  • (Quote) Agreed.  Had an opportunity to have a quick conversation with @Manteekan, was quite enjoyable ^_^
  • (Quote)
    Wasp nests always make me uneasy due to the fact that my brother is HIGHLY allergic to wasp stings (He was almost killed by one back when he was younger - he always carries an epi-pen with him these days.)
  • Went up to my parents farm to spend some time with the family today.  Saw a massive wasp nest while I was out and about.

  • (Quote) Eh, wouldn't work in my case.  Said flatmates are all Filipino and Indian and already eat primarily ethnic foods.  More than once I've come back home from work and they have stunk out the main living area, so I've had to leave t…
  • Been on a bit of a retro kick now that my portable arcade rig is up and running, currently been playing Mr Gimmick for the NES - an insanely difficult, but also very fun game (which sadly was not released outside of Japan and Scandinavia for some re…
  • More games are coming out that these days that are compatible with Linux and Debian (heck, SteamOS is a linux based distro, meaning that games that want to be featured/played on steam boxes will need to be compatible)
  • Being on a students budget is hard enough, but dealing with thieving flatmates REALLY ticks me off, ESPECIALLY when work for last week was cancelled and my budget is stretched even further.  I'm typically generous enough that if someone is in need a…
  • Decided to reincarnate Sakaki and give him a new look.

    He is a nimble undead faeling and holds a diminuitive, but unsettling presence. His icy blue eyes observe his surroundings with a cold, calculating gaze, set beneath thin, …
  • Got some more updates - almost 100% completed ^_^  Please excuse the poor quality of the photos - the lighting was not the best and my camera is not very good.

  • As part of my film club paper at university, we watched a 2005 movie called "Four Eyed Monsters" (able to be watched on Youtube at Youtube link here if anyone is interested - i…
  • (Quote) As was mentioned, as long as it is paid, an amnesty will be issued, so you can enjoy the event without the guards and denizens jumping you and raising the alarm on our aethers.  People that blatantly attack those under amnesty w…
  • (Quote) Mmhmm, Guildmaster/mistress is the guild voice on the council and responsible for external stuff, such as overseeing guild nexus powers (putting out guards, etc).  Main things that GM is responsible for, pertaining to the guild,…
  • (Quote) True to their word, by Monday morning local time, my Internet has been back up and running.  Should see me around again now with more stability. It's nice when a company, particularly one with a poor track record like some of th…
  • (Quote) Tell me there was at least some decent booze there... x_x
  • I've just filed my application for graduation!  *happy dance*

    Assuming I pass all my papers this semester, I will be graduating in just over 2 months time!
  • GDF'd him after Nikka told Sakaki about it, waiting to see if he sees reason or if he needs to be smacked around the head a few more times.
  • Long story short, there was roadworks outside where I live last night and some ignoramus cut through the fibre optic lines, thus resulting in a distinct lack of internet besides my cellphone, which mobile data rates are nothing short of highway robb…
  • (Quote) Sheesh, lucky sod.  Here it costs a good $20 or so to see a movie.  For a family of 4 you are looking at next to no change out of $100 for an evening out to see a film.
  • Bit of a rave, but mixed feelings as well.

    I'm coming up to the end of my studies, I only have around 6 weeks left on my Bachelor of Arts degree (and the final exams on the papers I am doing this semester) then, assuming I pass,…
  • Jadice would most certainly NOT look favorably on Him, considering she was part of the triumverate that judged the twelve traitors.  Needless to say, it would be interesting to see what happened when/if They crossed paths.
  • (Quote) oh gods don't get me started on the whole vaccination thing - I saw a news article in one of the local papers today in which one of the anti-vac movements stooped to what has to be an ALL TIME LOW.  Seriously.   in General Dissatisfaction Comment by Sakaki April 2015
  • (Quote) Eek!  Take care @Drocilla, don't let yourself get burnt out, whatever happens.  Last thing we want to see is you getting ill due to overworking/fatigue…
  • Bleh, having the flu sucks T_T  Feeling a bit better though...
  • How did you get shamrocks into your rift in the first place?  Whenever I made use of my rifting scripts, I always got an error that shamrocks were not able to be put into the rift.

    EDIT: If those two zero-counts are counting tow…
  • I get what you're saying.  Some telemarketers ARE scumbags and just don't give up (I tend to lump these in with those scammers that say they are phoning from 'windows tech support' claiming that there is a problem with your computer, ignorant t…
  • (Quote) Meh, seems incredibly petty to be willing to consider such a level when a lot of people that are stuck doing these jobs are university students trying to scrape together a few extra dollars to make ends meet because they don't have enough …
  • (Quote) It is actually not illegal in a lot of places for telemarketers/researchers to phone, as irritating as it may be.   Best thing to do is join a Do Not Call register, if they have one in your state/country.  Most HONEST telemarketers are well…
  • (Quote) Lovely.  They basically helped her commit academic suicide.
  • (Quote) You mean they don't already work them to death? >_>
  • At the moment the most concrete method for me to get over to the states long term would be to travel on a fiancee visa and marry within the required 90 days, but we want to keep that as an absolute last resort since we don't want to rush into marria…
