On Feb. 18, 1855, French-Canadian cattle dealer Louis Remme deposited $12,500 in gold in the Sacramento branch of the Adams & Company bank. Shortly afterward he received word that Page, Bacon & Company of St. Louis, the largest financial company west of the Alleghenies, had failed. He returned to the bank but it had already been liquidated, depleted by desperate depositors.
So Remme jumped on a horse and rode 665 miles north in 143 hours, including 10 hours of sleep and brief stops for food. He arrived in Portland, Ore., on Feb. 26, went straight to the Adams & Company bank, presented his certificate of deposit, and withdrew the $12,500. He had beaten the steamer that carried news of the bank’s failure — and Portland had no telegraph.
Hate my school's fin aid processing. Worried something is messed up because fall fin aid is not showing up (though I was told the school muffed crap up). Still, worried I messed something up. And if I did I'm do fuckfuck fucking screwed. Arhghgh

Adlut looks like a creature in its full maturity. Its main habitat is in a workplace of some kind, most likely an office. It enjoys taking responsibility for important issues.
Also I kind of started wondering about something: if a character has been established as being more grounded and less quote-unquote "badass" as his counterparts, would it be OK to give him superpowers if his counterparts did as well, or would that betray his purpose as a character?
I'm just asking hypothetically, I don't plan on actually doing it for fears of Mary Sue-dom (aside from maybe a dream sequence or two).
But the fan-translation back into English is dreadful. The story's okay, but the grammar and spelling are making me want to stab myself in the eyes. It's just horrible.

Speaking of icons, the Mac version of Microsoft Office using stylized versions of the apps' initials always irritated me:
Yes, it distinguishes them well enough, but is it really that hard to come up with graphics to represent concepts like "word processing", "spreadsheets", "presentations", and "mail/calendar"?

(Especially when you're working with Mac OS X icons, which were much bigger than the icons that Windows XP and earlier supported)

Oh. The use of color threw me off since the last thing you posted from it was in black and white.

Yes.

There is literally nothing scary about Satan.
He's one of the major contender of owner of the sin "Anger".
Also, he caused a whole bunch of property damage and murdered a whole bunch of people in an attempt to "make a point."
He also caused the fall of mankind and possibly influences much to all of the evil that happens in the world, depending on who you ask.
He'll do a hell (hehe) of a lot more in the future, presumably.
RONALD MCDONALD
vs.
GRIMACE
No contest.Nothing can kill the Grimace!
Most McDonald's in the US have been given a mandate from Corporate to apply the new "McCafe" redesign or they face fines. Some exceptions are made, but not many.
My mom works for McD's so I know a lot of this weird business politic culture they've got going on.
For instance, employees are required to put the straws to your soda in the bag now, as opposed to just handing them to you. They get written up if they don't.
Honestly, this new "The straw is in the bag" thing annoys me. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Abstract
It is proposed that happiness be classified as a psychiatric disorder and be included in future editions of the major diagnostic manuals under the new name: major affective disorder, pleasant type. In a review of the relevant literature it is shown that happiness is statistically abnormal, consists of a discrete cluster of symptoms, is associated with a range of cognitive abnormalities, and probably reflects the abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. One possible objection to this proposal remains--that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.

I'm getting excited-- we're finally going on vacation soon. Sure, it may only be to Six Flags but we might possibly be there to see Cobra Starship, plus any trip away from home is notable for me since I'm more or less stuck here.

Also I kind of started wondering about something: if a character has been established as being more grounded and less quote-unquote "badass" as his counterparts, would it be OK to give him superpowers if his counterparts did as well, or would that betray his purpose as a character?

GIMME A "CTORY"!
Seems like it.
This book was written by Stan Lee. Not a joke.
But the fan-translation back into English is dreadful. The story's okay, but the grammar and spelling are making me want to stab myself in the eyes. It's just horrible.

These icons are cool.
Also for some reason *every instance* of the word "useless" shows up in quotes.
as in
"I'm so 'useless'."
"It's 'useless' to try."
etc.
although aside from the trainwreck of a translation, this is actually pretty good.
HEROMAN's design is pretty boss, too.
And Grudge is actually a decent villain with a pretty unique concept
but
again. The translation.
this...is not what America looks like.

same thing I've been ramblin' about for the past half hour, really.

And watch my life flicker before your very eyes
With no commercial breaks... NO BRAKES
