OOC Raves

Even without the Harbowl factor I'm glad the 49ers are getting to go, even though I hope they play like crap. 

Ellodin

It would have been a perfect story and end to the season if Tony Gonzalez had got his, and see how that ended!

(In all honesty, if the 49ers win, I'm gonna hate hearing comparisons between Kaepernick and Montana/Young.)

ETA: if the Ravens win on missed field goal(s) by Akers, I'll be super angry.

Kazu

I was hoping that Manning would end up in the Superbowl, but that went down the toilet rather quick. Still, I'm glad Ray Lewis is getting one final shot.

Erasariel

inb4 Sarapis has to lock down the forum to stop superbowl arguing

Oceana

This Blue Monday is going pretty well, considering the lack of sleep (weekranks contest), and the huge delays in public transport (frost and snowfall).

Chryenth

Rave: Exams? *What* exams? Those exams I've DONE? Finished for the next ~6 months? 

Wooooooooooooooooooo.

Also rave: Bacon sammich. Wooooooooooooooooooooo.

Jonathin

Go Lion- oh wait... why can't we have anything nice?

Chryenth

161 podcasts of either 15 or 30 minutes in length.

This is going to take a lot of train journeys, or a -ton of walking.

Nakari

Fefeta finally bit the dust. I cannot express how happy this has made me

Trilliana

Rave: My composition class. I didn't even have to change my rough draft from week 1 for week 2 because the Prof loved it. 

Rant to go with: precalc... I bloody hate it. I can't wrap my brain around it, so I'm probably going to fail it a second time

Anaidiana

rave: 

computer has been de-virused, external has been re-organised, and everything's been streamlined overall. I my hubby!

Zeon

Ingress so much fun

Panpardus

So just a bought a newish car gone from the Commodore VX to the Toyota Aurion.

Toyota looks like this, except its a light blue:

Commodore looks like:

Both of these are not my actual car.

I just learned that you can install your Steam games at a portable hard drive.

60 GB recovered!

Alyssea

GIMP is so nice compared to Paint (for someone who doesn't do enough art to justify paying for Photoshop). Should have gotten this earlier.

Achilles

Macau was a blasty blast.  Minimum tables of $75 everywhere?  Like 5 times more people gambling.  Got to some good portuguese food including these awesome egg tarts.  Also unlike Las Vegas, it was a billion degrees outside, even got to walk down some black sand beach that's supposedly super rare.

Mannimar

I started giggling at the Quotes thread and woke up my dog who immediately jumped on me while I was still laughing.

New laptop. Went from a 9in netbook to a 17in laptop... numpad, oh how I missed you. Win 8 is different. Only complaint I have so far is Skype being fullscreen

That campfire smell and how it sticks to your clothes. Mmmm. I wish they made a cologne called Essence of Burnt Wood.

@Trilliana, you can get the desktop version of skype that you're used to. Microsoft is just trying to push that horrible skype app. THOUGH. put your mouse on the top left corner or your screen, move it down until you reach the image that is skype, click+hold, drag it out a little bit, and it will only take couple inches of your screen.

@Mannimar zomg I didn't know about that second option. I just downloaded the desktop version earlier because someone was trying to send me a file and the app wouldn't let me receive it.

Mannimar

It's great. I have skype all tiny when watching netflix or netflix small while on Achaea.

Not to mention your kind of marriages are still not legal in most of the world.

Upgraded our internet speed from 512kbps to 2Mbps. It is a beautiful thing.
