Square Haven

It’s been a while since I wrote an aside. Anyway, this is super incredibly old news to everyone else, but I only discovered today that Square Haven is dead. I really am quite upset about this, which is stupid since it’s been closed for months now and I didn’t even notice. Way to be observant, fool.

I still hate T-Mobile.

Continued from this crap.

It turned out that the reason why my phone wasn’t working all those months ago was because I had to get the sim card replaced… since apparently, by switching over my plan, it somehow died? I don’t know, I don’t get it either. So I had to pay $20 for a new card, thus losing most of the information I had on the old one. Great.

I haven’t really used my cell phone in the intervening period. Of that initial $50 I put on the phone, I still have like $48 left. The original plan was to have that money stretched out until I leave for Japan in November.

Then BAM, I get a text message from T-Mobile reminding me that my minutes are going to EXPIRE in a few weeks. lolwut? What is the point of prepaid minutes if they expire in a month anyway? I should have just stuck with my stupid fucking plan. At least then I wouldn’t have been hit with a $200 cancellation fee, and I’d have way more minutes to play around with. If anyone working at T-Mobile had told me that prepaid minutes expire, I wouldn’t have left my plan. ROAR. Thanks a lot T-Mobile support staff.

Fuck you, T-Mobile. Worst service of my entire life.

“A stunning new report just issued by the Bush administration finds that for under 2 cents a day per household, Americans could get 300 gigawatts of wind by 2030. The report doesn’t mention that this would require adopting policies the Bush administration opposes. But that’s what elections are for.”

Myanmar officials would rather chase around a US reporter to make him shut up about the deplorable aftereffects of Nargis than actually do something about the fucking situation. This is the cherry on top of all the other bullshit that’s been going on down there.

Oh yeah, and there’s another storm on the way.

The first Eva movie has finally been pirated. DVD-quality rip complete with sub track. I downloaded it myself and watched parts of it, so rest assured, it’s the real thing. Excuse me as I wet myself with glee.

Yes. Exactly. I don’t know which one is me in that comic, Gabe or Tycho. Or maybe the ice cream man.

I scrapped the old WP idea and decided to resurrect ampersands this way. Much thanks to the husbife who puts up with my insufferable hiatuses.

This is kind of old news but I didn’t find it until today: the FFRPG core rulebook has finally been completed. Now I just have to get a crew together… or try and drag my old friends together to play. Hm. I wonder which will be more difficult.

Eight teenagers charged in Internet beating have their day on the Web. I really don’t know what to say about this, even though as soon as I read the heading I knew there was some… relevance to my own life. I saw the video on the news, and it’s as disturbing as you’d expect it to be.
