What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Yeah I know what you're talking about, seen it online never in person. It's the same as the handheld and keychain versions though unlike Popeye which is uniquely not like the handheld. There was also a kaboom wannabe too called Mario's Bombs Away as well in a red tabletop too.

DK Jr was a blast, the Nintendo one is butt ugly in this brown shell, but the Coleco one tries to mimic the arcade kind of decently with an orange frame, colorful joystick area graphics, and then above/below the screen is a bar kind of like the arcade marquee/framing and the side art too on both sides attempting the same as well. It stands out by far the best of those style tabletops since it was the only one Coleco did in that style using the Nintendo molding. While similar it's also not like the DK Jr handheld either.

Smiled - Smoked a turkey Saturday for the derby this weekend. During which my wife came out and asked if I wanted to go buy a fridge from a neighbor. So we get over there and grab the fridge (three year old Samsung that the older couple downgraded from).

Ticked - Cant get the fridge up the stairs to the front landing, let alone up the rest of the flight of stairs indoors. So now I have to call a moving company to move the fridge up stairs and the old one down. I will just deal with it after the party.

Smile: I've been pretty much OoC on here a while because.... I bought a new house, and my wife is pregnant with our future son (although right now he's more of an alien peanut parasite).

Frown: So tired. Houses are hard. Also, sleep is hard. Also, it appears pregnancy is hard. I'm glad I don't have to do that part.

Meh: I have to buy a lawnmower and cordless electrics are expensive. I do not want to maintain a gas-powered one. My lawn isn't that huge or hard to deal with. Did I mention houses are hard?

Go gas powered I've never heard anything to great about electric mowers aside from ones you really have to pay out the ASS for . The only thing extra you have to do is keep mixed gas around which beats the hell out of having to charge and replace batteries.

If it's a small yard just go for a manual mower.

The latest from Consumer Reports and Sweet Home indicate there are indeed good battery powered models that charge in minimal time. Yes, they are a bit pricey.

I'd kinda like to, but the grass is already just a touch tall for those. I will apparently need something around for when I let things get out of hand.

Freaking out over one of my finals. Normally in this situation, I'd let it pass, but because it is a major class, its a bit more pressing. I hoped I would never be risking a C in a major class, but here I am. Of course, the way the set up the final opt out essentially screws you if you don't make the cut off for an A pre-final. A 540 is an A pre-final (which I can't reach even with a perfect score on this last quiz before the final) and starting as a C with final. The final is 150 pts, cumulative, with a 675 making an A, 600 making a B. If I work hard enough, I'm pretty sure I can make the B, but depending on this last quiz I may not be able to mathematically make an A at all...

My advisors and various out-of-school mentors better be right about GPA not affecting the job opportunities in my field too much. With how busy school keeps me, I don't have time to take internships or jobs to fill out experience...

Hah yeah the quote, but still love that image. Wish I had thought of that. I've got enough Indy Lego and spares around here to do that. I've got that big temple escape set, the motorcycle one, the venice canals, and then the rare brickmaster green jeep set from crystal skull. I still want that one with the 2 planes from last crusade, only set from that movie I lack.

No body gives a fuck about your GPA except other schools. Unless you're planning to go straight into grad school, it doesn't matter, and even if you are, your GRE score is way more important than your GPA. It's mainly just for bragging rights (like being able to say I graduated Magna Cum Laude, for example).

We get fussed at by the assistant principal in charge of the freshman academy for wanting to eat our lunch in the teacher's lounge because we're "short staffed" for lunch duty (we're contractually obligated to be on campus at least 8 hours per day but technically paid for 7.5 hours, implying 30 minutes for lunch). Then we see her spending lunch sitting in the freshman counselor's office talking the whole time. All of us freshmen teachers are getting seriously sick of this shit.
