Everything at work today is so. Darn. Slow. I actually have time to pop in here between things loading and crashing and rebooting. That's awful...and it ruins the "less time on UESP" mantra I adopted.

Oh well.
Huzzah!

Without UESP? Hmmm... Then I would go back to my roots and just be a s'wit. ;)

Could you stand being just a normal S'wit now though? ;)

I got my ukulele in the mail today! Huzzah! It was such a huge, gigantic box for such a tiny little thing...so it was quite a surprise to find it leaning against my door. What a neat feeling though. I'm looking forward to learning something new, and I've never tried my hand at music before!

Almost counteracts the fact that I had to leave work early today to get my brother off the bus and am now working on reports from home. Sigh.
Huzzah!

That's really cool! Isn't it always nice to get large packages in the mail?

Heck yeah! Nothing makes you feel important like a package...though, I'll be honest, an old fashioned letter cheers me up just fine!

I hate receiving letters, mostly because the letters I receive is from my bank. And they are not too happy with my account, lol.

I did receive one from the Danish tax-system though, I loved that one, they gave me 1500DKK back that I shouldn't have paid in taxes. So now my bank is probably more happy, but my bank has crashed... so... my account is probably not that big a concern right now...

While not today, on Friday I got a "Very Good" condition original Xbox controller. As it turns out, when I got it on Friday, it was in not even usable condition. It wouldn't even connect to the Xbox. Looks like someone is getting a negative feedback review and a refund. :Angry:

Ebay deal? I'm sure the person looked at it's physical appearance and then determined it was usable without plugging it in to actually find out. I doubt they had nefarious intentions but they should know better. Hell, that's business, if you give them a negative review then that is the price they pay.

If I were you I'd try and get a deal from them. Tell them you're not happy with their service and if you don't get something (% off a game or xbox accessory or whatever else they peddle) then you'll be forced to add negative feedback.

I got it from Amazon, who listed a website. The package came with a makeshift piece of small paper where it said "If you are not satisfied with the product you have received, I understand your frustration, phone number, email, etc.". Only reason I really need it is because I'm eager to start playing Morrowind after a *gasps* 1 and a half week break from it. :cry:

Sweet! I just recently got a Uke, too! Maybe we could get a Uke band together you and I?

Hardly original when it's so easy. :(

Well of course I'm the "Half"! I always get top billing! :P

"With My Little Stick of Blackpool Rock" will will probably be the 'hidden track' (oh yeah, we're bringing those back) on our first album.

Musicman and Avron. Please promise me that your first album with Half-S'wit will be called "This! is! the! S'wit!"

Gideon, we'd let you in, but then it wouldn't be Half-S'wit, it would be Third-S'wit and that just doesn't have the same effect :(

Unless you wanted to be a backup instrumentalist. Then the name would be untainted. ;)
