The 'How Was Your Day' Thread

[Protoman Blues]

That's awesome. Congrats DW!!

[Quickman]

Stayed up all damn night and morning playing Pokemon, then finally crashed around 2 or 3 and slept for a few hours, then played Pokemon some more.  I'm sick and getting sicker, coughing, Mabel's pissed off at me because the only thing I think of lately is battling, and goddammit, I need sleep so very badly! 

But, I have four badges so far!

I stayed up 'til like 4 because I literally couldn't sleep for no reason. Ended up spending that time playing Bioshock Infinite and Dishonored. Got a glitch where I was getting detections inside the Boyle party. Had to restart. That sucks.

I'm running on two energy drinks as I type so I think I'll survive.

[Quickman]

Still sick.

I went to a neighborhood Halloween party to spread my sickness around.  Due to lack of materials (transportation to stores helps with acquiring materials) and lack of an idea of what I wanted to build, my costume for the party was last-minute.  I had bought an articulated werewolf mask and gloves, so I threw those on with what I was wearing.  So, I was a werewolf with an Iron Man hoodie.  Whatever.

The door-decorating contest was bogus.  The judge apparently didn't get the memo about the contest being for Halloween, so they only chose those porches with an autumn motif.  Thus, my porch with the severed head, spiders, blood-smeared door, and butcher-wrapped organs was right out.  I didn't even place. 

The costume contest was meh.  Most of the people there were kids, so it was comprised of kids and two adults.  Of course the kids are going to win.  It didn't matter how in-character I was.  I got second nonetheless.

Then the kid who got in first had to gloat about it.  Someone needs to be taught good sportsmanship.

Then some kid took the prize I won from that contest.

I'm tired of this day.  I'm going to go to sleep and get a new one.

I might have Gastroenteritis. Whatever my sister put in that smoothie, I had last night, must be the cause of it.

[Police Girl]

I'm improving from yesterday.

Busy day at work though, so I'll have to wait and see if this improvement lasts.

[Quickman]

Blaaaahhh...  Slept some more in an attempt to rest and feel better.  Then, I got up, ate some kimchi ramen to chase away this cold, and it worked for an hour or so.  Then, it wore off.  I've been slumped on the couch, watching videos, and generally feeling listless.

I had no Biology lab today so instead I decided to accompany my mom to CSN (The other local college. This one's a community college whereas my own is a full-fledged university.) She has a three hour art class so I hung out at the local library where I found that my holds timed out and I couldn't pick them up any more. Thankfully a few of the manga volumes I ordered were still there and I was also [tornado fang] YEAH ABLE TO FIND RED SEAS UNDER RED SKIES OMG YES GENTLEMEN BASTARDS BEST SERIES).

So yeah. Got home a few hours later and I've been reading Scott Lynch's genius since. Also got my mom a clock off of thisiswhyimbroke.com but it was one of their crappier products anyways. :/

LOCKE LAMORA U SO CLASSY THIEFMAN BRO

[Quickman]

Today, I mainly hung around the house, as the neighbor was burning brush and the smoke was drifting into the back yard, so hiking was out of the question.  The smoke was really thick, and my niece and I have asthma, and my sis-in-law is allergic to smoke. 

My half-brother dug out the ski equipment to see what needs replaced, who needs new boots, who needs new bindings, and what can be gotten rid of, as he's going to a ski swap tomorrow.  Well, my s-i-l had boots that were too big for her, but they fit me just fine.  There was a pair of snow blades that my nephew learned on and no one uses.  Kid sized, yes, but the boots fit.  If the boots fit, you can use them.

Thus, I am now a proud owner of old ski boots and snow blades.  I hope we get lots of snow this winter, as I plan to go cross-country with them.

I had relatively okay day today! I went to work and didn't have to work longer for once. I didn't really do anything but it wasn't a bad day.

That's great, Ruri-sama. I am happy for you.

I went to Sky Zone which is basically this giant trampoline place and it was fun and I may be on the verge of throwing up due to the heavy excercise and all the junk food I ate there but today I bought another album so morally I feel alright and I really should stop drinking coffee and writing run-on sentences when I have school in the morning kthxbye

So, story time!

Ringman and I were practicing with a set of nunchaku that he had got a while ago.  We were out walking around and passing them back and forth as we'd take a few minutes to walk and chuck.  After I had finished doing a few over-the-shoulder passes and practicing a flourish, Ringman took them and did a flourish... and the chucks broke.

The chain disconnected at the pivot joint and the handle went flying across the road!

We were determined to fix our broken nunchaku, and noticed that the joint was held together with ball bearings.  So, we decided to go into town to the nearest store that might possibly have ball bearings of that guage; Auto Zone.

We talk to the triple black belt at Auto Zone and he said we were better off buying new nunchaku, as he's had the same thing happen to him dozens of times.

Off we go to the nearest dojo, Dubb's Karate.  We just so happened to stop by when they were having a sale on supplies, so we look through their selection.  Ringman got a set of oak chucks and I got a set of bamboo.  They feel great and have a smooth swing.

Here's a pic of the broken nunchaku:


The sensei at Dubb's said that he had never, ever seen that happen to a set of chucks.

[Sakura Leic]

Wow that's an amazing way to break chucks.

Today tried going to work...only to discover my back left tire has finally breathed its last breath
RIP in pieces tire
SO...things to do this week:
New tire
Fill out more job applications
Cry in my cookie dough ice cream

This week already:

[Phi]

[Kit]

I'd knew there'd be a reason I'd like you
Also while crying in said ice cream I should watch a Mel Brooks or a Monty Python movie. That always cheers me up.

[Archer]

Ah... Kit, you reminded me that I need applying for jobs myself but really there's nothing around at the moment.

[Kit]

finding a new job sucks

[Archer]

It really does.

[Phi]

I tried to get a job right on my campus, but because my father's income is "too high" (I'm still dependent under his name), I'm not allowed to get a campus job.

So I'm still looking.

[Quickman]

Despite the fact that they're not hiring, I'm still going to try to get work at a local yearbook publisher's art department.  The worst that will happen will be that they'll say "no."

I'm hoping for at least a mention that they'll keep me in mind after seeing my portfolio.

Otherwise, my job options locally for using my talents range from painting Civil War scenes to painting local landmarks with Eldritch Abominations in them.  Basically, self-employment if I want to do art stuff.

Otherwise, there's Wal-mart.

Job hunting is seriously one of the worst things in the world. I need a new job and I've put it off for so long. I'm procrastinating due to my dislike of job hunting & interviews & all that [parasitic bomb].

As for Monty Python, this skit always puts me in a good mood.
