I got worn out trying to figure out my new Wii U which refused to turn on. I’d hit the power button over and over and got nothing. I did everything…switch plugs, change TV settings, screwed with the gamepad…ick. Eventually, I posted on some message board about it and someone suggested to hold the button down. So I held it down for like fifteen seconds…and nothing. Then I pressed it again and it turns on and it works fine now. I don’t get it. Technology is mocking me. Either way, I tore my hair out for so long about it that it was time for bed. Guess I’ll have to be Mario tonight instead.
^curious to see how this game works for you…
The adventure continued last night as I discovered I have no audio through the TV (yet I get it on the little Wii U Gamepad). So couldn’t figure that out and I was switching video and audio plugs around in the back. In the end, I noticed I have three audio-in inputs on my TV and I was using the wrong inputs…silly me for thinking I would use the input that’s right next to the video input. Anyway, I got sound.
Then there was much flailing of arms related to getting the controllers to work. The Wii remote wouldn’t work until I realized it wasn’t plugged in all the way, which solved that.
In the end, I played maybe a half-hour of Mario Galaxy before I went to bed so it looks like it’s finally up and running. I’m not even going to try to connect it online…I really have no reason to and I know it’ll force me to install some hour-long software update that’ll likely screw everything up if I do.
^So, is it good?
^I think I’ll make it. The game is pretty fun too. They do the Mario games right.
Biofreeze made it possible for sleep, thank you Biofreeze.
Pain reliever for sleep? Whatever works.
Tweaked the lower back, muscle spasm and soreness in play. Pulled out the muscle rub ointment and nailed it… So, yes it does help the night sleep time!
Going to sleep now. UUp at 2:55am. Fly to the Phish…
So freaking excited!
Yeah boi!
Need to take my ass to sleep. Will be up early packing and cleaning up. Hope to get in a run. Definitely have to love up my little Piper. I’m already sad about leaving her yet so pumped for the weekend. Torn!
Happy Phishmas Eve, OKPers!
See you tomorrow…
I slept like a baby last night, I cried and shit myself…
Good night OKP. May your week be kind of alright, in a well-shit-this-ain’t-much-worse-than-my-weekend sorta way.
I have been developing a headache at night about 30-50 minutes prior to bed… Sucks…
Go to bed 30-50 minutes earlier. 
Go to bed 30-50 minutes earlier.
Or just smoke down at that point.
Sleep aid and completing this contract will help!
Rough day today.
My right hand is healing from a pretty bad injury almost a week ago now, where I may have broken a bone in there. [Happy to say it was disc golf related and that the shot went off perfectly regardless.] Shook hands a lot today, it’s a little aggravated. Plus I drove in heavy traffic a bunch today, which aggravated my potentially broken ankle from last winter when I didn’t get it x-ray’d. I’m doin great on the whoops broke a bone didn’t follow protocol front.
One of my car tires is leaking, and another has a bad wheel bearing, causing good ol’ automotive stress. Compounded by the stress of getting the tire repaired and the car returned to me in time for my tight schedule. Bearing is still loudly NOT repaired.
My grandmother’s wake and funeral are tonight and tomorrow, and I find myself trying to accomodate work clients and auto repair and the x-ray concept got back burner’d, while I scheme to take tomorrow off. Work obligations did not go according to schedule; a one hour meeting clocked at one hour, 50 minutes. Visited my last client at 5pm, almost two hours later than the plan. My shift didn’t end until well after the wake began.
Funeral home address mix-up made me even later.
I’m a little bit tired. But I had some … ritualistic implements of celebration. And dinner.
I thought I’d unload all that sh*t on you fine folks while I blare “Free” from 7/1/14 in my headphones. 'Nite Oh Kee Pa.
if the thunder don’t get you…
Sorry to hear about your grandmum, Kevin. And of all the other stresses at the moment.
Fear not to unload here. Believe this to be one of our best functions as a group.
