I'm usually working, and I just got done. I am kinda tempted to go out for free pancakes though.

I will slap you if you didn't go out for these free pancakes. Never say no to pancakes. Especially free ones.

Also that waffle thread is making me super hungry. And I simply must try this recipe one day http://chicachocolatina.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/churro-waffles.html
Sadly I have done very little in the way of baking or cooking lately. No wait I tell a lie. We made marshmallows on Sunday. They were tasty.

Oh I got the pancakes, no worries. Also, holy crap at those churro waffles, makes me want to buy a waffle iron.

Roommate fainted, woke up, and started puking everywhere. Turns out he popped a couple Norcos on an empty stomach. He seems okay now, keeping an eye on him.

Don't fuck around with prescription drugs, kids.

It will pick up again. Perhaps people are doing other things. I haven't been posting much lately, but I may start posting a lot more soon. Depends...

I have currently been playing Ni no Kuni though, so some of my spare time has been spent on that.

I heard that the game has good combat and horrible everything else.

It's a shame, the Mercenaries mode looks pretty fun, and an improvement over the previous ones.

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Buying my waffle iron was a godsend

Waffles are so delicious, but unhealthy :(
I'm considering that device that lets you eat as much as you want, because it drains it out through a hole in your belly.

haha you said you left your card in the store, unless im shopping with another card (plot thickens).

That went over my head. lol

I thought you was having a conversation with an imaginary user. I've got it back now though.

I've done it a few times you know. I put it in that card reader thing, put my pin in, get my shopping and forget to take it out of the card reader.

Dont feel bad i forgot one time to take the money out of the ATM, i rushed back when i realized my own stupidity but it was too late, I only hope that money got well spent as a consolation.

You know, I have done that few times as well. lol

There was a good reason for it though. Some shops in the UK have like a mini ATM inside the store. You get charged £1.99 to use these ATM machines as well. In this one store money has a habit of getting caught in the machine. So you take your money thinking you have it all and go. I remember checking my money once and realising I was short £20. I didn't know what the fuck had happened to it. Whether I had somehow lost it, or whether the machine hadn't give me the right amount of money.

Anyway, one week I decided to count it on the spot and it turned out I was missing money. I bent down to check inside the machine and noticed a couple of notes caught in it. lol

I realised that it must have happened to me a few times. Some lucky bastard has probably gone to that machine and found it has given them more than they wanted.

40 euros thats a lot of money to lose haha.

Leadbelly is good to know that im not alone.

Well... Sort of not alone. lol

It wasn't that I forgot the money I just drawn out of an ATM per se, it was more the machine not functioning right. still, I definitely forgot my card.
 
Get into work today, expecting more of the chaos of our boss not giving us enough time.

NOPE. Turns out I got moved this morning to a completely different team.

On the negative side, my old team was awesome and the project, despite having nowhere near enough time was actually designed well, unlike the old versions.

On the plus side, MY GOD I missed a massive bullet there. Jesus christ.

Also I love this feeling of finding a new band that's not really similar to anything you normally listen to and just listening to them constantly.
 
I say we move this thread into OT regular for a day, to attract some more victims.

Oh god, this "How to build a Bionic man" documentary on Channel 4 right now is awesome.
I want a bionic limb!

Not looking forward to this weekend. After I finish work today I have to travel 5 hours to watch a band play. Then tomorrow travel about 2 hours to go to a wedding. Then drive into Adelaide for another show. Then after that drive an hour to get home. I'm gonna hate myself and everything around me.

On the plus side I'll be dressed up pretty so lots of photos for me.

The beauty of living in a small country is nothing is ever really that far away. The time it takes to drive across America almost seems incomprehensible to me. I'm so used to travel taking hours rather than days in my own country. In Europe it only takes hours to drive across whole countries.

Edit: Just put things into perspective. You said it will take you 5 hours to watch your band.

It takes 5 hours 10 minutes to go from London to Paris. A distance of 282.2 mi

That is what google says it will take by car. Not exactly sure how it is worked out. It only takes 2 hours 15 minutes by train.

Man I wish I was 5 hours from Paris. That really weirds me out. I often forget how small some countries are.

5 hours for me is driving from the Barossa Valley to mt gambier. Then tomorrow about 2 hours to lobethal for the wedding. And about an hour or so into Adelaide. And I live about an hour out of Adelaide. All in the same state. You'd have to drive in circles or something to equal that haha

DisneyWorld, Universal, and Tampa are all within four/five hours of me. Seriously the only upside to living in Florida. Otherwise, getting out of the damn state is eternal.

I don't know. Having warm weather seems pretty valuable right now.

Only good thing about where I used to live is that New York was 15 minutes away, Boston was around 4 hours, Washington DC around 3 maybe.

Now it's more like Sao Paulo is 5 Hours, Rio is around 8, and Florianopolis is 2 I think. Not bad all around. Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay are pretty close too. Probably all within a day's drive I'd say.

The only reason it's cold up there is because I brought the warm weather down to Miami with me. Sorry guys. :(

You should come back to NYC to visit and you can kick my ass with your fancy Pokemon deck! :D Or drive to Colombia. :p

Hurricanes, mosquitoes, embarrassing politics on a national stage, old people (not the cool kind), humidity that will just straight up choke you, and worst of all it's touching Alabama.
No mention of bad drivers?

Also no seasons. :c

I think it takes less than 12 hours to drive from the top to the bottom of this tiny ass country. It sure is convenient though, I love that I can take a bus and get to Seoul in just an hour and half on a whim.

That's always a great feeling, found 2 bands this week actually, Man With a Mission and in a very LTTP sense, My Bloody Valentine.
My god, did you eschew the entire shoegazing genre for all those years then? As a new listener, do you prefer Loveless or their new LP?
