ddickinson: I can not speak for all of that, but wealth is no always measured in money. Wealth can mean anything. You could take away all my possessions and stuff and leave me just my lovely wife and I would consider myself very wealthy. And as for wise, well I think you don't give yourself enough credit.
Well... I used to think I was a little more wise. Had a few moments recently where I've realized that may not have been the case though :-p
I guess those moments where you realize how wrong you've been are a great opportunity to change for the better though. Everyone is a dumbass at some point. It's learning from your mistakes, correcting them, and moving on that says who you are as a person, at least in my eyes. Then again, I'm known to be wrong from time to time :-)

Stilton: What's the state of Galaxy these days? Has GOG got it debugged and fully functional?
avatar
AgentBirdnest: Chat is as messed up on Galaxy as it is here. I've had some trouble making sure the program closes. I've had to shut it down from the task manager a couple times.
Other than that, I haven't had any big problems. (After a week of use.)
The wait for it to be right continues...

LeoLR: It's great to hear about your enrollment at the university.
I'm happy for you. Good luck on this adventure!
Thanks.

CarrionCrow: Good very late evening/very early morning.

It's funny, you're not the first person I've seen describe that book in similar terms.

That's good. What are you planning on doing once you get re-enrolled?
What, the lack of professional writing varnish? I think it's a good thing in this case, specially since too often lately I find that said varnish is very shiny, but stinks of industrial chemicals. This on the other hand has no shine but is very nicely polished, and you can smell the wood itself. It is a nice smell.

Throwing a frat style kegger party!

Ixamyakxim: Hi! I feel like you haven't been around as much - nice to see the song of the day!

I'm... a bit embarrassed to admit I didn't know this was a novel. I've been looking for something to read lately (I was hoping for a bit of obscure but readable, well sourced and decently non-biased history, but I could do some clever sci-fi). This could do the trick as I liked what I saw from the previews as well.
Do read it. It's short and sweet. I managed to read it in one sitting.

So after spending half the morning patiently waiting my turn, They tell me I don't have all the necessary papers, mainly fiscal data. Fan-fucking-tastic. So I make a quick trip to the nearest bank. Get the info, and head back... Only to find out they're not serving anymore numbers today.

I have to go back tomorrow.

FearfulSymmetry: Yeah, this actually happened in my first year of university ... When I should have been old enough to know better. ;) "It will be fine," I told myself, "I haven't actually thrown up in over ten years, what's the worst that could happen?" Well ... :P
[...]
Yeah, in the heat of the moment I sometimes tell people more than I actually should as well. :P
Haha... Luckily I have some signs anytime I am actually about to throw up. I start sweating profusely, and my shirt will magically disappear and I'll have no memory of how :-p

Luckily that podcast I was interviewed for was never published. Which is good, because I don't want the entire world to know about the time I forgot how to use the bathroo... oh dammit... I'm doing it again, aren't I? n__<

moonshineshadow: I think they just released a game you'll love:

In Little Inferno you'll spend most of your time doing two things: buying things, then burning those things. Enter your inner pyromaniac - there's a curious satisfaction to the burning, and the focus of the game is executed perfectly with beautiful tongues of flame.

moonshineshadow: :D

Wait... we're supposed to be learning from our mistakes and bettering ourselves? It's exhausting enough just making all these mistakes in the first place. I thought my work was done. ;)

Can't quite go back to sleep, can't quite wake up... so I'll coast aimlessly through the house for a while, I suppose. Eventually, it will lead to making a pot of coffee, and then things should start making more and more sense. :)

If you ever doubt your intelligence, just think of those people you see on TV reality shows, or American's Dumbest Criminals, those kind of shows. We all make mistakes, that does not make us less wise. In fact we grow wiser because of those mistakes, provided we learn from them.

Of course... How else would we ever beat FTL, if we didn't learn from our mistake of not upgrading the doors and letting the mantises move freely through the ship and cut every member of the crew to pieces? [/playing too much FTL lately] ;-p

Gah, I hate when that happens. Usually it just results in me staying in bed and thinking about life, which is never pleasant :-p

Credit to the Dumbest Criminals for actually carrying out their plans though, even if they are stupid :-)
But absolutely zero credit to anyone who has anything to do with a "reality show" >__<

I recently googled worst TV show. Because at the time I couldn't remember Jerry Springer's name.

I was wrong, there's something worse.

The worst part is. You can't even laugh at their stupid obese redneck asses pulled straight out of deliverance. Because the bastards have somehow managed to monetize their horridness.
And that is a very cunning thing to do.

Gonna read some mangas now.
I'm worried. My Onee-sama will be married this Saturday and I'm her best man.
I'm nervous.

I can't really say I watch either. I had to thing really hard to even come up with Dumbest Criminals. :-)

I saw adverts for that show. The strange thing about reality TV is that people who are horrible are making lots and lots of money from it all, as apparently people love that as it makes them feel superior watching such shows.

What kind of wedding will it be? Do weddings in Brazil do anything unique?
