What a Spectentacular Coincidence (come and chat?)
 

So, my university has a three-day-long annual event called Carnival. One of the Carnival activities I'm invested in is Booth, in which certain campus organizations spends months making the pieces of a 16ft x 16ft house from scratch, and then move the parts onto the event site, assemble it, do electrical work, and finish painting in the span of five days, three of which are still class days.

...Needless to say, the people who do Booth are dedicated, occasionally to the point of literal insanity.

Anyways, what amused me about this particular Trisphee event is the abundance of tentacles. Why does this amuse me?

...Well, my organization's Booth theme just happens to be Octodad this year.

I'll post pictures once I get...better pictures, and after I get out of this icky mental depression slump.

Feel free to chat in here about the event, silly school stories, whatever! I'll...try to be around. Maybe.

You need a giant squid plushie to go with the OctoDad house.

that is a pretty funny coincidence!

Yeah, the minigame that we did for our Booth is, orange pool noodles with handles in them, and having people attempt to sweep up (using a broom) litter into a goal while wearing the noodly appendages.

That...I would watch.

Espy needs to get video of this… and to stay warm, while eating, and sleeping.

so when is the booth going to actually be open espy?

Sounds like that would fun, my college really doesn't do anything like that. As far as I know, the campus hasn't hosted much event wise for students.. through we did get a trip to France.

And I think after running that booth, you'll want to see less tentacles.

Chloe what anime is the gif in your signature from

That's cool owo I'm looking forward to college even more now. Hopefully they'll get up similar events too.

Man I wish I could do cool things like that...

Lots of colleges do fun events you just have to know where to look. My old college held a Comic book Convention last weekend.

That sounds awesome. I can't wait to see pictures :o

How fun! I wish I could do things like that. Ahah..oh well. Hope it goes well.

I'll come chat with the Espy!

Gotta get out of a depression slump myself. u.u;

How is everyone?

Batty! *tackles and chains to the thread*

I will chat!!! Did you get the pictures? Let us see!!! XD

There is quite some demand for pics. Some of it comes from me. This seems wonderfully silly; please share.

Yes yes We still want to see XD

*Glomps the Batty*

...Octodad? Huh...needs ties.

That sounds like great fun, Epsy.

I'd like to see the pictures too. :D

Hope your mood gets better soon.

So I was going through some things the other day, and I found a micro SD card in an adapter... Plugging it into my computer revealed a treasure trove of old pictures and a good selection of mp3s of mine... Stuff I hadn't listened to since changing phones from my old LG slider with the full keyboard to my first smartphone... So I'm being nostalgic and listening to the music.

That really is a treasure trove, Den.

I store pictures on SD cards and came across some from a long time ago. Totally forgot about those pictures and was transported back in time. :D

A trip down memory lane eh? It's a good thing the SD card is not corrupted yet... :)

I try to avoid those…. but then again I am weird. *Pounces* So is Espy gonna post pictures yet?

Sounds like fun!

I also store pictures on an external hard drive. Just need to find a way to put them on the Mac formatted external hard drive too.

Hubby always says, "back up, back up, back up." ;-)

I need to add more stuff to my external drive... This laptop's getting so old that I'm scared that one day, I'll go to turn it on, and it won't work at all.

That happened to me in Dec of 2014. The whole thing froze up and died on me. I thought I had backed up my novels, but nope. I only had earlier versions and not the finished ones. *sigh* At least it waited until after NaNoWriMo was over.

my laptop's so old that the company that made it doesn't sell the batteries on their website anymore. I'm half-tempted to set up a GoFundMe to raise money for a new laptop.

So where's Espy? I am already excited for the pictures! XD

I think they got sick…. or something

My Windows 7 laptop battery is dying and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. These things are built for obsolescence. XD

No kidding. Shadowmaru (My laptop) is a Windows 7 machine... I got a bad battery in 2014 and finally just plugged him straight into the power source, without a battery, because I can't find a battery that's good, and doesn't cost me $50.

Hello all! I'm trying to remember all the places I'm chatting in but it's hard to keep up. XP

That's why I've really cut back... that, and most sites that I used to be on don't really appeal to me anymore, or I can't relate to the userbase anymore...

Oh I mean where I'm chatting here on this site. I tend to get lost. DX

lol, I am getting distracted talking.

I wanted to bake a cake.

Boxed spice cake with canned cream cheese frosting.

And I am thinking about making a hash brown casserole too!

Yummy. Spice cake is my absolute favorite. Have you ever made it with applesauce instead of the oil?

I like making cakes and brownies that way... I don't do it as often as I probably should though... >.>;;
