I'm pretty sure my dog is constipated. 

[Patrick]

Patrick, condolences, that really sucks. One thing you might see is if he left any notes or scratch recordings of those songs and see if you can record something of them anyway. Even if they don't match his vision, I'm sure his family would appreciate having something like that.

Unfortunately I have no way of finding that out. He lived alone. He passed everything to his children, and they live out of town/state. He never got to a point where he didn't have to work 7 days a week, so I never got to record him.

I am dealing with it mostly due to the fact that I was not the only one who never expected he'd pass away at his age in the shape he was in. His past lifestyle just plain caught up to him, I guess. Mostly I'm just really gonna miss that dude.

got home a couple of days ago after spending all day on campus juggling papers and books and laptop and dinner in both hands and while trying to unlock my front gate, i grabbed on to my keys with my teeth for a couple of seconds and definitely chipped my front tooth on one of them. the chipping itself doesn't bother me because my front teeth are about 50% fake already, but i am bummed because i am pretty sure this isn't covered by my dental plan and i can't afford to pay to fix my tooth out of my own pocket so now i'm stuck looking like dumb and dumber indefinitely. boooo

[Lines]

I am moving out in 24 hours. Holy shit.

[StaedlerMars]

i am at this moment djing at the fresher's ball for our uni. I also managed to forget the 'dress up' memo, so I'm hearing wearing jeans, v neck, plaid, kicks, and scraggly as fuck.

i'm going to go buy drinks to smuggle drink and get wasted for cheap!

and then tomorrow I have a date at a mexican restaurant (I like this girl already) and then I am playing touch rugby and then I am watching movies to celebrate the fact that Billy Murray has graced this world for 60 years on Tuesday.

[Zingoleb]

guys guys guys

whiskey cake

holy shit

[Zingoleb]

they put whiskey in a cake

[Patrick]

Apparently AC/DC are here in Livermore because of the Guitar World event downtown this weekend. Whaaaaat, since when do big names come to this town? Not only that, but Del The Funky Homosapien did a show at the skate shop on 1st Street. What the fuuuuuck

This town is getting weirder and weirder

[Thomas Edison]

I'm finally moving away from shitty Durrington wheeeeeee

[Vendetagainst]

Man, why is it so hard to get an Exalted game together? I have two groups who are all "yeah! I've always wanted to try Exalted" and I've been trying to ST for them but they just don't have any follow-through and it is so depressing because Exalted is such a fantastic game and why can't they leave their oWoD box and explore the bright world outside and auggggghhhhhhhh.

Also, I hope I do not go to sleep at 8 am again today. I am really trying to fix my schedule.

[Graphite]

I've discovered the true meaning of adulthood. When you are an adult, if you wake up at 3am with stomach pains and need to throw up, you're considered old enough and responsible enough to clean up the resulting mess on your own, rather than waking up other members of the household for help.

Your mother may also ask you whether you're pregnant.

Oh, and you may also realise halfway to the bathroom that you forgot to do a time-sensitive chore, and then need to do that as soon as you're done cleaning.

Adulthood can go take a long walk off a short pier.

[jhocking]

i have been neglecting the forum lately and i'm sorry

"Neglect" is a relative term in this case. I can only speak for myself, but I haven't noticed any change at all.

[Alex C]

Adulthood can go take a long walk off a short pier.

I always feel weird because adulthood so far has easily been the best thing to have ever happened to me.

[Patrick]

Oh man I'm finding out all kinds of things hella late these days. This woman let her son and his friends shoot pellet guns at several people I know here in town, and is now on trial for boning said friends of son. 67 felony charges.

Oh Hummer Mom, nationwide symbol of Livermore.

[Barmymoo]

Man, you guys talk a lot when I'm not looking.

Edinburgh status: not great apart from fun with forumites, but on balance worth having the experience. Minack status: awesome! But very tiring, and one of the female leads took an inexplicable dislike to me and was utterly vile on several occasions. I'm too tired to tell you all the awesome things that happened but it was definitely a holiday whereas Edinburgh was just tiring, unhappy work most of the time.

Now I am going to go to bed. I slept 11 hours last night, 2 this afternoon and am still tired.

[Alex C]

I started playing Dungeon Crawl again the other day after a layoff and despite the rust I managed to get my naga wizard past the slow and vulnerable phase and into the "I'm a stealthy flame throwing, poison spitting bad ass snake man that can escape anything by teleporting and turning into a wicked fast spider monster" phase after two short evenings of play. I know this means virtually nothing to most of you, but I still feel good enough about this that I'm going to give myself a Tarantino fist pump.

[snalin]

The only two builds I've been able to do in Crawl are Sludge elf transmuters and Spiriggan enchanters. I've just plain walked through the lair with the second one, one-shotting everything without ever being seen. Great fun.

[jmrz]

I think that this is the first thing that mother's assume when their sexually active daughters get a stomach bug and have been throwing up all morning. My mother did the same thing when I was sick the other week and I just looked at her and went "How is that even a question? Anti-nausea tablets please so I can go back to bed!". My sister then took it upon herself to inform me that if I was pregnant, she'd like a niece, please.

[Alex C]

Yeah, my naga can reliably 1 shot anything in the Lair but Hydras or Death Yaks with Sticky Flame, and he's only level 13 so far. I'll admit to being a tiny bit lucky there; he's focused on fire magic and is already rocking 2 rings of fire and a Staff of Conjuring. Getting him past the first 7 dungeon levels was a real bitch though compared to a Spriggan-- Speed 3 vs. Slowness 2 and a spit attack isn't really a contest. Still, now that I've got ways around the speed issue he's probably the best level 13 character I've had other than my old priest Orc Jesus.

[Zingoleb]

Today, my grandmother pulled out the Atari and kicked my ass at Pong.

I bought an iPod! with 160 GB!

Holy fuck what am I gonna do with all that extra space.

[jhocking]

You can hold a lot of porn in that much space. I'm just saying.

[tania]

I bought an iPod! with 160 GB!

Holy fuck what am I gonna do with all that extra space.

i converted some of my television shows to .mp4 format so i could watch them on the bus on the way to/from work. also very useful for watching films on long trips when you don't want to lug your laptop around. once you start putting videos onto that thing, trust me, that space will go really, really fast.

[JD]

Why would you want porn on that small a screen?

[tania]

keeps strangers from trying to sit next to or talk to you

[tania]

also i am a pretty firm advocate that when it comes to porn, less genital detail really is more

like come on i really do not need to see every single wrinkle and vein and grimy pube on that thing, just give me the basic jist of who's boning who and i'll be happy to take it from there

[JD]

Is watching porn a thing you do on the bus?

[tania]

you tell me, new ipod owner

[Lines]

I moved into an apartment today! I have too much stuff! It is everywhere! Hopefully I can get it all put away tomorrow, but I doubt it.

[Jimmy the Squid]

Is watching porn a thing you do on the bus?

Thus far most of the videos on my iPod are Rammstein clips so uh...yes?

[Inlander]

Six months from now I'm going to wonder why, yet again, I haven't managed to save any money.

Then I'm going to realise it's because I keep inviting friends and family to my new house, and cooking them dinner, and making lunch for them, and buying lots of alcohol for them.

And I'm going to say to myself: "Well, okay, that's a pretty good trade-off."

[Vendetagainst]

Dungeon Crawl!

Hey, I just started playing that again a couple of days ago! My Draconian Paladin is pretty great, he basically steamrolled the first five levels without any trouble. He's facing some trouble at level ten right now, but he's a fun character. I almost always play Demonspawn (I <3 demon mutations) though.
Also, the game's been oddly generous. I have nine wands and four spell books.
Wait, make that 12 wands. I don't even want them but they're so pretty! D:

[Jimor]

keeps strangers from trying to sit next to or talk to you

Except for the wrong kind of stranger.

Speaking of which, the other day on the light rail train, I get on an almost empty car, something like 5 or 6 other people total. The seats are arranged facing each other into 4-person "booths", and there are 16 booths per train. I grab an empty booth and sit next to the window facing the direction of the train.

The very next stop, ONE guy gets on, and proceeds to not only sit in my booth, but to also squeeze up against the window so that neither of us really has any room for our knees anymore. Man, there are fucking unwritten rules about how you fill up a bus/train/general seating area, and this guy broke about 5 of them. I always try to not be one of those people who through body language and other things take up more than one seat, I don't mind if somebody needs to sit next to me, but this creeped me the fuck out. So the next stop, I acted like it was mine but simply moved to another wide open seat.

[Patrick]

First day off in a while. Work has been calling me in constantly. wuuuuuuuut holy crap I did nothing all day and I'm exhausted and I have HELLA shit to do tomorrow and ughhhhhh

[allison]

I am worried that my body is not going to adjust to being awake at 6:30. I am worried I will miss a few of my 9 am classes. But fuck I am out of bed and at this point it feels like I deserve a medal or a trophy or something.

It's interesting how Engel started playing on random once I started reading this post.

Today is the start of a new position at work. I go in sick! Ergh. However, I realized that I have been losing hella money at work because I keep buying bottled drinks and gum and that's been costing me like an extra 10 dollars every day at work, and that right ain't shit, so I bought a water bottle and I'm just going to bring in my drinks 'cause that's way cheaper. Also, I did some quick budgeting and I think I can save about $350-$400/month, and that should get me between $3-4,000 by next summer to move with. Fucking yes!

Edit: I am seriously not trying for pagebreaks and I am sorry they are not more interesting so have a chinchilla

[JD]

I woke up at 3 o clock because I had a terrible dream. I went back to bed and it happened again, this time waking up at 5. My brain is lazy and/or I am predictable

[Wasteroo]

Last night I fell asleep while listening to Merzbow. I can officially fall asleep to anything.

[JD]

Whatever man I can fall asleep in a thunderstorm

[Wasteroo]

we don't really get those around here so unfortunately I can't try and upstage you

[Patrick]

I have a history of sleeping through earthquakes. Bow to me, children.

Also, my psychiatrist switched my meds. Old and busted: Prozac. New hotness: Paxil. Apparently Paxil is supposed to not amplify your pre-existing anxiety. Cool!

[Eris]

It was a workmate's birthday yesterday, so after work we met back up and went out drinking. I went to a club right near a backpackers hostel-thing. It was full of angry bogans, tourists, and our one group of crazy Egyptian boys.

They played:
- Summer of '69
- Barbie Girl
- Spice Girls
- The Grease Megamix
- Essentially all the terrible music from the 90's that I loved as a teenager.

I was made to do a shot of sambucca by one of the Egyptians who I met about an hour earlier (I hate aniseed, so I think I got through half the shot before I put it down). I got told by a guy from Alberta that I look like I should be in a library. He then justified it by saying it he thought it was because of my bag. I went to buy a drink and got stuck behind two people who got their drinks then decided to make out at the bar. At one point they just wagged their tongues at each other. One of the Egyptians is in love with the other girl who came along, and once he got drunk enough he kept trying to kiss her. At 2am the boys decided it was time to go, and we went home. I told ben all this when I got home and he doesn't remember any of it.

It actually ended up being a good night! I forgot how creepy dudes can be when you're out, though. The girls behind the bar were really nice, too, and they would have to deal with so much shit so we gave them big tips when we bought drinks. It reminded me that I miss going out and getting drunk and dancing.

[look out! Ninjas!]

I spent all yesterday volunteering at JusticeNet, which is a tiny little operation in Adelaide that helps people get pro bono legal representation if they can't afford it but don't fall within the (understandably) strict requirements for other legal services. It is a really good thing. I answered a couple of calls and tried to help some people out and reviewed files and generally felt really good about what I was doing. It was actually kind of fun too, not the listening to people's problems so much but the working environment was pretty good for being run out of a shoebox and there's that warm 'I'm trying to make a difference feeling'.
Hopefully that'll run me through the rest of Spring and Summer, until I go back to uni again for one last year.

[Patrick]

Okay yeah Prozac definitely is not cool, had my first-ever panic attack today. Good timing on being switched.

[Dimmukane]

Going to the Dogfish Head brewpub this weekend...any recommendations?

[Allybee]

I CAN STILL RIDE A BIKE. was petrified that I never learned but I got on my roommate's fixie and she held it for me at first and then I was on my own and I actually can doooo it. it's so fun. and fast.

now to waste all my time trolling craigslist for a nice ride...

[Christophe]

Recently i've noticed myself being a dickton more paranoid than usual. Shit like doubling back to my car to make sure that it's locked. Driving back to my house to make sure the front door is locked. I've just started my job as of a week ago and stress is kicking my ass incredibly frequently.

Fucking real life, how does it work?

[StaedlerMars]

10 minutes into my first course of my masters and it looks like it's just about Steampunk stuff.

Exciting.

Edit: i'm not even kidding. It's all just 3D models of steampunk shit that we have to make.

[tania]

man you are lucky, the first course of my masters was basically just three hours of statistics so far over my head the professor could have seriously just been making up words the whole time. i was half expecting him to interrupt at any given moment and say "ahhh sorry guys i was just fucking with you". of course he didn't so now it looks like over the course of the next two years i gotta get ready to love statistics as much as i can muster. fuck yes i love anova oh god my life
