Smile, finally got the new T molding I got for Christmas on my multicade

Frown, also been trying to hook up more tv's in the basement to digital cable for the NCAA tournament. Not having much luck. Miss the days of just being able to plug in a tv to the wall.

That sucks about the cable, King, but that multicade is looking nice!

Even after two days, and several hours wasted. I still can't seem to get PSO on the Dreamcast connected to ANYTHING.

Arent the PSO servers down? Like for good? I could be wrong but it's a very old game, I don't think Sega even runs the servers for it anymore.

Interesting Factoid: a friend of mine worked for the company that did Sega.net's and Dreamcast's tech support/ISP, etc. He told me that at one point the authentication 'server' for PSO/Sega.net was a laptop, lol.
PSO is still online via Sylverant server. I've played online a month or so ago.

There's still 6 or so DC games online in some fashion.

:D : I get to deposit my check today. Money! Yay!

:cry: : Taxes! Boo!

:( : Unfortunately, I'm miserable. I've got some itchy little rash behind my ears and it kept me awake all night. I don't think I got even 2 hours worth of sleep. I feel like I may pass out at any moment.

And whatever is behind my ears strongly reminds me of whatever it was I had a few months ago. Except, this time, there's a large bump on one of my ears that strongly resembles a bug bite. So methinks I'm having a poor reaction to whatever it was that bit me (little bastard). Thankfully, it doesn't seem as bad as last time AND I managed to find what was left of those anti-itch pills the doctor prescribed for me before going to work. They blissfully work like a charm. I can even pick up a refill before August, which I may have filled, just in case some little spider comes along and decides to nibble on my toes during the night.

Can't tell if smile or ticked: I did some heavy drinking last night and woke up at my exes. No idea why or how I got here. Good times.

Smile: the dogs have missed me. They're cute, I woke up to them basically fighting over who gets to snuggle closest to me.

Ticked: I'm going to be really hung over in a few hours cuz I'm still really drunk.

Regardless of how you feel, this post got a smile out of me.

Good luck!

Well throw me on a beach and call me Jerry. I didn't know that.


Smile: (well, these are more for yesterday) I got 3 packages from Amazon yesterday. A cymbal carry case for my, er.. cymbals - and it's nicer than I thought. I also got two Transformers from the Fall of Cybertron line of toys. Starscream (I have like a million Starscream variants, I love him so much) and a really cool looking Grimlock!

Kinda frown: Grimlock doesn't transform as cool as I'd hoped. He's kind of cheaply made and quite literally hollow. His legs and chest are hollow, it's kind of odd. As a T-Rex Grim looks... ok, but as bot he looks like a mo-fo'ing badass!

He's the first Grimlock I've ever owned. I had an original Slag (or 'Slug' from FoC) but I lost him ages ago and I'll likely never be able to throw money at a Masterpiece Grimlock. He's not as cool to transform as I'd hoped, but he's still wicked cool.

edit: OOH! I forgot another Smile for yesterday. I was at a local Half Price Books and found Season 2 of Star Trek TNG on BluRay for $40! WOO!

We've all been there man. I spent the better half of my evenings one week trying to figure out how to get on with my Gamecube. If I had a BBA for DC I'd be on in a heartbeat doing a Racketboy Forest run.
