My sister put a box over my cat, Napoleon, who just kind of sat there, confused, until I coaxed her out. The second she left the box, my other cat, Ali, bum rushed the box and hid underneath. She then became Solid Snake. Sneaking about our kitchen floor, she began attacking all stray feet and cats that wandered too close.
...clever girl.

I just bought a GoPro. Now I'm off to Sri Lanka for a week to test it out.
MonkeyPro documentary tentative release: 2016.
I wanted orange. It gave me lemon-lime...

So I may have made an "oops," and ordered a hot sauce online. It came very highly recommended, and very highly rated, but there's this tiny little detail where it's rated at 2 million scoville units. I mistakenly thought the Ghost Pepper was rated at 6 million, and thought "hey, play it safe, get something only a fraction of the strength." Instead I unwittingly picked something more than twice as potent. So. My bad, there.
If I die, I want you all to remember me as I wish I'd lived: Surrounded by corgis. If I do live, I'll be sure to report my sufferings findings to you after I've tried the sauce. Which was apparently made, quite literally, by getting habanero extract, some vinegar, and then saying "FUCK IT" and dumping straight up capcaicin into the mix.
For comparison's sake, this shit is 400 times hotter than a jalapeno and also the same rating as low-end pepper spray. If it's good, BottomGuy can expect a nice, smoldering-hot stocking stuffer this Christmas. Because if I can take it, Mr. Ghost Chile certainly can.
P.S.: Please be putting those ghost chile flakes into the red pepper shakers in the Union and share the results with me. I LONG FOR CHAOS.

Right here: http://www.cajohns.com/
The one I got is the Vicious Viper, and it's not even close to the hottest sauce they make.

You'll have to tell me if it's as spicy as it's supposed to be- cuz if it is, I'm totally buying that as a christmas present for SHE.
In other news, my laptop of six years is busted. Carson kept spontaneously shutting off as I was trying to do stuff and, after letting him rest for a bit, figuring it was just overheating and needed to cool off, I turned him on and the screen is only very dimly lit and the keyboard is unresponsive. I've had a lot of issues with him for years now and while he's had close calls before, I think this is it. All I'm trying to do now is get my most important stuff off and onto Jaime, my little writing notebook.
I've already ordered a new laptop (since Jaime just doesn't really have the power to work as a long term replacement, she's really just for writing and travel), but it's just kind of sad to see Carson go- even though he's been a stubborn bastard for the majority of these six years.

Just like the real Carson
Not "conspiracies". Conspiracy. Singular.

Yeah, it was totally because of the laptop's tendency to overheat and be stubborn that I named it Carson. Maybe I should name the new one after a more even-tempered character...

GUESS WHO'S WORKING AGAIN.
Seriously, a full 24 hours passed where Carson refused to function normally and now he's acting like nothing happened. I'm still going to go ahead with this new laptop since a) I don't trust Carson not to break on me later anyway and b) I do need an upgrade and have needed one for a while.
But still. The only reason I attempted to boot him up again was so I could nab one more thing I'd forgotten to back up and now the screen, keyboard, everything is working fine. I just... don't even get it.

Don't trust him. He's clearly a zombie now. Check for a stab wound in his back.

It is. Oh god it is. Has some nice flavor to it besides heat though!

Honestly, I think he's been a zombie for at least a year now.

Good to know, thanks. :D

Oh, are we doing computer things?
I would love to get around 800 dollars in computer parts to build my own desktop, but, like with any idea involving large amounts of money and young people, it's just not going to happen.

I got a custom rig with the intention of upgrading it bit by bit over time. I've lost track of how long ago that was (five, maybe six years?), and I've never upgraded a single piece of it. xp

I'll have you know that there are six cooling fans, and they're only really loud if I have them turned up high.

I tend to do the same thing. "Man, this build is awesome cuz I can I can just upgrade this part or that part all the way in to the future!!!"
A few years later I usually just build an entirely new PC...
