Technology, hah!

The microwave just stopped working last night — after all it is 15 years old. Unfortunately, it’s part of a stove/oven combo, so getting it repaired is probably a better (i.e. cheaper) option than buying a whole new unit. So I was planning on calling GE Appliance Service today, and I just did a few minutes ago. Their posted hours on the website are 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET, and it was 2 p.m. PT. I got dumped by a message saying they were closed… a message which repeated the posted hours. Hello?! It’s not 6 p.m. for 45 more minutes! Argh! I suppose I’ll have to call tomorrow.

Of course, the reason why I didn’t call until 2 p.m.?



I saw this guy as I was walking through La Theine a few weeks ago. Yes, he’s really almost ten time taller than the guys fighting him.


I’m floating! I’m floating!


Spiny Spipi, the bane of my existance for the last week. I hate you, bigdumbthing.

    1. If they meant Mon-Fri, then they really shouldn’t have put special weekend-only hours in there that specifically say “Saturday” and “Sunday” then, shouldn’t they?

      Anyway, I’m on the phone with them right now…. well, I’m on hold, anyway.

  1. Spiny Spipi

    Through your screen shots you have run into Spiny Spipi a lot. I would want to camp it but i don’t know where to look. Do you know the position and the drop rate of the Mist Silk Capre?

      Well, hopefully you look back here to see this reply.

      Allakhazam.com has a page on Spiny Spipi that includes a map. He basically appears anywhere in I-7 or J-7, as well as along the south shore of the river — all the way to the east.

      I think I killed Spipi close to 7 or 8 times before getting the Mist Silk Cape, but a friend of mine got it 3 times in 4 kills or something like that. Of course, in the time I did that, I got many many stacks of silk and beehive chips that definately ended up making more money than buying the cape from the AH would have.
