For the husbands
Don’t forget to buy your wives flowers or other affordable gifts. The same way you pursued your wives before you were married is the same way you must give them attention in the marriage.

Eve’s gaming computer died. Or, it may just be injured. Apparently I can wait for the PSU to ‘sync up’ or do some transformers thing… who knows, whatever, the point is that life has blown a great big hole through me.
I’m going to have to do a lot of overtime soon. This will aggravate me incredibly… who wants to get one day off, and even then, filled with kids? Eve doesnt’ want me to be gone on saturdays. It just sucks. The only way an apartment would’ve been a good idea is if Eve were to be working - with her finances alongside mine, we’d be making so much that I’d say “Oh, it was time for a new gaming PC anyway.”
Now it’ll take me three weeks overtime to save up for… but of course, the $3,500 I’m spending on a car tomorrow won’t help.
dsfragrag, these are the dog days. I will get through them.
Oh, but in an uncharacteristic stroke of luck, our backup PC can actually play diablo. It isn’t pretty, but it can run.
New hobby: trading TF2 items for games. Here you see Stacking for some items I hardly care for - and hey, in the process of this, I may today even be trading a mask for a medic taunt.
Oh, how terrible, and I’m sure all $20 billion of that is a waste for anyone who hates the war.
Realistically, the government doesn’t want soldiers to pass out from heatstroke. My place of employment spends $1,000s to protect us! The horror.

Their warning held true: these storylets are rather disturbing.

’ - was settling down to a well-wrought dinner with their neighbours when there was a knock at the door. The cook answered, and was disembowelled for her pains. It was Jack!
Jack then strode into the dining room, a knife in each hand, and gave each and every diner at the table a new smile. The servants, also, were not spared.
This writer has seldom seen such carnage from a single attack. That Jack would savage an innocent family at dinner is terrible. But much worse is the efficiency of the operation. Many Jacks are foiled by honest citizens or their own ineptitude. This Jack is a born killer. We can only pray that they will be caught soon.’
The knife screams bloody revenge in your hand. You will quiet it soon. Few lights in the rookery. Candles cost money. The shutters in your lantern will recall the darkness should you need it. The rookery will be crowded, but the farther reaches are damp and filthy and half-abandoned.
Speed. You must be quick. The first few were simplicity itself. They were drunk or honey-mazed or crippled or half-dead. The knife, sticky with gore, wants more.
The rookery is waking now. You’ll have to leave soon. The Spite mob is slow to rouse, but a relentless beast. Two gin-sodden wrecks arguing over a stone bottle. Two sure-handed slices and silence.
Time to go. On the way out, a priest ministering to the suffering. They won’t suffer much longer. The priest didn’t look shocked or angry when you twisted the knife up under his ribcage. Just sad. Time to go.
My car has essentially broken down; it makes loud noises when running. So! I’m going to try a solution that my dad has suggested to me, but I’m just not sure if it’s going to fix the problem. I hope it does, because…
I don’t have a lot of money. Yes, it’s true. As of this writing, I have $2,300 to my name. Big problem: rent’s due in about a week. Bills too. Yeah. $150 ticket I haven’t paid from that time I went to Boston (PAX) and drove through three fast lanes without realizing you need some special sensor for them.
Even worse, I actually just spend lots of money at the store for our general life-stuff we need and I figured, hey! I’ve got enough money, I should get eve a new good desk. And so I did, and I was happy with that, until this car problem arose. (I hate to say I might have to return the desk)
So now I’m kind of running around with my head kind of chopped off. I have to hope that dad’s solution will work tomorrow, because I can’t do a new car. I’m pretty certain I just can’t do a new car.
I hate to say it, folks, but if we don’t go back into a serious recession of spending, Eve and I may have to move back to our families for some time.
We have a few ideas up our sleeves to see what we can do to save some money, but I’m just not certain of the future any longer. At worst, I start from nothing and build myself back up with my cute little job I have. It’s really not so bad, that little job there. Eve, on the other hand… may not be so happy.
I can’t add another game to my list of browser-based games to play. However, I find Idle Worship refreshing.
Unless I get LMS in d2n this town, I’m going to stop playing. As well, Backyard Monsters is nice and we’re in war and all that, but there’s nothing I can do for the war and recently the devs behind BYM made it so that guys like me can’t just infinitely expand - which is a good thing - and I think I’ll use that as an excuse to play a lot less.
At the end of everything, all that really matters is Fallen London/EBZ anyway.
As for Popmundo, I’ll make a point today to set up everything for my alt accounts (and main) and I’ll officially log in once Crimemundo comes. If it doesn’t within two months, then my characters will die of natural causes and I’ll consider myself dead to Popmundo.
update: Idle Worship is amazing, everyone on my Facebook play it plz
(eve loves it)
You read 971 words per minute.
That makes you 388% faster than the national average.(( This explains a lot actually ))
You read 362 words per minute.
That makes you 45% faster than the national average.
Makes sense, though I typically read far slower since I don’t like to blow through a book so much as savor it.
You read 448 words per minute.
That makes you 79% faster than the national average.Hmmm. I only got a two out of three on the test, but I don’t skim. Sometimes my brain just has issues picking up every last detail. Usually I’m good with these things, though.
You read 631 words per minute.
That makes you 152% faster than the national average.I know this lol. I also read 92.63 pages on average per hour of a normal sized hardcover book (:
You read 419 words per minute.
That makes you 68% faster than the national average.
Weeee
That’s interesting. For all I read and write, I’m rather slow. Another result..
I increased the font size of what I was reading. This is kind of interesting, though, because I think I read at the speed of my current mindset? Right now I do feel very relaxed. When I have an article, however, I really just go into information-sponge mode and I believe(d) myself to be quick with that. I think another factor is that I read and understand everything as I go on. I’ve complained to Demi many times regarding why I hate poor grammar so much: it really throws me off. A run-on sentence destroys me, the improper usage of there/their.
Idle Worship is a new game I’ve tried out.
It’s actually pretty cute and seems to be more game-like than the calculators Zynga’s (been) producing. I only tried it out because it was called “idle” worship, meaning someone could visit once a day and get supreme benefits. Nope, but you can at least moderate yourself.
I can’t say I’ll play it forever, I’m sure I’ll get bored quickly. But for what it’s worth, it’s a very cute little game. My only complaint so far is that they’re just walking me through EVERYTHING. I understand there’s a lot to the game, but I really don’t need to be walked through the leaderboards or searching for a player. x.x Still, if you’re bored enough, give it 15 minutes.
