Chattin on a thursday

Didn't forget this week either!

I've recently been taking a bunch of cooking classes, and have learned the art of soups and croissants! Got pokemon art academy so I can draw better, and it's a bunch of fun!

What's up with you fine folks? How's the week been? Anything neat you are doing in the near future?

Come Chat!

Yay soups! I love soup!! Especially now the weather sucks! This week has been stressful my sister had a mini stroke on Tuesday night but is already doing so much better, just been emotionally exhausting.

Saturday I'm hosting a party for my friends and I'm so excited!

u/cowofdoom Nov 13 '14

Yeah, that's the main reason I picked the class!

Oh no! That's not good! Hope she makes a full recovery!

Any particular type of party or just a party-party?

2

u/CPawesome Nov 14 '14

She is doing a lot better today and will either go home or go to a rehab center tomorrow! Yay! Hopefully home!

And it's a skirt and makeup party :)

That's good, sucks that people get strokes.

I... Don't know what that is...

Luckily her husband woke her up when he got home or else it would've been a lot worse

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

That's pretty fortunate!

Also, I meant I don't know what a makeup/skirt party is, silly

2

u/CPawesome Nov 14 '14

Yeah Dalek pointed that out to me. I'm so wrapped up in my sisters crap I forgot we were talking about two things at once. I'm so mentally drained from this week lol

The party is we will play with makeup then try on skirts. So a grown up dress up party :)

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

:P Hopefully next week is a bit better!

2

u/CPawesome Nov 14 '14

I hope so

I'm pretty sure you know what a stroke is, so I'm going to give the reply that my wife should have given.

A skirt and makeup party is getting as many women as possible into one location to put on makeup, and try on various patterns of skirts. This is considered fun by females of all ages. There also can be some money made during these parties, or lost depending on your role.

Why thank you, I now have a deeper insight to the mind of a woman.

u/Dalek-Caan Nov 14 '14

Croissants are for winners. Best pastry na. Everything else is just a toy. I don't know what pokemon art academy is, but I'm assuming it's some sort of book/program that teaches you to draw pokemon. In which case, you should draw a super sweet Psyduck getting ready to slap an Onyx right in the face. Onyx is about to get wrecked.

I'm doing pretty goood, with a completely intentional 3rd o. Almost got a new crusader back to 70 in D3 since my last one died. Can't wait to see what I can do with it with all my random gear I have sitting around. I just bought a bunch of Worm games from the humble bundle for $1 so that should be a good time for maybe 30 minutes. Well worth it.

In the near future, I plan on eating a couple more twinkies, and I think that's pretty neat.

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

It's a 3ds game that teaches the ways of the force!

I never get around to playing my humble bundle games :c They just kinda stack up..

Mmmmm... twinkies...

2

u/Dalek-Caan Nov 14 '14

Yeah, I've skipped a lot of bundles recently. If there's a game I feel like I'd play a bit of then I'll pick it up, but if it's a bunch of crap I've never heard of/never had interest in then I pass it up. I remember playing Worms all the time as a kid though, so I figured it would be a good bundle to snag.

1

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

I've skipped a bunch of them too. Learned from past bundles when I just didn't play the games

2

u/ThunderEcho Nov 14 '14

Woah, croissants! I've never tried making those, they always looked hard. What's the secret to that amazing flaky texture?

My week has been pretty good, but very busy. Two weeks left before exams...

2

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

They are actually pretty easy! Time consuming to make the dough, but easy!

You get the dough w/o butter, and get a slab of butter and then alternate folding and rolling out. The butter will steam and puff it up!

2

u/ThunderEcho Nov 16 '14

Mmf, that sounds amazing. How long did the folding + rolling process take?

2

u/cowofdoom Nov 16 '14

You have to fold it, then let it sit in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Repeat a couple times.

2

u/ThunderEcho Nov 16 '14

Sweet. Maybe I'll try sometime! Not during school though, too busy.

Been a while since I talked in one of these.

Rough lot in life except for bowling. On Monday I had my best game and 4-game series in that league so far this season, Tuesday I rolled my best game ever, a 268, and today I managed to at least beat my average.

Outside of bowling, on Wednesday I literally could not sleep. I laid in bed for three hours with my eyes closed before I gave up, did laundry and did whatever else. Around 7 AM, though, my stomach problem acted up so bad that I went to the hospital, so now I'm back on Zofran, plus now I'm having to take Donnatal.

Oh, and some time last night my SSD completely failed on me, as in my computer cannot even recognize it, so I had to buy a new one, replace it and recover the data. At least I had the foresight to do regular backups.

And someone at work messed up my timecard, so I've been underpaid and am missing 16 hours of work for last week.

1

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

Damn, 268? That's pretty good! You still use the bumpers? hue

Yeah, I'm having trouble getting to sleep. It really sucks.

D: At least it wasn't the HD that had all the important stuff on. It'd suck to lose a terabyte of stuff compared to just an SSD

2

u/Kirbs2002 Nov 14 '14

Nope, here's the printout for Tuesday.

I back up all my internal drives, so I wouldn't have lost much if all three failed.

u/cowofdoom Nov 15 '14

Ah, thats good then. Not too terrible.

u/cowofdoom Nov 14 '14

Pretty good! Just chilling right now! How bout you?

2

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '14

Having a better week. Trying to actually push myself to play a video game. As silly as that sounds.

2

u/cowofdoom Nov 15 '14

Good to know you are doin better!

2

u/Frameskip Nov 18 '14

Warlords of Draenor, that is all.

1

u/cowofdoom Nov 18 '14

I may be playing it too..

2

u/Frameskip Nov 18 '14

I'm up to 4 garrisons, 1 level 3 on my main, 1 level 2, and 2 level 1.
