    I haven't drank in like a year

    I wonder if that's going to leave me bazooka-barfing on the streets of Tokyo

    this trip is gonna own
  • no, I'm just chatting with a few of my friends who are going

    apparently we all decided to head over there at the same time which means it's going to be a party every night



    Oh.

    Still cool though.

    I'd like to visit there someday, but it seems like it'd be quite expensive.

    Lorem ipsum doesn't mean anything



    Not really, nope.

    I guess you could say it "means" "this is filler text" but I don't think that's the meaning of....mean, you....meant.

    That sentence was far less awkward in my head.

    This is my first trip over. I've had friends over there for years but I've never really cared to go.  I really don't care for traveling but I figured I need to go now while the going is good. 

    I bought my plane ticket back in August and even that early, waiting a few hours to purchase the ticket cost me an extra $400. Round trip for the plane alone was $1400. The hotel isn't so bad, getting one that early cost only $50 a night -- of course, there's some real fleabag dives you can stay at there for $35 a night. I could have stayed at some friends' houses there but I'm the type that I don't want to burden anyone.

    Now I'm totally imaging one of your buddies dragging you back from the bar, like Nyamo did with Yukari in that one episode of Azumanga Daioh
  • Hotels tend to be pretty fancy-ass compared to houses anyway, at least in my experience.

    And yeah I've heard ticket prices fluctuate like insanity.

    Oh, and those old consoles are awesome. We actually had an Odyssey2 once upon a time! Same with the ColecoVision (we actually went all the way and got an ADAM), and that nice Commodore monitor with the two input jacks on the front (which we got sometime in the 1990s from a junk-dealer friend of my brother's).

    SPEAKING OF HOTELS

    I get to stay in one this weekend because my brother has a soccer tournament in Wilmington.

    Naturally, as a kid who doesn't get to travel much anymore, I am excited.

    dude you just got back from England


  • Only ever stayed in a hotel once.


    Long story.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Only ever stayed in a hotel once.

    Airline fucked up and we missed a connecting flight so they put us up in one for the night

    The end
  • Colecovision makes me laugh because it makes me think of a really doofy line in a rap battle I had the absolutely golden experience of attending once.

    those old monitors were pretty decent for the time. However I was so lucky lately I found a 20" sony Wega, the model with the component inputs and nothing CRT really comes close to that aside from a component-ready arcade monitor

    and I would have some photos of it, wouldn't I

    that's like the only trip I've had this year though

    otherwise, I'm stuck in North Carolina (and technically I'll still be in NC but hey, at least it's on the other side)

    Speaking of which, I think we may be the only household in the world (or, at least, the only one around this neighborhood) with that rarest of birds: A CRT HDTV. That can happily do 1080i component. Yeah.
  • it's playing my song :D

    (sorry)
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ...there exist souped-up CRT HDTVs?

    Yep, I got one of those too, hunted it down on Craigslist:

    Only way I was going to purchase an HDTV was a CRT one
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    AU: Apparently Philips made one at one point, someone bought it, and we got it after they decided it was done for. My brother fixed it and it's been working fine ever since.
  • I wasn't aware these existed either.
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    I saw another Sony model widescreen CRT hdtv at goodwill the other day for $50. I would have bought it if I had the storage for it.

    ^^^Cool!

    ...i wish it were christmas for some reason

    Just hunt one down on Craigslist. If I found one here in Lubbock, surely the Denver area has a few for sale cheap

  • It amuses me that a longer version of the "sad song" exists.

  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    All of our other HDTVs are LCD, and of those, two are only 720p. :/ Mine is 1080p, the kitchen one is 1080p (I think), my lappy is 1080p...

    The downstairs one is an old (2004) LG rear-projection, and it needs a bulb. I'm thinking about just replacing the whole thing.

    One of the things about my home theater setup in this little house was the entire setup (TV, home theater receiver, speakers, everything) cost me less than $220

    the PS3 was the most expensive unit and it by itself cost more than everything else combined


  • I think this book [Fahrenheit 451] was a very confusing book. I think it was a good level for my class but like said it was confusing. I liked the idea of not having books in this society. it owuld be great because you would never have to read.

  • Forsythe

    I think you might be playing that game wrong

    I don't think many games require you to make heavy metal horns at them

    what are you saying

    that photo clearly shows me for the intense, hardcore true-blue gamer that I really am
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    almost had to press the slow-motion button right around that time too

    whew
  • you have hair on your arms


    this means you're a good gamer
  • My arms are like way hairy.

    oh here's another

    my favorite background ever
  • Well worn wings crumble
    too tired to forgive and too battered to ever forget
    I am the labour I am this
    I hang as your beloved hex
    I'll bring the nails and fevers of bad dreams
    Nail him
    Burden her
    Kill you
    Bury them
    Its all the same
    Great leveller, try to forget my name on a day like this
    Holding your rope, try to forget me now

    ...is it bad that I like trying to spot Space Ghost in there?

    (you can also find Dexter and Paper Mario)
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

    Is it bad that I enjoy listening to production music?
  • space harrier

    I believe you mean SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE HARRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER! *epic drum solo*
  • eaten sum garlic knots

    they're okay. A bit overly squishy since I had to heat them up in the microwave, and I'm sad that I have no sauce to dip them in.

  • Political dramaz on facebook. Seriously, two people I know, acting like 14 year olds..it's great.
  • so I found a new laptop screen on Amazon for $34

    I could save for it and buy it myself, or I could ask to get it with the rest of my birthday money. Problem is, the quicker option is also the one that'll make my parents mad at me faster.

    God dammit. :(
  • Why would they get mad at you for wanting a new laptop screen with your own money?
  • Boatloads of arpeggios.

    I don't have it in my hand myself, it's owed to me. That, and they don't know it's broken yet.

    Besides, it's natural for them to get pissed at stuff like this, I know they're the type.
