Got lots of schoolwork done. Calc is really tough, and economics and film study readings is just tedious.
In my off time I played Apocalypse Rising 2 with a chill dude I met there. Loads of fun, we're a great two-man zombie survival squad.

Watched Notre Dame versus Navy in college football, the game wasn't as competitive as I would've liked, but after the game there is a nice tradition where the teams show respect for each other by having both alma maters played, with each team being respectful while their opponent's alma mater played.

Preparing for if I still have a stuffy nose tomorrow doubling up on the congestion medication since one pill which it says to take isn't working.

Hope that it works out, Dayzee.

Concert and the Patriots game. Will it snow tonight?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Nov 17, 2019 6:48 pm

Not sure about the Boston area (since it takes 48 minutes to get to it from my hometown) but when I was outside earlier it began to flurry a tiny bit. I did just check the weather and it said no snow for us.

It feels cold enough for snow in NJ but none forecasted.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Nov 18, 2019 3:06 am

We might get rain and snow on Saturday but most likely it will just be rain. **** global warning...

Off to town hall to get another car tax paid sticker - collect`em, trade`em….

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Nov 18, 2019 10:27 pm

Mentally cursing my professor for the homework we got which took me EIGHT ******* hours to do because the ******* questions kept ******* going on and on and if you made on little mistake, you got the whole ******* question wrong.

Can you tell that I'm aggravated?

That sounds rough... sounds like when I tried intro chemistry at uni, before I switched to a college diploma.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Nov 19, 2019 3:53 am

Because it took the 8 hours, my whole routine got pushed back which I am scrambling to do now. it is almost 4 in the morning and I just started it up.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 3:14 pm

Off to the Town Hall to pay my taxes. And they want to see Sophie; guess claiming her as a dependent was stretching it.

JamesTCat · Post by **JamesTCat** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 8:49 pm

Getting back to work on Kingkaiger.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:36 pm

Deciding where I want to go out to eat tomorrow before we go to see "Frozen 2" in theaters.

Vertigo Fox · Post by **Vertigo Fox** » Fri Nov 22, 2019 11:56 pm

Hmm... do you have Chicken Chef down there?
They do fried much better than KFC, and they've got more stuff besides.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Nov 23, 2019 11:20 am

Pretty sure that it is a Canadian thing only since when I looked it up, it gave me "Chicken Chef Canada" but I can't be too sure. Never heard of it before now.

Then again, I never heard of the restaurant that I DID decide we were going to until a few years ago. "Gregg's Restaurant and Tavern", which is a Rhode Island tradition according to the slogan.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sat Nov 23, 2019 7:45 pm

Went to "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" and then to a Thai Veg restaurant. Nice night out.

Spending this Sunday studying GZDoom's coding and modding capabilities.

I spent the majority of the day at my aunt's house making ornaments to hang on my grandfather's memorial tree in Slater Park.

I'm calling crap on my calc homework. After grinding away at it all weekend, there's still several problems that, for the life of me, I cannot solve correctly. I know the material well, and every method of checking verifies that my responses are right, yet Cengage keeps giving a big red X on all my submissions. Either Cengage messed something up, or math is broken.
Whatever, I'll ask the professor tomorrow. But tonight I'll be seeing power series representations of functions and Taylor series in my sleep...

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Nov 24, 2019 9:40 pm

I'm studying, doing grocery shopping, and watching Wrestling with my friends!

My sympathies. I hate those computerized programs. One of my law classes used one such program for the quizzes, two months in the professor announced that there was a bug in the program, and it had marked questions incorrect that were actually correct.

In a few hours I am going to a friend's wake.

Post by **SeanWolf** » Mon Nov 25, 2019 1:37 pm

Worked on a review then did some work on finishing the first chapter of another book I'm working (A Sci-Fi Horror story set on a space colony).

… which is why I militantly avoided those programs. We had similar problems at my school, and students were rightly enraged. I won't mention any company names since someone else whose forum name begins and ends with the letter "n" already did that. (Ka-Hint, Ka-Hint....)

Taking a small break from Kingkaiger. I will get to writing again starting this Wednesday (November the 27th.)

Preludes to dental implant surgery. Real low on the entertainment scale.

My sympathies, West that sounds <shudder>, I’ve never liked dentists.

I spent the first few hours of the day at my friend's funeral then when I got back I slept for 6 hours because funerals are draining.

I hope you got some comfort from the funeral and the sleep. Funerals are so draining, even more so on the eve of a holiday. Best.

Now I am getting ready for Thanksgiving. I am helping my mother make the lasagna and the pumpkin cheesecake (We're part Italian so of course we have lasagna).

Ash Greytree · Post by **Ash Greytree** » Thu Nov 28, 2019 12:20 pm

Our Thanksgiving get-together with the extended family is in about two hours. I’m looking forward to all the good food and catching up with my cousins.

Veg-Sausage and Saurkraut, lotsa stuffed peppers of different shapes and colors, and answering phonecalls from family, colleagues, former students, and assorted chums.

JamesTCat · Post by **JamesTCat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:42 am

Doing Black Friday Shopping. Then ordering in advance of Cyber Monday.

Stayin' home after a quick gym visit. Tooooooooo much traffic and craziness.

Recovering from stuffing my face with a ton of food yesterday.

Today I modded a custom avatar into Beat Saber. The result is a lot better than I expected considering I had no idea how to do this before today (but it took a while to figure out). There a still little aesthetic changes I can make, like adding tail and hair animations and fixing the shoulder joints, but that's for another day.

Here a level playthrough I recorded with the avatar in action.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Nov 30, 2019 12:22 am

That looks like it came out really wonderful! Awesome job on it!
