So I turn 25 like.... tomorrow.

Seriously, where does all the time go?

- C. R. Ingtail

May your various orifices go un-raped by demons and vampires today!

............

Unless you're into that kind of thing. In wish case I hope it does happen today. Kinda. <.<

Awkwaaaarrrddd....

- C. R. Ingtail

I really need to work on getting more stuff posted.

But with work getting busy again and me just not having the drive and energy to get stuff done, its kind of hard. Hell, even my DnD campaign is suffering due to my failing drive.

I would say I feel like I need a change, but that's already happened with me moving into an apartment with a friend. Though it does suck now not having any money to do stuff. Granted, with this check, I did it to myself. Stupid bar and its delicious Teriyaki wings and cold, cold $2 pints of beer. Also kind of hard to get commissions done with no money.

We'll see come next week what happens. My hours have shot through the roof with all the work we've been getting. Looking at a $600+ check. Which is good, cause my cell phone, credit card, XBL and GameStop PowerUp card all need to be paid/renewed.

Stay classy, Planet Earth.

Am I the prettiest at the store?



- C. R. Ingtail

Working title, as that seems a little awkward to type.

As the usual, I'll do this in list format, for I suck a formatting paragraphs.

-- Been in the new apartment for a few weeks now. Gas stove, stocked fridge/freezer, and my console hooked up to 15/3 fiber optics. Got the NetFlix and ESPN3 on stream, and might peek at the Hulu channel to see if anything good is in there.

-- Having to live on a budget. and budgetting for m is simply not spending money. That's not working so hot, since work is getting slow and my checks are getting smaller. The overtime I got for the July 4th weekend didn't cover the fact that I pretty much missed 1.5 days at work (freaking cable guy).

-- My room is small. I'm OK with this. Got the 360 set-up in the living room so I feel less like a hermit. At times at the 'rents house I wouldn't leave the room except for food and to work. Feels nice being able to watch TV on a sofa.

-- Also having a full kitchen and a roommate what has a similar sleep schedule as me makes it easy to cook what I want, when I want it. I might be able to even lose a little weight, as I can cook fresh and use only enough for me. Or at the least enough for two-three people and store leftovers.

-- Work is still a grind. Learned a little tidbit about a co-worker that no one really like that I wish I didn't learn: his pay rate. Even though he has (or claims to have) previous experience in a bakery, he works under me. I'm his manager, and he makes more than me. By a solid dollar. I'm sorry, but when you're on that 90 probation, you shouldn't get a full blown check. No wonder why I can't get a trucking raise I feel I deserve, cause my boss is just giving away money to compound that we're not getting enough in.

-- Back to happier notes. Now that i live very central to everything that I do, it should be easier for me to be social. One of my friends lives in the same complex, hobby zones are 5-10 away, and my job is 10-15 away. Saving money on gas is an immediate plus, considering that my Saturn is starting to show its age. <.<

That's pretty much all for now. Gotta get back in the kitchen. My beef 'ribs' won't cook themselves, an Aussie Rules football match isn't going to watch itself, and a six-pack of Heavy Seas Golden Ale ain't gonna drink itself. :D

Ask me shit on my Formspring. :3

Gonna be busy moving into my first apartment. So I'll be busy doing stuff like trying to pack, helping my roommate move in and doing some other yard work at home.

May or may not be active online. Especially I get into the place itself. Gonna have to play that part by ear.

:D

Was on the main page of FA and saw a piece of arting that caught my attention.

Looked it over, faved it and decided that I'm gonna check their gallery to see if they had anything I'd like.

Now, when I do this, I always go via their main page instead of straight to the gallery.

Have you ever gone through all that just to see on their front page that you're already watching said artist?

- C. R. Ingtail

I just made the mistake of watching two episodes of MLP: FiM and now I like that show.

- C. R. Ingtail

Been downloading some tunes and fixing tags on my Zune. Managed to find an unbugged copy of Glamour of the Kill's first full-length album The Summoning.

It's 1PM. Have you had your daily dose of Metalcore?

Every now and again, its a good idea to delete the dead (deleted) files from your favorites. Fun thing to do when you're bored and/or drunk.

QUICK TIPS!!!

-- Files that say 'No File' in a grey box have no thumbnail. Files that say 'thumbnail' in white text are deleted submissions.

-- When you delete a favorite, it'll bring you back to your first page of faves. Simply hit the back button on your browser to bring you back to the page you were just looking at.

Note to tip: Make sure you remember which delete button you just hit, else you'll cause either an error screen or delete something you'd like to keep.

-- When you hit all the dead faves, make sure you hit the 'Prev 48' button, then hit the 'Next 48' button. As the system bumps up files due to the number decrease, some of the dead files might make it to the page you're working on. This in theory does an extra-step Ctrl-F5 that won't ask for a data resend (which is pretty much faster, inho.)

Then laugh when you find some of that classic gold. Kinda like these: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2554821 -- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1192877 -- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1604599 -- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1615569

In the world couldn't get you off.



New fave band.

Car has been having mis-fire issues over the past few months. Only on idle. When I hit the gas, it runs like nothing is happening.

Replaced plugs and wires today, but the problem persists.

And when I pulled the PCV valve, its.... its pretty bad in the valve train area. Lots of yellow goop and moisture. I had this issue before when I tried to boy-racer it and use a breather on my PCV valve. Once the breather clogged it caused that moisture issue. I go back to the old method and it cleared up.

I want to blame the weather for this. My car doesn't like the cold. There's almost a 5 MPG drop once the weather drops consistently below 40. Gonna wait it out til next paycheck before I plot something else for a plan.

Geez, and I have to work on moving out. Last thing I need is my car giving the ghost.

- C. R. Ingtail

The site certainly feels faster. That's a good thing.

Also: I just now noticed I've been a member of this site since January 2nd 2007. I've been here for over 4 years. Four! Cheezus Crust, where has the time gone....

CD Baby is a cool site that supports independent bands and their music.

But they also send this message to me when I order from them.

Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved "Bon Voyage!" to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, February 3, 2011.
We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. In commemoration, we have placed your picture on our wall as "Customer of the Year." We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh...
We miss you already. We'll be right here at http://cdbaby.com/, patiently awaiting your return.

These guys are awesome.

I just caused one of my "friends" to be fired from our job.

He willingly and knowingly withheld information. Even though it was as simple as I forgot to pull something for the night's bake, he still didn't tell me when he noticed something was wrong.

He basically sabotaged the night. Even though it was a minor extent, he still did.

So that event, along with past actions, caused him to be terminated from his job.

And I don't feel guilty about it.

Things I got for Christmas this year:

-- Wawa gift card (exchanged w/ Mom for the Kohl's card I got)

-- Giant gift card

-- Games and Stuff (local card/hobby shop) gift card

-- iTunes gift card (which I will sell to my Dad)

-- Dungeons and Dragons: Dungeon Master's Guide v3.5 [Best Gift Award 2010]

-- 2 pairs of jeans w/ belts.

-- 'Puffy' jacket (to replace my well-worn Maryland hoodie)

-- Various other clothing items (mostly socks and related items)

-- 500GB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex [Second Best Gift 2010]

-- New bed set (Needed a new comforter)

The Ugh Gift: An apartment guide. Yes, my Mom actually gave me that for a gift. Along with it was a Certificate of Adulthood. I wish I was kidding about that. The plus is it grants me up to $3k towards security deposit, furniture and kitchen essentials. But you know... it kinda drives home the fact that they really want to out the house to some capacity. Frustration is large.

I know I need to do it. Might as well do it now, you know? Though I wanna get a place in Anne Arundel county. That's where I currently work and where pretty much all my friends live. If I can convince one of my friends that having a roommate with someone you can trust is a lot better than some of the situations he's already had to deal with via Craigslist won't be a bad idea. Trouble is is that you know... I like dudes. He doesn't have a problem with it, but would rather not potentially be exposed to it (if that makes sense. Whatever. Even though he has pretty eyes, he's not my type.)

Whateves. I got a year. I might skip going to a con this year in order to start saving.
