Etailer Casualties

Now that I have all the pieces I need for my bed after finding a new person with a box spring I set about dressing it.  I went to K-mart, found a style I wanted and picked up a fitted sheet, king pillow case, and artificial down mattress topper which totaled around $90.  Walking towards the [...]

Craigslist Sniping

I got the mattress I wanted but now sought a box spring and frame and I found a listing on Craigslist containing these items for $40.  I saw the listing had been up for only a few minutes and contacted the seller who immediately sent me a message back that the item had already been claimed [...]

First Time Camera Inspection

I’ve been playing email ping-pong with someone who wanted one of my camera lenses and I arranged to meet him at the Market East station at 11 AM in front of the Dunkin’ Donuts (that’s where the convention center guard is, how apropos).  Leading up to the sale, the buyer asked nearly a dozen questions and [...]

Pink Shoes

Someone had the idea of getting some people together to try to record the early history of my TF2 team and record our first impressions of some things and I had a wonderful exchange.

Other Dude: So what was it like meeting FlameDemon?
Me: He was… gayer than I thought he’d be.
Other Dude: What’s that mean?
Me: I’d seen [...]

Elements on Parade

Team Interrobang does periodic field trips where members rename themselves based on a theme and visit other servers to see how they do things.  I’ve been on a few but never before ran one until tonight where our theme was the elements and I picked thorium.  Not only does it have “Thor” in its name but [...]

Errors of Omission

Me: My car seems to be making a weird noise when it shifts into second.  Who should I have look at it?
Dad: Just leave it here, I’ll take a look, take my keys.
Me: Anything I should know about the GMC?
Dad: Nah.
*walk outside to GMC, see dad slam his screwdriver (drink not tool) onto table and run [...]

Bananas Foster

Whenever I go to buy something at a liquor store, something I’ve done less than 5 times, I feel like a lost child.  I walk to the store attendant, tug on their pant leg and say “I need booze”.  I always know nearly exactly what I need to the point where I should just have a [...]

EDH-atred

There’s a part of me with a reflexive hate of Elder Dragon Highlander because of the manner in which I was introduced to it.  There are some Magic Judges that I simply don’t get along with and one is the elder statemen of Magic for the south who, during our first meeting, I corrected him on [...]

New Sandals

I had my previous pair of sandals for at least six years which is a personal record for shoe ownership.  Most of my clothing has about 1/2 to a 1/3 of the lifetime of other people’s in that I don’t have any regular-wear clothing that’s older than 3 years mostly due to my chronic inability to [...]
