Welp, my "never been in a car accident" streak has been broken. Rear ended on the highway. That sucked. I *think* I'm ok, and my car isn't totaled, so I guess it could be a lot worse?

Sorry to hear that Val, but I'm glad you were not injured.
-
Oh no! I think Fera's right and you should still see a doctor. If this were House, you'd have some tiny bone fracture that will start to kill you mysteriously in a few months...
-
*frantically hoping I'm not secretly in an episode of House*
I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow to schedule an appointment, or maybe just go to an Urgent Care.

Woot! Exalgar/X Potion and I got "The Eternal" today. We killed every raid boss in GW2 without dying. And we did it in like...under 3 hours (not part of the title).

Should clarify - the achievement is for no one in your party dying in any of the bosses.
-
Pretty excellent =) how long had your group been working on that?
-
Most of the group raids throughout the week, though for X Potion and I it was basically our second weekend of trying. It was our second Sabetha kill that was deathless, and I think 3rd or 4th for his guild overall. We then went back and did Gorseval deathless for those who needed it and got it second try. It's not too bad since the moment anyone dies you just wipe and restart, saves time.

Oh no. A UNIQLO opened up here finally. My first trip and I'm already down *way* more than I should. And I want more. My poor wallet

New computer hype! Reinstalling everything - less hype!

You just took me through a roller coaster of emotions, Val. Happy! Sad! But ultimately happy?! \o/
-
I'm going to try to drag it out and do as I need, so it's less painful. Overall, though, very pleased! My memory is giving hints that it might want to be RMA'd, but I don't want to be without a machine for the holiday, and I cannibalized a hard drive out of my old machine so it would take a LOT of work to set it back up.
The current one is running fine for now, with the odd app crash here and there. Maybe it's just moody.
-
I maxed out the error count on memtest! I didn't even know that was possible!
-
ANet addressed the pre purchase controversy. Free character slot for all veteran players, refunds for those who are unhappy. Seems fair to me.

already uninstalled - felt like Anet just took a big dump on all of the people who supported them from the beginning.
-
Sure, and that's absolutely your prerogative. I'm happy with all the free content we got and know I'll eventually want to play the expansion, so for me I'll go for it. The nice thing about a no-sub game is you could come back months later and pick it up if you want. Price will likely always be an issue, though, but if you got what you wanted from it, then all the power to ya. It's likely in that case that pretty much any price point won't both satisfy and be financiall...
-
actually for $20-$30 it was a no brainer for me... but after supporting their cash shop (which I totally enjoyed), it feels like their desired target market are the people they valued the least. Now.. for people who put minimal investment into the game or people who didn't spend anything.. it's a great deal.
-
Finally submitted a Passport application. Woo!
-
Where are you going??
-
everyone should have a passport... you never know when adventure will strike!
-
@Midri - Japan to visit Bastion!
@Huntyre - You are more than likely right, but there is so much adventure to be had in this massive country that I had yet to get around to it. There's still plenty of time though.

Finished my second world completion. May I never have to do that again...

I could barely do it once.
-
Leisurely Sunday drive is the way to do it. It's a gorgeous world, and that's the way to enjoy it. Luckily, they have good running builds for every class now, and optimal paths.
Also Orr is not nearly as bad anymore, they reduced mob density and toned down the pulls/cripples/chills that used to be omnipresent while just trying to pass through.
-
I don't remember much of map complete, probably because I bossed people around to take me places and port me through vistas and what not...

I went to make my first FF14 character but Leviathan is currently not accepting new toons

OOOO I are happy! Did you get a g/invite yet?
-
Not yet, I've spent the first day on my own just trying to level up, get a feel for the game, and figure out if I'd like it before I wasted anyone's time on things like that. That said, I think I do. I'm Lvl 11 right now.
-
Now I do! Thanks Grieve ^.^

Phew, finally back from an amazing PAX. Now to catch up on all of the things x.x

Yay Seattle.

I got 4 books signed by Pat Rothfuss which was pretty great, and in BYOC raffles won a headset and Dani won a graphics card, so that was pretty rad. Overall, a very great time!
-
Aw, awesome!

Nothing quite like having an unexpected free hour at work and being able to spend it writing mail from a fancy steakhouse, sipping on wine and nomming on deviled eggs, all in the middle of the work day.

When it's 90 out and your building doesn't have AC, a portable AC unit is a truly magical thing. I don't want to move away from in front of it

Normally, cleaning can be quite therapudic. Calming. Satisfying. Somehow, I don't think scrubbing toilets applies in this case. Blech.

I am very jealous of anyone who had someone else do it. Though after a point, the chemicals made it less bad. Followed by very bad when I got a headache.

Now call your mother and thank her for all her years of service!

The only reason why my in laws cleaned for me is my avatar.

Hey anime watchers - I don't do too much, but I really want to watch GITS: SAC. It's not on crunchyroll though, which is sad. Anyone know of a free and/or convenient way of watching it?

Hulu Plus has it
-
tvtorrents has the english dubs
-
www.nyaa.eu is my torrent go-to site. Just changes the filter settings to 'Anime: English-translated anime"(this is mostly for subbed and not dubbed, "Trusted Only", and then search for "ghost in the shell - stand alone complex". www.animeget.com is also a streaming site I use which also has GITS: SAC on it (I think in sub), as well.

Got sent a phone of the wrong carrier (T-Mobile instead of ATT) which wasted three hours of my day and requires a return! Argh! On the bright side, I got Din Tai Fung for dinner out of it (HI MAKIKO!~)

Also. I am extremely hungry and would love some dumplings right now

If you do that Jacked, I request that you use the actual word in Chinese ~ Xiǎo jiǎozi

Once I start taking Mandarin I'll work on that, but for now I might just stick with Jack's rendition.

On the upside, I am now confident that my car breaks work fantastically. However, I'd have preferred not to learn that by having a car pull out in front of me on a hill while I'm going 40mph. Thankfully the oncoming traffic lane was empty, but the look of "oh fuck did I just commit suicide" in that lady's eyes is going to stay with me for a while, as will the profuse "I'm so sorry" mouthed to me through the window as I came to a stop inches from her car door.

Hey mister, hey. It's been a long day
-
That could be the first two lines to a song!
-
It totally could! But I know exactly the face you speak of Val. Saw it once while sliding through a highway exit in a foot of snow as a guy stuck in a drift opened his door right in my path. The reaction you see in their eyes and face is nuts. Glad you made it out alright!

Trying to trim 3 different adult cat's claws is a dangerous battle. Especially when they're overdue and claws are basically talons. But I was victorious! All trimmed, no lasting damage done (to either me or them!)

I've been putting it off, but you've sufficiently shamed me. I shall undertake this quest tonight!
-
Nice! We did our dog's this week too and she makes it damn near impossible,but it was a success as well
-
Yus, Dar, I'm glad to hear that!
