Scored 2 tickets to the new batman movie, from Mattel of all places :D
New computer (used of course), a c2q with 4 gigs of ram, a 500gb caviar black HD and my new 120 gb intel ssd and finally a gts 250 all lurking in a gigantic but surprisingly quiet antec sonata iii case. I am pleased. Also astonished by how fricking irritating it can be to install windows, this time because I wanted to created a 64-bit install USB from inside a 32-bit windows system. OH NOSE
Got another paper published. Nothing fancy, but one less thing to worry about from the ol' doctorate. ;)
Make back-ups.Quote:

Seriously I've had three Caviar Black's (sounds so...dirty!) fall apart on me, don't trust that piece of shit for anything worthwhile
Your money would be best spent on black caviar. :)
Holy crap Diablo 3 in normal mode is like a point-and-click interactive story once you activate God-mode :o I wonder how much of that advantage will carry over into Nightmare
God-mode? Playing a barbarian or monk?
Game doesn't get really difficult until Hell for ranged classes, or Inferno Act II for barbarian/monk.
Bejewelled monk :p flawless square gems (best value at the time) liberally socketed into dexterity-boosting rare equipment bought dirt-cheap. Approached 300 dps in my twenties and enjoyed constant and powerful healing (65/hit + passive/defensive skills) + AoE snares/attacks so I could just suck in the mobs and munch 'em up rather than chasing them. I can't decide if this was fun or boring; overall I think it was fun because it was much less of a grind and I'm still too new to this sorta entertainment to appreciate the hard work.
Too much magic-find boosting equipment though, frickin' nightmare for a packrat such as myself. Most of my money has gone towards storage :mad:
Anyway I was surprised and thrilled; I'm not usually one to invest in a game in this way and it's nice to be rewarded. I also liked getting good deals and I imagine I won't get to enjoy that aspect as much in the coming levels.
Of course that post was supposed to go in the game thread :mad:
Got one of these as a graduation gift:
http://assistent.nu/en/assistent_original.aspx
Today we used it to make dough for delicious buns (cinnamon, hazelnut paste, vanilla custard) and just a little while ago I used it to grind leg-meat from chicken, mushrooms, onion and Swedish crisp-bread. Turned that into delicious burgers flavoured with blue cheese and herbs and now I can't stop thinking about food to grind down :o so yummy. Have to buy the pasta- and milling accessories.
So I've finally received my passport, two days ago.
OMG Sweden's TV-channel has made all eps of Zorro available online!!! The summer is SAVED!!
Snoring kitty sleeping a foot away from me. :)
Oh yeah? Snoring dog at my feet while I'm working. :) :)
I hope your partner doesn't mind being called that. :p
I don't do it when he's awake...duh :P

The Decoys are taking over the world!
Congrats! :)
:cylon:
Finally got a publication (after some minor changes). It's a co-authored piece though. :o
Congrats!
What's the impact factor of the journal :D
0.812 :o It's not a top-tier journal; let's put it like that. :o
Haha :D What kind of impact factors do 'big' poli-sci journals have? Do you have any tabloidy arenas?
The top journal gets about a 3.3. A few other general poli sci journals get about 2-2.5. The top sub-discipline journals (i.e. top in IR or a sub-field of IR) tend to get 1-1.5.Quote:
