OOC Raves

Sybilla

It's my birthday! =D

Finally started to settle in my new flat, which is lovely by the way, there's lots of birds on the rooftops outside and it's all warm and bright and big!

I'm going to have my life ruined by Sims University, which I just received, and I'm off to see a play later. Life is good today

Lianca

Happy Birthday @Sybilla!!

My rave is that Sohl only has 3 weeks(ish) until he graduates from boot camp!!

I can be PM'd for his address if anyone wants to write to him and relieve some of the misery/stress. I know he'd appreciate hearing from folks.

I was looking through the NaNoWriMo genre rankings. 

On Saturday, Erotic Fiction was at 2nd or 3rd. Today, it's second from last.

I'm thinking they climaxed too early.

Fitz

I've got an interview next week for the volunteer coordinator position I applied for! I am excited but nervous, because I haven't interviewed for anything since July.

As an aside, is it bad of me that I take relish in the idea of getting paid to make unpaid people do things?

Wilhelmina

Got a job today. That was nice. 

Not as nice as knowing we're in Egg Nog Season now, though.

Kyrra

Melbourne Cup!

I put $2 in the kitty for our shopping complex doing the $2 sweepstakes. I pulled Red Cadeaux from the hat and scored $10 for coming in second. Woo.

OMFG I have to make egg nog now, but I can't really afford the bourbon.

I'll figure something out.

Kresslack

I can finally keep my pipe lit without it dwindling out on me as quickly as an Achaean cigar.

@Eld Woah dude, you make eggnog? Can we hang? I'll bring my hula hoop. We can listen to music, hoop, and drink nog.

Yes, but I think we're on opposite coasts, so we'll need to figure something out. In the meantime, I just use Alton Brown's recipe. The availability of eggnog recipes should not be a reason not to hang, though.

"From the way you talk in lectures, you'll definitely get a first."

Context not required. Ego boost accepted.

(From a fellow student so pinch of salt, but it made me feel better about things.^^ )

My university choir is performing Verdi's Requiem in a couple of weeks.  We've been rehearsing since October, but yesterday evening was the first time we had the orchestra with us (until now we had been accompanied by a couple of keyboards).

I was expecting an absolute shambles, because we've been rehearsing with different conductors, and the choir were in a different venue from usual - but the sound of the orchestra (who have a brand new bass drum) in conjunction with the choir was incredible!  I am looking forward to this concert so very much.

Also, the choir master was standing next to me singing tenor, and told me afterwards that I was sounding really good and that he'd been following me throughout.  I consider myself one of the weaker singers, so this was really pleasing to hear.

Jozlyn

Woke up to the sound of a pan flute Great way to start a gray day.

Jonathin

Kyrra

I gave my notice and resigned today.

This is a rave but it sure doesn't feel like it.

Jozlyn

@Kyrra I don't know whether to like this or what. Really I want to give you a hug and say "Hell yeah girl, you're free!"

Things will get better I'm sure. You are a fantastic lady.

I'll just put this here

Not worth staying, all things considered. Gotta look out for yourself or people will use and abuse.

Blujixapug

Oh god. We stand upon the dawn of a new era. OOC Rants is about to transition from Kyrra hating her job to Kyrra hating her search for a new job. Brace yourselves.

I needed new material to rant about anyway.

Valdus

We're here for your @Kyrra!

you could always rant about the lack of rants

Trilliana

Over 12k words, second time doing a NaNo and I hadn't gotten this far  before. Eeeee. I don't care if I really reach the 50k words, but knowing I'm actually getting the story down makes me so friggin happy!

Kresslack

Thank you, Louis C.K. for entertaining me while I hunt, and making it not so boring.

Sherazad

I have a feeling today is going to be a painless day.

Jozlyn

Still sick but had to come into work anyways.

Walked into this when I entered my office.

My co-workers thought it would cheer me up. I love these guys.

Jovolo

Oh music, you so pretty. 

And if it were even possible to fall in love with a voice, Jeff Buckley succeeds pretty damn well at making that so. 

Don't mind a bit of Pearl Jam unplugged either. 

I like being happy!

Peace.

Aitox

Tomorrow I will be leaving for 6 glorious days of sun, sea, and sex (possibly with woman too, depending how prevalent Tequila is).

Melodie

Thanks to the boyfriend, pending more extensive tests to get everything working more seamlessly, my very very dinky laptop (256 megs of ram, 4 gigs of disk space) is now connected remotely to his computer, and through some black magic sorcery of his, I can now run mudlet much better, and I can now actually access and use things like a browser, skype and so on. It's no new computer, but it's a huge step up from what I had before.

I'm so excited. I might actually be able to lead raid defenses better now, spar better, less crashing and crap. Obviously still some issues to work out, but super excited!

Sorry gaiz.

ETA: Sorcery. At least I got to expand my collection of esoteric one-off solutions. Like the raster engine in recent versions of QT having performance issues over remote X11 which is fixed by forcing use of the native graphics engine. E.g., "mudlet --graphicssystem native" is smooth remotely over the LAN whereas without the switch the output's more jerky than an epileptic in Gotham.

Boosteya

Money for new computer parts, crazy neighbour moving out; I shall have music again! And get my singing-voice back in shape.

@Gamoneterik, I'm looking at you.
