    We've been pushing for an 18+ category to be added for a while now. Not keeping up with it though.

    I was acting like a mad scientist today in lab. So now I want to make a series of lab instructional videos for Organic Chemistry etc. on Youtube.

    After 2 hours on the phone i managed to bargain my way from 30.99€ to 20.99€ monthly for my Internet service.

    I feel a strange sense of accomplishment...

    I wish I lived in a culture that still worked on the bartering system. You people in Portugal have it good.

    I also want to live where people could ride bikes everywhere instead of driving cars.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    You need to learn to take a compliment.

    I did a similar thing when I called AT&T about a potential fee before I signed up for their Uverse service. They ended up waiving the fee for 6 months, so I saved $60 from a 5 minute phone call. Previous to that, I called them to cancel internet service because I was unhappy with their service and ended up getting half-off monthly service for 6 months, a $105 savings.

    Finding out that someone broke into my car while I was walking my dogs, who stole a total of 2.34$, a half pack of pack of menthol cigarettes, and a Dir En Grey CD I got from their Family Values tour with Korn. The part that made me smile was the police officer who told me the suspect dropped their wallet full of ID in my car while rummaging through my backseat; Karma for the win >

    So did you get it all back?

    Stupid people who steal with ID.. reminds me of the guys who broke into our shop at 3am to steal.. then reversed their car towards the front of the shop to make moving goods easier. Because of that, the camera got their registration plate (and the car wasn't stolen).

    I didn't get my stuff back unfortunately, but it wasn't a big loss on my part anyway I'm just glad I didn't leave my phone oranything in the car it could have been much worse. It just brightens my day to know how dumb some criminals are

    She's really grateful but could totally make more money working part time for minimum wage. I can't pay her much but I really need the extra help.
    She may not make as much as she would at another job, but atleast she got to choose her own boss, doesn't have to deal with "customers", and if she were to strive for a teaching/substitute position after post-secondary education it would look good mon her resume. Its a win-win for both of you in my opinion.

    By coincidence, I got escorted home from lab for about 10 blocks by about 600 raging 99 percenters and 40 cops. I was all, 'inb4 tazed bro'.

    No one got tazed.

    Yeah, today was a big event for OWS. I'm kind of upset that I wasn't able to attend.

    Since posting gay things became the new hippy/cool.

    I smiled because we got a special Two For One deal today at the buffet dinner I went to. Furthermore, it was much improved compared to my previous trip a few years ago. Perhaps it's to attract customers in times of lower economic activity (and they'll try to make up for it with the casino), but I had a shit-ton of prawns, Moreton Bay Bugs, smoke salmon and oysters that I totally didn't expect to be there.

    The fact that I managed to hit the right spot (full, but not I-don't-want-to-eat-for-a-week full) made it even better. I have a nasty habit of overeating when I go to rare and tasty occasions.
