Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

MY INTERVIEWER STOOD ME UP

MY INTERVIEWER FUCKING STOOD ME UP

The entire building we were supposed to meet in — it was the right one, it had a sign and I had a map — the entire building was LOCKED and EMPTY.

I got there twenty-five minutes early, because it'd snowed and I know I have a propensity to get lost. I waited until nearly twenty minutes after the appointed time.

Forty-five minutes standing in the snow and the cold, freezing my feet off and wondering what the hell had happened. No phone call or email to say that something had changed. Just... silence, and me whiplashing whenever a car pulled into the parking lot.

FUCK THIS SHIT

STOP TROLLING ME

Don't give into despair just yet. You can't expect to find a job easily, especially these days.

@Aoede: that sucks. Just a case of either bad instructions or an incompetent interviewer. Don't give up hope.

Alcohol & RTS games seem to mix surprisingly well. *hic*

Sorry to hear that, Aoede. Hopefully it was an innocent mistake.

Apparently it's ridiculously easy to hook up extra monitors, so I'm going to try playing Machinarium now. smile

Dellschau was a butcher by trade who after his retirement in 1899 filled at least 13 notebooks with drawings, watercolor paintings and collages depicting fantastical airships.[1] He lived and worked in an attic apartment in Houston, Texas. Dellschau's earliest known work is a diary dated 1899, and the latest is an 80-page book dated 1921-1922, giving his career as an artist a 21-year span. His work was in large part a record of the activities of the Sonora Aero Club, of which he was a purported member. Dellschau's writings describe the club as a secret group of flight enthusiasts who met at Sonora, California in the mid-19th century. One of the members had discovered the formula for an anti-gravity fuel he called "NB Gas." Their mission was to design and build the first navigable aircraft using the NB Gas for lift and propulsion. Dellschau called these flying machines Aeros. Dellschau does not claim to be a pilot of any of the airships; he identifies himself only as a draftsman for the Sonora Aero Club. His collages incorporate newspaper clippings (called "press blooms") of then-current news articles about aeronautical advances and disasters.[2]

According to a coded story hidden throughout the drawings which made up his notebooks the Sonora Aero Club was a branch of a larger secret society known only as NYMZA. Despite exhaustive research, including search of census records, voting rosters, and death records, nothing has been found to substantiate the existence of this group except for a few gravestones in the Columbia Cemetery where several of the surnames are found. It is speculated that, like Henry Darger's "Realms of the Unreal", the Sonora Aero Club is a seeming fiction by Dellschau.

I will make a novel out of this, I don't care if it's good or not. I must write a novel about this.

edit: Well actually I do kinda care if it's good or not. But still. MUST WRITE.

Ha, first thing I thought of was Henry Darger.

So now I have it hooked up so that my netbook screen is off, because Machinarium got confused and fucked things up due to that... so I'm typing at the keyboard of my netbook and having it show up on the desktop monitor. Pretty sweet.

This time it will work, hopefully...

I really should set up a bank account that I can buy things from without my parents snooping. My mom is trying to figure out her Christmas gift by looking at my purchase history.

I think it's her trying to get back at me for finding out my gift early because the bank was like, "Oh, hey, your mom just registered a prepaid card in your name."
