And, If I had it explained to me correctly, is also where they get 'SoHo' from (SOuth of HOuston):)
(Apologies to any english teachers. I don't do phonetics.) ;P

Me: Dear Paypal. I tried to make my current bank account my primary and to remove my old defunct bank account, but neither of the buttons (make primary/remove) functioned. There was no error message. Nothing happened.
Paypal: We would like to share with you some information that may take care of what you need. Go to your bank account list and press the 'Make Primary' or 'Remove' buttons. We're glad to have been of assistance.
Me: DID YOU READ MY EMAIL!?!?

I looked up the one FHDM was talking about. It is only 1 day, but apparently it gets like 50,000 people. That's a damn big ren faire.Fixed that "bigger" error of yours.
Also, if by pronouncing Houston correctly, you mean it's full title of Houston, a street within The Most Awesomest City in the World! Then I applaud your efforts to finally admit the truth.
;)
Well now you're just talking crazy....

Back from Derp Heresy.
The party cultist was finally revealed... Surprisingly it wasn't the witch... But the Arbiter.
Well, in hindsight, it wasn't so much of surprise knowing the type of characters the player of Arbiter usually plays. More like "she managed to remain loyal to Emperor for how long?"

okay so it is Lamontius story time again, gather around
so today is my brother's birthday. He and I are very close and have been so most of our lives, to the point where we run our business together that we have built.
well, to surprise and/or mess with him, since neither of us like to make a big deal about our birthdays, I gathered up the peeps in our office and we ambushed him with candles, cake and a rousing rendition of 'Happy Birthday'.
now, I had bought the cake from a supermarket nearby that not only has a very nice bakery, but also contracts out with a local boutique cake shop to carry some of the shop's higher-end creations.
my brother loves coconut, so I found a very nice looking coconut-sprinkled cake in the glass display and asked the bakery manager about it.
she told me that although they didn't bake it themselves, it had been delivered from the local boutique cake shop that morning. She assured me that the cake shop that had delivered it had told her that it was a delightful vanilla cake with coconut frosting.
so...sold!
Well, shortly after my brother turned bright red in embarrassment/anger at being sung to and told he looks good for 40 (he is not even close to 40), we dug into the cake.
a few bites in, we all paused...and looked at each other...
...because there was enough rum in this cake to poleaxe a draft horse.
being one of the last to get a piece, I didn't understand why the rest of the office was giggling so much while eating it...
...until I took my first bite and realized I had just essentially served my office a bunch of shots in cake form and got them all day-drunk.
So yeah, this day has basically turned into the office now giggling, drinking water and watching youtube cat videos
I have the tolerance of a clydesdale and even I am completely twizzled off that one slice of cake. Our intern is smiling with his head pillowed on his arms, at his desk.
needless to say, not a single person stopped eating their cake until it was gone
I am either the best or worst boss ever

*sigh* Who the hell thought that recent change to Google account layout is a good idea? Now I have to click five times times to enter blogger instead of four :/
This morning my brother and I sat through the goggle partners launch live streams, where they essentially explained to us that in exchange for all the business we bring to them through our clients as an agency, they will try to get us some business while simultaneously dialing back the attempts they make to poach the clients we bring to them from us
So uh
Thanks google...I think?
