That sounds like hell. And really fucking stupid as a "fair play" approach to getting rooms. Just rent one of those massive motor coaches and live at the beach for a week.

Passed off as "fair play." Clearly an excuse to save money on IT and human resources. The big problem last year was that about a third of the people couldn't get the form for hotel selection to load properly on their computers. I don't know everything about computers, but I'm pretty damn sure that's a script issue. I loved that the solution apparently this year was random queueing. There are some bloggers who tried to act like that would actually fix things and talked out of every side of their mouth when called out on how that really didn't make sense. Turns out the form wasn't an issue after all. Everything else was.
Plan changed. We managed to snag a room in Mission Valley going through the hotel's website (whodathunkit?). Not as cheap as it would have been through onPeak or during other times of the year, but it's not too bad. Shame it's so far away, but is close to the zoo (seriously, the San Diego Zoo is fucking awesome), and there's a Convention Center shuttle and there's Uber, and I'm still on that waitlist for my top six choices, a lot of good it'll do. The waitlist seems like it's going to come with it's own share of problems this year, so yeah. Not optimistic. Also, after several days to think and read twitter and the like to try to make some sense of what happened, it seems like there might have been fewer rooms offered in the official sale than last year. I can't confirm this 100%, but like I said, the hoteliers are petty bastards, so...makes sense. One last option is that closer to the con, the inflated rates for any remaining rooms at the popular hotels near the Convention Center do come down, so maybe we can catch something before we can no longer get a refund on the Mission Valley hotel. Point is we're still going, and while we're both still pretty pissed about how things went down, we'll make the best of things.

At least the bright sides are pretty bright. Being able to go and not being too fucked over beats not going at all after so much time and effort.
I went to the zoo there a long time ago.

Oh tell me about, made work a pain, thankfully I was able to sit down while I did some welding. Totally worth it though, got three trys - rugby version of a touchdown - in like 45 min. It was only a dropin scrimmage but I impressed the coaches and got an invite to play ina couple tournements in September.

Good going. All I know of the game is my brief scannings over the years while flipping channels past ESPN8 (The Ocho!) and the EA Sports game on the Genesis I bought used in the 90s. LOL Oh, and the version played with cars on Top Gear.

Every time I run, I eventually stop and ask myself why the fuck I'm running if there's no bloodthirsty dog on my ass.

Roommates that don't fucking clean up after themselves. Was with my buddy for less than a week and said fuck it. His cat puked on Fathers Day and as of me leaving on Thursday, still wasnt cleaned up. Before I moved im his now ex girlfriend would come clean up after him - dishes, vaccum, litter box, everything. So glad my former landlords didnt rent my suite out yet. Moved back in there and so glad I did. Rather deal with traffic and shitty drivers than a horrible living condition

Donald Trump rapes and murders children. And that's just the worst thing of the million bad things he does. People know this and want him as president. My countrymen are retarded.

Dominoes parmesan crust is a crime against me. Their new deal for a $7.99 large 3 topping every day is fantastic, but the overwhelming parmesan flavor rendered my entire purchase disgusting. I went with a half pepperoni, half ham and pineapple, but damn near the only thing I tasted was parmesan. It's crazy to get a large pizza for under ten bucks but I guess it's not if it tastes worse than Hot Pockets.
And I don't even dislike parmesan. Whenever I order one of those huge ass single slices of pizza from an authentic pizza place that's like 1/4th of an actual pizza, I'm more than happy to sprinkle some of that fresh parmesan and oregano they have sitting on the counter on top of my slice. There's something about the process Dominoes implements to infuse the parmesan into the crust that makes it soul-sucking. I usually scoff at people who don't eat their crust, but I cannot eat this crust.
I like a neutral crust. That's what a crust is supposed to be, right? A base upon which toppings are placed. It's the cornerstone of the pizza and the first rule of pizza should be that the flavor of the crust should never overpower the rest. Has anyone else experienced this offensive crust?

We get the thin crust with the parm/garlic white sauce, with pepperoni and spinach. That's the only Domino's we ever get.

The thin crust has always been better. I would've gotten that but I prefer my pepperoni on a traditional crust. Never again.

Today sucks. Its the fifth anniversry of the death of a friend. He battled depression after his girlfriend died in a car crash going to watch one of his hockey games. Battle addiction and ultimately killed himself. He was pretty open with his depression and addictions but it overcame him. Thought him making the NHL may have helped him but the spotlight wore on him.
Rest in peace Rick, miss you and love ya man.

Sounds awful. Glad I don't have that. Karate on, bro. I remember cracking my heel in a graduation ceremony after being flipped beyond the padding. They expected me to Daniel-san that shit until it was over. Nope! So, I failed kung-fu.
America has now shown me that we are dumb, as a collective nation. I have no faith in most of you fucktards. Kabong is probably still one of those depressing jerks. The fact that we have Trumpcunt and Clintoncancer as our only viable presidential candidates, makes me pine for the global nuclear destruction fear shilled in movies like 'WarGames'. I'd rather the nuclear winter be already upon us, than bother with either party now.
But, pressed, my vote grudgingly goes to Hillary, because I know Adolf Trump will destroy us - because he's an ADHD retard with anger and impulse issues - while she'll mostly maintain the status quo of underachievement we've come to accept.

Whelp, two ribs are cracked and some muscle strains in my chest. Really odd to say, I love playing despite getting hurt. Felt like I was missing something since I stopped hockey and tried other things out, but it was the contact II was missing. Feels great to run around the field and tackle guys, then have copious amounts of beer after. Solid brotherhood within rugby. Ive been invited by a team in New Mexico, to play with them in Montanna, at a tournement, next summer. Should be fun. Honestly either option is a scary one. Trump is more open and upfront about being a warmonger. Still waiting for him yo come out and say that America's been punked Sounds awful. Glad I don't have that. Karate on, bro.

Trump is a fascist. He will make Hitler and Mussolini look like pikers. Regardless of the context, the word "honest" should never be used when speaking about him, he lies 100% of the time. I'd rather have aggressive lung cancer than wish him on this nation.

I remember back in like '03 when I first heard that Lex Luthor became President in the DCU and thought the idea that people would actually elect a known power-hungry villain was completely ridiculous. I was naive then...

Kind of on the fence for keeping the ps4 I got. Haven't opened it yet and really trying to figure out how much I would actually use it. Only time my ps3 is on is to use Netflix. Honestly getting bored fast playing video games.

Got it going again and then it died a second time. Piece of shit had been on less than two hours. Hour of that was restoring it to defaults, rest of it was updating it. Checked google and this seems to be a common issue with the Uncharted 4 special console that I got.

Think I would rather break my ankle over pulling a tendon in it. This sucks almost as much as a cracked rib.
