    I was under the impression that my legs got chewed by mosquitoes while I was doing yard work on Sunday. And lately I've been finding little black specks stuck in Max's fur. Just a little while ago, I saw Max scratching on my bed, and I looked closer and noticed some sort of bug on him. A little Googling and the conclusion is that yep, those are probably fleas, the black specks are flea dirt, and my legs are likely covered in flea bites.
    Grab a grooming brush and use it on Max (nice name, BTW). That should let you drag out at least a couple of these things. Try and crush one with your fingernails (provided you have some), and you'll soon know if it's a flea or not.

    Max's fur is pretty short and fine, so I was able to pull one off him last night. I didn't try crushing it with my nails (and yes, I have the strongest nails of anyone I know), but I saw it, right before I saw its jumping ability. It's fleas. And his sister, Lexi, hasn't shown the flea dirt, bt she's been pretty itchy, so she's probably got them too. So I'll be treating two dogs.

    Oh, and we named him around 8 years before I got into Sam & Max. Now I kind of wish I had a rabbit named Sam.

    Fleas suck.

    That's how they feed ...

    Joking aside, don't forget to clean cushions, carpets and other textiles in your house, as some kinds of fleas love to hide themselves or their nests in such places.
  • edited August 2013
    Yeah, I'll be trying to clean everything imaginable. The worst of it is my bed. I actually just washed the top layer of my bedding and the dogs' blankets a couple days ago, but I'll be doing that again after they're treated, plus the rest of my bedding, which I haven't been sleeping under and didn't wash.

    Just the President getting falsely criticized by every political party at once on the internet for something he's not even doing.

    Got a link?

    Honestly, I think the problem with Obama isn't even his fault. The problem is that so many people saw him as the second-coming of Jesus or something and therefore expected him to do everything single-handedly. And so, by a similar logic, when anything goes wrong, it's automatically Obama's fault and not that of the hundreds of representatives he has to fight every time he tries to get anything done.

    Our government at work. We should do what the Romans and the Star Wars Republic did and vote the leader emergency powers for a limited time in the case of a crisis. Then at least maybe we'd get a world empire or Darth Vader. Or, if we're lucky, both.

    Also, Guru, I'd offer advice, but I've never had a pet with fleas so I don't even know what to do.

    FUCK YouTube.

    You guys watch my show, right?

    ...right?

    Well, whatever. One of them used Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" over the end credits. Naturally, YouTube objected to this, so I just said whatever and let its automatic program remove the song from the video.

    So now the credits are in complete silence. Well, except for two incredibly short bits of noise that don't even remotely resemble music. More a dull thud. But hey, apparently that's enough for YouTube to still claim I'm using copyrighted material.

    Which, naturally, is bullshit.

    God I fucking hate YouTube. I really, really do.

    Well, you gained a subscriber out of YouTube's actions, so that's a plus.

    Nope. They'd scrape the entirely of the email inbox for relevant metadata and do mass queries against the entire database. At the level human beings interact with the system, the constitution will be treated as junk data and tossed out(which is how they treat it anyway, so no difference).

    I like to think that's just me changing my account name and someone finding the name 'Chris Madisun' interesting enough to subscribe.

    ...I'm probably wrong though :( Still, I'm close to 50 subscribers! Woo.

    Also, after about an hour's effort, I have finally managed to convert a WBZ file to an SZS one.
    I get that none of you know what either of those file types are, but it was a right royal pain in the arse to figure out and I just really wanted to mention that I'd done it. So there.

    Well, the dogs are treated, the whole upstairs and staircase is vacuumed. Now I just have to do my room. Unfortunately, my room's gotten most of the neglect at the expense of the bathroom remodel, and I have to do some major picking up just to be able to vacuum it. Then I get to strip my bed, add it to the already long queue for the washing machine, and put down flea powder on the carpet. Then I get to hang out upstairs for the rest of the night (or, if there's nothing left of the night, for an hour before bed), then come back in here and vacuum the powder, put my bed back together (hopefully my bedding will be finished by this point), and pray that I don't get bitten in my sleep any more than I already have.

    So yeah, I'm in for a long evening.

    The giant clown teddy bear wanting a piss was a clue.

    I'm done vacuuming, my carpet is full of flea powder, and I have captured one of the enemy, confirming that they're fleas. Unfortunately, I have to sleep either in my sister's room or on the couch. I'm feeling the couch.

    Hmm.. So I got my Steam Key for Game Maker Studio: Standard.
    So that means I can make stuff and then upload it to the Steam workshop.
    Hmmm maybe I should start tinkering around with it again once I finish playing Shadowrun Returns.
    (Its been a loooooonnngg time, and I basically need to relearn everything. But maybe a little reading up here and there might do me some good)

    EDIT: And looking at the workshop. It looks like there is ALOT of crap on there.
    (With a few interesting little projects scattered in there).
    Well, I guess I won't have to worry too much about anything I'd ever upload on there! XD

    Because it's a lot harder to use them in the quick-post section.

    Also, anyone who uses Comic Sans is going to suffer the wrath of Charlie Brooker.

    I always forget about the quick post section. Quick posting is for quitters.

    Also, youtube videos don't seem to be working for me at the moment. I get an error message involving monkeys.

    Counted 36 flea bites across my arms and legs. I'm about to crawl out of my skin here. And showering is basically torture.
