Well you know how people ask you what did you do today? this is one of those topic where you can just post about what you did today.

For me today I was quite busy I got payed to to mow someones yard... It wouldn't have been so bad if the old man would have had a riding mower and not a push mower... Well it took most of the day but I finished a little awhile ago and I'm beat... I don't know if it was worth the $40 bucks he paid me :\ oh well a job is a job. 😊

Today was my day off - which after working 7 days a week between my reporting job and an internship with Montana PBS all summer is kind of sacred to me :P - so I took advantage of sleeping in. After that, I changed my oil and spark plugs, cleaned the house, and finally downloaded Shovel Knight on my 3DS. Then around 7, I went to campus to help my girlfriend produce her first show for class. She's got to produce a three and a half minute newscast tomorrow morning, and only one of her reporters had their story done and ready for her to throw into the rundown which is a nightmare. Then I came home, did a load of laundry, and now here we are.

And wow, my adult life sounds really boring.

I'm working today. That's pretty much it. And whatever stuff on the PC I do before and after work. Woo.

Classes classes classes. Then three hours of Linear Programming homework by hand (we aren't allowed to use computers for these problems until we're clear of the concept chapters).

EDIT: Also, stickied. Mind the blue tac.

That's one sticky tac.

My day's not even over yet, so I'll describe the last few days in a nutshell: School.

Been quite busy lately. Yesterday morning I had to do maintenance on at least 6 computers at a grocery store (I owed a favor to the manager... I did get paid :P) And today I put down some hardwood flooring in my room... man you won't relise how much stuff you own until you have to move it out of your room :|

Today not much has happened... Something funny happened yesterday though. I found an old Sega Genesis XD it was at a yard sale and this guy just gave it me for free (its broken 😞 ) but with King Aquamentus' thread about his Sega I just found this an odd coincidence.

I ended up trying to fix network issues for someone I work with. Then went to the gym.

Today's been an ordeal. My car's windows are all manual, and recently the driver's side decided to snap off. Not just the crank, those are easilly replaced, but the metal knob that attaches to the door frame itself. After taking the door apart - which was surprisingly easy, just two screws and popping off the plastic lining - I tried applying some apoxy to the broken bits. Had it sealed tightly, let it sit for the night, tried to roll it up today, but the apoxy didn't hold. I don't have welding equipment, but I had to cludge a fix together because Montana's a little rainy lately. Anyway, I had to drill a small hole into the bit on the door and hammer in a spare allen wrench into it. I got the window rolled up, but now I won't be able to roll it down without taking the door apart :P

I'll probably ask around and see if any friends have welding stuff and get it fixed for real shortly, but for now, it works.

Now I'm gonna change my spark plugs and oil.

I woke up sick and ended up working for about 4 hours anyway before coming home and then did the dishes (I finished them about 5 minutes ago to be exact) and now I'm spending my headached, sore-throated evening trying to relax and not be sickly. On a more awesome note, I'm getting a Wii U next weekend (in time for Hyrule Warriors AND so I can use my Mario Kart 8 free game code before it expires)

Bummer about being Sick mrz84... I really hate getting sick hope you get well soon!.

Well for me not much has gone on today other then Picked up a metal detector for the total hell of it. Maybe I can make finding shotgun shells a hobby... (btw thats all I found today <.<😉

Forgot to post it yesterday, but I went to my younger brother and fiance's baby shower. The highlight was them opening the various gifts. Surprisingly, they received more baby wipes than diapers. And lots of interesting baby clothes. Since the due date is Halloween, most of them were themed around that, including 3 that were the best of all (at least the the happy couple's eyes) : a TMNT outfit (it had a generic TMNT on the buckle so the baby could be whichever turtle he wants), Link's Tunic (but not sword ,shield , or hat though my bro said they will get those later), and last (but not least) a Batman outfit (they even joked that the baby's first words will be "I am the Night"😉

I Saturday I was talking about a metal detector and I was right I found nothing except some old shotgun shells and a few beer cans embedded in the dirt... Who would have thought that in the past rednecks and hillbillies inhabited my yard xD

Well in other news I'm going to be taking a break from the forums it seems activity of the forum is jumping up quite a bit. And I've got to get away from some stressful stuff (on the Internet in general.) So I'm off for a few days to do things around the house and maybe I can put some things out of my mind...

Bye guys see ya in a few days or who knows I might take a long break... never can tell.

Today I did what I've been doing a lot of lately - taking photos of clouds. Ever since I got a cell phone with a decent camera, it's become something of a hobby of mine - getting shots of thunderstorms as they build up, shooting sunsets, etc. I especially like working in the evening, since evening gives a chance for very interesting mixes of colors and lighting. It's possibly the most boring thing in the world to anyone but me, but it keeps me occupied.

Ventus 25 Sep 2014, 15:49

I'm back from my Internet break, Just had to take a break for a little bit some things came up and it needed my attention.

My day was dull...until I got my Wii U today. Just finished the transfer for my Wii data and will post my Wii U info in the game tag thread thingy in Gaming Discussion. Other than that, a dull day.
