Visiting someone I met in 2008 on FM2 then taking a train to Paris.

Can't believe I'm actually doing this. Funny thing is that it's in the middle of a school week the week before Thanksgiving.

Smoke 'em while you got 'em, I guess.

78 USD for a flight from NY to London?! Did you book it in 2008??

My first comic book in a very long time. Last one I bought was a number 1 foil cover Spider-Man about 15 years ago maybe even longer.

The follow-on story from Big Trouble In Little China written by Carpenter.

I also managed to pick up a print by one of my favourite Instagram artists based in London. Super Shinobi. It’s an A3 fine print hand numbered of Spirited Away. Bought it for my Fiancée as she is a huge fan.

I get various airline discounts.

I don't live in Newark. I'm flying from SFO to Newark for free, then paying for the ticket to London. The return ticket from Paris should average $100. I haven't booked that flight yet, but I'll be flying into Washington D.C from Paris and then back to SFO, just as I did with the SFO to Newark.

The lodging is going to cost more than my airplane ticket.

I decided to buy PC2, just the day 1 edition. I want to wait to see what the DLC will be like before considering the season pass.

Omron E4 Intense. TENS device (Transcutane Elektric Nerve Stimulation).

Hopefully it will work and it will give my father some pain relief.

Yet another attempt to give up the cigs. I don’t chew gum usually but the patches were 20x the price for just a weeks worth.

Just stop buying them, if you have none you will not smoke. That's how I quit.

All these gums and patches are just gimmicks.

I don’t have any currently but when I have a craving I end up going out to buy them. If it was that easy for me to give up I wouldn’t need the assistance of nicotine aids. I’m weak against nicotine and I enjoy smoking so quitting is hard.

 

[nowcontrol]

If it was that easy.....

It can be that easy if you really want it to be. There is no point in making a half arsed attempt to quit. DON'T GO TO THE STORE FOR SMOKES.

 

[W3H5]

DON'T GO TO THE STORE FOR SMOKES.

It’s clearly not that easy for me, I’m weak against nicotine. Like I explained to my wife, try starving yourself for 3 days and then see how badly you want to eat, that’s how I feel about nicotine when I don’t smoke only the craving isn’t from my stomach.

How desperately would you want visit a restaurant or shop for a meal or even a snack after days of not eating and having no food at home? The only difference between food and cigs is that the need for food is instinctive and the need for nicotine is chemical.

I upgraded my copy of overwatch to GOTY version for $10.

There is another difference,without food you will die but without cigarettes you will be healthier.

That's true, but the feeling isn't any different for an addicted smoker.

Can't wait to get back to Maui!

I just contacted the property owner to request they cancel our reservation.

 

[35mm]

And an even longer wait. :/

It gets easier after a couple of years.

A few hundred km's up the road and a night here.

Another few hundred km's up the road and 3 nights here.

To get home.

Just need to sort out the car rental for the trip there (Sydney) and we're all sorted.







Looks like that next watch purchase has to wait a little @Mike Rotch

I had no idea that the North American release of this is actually cased like the SNES North America originally got. That's a nice touch and makes sense. Over here they are releasing the Japanese/European style model.

 

[TB]

And here's dumb old me with my original SNES instead of the new fancy pants one.

Happy that Australia is getting that style one. Looks so much cooler than the N/A version.

Also, curse all of you that have already gotten one (). Mine's currently in the mail, somewhere.

Invisible you.

It was time for an upgrade.


DIY-TG8 tempered glass case:

EVGA GTX 1080 Hybrid, with a built in water-cooling system:

Had to carefully check the reviews and they're all great with no one reporting leaks, so I figured why not.

And an RM750x modular power supply:

Because wire management with my current PSU is a damn nightmare because it's loaded with adapters that I have no use for, and the wires have all the flexibility of a steel rod.

Coincidentally I just got Forza 7, as well.

But it doesn't match my car's color
