56 here after adding the new stuff to the list while removing stuff by way of purchases.

5 and a half months is a solid run. Don't kick yourself too much over the setback, just keep going.

Some days require extra hot chocolate... *sip*

Well...just beat Warhammer 40K: Kill Team, and it was a facepalmingly bad example of how developers can be clueless. If I had paid the ten dollar retail price, I'd be screaming right now.

Yeah, I keep being amazed. I reserve a special kind of hatred for a commercial about cleaning spray against fungus in the bathroom. That one has been on for years now in all its terribly dubbed glory and it's getting really annoying.

Yep. I occasionally get a frappucino there but everything else I just consider overpriced (and the frappucinos too, to be honest, but they can be rather tempting). I can get a good coffee for half their price, easy.

Here our days are requesting some extra cold ice cream. :-)
At least it rained a little today...

Wish I had some ... guess I'll have to make do with tea. :P

All the essay writing has given me a nice headache as well. -__-

Sounds nice.
It's just finally cooling down a bit where I live, which is extremely welcome. I'm not a big fan of intense heat.
Sorry to hear that :-( (About the headache, not the lack of hot chocolate. Though I'm sorry for the latter too :-p)
Well, tea is good too. Usually. :-)

Haha, it'll pass eventually. :P I guess I've been tensing up my muscles too much. :P

Yeah, tea is all right, but all this talk of hot chocolate is really making me crave some ... guess I'll have to go out tomorrow or Friday and buy some. :P

Howdy y'all, how ya doin'?

I guess I should keep my mouth shut then :-p I'll talk about something else...
Water is the best. Sure glad I have this mug of room temperature water here to keep me happy...... [/lying]

It's even worse when it's the same commercial, and it just keeps going...and going...and going. I'm pretty sure the same commercial here for a legal firm that specializes in asbestos-related lawsuits has been on for the last 10 years solid.

I know that feeling. There's a local coffee place that does very good milkshakes and fruit smoothies. The prices are nuts, even compared to fast food places that do similar items at very high prices, but they're nice to have every once in a great while.

Pardon my curiosity. A few days ago you were trying to decide on which subject to write your essay. What did you choose?

Is another harsh winter being expected in the US this year? I remember that during the last winter some cities got buried with snow.

Can't complain here. Just beat a bad game, but at least it was short, finally figured out what I wanted from sales, took care of that (and thanks to my net upgrade they're almost completely downloaded already, yay), now it's watching more Illbleed and enjoying the afternoon.

How are you doing today?

Good moaning what's going o... GOOD GOD IS THAT IT FOR HALLOWEEN?!

Meh; it's good enough.

There's an IHOP here?! (first time I read that, I thought it was some sort of tech gadget) I must go, order some, then rack my brains about why people keep eating such things willingly and repeatedly.

I'm still trying to figure out McDonalds.

There's at least 2 starbucks in town. I've ordered twice from them. Once to try it. And a second to convince myself that I hadn't hallucinated the whole thing. I don't even think their coffe is particularly bad, just ludicruously overpriced. Also, over here people usually prefer coffee in small doses, not in HUEG paper soda cups. As far as I know, they're kept in business almost exclusively thanks to tourists.

No prize for guessing their nationality.

What game? I picked up Jefequeso's new game A Wolf in Autumn last night and I'll probably play it when I get some quiet time later. It's supposed to be short, maybe an hour or so, about like his first commercial game The Moon Sliver.

Overall, doing good enough that I can't complain much. I'm falling back into goth pop and doom pop, I love that style but it can be a pain in the rear to find new groups of that style.
