The Adventures of the Shpydar
(this Saturday night edition)

So after much drinking, i started to get a hankering to go to a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I am a big fan of Rocky, but haven't been to a show since college (20+ years now). However, reason prevailed, as i realized that it probably wouldn't be the smartest thing in the world to drive into Manhattan with 10+ drinks under my belt.

Instead, i walked down to the nearby 7-11 to get some more alcohol, while listening to the RHPS soundtrack on my phone. I get to 7-11 and am perusing the beers when i a lady crackhead comes up to me. I pause the music, and she starts rambling about how she's having a hard time, yadda yadda yadda. She's holding a scratch-off lottery ticket in her hand and is clearly a crackhead. I tell her to move along, i ain't buying whatever she's selling, and give her the "brush-off" hand motion. I turn back to the beer fridge and hear her yelling about how "you probably be selling weed! you be selling weed!"

It was the best compliment i have received in months.

Now i am back home, drinking a beer and listening to my Meat Loaf "Bat out of Hell" LP (yay vinyl), wishing i did sell weed, because i would love a bong hit right about now.

So how's your Saturday night going?

@the_shpydar Free of all alcohol and drugs as it should be, like every Saturday night.

In all seriousness I do drink, only whiskey however, but I cant until my recovery from surgery, and recovery from second operation are done. So...not for a good few months yet.

And having lived in a house with drug users for a year, well separate groups of users for two years, no. Keep that crap as far away from me as possible. It's one thing for "weed" until I get flashbacks to the users in school who attacked me while high on a regular basis using the stuff.

Then in my first year of uni I had one in my residence who was on LSD, so you can imagine that at 4am when I'm trying to sleep. Or how I had to watch over one of them who drank vodka AND smoked weed at once and nearly died choking on their vomit. Or the ones who took....ecstasy I think, and flooded the kitchen and ran - leaving it to me to clean up.

Then in my second year in addition to a drug dealer, not the best place to live I admit, I had one who was a violent crack addict.

So you know. My opinion on drugs is pretty cut and dry because of all the people I have known who sued any form of narcotic substance, only 1 wasn't a psychopath when using.

Alcohol though, yeah whatever. Turns out I don't taste vodka after my housemates spiked a ramen dish I was making. Though they did try to give me a shot glass of absinthe while barely able to stand up saying it was "Ribena". Can't tell why I didn't take it. It wasn't obvious.

I could drink them all under the table though. They found that out on one of our final days when I was drinking straight whiskey from the bottle while they were watering it down in shot glasses and getting wasted in record time.

Wimps.

Anyway, time for me to stream Mario Maker because why not I'm bored.

THAR once used to be a pokestop in front of THESE roo'z house, which was swell since if I didn't FEEL LIEK driving to one, could just hop over THAR, swipe and catch and rev up daily TOAST. Now, somehow, said pokestop has revved up it's fryers and became a gym, as swell as dah community center next to it becoming a pokestop, so nose THESE roo must defend dah fort at all costs, even from my cousin, who is on a different team and TOAST!

New Super Mario Bros for the DS turns 12 this year. Not so new anymore, huh.

By the way, the shell power up on that game is one of my favorite on the series.

@the_shpydar Good LP! Not the biggest Meat Loaf fan, but I do own a copy of Bat out of Hell.

maybe she had some cheeseburgers

_{...or something else to offer}
its a win win situation. you could have missed out on dinner and a quick date.
brings new meaning to being a sucker for cheeseburgers.

...you do realize plenty of people live in places colder than the north pole. (example: oymyakon) plus the south pole is MUCH colder.

Meanwhile, last night in my place Surabaya, poured with Heavy rain + Thunderstorm. It was very shocking midnight.

Don't be silly, everybody knows the North Pole is colder.

It's part of Santa's defense mechanisms.

That way nobody can spy on him.

plenty of people^{[citation needed]}

Yeaaaaaah, the south pole is like 40 degrees colder.

I'm still complaining about the cold in my town, and it's way warmer here than the North Pole.

DAT was some weirdly case of diet dr....TOAST!

Dah matches weren't loading, Fire Emblem Heroes is stuck on an endless loop of auto battle turns, and NL needed to burp out dah rest of THESE roo'z diet dr.....TOAST!

@Meowpheel To answer your question, the wind feels like a billion tiny icicle needles piercing your skin. The sky is dark and grey, and it's snowing!

Sounds like a lot of fun

it really does sound fun, and i'm not being sarchastic.

Imagine the wind inside planet Neptune. It blows with speed 2400 km/hour !!

Pendulum will be releasing a new album march 16, just a single day before my birthday.
Truly the best gift ever

@Anti-Matter Neptune is nothing compared to what I'm facing.

Anyway, I ate sooo many chillies, but it was good, it's cold outside and I'm sweating inside. I expect tomorrow will be a less pleasant day, but it's worth it.

Sounds like what I dealt with in Chicago...except it was hitting me in the face....Also I didn't have water-proofed gloves then, so....yeah. >_>
