I put bread in the toaster wait 1.5 minutes(for minerals :D) go back tothe kitchen, pour out my drink, get butter and everything else ready, so once the toast pops my hands have just moved over the toaster to pick the bread on the very second it pops. Basically i have done this long enough that i know subconsciously when to go to the toaster :D Other things: i say gg and glhf too much, also i say "pops" for anything that gets done... :D | ||

First I start off by boiling 1/4 of a pot (?) with water while I boil up the rest of the required amount in a water boiler thingie. While I got those two going I make my coffee and when I've poured the wanted amount of coffee in the machine the water in the boiler is almost done and the 1/4 water is already heated up so at this point I walk the 8 meter walk to my computer, set up a timer for 6min 30 seconds, 15 seconds added in there for me walking back to the kitchen and an additional 15 for me to get the eggs and a spoon to lower them in the water. The water boiler usually flips the switch back, the sign that the water is done boiling, when I enter the room. I pour the water in, get them eggs in there. Start to do my sandwiches with butter n caviar and when those are done, the coffee is done and I pour it up. I walk back to my computer with my coffee and my sandwiches and I sit and read half a news article from nytimes.com and at this time there's usually somewhere around 1min 15 seconds left on the 6:30 min timer. 15 seconds for me to go back into the kitchen and now, with one minute left I take the pot off the stove and let the eggs be in the hot water but not the additional heat for one minute. I go back to computer and take a bite of the sandwich and a sip of the coffee and return to the kitchen. Pour out the hot water and fill it with cold water and let them cool down for minute before I retrive them and everythings ready. The egg white is perfectly firm where as the yellow (I don't how to spell the joke/jook/derp word in english) pretty loose, just the way I want them. I blame day[9] for making me think of timings like this -_- Edit: also worth mentioning that the collective that I live in say glhf before you leave for work and gg before going to bed. | ||

Was out with a girl last night. When we finished getting at it, I rolled over, lit my cigarette, and said GG. | ||

1.) Going through 4-S-D at the dinner table a few times 2.) Having dreams about SC with specific builds that last as long as full games (or seem like it) | ||

I mean, I did that already, but Starcraft pops into my head and I move into a higher gear, getting the mouse into position while I control c so I can click and control v, and so on, keeping a mental note on my tab order so I can alt-tab the correct amount of times to get to the window I want to be in, smashing out paragraphs at 70+wpm. Then wasting all the spare time on TL See... I always did that to begin with which is why Starcraft came so naturally to me | ||
