Canderous and Cade's Crazy Cantina: a shiny new fanfiction social thread!

Depends on which store I want to go to. Last night, it was Store Trekking Into Darkness Across the Universe. Earlier, it was just Store Trek Down the Street in the Rain.

 

The closest grocery store is about two miles away, with a recently-opened convenience store about a mile down the road. I can also walk into town (two miles down the road) and take the bus elsewhere. It's not a bad location, though a bike would make things easier.

 

My store is less than a few hundred meters from my condo.

The convenience store, that is. The grocery store is a couple of kilometers down the road.

 

I can relate -- my current prescription is 3 years old -- I pick up my new glasses tomorrow -- my distance has not changed but my reading distance needed to be changed --- small print is a witch when you get over 40. Suddenly your arms are not long enough to make it readable. I litterally had a friend hold a menu at two feet for me - so I could read it.

 

Well, they put the carpet into my and my roommate's room, and the hallway up to the living space. I have been moving stuff back into my room; today I'm going to pick up a completely new set of bedclothes, pillows and a comforter, in addition to an additional floor lamp (for some mad reason, my room isn't wired for a ceiling fixture at all, and the switch in the entrance instead controls a wall outlet. I've already got one floor lamp, and if I can find one just like it or similar enough, I've got a matching "daylight" CFL (compact fluorescent bulb) to have a two-lamp setup that'll turn off and on at the flick of the aforementioned switch.

Everything else in my room will be plugged into outlets that don't have such a screwball setup.

 

Mabel has perfected her cat flounder routine. I can roll over onto my side and she'll stay attached to me the entire time as she migrates from my stomach to my arm. She's like one of those weighted balls that you turn and the object inside stays upright.

 

Three years of no life!

And...

Action Mabel with kung-fu grip!

 

D'awwwwww!

'Grats, TrakNar! "Wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube Mabel!"

 

Gotta love Tumblr.

 

Nah, it's a spoof piece highlighting the utter vapidness of Tumblr and other atrocities of humanity contained therein.

 

This gave me a good laugh, though it may only make sense to other Pokefans.

 

Yes. We're just so Gand up in here with our Gand-ness. Gandulous!

 

We need more Gands for our takeover of TFN.

When the humans and mods are away, the Gands will play.

 

Ooryl will bust Zuckuss out of the hospital or die trying!

 

Oi! Mav is gone and I'm in the middle of writing drunken papers (it's not going well) and there is a Gand revolution. Should have seen it coming.

I went to that History Department social. Ate food, drank with my profs (they were surprised with the number of rums and cokes I could down) and had an all around fun time. No drunk fights this time, but we got to hear a lot of dirt since the majority of those in attendance are graduating in May. The have offered one of the candidates a job, but they were really disappointed with them all, so they are trying to get they guy who was here for one semester back. I'll be glad if they do, his lectures were really fun, but I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't work out.

 

Briannakin At least you're not learning Drunken Boxing through a neural interface.

 

Why does that sound familiar...

We played Kick the Can and Sardines at youth today. In a word, entertaining.

 

Lol. no. I'm actually pretty much sober now. I have a super fast metabolism, so I don't know if that helps with my ability to consume large quantities of alcohol and be completely sober in 2 hours, but it comes in handy.

I would finish my stupid last essay now, but my brothers are having sleepovers, so there are 4 teenage boys down the hall. They are going skiing tomorrow, so I have the house to myself, so I think I shall finish it then. I've got 500 more words till I hit the low end of the required count, yet I've got like that in research alone left to fit in, plus my conclusion, so I figure I'm all good.

EDIT: I've heard of kick the can, but sardines? It sounds familiar, but I can't think of what it is.
