So today I went out to my car for the first time in weeks… and it wouldn't turn on. Turns out I stupidly let the battery die from not using the car all this time.
It's all fixed now, but definitely not a fun way for the Friday to continue, haha.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
How was your Day 2 (general chat)

If your car battery died just from not being used in a few weeks, it might be a good idea to get a new, non-sucky battery. But I mean if it was months upon months I dunno.

Haha yeah, that's what had to be done. Thankfully, I have Triple A service, so they came and installed a new battery on the spot.

Today I went out for a walk to Smashburger to try out their chicken sandwich and smashfries.
Some of the crappiest fries I ever had. Not getting those again. -_-

So they're awful in general then? I've seen one nearby that I planned on going to at some point, but maybe that's not a good idea!

They're not bad, it was a place I went to occasionally back in Houston and it never disappointed.
I personally didn't mind the fries, but wouldn't exactly call them memorable. They weren't terrible for me though, that sort of stuff could also be easily chalked up to local franchises.

Well I never said the place itself was awful, just the smashfries.
The buffalo fries however, are A-ok IMO, and the smashchicken sandwich is de-mothafucking-licious!

@Rogues':
When you've finished reading the first couple chapters, let me know what your thoughts are. :happy:
I finally sat down today to read this manga and I'm on chapter 16 now and lo' and behold I just came across this while we were just discussing the crusades in the Random News thread.
[hide]
[/hide]Ha! Anyway, I'm really enjoying this manga so far and direction it's going in with the main characters. Mikiri is the breastbest and that's no lie! Unfortunately, looks like there's only 60 chapters so I'm not looking forward to that. I will now continue my reading and not disrupt this thread with unrelated manga talk, though that is what I did today…and go to work.Everything's Eventual…

I am doing researches about Glenn Miller and working with the museum staff this days, selecting photos, sound tapes, CDs and books about the subject. I am also work in the library, so if people who visited the museum wants to know about him, I can help them find the answer and also recommends books (etc).
I am always happy when people visit the library (which is rare), but I also am happy when I am able to help the museum. AHH ! I warned the trainee that if she continues to act that way, I would approve the firing of her, this is the 1# warning..Let´s hope this is the last one.
Ah…A thing that will happen in August, my friend from the northeast will visit me. We will go to a League of Legends event (but that is just a pretext to meet each other).
-
I read the first chapter, and have to say I'm not really seeing the appeal. I'll read on, but the whole 'fanservice' thing bugs me. I guess I just feel that everything should have some kind of reasoning behind it within a series, and lots of nudity with little purpose other than boosting sales figures isn't really what I'd call appealing.
Really the gripe stems from finding yet another strong female character that will be sexually objectified to a point where it completely overshadows her other values within the series.
I'll agree that this series would have benefited from the fanservice being toned down, with more focus on the manga's stronger points (The Martial Arts and split personalities). Sometimes too much fanservice can break a reader's tension from a serious situation.
N-Not I didn't m-mind the fanservice…especially Hibiki...

I love her rough, crude, no-shits-given tomboy attitude~
Keep Reading! Glad to know you're enjoying it

Exhausted.
I had a meeting yesterday (and Mondays are usually my day off so that sucked) and had promised myself I'd finish writing an important piece today based on that meeting. We're building a new exhibition and I'm one of those assigned to find people that will let us borrow some of their stuff so that's what I mainly intended to focus on today. We got a tight deadline and a lot of people to reach out to so it’s kind of important that it gets done on time.
Buuuuuut.…
That didn't happen.
When I got to work today I had another meeting - the one we hold weekly where we discuss what will happen, what kind of help people will need to make sure that the things that they intend to happen will happen etc.
When the meeting was done I got busy while the colleague with me was at a second meeting of the day, forcing me to take care of the things we were supposed to do together (as a museum host one of the assignments is standing in the reception and taking care of visitors, phones, the store etc - it can be really easy or tough depending on how many people visit, call etc and it wasn't too hectic but it kept me busy). And then when she got back and a third colleague took over in the reception we got into ANOTHER meeting with the head of the store and the head of a product company whose stuff we're selling.
And then I had a late lunch.
And then colleague nr 1 and I were kind of freaking out because we’re also in charge of social media and we need to get a few stories out there, we didn't do much last week. We had some ideas but they were a bit controversial and we were advised to check it off with the boss of the particular area the subject targeted. He sent it over to another dude who thought it was very much ok BUT that dude is also very easygoing (whenever one of my mails somehow end up in his lap he sends me tips on really fantastic, funny, horrible things) and tipped us on another controversial idea we loved and… that wasn’t ok to post. V.v Urgh. I shouldn’t have asked. It was too good to pass up. Oh well.
And anyway, when all those things were done the day was practically over.
So yeah.
My reward for the day?Better call Saul, episode 2.
So god damn awesome. Dropping down by your computer at the end of a day like this and just getting some really good gallows humour? Priceless.
Also, I’m really into deep water today and apparently see Breaking Bad everywhere. I had to check twice to make sure that one of the visitors that came in really wasn’t Aaron Paul, the actor who played Jesse Pinkman (they were creepily similar but I’m pretty sure the real one doesn’t speak Swedish).
I guess that’s some kind of sign that I need to put my bucket in a head full of ice water (because doing it the other way around would just be silly). -
"How Unlucky we are" by Tite Kubo.
One week after all the shit, the manager of my former job called me to ask if i would like to be hired again by the airline company. Obviously said yes!, next week i will start. Now have to quit my shitty job, don't know what excuse could use
for my resignation letter.I will relax this afternoon while taking the application papers, listening Symphony in A major by Saint-Saëns.
-
Well I'd call this a mostly good day.
I did spend a few hours worrying about my keys, thankfully I had left them at home. But I've got two days off ahead of me, I finally figured out my financial aid problem, aaaaand….my late grandfather's house sold, and the profits went to his four children....one of which is my dad.
Let's just say we can finally pay off the bills.....and then some.
-
The exposition of Glenn Miller at the museum will start in the 14th day (Saturday), and everything is looking great. There's even a room that you can exchange music tracks when you step buttons on the floor. And also videos of live performances.
Today I drank a "new" soda, "Guaraná Jesus," tastes like Tutti Frutti, I felt cheated.
-
So I meant to post this a few days ago but got caught up in life. Figured it was still worth a post. Got a fun little package in the mail, especially cause for some reason it weirded my mother out that I got something from Brazil.
!
Shout out to Cpt. Ugly for dedication to his trivia challenges and finding a great way to make it interesting. Lets hope zachri doesn't hunt me down for winning this one.

Woke up late and spent the entire first part of my day angry at everything. I guess it's the after effects of finding yourself with a lot of free time after an especially stressful time. So that was the bad part.
The good part, whenever I get angry and depressed I get into one mad cleaning mood.Later on I decided to start painting again after what's been almost a year. Never realized how much I missed it, and also completely forgot that acrylics is my niche.
I don't really like accepting that though. It's like my style clashes with my interests. Want to get into anime/manga, comics and game design? Well, your style is impressionistic-ish acrylic paintings. Have fun!
Maybe I should try to revolutionize the market or something. -

I should check this thread more often. This time it led me to check out that manga you fellas kept talking about. I read the first chapter, adored the art, and found the concept interesting. But it took quite some willpower to not jump ahead to #60 and see what that crappy ending is. '_'

My saturday was pretty adventurous this time around.
I had finally gained the courage to take a bus trip to downtown for the very first time and to be honest, it was quite a splendid trip. I especially enjoyed my time at a place called the Barcadia, a barcade joint that I have been planning to go to for weeks ever since I heard about it. I also enjoyed the relaxing time that I had in the Fort Worth Water Gardens, which I have taken a couple of pics of with this being the best one.
I hope to take another trip down there someday. ^_^

Lucky you, and we're freezing our butts off over on the east side of U.S.A. Just looking at that picture makes me warm.
It's 8 degress farenheight in Maryland.

Even though I warned the people at the museum that it would be horrible to start the exhibition on the same day that Carnaval starts, no one heard me. And until now, few people visited the museum, but I hope things starts to get better next week.
Saturday was cool, I was present at the opening, I've never seen so many grandparents with their children or grandchildren visiting the museum and the best part, they also visited the library.
Now the city is empty, most people are spending the holiday at the beach or parading in the blocks. I took advantage and took part in a "street" carnaval group. I saw a child dressed as Sub-Zero and dancing samba.
Personal life ?, I decided that I will go out every friday night to have fun drinking.

Look on the bright side, it could have been one degree.

Having that awesome time where this whole weekend Foolio came over in his first boyfriend visit of what I can only imagine will be many.
Awesome awesome awesome times.
-
-
Foolio ain't no fool when it comes to the ladies~
-
Gasp. Foolio and Noq are dating? I did not see that coming.
-
WOW..AP becomes a "dating site".. Congratulations !!
On topic, yesterday I went to a bar. It was kinda sad being alone and see the surrounding tables filled with couples/friends having fun. But yeah, good food, good music and I had a good time. Just…Too much food.:blink:
Can´t wait for next friday.
-
Yup life is good

Woot! I was away from home for a week and two days taking care of cats and dogs, and it was great. Today was a lot less freezing than the past week, so my second cousin and I went out to breakfast with my aunt and twin sis at a restaurant in Rochester called The Frog Pond (which was awesome), then did a little shopping at a nearby boutique. My favorite boots finally disintegrated, so after parting ways with my aunt and sister, we went on the hunt for a new pair of boots. Ended up finding a much better and even upgraded pair of the same brand, so it wasn't too heartbreaking to toss the old ones in the end (rest in pieces, old Blowfish… you've served your purpose). It's just been an all around feel good week that ended nicely.
-
I thought I had heard something a few months back, and it was especially loud today, but I tried to think of it as nothing.
Went up at midnight and found a mouse in the trash.Not. Fun.
And judging by the squeals (which I though might be a byproduct of electricity at first) there's a whole damn colony in the walls.
There goes this nights sleep… -
so far, this week is being cool.
My mother finally managed to retire. Finally something good happened to her !!
It was not easy, her doctor had to make a report and submit to medical expertise…But in the end everything went fine.
About my work, I have the chance to be transferred to Rio de Janeiro to work in the library of the museum they have there, this time I would be promoted to chief librarian. I still don´t know about this ... I do not like the idea of living in Rio.

Woke up today feeling really wierd so I relocated to the bathroom.
And puked.
And then I called my colleagues at work saying I wouldn't be coming in today. Or tomorrow (at least) to be on the safe side.
Urgh.
I did my best to sleep but gave up around 3-4 PM. I had gotten up now and then to try and down some water at least but I wasn't much good for anything at all. My roomate came home closer to five with a big cartoon of apple juice that agreed with me so around dinner time I tried to eat something (two pieces of white toast and apple juice)… which was also fine. And now I've had two more pieces of toast and I'm feeling much better. My joints are stiff from sitting up in bed and reading but hey, the booksale was yesterday and I actually managed to snag something that wasn't a dissapointment so I've been able to enjoy myself.
Tomorrow will be worse, though. I was supposed to roleplay with my friends, we haven't done it in about a month since one of us moved away to study in a diffrent town and I've been looking forward to it for weeks ;_;
This sucks. I'll feel healthy and miserable and all I'll do is change sheets and towels. -
Today I had to make a blood exam, tsc, nothing to worry, just a regular check up.
About my work, this is not the first time I come to a dilemma in my carrier. I really want to be promoted (of course), but to move to another city ? This is crazy…
I have until june to decide, so I have plenty of time.Also: Friday night = bar night, and this time I will have some friends from work with me. Not bad.
One last thing, February 28 will be the one year anniversary I stopped being friends with my ex best friend. How time flies ..
-
Yesterday was chill, gave Tutoring classes, received mails for the next business trip, Watched some Samuri Champloo, played pokemón. You know,normal stuff. Oh yeah, and someone was murdered like 10 meters from the house (someone ran him over) so today the blood stain was still in the pavement when i went out jogging.
-
It's been a good day. Went home to my parents for the weekend and took the opportunity to watch a movie on the TV, since i don't have one of those in my apartment.
Third anime movie of the box I bought some time ago (never watched Cowboy Bebop unfortunately, stuff came up). Metropolis.
A really odd, but beautiful movie. The story wasn't the best, but the movie felt more like it was about experiencing the world, so it's alright. The visuals were gorgeous in every aspect, especially all of the scenes involving Tima.Though next time, I'm watching with english subtitles. It's nice with a swedish translation, but it's in need of… improvements...
-
Was kind of a good day. In my job, a flight was cancelled and i was in charge of the sales department, means after the whole operation i have to make a sample of every sale activity made for the flights which included the relocation to another flights, was lucky this time, only 60 passengers.
I learned new skills to my job and part of the samples were made by the backup. I was able to leave at time
Now drinking Banana Milk Shake.

Bought a new gaming mouse today. Had been using a tiny three button mouse that I originally got to go with my old netbook before I got used to using the touchpad. Suffice to say this one is much better. Now I need a nice new keyboard to go with it.

I found out today that I'm moving in with my friend in Peoria this weekend and it's the first time ever I move out of Chicago for a long period of time. Superexcited, the rent is cheaper and I won't have to worry about burglars or any of that stuff anymore. It's basically like starting a new life. Everyday carry some good news!
-
God, just 3,5 short months until i'm done with basic training
So far i've gotten to the "skill" level where my collegues/teachers are more focused on the little details and mistakes.
I choose to take this as a mark of progression, like sure i'm still too sloppy, but atleast i know how to do shit.
-
Today I bought a book about the biography of Dead Kennedys. It is always nice to learn new stuff. Now I want to find a book about the Misfits.
Also being practicing some songs from Korpiklaani, yeah..I have time.
Work: I really don´t know, is like I am wasting a great opportunity.:sad:

The bills for my driving lessons are slowly killing me. I can't believe how expensive this shit is.
Not that the "i can't afford to fail" pressure does too much to help with the test taking anxiety

Had an Italian test today, wasn't too bad. As for History, we got our first and only real paper, due in a week. Not too hard of a premise, but with my laptop still in repair mode, I may to need to crunch time next week to do it.
Chemistry….woof, drawing structures just got a little trickier, plus I'm anxious to know how I did on my test.

SO. I graduated from college. I still have like ceremony stuff later this year, but I have my diploma already so idk if I actually need to go. :wassat: Now I'm job-hunting and tbh I don't know how well that's going. I got an offer, but negotiations are taking awhile and I don't know if that's normal. Weirdly now that I don't have classes, my anxiety seems to have gone up quite a lot. Maybe it's because you can prepare for tests and papers and assignments but then you get flung out into the unknown you were never trained for. I suppose I'm just suddenly at a point in my life where I don't know what's in store for me on the road ahead. It's a total mystery. Maybe that's just as exciting as it is terrifying. I can't decide.
At the least I sort of got to reconnect with a couple friends, so I know we're still friends.

Congratulations !! And relax, is normal to take a while to find a job after you graduate. Enjoy this free moment, but be sure to continue your search for new jobs.
And I think you should go to the ceremony, is always nice to see your friends and be part of this important part of your life.
About my life and work: Things are going well in the museum, since Carnaval is over, lot´s of people are going to the expo (lot´s of Grandparents and their children and grandchildren). The next exposition will be about Renato Russo, I am not a huge fan of Legião Urbana, but they were a good/important band for Brazil.
March 12 will be Librarian day in my country, so I got invited to a series of events (lectures, meetings,courses, etc ) across my city (there is even a dance party at night). I just can´t wait.

Just about to start recording my 4k subscriber Q&A for youtube.

The end result will probably be an hour long, just like last time. -
