I'll send you two.
I found an extra SMB/Duck Hunt cart the other day, that makes it 5.
Sure, but I'm working on something for the Miserable Podcast of Secrets, with me on it, you can be sure it will be extra miserable.Quote:

When I left the McDonald's he sent me a text message saying he was moving next to the McDonald's and was going to eat there every day. I continued being lost and ended up at a middle school that somehow was the key to me getting back to Jose Reyes' house and Type Ryan was one of the teachers there. I woke up.
Never dream about me again.
I'm happy because I finally get to play Mario Kart 7. And I'm back on playing Rock Band playing the Pro Keys and Drums, enjoying it, relaxing and having fun.
Rock Band drums are so fun. Did you get the Fancy Fucker kit, or are you using the pack-in drums?
Josh, are you ever going to send me that fancy beer you can't drink?
Which one are we talking about?
You never told me a specific one. You just said you had something that was coming of age and you couldn't drink it. If I was wrong then disregard.
I don't know if it can be stopped now.Quote:

Pick one and ship it, imo.
I have a National Bohemian in the can from 2004 in case you're feeling froggy.
My asshole cannot withstand the shit that will produce.
I keep meaning to slip into the band fridge, so one of the 88mph guys will drink it, but I always forget. :(
I finished my second biggest final project tonight. It's the beginning of an app. I had to create the interface entirely in raw javascript (no jQuery or help from existing libraries) and import an XML database in to it. It turned out PIXEL PERFECT to how I had it designed -- which is one of the reasons I wanted to learn development in the first place.
Feels fucking great to be down to the last 2 assignments I have to do (all 3 are due this Friday). My other projects are a side scroller mini-game where you have to bring an ogre/troll food in the right order or it eats you instead and 2 small internet videos a minute in length each ("webisodes"). Should be done the latter by tomorrow night and be free to build my sidescroller (the rest of it anyway) in the remaining four days.
Got a nice client job lined up for Saturday/Sunday right after that, too. Nice to be making some big dough and actually have a small income going in to Christmas.
Still trying to master Jesus Christ Pose on expert while singing back-ups.Quote:

Why do gays always position ad boss? With their fuzzy mood.
Been having a pretty chill time since classes ended. Been catching up on Adventure time and cleaning. Oh, and I found 3D dot heroes at Kmart for 15. Thats been pretty fun so far. Reminds me a lot of the first first Zelda.
Also got my box of old electronics magazines in the mail. Some of them go back to 39. Crazy stuff. Blatant sex/racism in ads. Pretty cool to see what has changed and what hasn't. They actually knew about a lot of stuff we are doing now, as far back as the mid 50s to early 60s.
I met a nudist in Alaska that seems real cool.

Sex with girl or pointless trip.
I guess that it was a pointless trip then!
:-(
You're cooking the girl right now, aren't you? I bet the thing you have for her is a cleaver and some A-1 sauce.Quote:

I can barely stand up, and can't play my guitar for shit, or breathe deep enough to sing more than a couple words at a time... but we did some recording tests on our cassette 8-track tonight and it sounds so cool we aren't even gonna bother with going to the studio... means we have an extra $1000-ish to spend on the neat-o stuff for our backers. I'm breaking the rules here... but we are doing five or six songs on a 12" record at 45rpm now. We will probably have enough left over to put a 7" in there too... but don't quote me on that last part. This is with shitty microphones haphazardly scattered around the drums, no EQ, no mixing, and monitoring back on my old PA speaker from 1995. It can only get better once we pretend to give a little more of a shit.
I'm excited. This is gonna be a lot of fun.
P.S. We lost a guitar player from this project, but gained a incredibly positive outlook... so I think it's gonna be cool.
Got a lovely invite from a new friend in Alaska to stay in his village rent free. Own room, and fresh salmon.
You'll own the room?
I think he'll have his own room.
Sounds like a shit deal to me.
Someone super amazing just backed the $500 "drink whiskey with Josh" joke option we put in there to be assholes. I'm not naming names... but I love you. You've no idea how awesome that was to do. This gives us the money to add another AWESOME level of cool shit for all our backers. Socialism ahoy!
eh. I can take an internship in France; free room and board, but no pay. Its a choice. I don't think Korian's deal is an internship though.
you just hurry up and get better, so we can get trashed here soon!
Mine's strictly pleasure. Only 250 people live there and he has a plane and a fishing boat!
Whiskey party in the Spring imo. I'll get my Ramones cover band booked in Cleveland, and we'll get down.
I'm still BLOWN AWAY by this btw. For real.
Back at the end of July, one of the literary agents I'd been communicating with requested my entire manuscript and an exclusive 6-8 week reading period. Right around my birthday, I had a meeting at the agency to discuss the story after they'd read it; I felt it went pretty well but then I never heard anything back and they didn't return any calls. So I gave up and fired off to some more agencies.
FedEx came by today with a package from the agency. They, of course, returned the manuscript. Funny thing is that they had requested it be sent in un-bound but returned it bound. The "life is good" part comes about because they would like to meet again to talk about a contract.
Time to find a lawyer! I had one in California but she obviously can't be in the room with me in New York. :)
I'm making progress with my poetry, a writer who is about to be published said my work is good enough to be printed.
Let me know when this happens.Quote:

I like to mix it with GOOD COMPANY AND THE OHIO EVENING AIR. How convenient for me.
Planning to go to a shooting range this weekend, hyped! Haven't fired a rifle since visiting Florida a couple years ago, my dad's Questionably Rich Columbian Neighbor With Strange Scars brought over his full auto AK-47 and there was laughing and shooting and drinking. Ahhh, Florida.
Florida is an uglier state than post cards would have you believe.
Not that swell times are not to be had.
Shut the fuck up, Mississippi.
Mississippi, looking better than Florida since the dawn of time.
Our people are dumber though. So 1 step forward and 50 steps back, and all that.
"come look at nature, ignore the people"
I was just given the last week of December off. I look forward to getting paid while I lounge around and play video games.
In Florida, you are never more than an hour and a half away from a coastline. A lot of people appreciate that.Quote:

Can't wait for the 'cheeks reply.
So, Hugh Acheson just gave me his cell number and said he'd love to come eat at The Owl when we get open.
Last year I was watching dude compete in Top Chef Masters.
Life's weird.
Well that's pretty damned excellent.
He was doing a book signing at the beer store we're working with. They said for us to show up early and hang out so, we got there and chatted with him for a while about cooking, he signed our book and dropped me his personal card. Said he has family in town and to let him know when we're opening - that he'd make a trip.
I feel like I've Gone Legit.
Also: Super nice guy.
That's awesome dude, congrats!
Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Can't wait to hopefully see your joint in person!
I found a "lost" Quarantines live show that was recorded really well, and we played really well. Sweet! Gonna throw it up on Bandcamp as soon as I get the OK.
Nice!
Been going to bed at 4:00 am this week! Definitely shouldn't have picked a game for my ActionScript 3 final! Lesson learned!
5:27 am tonight! Done my shit though. Looks pretty slick even though I jettisoned every bell and whistle I had planned for my side scroller! Despite me poorly managing my time for the last week it feels fan-fucking-tastic to finally be done the mountain of work they gave us.
There is nothing positive about Mississippi. Absolutely nothing.
Racist!
Us whites can never catch a break!
Do it man. Some time away from ze Eagles would do you good.Quote:

I've done it a few times - it's harder to do up here in Canada because everyone is afraid and boring. My favorite thing to fire is still an old Winchester or a browning.
I need to get around to buying a gun.
Why?
Sure.
Kind of want one. Go target shooting with friends and my dad. Use the back end of it to educate women about being mouthy. You know, the basics.Quote:

OR 99 OF THEM??
That a thing?
I was looking at one of my Harvey Kurtzman books last night and I realized that I have the same desk as he did now.
It's nice to see someone get their comeuppance hard as hell a year later.
As I mentioned in the haul thread, I got a beat up freebie Neo Geo in the mail yesterday. I put a unibios in it, fixed the RGB outputs (it was a model with shitty RGB) and swapped cases with my component modded system. Now I finally, FINALLY have a Neo Geo with crystal clear video and audio that works on my main TV once again. It's funny that the beater's video quality looks quite a bit better than the hideously expensive component modded system.
I should have never gotten rid of that system Melf sold me a few years back, it would have saved me a lot of grief and money.
Don't let them know where they are, and put a lock on trigger and the box you keep ammo in.Quote:

I also have a second interview at a place tomorrow. The first interview went EXTREMELY well so I'm pumped for this one. Game face: ON.
Since I got the freebie Neo modded and working well, I decided that I would see if I could do anything to make the hideously expensive component modded Neo working better. The problem was annoying vertical lines when playing through component due to some kind of interference. Many Neos do this through their RGB connections, so many would consider it "normal."
So after studying the way the guy did the mod for a few minutes I think I found the issue, and redo some of the mod. Now, I have no vertical lines! It's making me think, if this was made by one of the Neo experts, who sells modded consoles for hundreds and hundreds of dollars and is universally praised as being awesome, and yet I go in and find a flaw, fix it, and tidy up some of the soldering, maybe I should be doing this shit for a living.
Do it. Become free.
Console modders are like stick builders; they don't necessarily have any qualifications to do the job, but as long as they know more than the people buying their shit, they can make a go of it.Quote:

The part that really sucked was getting maybe 1 1/2 total sleep due to a combo of that, then it wearing off and me trying to sleep only to be awakened by neighbors fighting so loud that myself and two other neighbors called the cops and then I couldn't sleep due to the commotion and bright blue lights shining through every window. Still, everything went well, and I guess they put me under a REALLY deep sleep because I feel pretty energetic for someone with 2 1/2 hours of total sleep for the past day.
So when are you going blind? Why hasn't it happened yet?
Because Jemery lives on TNL time where it's perpetually 2002.
Because Jemery's invincible.Quote:
