Afternoon.

 

[Axver]

Charlotte.

You know, the one good thing about 40+ degree weather is how fucking quickly washing dries.

 

[Slopsy]

I wanna come. Who's willing to sponsor me?

I'm planning on swimming there.

 

[Axver]

I'm planning on swimming there.

At least you'll get fit.

 

[Slopsy]

At least you'll get fit.

Yeah see, I've nothing to lose!

Oh god, I saw a dugong at the swimming pools this morning. For serious. I will never complain about gaining weight again!

 

[Reggo]

Oh god, this thing could get addictive.

another, more addictive game (though I've beaten it twice): Boomshine

Sorry, forgot to tell you I was in Auckland today!

 

[Reggo]

dugong?

 

[Slopsy]

Sorry, forgot to tell you I was in Auckland today!

You're no dugong!

Also if that was the case, you also forgot to tell me you were Asian.

 

[Slopsy]

dugong?

 

[the tourist]

5 hours left to get my homework done. 80% done.

Ugh. What exactly do you have to do?

 

[Axver]

Oh, well, you see ... when I passed through Kuala Lumpur on the way back from Europe ...

 

[the tourist]

Ugh. What exactly do you have to do?

Well, I still have to take an online quiz. I had to write 4 pages so far (2 pages on a time in my life when I felt like an outsider, 2 pages on how I feel the service learning/community service portion of my class will help me write the final research paper for the class), and then read everyone else's 4 pages and comment meaningfully on each one. The class is half online, half in class, so there is a forum for this stuff.

Sounds pretty tedious At least you've got the writing part done!

Now it's just the studying for the quiz and taking the quiz in the next five hours. The problems is Mrs. Tourist isn't home and her printer isn't working and I need to print the stuff that I need to study so I can have it right next to me while taking the quiz. And I don't have my own printer, and I can't figure out how to fix hers.

 

[the tourist]

But yeah, that writing/reading/commenting part was fucking tedious.

 

[Axver]

Exactly what I was going to say.

Fucking technology!

 

[the tourist]

The writing part was easy though. I'm a damn writer.

 

[Axver]

Speaking of tedious -y things, we've now passed 41C here.

 

[the tourist]

Fucking technology!

I know, right? So in the middle of this stressful afternoon, I took a bath to ease my nerves on it since I'm done with everything I can do until she gets home (she'll get home in another hour or so).

Speaking of tedious -y things, we've now passed 41C here.

106F? That's like how it was here in good old Seattle last year for a shitty week where unless I was working, I wore about as much as those girls in the bacon bikinis. Of course, what I wore wasn't made of meat, so there's that.

Still raining here; you know what to do.

 

[the tourist]

Not that I plan to, but when was the last time I hit 100+ posts in 2 straight superthreads?

 

[the tourist]

I have an hour to waste.

15d

What a let down.

I'm living via cold drinks and ice cream.

We're expecting it to get even hotter too.

And I am currently listening to one of Axver's banes.
