I got a decent browser... with tabs!

:D

Opera, if anyone's curious.

EDIT: I also 100%'d Metroid Zero Mission. That's not very easy, considering all the shinesparking you have to do to get some of the later powerups in the game.

Well, I should've mentioned this about 24 hours ago, but yesterday I got my braces off and my preordered copy of Guitar Hero 5!

...However, I have to go in an hour or so and get my retainer today and I didn't know GH5 was $60 when I bought it (also, having bought it incredibly early, I panicked briefly when trying to take advantage of that GH Van Halen offer because the website for it was still being updated and I didn't get my confirmation e-mail until way later).

My post in the Nostalgia and Lose thread made me revisit Vidgmchtr's posts before he left (I think at one point he was also banned, but that seems to have been lifted) and this quote makes me smile:

Most likely won't happen.

Famous last words are great aren't they?

Well, my parents came back from Finland yesterday night! In tow: Assorted candies, plenty of pictures that I've yet to see, and the requisite that we now have losts of things written in Finnish hanging around the house.

Bought some neat stuff recently: Carcassonne: The City brand new for $30, an N64 with two controllers and Bomberman Hero, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Diddy Kong Racing also for $30, a full Clue set for a buck, and a Logitech Attack 3 joystick for four bucks.

Double post, but:

Kalee finally has a computer at her house! Once they get Internet set up, she's going to start visiting the chatroom!

Also, the week of Varth finally ended. Week two of STGT 2009 is a game Lizard Dude would love: Raiden Fighters Jet!

*I'm taking the CHSPE and my friend who passed is helping me review my math
*I've got this huge dose of willpower to go and finish drivers ed before 12 am tonight.
*I LOVE MY JOB (most of the time)

Just out of curiosity, what exactly does this job involve?

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #4523 on:** September 09, 2009, 03:18:00 PM »

I work with middle schoolers and we write plays and perform them after going through the process. The program is a performing arts program for "at risk" students, which just means that the schools we go to aren't in the best of neighborhoods (the ghetto).

That's an extremely great thing to be involed in, Pt.

And Morgan got me They Live! by Evil Nine, as well as another present.

I'm like super happy about everything today. Even living in the semi-ghetto ;D.

Weegee · « **Reply #4526 on:** September 09, 2009, 04:12:21 PM »

That's good to hear... I guess.

You have officially completed your rite of passage, Glorb. Welcome to manhood.

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #4527 on:** September 09, 2009, 05:00:39 PM »

Getting a sweater is a rite of passage?

Glorb · « **Reply #4528 on:** September 09, 2009, 05:06:01 PM »

Let's just say it wasn't a sweater.

CrossEyed7 · « **Reply #4529 on:** September 09, 2009, 05:12:31 PM »

I get the feeling that sweat was involved, though.
