    The M in the circle doesn't match up with the M in the wordmark >_<
  • That's not an "M." That's an "H" with a tail. Somebody go back and time and kill the person who designed that monstrosity.
  • TUMUT CREW REPRESENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tumut
    And Ozzy's boat is getting a brig that I'm becoming more and more afraid of as time passes.
  • I don't really like the wordmark much, it's so... old-looking.

    I guess it makes them unique though...

    I haven't stayed in a hotel since May 2007.

    It was a Days Inn, for the curious. This was after the chain introduced the current logo but before this particular location updated its signage.
  • I have no idea why but I like the old Days Inn logo.

    It's so simple.
  • Also, I don't think I remember ever staying in a Days before. My family tends to gravitate toward Marriott brands (heck, I lived in a Residence Inn for two months, and I'll give you one guess as to what hotel I'm at now).
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You lived in a Residence Inn?
  • Yeah. It was where we stayed while our house wasn't finished being rebuilt, at least until my parents rented an apartment out for the rest of that time.

    It was nice. I didn't mind too much, though I did miss being in my house, but they always served breakfast and we got a month free thanks to the insurance company, so it wasn't too bad.

    Sounds cool.
  • It is 1:30 in the morning and I'm watching Gilmore Girls.

    is that a good thing or a bad thing
  • I guess it's ok.


    Me and Bunny didn't talk all day. :<

    :(

    Where was he? It seems he's out a lot.
  • I dunno!!!

    The thing is, tethered to this phone I don't show up on Google chat, and so he prolly thought I wasn't online. :<
  • So.
    Does my obsession with Cowboy Bebop bother anyone here?

    HEY JUYS

    Does Mandy fit my personality well enough to use her as an avatar?

    YOU SICK FUCK
  • Alright, in that case, I would wish to inform you all that I have a bad case of the sads.
    Jupiter Jazz is a sad episode. ;_;

    Ah, the U.S. Department of No Not Really. My uncle used to be the director of their Cleveland office
  • And then I got even sadder by reading about The Legend of Korra. Nobody mention anything even tangentially related to Cowboy Bebop (e.g. Steve Blum) please.

    Bye everyone.

    I need to sleep but I can't.

    CA: Yeah, Power Manager can be silly about that at times. That and with SpeedStep and such, power estimates are total balls most of the time anyway.

    ...for some reason it took me ages to notice the similarities between Ren & Stimpy and Cow and Chicken.

    Realization: Because my room's in the basement and everyone else's are on the second floor, I can sing out loud at 3:40 a.m. and not disturb anybody!

    No, because Cowboy Bebop is the shit, and also, yes, Jupiter Jazz is totally chock full of sad.

    But it also teaches you important life lessons like not attempting to mug tourists because they might be the futuristic reincarnation of Bruce Lee.

    Oh wow, I just realized I totally do limp-wristed motions with my hands when I sing at my desk.

    I'm more flamboyant than I realized, it seems.

    Also I want somebody to talk roads with but I don't think Lee is around right now...

    I learned that from watching Yellow Sundae Dance recital.

    It's kinda like Black Swan, except it has little girls and they're secretly ninjas.

    I'm here, for a little while longer anyways.

    Yay!

    So ODOT is doing construction over on I-670, but the ramp from Neil Avenue to 670 eastbound is open...sort of. You can take the ramp, but instead of merging into eastbound traffic, it's set up so you have to stay in a dedicated lane, separated from the others by a concrete barrier, then get off at the next exit to Convention Center Drive. To keep going, you have to go through a temporary traffic light, then take the ramp back to I-670 EB from Convention Center Drive.


    And here's the ramp that leads up to it. Ignore the ramp to the left, that one's blocked off with a concrete barrier.

    So...yeah. They put in a traffic light, even though the curve makes it completely blind until you're right up on the intersection. You just kinda have to brake as you come around the curve as if you know you have to stop, until the light comes into view. Which most people do, but even so...whenever I'm sitting at that light I'm afraid the next person off the ramp is gonna rear-end me. ._.

    ...why is there a temporary traffic light?

    Because the detour means there's a lot more traffic coming down that ramp than there would be normally. Enough to warrant a traffic light, it seems.

    so how is Britain?
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    CA: Wow, that's bizarre. And you'd think a SURPRISE TRAFFIC LIGHT!! would be better signed, especially on an Interstate!

    Also, I just took my clock radio apart to figure out why the FM reception is so bad, and I noticed several things:
    • The build quality is excellent, even though this radio cost me like $15. No chip-on-board crap, no unmarked boards, no shortcuts. The clock chip is a microcontroller I couldn't get the number off of, and the radio itself is a Sony CXA1019 radio-on-a-chip (yay analog signal processing). This last chip is through-hole
    • The FM reception is crappy because THE FM ANTENNA IS MISSING. The only thing resembling an antenna is a tiny trace, maybe about a centimeter long, where the aerial lead going out the back would usually be. ARGH. Oh well, easily fixed with a razor blade and a soldering iron. And either some 26-gauge hookup wire, or some solid telephone wire scavenged from an Ethernet cable.

    They at least have a "signal ahead" sign on the ramp, but it's not very helpful because you can't see the light itself or how many cars are stopped there until you come around the curve.

    Coming home from work on Tuesday I came around the curve and the traffic lights were out...just completely dark, as if there was no power. I ended up doing kind of a rolling-stop--I wanted to make sure it was clear, but I didn't want to risk taking the time to come to a complete stop in case the person behind me was the kind of idiot who thinks dark traffic light means "come on through"...

    Also I want to learn to solder some time but I have no real need to.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    CA: Argh, even with a sign, that's asking for trouble. And I get confused by dead lights myself...they say on the radio here to treat them as 4-way stops, but few people bother, especially on busy roads.

    I need to get to bed, since I want to try and get on a schedule again...I ran late all week last week. :P Good night!

    Good night Lee.
  • So. Did I tell you guys about my day thing? No? Well here it is.

    I didn't really do much at the water park since a) we got rained out and b) I'm scared of drowning, but I did make a rather dumb decision to try doing this monkey bar-ish thing they had. I did fine on the first part since the floating plate things under us were close enough for me to get my legs to (I have really long ones, it's weird) but the second part I couldn't because my sister had just dropped into the water below in front of me and that moved the plate too far out. I already had tired arms from the first part, so when I tried to just pull myself forward, well, sploosh, down goes teh Trevor.

    After that I got the lifeguard to take me back to the other side where the entrance was, since any attempt to swim would be a rather epic failure on my part.

    Oh, and also we went to the lazy river. It was fun. My family rode the innertube but I didn't want to since I didn't have a lifehacket and LOLTREISPARANOID, so yeah.

    Today I'm probably going to feel conflicted as heck when I go to Six Flags itself. I already know I'm not gonna die if I go on a rollercoaster (at least, the chances are rather slim) but for some reason I still get jittery and decide not to go on any when I go to amusement parks.

    Whatever, I'll still have fun. Cobra Starship is gonna be there for a concert, so I'll at the least have a good time then.
  • Also I'm totally copypastaing that to Tumblr.

    Sounds like you're having fun!

    My family doesn't do much on our trips...we can't afford an actual vacation, but my sister's friends always invite her to stay with them in Georgia, so when it's time for her to come home we go down there and spend the weekend, then bring her back with us.

    But hey, 600 mile road trip, I'll take it!
