Title: How is your day going?
Post by: Kitsunexus on September 13, 2007, 07:07:11 PM
Mine is going pretty awesome. ^_^

First of all, I thought I'd share this picture, because the title of this DVD is unintentionally hilarious for the like-minded  (a.k.a. gutter-minded):

I must say, I was expecting a different cover. And no, I didn't buy that, I bought the American Godzilla. :P


The other thing that made my day rock is my job. I'm a customer service rep for T-Mobile, and in our call center, we're split into teams. My team is #1, and I'm #1 on the team.
Also, because I did EXCEPTIONAL on a call today, I get a $50 Amazon gift certificate. So yeah, it rocks to be me. ^_^


How did your day go?

My day was great... got out of work early.  Now I'm getting ready to drink beer and play video games. (http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/3939/pintpv9.gif)

It's Friday. The [work] week will be over in T-minus 2 hours.

That's when the party begins.

And like WoodyXP, I too see beer and video games in my future.

So far, so good! I got an extra few hours of sleep this morning!

I made some brownies using this recipe: http://southernfood.about.com/od/brownies/r/bln561.htm

Except I omitted the nuts, substituted carob powder for the cocoa powder, and substituted 1/2 cup brown sugar for the 1 cup sugar.

I overcooked the butter/carob mixture to start with, so it was a bit clumpy... and the brownies came out a bit dry overall but it was my first attempt. The key is that all the dishes are washed so my fiance Phoebe won't give me heck when she gets home  :mrgreen:

I did some stuff on gamefaqs... I submitted release data for the turbografx 16 and all the japanese releases (surprised nobody has done that in all these years)

I also got some more box shots submitted to gamefaqs...

I'm about to wind down with some Blazing Lazers before I go to sleep (I work graveyard)

I have a lot of chores to do in the next few hours, so this day might end on a shitty note.

But, the good news is that I finally installed a roof rack and luggage carrier on our family vehicle (we're driving up to Massachusettes tomorrow).

It's now the middle of the night, and the beer and video games I foresaw definitely played a big part in my evening. I'm such a psychic!

I wasn't able to really tell if it was a good day or not. I guess it was ok, but that's a boring response.

Mine's going pretty decent so far.  Check back later to see how it all turned out!

That's it? "Pretty good?"

You had the anticipation gripping me all day and all you have to say is "pretty good?"

I've been looking at shape shifter on tzd.com for about 6 years but have never pulled the trigger...

I tried baking the brownies again yesterday, and I'm trying them right now. They came out much better on my second attempt!

I forgot to add it my previous post that I'm using whole wheat flour...

Anyway, I reduced the cooking time by about 5 minutes, since a coworker of mine told me that I probably overcooked them. I also was less aggressive while melting the butter and mixing it with the carob powder. The first time, I overcooked the butter/carob mixture a bit. This time, I turned off the heat on the stove as the butter melted, and then mixed in the carob powde with no heat on the stove.

 :clap: A very good meal today, yes indeed!  :clap:

Ok I'll chime in...

Today I got fed up with my email machine here at work as it turns off now like 4 times a day for no reason....so spent most of my morning configuring a replacement machine.  Lunch was left over pasta my wife made for me a few days ago (still good...).  Spent rest of afternoon installing Visual Studio SP1 on my mail machine while I surfed the forums on my other test machine.  Going to go home now and meet up with some friends for a few hours, then maybe if I get home early enough start filming some PcenginefxTV footage...

Overall, my days are pretty non-eventful.

My day was going PRETTY good until just now. My mother said she was gonna get me a Turbo Express to help make up for some money she had borrowed from me, but then I check and the site raised the price up to $249.99! What the hell..... And then when I told her that, she's like "That's too much. You need to wait." WHY ME???!!!
Title: Re: How is your day going?
Post by: Pcenginefx on September 19, 2007, 01:57:24 PM
You better find some way to get her to buy it for you - the price probably won't go back down!

You might as well buy it. It's a fun game, but difficult.

Dammit, got home late last night from hanging out with my friends that I was too tired to do anything else.  Tonight my wife and I really need to clean the house, then I need to do some video editing...as well as do *something* with the site... man I've been slacking since I started working again!

Just got home from a Night Mission(game huntin').  Didn't find anything worth buying.  Now I'm on my first beer... bouncing back and forth between here and Neo-geo.com.  Good times.  I gotta pound my beers quick and get to bed though.. I'm going to escorting an athlete at the Special Olympics tomorrow morning.  Wish my athlete some luck!!  :pray:  :clap:

You're in Japan right? So there are game shops that are actually open at night?

Good luck to your athlete!!  :clap:

No but it could make you a Communist...

Is Vietnam still a Communist country? I never hear anything about Vietnam, which I find odd since the USA was involved in such a protracted war with them...  :?:

Not really.  Free Market domino effect from China.
