Crazy how much currency exchange places rip people off. Right now USD -> JPY is 1:111 (which is already not great if going from USD -> JPY).

Local exchange place? 1:104
Online Travelx exchange? 1:98

Best rate is withdrawing from ATM in Japan, but I need some cash on me when I go over, so just taking the L and paying the local place around a 7% exchange fee.

Since we're in full swing with 90s nostalgia, Surge is back in stores. I went to get a can and got told by the cashier that they have ten cases sitting around because nobody is buying it.

Then I remember back in the day, you had gaffers going onto Ebay to buy old ass cans of the stuff. They even had Vault for a little while which was kind of like Surge. Now they got the real thing back and nobody's buying it.

90s nostalgia is something of a non-starter. Maybe it's because the 90s sucked ass as a decade.

When we were there in 2010, it was 1:85. 111 is fucking awesome in comparison.

God, I remember Gundam 0081 for the PS3 was roughly $100 due to the horrendous exchange rate when it came out.

Things were going great until my car got fucked up by hail and set me back $1000.

Once I make back that $1000 I'll be back to buying some stuff for my entrepreneur scheme.

I had Waffle House on Sunday morning. That's the second time I've been to one in...ever, I think. My wife wanted to get some junky breakfast and the much nicer, newer IHOP down the road was packed. So we left and stopped at WH. This place was also packed, but they managed to squeeze us in and let us sit at this tiny area of the (dirty) counter at the very end. We could see everything going on in the kitchen. The floor was absolutely disgusting. I got listen to waitresses telling each other off before coming out from behind the counter and pretending to be nice. When we left, the manager was standing there and went "see you again next week...I hope. Maybe?"

I know that. Just assume when I'm talking about carbs I'm talking about the shit that turns American's into hambeasts.

In the US almost every fucking meal seems to come with wheat, potatoes, and/or rice.

That waitress even asked me twice if I wanted hashbrowns or grits with the omelette and I told her no.

Edit: Also, I seem to have some sort of allegery with wheat that makes me feel like I'm shitting shards of glass if I eat too much of it. It's one of the reasons why I don't drink much beer anymore because I get such painful shits from it.

I had a dream recently that a bunch of young, Muslim men had started up a movement called "fashion jihad" and it involved them pairing up traditional Middle-Eastern garb with hip scarves, sunglasses, and brightly colored head wrappings and then going out into public places and doing really sweet song-and-dance routines. It was pretty awesome and I'd totally support this if it was real.

So the other night I took an Uber home and the guy that drove me home was so nice. Like all the other Uber drivers I've had previously were pretty quiet, played their own music and didn't ask if I had prefrences but this guy asked. I got rather into the conversation, I'm usually pretty quiet but this guy brought out my talkative side. I hope he has an successful time as an driver.

The whole experience just made me realize how starved I was/am for longer human conversation.

I'm a Puppy! · « **Reply #29072 on:** April 10, 2016, 11:53:40 PM »

On the ride back from the airport from returning from NYC I asked the driver a few questions (like I gave him the address asked, "how are you", etc) actually tried several times to talk to him, despite the guy's name being "Jim" and obviously American and the dude totally ignored everything I said. Then after a few minutes the dude starts singing along to the radio. I was like "WTF?" I was exhausted and a bit pissed at being ignored so when the next song came on and the guy didn't know the words I sang along with the radio as loud as I could. The dude gave me this look like "WTF?" When the next song came on I didn't know the words so I made up my own words I made the chorus something like "I'm a shark! I'm a shark!"

Dude dropped me off without a word and sped away. Still got my 4.9 rating though

I love riding shotgun and talking to cab drivers when I'm wasted, engaging them enough that they wind up spilling their entire life stories. I'm genuinely interested and they're usually just happy my friends (passed out in the back) and I aren't belligerent when it's 2-3 AM. Some have let me smoke black & milds too after building a rapport.

Usually I'm quiet too with people I don't know, but watch out when I get a few redbull vodkas in me

Heh... there really wasn't a formal contract for this job. *slaps wrist*

But I was very clear from the beginning on what the client was getting from me in the initial quote.

An animated web banner ad of a chicken eating a worm, some copy about buying a bag of meal worms, and the three days of labor it would take me to finish the job. That was it.

Also, I got paid the full $1500 for this job so I don't have a reason to distrust this client yet.

I'm a Puppy! · « **Reply #29098 on:** April 13, 2016, 06:40:26 PM »

Well, let us know how it goes. Always have a clause in your SOWs that state you retain ownership but they have an option to buy the source files for a specific amount within the first 30 days. Afterwards a fee might be levied for "archiving costs"
