I ordered the 360 version instead of the PC version by accident.
So, while I returned it and ordered a PC replacement, and I'm still gonna get my pre-order bonuses, I am gonna have to wait two fucking weeks before I get it.
I did the reverse when me2 came out, such a pain in the ass.

i read wiki's synopsis of chinatown. i still don't understand the plot.
To continue growing, LA needs water. To get it, movers and shakers in the city are swindling and intimidating farmers in the nearby valleys out of their water rights with the eventual aim of constructing a huge reservoir dam. To earn public support for the dam, they are faking a drought, secretly dumping thousands of gallons of fresh drinkable water into the sea every night while telling people to cut back on their usage and asking everyone to vote yes on a bond issue to raise millions of dollars for the city to build the dam and buy the land it will be situated on.
The water isn't actually that needed, though. What the rich dudes are actually doing is secretly buying up cheap land in the desert with the idea of then building the dam and using some of the water to irrigate that cheap land, turning it into farming land that they can sell for a huge profit.
The city water commissioner opposes the dam. It's not needed and it's going to be built in a stupid place that will make it liable to collapse.
To shut him up, the villains hire a private detective to unwittingly help them frame the guy for infidelity. That way, when he turns up dead from drowning, it will seem like suicide instead of murder.
pretty much everything except the last paragraph really happened

Having lost my original iphone earplugs I'm now using some old in-ear plugs. I have no idea why people love these so much. They are unclean, uncomfortable and every single time the cable touches something it makes a loud sound due to vibrations. Basically can't move around when using these.

@organichu: well, in my defense, I already have an iPhone. AND modules, as a rule, sound lame on their own. That's why modular systems cost so much, because they either do nothing or very little on their own, but when you combine a few they get better and better.

I went to bed at 11 thinking I was being smart but 3 hours of sleep in the middle of the night is shitty.
gonna try and power through, only one class today and there's nothing due... but it's also not for over 12 hours ^^
gym and maybe clothes shopping to keep my busy once it gets to Real Life Hours.

The other ear bud type don't fit in my ears. They just fall out, I seem to have odd ears that are missing some vital component.

yeah mojo I can't keep them in my ears no matter how much fiddling I do. no brand has worked.
really just as well, I don't like them anyway. too little movement to go from good sound to really bad sound in my experience. much prefer real headphones.

Get some ones that aren't shitty.
No idea how you'd get around the vibration thing etc. These are by all means "good" in the sense that they cost too much.
Amanda Clayton hit it big playing the Michigan Lottery. Like many winners, she used her $1 million prize to buy a new house.
But the Lincoln Park, Michigan, resident is receiving money in another form -- $200 a month in state food assistance.
After taking a lump sum and paying taxes, the unemployed woman said she ended up with just more than $500,000.
Asked if she had the right to the public assistance money, Clayton answered, "I kind of do. I have no income, and I have bills to pay. I have two houses."
Clayton told WDIV she would continue using the food-assistance card until it is cut off. "It's hard. I am struggling."
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

Also, I went to another country for the day yesterday. And I did it in a suit. Because I am that type of commuting gentleman.
How was the pub? I got delayed at work, then forgot. Then I came home wanting to go to the pub, then felt sad when I remembered I could have pubbed
There was no ale, but a wide array of continental lagers. My friend chose poorly.
That said, it was two minutes from St. Pancreas and didn't cost the earth, so I'm not too sad. Shame you didn't make it. You could have met a very tall man who works for the BBC and a shorter chap who doesn't but is very nice regardless.

yeah but do you have a suit made of 250 one dollar bills
No but I already have a few modules + case + power and all that. And the maths is an "envelope generator" in the most basic sense, but it can add, subtract, scale, or invert an incoming signal, in addition to being able to add function. So while it really doesn't do much on it's own, even though it can be configured to self-oscillate and generate a signal, it becomes IMMENSELY powerful at sculpting signals. So you can feed it something that sounds cool, for instance, and then take that one cool sound and generate a crazy complex rhythm you would never have thought of.
And even the stuff you process on the modular lots of times don't sound good on their own, but when you add them in the mix to your stereotypical synth sounds that I can get from my other synths, they make that "woah what's that?!" that really gives a song character. And not in the skrillex just abusing LFO's on Massive, but actual new synthetic sounds from the likes of Bucchla and Serge who are in a completely different sonic-synthetic environment.
I agree -- from the outside, it seems silly. But I realize now that the paths in normal subtractive synthesis have been blazed, and the stuff that spins my head right now are the dudes out of Berlin who are either doing brilliant sound design or modular investigations.

there are a couple of ideological paths out of this anger
there is "so NOBODY should get food stamps", which is all-too-common and, I think we can agree, not terribly fruitful
there's the comparatively intrusive approach of having the government define Acceptable Lifestyle Choices - for instance, having only one house below whatever size in a suitably unattractive neighborhood in order to be deserving of welfare. See threads suggesting whether food stamps should buy X, etc., for an example of where this merry garden path leads
there's the massively intrusive approach of monetizing your house(s) too, which is less micromanaging but entails your government occasionally seizing your house when you make unlucky choices
