The General Thread

I'm going to a Winnipeg Jets game today. Even better, we got the tickets for free.
 
After reading reviews of the Game of Thrones series, I'm going to call it Game of Boners. Hur hur hur.

But seriously, it does sound like soft core porn trying too hard to be epic like Lord of the Rings. I'm not even sure if I want to start the series. Not because of the sensuality and violence (although the marrying off of pubescent girls is icky), but because it sounds like George R.R. Martin is going to pull a Robert Jordan (that is, drop dead and leave his work unfinished until the publisher designates another author to continue the crap).

I'm already invested in the Outlander series (another doorstop saga that's been going on for over twenty years now); I don't need to get invested in something that might possibly never be officially finished.
 
yeah, there is a lot of soft core porn stuff going on in there, I admit, but what is different from porn is that it actually has fleshed out characters and a good plot so even if all the sex wasn't mentioned in that much detail like it was in the book, it still would be able to hold its own.

George RR Martin seems to be fairly healthy, though I guess he does carry some weight which might make some concerned on how it will affect his health. I think with the series, he might become more motivated to try to release the last two books sooner.
 
Hey, speaking of Game of Thrones, we heard a cover of the theme song on the way back from San Antonio because my dad is a snob and refuses to listen to any of the local stations in town, so he brought a Sirius/XM thingy to put in the car.

Anyways, like I said, I'm back for tonight. Although I'm just gonna watch Jojo, go to bed, and tomorrow, I'm going to go out and eat with my grandparents for Easter, and then go to my mom's friend's ranch. I'm probably going Vegan after all of this because holy fuck, I ate so much food in San Antonio. We went to this German restaurant for lunch, and I got myself a sampler with three different types of sausage (bratwurst, cheddarwurst, and German knockwurst), two types of cheeses, pickles, potato pancakes, and two glasses of root beer. Then we went to the mall at the River Walk and gorged ourselves on candy. I got all the gummy candies, and ate them all in one sitting. I also tried those new chicken & waffles flavored potato chips. Everyone in the car hated them, but I didn't mind them. They tasted like maple syrup and waffle batter.

Oh, and the reason I was in San Antonio was because my mom's school was doing a robotics thing, and she's a coach for her school's team. She's in charge of middle schoolers, but the high school kids had a more entertaining event. There were so many nerds there, I just wanted to beat all of them up for being so nerdy, but I knew I couldn't because I'm 18 now. The saddest, yet most heartwarming story is how a Mexican team had their bus robbed by a cartel and had all their money and robots taken from them. So all the schools chipped in and got them enough money to help them rebuild all of their robots. Everyone was cheering for them at the competition, and they got to wave a huge Mexican flag around as opposed to their team's flag. Another thing I learned is that downtown San Antonio has the shittiest drivers, but walking around there is a whole lot of fun.

Also, I forgot to take my meds this morning because I forgot them at home. I'm functioning quite well without them today (well, better than on a day when I've been off of them for 4 days).
 
Facebook is down... anyone know why?

I bet Chris-chan is crapping his briefs as we speak, because he can't use his window to the world. (which means I can't keep tabs on lolcows, the FB page of THe GAMe PLACe, ED or the few people I have added on there. I might make a CWCki Forums-only account if the site ever comes back, but I'm not likely to take on 2 accounts.

Works fine for me.
 
Not for me, still getting 118 timeout errors and DNS lookup failures for the past hour or so, works great on my other connection (the Cricket Wireless one that still has a Denver IP address assigned to it)
 
Okay, here's the Surtur signal.

Fuck yea.

Also, just got back from my first date in awhile. Went amazing.
 
Awesome, have any plans yet on what to do for your second date?

THIRD DATE?????!!!!
 
yeah, speaking of Surtur, I just saw a Surtur look alike at Easter mass. It was really odd... Especially since he isn't even Catholic.

Maybe he'll let her fondle his beard.

Oh she already fondled the beard. Little does she know shes now pregnant.
 
I've been really emotional this weekend and told myself I wouldn't cry because I'd be going out a lot and I didn't want people to see I've been crying. Welp, I just wound up crying. In public. In front of my grandfather. And all of his friends. Because of my sister and brother. Well, at least I didn't cry in front of the sheriff or God forbid the congressman should he show up to this function.
 
Answer me this Surtur, is the beard the source of yur firey powers?
 
Turns out almost everyone bailed on this whole ranch idea except for my mom's friend, so we're on this big empty strip of land by ourselves. Nice.
