After reading an article about a man that owns a very limited amount of clothes, making his life more simple and money directed to things that actually matter to him, I decided I couldn't take any more of my own mess, so I cleaned up my closet. I'm nowhere near that dude's level, but it was very therapeutic to toss out a huge pile of old clothes that is just using up space.

And now the X1 isn't working...wonderful.
This is either a complete coincidence and it was going to quit anyway, or the storm is responsible. How, I don't know; it wasn't on during. Hell, the PS3 was on during the storm (when the power went out), and it's working fine. :/
Or it could be something came loose at the back, but damned if I'm going to fight with that jumble of wires tonight. Goddamn it...every time he's gone, at least one form of tech quits on us. It better not happen to my laptop...

Style matters in combat.
I would even consider doing the deal for Shinigami Eyes if it meant I could get Ryuk to show up. Sure I lose half my life span but It'll make the world a better place.

Just be careful you don't end up like Kira. The power to kill doesn't make one a god, it just means the one with it is willing to do what most can't/won't. 'Sides, I'd hate to have to start some orphanage of genius kids just to stop you if you went power crazy.
Thinking:
I don't want to make dinner. It's too much work.

lol You wouldn't have to worry, I'd only need it once and then I'd tell Ryuk to wipe it from my memory.Just be careful you don't end up like Kira.

I should do a test to see how different people react to the same situation to get a feel for how people react to potential horror situations...but where to get guinea pigs....
+ So rushing through Lovecraft, I'm only averaging 100 pages in 3 hours...that's...not a lot for me. So...if I only do little sessions once a day, it'll take me four more days to complete the collection...which will leave me with one day each for all the other books...and no time for note taking. I need to rethink this....

Wanna know something interesting? If you were to take the first syllable from both Jugram ("Yūguramu") and Haschwalth ("Hasshuvaruto") and put them together then you'd get the first half of Yhwach ("Yūhabahha") .
Probably doesn't mean anything but I found it amusing.
That's awesome!
I always wondered why Jugram's name is written with a J, when in Japanese it starts with a Y. These two letters are pronounced differently, so at one point his nickname Jugo made me think of number juu-go (15), Ichigo's trademark number.

Probably because the Sternritters have a German-esque motif that Kubo did that.
Wow, Kubo needs an urgent lesson in German, their alphabet has y as well. XD
Though when it comes to names that start with Y I found only examples where it is read as "I" ("E" for english speaking people), so I don't know how it would sound in Yugram.

I mean he butchers the Spanish for the Arrancars and also when he sometimes writes the chapter title in English so it's all good. :wink:
lol, he messes up on all fronts so it's forgiven. XD
Kinda makes you rethink the secret wish of your favorite series referencing your own country...

As if it was as simple as flicking the surge protect bar on and off...
Well, at least that's one less piece of tech to worry about. ^^; (Unplugging it sure as hell wasn't an option; seriously, we need to tidy those wires up...and by "we", I mean the dipstick who turned them into a chaotic mess to begin with).

Dante's Stalker
"Outrun this!"
Yes please ^^,
I started reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer to my kids last night (because The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is apparently an adult version).
Once I was done with chapter 1, the kids were all looking at me with these tired, confused expressions and the conversation we had kinda went along these lines:
In short, all that happens in this chapter is an old lady talking to herself and screaming at Tom, and Tom running off to go get into a fight with another boy whom he then beats up, and then stalks home and harasses until the boy's mum comes to tell Tom to get lost. This, my dear children, is an example of a character who is trying too hard to be a badass and failing at it - No, my boy, this isn't the Tom we know, this one is made up - and it is also an example of a pretentious writer. Old school, but pretentious. What does pretentious mean? I'm sorry baby, that means he's trying very hard to sound clever with all those big words he chucked in there. I'm sure he doesn't speak that way in real life so he shouldn't write that way either. What if he does speak that way? Well honey I don't think anybody would want to hold a conversation with him then, and he's probably a lot like the old lady in the beginning who was talking to herself. Yes, love, Nana does talk to herself, but she's been dubbed the crazy lady a decade ago so it's acceptable and appropriate. Yes, and not pretentious, love, you got it. Well honestly it looks like the whole book is probably just going to be about trying to make Tom look cool for doing naughty things, so it's just as well you didn't understand half of what was happening in the first chapter anyway. Being naughty is not cool, because being naughty is being stupid when you know the rules, right?
My kids agreed. I'm not even going to bother scanning the Huck book for inappropriate scenes. I know it's a classic from way back when in our time but nah. Doesn't apply to this generation. I mean who's kids actually spend all their free time out in the bush and out in town on their own, especially at the ages of 7 and 9, nowadays? Like. No. These books are going back this weekend, finito.
