The unofficial bad day thread.

[Artemisia]

Valerie,

I'm sorry to hear that

[Captain LeBubbles]

My predictions (that I didn't bother mentioning here, so no worries if you don't know what I'm on about) following Obama voicing support for same-sex marriages was right- checked the paper today, and the Tell-It column was purely inundated with people calling him a bad Christian (for... what, actually listening to the 'love your neighbor' part, or considering the part in the first amendment about not basing our laws on personal religion?), calling him wishy-washy (because everyone knows if you think something, you must always and forever think that. Obama's remarks about his 'evolution' toward showing support are similar in places to my own experiences, and as I've said before, I'm living proof that you can go from being a whiny smug little homophobe to being an (gasp!) open-minded person), and accusing him of trying to win votes (by... showing support for a large chunk of the population? Well, yes, that's rather what elections are for. They're all for supporting the guy who wins votes by supporting them, after all).

I should stop reading the Tell-Its. It's just making me lose my faith in humanity (because the rest of the comments were just whining about things anyway).

[Zanosuke Kurosaki]

Hope you feel better soon, Art.

Eh, at least it's extra cash, right Val? ;

Yeah, it's kind of sad how much politics can bring out the worst of people, Captain.

My bad thing for the day: I hate you, DC!

[Captain LeBubbles]

Aha! I found you! *pounces*

(You are about to be friended by a space pirate. You would do well to reciprocate.

If... if you don't mind, that is.)

[Zanosuke Kurosaki]

Sure, go for it.

[Captain LeBubbles]

Sure, go for it.

Asdfghjk! My 4 year old dvd player, already showing some signs of age (disc tray immediately closing again after opening) has tonight decided it's going all out in its quest to die. It now refuses to open the tray again at all (despite sitting there with the tray open by itself for half a minute before I went over to see why it keeps turning itself on and off). Stupid thing, one of my B5 discs is in there. So now I get the new experience of seeing how much I can disassemble a DVD player without destroying the disc trapped inside. Ack-pfft! *said with much spittle* =P

This rocks...glad someone pointed this out as I haven't seen this particular take on the New 52 pointed out yet.
You missed a whole point though: he IS the league. It was pointed out over and over again that he was and is the heart and soul of the league(pointed out multiple times over the years no less!)

There is a manual release mechanism. Look for a little hole just below the tray. Switch the machine off, straighten out a paper-clip and poke it into the hole. This will release the tray enough so you can pull it out to get at the disk.

If there isn't, putting it upside down and punching it (far from hard enough to make a dent) right in the spot where the gear moving the tray is may do the trick (I did this after finding out I couldn't disassemble the player far enough without damaging the disc...). Worked for me, YMMV. This player belonged to my parents, my father had already used much more violence to try to convince it to open the tray. As far as I know I'm not related to Fonzie.

[Captain LeBubbles]

I'm feeling so grumpy and disagreeable today. I want to lock myself in my room and hide from the world till I get hungry but I have to go pull a double-shift at work in a few minutes. *poutyface*

No such mechanism on this deck. My method of persuasion was simple: Phillips screwdriver x1 + patience.

[Valerie]

I have so much to doooo. ;_;
I have two drawings to finish and another to start, if the lady ever sends me a reference photo.
I have to put more plywood down on the kitchen floor.
I have to check and see if Morgan wants something to eat.

That last one is most important, and I'm only posting here to take a break and eat something, myself.
"Something" being ramen and t-- I JUST REALIZED THAT RAMEN IS CHICKEN-FLAVORED AND ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT VEGETARIAN, FUCK. I am the worst trying-to-be-a-vegetarian ever. *headdesk*

In short, I fail at life and bite off more than I can chew in at least two senses of the phrase. DX

[Captain LeBubbles]

Why would you want to be a vegetarian? Vegetarians can't eat bacon.

[Artemisia]

I can't be a vegetarian, so. . .

Sigh...it's been a long day. Our database crashed and my tech guy is working on getting it back up and running.

I've been having severe GID episodes again. I really wish I could have my surgery right now. What makes it worse is that I hate Mother's Day. It just drives home I can't have children
