I like a meat feast
Final Fantasy XI has the worst update process in the history of videogames.
The amount of data downloading isn't actually that huge, but they make you download it as lots of tiny files in a sequence, so rather than one smooth download that would take an hour tops on an average connection, a new connection is created for each insignificant file. It's maddening, and makes the whole thing take 20x more time than it should.

Musha why are you (and me, for that matter) up so late?

I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Must have eventually nodded back off.
Edit: and I notice Gaf hasn't adjusted the time

At least you get to listen to Prelude while it updates.

How the hell do you forget your Dad's birthday dude?
My advice, call him and casually enquire if he received your card, and when he says no, rant about the bloody post office and how rubbish it is because you posted it Wednesday. Go out, buy a card and post it now.

"That wasn't YOU the operator connected me to yesterday? OH THOSE BASTARDS, WHO THE FUCK WAS I TALKING TO AND WISHING A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THEN?!?!?"

No. Do it the other way. Call him now and wish him happy birthday. That way you didn't forget his birthday, you just got the date wrong.
Besides, Dads are pretty forgiving about this sort of shit generally. Mostly because they know they are rubbish about remembering wedding anniversaries.

Singing Bump & Grind with your ex is an interesting way to spend Easter morning.

Pfft, you don't even KNOW Meadows.
Went to Blues Kitchen with friends & drank heavily whilst they were DJing and generally being wet blankets. So while we sat at the table and when they sorted shit out, was on GAF and Facebook.
Turned out to be a great night - got chatting to a Swedish girl after I fell down the stairs to the toilets and pretty much landed on her & bought her a drink to apologise then chain smoked about 4 of her cigarettes together followed by some truly terrible dancing.
Feeling fragile as fuck this morning, sitting in a house that can only be described as a wannabe crack-den, waiting for SOMEBODY to wake up. I might roll a spliff and see if it stirs anyone.
I was out yesterday evening with some friends, we went to a pub called The Elm Tree and drank some interesting beers. My favourite was this:
It has now, by the looks of it.

I'm a big fan of that myself. It's almost too nice to get drunk on.

What I always used to do in these circumstances is tidy up. Do the washing-up, find a hoover and clean around all the sleeping bodies, just generally be useful. Then when they wake up, demand breakfast.
I think the sight of food could finish me off right now. I already had to struggle through a taxi journey last night where I was throwing up in my mouth most of the way.

Yikes. Usually when I'm hungover I can eat like crazy. I still remember last time I was really sick I waited until the following evening to eat. I devoured like half of our kitchen.

Pm me if you want to chat/rant. I am the soul of discretion and give great advice.

That's because they were bad at being open. You don't have to be. Just find a friend who you can vent at every now and then. You must have one.
And if not, abuse Musha's offer.

You're also welcome to vent at me - always best to have at least one person you can say that shit to, man.
I used to bottle shit up all the time, but this year I've been trying a no-bullshit policy and just being open and honest to everyone. Working out so well for me - much happier, life opens up when you do.

Yeah, in that case you start talking to people who couldn't possibly be involved. My two go-tos are miles away from me. Nothing to worry about there.
You say that now, but imagine what it's like being 34 and having that problem and seeing all those 19 year olds swanning around with their girlfriends and whatnot.
On a completely unrelated topic, while I realise it's Easter Sunday, why the hell are most of the shops shut? The Bank Holiday is tomorrow, guys! As a result of which I've ordered a curry from a takeaway.

My recent go to for advice/rant has been J Tourettes. Not involved in any of my shit, doesn't judge, gives good honest advice. Guy is a legend.
You shouldn't bottle stuff up, it won't do any good.

Just bottle it up. See what happens. Could be funny.

Have you met Mungo? Is he as cool as I'd hope?

Unfortunately not, he usually lives abroad so I've not got the chance. Saw him play a couple of years back though and he was awesome.
Talking from experience, its never pretty, but sometimes can lead to hilarity, depending on what is being bottled. The ribbing from friends is frustratingly hilarious for me, anyway.
But I cut that shit out now, no more bottlin'. Gotta have outlets, just, always make sure they're removed from the situation - makes things 10x cleaner.

As with every easter I forgot all about it and I have absolutely no Easter eggs. I can feel a tear coming to my eye...
Where would be the best place a sad chocolate orphan could find an easter egg on easter sunday?

University campus shops are still open thank god. Toying with the idea of going on a creme egg run, help me wade through this quantum mechanics.

Go the shops tomorrow. Buy on heavy discount, and smile.
Is this offer open to anyone? I'd be interested in taking you up on that, alternative viewpoints can be useful.

Of course it is. I'm not BritGaf Mum for nothing!
