Demon G Sides:

Yikes. I’ve finally stopped trading in games at Gamestop (The return against how much money I spent has finally reached a point that I can no longer stand it), and my collection has been growing.

But good god, that’s a lot of games.

Yeah, but half that could be, like, Baldur’s Gate 2 and The Pandora Directive.

There are a lot of multi-disk games and expansions in there. It’s also pretty much every CD or DVD based game I’ve ever purchased on PC. There’s some stuff in there that I really should throw away or put in a box or something. It’s been a long time since I loaded up the original Need for Speed. ;-)

What’cha got that you might get rid of? ;)

Wow, everything outside has this weird, golden, almost sepia tone.

I wonder if there’s a storm coming…

I got in 45 minutes of exercise today (15 minutes on the torture machine, and then 30 minutes of walking later in the day.) I am proud of myself.

Patience is a virtue. By waiting at the lights and refusing temptation to jay-walk, I avoided being fined by a patrol car waiting at the other side. Unlike some other dude who now owes some money to the Government.

Also, I hate people.

It’s my BIRTHDAY!

Houngan · 2010-09-29T06:07:05.000Z

There’s not much of me left.

Jump through the swirling Vortex. You’re in the interdimension. Everyone else hasn’t been disappearing, they’ve just been going to their proper Universe.

I hate recruiters. I hate talking on the phone. Stop fucking bullying me, because I’m a young newb in the world of business. There’s something lost in the art of negotition or wtf-ever when you place me on hold every 5 minutes.

*As I am currently on hold now.

Further proof the end of the world is near:

I went to renew my drivers license today, and I was in and out in less then 15 minutes.

I went to take my motorcycle driving test, and was done in 10. What’s that say about the test?

H.

Last time I did that, I was there for nearly four hours.

Fortunately, I brought my copy of Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur with me, and the first couple of pages flew by like that.

Beware the can opener. Beware the can.

Happy birthday Delta.

There was a double rainbow in my backyard today. I took some very bad iPhone photos, but I did not have any kind of mystical experience.

What’s funny is that there were actually a fair number of people there, but I guess they were doing really complicated stuff or something. I took my ticket and before I knew it they were calling me up. Then they asked me a few questions, took my money, and made me do the quick eye test, then told me to sit down until called up for the picture. That took like five minutes.

I actually felt bad for everyone else. Apparently renewals are super fast; taking your tests must be the part they can’t keep up with anymore.

Stupid WPTZ. I’m trying to watch The Office and your feed has gone dark. FIX IT! Now!
