@Patman Apparently Sarah Palin has a "political crush" on La Pen

 

High-Rise promotional Clip. I am so excited about this movie you have no idea. I've read some spoilers about what happens and I am not disappointed in the slightest.

 

Yeah, I saw that. Not on Marine mind you, on Marion Maréchal, her niece. She compared her to Joan of Arc (yeah right lol).
All the comments were pretty sarcastic :

- One gets the supports one deserves. In a sense she is like Joan : she could hear voices telling her she was going to win.
- Could we please leave Joan the **** out of this ?
- Because we so needed to add that barjavelle to the party (slang for someone who speaks faster than he thinks).
- That' s a HELL of a compliment.
- Does that mean we can burn her with fire ?
- They' re both just as daft.

 

Same notice, but now upgraded to a winter storm warning!

Amaury = Happy

 

Double dipping into dat Guilty Gear Xrd and got it on Steam.

 

I've been on break since Thursday, and it's awesome! Don't have to worry about turning things in until January 4, 2016, and with my English requirements now out of the way, that'll take some stress off so I can focus on Math 84 more next quarter. My stress for fall quarter was divided between Math 75 and English 102; for spring quarter my stress was divided between between Art Appreciation and English 101.

For winter quarter I have Spanish 102, Math 84, and Philosophy 101. Spanish 102 obviously won't be a problem, just like Spanish 101 wasn't a problem fall quarter and IT 100 wasn't a problem spring quarter. As for Philosophy 101, I heard there's not a lot, if any, homework in Philosophy 101 from a friend of mine who was in my English 102 class. It's mostly lectures and tests.

 

Just read another spoiler for High-Rise and... Spoiler'ing it in case anyone cares. [ Even if the book was written in the 1970s ]

Spoiler

The character Luke Evans plays dies. I have to mentally prepare myself for this now.

But what is interesting about the titular building is how no one really wants to leave. The building isn't physically restraining them there. The High-Rise provides everything. There's a supermarket, school, salon, pool and gym facilities. And there's definite social separation. Those on the top floors don't want those on the lower floors to ascend to their level. And those at the bottom are hell bent on getting to the top. But there's no scene of everyone leaving the High-Rise. It's essentially a metaphor for society and what happens when society breaks down.

 

quick somebody help me think up an audrey hepburn tattoo thats not a face and not a quote. im not set on anything, just wanna float some ideas

Hey guys! Guess what? A giant monster I made got into a card game!

Spoiler

I am so very happy right now!

 

I'm still waiting for them to get the game to a decent place. I have the current build and it's....rough.

 

Yeah... Hopefully the proper CKC game comes out in the near future.

 

So I'm stuck on this puzzle. Any help?

 

Bueno rant of the week:
So I make decent money. Not great, but for a 24 year old dropout working at a restaurant, I'm not complaining about $11 an hour. I'm usually pretty good with my money except that I set a budget of 50 a week for comic books and almost always go over budget by 10-20 bucks. hopefully I can write them off on my taxes if I do become a comic writer. Anyway, I usually have enough to buy a game whenever I want, go out to eat or watch a movie when I/my girlfriend wants (occasionally we'll have to wait til next paycheck, but rarely), pay my bills on time, and pay the bills for my mom that I'm in charge of. I get paid on Wednesday, but it's usually not in my account until Thursday morning. Very rarely, it'll be late and I'll get it on Friday; I can usually tell when that'll happen because the one employee that gets a paper check won't get it by Wednesday and my paystub won't be in by Tuesday. Even when pay is late, I make enough that one more day isn't even a blip on my worry radar. Enter this week: Between getting on my girlfriend's cell phone plan (which cost me almost three times this month as my normal bill), getting her Christmas present, ours and my mom's bills falling on the same week that our new cell bill was due, getting my tags renewed to avoid a citation, setting aside some money for a new apartment, and some car issues I had to take care of, I'm more broke than usual. So I had almost no money left over yesterday to make it to today, but "what the hell, I get paid in the morning" so I covered my girlfriend's check at the store. Almost ran out of gas today because I wasn't paying attention, but I made the forty minute drive home and tried filling my tank. The meter stopped barely over 11 dollars (thankfully, gas is cheap these days!). I didn't think anything of it because the gas station is really run down anyway and that pump has issues and I figured it just broke again (don't ask me why I keep going to that particular pump, let alone that station). I get ready to order food a few minutes ago and check my bank account and see ****ing zero in it. Turns out, the reason the meter stopped is because that was all I had left and my check is not in my account. It's happened maybe twice so I'm sure it'll be in tomorrow morning (otherwise, both my General Manager and our accountant are getting some words), but that was almost really bad. My girlfriend can cover dinner tonight (we cook, I swear, just on our days off), but if I didn't have that 11 dollars, I wouldn't have been able to get gas. If I hadn't checked before ordering food, that just would have been more stressful than I would've liked. If it was something that wasn't gas and I went over, that would have been an extra 30-50 bucks in overdraft fees. It's not like I have zero money whatsoever, I have the money set aside for the new apartment, but that's saved money.

Ugh. All in all, it's really not that big of a deal, assuming the check arrives by the morning, but it's the principle of it and it's happened before. If we got paid every Friday, than that's fine. But we're supposed to get paid every Thursday (technically Wednesday is when the check gets there, but direct deposit + banks = Thursday). Living off a paycheck for exactly a week and then randomly having to make it a week and a day is normally not a big deal, but the timing of it this week sucks.

Not to mention, at my last job when I was being paid less, but they were unable to avoid giving me overtime and due to a weird scheduling thing (schedule is Monday - Sunday, but pay period is Sunday - Saturday), there's a disconnect between my scheduling manager and the accountant and I can end up with three days instead of two off sometimes like for last check (whenever I get Sunday off) and I'm not guaranteed 40 hours so I end up with slightly less here than before. I left my last job because of the stress and I was promised an assistant manager job of $30,000 (which, not counting taxes, means an hourly raise of about 4.67 for me, plus there's that cool new Manager/Overtime limit) a year for the second store that should've been open in August. However, there was an issue with the landlord of the new building the month after I started and we had to go to another real estate company for another building in another part of town that won't open until May/June at least (in my experience, restaurant openings rarely open on time). Which means I left a job where I was guaranteed an AM salary position for a less-paying AM position that was less stressful and would have arrived much earlier and I'm now getting that almost a year later at least (did I mention our franchise director emailed my boss about a possibly delay for the second store and we haven't found out what yet?) which means I'm out a potential 10 grand this year. On top of that, the new apartment is right in the middle between where my girlfriend will work and where my store is going to be and the whole purpose of that apartment is to be closer to the new job (otherwise I'm driving almost an hour to work every day) and I can't afford that apartment without the new job and the apartment is so my mom can move in and I can take better care of her and I still owe my girlfriend an engagement ring (she wants a cheap one, but I don't want to get her a cheap one) and I haven't had a cigarette in like, two months.

tl;dr: I'm having words with my boss and our accountant at our Christmas dinner Sunday.

 

Don't know how you do it broseppe.
