Cool craaaaaap you've acquired/done lately

Purchased LEGO Batman today. What a fun game! Not a surprise, all them LEGO games are entertaining.

Took a break to frak B5. I’ve been playing Wii for about six hours. Wow!! Wish the work day was as quick.

I’ve enjoyed the lego games, but I found a bug in the Lego Indiana Jones game and got stuck. Fun games though.

Awesome fun day out with friends. I even (and this may be a bit contradictory to the stated purpose of this thread) engaged in fiscal responsibility (OK, well, we’re living on a graduate student stipend, here) and didn’t but the decanter that I was eyeing at Crate&Barrel. Good thing we never made it to Pottery Barn, or all might have been lost! :wink:

You should be proud.

Bug? Really? Games never have bugs. rolls eyes with hint of sarcasm

What chapter? I’ve completed the game and didn’t run across it.

Bugs? I thought they were added features.

Of course you’re gonna have bugs! Don’t you remember Temple of Doom? :rolleyes:

Had a party last night got a bit tipsay as they say. No hangover though which is nice. Um…Didn’t drunk dial or drunk tweet or nothing! Woooo

I started reading Charles Bukowski’s “Women” and I’m having a really good time with it. The author was recommended to me by a student a couple of weeks ago. You know, most of the time as a teacher I really deeply worry about the next generation(s), but once in a while you meet a young person (or woman, in this case) that really makes you feel like “hey, everything’s all right with the world, after all”

I bump into my old students now and then. In the last few weeks I saw two of them at their jobs. Since I work with students with handicaps and with the job market as it is, I am just thrilled.

That’s so nice to hear! :smiley:

I’m starting to wonder if I’ll be able to support myself with just commissions during 2010-11. I’ve just heard from the guy commisisoning a trombone concerto from me that he’s convinced someone in the states (the lead commissioner lives in Denmark) to com on board. Between this and a couple other projects I’ve got cooking I might be able to make more as a composer in the next two years than as a professor. Woot!

music to my ears, sir!! :slight_smile:

Yeah we all know a few of those;)

Fun news!

The lead singer of my band, which hasn’t actually really existed for 2 years, has arranged for us to play a show in 2 weeks.

I should be furious, but I’m very excited and happy about it, we’re gonna rehearse and everything, which is good, because we never did that before!

That said, I might need a new guitar, i’m quite a bit larger on top now than I was, and that strap REALLY squeezes the twins!

Oh wow, I better see if saline messes with the theramin too! :S

It seems that the musicians are making it big.

It’s a pub gig, hardly big, but I’m looking forward to it!

On the other side the guitar strap Squeezes the twins :smiley: :wink:

If your looking forward to it and you have not played in some time it is big. Well it is making you happy. :smiley:

Yeah, mine too. :smiley:

Not sure if big is the right word for me either, but bigger than I used to be. I’m certainly starting to feel recognized, even if I’m still broke. It’s a start.

I gotta say, sounds like a pretty nice problem to me too. heh-heh
