i wanted to wish you a good one too but it was odd among the carnage of pitbulls vs kittens

plus wasn't sure about the "irrelevant" placement

hmmm...

anyway i hope you had fun

^ No biggie. Just getting older again, that's all. Thanks though. Mostly spent it worrying about the paper that's due on Sunday. But got to meet two lovely friends of mine too, so yeah, I got some enjoyment out of it I'd say.

2 is so much better than 20 isn't it? ha ha ha

Yeah, I'd say so. Not really a guy for big overblown parties anyway. At least in terms of personal celebrations. I'm of course happy if a lot of people show up to my theme-events. But that's something different altogether - I usually don't have to adress and react to all of them personally, there's always this comfy invisible wall of "I need to tend to something now anyway".

I use this as the 'stuff you can't put anywhere else' thread.

Today's my little brother's first day of high school. I've told him that he's going to be hated anyway, simply by virtue of being a Year 7. So if he's quiet it'll be better.

School diary decorations ready for tomorrow

I got a new job yayayyaay me!!!!

Congrats dirty bunny, and happy birthday Antagon!

snot irrelevant!

congrats

Thanks Dr Eugene Felikson & !@$%!


Feels good!

It's really weird when you're listening to a bootleg, and the band plays an unreleased song that'll become one of their biggest, but nobody's freaking out because nobody knows it.

We've been talking about representation, selection, and omission within media, and we were talking about René Magritte and The Treachery of Images. Couldn't help but think of this...

Zach Weinersmith is a smart and entertaining man.

try to rep you as a thank you for the laffs but cant yet

does his name mean sausagemaker? hmmmm...

Perhaps originally - he was formerly just Zach Weiner, but he adopted his wife's name as well.

"Weiner" actually derives from "Wein", which is the German word for "Wine". Alternatively, it could also refer to the verb "weinen" which means "to whine". And if you were to conjugate it to say "Go on and cry" or "Cry me a river", you'd say "Wein doch!". Yup, in German, those words aren't just homophones, you also spell em the same way. So "Weiner" could also be someone who whines/cries. I know that your comment was made in jest, I'm just trying to throw around trivial information as a means to procrastinate.

That comic strip is really funny by the way, kudos!

I salute your procrastinatory efforts, Antagon.

I'm killing time by working on my sports stats project.

oh hahaha
so he makes people cry?
thank you. i like words

You're welcome. Doubtful due to the ending of -er, which rather refers back to the person (i.e: he who cries). But who knows? Might as well be. Surnames can get really crazy in the German language, making the etymology kind of muddled. There are literally people named "Bauernfeind" around here, which translates to "Enemy of farmers".

oh ha ha ha ha that name is like... attila the hun!

anyway weiner is he who cries

but weiner SMITH (schmidt, same difference) is a what?

a crafstsman, a maker

eg
blacksmith
silversmith

therefore
a maker of “he who cries”!

Fair point, I didn't factor the -smith into the equation. Also a nice thought given that he's a cartoonist. I like the dimensions this conversation is starting to explore.

Must spread some rep around

I'm walking into the entrance to the library and a bunch of nerds (one of them won an award for reading the most manga of anyone in the school, and was happy to receive it - if that tells you anything about him) are standing around.

One of them says 'hi' in a stupid voice, and I just keep walking. Another goes 'aren't you going to talk to us?', and then I said 'why would I want to?'

After typing on a clunky keyboard for a school computer, my laptop feels really light and fresh.

Going Skiing/Snowboard this weekend for my 30th birthday!

http://www.cypressmountain.com/

nice!

watch out for gwyneth

See, the doods being greedy. If he’d ask for a lot less, he may have been able to get a settlement or something ;P

So now my dog is following these new cats around whimpering because they dont want to be her friend. Idk what I was worried about

No way Jose, youre way more adventurous than me lol.
I couldn't even imagine flying down a snowy mountain like that. Sounds like hell rn.

Stick me in a cabin by the fireplace w a book n some spiderman comics and I'm good fam.

My 28th bday is coming up in a week or so n I just want some eggplant parmesean, a new vacuum, and to maaaaybe see that new Laurel and Hardy movie lol

hahaha

must spread more butter

that fireplace needs a hot buttered rum

Trying to form a club for music discussion at school. I've got a good starting point for it, with a few of my friends.

That shit was pretty crazy. Hard as fuck. I tried snowboarding. Can’t do it. Didn’t travel more than like 10 ft before falling....which hurts after a short while. If there’s a next time, I’ll try skiing. Not a fan of having my feet fixed. Anyway...it was...an experience....but yeah nah. Never snowboarding again.

PS we may return to this mountain in the future but it’d be for Snow Shoeing and maybe tubing :)

Nice. They’ll be friends soon enough. Glad to hear she ain’t chompin’ on some cat.

Ps. Don’t treat a cat like it’s a toy for the dog. I did that once with Elephant and Pason(Shi Tzu Yorkie) and Elephant almost grabbed him like a toy. Anyway, everything was fine after but for that split second, I thought I really fucked up.

I’ll be honest...4/5 years ago, I probably wouldn’t have been this adventurous. My huge inspiration is to show my girl amazing shit as well as Elephant. They’re both great and deserve all the nice things. Elephant is a very well travelled dog, he’s from Chicago, took a road trip with me to Colorado(chilled in NE, hiked in CO), he’s lived in Washington and hiked on some badass trails, we hung out in Portland exploring the city and the parks there. After this nice weekend trip, we want to bring him to Vancouver and explore a nice snowy forest.

TFW a dog is more well-travelled than you

In English Language we're talking about how there are some phonemes that other languages don't have - for example, there's no /ð/ in French, no /θ/ in Gaelic, or no /l/ in Japanese - and I could tell the kid in front of me was trying so hard to not make racist jokes.

This is a kid who, when we discussing gun deaths in the United States, looked at suicides by under-15s and said all the year sevens should go do it.

Too late! I can't stop chucking Sneakers' helpless body down the hallway, and having Ruby retrieve her for me.
