    blegh. I'm all chest-congested with a cough and the rare wheeze. Is this a cold? I never get sick like this.

    It hasn't gotten particularly bad, so I'm guessing it's not anything serious like bronchitis or pneumonia. I hopes. I just have no idea if there was a "trigger" (allergies or inhaler) or if I really did just pick up a random bad cold.

    bronchitis isn't all that bad. I mean, personal experience suggests that having undiagnosed bronchitis for two months is the world's fastest, most reliable way to develop a wicked six pack.

    haha...yeah I'm on my way :P

    Today I randomly felt pretty ill....but after some food and sleep and liquids, I now feel better. Still have the cough though. Didn't seem like the two were related. :\

    No idea what season is in there ND, but here is allergies season, and I behave accordingly, sneezing and constantly holding a hankerchief since 6 am.... and on the way to work, Im in the cab, watery eyes, still holding a hankerchief to my nose, trying not to sneeze every 5 seconds, and the guy goes "beautiful morning, eh? its going to be sunny today". And all I hope is that some volcano explodes and the sky is covered with ashes and all vegetables DIE, so I can breathe again.

    I think its funny that Gabe complains about how small Harry Potter world is.

    Its not like they created an entire theme park around the book, they just modified a section of old Islands of Adventures park and kept everything else! I remember going there twice when I was younger; the hulk gamma crusher coaster was off the chain.

    Yeah I dunno what's up with my sicknesses lately. I never get sick! I'll be okay though. :3

    The fact that there's so little activity around here in the weekends has made me realize how boring I must be as a person. What the fuck can you people do all weekend? I
    'm just sitting here waiting for the next person to post while you're all probably out high on markers and riding speedboats through rings of flames...
    Also, get well ND.
    that was an order

    For some reason the 13 hour flight back from Australia is a million times more exhausting than the 16 hour flight to.

    I'm not sure what it is either. I had the same problem flying in the Air Force. And even for that matter, it was written in the regs that we got extra post mission rest for the number of time zones we crossed going west.

    It would've been so awesome!

  • Man, I never realize just how much I swear in regular conversation until somebody brings their kid into work, and suddenly I have to be make a point to be hyper-aware of it so I don't get the parent all up in my grill for accidentally teaching their little darling that "THE FUCK IS UP, BITCHEZZZ??" is an acceptable form of greeting.

    I distinctly remember a time when I was at SCAD, sitting outside a coffee shop with a friend of mine, and I said a swear in one of my sentences. My friend "shushed" me, pointing to a young kid nearby.

    I promptly realized my mistake and said, "oh, fuck!" and then, "oh shit!"

    My brain is a winner, for sure! Good job, brain.

    I remember once, you made a voice over for a speed painting and yo swore like a sailor.

    I don't think I swear at all. "Ass" is the most youll get out off me.

  • m3nacem3nace Registered User regular
    Woah relax there MT, no need to go hardcore.
    Personally I only go to such lengths as "Jesus titty-fucking Christ," "Well fuck me in the butt and call me Lenny," and the most horrible of all "gee whiz."
    Just kidding, I usually don't swear in English. Direct translations would be stuff like "cancer eat and rot me" and "satan eat and prod me," and so on and so forth. How about dutch Spex? I hear it's all butts and buttocks in your language (at least the sayings I've heard of).

    I'm having to watch my shit at home now, my daughter is parroting everything I say at the moment.
    I dropped an exacerbated "fuuuuuck" the other day, then I hear her little voice pipe back "fuuuuuuuck"

    sup monkey box.

    I put a stew on and bought a shit ton of canned goods like an old lady, but I also bought a bunch of poptarts and ramen, like a college kid. You'd think I was preparing for a snow storm and not a one day rain event

  • Make Pop-Tart stew for the ew.

  • IrukaIruka Registered User, Moderator mod
    College student stew

    Amp or Red Bull broth
    2x packs of Pop Tarts, Diced
    1/2 box of lucky charms
    2 of those bags of nub pretzles from your vending machine
    3x Ramen noodles, cooked and strained
    2x 5 hour energy shots
    3x packs Spicy beef jerky


    Directions:

    1: Combine ingredients in large pot and stir, leaving the energy shots for last

    2: add 5 hour energy to taste, Pillsbury cinnabuns are a wonderful side for this

    3: Vomit.

    That's a hell of a Mulligan Stew.

  • MustangMustang Arbiter of Unpopular Opinions Registered User regular
    I haven't eaten a pop tart since I was teenager, I'm not even sure if they still sell them here anymore.
    Probably set sail back to the US with Dr. Pepper.

    I've still got a crock pot lying around here somewhere...a stew is a good idea!

    Theres a hurricane.

    I feel so awful because I kind of wish I was over there to witness it firsthand. I really love storms and freak weather and in a strange way the tension before an event like that makes me feel cozy. It tickles some kind of animal instinct I have.

    But I hope everybody's okay and that it's just being overhyped. At least a few of you live around that area, right? Stay safe.

    e: Also I am so relaxed right now. Scalp massage with sweet almond oil+ 1-2 drops of rosemary essential oil. TRY IT.

    Looks like the deathtoll is at 65 when last reported. Most of it coming from Haiti. And they're evacuating 375,000 people from NYC... :(

  • MagicToasterMagicToaster JapanRegistered User regular
    Well, I just got off the phone with a job in Japan. Apparently, I don't have enough experience to land that position. Crap. I wish they would have told me before I rushed ordered my passport.

    I'm not sure if the hurricane is going to live up to the hype surrounding it. People are freaking the hell out, but everything I've heard regarding the weather statistics seems like it's not going to be any worse than Irene was. I saw an article that said it's estimated there will be over 1 BILLION dollars in damages, which I think is absolutely, utterly extreme. I'm not really understanding [what the weather statistics are telling me], vs. [the amount of craziness people are showing over it (at least in regards to the Northeast)].

    But I have no idea what will happen, obviously. I have enough food to last me a few days (not the healthiest eating after the first two days, but I'll live)...but there's also a Stop & Shop around the corner from me. I feel especially not worried, compared to what the media is going on about. Should I? :\

    All I bought in preparation was a single flashlight (I realized I didn't have one, anyway)...an extra candle...and a single gallon of water. Last year in Irene I was out of power for 3 days in my old place, but I think that only especially sucked because my car had also broken down the day before and I had no transportation to get any additional food or be social or anything...and we had a ceramic-topped stove that was electric, so I couldn't cook anything. It was bread and butter and rage for like three days.

    Well, it is the lowest pressure storm in history. It's air circulation is half the size of the USA. And 24hours out it has water levels almost as high as Irene.
    You are in for a long wet cat1 hurricane.

    I'd like to see it shrink up to Betsy's size and obliterate something like a spirit bomb....
    Hurricanes do that you know.
    ...spirit bomb shit at random.

    I should know. I'm from new Orleans.

  • FugitiveFugitive Registered User regular
    A lot of it is blown out of proportion. It's supposed to be more powerful than The Perfect Storm, but from my understanding a lot of the damage from that storm really came from the fact that a hurricane from a couple months prior had severely impacted a lot of natural defenses.

    It's supposed to be bad, but not apocalyptically bad as almost all of the media are reporting. Serious flood concerns, though.

  • NightDragonNightDragon 6th Grade Username Registered User regular
    I'm actually really lucky - I live on a hill, there aren't any trees close enough where they'd hit my apartment or my car, I live a 5-minute walk from the grocery store, my car isn't broken down, my phone can hold a charge for 2 days, I have food and candles and a flashlight and water and a gas stove. I'm feeling pretty good about things! Hope it's not that bad for anybody.

    Two hurricanes in two years! I think these are both the first hurricanes I've ever been in...that I am old enough to remember, at least.
