How's your Saturday going?

Today was ridiculously good.

Played Dark Souls (first ever playthrough although I have seen multiple speedruns). I started playing right before Sen's Fortress. I started today at like level 40-something. Plowed through Sen's without too much trouble, then beat the Iron Golem. Then Anor Lando. Did not have much trouble at all and even got past the Silver Knight with the bow on the infamous ledge in one try.

Once inside Anor Lando, I explored it thoroughly and got to the Ornstein and Smough fight. Beat them on my first shot with the assistance of another player and Solaire. It was one of the top 10 moments I've ever been through in a game. The music, the stakes, the everything.

I went up the elevator to tits and accepted her covenant. Gonna side with her for the rest of the game because tits. From there I headed to the forest and easily defeated the Butterfly. Next up was Sif who proved a worthy adversary. After a few tries I got the hang of it and dealt with him. Seeing him start to limp was heartbreaking...what a battle.

So now I'm trying to get my Claymore to +15. I'm farming the two giants right outside of tits. On one farming run I actually got two Titanite Chunks. I just need 3 more and it will be +14! What a marvelous, productive day in the world of Dark Souls. The 4 Lords and Gwyn don't stand a chance. Doesn't hurt that I have Stone Armor + the Havel ring. I'm level 60-something now.

So then I walk over to my grandma's and she tells me that her and my late grandpa had saved up thousands of dollars in a bank account for me. She tells me I can only get the money if I graduate my current technical school with high grades and multiple certifications. The money is intended to get me to move out of my current town, which I do not particularly like. This really helps me out; I was being pressured to get a second job this summer to save up but it looks like if I do get that second job it will be purely for spending money.

Walked back home and talked to my dad who casually said he and another officer arrested one of the city's most wanted this past week. Looked it up in the news and lo and behold the article was there. I was pretty proud.

The only negative thing about today is that as a result of all the pizza I ate I feel a little fat. I'm too tired to go running right now too. According to the scale I'm still 150 pounds which isn't too bad but I will need to eat better for the rest of the week. No burgers and 3 or 4 cardio workouts.

The only thing that could've made today better would've been being able to share it with a special girl, but hell, I'll take Dark Souls, pizza, and an amazing family. And Neogaf.
 
woke up, went to get KFC (boneless) and on the way home there was a HUGE storm forming. apparently there was a "supercell" or whatever overhead. i went outside to some scary Twister-like wind noises going on as well. it's passed now and i'm just enjoying the weather, but pretty scary stuff. i was ready to accept death for a minute there because i live in a shitty trailer and no hiding from a tornado here.
 
Husband is out of town... I teach and we have state testing next week... I literally spent the whole day watching movies and TV. I have watched Safety Not Guaranteed, What to Expect, and about 1/2 of the episodes of Scandal on Hulu.
 
I played Jedi Academy. The day is now over and I my long work week begins tomorrow. I also watched The Master and The Burbs.

Also booked a flight to visit a friend later this month.
 
Grandmother passed away early in the morning.

Was taking Mom over to the Funeral Home to be there with her siblings for arrangements, and my car starts acting up. Make it to an auto shop and it's coming up with transmission codes. So me and Mom are late over to the funeral home, while we waited on other family members who were on their way over, to pick us up. Won't know the full extent of work to be done on my car till Monday.

And now have a toothache in a molar.

Just a fantastic day.
 
Went with my wife out of town to an organic grocery to buy some almonds and figs in bulk. We ended up skipping lunch for an early dinner at our favorite seafood joint. It added a couple of hours to the drive time but totally worth it.
Whole belly clams!

Now we're home, enjoying the nice evening weather on the front porch. I'll probably end up playing some Dark Arisen, maybe a little Soul Sacrifice. Good day, thanks for asking!
 
Pretty terrible, I had a revelation recently and "dumped" almost all my real life friends except for one guy who I can consider a good friend, but not the best. It kinda sucks knowing that you spent years befriending people and then you realize they are just shitty people and that you've wasted your time.

My only true friend in this world is my brother and he's in california as i rot in chicago. Anyway thanks for being a toilet for my thoughts, feels good to let things off my chest
 
Was a great day. Slept in. Got up and had some coffee. Updated my Galaxy Note to jelly bean. Fixed my mother in law's weed eater that she had busted. Quickly used that to trim around my house. Took a nice shower. Walked across the street to the neighbors and fixed their outlook account for the husband's job. Took the kids to a creek near our house. Decided to take them to the river next. Caught crayfish and made a rock bridge across another creek. Then went to the park so my daughter could ride the merry go round. Came home and made the kids some dinner. Daughter came in upset because she overheard her older brother's friend tell him that "she was annoying." She had tear tracks. So we watched Hook in her room. Now I'm waiting for the wife to get out of work and bring home some gelato.
 
had date with this chick who I don't care for but since her dads pretty rich I went with. put good impression on the dad so my goal was met. now I gotta remain friends with rich dude and dump his daughter at the same time

overall pretty awesome
 
Pretty damn good, actually. I've moved on from my ex girlfriend and started seeing another girl. We went to the beach and then made out.

I did this about eight years ago and man, do things improve. Knew a large group of people and most turned out to be leeches and thieves. Yay!
 
Played games all day. Deus Ex: HR, Battleblock Theater and the Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC.

Starting to feel comatose... but must keep playing.
 
Woke up, ate breakfast, studied for physics, went for a run and some cardio, showered, ground out some Disgaea 3 vita levels, went out for lunch for an early mother's day with the grandma since our cousins are out of town next week.

Now, watching Star Wars for a May 4th party. Not too terrible of a day.
 
My saturday was weird. I didn't feel like doing anything and I didn't. Even internet got boring at one point. I had to force myself to watch a movie and I'm glad I did. I'm not even feeling depressed or anything, it was just one of those days..
 
My Saturday night is going great. Just met up with a local rapper (Blizack of the Shadow Mob) to get his new album. I brought all of my click CDs for him to sign them to me. During the hangout he asked me how I got into the mob! Makes me think that I'm clicked up with his rap group :blessed:

His wife took a picture of us.. I'll post it later tonight (or some other time.)
 
Not bad! Woke up around 10am and played some Dota 2, and then some SMITE with friends. Took a break from the vidya games and worked out for a while, and then did yoga. Now I'm all showered up and my girlfriend will be here any minute, joining my family for some really good Italian food from a local restaurant.
 
Had a great Saturday - Slept in, went to the gym, hit the nespresso store, had a few pints at my favourite pub and then saw Black Sabbath.

Today will be yard work, report writing and hopefully plowing through the rest of Blood Dragon
 
Had work until 4 today but have been relaxing and reading since and have tomorrow off. The weather's really nice out so I went for a walk by the lake and around the neighborhood but really have nothing to do other than sit in my apartment. Not having a social life sure gets boring.

How do you cope? How do you find new friends? The only thing I can think of is to up and leave this shit hole and just start anew somewhere different, but what if i'm wrong? I spent years finding these friends and it's only been a week since this whole ordeal, and I feel pretty lost. I try to make myself busy and keep my mind off it but in the end I just need company
 
WHY. Miserable experience.


Today sucked. I'm at home on vacation, so I've been sleeping in, but today was my sisters first communion so I had to wake up unecesarily early at like 7:30am. Drive 30 minutes to the "good church" and spent like 3 hours there because the mass has done in English and polish. I'm not religious so I'm miserable at church. Then a reception after but all my family and friends my age are still at school so it was just youngins there and I have a tough time interacting with everyone else because they're all old and speak polish which I'm not that great in.

Now I'm back at home, some family upstairs talking and catching up, I'm downstairs watching the Bruins Leafs game.

Go Boston!

aaaaaand now the day is ruined again.

On to game 3....
 
lol.

I wasn't stood up though. Plenty of notice.

Until next time...
So what are you doing instead? I just put a huge pork shoulder butt in the slow cooker. And burnt two batches of bread because I was browsing gaf while trying to make bread crumbs for my Mac and cheese,
 
Since it was beautiful over here for the first time in months I went to the mall with some friends. Prom is coming up so my friend had to find him a vest. I just wish my friend wasn't such a showoff in public then maybe it would've been a fun day at the mall. You know the friend I'm talking about. The kind of friend that's super cool when he's just with friends or its just you 2, but when he's in public or a stranger is their he becomes completely someone different to impress them. For example putting his arm over me in the mall or yelling out everything he say to get people's attention.

So overall good day, especially since I got Injustice for PS3 yesterday
 
My Saturday has just begun. I only work an hour or two each weekday, and the weekend is my real working time.

Woke up at 8am after staying up watching 'Curb your enthusiasm' till 2am. That show is great! Can't believe I've left it this long to watch it.

Vowed to never stay up late again before a workday. Know deep down this wont happen.

Get to work a 9am, it's just across the road from my pad, so a short 3 minute walk.

Demo class at 9:30

For those who don't know anything about the life of an ESL teacher in Asia, demo classes suck. It's basically a sales exercise for the school to find new students. We have to ham it up and act like fuckwits and the kids are usually terrified/bored or demonic.

Meanwhile, the parents sit at the back of the room picking their nose and playing with their phones. The more pro active ones shout out words in Chinese and scold their 4 year old kids for being 'useless'. It's pretty fucked up.

And on the other side of the plate glass window is the sales team that eat if they get a sale. So they are standing out their biting their nails and looking grim, watching what we do.

So - that just finished and now I'm waiting to do a 60 minute class with some toddlers that are pretty good overall.

Later, 2 more demo classes plus 2 x 30 minute classes.

Then ill go home, watch more curb your enthusiasm and look forward to my day off on Monday
 
I had a breakfast of bacon, eggs, english muffin, fruit with cottage cheese. Did some dishes. Helped my mother investigate one of the broken doorknobs in the house. Watched the Daily Show and Community. Went on a nice walk while it was still bright and sunny (but a little bit cooler than I'd prefer).

Just got back from a dinner to celebrate my birthday. Six of my friends were there. Went to the Cheesecake Factory and had an excellent chicken parmesan sandwhich and had a fun time catching up with some of my friends whom I haven't seen in a while.

Afterwards I did some late night food shopping (figured I would while I was out) and got some good deals at Target and Stop & Shop for some of the basic things I need around the house.

It was quite a solid day.
 
kinda shitty. our family desperately needs a second tv. it's a pain in the ass having to deal with a fucking commotion whenever I want to play some xbox for 30 mins during my break after studying for 4 hours straight. plus everyone is in a bad mood today.
 
I went hiking which was fun but now I'm back home and bored. Especially since my main computer needs a wifi adapter and now I'm stuck using this little laptop.
 
Good day over all. I got up around 10, made some sausage and eggs, and watched some tv.

After that I went to the DMV to handle some car (bought a new car, sold the old one), and then hit the gym after. After that I came home and did some cleaning and played some MOTHER FUCKING FAR CRY 3 BLOOD DRAGON, DICK SHIT! Took a nap, woke up and met up for a date. We went bowling, had a nice dinner out, and then made out in my car for a bit. Had a good time... but I'm not digging her as much as the girl from Friday.

Still, it was a fun day.

Dick shit.
 
Went to work. Hung out with friends at a comic book shop for Free Comic Book day. Went over friends parent's house for homecooked hamburgers and hot dogs. Hilariously played Tekken Tag 2 with a friend (honestly if you just play solo and not Tag this game is honestly much more fun than Tekken 6 easily), chatted with friends and now I'm home.

Also found out that the girl I was supposed to go on a date with is at a play with a guy she recently went out with. So yeah, critical burn. But hey, that's life.
 
worked out this morning set a PR, came home, made lunch, trimmed a maple tree, watered my lawn, mowed, assembled a cart for the mower, assembled a new tv stand, watered the garden, planted another rhododendron, hung 2 new pictures, made dinner, chillin
