The 'What happened to you today' thread

[leroybrown]

What happened?

I'm guessing Dark Spark is a GWAR fan, or an Andy Rooney fan, or it is a reference to something silly that DS is assuming we all 'get' but nobody does, or DS is legitimately heart broken. We'll never know.

[Elune]

That's why we love Dark Spark.

Does anybody remember the Sinbad films that where made in the 70's? Well I spent a large part of my day watching them, the computer animation for the monsters is so bad it's hilarious. I still love these films though, I grew up watching these regularly with my Mum. Classics are always the best...

[Jeff]

I went to the movie theater to see them. They were awesome back then.

[Avron the S'wit]

Dean, those "old" movies are the best in my opinion. I love nothing more than watching old Godzilla movies and movies like Them! In fact, when I was younger my father would always add "Big Ants" to the end of all of our school spelling lists, and every time I would say, "But dad, that's eaaaasy!"

Ah, memories.

Today I finally had a nice, pleasant day of relaxation, which means I hung around in my PJs, had a nice cup of coffee, and meandered around the internet. This was made all the more pleasant by the fact I was out yesterday with a special someone. If that's not a good weekend, I don't know what is.

[Dean]

Firstly, Jeff that is to cool. I want to watch these films on a big screen.

Old films have a certain... feel to them that is hard to explain. I think it's because they didn't try so hard to be dramatic in everything they said, it was more natural. I guess a lot of the ideas where fresh to, a lot of todays films, although a fair amount of them are great, they seem to be running out of ideas for them.

If I can get my old video player working, I am so watching the old Jason and the Argonauts next(I believe there was a remake in 2000). That is one of the best adventure films ever made.

Let us just say that the third stanza to the RHCP's "Police Station" took on some additional relevance. The price one pays being the sanest dreamer in an insane world which has discarded those whispers.

Not to say that the world as a whole has lost all its dreams. But time is definitely passing me by.

Down home country
I rest my face on your bed.
I've got you ten times over
I'll chase you down
'Till you're dead.
That's some good stuff man. If I were you I'd just give up. In the end nothing really matters to meeeeeee, to me.

Almost got detention at school because I didn't do my homework because I was on here pondering riddles instead =_=

10x more educational (and difficult) if you ask me.

[Kerr]

I has a history and english exam. I have an Irish exam tomorrow. I have exams all week.

These were great especially the one from '77 - that was the one with all the monsters right? I mean I remember a three headed dragon fighting another gargantuan beast.

[Elune]

Did they even have computer animation in the 70s? Serious question.

[exoclipse]

I believe so. See: star wars.

Today, I woke up at 3 AM to work, and slept from noon until 5:30. I have to get up again for work at 3. I volunteered to do this job.

Something is wrong with me. On the upside, I'm starting to get a really firm grasp on trig, which is highly important for when I take calculus and when I start doing actual engineering work. I figured out today that an ellipse can be partially defined as a relationship between two triangles. My mind was blown.

[Avron the S'wit]

Oh my gatos, I am having the most miserable time at work. You know how difficult it is to come into an office full of employees who just do a lackluster job and, furthermore, just don't even care? It eats me up inside. And really, there isn't any reason for it to, because I still do my job and I do my job exceptionally well...but I just don't understand when people lack that bit of compassion toward something, even a little. The apathy here is so thick in the air that it's getting really difficult to come into work each day. Which sucks, since given the economy and my responsibilities I really need to stay in work.

What's worse is that I talked to someone higher up about this, but it doesn't seem like he really listened, because I haven't heard or seen anything done to change anything. I guess that just goes to show how important my opinion is around here.

Bah. I hate being in a down mood.

AND I just remembered...I get my GRE scores today. Ugggggh.

No, but they had stop motion!

Anyway. Today I got a mail from one of the 100 of jobs I've applied for... but to my great expectations I got turned down, however they would keep my application in case they would need to hire again. Declined again... oh I think I'm gonna fall into a depression when Skyrim is being released friday and I still haven't got a job. Or work of any sort for that matter...

Don't worry! You can work for me! I'll pay you at least minimum wage($35 an hour, that's pretty good) and you get to play Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim all you want!

[the Savage Hippie]

Hah! That sounds great, but I do think the journey from Denmark to Morrowind will be some what expensive and stern.

[Avron the S'wit]

I'm pretty sure that is above and beyond minimum wage!

Declined again... oh I think I'm gonna fall into a depression when Skyrim is being released friday and I still haven't got a job. Or work of any sort for that matter...

Have you tried a temp agency? That's how I landed my current job. It was a blessing in disguise.

I meant my minimum wage.

I'll pay for the trip, Hippie! It only costs 5610 drakes, anyway.

Unfortunately, I am not in the possession of any drakes. (Dang).

Well yeah, I have put my name down for one (three weeks ago) and I registered a profile at another one last week, but they haven't send the mail that their website told me they would yet. So I've been planning on calling them tomorrow. The first one has not provided me with any work at all (yet)

I have the drakes. Your job is going to be rating games, most of the time. Some of the time you might have to help me play Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, and very few times will you have to buy me lunch.

[Goblin voice]

Today I wrote an exam in Chemistry, about [swedish]jämvikter och sådant[/swedish] in school, and then I went to work and worked until 21.00 (9pm) and then I went home and made dinner at 10pm... and now I'm tired... but that doesn't mean I can't smile

Sounds like an easy job to me! 10, 10, 10.
