Won’t be bringing the laptop. I think I’ll get some components for chirashi sushi and some other nice stuff for my bento box. Gonna have to make it nice and filling for a long day.
My weekend comes to a close
I didn’t get called in to work (though I was kinda hoping), but at least I managed to get a bit of a break. Today I decided to tidy things up around the place, relax, played some games, and fiddled with the blog again.
Also went through my mail. Apparently I get a free gift for working five years without getting fired! The selections were interesting. I decided to go with the portable Sony PC speakers. Those will be great for my laptop.
Those Dota 2 invites finally got put to good use
I seriously couldn’t get rid of them to save my life. Luckily I sold all of them for 3 cents each (one cent goes to valve), and surprisingly they all sold. So I couldn’t give them away because no one was interested… but I could sell them? Weird how that works.
So I decided to browse the community market with my entire 18 cents and bought a Vintage Tribalmans Shiv for 14 cents. All the other stuff I either couldn’t afford or just wasn’t of interest to me.
Early Morning Open Thread
So far I’ve done a good job of keeping myself entertained. I added a new plugin to the forum to improve bbcodes (like URL/video etc) the downside is that some of the templates won’t work with it due to either how they are coded or just being very old.
Also decided to make some spiced coconut rice pudding. Kind of tasted like a coconut chai, real nice.
Oh, played some TF2 and Q3A. Can’t believe I still remember Quake.
Cops did not see this coming.
This is just lolzy.
When a ten-person strong team of Swedish police officers responded to an emergency call over the weekend, they didn’t know what they were in for, but considering the details they had to go on — the caller’s description of the situation stated had included the sound of gunshots and frantic cries for help — they can be forgiven for expecting the worst. Happily, rather than gruesome abbatoir they may have anticipated, the officers were instead confronted with… a group of teenagers playing Call of Duty.
Oh man that’s hilarious.
YouTube is introducing a pay to subscribe service.
Not for all channels mind you, just for certain ones.
A new chapter in online video is about to begin. YouTube is prepping to launch paid subscriptions for individual channels on its video platform in its latest attempt to lure content producers, eyeballs, and advertiser dollars away from traditional TV, according to multiple people familiar with the plans.
I wonder how long it’ll take for people to capture the videos from said channels and put them on a site that doesn’t charge for subs. 😛
Makeup, the womans warpaint
So I was reading manboobz today and came acrossed this article that was published from the MGTOW (men going their own way) site. So what are they ranting about today? Makeup.
This is a gender war. Some men don’t know there’s a war. But almost every man feels something is wrong.
Some men who know there’s a gender war haven’t identified all of the weapons that are being arrayed against them.
One of these weapons is a wyman’s make-up.
Make-up is an unconventional weapon, and it’s often unrecognized as a threat.
Yeah, there is a gender war. It’s called the war on women, and asshats like these started it. Also, makeup as warpaint? Yeah, I’ve made that joke before. But didn’t really see it as a weapon… but then I guess a thing of lipstick could be deadly…?
I’m starting to think they’re more jealous than anything.
Early Evening Open Thread
Feeling ALOT better today. I even put on my trenchcoat and went out to the bank to make a deposit. Real chilly out but at least I got to see a small bit of sun before twilight hit.
Now I’m kicking back and drinking some red velvet tea. Hmmmm what to do tonight, so many options!
