37,000 EXP.

I am now a top 100 b/p'er. Finally made it to the majors. :P

Also, here's Rush performing Limelight from last night's show. The old hags played for 3 hours! They did a lot of stuff off Clockwork Angels and didn't play quite enough of their old stuff for my taste (I'm just pissy they didn't play A Passage to Bangkok.) Sill an amazing experience, though! :D

Jesus, just seen a 400mb movie that's less than a minute long, and stuff submitted on Wednesday that's still under judgment.

It's really just the idea of a girl referring to herself as a "Night Elf" that I find so appealing. ;)

No, you misunderstood me. It was HIM who said "she is a night elf" when asked about his "girlfriend". ;)

Yeah, I always wanted to crush someone else's wedding.

You mean crash? That sounds pretty violent, man. ;P

I generally don't like negative responses but better that than no response at all. At least that shows acknowledgement, unless they start doing bot replies. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a thing for some employers.

Yeah, some responses are just lame and are simply just serial letters. But sometimes you notice that there actually are people typing the response and trying not to sound too negative. I appreciate that, even if they didn't give me a positive reply.

Just sell those FF games and then it's no longer an issue. :D

Sorry, that is not an option. :/

But the new games are crap. Why even bother having them lying around?

Heh. You are asking a collector why he has all this stuff lying around? It's like asking about the meaning of life.

I understand that.

Yep. Been watching an awful lot of Adventure Time lately which is another factor for focusing on something that isn't Newgrounds. However, I'm all caught up with that show now so it's a matter of finding something else to watch. I've been trying Beavis and Butthead but I don't like the padding with the music videos and if you take them out, you're only getting 3-4 minute episodes.

Wait, where can you watch Beavis and Butthead with the music videos still intact? All that I can ever find is shows with the music videos cut out...

I am tempted to make a new Last.fm but I don't want to throw 7 years of my music history away like that. They'll have to make the option to change names sooner or later.

Maybe they are evil enough not to do it?

Perhaps they are. Fuck.

Excellent!

33,000 Experience

After a pretty awful day in the cricket, I needed something to lift my spirits.

33,000 saves.

Lots of achievements from me lately, though I think this will be the last, at least for the time being. ;)

Hot damn that's a lot

I forgot to post this. Finally into the Top 50 Medal Points earners.

46,000 B/P Points.

44444 saves.

Anyone here who can deposit for me? I am away from Thursday (16th) to Monday (20th) and I will have no internet connection at all at the place where I am staying. So, any help would be appreciated.

I had one letter today from one of hundreds of places I've applied to but all it said was myself being unsuccessful. That's fine since not only do I have an interview tomorrow, I actually do have a job guaranteed very soon. 16 hours per week and it's for six months so if one fails I still have the other.

Well, I guess I didn't read your post carefully enough. Your question is different from the birthday problem, this is true.
BUT: You say that the same song cannot be played twice. So you have to take into account how many songs did you listen to before that special event occured? If the same song cannot be played twice, it's impossible for any song to reappear in between the two "Poison"s if you already listened to it.

Whenever the algorithm gets reset, i.e. when I charge the iPod, all of the songs become "fair game" again,

You also have to take into account how the shuffle algorithm works. Does it play songs "at random" or does it keep an internal list and will give you the same song order as long as you don't turn it off

Each one of the songs gets a number, 1-2260 and it runs that list through until the battery dies. You can skip on or go back. I just found it hightly ironic to get 2 in a row with Poison, then three in a row later that same day with Powerslave.

A few days later, I had One Week, by the Bare Naked Ladies following Jerry Springer, the parody, by Weird Al.

Maybe not just yet. We'll see how well I do for the season, I'll let you know.

Please do. :)

First game, we lost by 7 wickets. All out for 52, I was out for a duck. My career as interim captain should now be over.

Yeah, we've had very little sun. Perhaps I'll get them out in the sunshine soon, if it ever comes back.

I haven't played Monopoly for years. Perhaps I should dig the old girl out?

I last played it last year at a friend's house. I made a boss move by double rolling into Park Lane and then rolling snake eyes into Mayfair. I was able to buy both properties but it sadly didn't make me win the game. Still, gotta love moments like them.

Nah, the best set to get is the green ones - more chance that people will land on them and they are the most expensive outside of Park Lane and Mayfair.

I'm looking at actually buying a house in Worcester, which is about 10-15 miles from home. Maybe that will be some way of turning my relationship fortunes around?

Now that boosts your first impression a lot. I'll admit that my first impressions are horribly lacking but if they're quite a distance away, hopefully just saying I'm willing to travel far just for them will get them interested in me. I do have my determinations but they're not being put into use. Yet. Just need to find that right one who will say yes to me.

30 is a bit old for walking home with a girl and saying "keep the noise down, my parents are asleep" :P

Yeah, you have a point there, although one could still find the name of my ex. At least I don't wave around the name of family and friends on the internet. Perhaps you know my sister's name but that was only because my tongue slipped at the time. Although, I think you're trustworthy enough to know her name.

I can't remember it, don't worry, your secret is safe with me :P

Hah, I suppose it's all good then. Maybe at the next NG meet we'll both go to I may tell you my ex's name. :P

I'll be drinking, so safety again!

It's a good start for sure.

Again: Collectors issues. I have much worse games in my collection than any FF (I also still own FF IX, even though this game sucks as compared to VII and X), but I don't just throw them away. Because... well, that would just be wrong, you know? ;)

Wait, where can you watch Beavis and Butthead with the music videos still intact? All that I can ever find is shows with the music videos cut out...

I'm just using YouTube to find the episodes.

Ah, so no chance for me finding those on YT. "Sorry, but this video MIGHT contain content of... blah"

Some of them have the music videos but I'd rather watch the episodes without them. The episodes themselves are still fun so hopefully I can go through most of the show. I did watch Do America years back.

Do America was great, haha.
Beavis and Butthead had some very nice videos from time to time. It was that show where I first saw the video of Wendy O. and the Plasmatics - The Damned. ^^

Got promoted to Colonel. Not many more ranks left now until that winged tank.
Still only just over halfway though.

And also over 10 total voting power.

Just dropping by to say: "Good buy". I will be back on Sunday, but might not post here again until Monday.

So long. :)

Just dropping by to say: "Good buy"

Yeah, of course that should read "bye". *hangs head in shame*

Ah well, at least you have something to laugh about now. ;)

180,000 medal points earned.

Level 52 attained.

Level 16

Level 44!

Wow been so busy with Real life that I forgot to post my last milestone. 8 years on NG with this account. Is it really a big deal? Nope won't be until I hit my 10 year mark.
