    QUICK!!!!

    I'm going to take a shower now....but afterwards: should I drink some coffee and work? I feel kinda like working on art stuff.

    OR!

    Should I say "fuck it" and try to go to sleep? My first class is at 5pm tomorrow...I like to give myself a minimum of 4 hours beforehand to do homeworks. I might not be able to sleep immediately, though.

    Should I just work until I feel tired enough to sleep? Screw the coffee? Yes? COOL. Glad we had this talk, guys, thanks! :D

    Shower yourself in coffee, work until class, slam your work down on the teacher's desk yelling, "DONE, MOTHERFUCKER!" then lay down on someone's workspace and go to sleep, snoring loudly and smelling like a truck stop.

    In Sydney a homeless guy came up and asked for a smoke.

    I said "Sure thing dude! In fact, have three!"

    And then he was like "What about some spare change?"

    And I was all "I only have notes."

    And he said "How about a fiver?"

    At which point I said "I think three smokes is pretty good...?"

    He walked off, and I marveled at his lack of gratitude. Then I ate a huge steak my chef had freshly prepared.

    Scanner on its way yeeeee

    I'm really psyched after listening to a podcast with this artist talking about how although he had to force himself to practice originally, he soon began to enjoy it so much that it became natural. Which sounds awesome. So if I just break through the laziness barrier it should be good... plus every time I try to play tf2 my router resets, which is a bit of a push towards doing something else :P

    Yeah, I think most have come by so sort of buss transit and some flew here. They are actually in more debt because of the trip here. If I've understood correctly this is a problem all over Europe, not just Finland. The people claim to travel to get a job but end up being beggars because without language or other skills it's really hard to get any kind of job.

    Reminds me of the Dailyshow that was on the other day. Ricky Gervais was the guest... I recommend watching that interview :)

    Everyone should be watching the animated version of the Ricky Gervais Show they're doing for HBO.

    Is it unedited from the original podcasts?

    It's uncensored but they seem to be sort of taking "best of" segments and putting them into half hour segments.

    Some weeks ago, the pump and pipe that moves water from the lake to my sector broke. I didn't have running water for almost a week. I had to shower with a bucket of poolwater that I had to warm in the microwave.

    I stank that week, despite the fact that I showered once a day.

    God I fucking hate G&T. Why do I evern go there? They're the worst bunch of sheep, recursively and endlessly ejaculating about the fucking greatness of only three things: Planescape: Torment, Deus Ex, and the Dreamcast. All three of these were old when I got here in 2003 and they show no sign of slowing down or going away. It's like G&T is the NMA for those three things.

    I just had my final physical yesterday, I hadn't been to the doctor in like 3 years so I laid all my problems out on the table and ended up getting like 15 xrays and a ton of other exams lined up. Apparently four years as a Marine grunt puts a lot of wear and tear on your body. >_>

    Not really, in Iraq though there's no "work hours". You just do what you have to, usually its a patrol schedule. There's 3, 8 hour blocks throughout a day. One squad will be on patrol, the other one on stand by for emergencies, and one on rest. You just do that for 7 months. That's also with like 80 lbs of shit on your back and shoulders in 120 weather.

    ok, so is 40 pounds of that an air conditioner, because how do you not get instant heatstroke?

    You just get used to it... and drink a lot of water. We train for it too, every unit going to Iraq is required to do "Mojave Viper," which is 5 weeks of training in the Mojave desert which is usually around 100-110. But yeah it is really hot, you do get used to it though.

    Edit:

    I've had the luxury of feeling Iraq in all of it's fucked up seasons. It goes from ball-scorchingly hot in the summer to fucking omg cold in the winter. I actually got to see it snow in Iraq.

    Well that article is referencing one specific type of game, the social game, which is what it described as basically facebook games. So among facebook games the average demographic is 43 year old women or something. Which..is still surprising to me because most of the stupid facebook game invite shit I receive is from younger women.

    See why I hate G&T? I bet if I cornered everyone and beat them until they told the truth, I'd find out that not a single goddamn one of them had actually played all the way through Deus Ex.

    Graphically it wasn't much even when it was released, even the game mechanics were a little lame but it had a thick story line and it was the first time RPG elements were plugged into an FPS.
