Prepare to call me an idiot.

 

Bowl + Bacon Pieces + Microwave = Dead Nexas

Take out the bowl and you should live.

You should try and microwave eggs, you'll be in for a literal blast.

Actually, microwaving eggs in a small bowl with a little bit of water for a short time makes perfect poached eggs. I can never get them quite right in boiling water because the whites disintegrate, but this has worked great for me.

 

But yeah, you have to be careful about the time and temperature.

I think you can cook eggs if you set the power to medium instead of high.

But srsly it is so easy to cook eggs on a stove or griddle.

I actually didn't know about this method, sounds pretty interesting anyway.

 

I was also referencing the dead YouTube series of "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" if anybody doesn't know.

I've been replaced at my job... though the boss said he might still call me on some things but other then that the new guy knows how to code in HTML and other crap.

I guess I don't cut it anymore for them... (I don't care anyways I hated that job and my Boss)

I was thinking while I was at work today that I may be suffering from depression. I'm not sure, but it seems possible. For starters, the past 3 or so weeks, I have been VERY explosive and very quick to anger. Secondly, I've been getting demotivated from pretty much everything; Terraria, Minecraft, Runescape, my ZQuest project, you name it. Lastly, I have felt for the past 3 weeks I have been "in last place" all the time and that "everyone is happier than me". I know it's not true, but the way I have seen things lately, I emphasize my weaknesses and treat my strengths as if they're completely pointless. I have been throwing a 3 week long pity party and thankfully, nobody arrived. How I long for my new therapist so he/she can actually help me get over these feelings.

Found an interesting site where you can put in a phrase or sentence in English and have it repeatedly translate it to and from Japanese until it comes out the same both ways. Example:

 

I type in the sentence "If you travel to the end of the path, seek out the treasure." After a few English to Japanese and back into English translations, it comes out as "Please seek the treasure to move at the end of the path." I don't know if the translations are accurate and if they would be good enough cryptic Engrish for use in a die-hard NES Zelda quest. You know with the completely random garbage the old men say like "If you go in the direction of the arrow." or "10th enemy has the bomb."*

 

*Technically, based on how the NES version was coded, enemies in that grouping of enemies will drop bombs every 10th kill in the drop table.

 

Other than that, had a decent day at work and offered to work 4-8PM Thursday. Shortly after I accepted, the "Oh, ****!" hit me as I realized tomorrow is supposed to be a massive thunderstorm in the afternoon. Well, at least it will make up for this week offering me crap for hours and bring my work week up to 25 hours, with 25-26 on average factoring in my mandatory half hour lunches on days I work 6 or more hours. So a stinker of a week for hours works itself out to being average hours. Hopefully that will help mitigate the 6 1/2 hours I lost last week getting sick.

Who decided skimmed milk was a good idea? 'Let's remove fat from milk so it's watery and has no flavor!'

I sometime wonder if I should get more sleep or something lately... I've been staying up way way to late for the last week and a half. I've been getting to bed around 3AM and then getting right back up at 6AM.

 

I guess this is caused by me sleeping half of my days away since I don't hardly care for being up anymore. I rather be dreaming instead of being in reality. 

[anikom15]

That happens to me sometimes. I won't feel tired. I become incredibly sharp and start creating inordinately elaborate tunes in my head.

Its Friday the 13th today... ITS MY LUCKY DAY! Yes! I don't know why but I always have great luck on these days Maybe its because I was born on a Friday on the 13th in March?

 

*Walking around very happy today!*

[Shane]

Bed bugs. Why.

 

In case you don't know how bad, imagine getting one on your foot under your desk the very moment you look away and look back seconds after.

Children! Gather around and hear this epic tale! It is about the two trees of Geradayn. Yes, long ago on that sacred hill the Eye planted two trees next to each other: one had golden leaves, and the other had green leaves. They were the first trees ever planted, and these trees could talk and walk with the Eye and view all of his creations.

For many years the trees would wander the world with the Eye, looking upon all the great things he had made, and the treasures he had found, and the cities he had built. Then one day the Eye said, 'I am leaving for a while, and I want you to look after the Earth for me. You, with your green leaves, shall give the men and animals food and water, and you, with your golden leaves, shall teach the men and animals how to survive and live prosperously for generations.' Then he left.

So the Greenwood went to the men and animals and gave then food and water. The men and animals were grateful, and they ran and followed after the tree. They played within her branches and slept in the shade of her leaves, and the tree was very happy.

Seeing this, the Goldwood became very excited to give his gift to the men and animals. The next day he went to the men and animals and began to teach them the laws of the Earth, but the men and animals did not understand and were confused. They began to ask lots of questions, and the Goldwood became nervous and stuttered and stammered his words.

Soon the men and animals became bored, and when they heard the hums of the Greenwood, bearing food and watered, they abandoned the Goldwood and ran to meet her. They played within her branches and slept in the shade of her leaves. And the men and animals were happy. And the Greenwood was happy. But the Goldwood was not happy, and he left before tears could fall from his eyes.

Many years passed, and the Eye returned.

He found the Greenwood and saw all that she had done, and he was quite proud. 'I shall plant many more trees just like you! But where is your other half? Surely he must want to see me?' Yet the tree was dying, for the Eye found him withering in a small cave, alone. He had shrunk into nothing more than a tiny, gold sprout.

'I'm sorry,' the little tree said, 'I tried to teach them, but I stammered, and they became bored, and they left me. I couldn't bring myself to look upon them ever again.'

The Eye was at first angry, but then became compassionate and said, 'Although you have failed me, I will bless you for your suffering, your loneliness, your fear. I will plant many trees that are green, and every year, for a brief time, they shall turn gold like you. All the men and animals will appreciate your beauty because it will only happen for a little while. And I will have these trees turn gold at the same time every year, so that the men and animals will know the time of year and learn the laws of the Earth. Through this, your task will be fulfilled!'

Then the Goldwood leapt with joy and uprooted himself. He ran back to his wife, the Greenwood. Soon he grew back to his old strong self and played with the men and animals. They all lived in peace and happiness for many years.

After the two trees died, the men and animals looked across the earth for food and water and shade. Soon they found many other trees and lived near them, playing within their branches and sleeping in the shade of their leaves.

And once every year, the leaves of green turned to gold.
