Today's Notes 5/31/21: It's a Monday!

Good afternoon everybody,

It's Memorial Day, and I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend, and I call it a long weekend because lets face it, any Trump supporters who had a problem with Kamala Harris calling it that while not having a problem with Trump calling people who died in service to the United States losers needs check themselves before they get wrecked.

 Last night's stream of Overwatch was pretty loose, with plenty of wins and losses. Big thanks to PandaSweet for joining in on the fun. The big goal of last night was to get in the matches needed to unlock the Echo skin related to this year's anniversary event. On a side note, I realized what Wrecking Ball's skin is supposed to be, it's misleading design indicates he's in a basketball, but it's actually and 8 Ball one would find on a pool or billiards table. But the thing is, the 8 Ball is black... and Wrecking Ball's new anniversary skin is orange and black. Anyway we have some twitch clips from last night

FedEx continues to piss me right the hell off, a package (of a couple of Overwatch league shirts) was supposed to be delivered on May 27th, and they claim because of the amount of volume, it got delayed until the next day May 28th. Okay, fine. Then I see there were no delivery updates for Saturday and Sunday, and I know they fucking deliver on the weekends. So I call them up today, and made it real clear that if my package is damage and / or is not on my doorstep tomorrow I will file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. Hell if I got the FCC on Comcast's ass, you don't think I will do the same with FedEx?

I'm (finally) going to get myself an Elgato Stream Deck, which should help in regards to getting some clips through Twitch when I'm playing PC games. Basically I want to get rid of having to alt-tab when I want to clip something while playing Overwatch or Star Trek Online.

Got more music CDs condensed to a 400 CD binder. Doing this project over the last week meant I have unintentionally created four 5 pound weights.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was streamed over on twitch, with the exercises length being 45 minutes, with 1 miss out of 1996 actions. Today's exercises were Waist Shape Focus Combo, Weaving Combo #2 (new personal best set on No Mercy difficulty), Straight Combo #1 and the Block Combo (where the 1 miss occurred) . Estimated Calorie Burn was 742 kcal. The one specific miss was a right block out of the Southpaw stance. We're up to 83 out of 100 for the Martina's Best Friend achievement.  And since the session was stream we have some clips.

Tonight we'll be back to playing Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition with the focus more than likely being spent on recruiting part of the team needed to advance the plot. Not sure if I'll go after Mordin first, or delay and go after the other members of the squad and do more side mission things. Either way we'll probably get started around 6:30 PM EST for sure, but I'm tempted to start earlier.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden
