I'm irritatingly close to a couple other milestones, so I should be in here a few times over the next few days announcing stuff.

Well, now I'm at exactly B/P rank 500 and exactly Experience rank 6,000. That's kind of cool, actually. Still irritatingly close to one more milestone though.

Next milestone passed 16000 blams. while Blams are harder to come by then they were back in the day it still is not really a big deal >_<

59,000 Saves

I'm gunning for illuminate, but I can always concentrate on catching up on my Blamming now.

I should've come up with something more clever to still let you take that bet.

Shame you've missed it. It was an interesting tour, the stage design was pretty cool as you probably already know. Oh well... you can always get the live Blu-ray at the Rosebowl. At least you'll experience it a little bit, if you have some decent speakers that is.

I saw the concert they performed live on YouTube, which was quite good. Not the same as being there, but got to experience the set list and all and see some of the visuals, so it was nice.

I think that was their Rosebowl show. It didn't have the best performances of this tour in my opinion, but yeah at least you've got the idea.

I was actually thinking that we should nip it in the bud and just delete your accounts.

That's even worse. ;_; Blasphemer!

Yeah well, that's what you get for choosing your wife and your games over the Wi/Ht?.

We are looking for a new apartment as well, hopefully we find something bigger soon. ^^

Good luck with that.

Bigger eh? Ours is not that big, but big enough for the two of us. We got a 17m2 living room, 11m2 bed room, 9m2 study room, 7m2 kitchen and a hall, shower and toilet. In total I think it's about 50m2.

It's not too bad considering most students I know live in a 12m2 room, share the rest of the house with like five other students and pay just as much as the two of us do together.

Yeah, popular LPs can be expensive nowadays. 70 euros is still not bad indeed, but you would have to have an LP player which are also not so easy to get.

As a doctor? Nice!

Yeah, still assistant doctor but at least she gets payed quite good for it (even though the payment could be a bit higher, lol).

Oh okay, so actually she's still studying but is almost finished? I think the medicin studies here takes six years out of which one or two is being an assistant doctor.

And yeah, I think medicin is one of the few studies that pretty much guarantees a great salary after some years. Especially if you choose to be a dentist.

Yeah. I'm sure the universities in Amsterdam and Rotterdam have many students as well, but Delft is not even that much of a city.

But it has a "leaning tower" as well.

Leaning tower? I don't know about that, but I know one of the churches' towers was in flames some time ago.

So Hamburg has two universities?

Three. :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_i n_Hamburg#Universities

Three? I see one is pretty new, founded in 2006...

So Hamburg is also one of those student cities then? Or is it so big that even with three universities you still don't see an awful lot of students out on the street?

I guess in Germany it might also be known as 'Den Haag'.

Yes. Even though most people don't pronpunce it the right way.

If it was written as Den Haach then it might have been easier for you guys to figure out how to pronounce it.

It's not only the train. It's about 30 minutes bus, 15 minutes subway, 15 minutes train and 30 minutes walking and waiting in between.

Yeah, this is quite annoying.

The worst thing is that if you miss one of them by just a few seconds, you'll be 15 minutes late at the very least.

I only have to change once from the bus to the train. Most of the time I don't have to wait that long. But there's a train every ten minutes anyway.

That's much better. In that case you'll never be much too late if you miss anything.

All I know about the Hoff is that he is a washed up B-grade actor who used to play in series like Baywatch and Knight Rider. I used to watch Knight Rider as a kid, but I have no idea if it was such a good series or not. Probably not.

Hey, I have all 4 seasons of Knight Rider on DVD. It's great!

Agreed on that last bit. While I think the fourth gen games were pretty good (Platinum is at least), the pokemon set was pretty crap for the most part.

The designers were so lazy for the fourth generation. I'm just glad the fifth generation has no pre-evolved forms of older Pokemon. Besides the odd move, they're all fucking pointless.

I think most of the evolutions of older Pokemon in the fourth gen were pretty pointless. While some could have done with a stats boost, for most it just meant a shift in stats. As in 'instead of high attack he now has high defense'.

And yes, it would've been better if they left Pokemon like Munchlax out. Evolving them is just busy work.

I heard the new gen had some new battling systems going with 3 vs 3 battles or something, and it's all a lot more dynamic.

Yep, it has 3v3.

Yeah, I wonder how that will work out.

Yeah Spoony keeps mentioning her, but I still don't know who she is. All I know is that he often goes to the movies with her. I'm not assuming girlfriend, but it does sound like Spooney has a thing for her.

Sadly, that's Spoony's girlfriend...

Yeah, some of them weren't necessary but on the other hand, it did help some of the Pokemon to make them more usable.

I've thrown up twice as well. First time was my.. um... some birthday (it's so long ago, I don't remember which one, lol). I was up since 6 am, had a very hard day and drank all kinds of stuff. Then I went outside where it was really cold. But I was so tired I fell asleep (remember, I've been up since 6 am and it was really late when I fell asleep, maybe around 2am).
Then I suddendly woke up. I always get dizzy when I suddendly wake up, being drunk doesn't help either. So I threw up, but only a little bit. I guess if had managed to throw up more I would've felt better. But at least I wasn't hung over the next day.

Second time was after a friends birthday. I was drinking beer, nothing unusual here. When it was time to go home we thought: "Ah well, let's take a beer with us", but we didn't see it was a beer called "Astra Rotlicht" ("Red light" in english), which is a lot stronger than the normal beer.
When I got home I threw up once and felt miserable the next day.

Sorry Haggard, we're gonna need Plan B.

Kidnapping is still an option.

Two rooms? Well that should be enough, but yeah... me and my gf were also happy with three rooms. Now we can have a living room, bed room and a comfortable room to study so that we won't get in each others way if we need to do uni work.

I think our neighbours are cool. Walking around our neighbourhood, I noticed that the majority of them are old and retired folks so they probably won't get on our nerves (need to be careful that we won't get on theirs though). Also, we live on the top floor so we won't have any noise coming in from above us ^^

It's not too bad considering most students I know live in a 12m2 room, share the rest of the house with like five other students and pay just as much as the two of us do together.

Yes, I never understood why some students think they have to pay so much for one room.
Okay, maybe they are closer to the Uni, but that really isn't worth it.

I think the majority of them are unaware that the owner is ripping them off and that he's legally not even allowed to ask such high rents. They're called house milkers here and they're considered a pretty big problem.

But to be honest, I can't really feel sorry for all those students who are paying too much. There are better alternatives to a (crappy) student room and if your room turns out to be way overpriced you can actually go to court. I know one group of students won a case and retrieved thousands of euros from the owner. You just need to have the balls, but I guess most students would like to keep their house boss happy and don't realize that he's dependant of you and not the other way around.

Yeah, popular LPs can be expensive nowadays. 70 euros is still not bad indeed, but you would have to have an LP player which are also not so easy to get.

No, she's finished, but you have to work 2 (or 3?) years as an assistant doctor, I think.
Propably so you get some practical experience.

Oh alright. Could be that it's the same here. I'm not sure, I don't know any medicin students.

But yeah, some practical experience is useful. You won't be a good doctor on theory alone (which goes for pretty much every job).

Leaning tower? I don't know about that, but I know one of the churches' towers was in flames some time ago.

The tower of the Oude Kerk is leaning. ^^

Oh hey, I do recognize that building. You can see it from everywhere in Delft. I never noticed that it was leaning though. I'll see if I can notice it next time I'm there.

I see Hamburg has 1.7 million inhabitants... Heh, that's much bigger than any city in Holland. Amsterdam only has 780,000. So yeah, I guess even if you had 100,000 students in there, you still won't see that many of them.

25,000 Medal Points

1 down, 4 to go

900 blams!

The next 100 will probably take forever, as usual.

*removes piece of paper from tuxedo jacket* Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the Academy, it is with great pleasure, I accept this award for third user to 4 x 20,000 points. It has been a long and interesting route here, the details of which will be discussed in minutae in my forthcoming autobiography, which I will spare you from now, as the bar is open.

Now that I have reached 20,000 Posts, I won't go off on some bollocks about reaching a secret forum (that's what I found when I got a gold aura, not when I reached a special number of spams), but I will continue to try and present myself in a constructive, helpful and stat-laden manner.

Onward towards the next 10,000!

But they are WORSE than Manowar, trust me.

But at least they know how to dress properly!

Nope, BrokenCYDE have worse fashion sense.

What about now?

I clicked it. First of all I don't think Spiral Blast is a real band. Second, I still refuse to call "Noise" music, so they don't count.

lol, the artist's name is actually Merzbow, not Spiral Blast. Too bad this is considered as music to some. :P

I don't know, I didn't use any of them in the end. I was considering using one or two of them, but they turned out to be weak as fuck still.

I had Magnezone in my team and it was pretty cool.

I was thinking more of baby Mantime, Mr. Mime and such. Munchlax is actually more reasonable than them.

Munchlax is not the worst, mostly because Snorlax kicks ass. But yeah, Mime Jr., Mantike... nobody is ever going to use their evolved forms anyway, so why bother making pre-evolved ones?

Infact, they would have done better by making evolved forms for them. Still, I always thought Mr. Mime was a gimmick Pokemon.

It doesn't surprise me. After all, Irate Gamer managed to get a girlfriend... What a fucked up world we all live in.

From that guy I would expect it even less :p

At least he's single again so I feel slightly better.

I was never much of a vodka drinker. At the risk of offending lost of Russians, I always preferred to drink alcohol with flavour.

You should listen to Janis Joplin more often, then. ;)

Sorry, I don't get the reference...

I never heard anything from Fall Out Boy. But it's some shit like "screamo metal" right? It's bad, but not as bad as Manowar.

They're nothing like Screamo metal, IIRC

Again, no time to click this link. :(

Damn...

I did now. Ok, no screamo metal. Not good music either. But still not as bad as Manowar.

Get me drunk and I think I'd still plump for them over Manowar :P

Well, not "bigger" in sense of m^2, but in sense of "more rooms" (which of course also means "more m^2).
Right now we only have two rooms, which just isn't enough anymore. Plus, our shitty neighbours from above are killing my last nerve. :/

Two rooms? Well that should be enough, but yeah...

It was in the beginning. But now that my gf sometimes works night shifts it would be really nice to have some more space.
Also, she wants to have an own room for sewing alone and I want to have an own room for my video games. XD

I think our neighbours are cool. Walking around our neighbourhood, I noticed that the majority of them are old and retired folks so they probably won't get on our nerves (need to be careful that we won't get on theirs though). Also, we live on the top floor so we won't have any noise coming in from above us ^^

Our new appartements is propably going to be top floor as well.
Also, our neighbours are pretty cool as well, it's only since last year (around August) that those from above us began listening to loud music and being simply loud in general. I really don't know what happened there. :/

It's not too bad considering most students I know live in a 12m2 room, share the rest of the house with like five other students and pay just as much as the two of us do together.

Yes, I never understood why some students think they have to pay so much for one room.
Okay, maybe they are closer to the Uni, but that really isn't worth it.

I think the majority of them are unaware that the owner is ripping them off and that he's legally not even allowed to ask such high rents.

What I got from conversations so far is that most students don't want to live too far away from the Uni. Sometimes I get asked why I live "so far off" and if it isn't annoying to have to "travel for so long". But in my opinion the low rent is worth it.

But to be honest, I can't really feel sorry for all those students who are paying too much.

Yeah, if there are students willing to pay so much for a lousy room... each to their own, I guess,

Yeah, popular LPs can be expensive nowadays. 70 euros is still not bad indeed, but you would have to have an LP player which are also not so easy to get.

Yeah, this was one of the reasons I didn't buy the LP version back then.

I do find one occasionally at some thrift store, but they always look old and I'm not sure if they're still working.

Maybe you should look for a new one in a Hi-Fi store? :P

Leaning tower? I don't know about that, but I know one of the churches' towers was in flames some time ago.

The tower of the Oude Kerk is leaning. ^^

Oh hey, I do recognize that building. You can see it from everywhere in Delft.

Heh, I only learned about the leaning tower when I looked up Delft in Wikipedia. ^^
Also, the bulding I live in can be seen from pretty far away as well. There are four similar buildings, the rooftops are in a pyramid shape, so they are very recognizable.

Lol. It looks like he has only been popular in Germany or something :p

Well, "Looking for freedom" is his only somewhat good song. And singing it in front of the Berlin Wall (when it was still up) is quite an event and it expressed the feelings of many people.
Maybe that's why he's relatively famous in germany.

Could be, or maybe Germans just like disco pop and the fact that his last name sounds German? :p

"Hasselhoff"? Hm, doesn't sound that "german" to me.

I don't know... it looks more like the funny kind of great to me :p

Yes, it's the funny kind of great, but it's still great!

I don't think the same can be said about that Knight Rider movie that came out last year.

I didn't see it.
Also the new series is bad as well.

On many pictures you can see her with a bottle of Southern Comfort. She even asked the company for money because of the commercial effect. The Company agreed and payed her 6,000$. ^^

And now I'm at 12,000 total B/P. This should be my last milestone for at least a few days now; they always seem to come in bunches.

She didn't suggest a faster way to get to the train station or how to get around London?

I've found a plateau at 14th, so I'll look up at 13th and then continue the ascent.

I'm stuck at 150ish at the moment. How long do you think it'll take for you to reach 10th?

It'll still take a long time for me to get my posts to 20,000. 10,000 should be possible within this year though.

Never considered that one. I already had Luxray as an electric type from the very beginning, so I had no need for another electric type.

I was thinking Weaville or Mismagius, but they're both pretty weak and fall easily.

Munchlax is not the worst, mostly because Snorlax kicks ass. But yeah, Mime Jr., Mantike... nobody is ever going to use their evolved forms anyway, so why bother making pre-evolved ones?

Agreed. All he does is throw around barriers and stuff, but he can't really do anything beside that.

I suppose she wants to rest during daytime. I can imagine that's a bit difficult if you're sitting in the room next to her making all kinds of noises.

Also, she wants to have an own room for sewing alone and I want to have an own room for my video games. XD

A video game room? That could be pretty cool, but I'm fine with playing them in the living room. Fortunately my gf doesn't like watching TV that much, so she'll probably be okay with it if I go play a game on the TV there.

I don't know what kind of people they are... Perhaps they suddenly decided to throw a party at their place every week?

I think the majority of them are unaware that the owner is ripping them off and that he's legally not even allowed to ask such high rents.

Yeah, people are sometimes a bit amazed as well at how long I have to travel. I think within 90 minutes is perfectly doable though. I don't have to wake up that early and I won't be home that late. No need to go spend hundreds of euros per month on some room just so I can sleep for an extra hour.

It's a different story for my gf though. She has to travel for 2 hours and 30 minutest to get to her uni, which means that she often won't be home before 20:00. Or even midnight if she has lectures in the evening (which she usually has one day of the week). In her case, I can imagine you're looking for something a little bit closer by.

But to be honest, I can't really feel sorry for all those students who are paying too much.

Yeah, if there are students willing to pay so much for a lousy room... each to their own, I guess,

Indeed. Most of them seem happy or proud even that they 'live on their own' now. Though some of them can hardly take care of themself yet. I know of some guys who only eat microwaved pizzas everyday and their house is one big mess cause they never clean up anything =/

I do find one occasionally at some thrift store, but they always look old and I'm not sure if they're still working.

Maybe you should look for a new one in a Hi-Fi store? :P

I don't know if they still sell them there.

Oh hey, I do recognize that building. You can see it from everywhere in Delft.

Always handy if you're lost on your way home ;)

"Hasselhoff"? Hm, doesn't sound that "german" to me.

It certainly doesn't sound English to me, and don't you guys have places like Hoffenheim? Hassel also looks like a German word to me.

I don't think the same can be said about that Knight Rider movie that came out last year.

I didn't see it.

Well I haven't seen it either, but the reviews I heard were not too positive. One of the major complaints from the fans was the new car they used :p

5,000 & 6,000 medal points. Was at just over 4,300 this morning.
