I'm enjoying how extra long usernames are cut to the next line. Guess it's a good opportunity for some of us to take advantage of that yearly name change.

New layout looks a lot better when zoomed out to 80% in chrome.

You can mouse over a thread title and see the latest post, very cool.

People on IRC know already, but I got married back in June and I just closed on the purchase of a home a few weeks ago. I thought about it today and realized that it's kinda weird I haven't posted anything about the house on any social media, and most of my friends don't even know about it. And here I am posting about it on Doomworld.
Well my wife and I have finally settled in comfortably. We're still tied to our old apartment for most of next month (gotta finish out the lease), but otherwise the move is over and I can relax again. Of course, now I'm a homeowner so I can probably never relax again. Cable and internet are hooked up, the place is already mostly furnished and decorated the way we like (my wife doesn't waste time, haha), and I'm already used to my new commute.
Even with the increased responsibility involved in home-ownership, as opposed to renting, I've felt my stress levels decrease greatly over the past few weeks in just having a real home to come back to at the end of every day. The last year or so in my apartment was driving me to the brink of insanity, with seemingly less and less space each day for the two of us to do what we each wanted to do. Then we got a dog, which was a HUGE change to the way we lived. All that has changed with the house, and I feel like I've got my personal life back. All in all it feels like it was the right move. -
A certain Pavs Wilco turns 22 on Thursday, and he is craving Doomworld's love and attention! Do you people love (or hate) me enough to make me a birthday map? If I get enough, I'll compile them all and cast them on my livestream sometime next week. Otherwise I might just have to be really unhappy.

Book I was just a bunch of boring exposition. And for this less than monumental (yet still kinda cool) birthday, I received a greater gift than I could have ever asked for:
How I Met Your Mother: Seasons 1-5 on DVD. Also a set of Pink Floyd beer glasses to take down to college park with me.
No cake though. But I did have a nice prime rib at Outback!- Show previous comments 5 more

Kid Airbag said:Cool, I'm roaming around PG County usually about once a month for work. I was wondering something - where do U of M kids go for nightlife, etc? Because College Park the town doesn't seem to have a lot in the way of easily accessible (i.e. walkable) places to socialize...does everyone just take the T into DC on the weekends? Or is there just some cluster of bars, etc. in College Park that I'm totally missing?
I live up in DC and while I can't say what there is to do in PG County I do know plent of places to go if you can make it into the District. I know there's a PG county/college park stop on the green line of the metro, so if you ever wanted to go have a night out and not worry about having to drive there's a shit ton of nightlife over here :P

Oh, I know all about DC nightlife (in fact, I could make a pretty good argument that Adams Morgan is the single coolest neighborhood on the planet). I was just curious if there is anything for UMD kids to do at night without having to take the T into the city. - Show next comments 3 more

And what do I have to show for it?
Quite a bit: I have a full beard, two (1.5) jobs, I go to school full time, and.. well that's it. Oh and I have a slick phone.
Happy Birthday to me.- Show previous comments 7 more

Even with a safety razor, I have a 5 o'clock shadow. My hair is just too thick, even on my face. I've actually been told by multiple hair stylists (including my sister) who tell me I have the thickest hair they've ever seen. :P The weird thing is that I don't really have that much body hair. Also, I wasn't able to grow a full beard until I was 22ish. Before then, it was just coming in way too patchy.
