Well, that tells me that Ms. Carlyle (or is it Mrs.?) has more going on than bubblegum pop, good for her.

Yeah, she had a pretty good solo career post Go Go's

We Got The Beat.

Took a decent shock today at work. I really shouldn't have assumed that simply because there was a cutoff switch on the surge protector that it actually worked. How stupid was that?

Apparently not stupid enough to get you killed.

Yet.

Me and electricity are old friends, although this one could have been deadly if I were using a two hands.

PS: NEVER WORK WITH ELECTRICITY WITH TWO HANDS.

A stopped heart is nobody's friend.

I am not digging the side effects of Prednisone. It's like someone decided to spike my cocaine with crystal meth.

On the other hand, I have had plenty of energy to get shit done...

Looks like I'll be in Rochester tomorrow, and I've got an apartment to look at on Wednesday already. Wee.

had to do a whole bunch of writeups for christianoid books

but its loads of fun since wrieting in christianoid dialogue and rhetoric is easy

and reading all of the foolish christianoid shits takes me back to the good old days

i just ate most of an egg salad sandwich

except there were pieces of shell in it

really just ruins the whole mood



anyway today i sonned a bunch of the opposition on twitter

they keep saying highway 63 isn't being twinned, and they're hoping to make it common knowledge by repetition

so i called them out and asked where all these cheques are coming from and what my trucks are doing up on 63 if not twinning the damn thing

RTs from the minister of transportation, his staff, other MLAs, and it's still going

the drivers are sending me a couple pictures of the work being done, i'm going to post them up and stop this bullshit

it bothers me A) because that highway is a bitch to build, it's on muskeg, not good clay like most of the central/south of the province is built on, B) they spit on the people up there actually working the hazardous job twinning the damn thing, C) because they can't even go look for themselves before parroting the liars

Hopefully this helps shut them up over "you're not twinning 63" and they can stick to complaints about "not fast enough" which are easier to dismiss.

I really wish the opposition would stop taking pages out of Karl Rove's book and the GOP playbook. We don't need that bullshit up here.

tried out some practice tests for australian citizenship

got a 17 out of 20 : :

Man, I am really torn up over City of Heroes suddenly getting the axe. It's the first real MMO I played, the only MMO I continued to play, and it's introduced me to some incredible online and IRL friends over the past few years. Genuinely enriching people, all playing this one game together a few times a week as a unifying thread.

As recently as this morning, they were promoting some new material for the next update. Then suddenly, short blog post on all their social media about how NCSoft has laid off the entire dev team. The servers are set to shut down November 30th.

That sucks dude. Apparently the Biotard devs don't have high hopes for the survival of SW: TOR even after FTP takes effect. Not a huge surprise since everything in the game that isn't SP is total garbage.

Are they talking about shutting down the servers yet? There's still stuff I wanna do in the game, but I'm not going back until FTP kicks in.

No. It was the dev team lead basically saying he doesn't have high hopes that FTP will work. There's nothing about shutting servers down or anything. I imagine they will give it at least 6 months for FTP to grab a toehold before making any decisions.

Do you play TOR at all?

Basically all I want to do is finish the Republic single player storylines, the space missions, (not interested in Empire at all) and the Flashpoints. Maybe if I can join a decent sized guild I'll do the operations, but my friends have told me that they actually aren't that fun.

I did. I'm waiting for FTP to start to finish my stories.

what server? Maybe we can group up for flashpoints or something.

I was on Veeboo Lunx, but all my characters got transferred to Droogas Pleasure Barge.

Man I remember how Chardz was talking about how he can't respect facts people after he lost a bunch of weight, and while I have been a little overweight I've been cutting it down for a while now, and I realized today I don't like looking at fat people. Like before it didn't seem to be something I even noticed but now I see the fat guy at McDs ordering 2 double big macs and supersized coke and I'm like "where do you put all that goddamn this person is unpleasant to look at"

I don't know if I've become a vain judgmental person or if it's fair to judge.

Oh you're on the opposite coast from me. I started on Khoonda Militia, but moved to Jedi Covenant during the big merge.

NCSoft, huh ? I suppose this must have something to do with the release of Guild War 2 and it monopolizing all of the company's resources.

From what I hear, coming from people playing it, GW2 is currently being victim of its own success, as the servers are almost all full and have difficulty maintaining the load - plus a boatload of release-day bugs/patches which are annoying the playerbase.


When you say "laid-off", do you mean back to the unemployement bureau, or are they simply re-assigned to another department internally ?

The first one.
