Yes. Today I sat in a chair and for the first time in my life… it broke! It wasn’t a sissy break either. It split right down the middle in the seat (from front to back) and the middle bar between the legs broke.

I wasn’t hurt at all and in fact afterward began to laugh hysterically. I was so shocked! And the glass of milk I was holding when I sat down was barely disturbed (I spilled maybe 3 drops, but most of the milk was somehow still inside the glass - no idea how I didn’t drop it).

Yes, little 130 pound me broke a chair rofl… I didn’t even get to really put all my weight on the chair - I think my butt had contact with the chair for a tenth of a second before the whole thing just crashed down. It was really funny though… we were at Jared’s for dinner and… it just happened!

Anyway I’m going to go do some important work now. I’m glad I wasn’t hurt… and it was funny. At first Jared thought it was the chair that he asked his dad to fix that had broken, but in fact it was that chair’s twin which was not broken at all before I sat in it. Apparently those chairs suck! The break was SO smooth and clean too… it didn’t look like a random break at all. Maybe I was set up! (gasp)

I started a Sims challenge today that Veela mentioned (well I didn’t really start it but I made my “family”). Looks much shorter than the Legacy challenge but still difficult. Mini Challenge: Asylum

Every character I made for it was a woman (all-female asylum!) and I already gave them all weird issues and stuff. It was really fun making them all My main girl is a pleasure aspiration which is probably my least favorite one (I have a really hard time keeping them happy with dates and stuff, and she isn’t allowed to go Downtown in this challenge), but hopefully she’ll have a fun lifetime want.

Until I was playing WoW and I started getting GRAPHICAL GLITCHES. I will not stand for my games to run better in Linux then they do on the operating system they were meant for. It’s a combination of NVidia’s and Microsofts fault but screw that. I want Windows for games and music, that’s it. Since [...]

I hate browsers! Old versions and new versions. Versions that aren’t compliant with the standards they should be. No browser is free from my wrath There is little I find more frustrating than trying to design a website that looks good in all commonly used browsers.

I want to feed them all to my cow plant. It’s hungry since it hasn’t gotten to eat in a while. *threats*

The lack of light in this apartment drives me crazy!

I have a desklamp on a small corner bookcase behind me that I sometimes use to shine some more light on my desk (which is my work area for pretty much… everything). Major problem is that it is incredibly hot and having it on for too long will make me break into a sweat x_x But the bookcase is also very small and unstable (the supporting leg fell off… it is a corner bookcase so *relatively* stable, but it is also a folding bookcase and fairly tall but not very wide, so it doesn’t have a lot of support without the leg). So I can’t put anything else there, really…

It does make me even more excited for this apartment in Brookline though. It has ceiling lights in every room not to mention huge windows that will let in tons of light during the day. Even with the shades up and the curtains aside in the middle of the day, our bedroom now is still pretty dark. This apartment has only 6 lights - 2 in the kitchen, one in the downstairs walk-in closet, one in the party, one in the bathroom, and one in the hallway. Nothing in the living room or the bedrooms

I don’t *really* need light to be working on the computer I guess - I mean, my screen is lit after all! But it still is a lot more comfortable to work with some light shining on me :/

I’m working on the new design for my portfolio website. I think it looks good so far! I also looked on craigslist and found a TON of job listings, part time and full time and freelance, that seem interesting. And it is the site with the most entry level or entry level friendly jobs I have come across… which seems silly Unlike Monster.com where my searches usually yielded like 3 real jobs and then a whole bunch of “work from home and earn $3000 a week!”… yeah that doesn’t sound like a scam at all.

I also just remembered that I need to declare my Japanese minor before I graduate O_O I better find out how to do that…

First of all here are some pics of our apartment in Brookline!

Also I wanted to touch on Blender for a second. The program is absolutely amazing. Even so, people keep complaining about the interface. Luckily in 2.5 they are rewriting the main window API so that custom key mappings and other such features will be [...]
