Silliness Distract me pls D:

wyndslash · 02-20-2011, 02:37 AM

I'm done with all of my homework except for studying economics D: I have on exam on Tuesday but I feel so lazy. Plus, economics intimidates me D:

For some reason, I'm fine with computing interest rates and annuities and all that, but when it comes to the mathematics I encounter in economics, I feel like it's so overwhelming D:

We're supposed to study how to compute exchange rates and national income for the exam D:

Zzzz...wha? What?

Sorry, I fell asleep when you mentioned enconomiczzzzz....

Wha?

Oh, yeah, distract you...well, I'm distracted by icecream and shiny lights. Perhaps if you get some LED Crunch icecream, that'll help distract you like it would me. It's worth giving a shot, because you never know what...

...

ahh...blinky light on microwave...hurrrrrrr...........

wyndslash · 02-20-2011, 03:35 AM

ice cream, mmmmmm...

i'm not really much in the mood for food though. i'm trying not to download the free kindle ebooks right now, because i know that once i do, i'll completely put off studying and fail D:

ATDrake · 02-20-2011, 03:42 AM

I don't suppose the Cartoon Introduction to Economics would help?

But then, Volume I is for Microeconomics alone, so it would only help a little bit.

Download free epub or lrf books instead and convert them in Calibre.

You know no-one's going to help you, don't you? In an Unutterably Silly thread, given the choice between encouraging you to study and encouraging you to download free kindle books, well you know which way we're going to fall.

Cheers,
Marc
PS. Seriously, all the best in your studies (if you get around to it

) and exams. That your efforts'll pay off in the long run is just basic economiczzzzzzz...

i'm not really asking for help. i do want to chat with people, though xD

*ropes you* stay D:

Good. Just double-checking. Some few people have been known to start a thread in The Lounge with an Unutterably Silly tag and then actually expect help? Craziness. As it is, that ATDrake above has been borderline helpful, and I'm currently giving him the virtual stink-eye for befouling the Silliness with potential usefulness. Bad ATDrake! Bad!

Cheers,
Marc (about to be distracted by pizza...)

wyndslash · 02-20-2011, 04:00 AM

XD

pizza o.o....

what flavor?

BeTePoK · 02-20-2011, 04:04 AM

Still chatting?

wyndslash · 02-20-2011, 04:05 AM

yes, i'm still here XD

what's up?

i like the lounge. it's laid back. the other parts of the forum can get rather aggressive >_>

Well then, while I'm being bad, I will link to the most unhelpful link* I know of that isn't a tinfoil hat rant: TV Tropes' You Fail Economics Forever entry which shows that if one flunks out of understanding how the money works, at least they've got a bright future as a (script)writer who can make totally unworkable stuff up for the people to point and laugh at.

I hope this brings hope† to the OP.

Homemade everything, so thin, crispy base, my tomato sauce, slices of roast pumpkin and fresh tomato, and a small amount of fetta crumbled over (with a little bit of fresh oregano).

Cheers,
Marc

oh, not bad o: i just had dinner so i'm pretty full now xD

i can't decide which color to get from amazon's lighted cover set o:

montsnmags · 02-20-2011, 07:28 AM

I bought the green...I do like it very much, but recommending colours can be a little too subjective for relevance, so I won't. What I will suggest is that you look at the comments on the user-contributed photos, as they sometimes mention and show that the colour in real life is slightly different from what Amazon's photos suggest (my green is not as "lime" as it appears, heading towards "apple").
