Hey Kari, how goes your classes?

Started class this week, trying to balance school and relaxation better since I did a very bad job with it last semester.

[Nichi]

@Bella: Good luck :[
Also, I just realized you have 11,111 posts currently -w-

Today was my day off, though it was a lot busier than I would have liked. It starts off easy enough; I get up, I listen to the latest commentary released by Some Jerk With A Camera (He's releasing a new one each day, covering all 8 parts of his "ABC Sitcoms Go To Disney World" retrospective), and then I get the idea to work on a new review...and then mom decides "let's go to Tyler".

We end up spending more time there than we intended, and by the time we got home, we had to rush to get my sister's dining table to her before it got dark out. We also needed to go by my grandparents' place (Mom's side), and pick up some tables...and they unloaded some extra junk on us, to put in the sale, on top of giving us the shittiest looking tables possible that are literally falling apart (In fact, I got a small cut on my leg from the loose wood on one of them). At last, with all of that out of the way, we go obtain burgers for supper.

Also, I may have put a little too much booze in this drink I mixed. Oh well; with how hectic today was, it's nice to unwind

@Penti: Sounds like a tedious time overall, but burgers + alcohol is a good time, at least... right? o3o
@Bella: Good luck!
@Red: Subbed
@Pitkin: ZenFones are usually pretty decent budget phones, but the designs give me a bit of pause (power button at the very top of the device ;^;)


So I guess I've started learning Japanese again after not seeing my teacher for well over six months now... I promised myself I would learn the language since I was 12, so I can't afford to waste time. It would be nice to do something like that language learning thread I made a while back, but without my impaired maturity.

So today I realised that Screamin' Jay Hawkins' I Put a Spell On You is essentially about a obssessive rapist talking about his next victim.  Just look at these lyrics.

I love you, I love you
I love you anyhow
I don't care if you don't want me
I'm yours right now

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine, mine, mine
Oh you're mine

reminds me of the intentions behind "Every Step You Take". everyone thinks it's so sweet, and nice, but no, it's actually about a stalker.

@Pent: good luck with the sale! and we can be rando injury buddies, I have a large cut on my arm that came out of nowhere. :0

@Bells: they're nice! time-consuming, but nice. i'm getting comfortable but am still nervous about screwing up. It doesn't seem that hard, though, when some of my classmates don't use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation...

also, I want to buy my textbooks. :0

@leaf: congrats!! I HIGHLY recommend this youtube series; I have a lot of trouble with language learning, and all the stuff I learned with it stuck!

moved a bunch of stuff to Rindge today, with mum. most of it went upstairs, but some had to stay downstairs for the moment, since either I didn't want dog fur on it, or the box was basically destroyed (I bought a bookshelf where the box is shredded. a bitch to transport, but I got 10% off! ).

[Goujer (she/her)]

Everyone's moving things it seems.

I just bought a cassette player/recorder at my university reuse center for $3 with a cassette of a freshman orientation in 1999 and me and my roommates can't stop using it to record dank memes over the blank part at the end.

I also found a Macintosh LC III for $10, quite the find!

[LeaflameSD]

@Kari: I will be checking those out. Thanks -w-
@Le-Gojer: !!! Where o3o

[Nichi]

@Lego: I'm reminded of how I almost had a Mac SE/30 ages ago, but the hard disk was apparently dead (It did have one, yes), and I couldn't find any boot disks lying around ;_;

I filed my taxes last night, and actually got a pretty sizable return this time. I'm planning to taking a trip to visit Kari at some point this year; we're going to iron out the details of it later on. There's a possibility of going to AB, depending on how much money I need to attend (If I can get the flight cheap enough, if I knew how much I need to pitch in for a hotel, and if they aren't sold out of passes by the time my tax return shows up).

[Goujer (she/her)]

@pent That's why you don't throw away floppies.

[Nichi]

True. This was at an estate sale years ago, and while I did find a boxed copy of Microsoft Office for Mac (IDK what version) in the same room, there weren't any Mac boot disks that I could find

[Pitkin]

@Pitkin: ZenFones are usually pretty decent budget phones, but the designs give me a bit of pause (power button at the very top of the device ;^;)

The power button is indeed in a really awkward spot; however, luckily the screen can be turned on and off by double-tapping it, which makes the use of power button only necessary for powering the phone. Luckily so, as otherwise the button would definitely drive me bonkers. ^^;

Yeah, double tap is insanely useful and I'm glad that they brought the feature in there


in other news, depression sucks

[Chocofreak13]

indeed it does! s'made writing my homework assignment a bitch, since I can't remember any life events too clearly. at least, not enough to turn into an essay. :0
no prob on the videos, btw. they were really helpful, and honestly, kinda hilarious. xD OHMAGAWD THERE'S A KITTY.

@legs: a tape recording of a freshman orientation? what is it, instructions on how to give them the tour...?


all of my manga still here is in boxes in the basement and the shelves are mostly empty now and it's sad to look at

[Nichi]

Mmm :[

Looking forward to going on some kind of trip in a few months. Still unsure on when I'm going yet; I could possibly make AB happen, as I have ideas for potential cosplays, while I also kinda want to go in late May\early June, so we could go to the beach and do other stuff

Found a great YouTube channel recently, The Post-Apolcalyptic Inventor.  It's really good if you're into electrical engineering, mechanics, ghetto mods, building things from scratch, hacking electronics, etc.
