What was that? "Brittania rule the waves"? Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of swedish gold medals, must be a bad reception

Everytime somebody says "Britannia", my thoughts go straight to "Hail Lord British!"[/ultima_series]
The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom? What's that?

@kraus: tbh i knew that you were implying recent windows, but microsoft is one of those companies realizes when they've screwed up--quickly. once it launches and bombs, they'll be quick to patch things up; i don't see 8 bankrupting microsoft any more than ME did. support will be limited or it will be reduced to being an OS for tablets and phones only. they're making too big a leap too fast, and i think deep down, they do (or will) know that.

@bella: every person outside of red (and you, ms. unix, strangely enough) i've talked to about vista has reported crap. the thing is, they put it out too fast. they didn't test it enough. they didn't realize the repercussions that the service packs would have on the original installs, just the same as XP (evidently they didn't learn from that mistake there). and it is a very glitchy OS as a result of poor planning, testing, and yes, hardware. however, there is more than just glitches that puts me off of vista; perhaps it is the strain that aero puts on the PC (to the point where i equipped a theme made for older computers just to disable it and have some nostalgia; it makes the sidebar solid though, lol), maybe it's the CONSTANT user account control checks (no vista, i DO know what's best), or it could be the unfinished feel and lack of flexibility. Vista was more of a gateway OS than anything else; not quite XP, not quite 7.

@nej: yay, more reason to be proud of my heritage. as if that [as] bump about canada wasn't enough. -w-

So, I actually ended up getting an early start on Christmas shopping today ^_^;

This might just be the earliest I've started on it in recent memory; beating out getting the plush Chocobo for Kari in September last year.

[Chocofreak13]

good for you!

as for bella, the shakedown begins now: WHERE BE MY PAINT THINNER AND SEALER SPRAY
IT'S BEEN TWO MONTHS WOMAN

[Nichi]

I'm sure she'll get it to you soon
inb4BellaSays"Where'sMySweater?" </gamefaqs_memes>

[Chocofreak13]

no, the deal was i return her sweatshirt after she returns my supplies. the sweatshirt is of no use to me; i have a lovely sweatshirt already.
and sweatshirts are significantly easier to get than the thinner and spray. :\

[Bella]

Hah, its funny you mention it, I just got started yesterday and am going to try to wrap it up in the next hour or so, before I have to run some errands.

I'm having fun so far, but it's also a bit nerve-wracking working on such a small scale, since my hands jitter like you wouldn't believe. >_>

[Nichi]

Sounds like me, when I was helping my mom paint little ceramic houses for her Christmas village; I was fine until it came time to add tiny details ^_^;

I got better at small things like that, it feels like. Not confident enough to paint eyes on a dollfie, but I can at least plug in those tiny wires for the faceplate on a PC (Which is very tricky, given the tiny plugs, limited space, and that I used to have a problem with keeping my hands steady)

[Bella]

Also: I got all the new MLP posters and a metallic Rarity figure.

YOU MENTIONED THIS ONE PAGE BACK OMG STOP TI

And I'm already recruiting people to find those posters for me. THERE WILL BE REWARDS!

[Nichi]

@Bella: Really? I'll get right on it!

@Stew: So, where would the pony posters be located?

[Bella]

Ehh, just check whenever you go to walmart next, there's no rush. I think Stew said they were in the toy section with the MLP stuff, but i don't know the details.

[Nichi]

Kay. I'll also check the poster rack they have, just in case

Also, images of what the other posters look like would be nice; since I know about the world map that Nejin posted

[Dr. Kraus]

Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves!
Britain's never never never shall be slaves!

(Wonder who has more golds than the Swedes ~)

[NejinOniwa]

And that's a fat surprise, innit?

No, srsly though, you guys are doing way better than I expected against the chinese and whatnot. Hats off. But it was very satisfying to snag that medal out of your little grabby fingers... :3
