What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I'd do anything to gain some of Racketman's powers.

But what if it was a Sharp X-1 with the integrated PC Engine? What then?!

No! Don't make me choose!

I really don't post vids or get too carried away. However, my daughter showed me this one after work today. Absolutely stunning (takes about 4.5 minutes...)

Immediately made me think of the movie Hugo. Surprised to see that this little guy is for real.

You left off cib WonderMega!

Yeah, but I already have that, thanks to you and Hobie. So there's no need for its acquisition to hypothetically influence my response to being propositioned.

I would probably turn down a Pico, also, though.

You have great taste, pierrot...If I were a younger man, I would have such a crush on Aubrey Plaza.

Jinx & Kit update:

Jinx's new resume looks awesome because of Luke working his magic. (Thanks a million for that, your input is greatly appreciated!) He found an opening with the public school system back home for a "Computer Paraprofessional Technician" and we have two references that work/have worked with the system for a number of years. One was teacher of the year for two years running, the other has been with the school board for over 10 years. I'm pretty optimistic about this one.

My face is swollen to hell. Not having insurance is really putting a bump in getting 'emergency' medical care. I'm still worried about when I went to the E.R. about billing, but they haven't called me back yet. I am in contact with my dentist and a medical school about dealing with the issues, but I am on a time limit. If this thing in my face does anything, It can be life threatening within minutes because of it's location. They've got me on two different pain medicines and strong antibiotics, and I have been in a haze for the last few days.

School have been running alright, with an exception of one Professor. He posted the whole course, but no due dates and no schedule to complete it. Another student and I both have emailed him (I did a week and a half ago, and again a few days ago) and he hasn't responded. The introduction paper to the online courses says to allow 24 hours for the professor to respond. I took screen shots and I am completing the work on the same schedule as the other classes, but the lack of contact is getting on my nerves. After the medical fiasco is over, I am calling the school and asking them what is going on.

edit: One of his course requirements is to participate in the public discussion forum. He needs to open it for us to use it. Guess what's not open. This is what I was referring to when I was talking about the screen shots.


The kid used her mega bloks to build something, and called it "Mega Man" then proceeded to hum the theme song from Mega Man 2.

Just to vent... I was looking at getting another 5870 to crossfire and because I hit the wrong button on ebay, I got a mark against my record of "non payment". Ridiculous.

[mjmjr25]

Maybe post in the smile / ticked thread? Or, random thoughts? Or, tweeter?

[Sano]

Oh, yeah... sorry, I was in the moment of annoyance so I forgot about those threads.

How can a "non payment" mark be made by you "hitting the wrong button" on eBay? Did you pay or not? What "button" says "nevermind, I won't pay for this"?
