Thinking about that, Lemon, makes me feel happy.

[RedKing]

Not to harsh your buzz, but you just haven't looked hard enough at the worst parts. Accounts of the Congolese civil war.

EDIT: To compensate for being a downer, I should say that I spent yesterday afternoon flying a kite. Cheap $3 vinyl-and-balsa kite, and I actually managed to run out the line all the way to the end (about 150 ft) First time I've ever done that. Even managed to save it after it was eaten by a tree, with no damage.

[Flying Dice]

Ooh, managing to get a kite out to the end of the string is just a great feeling, isn't it? :3

[FearfulJesuit]

Nothing brightens your day like a friend promising to get you a copy of an overtly racist 19th-century phrenology textbook for your birthday.

It really is. Of course, my next thought was, "I should get some more string."

One of the best setups I've seen was a guy using a small sled kite on about 400ft of string on a fishing pole. If he had good wind, he'd just push the button down and that sucker could zoom out. When it came time to reel it in, he could handcrank it down with no fuss and no tangles. He won 1st prize at the Kite Festival that year for highest kite. I think this is a hobby I could get into...

It's raining today, not crappy rain that doesn't get you wet but just makes everything so freaking humid it's like breathing a jungle. No, this was proper rain, and I got wet, and I freaking loved running in the rain, hell yeah!

One of the bands I manage is starting to actually listen to me a bit and lo and behold they're making money. Seeing as I get paid 10%, this means I actually make some small bit too:

"Listen guys, I don't care.... I don't care that showing up early to set up is a pain, do it. It makes you sound better. [Name] get off your dead ass before 5PM. I know you're playing at night. 8 to 10 hours sleep should be enough.... O really.... That's original. Yes, I have a middle finger too, it's right here and it loves you.... Screw you all, keep receipts of everything and the next time the jackasses screw up your amps, document everything and I'll sue 'em. Yes, that means you have to keep equipment logs so I have something to work with, don't care you think you're too fucking cool to do it, somebody do it and I'm lookin' at you.... Document everything so I can use it as leverage for pay negotiations next time. They don't do something they're supposed to do when you play? You can either bitch about it and get nothing for it, or you can take pictures, write it down and I can bitch about it and get something for it. Fuck you all, listen to me, listen to me, you check IDs before you do shit at all and I don't give a damn how cute you think she is. The cuter she is the more you check her ID and I have shown you how to spot the fakes. [Name], [name], look into my eyes, I will kick you square in the nuts. I will, again.... It will hurt worse this time. It will."

Money.... They don't like me and they think I'm an asshole but they're making it in this shit economy.

[Rose]

Truean: Professional bitcher.

[Shinotsa]

Truean: Professional Legendary +5 bitcher.

Ftfy. The difference is when something actually comes of it.

[Darvi]

Hey my eye stopped figuratively bleeding. Guess I can take of these shades now.

[Pnx]

They still keep you on as an agent, maybe that's a sign that they appreciate you deep down?

Or maybe they're just waiting for an agent to show up who's all sugar coated smiles... damn it, you're supposed to be the pessimist, not me.


On another note, a tree has blown down over the driveway... that means I'm going to have to go through the pain in the ass effort of cutting it up.

[Frumple]

On another note, a tree has blown down over the driveway... that means I've got an excuse to chop up a tree and then possibly set the remains on fire.

Happy thread fix is go~

Axe/(chain)saw time is happy fun time. Usually quite nice to have a solid excuse to break something.

[Darvi]

Especially if fire's involved. !!Garden!!ing's my favourite household jobs.

[Solifuge]

Why have I never thought of applying to write content for web-based publications before? I can do it remotely from wherever I am with relation to their organization, and there are tons of companies out there... and I mean literal tons. There are enough out there that the hard drives acting as servers for their websites weigh thousands of pounds.

Job get? Who knows, but after compiling some of my writings into blurbs that I've fired off to demonstrate how awesome and hireable I am, I must say I feel pretty awesome and hireable. I think I could really dig this sort of work.

My brother actually got a job offer to write articles for a Guild Wars 2 website thanks to his work running a website for a somewhat popular mud.

I hope this works out for you Soli!
