| Neat and Not So Neat

No is for sure this is not the way it is with all women. As a general rule, women tend to be neater than men, but this sounds like she is a little obsessive compulsive. It can be nice in that the place is all spic & span, but I hear you on the, all clean, all the time.

jr0n, that is annoying and the one thing I really don't like about MUNI, people do not act respectful either other of a lack of caring or ignorance. A couple of days ago I was watching some lady clip her nails on one of those ridiculously packed N rides during the morning commute. I could see nail clippings zipping here and there, even though she was halfheartedly trying to collect them in a newspaper on her lap. Eww!

| Nazi Neat Freak vs Coughing Hag

speaking of strangeness and compulsive behavior, my housemate is extremely neat. Now, that's great in some moderation, but it's one of those compulsive behaviors where she has to have everything in that particular order/spot and only that. I have an Uncle who is Bacteriaphobic and resembles similar behavior. Example, she has to have the coffee pot in that particular corner, kitchen napkins on a spot, and I can't have anything else laying around. Basically the kitchen has to be neat and tidy. In a way it's kinda cool, it tends to remind me to just make sure I keep everything nice and neat to avoid any issues, but in some way, I just don't feel 100% sure I'm comfortable. Sometimes I just feel I want to be lazy and maybe leave a couple items out. God forbid, I leave out a pan. you know? Or is this the same with all women?

I am sitting next to an old woman who is chewing gum extremely loudly and at the same time humming. How is that even possible? Occasionally she pauses to send a hacking cough my way.
Oh my god, I tried Brazilian BBQ for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it was BRUTAL! The kind where they come around with swords of meat and shave it onto your plate, right? Holy cow, it was delicious, but way too hardcore for me. Korean BBQ is so tame in comparison. Back in the day, Big Wok era, I'm sure I could have fucked shit up, but now its just so WRONG! Now I'm hungry for filthy brazilian meats at 7:40 in the morning.

I keep hearing that it takes about 8 hours to run through the single player for Portal 2 but I don't know how many levels/chapters it is. I think I'm on Chapter 3. It's a lot of fun! I actually don't know my schedule yet, but I leave for work at like 11:45pm on the days I work, so sunday night/afternoon should prolly work. I'll text you if I'm loafing around - after Game of Trones.

| Portal 2

I've been playing a bunch of Portal 2 as well! Wednesday night, I went to a Brazilian steakhouse with Matt, because I couldn't make his bachelor party in Austin. Well as you can imagine, we drank a lot and I ate at least four pounds of meat. (Not fart meat.) I was so full and uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep at all, and got out of bed at 5:30. Enter Portal 2! It's fun! Last night I started Chapter 6, "The Fall." Not sure how far along I am through the game, maybe 2/3s or so?

Maybe we could play some co-op Sunday night, will you be around? Otherwise, let's grab a night next week when you're not workin'.
Working on the night shift! Isn't that some classic rock jam? Well, that's what I'm doing! Anyways, as I stare blankly at my computer screen, I'm sending you all warm and wet wishes! I brought TWO bananas for a snack tonight. That seems like overkill. Ugh, orange I glad I brought two bananas? Pea-not, really. (I added that last food pun to the joke, working on it.)

In MC news because No Gnews is Good Gnews, I think the crash that happened around 11 was them pushing out a new version across all servers. It's real tumultous right now, so if you get in there, pull up the chat screen and /save-all often. I remember the last version sorted itself out after awhile, so hopefully we'll be more stable soon. Notch said he's working on a "map item" with "fog of war" "auto-mapping" - I'm guessing some kind of mini-map. Should be sweet! Don't forget to update your texture packs like enron said. Painterlypack.net was on the ball and I was able to set up some sweet "biome specific" grass and leaf stuff that I don't know what it actually means, but there's a ton of variety in my world. MY WORLD!

I'm drunk with night shift power. Working on the night shift... wooo.

Jorn, let's do some Portal 2 co-op whenever you get the game! I'm loving the single player and dragging it out, only playing like 1-3 levels a day, but I don't want to touch multiplayer until it's with a true bro.

PS: For Elrick, for the detector tracks, until there are pistons in the game, one use could be musical notes! You can have music play as the cart passes over those blocks. Neato. OR, you could have it trigger dispensers having it shoot snowballs, eggs, or even arrows!

Eric made an awesome powered railway all over the place - fun! Then I crashed hard and logged back in and was missing a bunch of crap (but the rail still appeared to be built up with the powered tracks.) BETA!!! Off to work :(

| 1.5_0x & LB Realism

For those of you using mcpatcher, you will need to update to 2.0.0-beta4. The old one 1.1.12_02 is not entirely compatible with 1.5_01

NOTE: The old patcher (1.1.12_02) seems to crash with 1.5_01. The current beta 2.0.0-beta4 does work with 1.5_01 however. The grass block sides are a texture pack issue, not a patcher issue. When texture pack authors have updated for 1.5_01, the problem should go away.


More at the forum.


mcpatcher 2.0.0-beta4


BTW, rain is crazy wierd.

D>M>
the client side updates are at 1.5_01. 1.5_02 is the server side update only. So when you play, you'll see 1.5_01 up in the corner. And remember, I think you need to get the first achievment in a single player game b4 its opened for getting in the multiplayer. (Hint, the 1st cheevo is super easy)

| 1.5

r00d, I see they updated quickly from 1.5 > 1.5_01 > 1.5_02. Is the server on 01 or 02? Just curious.

| ver 1.5 is a go, update and have at it!

I've got to sleep for work, but update is installed and seems to be working ok - prolly gonna be bugz, but it'll work itself out. goooo, team terminators

| Oh crap...

Art, I am very sorry to hear about your G'pa. That is really a bummer. I hope your mom is at least fairing well.

PS: In case any of you jokers forgot to build your bomb shelter already, I think you're probably screwed. Skynet will be initiating the apocalypse today.

EDIT: Also, the JP Wheaties box was awesome. I can not even remember who pulled that bad boy out of the closet that last time, causing JP to go apeshit and delete the box from existence. It surely was a high point of that gaming session.
That makes me want to see the infamous JP Wheaties box :( I never got to see it.

They've got a build for 1.5 out just now but I'm gonna wait till I'm home in the morning to put it on - they might have more builds by then.
