Whatchoo folks been doin' lately outside of gaming?

Me, I've been shingling the roof of my dad's bakery. It's a pain. :o I ache (well, not much now, but I did for a couple hours after the day's work). Spent six hours Saturday doing it, five hours "today" (though it's technically Monday now), and will probably work all day "tomorrow" (later today). Hoping to get it all of the work finished once the sun rises so I can stop being pestered about it. (In truth, my dad wanted me to help do it late last summer, or maybe it was in the fall. Either way, I put it off for a helluva lotta months.)

It was so humid today, sweat was pouring down my face. Whenever I'd lean forward to grab something, huge droplets would fall down. Had to keep drinking precious, delicious water.

Man, when I got in the house today, what did I do right away? CRAM MY MOUTH WITH KEY LIME PIE JELLY BELLYS AND BANANA LAFFY TAFFYS. Was awesome.

Also been on an old school anime binge, buying whatever I can and viewing online whatever's not available on Blu-ray or DVD (Mad Bull 34, the three Violence Jack OVAs—uncut and subbed).

Oh, and I was reminded how downright fantastic this song is:

I've been working like a dog.  Warmer weather means we're much busier, so most shifts have me going call to call without any downtime, and sometimes without a single break for all 8.5 hrs.  I've been working lots of sidejobs too.  I work as a truancy officer for one of the local highschools, and during bar hours, I work police security at a gas station and sometimes at one of the local Perkins restaurants.  Add in overtime, late calls, and court, and I've put in 65+ hour weeks for the past month and a half or so.  Doesn't leave much free time, but the paychecks are nice.

Summertime also means house projects.  I need to figure out why the fish in my pond keep dying off, and I have to find a decent solution to my algae problem.  I want to build the pond up a bit and reconfigure it a little so it looks more natural.  Right now it's just a fake waterfall stacked on top of some poorly piled rocks.  Pretty ghetto.

I just bought a gorgeous shiny rock (big thanks to those of you who helped by buying from my CV collection).  Just need to take my girfriend's parents out to dinner to ask their permission, and then I'll be popping the question and planning the chicken dinner.

I bought a "new" truck a few months ago, a 2005 Avalanche.  It's black and it's sweet, but I've been wanting a yellow one.  The cheapest I can get a full color change is about $2500.  Probably not the best investment, but I'm thinking about it anyway.  But anywho, in my first two months with the truck I've already cracked the windshield, blown a tire, scratched up the hood, and possibly wrecked the CD player.  Someday I'll have deep pockets and I won't have to worry about these things, right?

me and a friend had been hanging out, we mostly talked about our old friends from highschool. Then it led into the topic about how one was originally a member of the elks.., but was removed because he ended up a registered sex offender for being a pedo... So how did the rest of your days go fellas?

Is that how you guys do it in the US? I've seen it in movies but I didn't think people did that anymore. It's a very nice thing to do though. Shows respect and stuff, something people in general lack today.. Good luck dude!  :D

Working my job. Doing consultation work. Working on my own projects. Alienating those around me. Pissing off people I don't like. General heartless acts, etc. You know, the standard stuff for me.

Gadzooks, I really hurt myself yesterday. Had been shingling, y'know, something my body's not used to (been very inactive for a while), and then went swimming yesterday, AND SWAM MY HEART OUT, no warm-up. Musta torn my muscles doing that, 'cos last night I couldn't get to sleep because my neck, shoulders, arms, and upper back were in so much pain. Had to wait until almost 6 a.m. till I was so exhausted I just fell asleep regardless, though I also softly rubbed my muscles just before then, which I think relieved a lot of the pain.

Thanks!  Yes, it's still done in the US.  Depending on who you ask, it's not really required anymore, but my family and my girlfriend's family are both very traditional, so it's definitely a good idea.

Try out Doans.  It's a type of back/shoulder relief medication that works wonders for me.  Some sort of variant of aspirin, I think.  And stretch next time, you flabby old fart!

Been working on projects in general, studying too. Need to get my Japanese straight before I leave for Japan.
Nothing special aside from that.

I've been taking all of my Castlevania music, and making GraphicEQ Music videos, and putting them on my Youtube page
WARNING: INCOMING SHAMELESS PLUG:
http://www.youtube.com/TGMagus

I put, so far, over 154 videos.  I also remastered all of the tunes and encoded them with Lame Encoder and Flac Encoder (i'm insane).

I've also been working on my own business venture (freelance 3D Designer for parts and jewelry with CAD), as well as building a new computer system that will accommodate such business.

Socially, I've been dating.  Going out with new girls & stuff.  I went to a barbeque today and met new people, and saw some people I haven't seen in quite a long time (we're talking High School friends).  Fun stuff.
