Troper Updates II, Part II

I brew my own blackberry mead (I didn't have the chance to brew a batch last year, hopefully when they start fruiting this year...).

I would suggest that Dutch peasants would order tulips on Amazon, but peasants wouldn't be able to afford them.

Got that cord that lets me use my TV as my computer screen.

Well it's bigger, but I had to change the resolution to be able to see words on it. And mess with the sound...

I still think I want a real monitor.

Son of a bitch, accidentally dunked my paintbrush into my mug of tea.

Cities: Skylines is terrifyingly addictive. I managed to get my town to 40 thousand residents, and right now it's a massive city, half of it wooded (and chock full of lumber yards), a small farming community, a research campus and an oil boomtown.

Did you take a sip of your paint?

Key: nah, I realized my mistake as soon as I did it and went and emptied and refilled my mug.

However I am experimenting in painting tattoos on my miniatures and so far it's turning out well.

Pity, it's been so long since I've eaten paint, I forgot what it tastes like.

Ah, too be young again. ;p

...Saturday night with a powerful computer and a TV-sized screen and this is how I spend it.

Back from my camping trip with a sunburned scalp and a sore throat. Still worth every moment!

Holy shit, just learned (and confirmed) that Kerry Fucking King was in the movie Brooklyn's Finest, as a SWAT member.

I don't see the surprise.

I've heard that lead paint tastes sweet, which is why kids eating it was a real problem.

I feel like going out today to play tennis...but not alone.

One of you come out here and play with me.

I can do tennis, but I would prefer golf if you'd not object.

EW GOLF.

Mario Golf on Gamecube was one of the few games I ever sold. ;p

What's wrong with golf? :S

It's so stop and go...you hit the ball and go after it, you hit the ball and go after it...

In tennis, you're always moving. Lot more action.

Play like Happy Gilmore, then.

I've only played golf once. A buddy's dad won a voucher for a free game at a local course and gave it to him. Me, him, and a couple other buddies went out, played like 5 holes, and got bored. Then we just got drunk and recklessly drove the cart around until we were asked to leave.

Ever since getting a computer I can actually play Steam games on, I question the notion of actually buying video games, now that it's so easy to have fun for free.

When did I get so cheap...

I like throwing money at people who make games, so they can make more games.

Also, I intend to become one such person who makes games, so it would be hypocritical of me to do otherwise.

I've been waiting all day, but Yodel haven't got back to me about my rum.

I'm beginning to wonder if I should just have Amazon send a new one and have the other sent back if it ever shows up.

Speak to Amazon and say that Yodel appear to have screwed it up - they may well drop Yodel.

Well, I ordered a new phone from Motorola. Factory reset didn't help the battery. The new one will arrive in the mail, I'm supposed to take my SIM card out of my old one and put it in the new one, then I mail back the old one.

I don't see a way to take the SIM card out of a Moto X. I hope they're smart enough to send me something to remove it with along with the new phone. If not, then what?

Keep in mind if I don't ship the old phone to them within 10 days, it costs me $500. They put on a hold for that much money, which gets taken off if they get the phone in time. Of course, it'll take longer to send them the old phone if I have a hard time getting my SIM card out, having to buy some extra thing or whatever to remove it.

You can do it with a pin - just poke it into the small hole there.

Most long, thin objects like pins can be used for that purpose.
