@GM- agreed. I'm not sure why they think the update has to be in depth with verified information. It easily could have been - some containers are on their way, some are delayed. We've got a few issues, but slowly working out all the kinks. It's very odd how strict they're being about these updates.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-19T16:34:17-05:00
@Aqi69 should be Cha!'s twitter.
Also...
I have 2 cans of Royal Crown Cola to go with 2 bottles of Crown Royal !!
We're making me fat just thinking about the goodness!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-19T16:35:36-05:00
Bacon maple whiskey caramel..
Why not throw in some marshmallow?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T16:47:36-05:00
Just saw the trailer for Key & Peele's new movie they're making, Keanu. That's my new favorite kitten ever! Action kitten! Reminded me a little of Leo somehow, and I kept thinking of Leo being that kitten.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T17:16:55-05:00
Hey, Smosh Games did another EK episode! Just about to watch it now, but it's funny they made an EK video on the anniversary of the passing of the project. I doubt that was intentional, which makes it even more funny because of the coincidence.
Spamming about another project. Every single project he is in has been spammed, and it's always for one ending soon.
Powers of Tesla 2016-02-19T17:32:47-05:00
Okay that makes sense., Thanks GM.
Well I'm still not in the crate apparently, kinda bums me out but what're ya gonna do?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T17:32:56-05:00
Oh jeez, 10 minutes in and I see it's 30 minutes. Though probably 10 of that is the punishment, which nobody needs to see, and intro and end-cards.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T17:34:18-05:00
Wow, looking back to Ace's comment, there have been so damn many comments today! So busy!
Powers of Tesla 2016-02-19T17:34:50-05:00
In other news, Monday the vet is coming to put our old man down. He is more than fifteen and half years old and he seems to in pain, so it's time. It hurts to see him suffering.
Sorry to hear PoT. It's a little over a year and a half since we had to put down one of our cats. She was having lots of trouble breathing while we were eating dinner, parents took her to the pet emergency, came home alone.
@Creeper: I just noticed your "head banging on wall" post in the other place....you really shouldn't do that.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-19T18:00:19-05:00
Ace was promoting another KS project.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-19T18:04:05-05:00
Sorry, lol. I only had PoT asking about Ace as the most recent post. Some KS time travel comments I guess
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-19T18:06:07-05:00
So sorry about your fuzzy family member PoT. It's never easy. But hopefully there will eventually be another little fuzzy that you can bring in as a part of your family.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-19T18:12:28-05:00
On a happier note, I just got done making a homemade lasagna. Pasta from scratch and rolled out in my new pasta machine. I have wanted one for a long time and finally broke down and got one. Sooooo glad I did. Homemade pasta is always one of my faves , but rolling and cutting the noodles was crappy. Now to celebrate the tasty goodness in the oven with another brandy old fashioned.
Powers of Tesla 2016-02-19T18:12:51-05:00
Honestly I'm hoping I can talk my wife out of the pet parenting business. It just rips me apart when they die.
My dad talked my mom out of it when this last one goes(technically my sisters cat, but since we all still live together - I know, I really should move out but it's cheaper at home - it's still "theirs") there will be no more. Other than the ones we can scrounge together from all the fur that is EVERYWHERE.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T18:28:27-05:00
So long as they've lived long, fulfilled lives, I only feel really sad when it comes their time to go back home to Elvis. (they go to The King's bar&grill. What, never read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series?)
Thankfully, the best cure for a late fuzzy is a baby fuzzy. Then you have years of joy again, but you can never get over the baby fluffies of the past. Dang it, now I'm thinking about Fluffy! And Marble. And purr, grr, tommy, whitesox, garfield (probably still alive, but she moved down the block and only visits once or twice a year. Almost as old as Marble was) angel, freija, thor, loki, tom, denise, simone, Pikachu, Jean Claude Philippe Jacques Perez, Dark Stormy Clouds Over The Prarie At Night With Moon Peeking Through, and Bob. (the last 4 were of a cultural theme: japan, france, native american, and... bob.)
Not to mention quite a few others of Marble's descent that didn't live long enough for me to have solid memories of them. In fact, I only remember Angel because she was such a little fluffball I loved her and called her the Fluffymobile. She got sick as a baby and we couldn't save her.
But none of that changes the fact that if any of you want to get me a perfect gift, especially when I have my own place that allows pets (stupid dorm, though I could keep one at home), a Maine Coon cat would be plenty enough for me to love you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T18:36:13-05:00
Yeah, we had up to 16 cats at one time before. All outside, living in the shed with a little cat door. Oh, and my mom's cat that stayed with my grandparents that she had since college and only passed away a few years ago, Buddy, a siamese.
But yeah, looking back through all those names, I may be slightly desensitized to pets disappearing that don't stay long enough to have a lasting effect. Fluffy though... damn he was fluffy!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-19T21:33:02-05:00
Was it something I said?
Tried to find a song to put here for fun with "Was it something I said" in it, but it's hard to find one I want when no matter what all the results are for a song I've never heard.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-20T09:50:00-05:00
Awwww Creeper. Are the customers acting like asshats?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-20T13:38:33-05:00
I love going to weekend brunches, but I can imagine they'd be hell to deal with.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-20T13:50:13-05:00
Tequila? Do you mean takillya? That stuff is liquid make yo ass do crazy stupid stuff. I have learned to stay away from it.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-20T14:30:16-05:00
I'm on like the 6th time through Chuck. Finishing season 3. Sooo much awesome!!
Geist, I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to see it.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-20T14:42:53-05:00
@Trinkets: I know what you mean about tequila. About 20 years ago (when my booze tolerance level was much lower than it is now) I purchased a bottle of the tequila with the worm in the bottom of the bottle and went to a New Years eve party. I consumed 3/4 of the bottle by myself in 45 minutes.
To say I was sick for days is an understatement. Left it alone for many years but now I treat it with caution
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-20T14:43:31-05:00
If Chuck is on Netflix, I will check it out next month
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-20T15:05:25-05:00
It is, Geist, and I think it's a great series. Not one of my all-time favorites, but if you're looking for a binge, it fulfills it. With amazing villains! Chevy Chase (I started watching with dad and brother after first season, so I missed him) and Timothy Dalton! I'd suggest other things, but if Chuck is going to become a theme on here, maybe it's a good thing to check off the list.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-20T16:30:05-05:00
I still can't believe it was a show on NBC. AND nobody told me it was THAT GOOD until a year or so after it ended.
On that note, I need a nap.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-20T18:01:55-05:00
Naps are the BEST. Hopefully going to Deadpool later tonight. Didn't make matinee :-(
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-20T18:17:40-05:00
That was a quick nap Trinkets. My naps are more feline like. (They tend to last for hours not minutes)
Good Lord... i know i shouldn't complain because I haven't paid for internet since i moved to this apartment... but it's slower than dial-up right now and it's incredibly frustrating. I don't have cable - only roku, so anything i want to watch stops every 15 seconds. Even to log in to this page took forever. I want to go upstairs and see what my neighbors have going on up there and fix it!!!
And brunch is awful because A - I have to wake up and work while everyone gets to enjoy their saturday morning.
B - We're a theatre restaurant - so everyone going to the saturday matinees comes in to eat and It's at the exact same time. They all show up at once and all expect to be your top priority. It's just a solid 3 hour block of stress and panic.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-20T21:20:42-05:00
You're running off their internet? I hate to say it, but you should consider yourself lucky you have slow internet if that's the case. Though I totally feel your pain. I've had it so bad it took up to 15 times as long to upload a video as to watch it. Not even kidding. I am SO glad we got better internet (after a long time of waiting for them to fix whatever the hell was wrong). The university's internet is so good, though! Reliable and actually relatively fast.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-20T21:30:37-05:00
mmmmm... macaroni with extra cheese and some hot sauce for flavor! So good! That and an arby's coupon for a classic roast beef small meal is my supper, and it's perfect for today.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T04:30:03-05:00
Aw man, all week I couldn't keep up with you guys, and now that I'm here all day, nobody else is!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T13:12:10-05:00
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T14:48:14-05:00
Apparently not...
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T14:48:56-05:00
Let's go for a new record: 24 full hours of only me on here! The Zem show, featuring Micah!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-21T16:53:22-05:00
Another weekend done and it was raining all day. My feet and jeans are sopping wet. Bleh. I loathe that feeling.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T17:35:58-05:00
NOOOOOOO!!! So close, and you ruined it, Geist! Dang it, maybe next time. Maybe you won't leave me to my own devices next time.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-21T20:51:41-05:00
Finally saw Deadpool.
*******SPOILER ALERT*******

IT WAS EFFIN AMAZEBALLS!!!!

That is all.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-21T21:09:53-05:00
I'm jelly of you Trinkets. I missed it this weekend because of the evil that is Macy's.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T22:44:27-05:00
I saw it thursday night. It was amazing! It couldn't live up to the expectations of someone waiting for it for 7 years now and it missed a ton of opportunities for great jokes, especially ones I had 7 years to think up, but if you get rid of all the unrealistic expectations, it was freaking amazing!
Atlas Fishard 2016-02-21T22:47:16-05:00
Hello, I'm leaving a message here, Directed from facebook: https://www.facebook.com/explodingkittens/posts/1114824391895622… , I have tried support email and still haven't gotten any reply back, i have also been pledged for over 6 months and have yet to receive anything. Please help.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-21T22:56:05-05:00
Atlas, I think it meant message the project creator. Comments are never checked and things tend to get pushed down very fast into oblivion, even a year after the campaign ended. I would try support@explodingkittens.com (that was the one, right?) again and messaging elan through his kickstarter profile above, but if you did the email again first, make sure to mention it.
I don't know for sure, but support should still be around. If you have the correct email, which I'm sure you've checked anyways, they should have gotten it.
Any other tips, guys? Then again, it's the weekend at night. Doubt there'll be a cascade of tips.
In fact, I'm going to bed really early.
Atlas Fishard 2016-02-21T23:41:51-05:00
Thanks for the clarity Micah, I'll let elan know.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-22T05:38:42-05:00
Morning kittens. Another work week. And it's nearly month end so it will be more chaotic than usual.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-02-22T08:49:01-05:00
Good morning Geist.
I won't be on much today. I either have a new sickness or the one I had ramped up in a big effin way.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-22T09:16:13-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
I finally got to bring the boy home yesterday. His appetite is pretty much non-existant, but he'll eat treats and human food, so I'm wondering if maybe he's associating his food with feeling sick? I'm not too sure, but I'm going to try a few different things today. If I have to cook him food, I will, its the least I can do. Its really nice to have him home again, I missed him pretty bad!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-22T09:18:55-05:00
@Geist, I hope your day isn't too crazy! You gotta whip those mofo's into shape!
@Trinkets, have you seen a doctor? It might be something that needs some meds. I had a buddy who swore he had the flu, turned out to be pnemonia! He almost died. Seriously, if you haven't, get it checked out. I would way rather you find out it's nothing then go undiagnosed!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-22T09:59:16-05:00
I love the "I have no strong feelings one way or the other" things. Anywhere you look, they have exactly the same amount of thumbs up and down.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-22T10:01:06-05:00
So happy the puppy is home BaKhan. Pets really love us unconditionally so I can understand why you would do this for me. I don't usually get along with people who can't understand that.
@Trinkets: I agree with BaKhan. Maybe you need to see a doctor. You are getting sick more often so that might be a sign of something not so good. We don't want to lose you.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-22T10:07:22-05:00
@Geist, oh I would cook for you too! ;) Not that I would call you my pet though, my wife might (hahahahaha definitely would) get jealous! ;)
Morning kittens. Hopefully nothing too crazy happens today.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-22T10:22:57-05:00
Ok. I just reread what I last posted. I swear to you I am NOT drunk.
Powers of Tesla 2016-02-22T10:24:42-05:00
Good mornin' Kittens. Just a quick update. Our dog has been granted a reprieve, at least for a couple of weeks. Over the weekend he perked up some and doesn't seem to be in pain. Since our vet won't be available for two weeks he will be with us at least that much longer as long as he seems content. We are taking it day by day.
Powers of Tesla 2016-02-22T10:26:34-05:00
I have to get some things done today so I'll try and check back in later today.
Yay for pups perking up! As long as he isn't in pain, then all the more reason to keep on hugging him.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-22T10:37:35-05:00
Ditto what GM said
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-22T10:56:40-05:00
@PoT, thats good to hear, especially that he's not in pain right now! A dog will do anything to stay with its master. Even if we don't feel that we deserve that kind of unconditional love. Here's hoping that these next couple of weeks are really special for you both! I'm happy that you have this time!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-22T13:23:26-05:00
Yay healthy puppies!
`
Haha, geist. You could be the Corps pet, how about that? There's an opening since our friendly whale disappeared, likely to fight the evil ProF on his moon base.
`
So I went to bed at 10 pm hoping for some sleep for once. Slept 2 hours, woke up for no reason, and couldn't sleep again until about 4:30. So not only did I not get the extra sleep I wanted, I have even less than I usually do to start a week. Plus had a horrible night of restlessness. So much fun.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-22T13:54:27-05:00
I really hate it when people bring something to my office for me to fix an issue, and then sit and look over my shoulder while I do it. First of all, I was already busy with other things, but let me just drop all of that to help you! Second of all, I don't need an audience! Third, this "problem" you brought me isn't a problem; that's how things are done. Go away!
@LZ: I know that feeling. Then I get the whole "How did you do that" question line...and it's something that has been in place since day 1...that they taught me originally.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-22T14:31:10-05:00
@GM & LZ: I tend to ask how it's done because I don't want to go back to that person with the same question. Teach me how to do it and I'll leave you alone in the future.
@Geist: They're the ones that taught me in the first place though...so them asking how I did it doesn't seem right.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-22T15:17:09-05:00
Naps. Of the highest on the list of things both college students and infants revere.
Lord Zombitten 2016-02-22T15:58:23-05:00
People don't ask me how it's done. Most of the time, they don't have permissions to do what I do, which is why they come to me. If it is something they can do, I walk them through the process.
Mine is usually my manager asking me how I did something.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-22T17:28:16-05:00
Mine is me not knowing how the heck to do something and wishing I had a shoulder to stare awkwardly over to see how it's done.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-22T17:50:51-05:00
Have you ever seen the game The Zoo Race? I'd suggest watching it. Especially JonTron's video on it that I just saw. What... I... I literally can't think of one funny thing to say right now. What... the actual... This is beautiful in a really, really weird way. Seriously... Just check it out. I... no, I'm just going to stop even trying to find words. Just go see that.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-22T23:04:20-05:00
Wow, is this really such a dead day? It's so unpredictable here. You can never know whether it's going to be overflowing or stagnant, but a good rule of thumb is if I can keep checking here every half hour or so, nobody else will.
But still, watch someone play The Zoo Race. Especially JonTron's video. Thank me later. You'll try through fumbled words.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-23T04:42:33-05:00
Morning kittens. Check run day and month end close which means the chaos will increase until I start drinking or pulling my hair out.
Won't be on much but will check in when I can.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-02-23T08:45:10-05:00
@Creeper: Leo looks so peaceful. I love the way cats sleep.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-02-23T08:50:45-05:00
Yay, more Leo!
Yeah, I know how that feels, geist. Remember when I was on throughout the day? Today, I won't even be able to check in until likely around 4 pm here. Nobody's ever on that late.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-23T09:25:53-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
So I finally convinced the boy to eat last night! I boiled up some hamburger (which I have never done before, and it looks sooooo nasty! Like meat porridge. Barf!) and some brown rice and he ate it all up! I was really good to see. He ate a full bowl for breakfast again this morning. So I'm hopeful I can get him back on regular food in a few days. Good to see him excited to eat again!
Here's hoping my coffee kicks in(didn't sleep very well last night)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-23T10:31:39-05:00
@GM, you and me both. I think I have to take our cat in to a different vet, our current one sucks and there has to be something wrong with her even though he can't find anything, she howls all the time and all through the night, I barely slept as well. I love her a lot, but right now, its good that shes nowhere near me! Damn cat!
Our cat never shuts up until someone feeds him...that or he is downstairs by himself, and he watched the last person walk up the stairs. He has no troubles getting around either. He's just very....dumb for lack of better word.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-23T10:55:55-05:00
Our cat is free fed, so she always has a full food dish, her litter box is cleaned daily, she gets lots of attention, honestly, I can't figure out what her problem is! We've had our current vet look her over, but I have lost faith in him, since he mis-diagnosed my dog. There may very well be nothing wrong with her, but I swear, she must be either possessed or have more of the devil in her than most cats...
Yay!!! I'm glad the boiled meat (eek) worked! It's so satisfying to finally see your baby eating normally.
And regards to the cat- growing up I had a cat that howled a lot, and carried around a sock. It started in the later years. Seemed like she either lost a litter traumatically, or wanted to have kittens....I'm not really sure. It was odd.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-02-23T12:15:29-05:00
@Thanks Creeper! I can picture the cat walking around with a sock, too funny! I used to stuff old socks with newspaper to act as an arm replacement for my old cat. He loved to play, but he also loved to use his claws! I still miss him, had him for 20 years.
@GM- agreed. I'm not sure why they think the update has to be in depth with verified information. It easily could have been - some containers are on their way, some are delayed. We've got a few issues, but slowly working out all the kinks. It's very odd how strict they're being about these updates.

Just saw the trailer for Key & Peele's new movie they're making, Keanu. That's my new favorite kitten ever! Action kitten! Reminded me a little of Leo somehow, and I kept thinking of Leo being that kitten.
Hey, Smosh Games did another EK episode! Just about to watch it now, but it's funny they made an EK video on the anniversary of the passing of the project. I doubt that was intentional, which makes it even more funny because of the coincidence.
KITTY!!!!! Leo could definitely have done those stunts! He's too big now. :(
Happy anniversary everyone!
@BaKhan. Great news, I'm glad you and the pooch are going to be okay.
Who is this "Ace", and what on earth did he write to get KS to strike the comment?
Spamming about another project. Every single project he is in has been spammed, and it's always for one ending soon.
Okay that makes sense., Thanks GM.
Well I'm still not in the crate apparently, kinda bums me out but what're ya gonna do?
Oh jeez, 10 minutes in and I see it's 30 minutes. Though probably 10 of that is the punishment, which nobody needs to see, and intro and end-cards.
Wow, looking back to Ace's comment, there have been so damn many comments today! So busy!
In other news, Monday the vet is coming to put our old man down. He is more than fifteen and half years old and he seems to in pain, so it's time. It hurts to see him suffering.
Sorry to hear PoT. It's a little over a year and a half since we had to put down one of our cats. She was having lots of trouble breathing while we were eating dinner, parents took her to the pet emergency, came home alone.
Thanks GM
@Creeper: I just noticed your "head banging on wall" post in the other place....you really shouldn't do that.
Ace was promoting another KS project.
Sorry, lol. I only had PoT asking about Ace as the most recent post. Some KS time travel comments I guess
So sorry about your fuzzy family member PoT. It's never easy. But hopefully there will eventually be another little fuzzy that you can bring in as a part of your family.
On a happier note, I just got done making a homemade lasagna. Pasta from scratch and rolled out in my new pasta machine. I have wanted one for a long time and finally broke down and got one. Sooooo glad I did. Homemade pasta is always one of my faves , but rolling and cutting the noodles was crappy. Now to celebrate the tasty goodness in the oven with another brandy old fashioned.
Honestly I'm hoping I can talk my wife out of the pet parenting business. It just rips me apart when they die.
My dad talked my mom out of it when this last one goes(technically my sisters cat, but since we all still live together - I know, I really should move out but it's cheaper at home - it's still "theirs") there will be no more. Other than the ones we can scrounge together from all the fur that is EVERYWHERE.
So long as they've lived long, fulfilled lives, I only feel really sad when it comes their time to go back home to Elvis. (they go to The King's bar&grill. What, never read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series?)
Thankfully, the best cure for a late fuzzy is a baby fuzzy. Then you have years of joy again, but you can never get over the baby fluffies of the past. Dang it, now I'm thinking about Fluffy! And Marble. And purr, grr, tommy, whitesox, garfield (probably still alive, but she moved down the block and only visits once or twice a year. Almost as old as Marble was) angel, freija, thor, loki, tom, denise, simone, Pikachu, Jean Claude Philippe Jacques Perez, Dark Stormy Clouds Over The Prarie At Night With Moon Peeking Through, and Bob. (the last 4 were of a cultural theme: japan, france, native american, and... bob.)
Not to mention quite a few others of Marble's descent that didn't live long enough for me to have solid memories of them. In fact, I only remember Angel because she was such a little fluffball I loved her and called her the Fluffymobile. She got sick as a baby and we couldn't save her.
But none of that changes the fact that if any of you want to get me a perfect gift, especially when I have my own place that allows pets (stupid dorm, though I could keep one at home), a Maine Coon cat would be plenty enough for me to love you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life.
Yeah, we had up to 16 cats at one time before. All outside, living in the shed with a little cat door. Oh, and my mom's cat that stayed with my grandparents that she had since college and only passed away a few years ago, Buddy, a siamese.
But yeah, looking back through all those names, I may be slightly desensitized to pets disappearing that don't stay long enough to have a lasting effect. Fluffy though... damn he was fluffy!
Was it something I said?
Tried to find a song to put here for fun with "Was it something I said" in it, but it's hard to find one I want when no matter what all the results are for a song I've never heard.
@PoT- oh I'm so so sorry. That's just so painful.
Of course it's heart breaking. But knowing you can give another animal in need a nice warm home and family can help the healing process.
Exactly, Creeper. It is huge heartache when we lose them, but rescuing them.and giving them better lives is well worth it to me.
Good night. Off to bed.
The years with them are well worth the hard time between them and their fond memories.
`
Good night, Trinkets.
Ah, nice, life-free weekends. Hopefully my life doesn't go back to what it's been for some time. Though I probably actually have much more work now.
It's Saturday morning. Do I know where my liver is?
Lol. I think mine is still drunk.
Off of brandy old fashions? Tequila, yes. Brandy, no.
I.hate.working.saturday.brunch.
Awwww Creeper. Are the customers acting like asshats?
I love going to weekend brunches, but I can imagine they'd be hell to deal with.
Tequila? Do you mean takillya? That stuff is liquid make yo ass do crazy stupid stuff. I have learned to stay away from it.
I'm on like the 6th time through Chuck. Finishing season 3. Sooo much awesome!!
Geist, I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to see it.
@Trinkets: I know what you mean about tequila. About 20 years ago (when my booze tolerance level was much lower than it is now) I purchased a bottle of the tequila with the worm in the bottom of the bottle and went to a New Years eve party. I consumed 3/4 of the bottle by myself in 45 minutes.
To say I was sick for days is an understatement. Left it alone for many years but now I treat it with caution
If Chuck is on Netflix, I will check it out next month
It is, Geist, and I think it's a great series. Not one of my all-time favorites, but if you're looking for a binge, it fulfills it. With amazing villains! Chevy Chase (I started watching with dad and brother after first season, so I missed him) and Timothy Dalton! I'd suggest other things, but if Chuck is going to become a theme on here, maybe it's a good thing to check off the list.
I still can't believe it was a show on NBC. AND nobody told me it was THAT GOOD until a year or so after it ended.
On that note, I need a nap.
Naps are the BEST. Hopefully going to Deadpool later tonight. Didn't make matinee :-(
That was a quick nap Trinkets. My naps are more feline like. (They tend to last for hours not minutes)
Good Lord... i know i shouldn't complain because I haven't paid for internet since i moved to this apartment... but it's slower than dial-up right now and it's incredibly frustrating. I don't have cable - only roku, so anything i want to watch stops every 15 seconds. Even to log in to this page took forever. I want to go upstairs and see what my neighbors have going on up there and fix it!!!
And brunch is awful because A - I have to wake up and work while everyone gets to enjoy their saturday morning.
B - We're a theatre restaurant - so everyone going to the saturday matinees comes in to eat and It's at the exact same time. They all show up at once and all expect to be your top priority. It's just a solid 3 hour block of stress and panic.
You're running off their internet? I hate to say it, but you should consider yourself lucky you have slow internet if that's the case. Though I totally feel your pain. I've had it so bad it took up to 15 times as long to upload a video as to watch it. Not even kidding. I am SO glad we got better internet (after a long time of waiting for them to fix whatever the hell was wrong). The university's internet is so good, though! Reliable and actually relatively fast.
mmmmm... macaroni with extra cheese and some hot sauce for flavor! So good! That and an arby's coupon for a classic roast beef small meal is my supper, and it's perfect for today.
Aw man, all week I couldn't keep up with you guys, and now that I'm here all day, nobody else is!
Maybe this will draw someone out: http://9gag.com/gag/aX9nee9
The trap is set!
Apparently not...
Let's go for a new record: 24 full hours of only me on here! The Zem show, featuring Micah!
Another weekend done and it was raining all day. My feet and jeans are sopping wet. Bleh. I loathe that feeling.
NOOOOOOO!!! So close, and you ruined it, Geist! Dang it, maybe next time. Maybe you won't leave me to my own devices next time.
Finally saw Deadpool.
*******SPOILER ALERT*******
*********************************
IT WAS EFFIN AMAZEBALLS!!!!
*********************************
That is all.
I'm jelly of you Trinkets. I missed it this weekend because of the evil that is Macy's.
I saw it thursday night. It was amazing! It couldn't live up to the expectations of someone waiting for it for 7 years now and it missed a ton of opportunities for great jokes, especially ones I had 7 years to think up, but if you get rid of all the unrealistic expectations, it was freaking amazing!
Hello, I'm leaving a message here, Directed from facebook: https://www.facebook.com/explodingkittens/posts/1114824391895622… , I have tried support email and still haven't gotten any reply back, i have also been pledged for over 6 months and have yet to receive anything. Please help.
Atlas, I think it meant message the project creator. Comments are never checked and things tend to get pushed down very fast into oblivion, even a year after the campaign ended. I would try support@explodingkittens.com (that was the one, right?) again and messaging elan through his kickstarter profile above, but if you did the email again first, make sure to mention it.
I don't know for sure, but support should still be around. If you have the correct email, which I'm sure you've checked anyways, they should have gotten it.
Any other tips, guys? Then again, it's the weekend at night. Doubt there'll be a cascade of tips.
In fact, I'm going to bed really early.
Thanks for the clarity Micah, I'll let elan know.
Morning kittens. Another work week. And it's nearly month end so it will be more chaotic than usual.
Good morning Geist.
I won't be on much today. I either have a new sickness or the one I had ramped up in a big effin way.
Good Morning Kittens!
I finally got to bring the boy home yesterday. His appetite is pretty much non-existant, but he'll eat treats and human food, so I'm wondering if maybe he's associating his food with feeling sick? I'm not too sure, but I'm going to try a few different things today. If I have to cook him food, I will, its the least I can do. Its really nice to have him home again, I missed him pretty bad!
@Geist, I hope your day isn't too crazy! You gotta whip those mofo's into shape!
@Trinkets, have you seen a doctor? It might be something that needs some meds. I had a buddy who swore he had the flu, turned out to be pnemonia! He almost died. Seriously, if you haven't, get it checked out. I would way rather you find out it's nothing then go undiagnosed!
I love the "I have no strong feelings one way or the other" things. Anywhere you look, they have exactly the same amount of thumbs up and down.
So happy the puppy is home BaKhan. Pets really love us unconditionally so I can understand why you would do this for me. I don't usually get along with people who can't understand that.
@Trinkets: I agree with BaKhan. Maybe you need to see a doctor. You are getting sick more often so that might be a sign of something not so good. We don't want to lose you.
@Geist, oh I would cook for you too! ;) Not that I would call you my pet though, my wife might (hahahahaha definitely would) get jealous! ;)
Morning kittens. Hopefully nothing too crazy happens today.
Ok. I just reread what I last posted. I swear to you I am NOT drunk.
Good mornin' Kittens. Just a quick update. Our dog has been granted a reprieve, at least for a couple of weeks. Over the weekend he perked up some and doesn't seem to be in pain. Since our vet won't be available for two weeks he will be with us at least that much longer as long as he seems content. We are taking it day by day.
I have to get some things done today so I'll try and check back in later today.
Yay for pups perking up! As long as he isn't in pain, then all the more reason to keep on hugging him.
Ditto what GM said
@PoT, thats good to hear, especially that he's not in pain right now! A dog will do anything to stay with its master. Even if we don't feel that we deserve that kind of unconditional love. Here's hoping that these next couple of weeks are really special for you both! I'm happy that you have this time!
Yay healthy puppies!
`
Haha, geist. You could be the Corps pet, how about that? There's an opening since our friendly whale disappeared, likely to fight the evil ProF on his moon base.
`
So I went to bed at 10 pm hoping for some sleep for once. Slept 2 hours, woke up for no reason, and couldn't sleep again until about 4:30. So not only did I not get the extra sleep I wanted, I have even less than I usually do to start a week. Plus had a horrible night of restlessness. So much fun.
I really hate it when people bring something to my office for me to fix an issue, and then sit and look over my shoulder while I do it. First of all, I was already busy with other things, but let me just drop all of that to help you! Second of all, I don't need an audience! Third, this "problem" you brought me isn't a problem; that's how things are done. Go away!
@LZ: I know that feeling. Then I get the whole "How did you do that" question line...and it's something that has been in place since day 1...that they taught me originally.
@GM & LZ: I tend to ask how it's done because I don't want to go back to that person with the same question. Teach me how to do it and I'll leave you alone in the future.
@Geist: They're the ones that taught me in the first place though...so them asking how I did it doesn't seem right.
Naps. Of the highest on the list of things both college students and infants revere.
People don't ask me how it's done. Most of the time, they don't have permissions to do what I do, which is why they come to me. If it is something they can do, I walk them through the process.
Mine is usually my manager asking me how I did something.
Mine is me not knowing how the heck to do something and wishing I had a shoulder to stare awkwardly over to see how it's done.
Have you ever seen the game The Zoo Race? I'd suggest watching it. Especially JonTron's video on it that I just saw. What... I... I literally can't think of one funny thing to say right now. What... the actual... This is beautiful in a really, really weird way. Seriously... Just check it out. I... no, I'm just going to stop even trying to find words. Just go see that.
Wow, is this really such a dead day? It's so unpredictable here. You can never know whether it's going to be overflowing or stagnant, but a good rule of thumb is if I can keep checking here every half hour or so, nobody else will.
But still, watch someone play The Zoo Race. Especially JonTron's video. Thank me later. You'll try through fumbled words.
Leo needs to get fixed pronto
Is he starting to try to give you kittens already or something?
*sigh* he's having teenage dreams...
He's so cute and sweet and falls asleep in my arm like a baby. But sooner or later... a pixelated image is what should be happening.
I'm so happy the animal book was funded. It looks so beautiful.
Here's Leo! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ehr4jrycxy6bepx/2016-02-03%2020.15.30.jpg…
Morning kittens. Check run day and month end close which means the chaos will increase until I start drinking or pulling my hair out.
Won't be on much but will check in when I can.
@Creeper: Leo looks so peaceful. I love the way cats sleep.
Yay, more Leo!
Yeah, I know how that feels, geist. Remember when I was on throughout the day? Today, I won't even be able to check in until likely around 4 pm here. Nobody's ever on that late.
Good Morning Kittens!
So I finally convinced the boy to eat last night! I boiled up some hamburger (which I have never done before, and it looks sooooo nasty! Like meat porridge. Barf!) and some brown rice and he ate it all up! I was really good to see. He ate a full bowl for breakfast again this morning. So I'm hopeful I can get him back on regular food in a few days. Good to see him excited to eat again!
Morning kittens!
Here's hoping my coffee kicks in(didn't sleep very well last night)
@GM, you and me both. I think I have to take our cat in to a different vet, our current one sucks and there has to be something wrong with her even though he can't find anything, she howls all the time and all through the night, I barely slept as well. I love her a lot, but right now, its good that shes nowhere near me! Damn cat!
Our cat never shuts up until someone feeds him...that or he is downstairs by himself, and he watched the last person walk up the stairs. He has no troubles getting around either. He's just very....dumb for lack of better word.
Our cat is free fed, so she always has a full food dish, her litter box is cleaned daily, she gets lots of attention, honestly, I can't figure out what her problem is! We've had our current vet look her over, but I have lost faith in him, since he mis-diagnosed my dog. There may very well be nothing wrong with her, but I swear, she must be either possessed or have more of the devil in her than most cats...
Yay!!! I'm glad the boiled meat (eek) worked! It's so satisfying to finally see your baby eating normally.
And regards to the cat- growing up I had a cat that howled a lot, and carried around a sock. It started in the later years. Seemed like she either lost a litter traumatically, or wanted to have kittens....I'm not really sure. It was odd.
@Thanks Creeper! I can picture the cat walking around with a sock, too funny! I used to stuff old socks with newspaper to act as an arm replacement for my old cat. He loved to play, but he also loved to use his claws! I still miss him, had him for 20 years.
