday, though I may be at work when it gets here, but will only have to wait maybe an hour.

    I have cable and internet again! Granted, it's not HD cable (they don't even have that this far north), but I get NBCSports, so I can watch a few hockey games.

    Of course, whoever put this house together didn't think things through... there was a cable hookup in the living room, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom. So not in either room that could be an office, meaning my desktop has to rely on a wireless instead of wired signal. And while my wireless signal reaches this room with no problems, my Linux distro and my wireless card don't get along. I'll probably end up buying a new wireless card.
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    One good thing that has come from this storm: having to only work half my shift, but getting paid for the full thing.

  • CyndarinCyndarin used Flamethrower! It was super effective.

    Because part of my income is commission, which is taxed much more heavily than my hourly wage (including my 5k relocation package), my tax return this year is much bigger than expected. Plus the money I have already saving to move in July + get a new computer....which means....

     

    I will actually have a new computer soonish! Now I just have to decide on which Lenovo I want.

    I will probably be screwed next year when I do my taxes....I'm waiting to hear back on a job that should start at 40-43k a year.  Which is nice, because it will be in Vegas with a low cost of living.  The bad part is that I will not have any deductions or credits to qualify for, and I'm single with no kids......it's gonna burn.  


    For my rave, my first horizontal driver's license(age 21+) came today.....and I'm 24.....

  • Just heard a remix of Clocks by Coldplay on the radio.....apparently a haitian remix that came out a few years ago.   Very much a rave.

    I won't have to deal with it this season, but next tax season, I get to deal with the abomination that is clergy taxes. I will be hiring someone.

  • Here you can get tax deductions for certain kinds of savings accounts. I have a retirement account, you do get taxed up front because it is an income generator, but it gets offset when you file your taxes to motivate people to get one. And honestly, these days you want to be doing that, because what retirement you build up through working is shit even in a very well-paying job. 

    US people, I recommend looking into Ramit Sethi's book "I will teach you to be rich", he's got good advice on the finer details. I simply applied what of it is relevant to the EU way of things. You can start off with very little money, he also offers great advice for getting out of debt, so it is a book for everyone really.
