Finally beat the indie rogue-like-like shooter Paranautical Activity, which is pretty friggin' difficult. (It's basically first-person Binding of Issac.) RNG is kinda needed because you really need those damage drops to beat that final boss, but I finally did it!
I didn't even get the scissors either, which I always thought was absolutely nessesary (it cuts item prices in half). Basically I just conserved bombs, and when I got to the end boss i just hammered on it and threw sixty bombs at once, taking out her lackies (she summons some of the previous bosses) in one go. They dropped enough health (and I had the magnet, pulling it right to me) that I could survive to the end of the fight. Though I went into the room with no armour and 2 hearts, which suuuuuucked, because I never found the sandals but had a ton of speed drops, so I kept running into the acid.
Game glitched out in the credits though. Welp, the new patch is out so time to learn how to beat it all over again!
Picking up my first Car in three years tomorrow. A mighty 1299cc Ford Ka! In purple as well I shall, to quote the inbetweeners, "Be drowning in the clunge". Ah yes independence is sweet.
That was, in fact, the entirety of the story. However, whenever they talk about missing RIT on the show they say "nothing quite like the warmth of a burning couch."
I just got my first professional screenwriting gig. I have to do a polish on a friend's film that has actual money on the line. Woo! Something I can put on my resume!
I have a degree! Pretty stoked about that one considering I was told it wasn't worth my trying to do my stats. Now to eat a massive sandwich and do some strimming.
I just got an amazingly good email bearring bad news from the band Titus Andronicus. I don't want to post the full text here, b/c I don't know that he'd want everything he said to be public (it was a very angry rant about current forces in the vinyl market) but I will quote him when he said "may whenever we next speak be after the fall of Capitalism."

They mailed it back with a Cease and Desist order.
