The Good News Thread

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

Well, waiters and waitresses make less due to the fact that they receive tips. I gotta say, Australia does that much better: pay the waiters and waitresses actually liveable amounts and just get rid of tipping entirely (most of the world probably does it this way too; I only learned about it when I visited Australia).

My new studio (We're developing the basement, and my parents let me set aside a room for music) just got the carpet in. By next weekend everything will be painted and I'll be able to move furniture in.

I'm so excited you don't even know.

Not really good news, but I played "Beer" (It was water and we didn't even drink it) Pong for the first time today and..

well, do you remember that scene in Chronicle where Andrew has two in one hand and uses his telekinesis to make them bounce in?

Yep. I did it. No powers. :D

Bad news: I have ants.

Good news that far outweighs the bad news: Having ants means I don't have termites (which is a way bigger problem, and much more common in my area).

Yay.

So today I met Ashleigh Ball at a Hey Ocean! concert
She said that she just got back from recording Season 4 of MLP. And then she was like oops I'm not supposed to give out spoilers. But it is good knowing that they are currently working on the new season!

My hip joint has stopped being all sore and inflamed. Not being able to run for a month and a half really makes you appreciate being able to do it again. I still have no idea what I did to mess it up that badly though.

Congratz Alycs! Good luck at national!

Woo! My dad OKed me buying an expensive videocard with my build! The total cost is ~$900, and it will have 8gb of RAM (which RAM prices are going sky high right now), an AMD fx-8350 so I won't really have to worry about processor power :3, and a Radeon HD 7850 gpu, so I'll be able to play just about any game on maxed out settings with almost no problems :D super excited for this build!

I would LOVE a mixing desk. But I haven't the space right now and I'll have even less in a couple weeks when me and my family move house.

On the up side, litterally every room in that house has a door to seperate it from the other rooms. That kinda privacy is exactly what I like in a house.

oh, I have a Numark controller. It's pretty dang fun to mess around with. I'd be pretty wise to get some other stuff like some CDJ's if I wanna get any work as a DJ.

Oh, on topic.

I did my drama assessment for this term today. Some of you probably know that I'm having some grief with that subject, but I managed to get on top of things and I actually ended up doing pretty good on stage. So yeah, that's a load off my shoulders.
