< > Well, I was wrong. I had been, in fact, subjected to physical labour throughout most of the ordeal. Trouble is, I'm the only one capable of such, so personal feelings be damned, get to work. So work, I did. And honestly, I'm not too much miffed about it. As much as I dislike having to work, I understand the necessity of it and why using an old tool to make usable plots of land and pl » Continue Reading
In a section that I will call || Manky and Cool Stuff I Own || from here on out, I will discuss all the cool gadgets, trinkets, and computers I own. I own...a metric ass ton of computers, each serving their respective purpose. And what better way to start than with my main machine...the Smasnug R40. Some of the more knowledgeable side of my audience and this blog post's visitors may know this exhi... » Continue Reading
< > Normally, I'm against taking days off concerning my safety or health, because 98% of the time I'm completely fine. My track record's practically impeccable, I have quite a lot of friends (that includes you, dear reader, should you find this), and in general, I've felt physically and mentally stable. There do happen some times when I buckle under pressure (see >>007& » Continue Reading
>>Week In Review < < Yeesh. That was pretty awful, ha. It wasn't as bad as last week, but it's been quite rough. Living on one Monster Energy per day left me and my bank account pretty drained. But the next week, mercifully, is going to be significantly better than the last. May holidays are incoming, and with this, a m » Continue Reading
>>Main Topic < < It's one of those days where money just seems to be burning a hole in my pocket, and the desire to buy something silly on the internet grows increasingly. The topic this time is manky old flip phones. I never had one! And Sony Ericsson has made several cool ones, the problem being they're a bit out of pocket for me, considering I want one that actually works. or i » Continue Reading
< > Well, things could have been better. I'm glad the internal storms have passed at least. That being said, confined to the inside, in the midst of a snowstorm (in motherf**king April, of all times) having already changed to summer tyres - thus unwilling to ride in, essentially a death trap with all the black ice - makes me feel a little less happy about it. But last nigh » Continue Reading
< > It seems every year, April's a curse for me for one reason or another. A friend's passing, sickness and academic loads, people I considered friends betraying my trust...so on and so forth. Happens every year without fail, and this time is no exception. The workload's become more intense, the car I drive decided to quit right after repairs, injuries galore and just the horri » Continue Reading
>>Week in Review < < Well, the sleet is gone, the weather is warm (it's above 23 degrees today, or if you're from a country that uses anything but the metric system, it's 73 degrees), and it's all good. The week was absolutely exhausting though. We've been driving a lot, attending conferences, writing stuff and just working. A hell of a lot. Ambitions do be like that. I haven't a whole lot more to... » Continue Reading
< > Today was a foreign languages conference, and I was a speaker in English. The topic that I was covering? Relations between Russia and ASEAN member countries, and what we could do to improve upon them. The people, they absolutely loved my speech. The jury? They loved the way I held it all together on stage, and the way my flawless Canadian did the talking. The host? Sa » Continue Reading
a deviance from my main planned format < > Yep, I'm buying a garage. Actually scratch that, I'm buying *four* of them. The podcast crew requires space, and the space provided by our university, simply put, ain't cutting it. So we're buying a set of garages not far from the uni itself. Although we will move to Moscow for the next half-a-year come September, the space there is much better » Continue Reading
Here's how this works, I'm going to write events that happened to me IRL first, and then yap about other things that I find interesting. >>Week in Review < < Considering how atrocious my sleep schedule had gotten within the past few weeks, the fact I'm capable of studying, and doing well, at that, considering my ADHD ass is NOT listening to any lectures. Not » Continue Reading
Is this thing on? I think it's on. Okay... Greetings, internet! The 'Net usually is not, by any means, a very welcoming place. Major fandoms can get overly toxic. Server communities can fall apart like a house of cards. And there isn't anything quite like this feel of late 00's/early '10s internet. Although I'm too young to have witnessed the life and death of MySpace, this feels like the perfect... » Continue Reading
