The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

12 out of 8 researchers swear by reading news on a smartphone as one of the best ways to stay healthier.
 
Alternator in my car is toast. Felt like something bust in my car going down the highway and my battery light came on. Worked far enough for me to get to the auto shop and the battery loses all juice. Replaced the battery and bought a new alternator. At an actual shop today to see if its really the problem and see if they can get it installed.

EDIT: It wasn't the alternator thank fuck. It was the driver belt. It was shredded to hell, but thats an easier and cheaper fix than an alternator.

My desktop that I built myself some five years ago died this year also. The cpu started overheating so I replaced the cooler and now the fucking thing makes a chainsaw noise the instant I boot it and I'm so fucking done with PC building for the foreseeable future. It's fun when everything works, but just nerve-racking when you don't have the time to troubleshoot errors or the finances to replace components you manage to break in your own ineptitude.

The one advantage of having a store room full of parts to sell customers is that if my computers shit themselves I just replace shit until I'm happy.

I got stung by a wasp last year, my arm hurt like a bitch for nearly a week. It was only a little lump but fuck it hurt.

Sitting on the Quad at Xavier University in Cincinnati, where I got a new job this semester teaching Latin and Roman History. I think The Ozzman went here. Checking into the forum like I do every few months to see how much of the old guard are still around.
 
One of my coworkers went to Wisconsin for his dad's 80th birthday and brought back a bunch of bags of assorted cheese curds. I got a package that was Mango Habanero. Got an amazing kick to it thats for sure.
