.....So now that Nex has seen one of the many ends of the internet's obsession-over-awesome stick, let's shove him into another one and see what comes out.

 

It starts out slow, but then it becomes full of awesome. A little over two years old, over 5000 pages, and it's still not done yet.

Ok, that did not take as long as expected. And I've got to hand it to it, it's pretty [bleep]ed up, a few hundred pages ago I think I even managed to reach a checkpoint in my my-mind-is-full-of-[bleep]-ness.

And by reaching a checkpoint I mean my head feels like a coconut.

ONE OF US

ONE OF US

ONE OF U *COUGHCOUGHCOUGH* well, excuse me, I have no idea where THAT came from.

 

How far have you gotten?

Found something fun yesterday. Pick any random article on Wikipedia, and click the first blue link of the article not in brackets, then click the first link of that article, and so on. 99% if not all articles will eventually lead back to philosophy.

I got through lots of Wikipedia articles on Wikipedia... A bit of stuff on the arts... A list of characters from One Tree Hill... Various articles dealing with British culture... Many pages relating to colleges...

 

No philosophy yet. Do you include the italicized links generally at the top of the page?

Hah, you're right. I started with silk road project (classical music ensemble), winded through mathematics, and ended up at property (pholosophy).

I'm done with Homestuck so far, read maybe one or two hundred pages of Problem Sleuth before realizing it wasn't getting better and finished the two very short others.

Yeah, Problem Sleuth very quickly devolved into bat-[cabbage]-insane-land. Still managed to make it through, but I didn't understand any of it.

 

Homestuck, on the other hand, I've read thrice, and I'm still getting cases of Fridge Genius from it. Like the acronym for Nepeta's planet.

6 day 9 performance band trips to Canada are awesome.

 

I would enjoy a return to the modless hegemony, especially since it seemed to go on for a bit longer (because if you want to steamroll you have to justify it to people (read: browbeat) all of which who have a vested interest in you not steamrolling).

I agree.

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

CORRECTION. THE BAND TRIP WAS TO BRITISH COLUMBIA (VICTORIA MORE SPECIFICALLY). I AM NOW BACK ON AMERICAN SOIL (HEHE 'MURICAN) AND QUITE FRANKLY THE DRIVERS IN VICTORIA WERE WORSE THAN THOSE IN MY TOWN (IN CALIFORNIA). HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT!?!

Damn right it is!

 

How did you like Victoria? I went there a couple years ago, and if I could move to another city in Canada it's definitely where I'd go.

It was nice; really clean and aside from the more aggressive drivers (which admittedly have nothing on the LA ones). It was rather expensive in the touristy sections of downtown (though that is to be expected) but over all it is a city that I would like to live in (kind of like the better parts of San Diego).

Smells like...Victory.

 

After 1 hour of attempting to burn [redacted] I have finally manged to burn [redacted], which should now allow me to [extended redaction] which will make me happy, and generally more capable on the computer.

 

 

Was rather a pain in the neck, since the DVDs I was trying to use were constantly being rejected by the computer...I had gone out to buy some expensive DVDs which would apparently solve the problem, but the store didn't have any and it is/was two hours before the stores that might have them opened, and 5 hours before the stores that definately had them (barring act of God) opened.

So got out the CD cleaner, sent is round and round (speakers don't work on the computer that has a working CD-Rom drive so played the air piano to the tune of the song), finished, stuck the DVD back in and searched wistfully, looking for another solution.

6th retry it finally took and began burning. Looks like I have about 50 minutes to an hour of burning(assuming they all work first time from now on...wholey unlikely)

 

 

No...Wait, I/O error...Huzzah. Looks like I am going to need to buy some disks...

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Came across this song today. I feel I need to share it with you guys. It is just, it is beyond words.

I used to love that band, but I stopped listening to them for no real reason.

It's a REALLY big shaft.

Damn this, I keep falling asleep leaning on the back of my chair, this is the third time I've woken up with my entire arm being asleep and cold to touch. The first time I didn't even realize I was facing the wrong way, so I just relaxed and it felt like I was holding my mouse, then I open my eyes and...

My TV is gone!

No, wait, there it is, I was facing the wall. So how about my mouse?

My arm is suspended in midair and I didn't notice, I'm a [bleep]ing [developmentally delayed]!!

Spending two hours wandering around a PC store with a relatively healthy bank account is a bad idea.

There was a computer worth £950, on sale for £667 pounds. Top of the range, 1 Terabyte hard disk, 6 gigabytes Ram.

Only downsides were a broken hinge, a stupid design, and the fact I don't actually need a new computer (Though would solve the myriad of problems with my current computer).

 

Eventually, decided against buying it.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

And dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

 

So many parts can be destroyed through silly mishandlement.

Not necessarily true, as long as you touch the case before you touch a part, there's no risk of frying anything. Other than that and dropping something, not much else can go wrong.
