  1. I wore my first pair of heels tonight. It was a lot of fun, but I can't believe women wear them regularly! Brava!

      I bet your calves looked amazing though.

      If you're interested in some never worn charcoal gray snakeskin platforms in an 11 wide let me know, they take up too much space in my closet. :p

  2. As a part of Senior Week, my university department hosted a table-top gaming day, which is the best way to spend a day at work. :)

      I was glad I picked up Pandemic for this event; it was entirely too much fun! And there are two new role cards since I played it last?! Yes, please!

  3. I just found out there's a board game cafe down the street from my apartment. How did I miss this for two months?!

      oooh one of these was supposed to be opening in Cleveland sometime this year. I should check back and see if they did. Thanks for reminding me :D

  4. Super Random Question: Does anyone know of an organist in the Boston area looking for a job?

      In the dictionary, this should be the example given for a term called "super random question".

      oddly enough I know an organist.. If you'd like, I can see if he has anyone in his network in Boston.

    4. Jackal

      Jackal

      Followed up with Toobz and Huntyre. Big thanks! Finding an organist is always tricky work.

      Fera, I take my organists seriously, but I always joke about pianists ;)

  5. I thought I'd use the day off to check out ArcheAge. My Glyph account was banned 30 minutes after I created it while the game was still downloading, though. :(

      I ended up doing that, but it's tied to an e-mail account I don't monitor.

      Why the ban? O.O

      Because they know he's a naughty boy!

  6. My apartment hunt is done! Super excited! Zomg!

  7. Just found a new WS access boss! The roommate who didn't pay the internet bill.

  8. I'm into a Reclaim Your Avatar moment. Objectification is just too commercial for either side.

    1. Fera

      Fera

      I miss my eye!

  9. My computer was bugging out due to a busted keyboard key. (I was able to remap it using only the mouse.) RIP, F5. I'm so sorry I took your refresh ability for granted all these years.

      Wait just a minute! Toobz was at that shin-dig and we didn't get a pic of him!?

      Makiko

      We got one of his son winning some martial arts award instead! And I think he posted one of his son at PAXEast too.

  11. After months of threatening to do so, I finally finished all the planned upgrades on my rig. Yay!

      haha Tyrlis.. it's true though. Go get 'em Commander Shepard

  12. So, I need to get my roommate an "I'm sorry for accusing you for stealing from me" gift. Flowers should be appropriate, right?

      lol.. I would just say sorry and buy them a few drinks, but flowers work too.

      Which roommate and what was stolen?

      If your roomie is a guy, beer is the male equivalent of flowers.

  13. Are the women required to have beefy, shirtless male avatars now? It's looking like a stable in here. ;)

      Climbed out of a window in business casual to find the locksmith working on it first thing this morning :p

  15. Didn't realize how much I missed 80's sci-fi until I started watching The Terminator.

      Go watch Highlander and Bladerunner!

  16. I'm certain I haven't learned the nuance between the parenthetical aside and the em dash interjection.My application of either is rather haphazard.

    1. Ashin

      Ashin

      Settle down please.

    2. Midri

      Midri

      Parenthetical is whispered; dash is shouted. It's a question of emphasis. ^^

  17. The NYT crossword was a Schrodinger puzzle (more than one solution) for April Fools'. I'm envious of constructors who can pull that off!

    1. Ashin

      Ashin

      That's kind of amazing.

  18. Turns out, if you call and harass Microsoft Customer Service enough, you can upgrade from Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit for free. Yay!

      I feel your pain. We had an issue with our internet & cable service recently (only 3 days after it was hooked up!) and I was on the phone with tech support FOREVER. Dunno how many times I argued that I was not going to turn the box off and on again and yes I'd already tried that because I'm not a moron. :p

      Next time feel free to reach out to me. I can't promise anything, of course, but I could probably at least grease a few wheels or remove a few road blocks.

    4. Huntyre

      Huntyre

      I applaud you in get 64bit

  19. Post-WvW Solo Dance Party in a Suit. I love Mondays.

      Why do I miss things like this?

  20. My approach to budget meetings: Drink too much the night before. Show up hungover. Get more money than the initial request.

      Ah, yeah. I work in social sciences and humanities. Spreadsheets confuse the higher ups, so I make a lot of them.

      No worries Jack, I was drinking, things got crazy and a few rams later the tower fell down. I think we all had fun in the end.

      Fun game, how many innuendos can you find in this sting of posts.

      Yes, please! I just ordered my Spanish Ambien from a sketchy website, so fingers crossed it shows up in time.

      Excellent idea Ashin!
