my life

[juldea]

Today was spent, for the most part, mudding. I woke up and got online just in time for reboot. I gathered some equipment for my guild and for me, and then began partying with Jacob/Badanedwa. Our parties are VERY lucrative for me in xp, gxp, and coins. When he had to go I realized that my next guild level was within reachable distance if I just sat at the computer for the rest of the day... so I did so. Heh. I was on for about 11 hours total. But now I'm guild level 69. :P The last guild level I got was over a year ago, so... yeah. Go me.

After Jim got home, ate, and rested a bit, I asked him to take me out on a walk around town to show me places (and to get me off of my butt after my day of computer gaming). He is a great person and obliged. :) So now I know where the police station, library, fire station, city hall, high school, comic book/gaming/geek shops, and Dunkin' Donuts are. Massachusetts has a plethora of Dunkin' Donuts. There are three within four blocks of here.

I would like to find a nearby plasma center. The Yahoo yellow pages have done me no good.

Today I learned that the measurement "a fifth of [insert type of liquor]" refers to it being a fifth of a gallon.

Someday, I will finish my story. I want to remember it all, so I shouldn't wait much longer! :P

Dunkin Donuts? Mmmmmmmmm...

I had one for the first time in a years the other day. They are SO much different from Krispy Kreme. It's like KK depends on grease for it's flavor. DD was so much lighter and better flavored.

Well, there's only one Krispy Kreme here, and Jim says that the day it opened it created a MAJOR traffic jam. So apparently people disagree with you, or like grease...

Or perhaps they're just sick of Dunkin' Donuts, if it was the only option available for so long... hrm.

[baronbrian.livejournal.com]

I'd go with the variety reason. That and Krispy Kreme is really hyped.

[oddharmonic.livejournal.com]

I'll second the hype. Denver has a really nice mix of Dunkin's, Winchell's and independent donut shops but when the first Krispy Kreme store opened there the line was something like two hours.

I consider the grease idea valid too. There are very few Southern places I've been able to actually digest the food from (greasy and some high-fat foods go right through me after I eat them) and KK donuts always do a number on me when I eat them.

Yeah, for a company that does no advertising (that I've ever seen) and simply relies on word of mouth, Krispy Kreme certainly creates a sensation wherever it goes.

I don't understand the Krispy Kreme situation either. The high school band in my hometown used to sell Krispy Kreme donuts out of the bandwagon as a fundraiser. (The directors would drive to OKC to get them at the ass-crack of dawn.) Now almost every grocery store and convenience store in my hometown does the same thing at least once a week, even though we have donut places in town. It's retarded.

Well, from my experience, there's two kinds of KKs--straight glazed fresh off the machine, and all the others. Heh. And out of those, only the Maple glazed exist in my vocab.

And what is glaze but sugar and butter/water?

[caltren.livejournal.com]

Out of those other, only the Maple glazed, that is.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

I think that was clear. :)

Massachusetts has a plethora of Dunkin' Donuts. There are three within four blocks of here.

This is a Good Thing; the nearest one to us is 40 miles away in Greenville, then 50-60 in the Raleigh area. Every time we go to either city, we buy a half-dozen. There is a Krispy Kreme here in town, but their sugary toroids of doom are unpleasant unless piping hot and the local store employees consistently give me Bavarian (white) creme even when I simplify to "yellow creme". Bah.

I would like to find a nearby plasma center.

When we lived in Massachusetts, both of my parents donated blood through American Red Cross Blood Services. Several of their locations offer pheresis services so you can donate plasma.

I know the Boston location of the American Red Cross accepts plasma donations, but do they pay for it?

I'm used to the plasma center near the campus of OU, where you get at least $20 a pop and can go in twice a week. The Red Cross site says that you can only come in twice a month to donate there, and doesn't say anything about payment.

I'm looking for an easy, no-committment way to make money.
