Because sometimes you need something to distract you from trying to take a hammer to your phone/desk/coworkers/customers.

To the people who broke
down the door at a Wal-mart and trampled one of the clerks to death:

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

-Morgan. It's shit like this that makes me start talking like Mir...

... because a serious injury should never be funny. But the reason that Anne Coulter has been quiet lately is that her jaw's been wired shut. Seems she fell and broke
it.

I keep hearing Joel Grey, dressed as a little Korean man, saying "Lesson Number 7: Contemplate blessed
silence."

...because of the http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2008/11/2 ... updat.html]economic update that th Finance Minister tabled in Parliament today.

The important bits:

• They're holding wage increases to public servants (including MPs and senators, which helps blunt this annoyance) to 2.3 per cent for last year and 1.5 per cent for each of the next three years (we've been negotiating a new contract for slightly over a year, and my union's been asking for roughly double that - not that I ever expected we'd get what the union asked for);
  
• They're bringing in legislation to prevent us from striking until 2011; and
  
• The other person at my level in my group is the building's shop steward.
  

Cartoon network had a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float in Macy's parade, and seemed to have puppets of the characters ready to sing the Theme
from The Courtship of Eddie's Father... suddenly there's a record scratch and out of the middle of the float steps Rick Astley....

Aaaaaaargh. Stupid Yuku.

So, I downloaded an update for my antivirus, and now, whenever I try to
play any sound (game, system, music, or video file) after letting my
machine go to sleep, it BSODs and restarts itself too quickly for me to
read what's going on. When it comes back up, Fucking Vista claims that
my (built into the motherboard) 'Audio Device is not installed'.
Rebooting the machine does not get my sound back, but shutting it all
the way down and bringing it back up does. Once I have it back
it works fine until the next nap.

Now, I was planning to nuke my current system back to the bare metal at
some point anyway, but when the system comes back up after the
crash Fucking Vista's 'let me find a solution for this' box tries to
pin it on the hardware. I wouldn't trust this OS if it claimed the sun
rose in the east, but it seems wisest to see if anyone has a way to
make sure before I start my rebuild.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."

To give a quick idea, Doyenne is currently an armored blaster. She has respectable defenses, two single-target attacks, a single target hold, and a cone - all
Psi attacks.

I've been traking her through Tesseract's Ouro arc, and I've come to this realization:

Me vs practically any minion/lt (hold resistants excluded): Yawn.

Me vs hold resistants and bosses: Hmm, this may be tricky...okay, no it isn't.

Me vs ANY EB: Oh my GOD, the attacks, they do nothing!

This last one was evidence by me trying to take out Liberty and her Mom. Ended up dying twice and going through almost 50 insps.

Finding myself a little short of money going into the christmas season, I've decided to sell my copies of GURPS Wild Cards and GURPS Aces Abroad (both of
which are based off of the Wild Cards shared-world anthology series, the 19th volume of which is coming out in December).
