Rantettes and Ravettes Episode IV: A New Thread

[Koeniou]

Rant: Crappy day today.

[Scowdich]

Rave: Went camping this weekend.
Rant: With my mom and my brother.

Amlthrawn:
Try doing a similar distance while doing your own routefinding and over terrain varying from 'recently resurfaced road' to 'field that was annoyingly lumpy before the cowprints'. Then you get complaints from most of the other joints in your body as well.
Particularly after a somewhat unexpected ditch causes the crossbar to try and castrate you.

Been there. Done that. I luckily was also able to avoid the crossbar. Frigging potholes.

CD Purchases:
Rave: Chicago's Greatest Hits (the first 12 tracks only)
Rant: Chicago's Greatest Hits (the other 30-some-odd tracks...wtf)

Rave: Finally got into Flogging Molly at the advice of a good friend of mine.

[Koeniou]

Rave: Parents out of the state until Sunday.
Rave: Pretty relaxing week planned.
Rave: Acne antibotics! Huzzah!

[Imeut]

Rant: Got stuck house sitting for my parents all weekend...which resulted in my having to get up way too fucking early everyday.
Rave: I got paid for it.

[FireAza]

Rant/Rave/Something: My deja-vu is getting weird. I'm not a superstitious guy, but I do have experiences and go places that I could swear I've seen in an old dream. Today, these past ones were topped. Last night, I dreamed my Invader Zim boxset had finally arrived (I placed an order for it a few weeks ago). Now it wasn't quite accurate, as for some reason it wasn't the deluxe house-shaped version I ordered, and it came with some hentai titles in the boxset too for some weird reason. When I woke up, I thought it would be funny if it actually did come today, so I checked the mail at around midday, when it usually comes. Not there, oh well. But then at 1:00 the mail arrived: as did my Invader Zim boxset. Eerie!!

Rant: There's no GIR figure, the website said there was a GIR figure!

[Nukinblackmage]

Rant: I am never letting anyone touch my computer ever again. Have some friends in from out of state, and one of them wanted to check some things on my computer, and now Trillian is not working, and that irks me very very much. When I got back on, I had about 20 different copies of Trillian running at once, or on the taskbar, which just boggled my mind.

Rant: Trillian loads, but the main window doesn't show up and nothing I do will get it to show up. I even tried doing a system restore point and it still doesn't work. I don't want to reinstall it because I forgot my Yahoo password and thus wouldn't be able to log onto it again until I figured it out.

[vixendrop]

Rave: Doggy! We got a Great Pyrenees this weekend. She's wonderful.
Rant: Now my kitties are angry with me.

[Nukinblackmage]

Oh, and I suppose, Rave: Got an XBox 360 yesterday (today if you go by merit of I'm still awake at almost 3am.) Had much fun doing 6-person Halo. Just wish we coulda done 8-person Halo

[StruckingFuggle]

Rave: the Zombie variant on Halo 2.

Man. Sixteen person zombie would be insane...

Zombie: Remove weapons and grenades from the map. Turn on team switching and unlimited kills, turn off round time, shields, and motion sensors. People start with the shotgun and the energy sword, and on two teams. It's a two-team game. All but one person starts off as a Human, and one person is the Zombie. Humans use the shotgun, zombies use the energy sword. Whichever weapon your side uses are the only weapons you can use; except humans can use turrets and drive vehicles. Maybe use vehicle weapons, but that's up to you. Oh, and no tank. Warhogs and Wraiths and Scropions only.

If a zombie kills a human, with the energy sword, that person switches teams, to the zombie team.

Last one surviving wins.

(and then becomes the new patient zero, and the easiest thing to do is just have everyone switch weapons, declare a ten-second armistice, and then go right back to it.)

[Skorpion]

Rave: Got my quarterly book delivery.

Rant: 17 paparbacks costs me 250$

Why do I always read the english versions of books, would be much cheaper to get the german. Ah yes, because the german language sucks.

You're actually paying less for paperbacks than I do, by the matter of about a dollar.

Rant: Books are expensive.
Rave: Found a charity shop with a good selection!
Rave: Calculator pinned to start menu.

[Skorpion]

Most of the paperbacks I have are for £7.99 or £6.99. The bigger ones are £10.99. Where do you order them from?

[Healer24]

Rave: I made my first cake yesterday, and it was delicious.

[adciv]

Most of the paperbacks I have are for £7.99 or £6.99. The bigger ones are £10.99. Where do you order them from?

Rant: You guys get gypped. I thought it was bad enough paying$7.99 for a paperback book here.

[Lunatic Jedi]

Man. Sixteen person zombie would be insane...

Oh, it is.

It is.
