SG took forever to load today. I'm guessing it got Farked. Y'know. Because of the thing.
Personally, I find it absurd.
I don't know what else one can really say. Poo-tee-weet?
Did I mention that the girl bought me a bike as an early birthday present? Because she did. And it kicks ass.
Although I wish she was making less of a big deal about...

have fun at the wedding... the thing looks cute
Two weddings this weekend.
I got my tux from the rental place.
At the risk of tooting my own horn... I look deadly in formalwear.
(But then, who doesn't?)
Tomorrow: fancy earrings!!!

A tux and fancy earrings? I can hardly bear the excitement.
I actually made it to Toronto last weekend, intending to take in some gear shopping (for which there ultimately wasn't time) and the Sci Fi con (for which there was).
It was great to be able to take in the con, because it's something the girl and I tried to do last year (in less complicated times) but were unable to due to my relative...

The TV is on behind me as I try to not waste another weekend just playing World of Warcraft.
I think the MTV movie awards are on. Whatever it is, it's some obnoxious b-list celebration of something or other.
Currently, some horrific band is doing a mangled and nearly atonal reworking of Don't You Forget About Me as part of a "tribute" to the Breakfast...

I think we've already had this conversation, but here goes: yes, I believe HBO beats up on their characters, but to be honest, it doesn't bother me. Yes, they live in a hyper-reality, but I still find all the feelings they put me through real.

^^^ And at the end of the day you feel it's still probably pretty good to be a Fisher.
I think the reason that I'm so moody lately is I'm having a few problems coming to grips with the fact that I'm turning 30 this year.
Not like massive problems or anything...
But I'm going through the classic "what have I done", "what am i going to do", "what does it all mean" sort of thing.
Hmm.
Update: As I was looking for guitar...

When you turn 30 somebody secretly takes you aside and answers those questions. I can't say anything more, excpet that the knowledge comes too late.
that would be so cool to be roommates! I'm sure you are an excellent roommate. Probably better than Angelina Jolie, because who wants those two kids around all the time?
Fortunately, we are across the street from U of T, so renting for Sept. 1 should still not be a problem. I just wish I had written down the phone numbers of the people who called after we had rented it. or that evil sprint Canada didn't limit my mailbox to approximately 4 messages, or I would have at least saved them all.

Yesterday, I answered a "why did you do that" style question with "Because I have severe emotional problems."
How's that for honesty?
(I did it in the context of saying "I was a big jerk and overreacted and I'm very sorry." It's not like "my severe emotional problems" is some phantom dude who does all this bad stuff and blames it on me. Sort of...

I find people blaming things on their emotional problems rather than taking responsibility for their actions extremely annoying, but I'm sure that has more to do with my experiences than it does you. Hope it worked for you. 
dholokov:
it's very honest unless one of your problems involves creating false intimacy by lying about the nature of your emotional problems.
I went and saw The Devil's Rejects tonight with some fine folks from work. It was approximately a million times better than House of 1000 Corpses, but it would be pretty hard not to be an improvement. I'm still not much for what I call 'cruel horror', but for a loving ode to splatter pics (and as the Thelma & Louise of the genre), it...

Heheh. A few days ago Katie's mom said that Katie is gonna wake up soon, look around and just say "Where the fuck am I?" It's true though. She'll be fine and all this will just be a footnote. A painful one to experience, but it will just be a small part of the story that is the rest of her life.

Whee!!!
I am also officially pissed off with copy protection. Now, I'm the copy protection/artist rights/intellectual property nazi.
But all I wanna do is copy a bunch of my legitimately purchased CDs over to my legitimately purchased iPod so I can have a bigass random playlist of my entire legitimately purchased CD collection on the seven-ish hour drive I've got...

running photoshop on a pc is like making fire by rubbing two sticks together. i'll stick with my slick zippo, thank you very much.
There is a special level of hell reserved for anybody who spoils Harry Potter for me or anybody else before I have a chance to read it.
At the time of the last one's launch, my then-gf and I made getting to the bookstore the very first order of the day (that involved quite a walk back then, in my pre-Fleamobile days). I let her...

In retrospect, that headline is hilarious. I would have been pissed then, but it makes me laugh now, just because of the sheer audacity.
I just finished it. I don't plan to breathe a word about it to anyone unless THEY start the conversation and let me know exactly where they are. I'm really good at not giving things away, even unintentional things like using certain adjectives (slow, depressing, uplifting, etc).
I avoided the internet, SG, and my email. I'm glad they released it on a Saturday because I didn't want to chance someone at work crowing about it. OOtP was ruined for me, so I was extra-paranoid this time.

Apparently the T.O. star's reviewer stayed up all night Friday and had a review up by very early Saturday morning.
And I'm waiting until either the paperback comes out or someone is willing to lend me their copy. so I might have to be careful for a considerable period of time.

the one I'm scared of the most
won't you scare me up a little bit of love?
I have a very similar white stripes story. I had a copy of the "white stripes" album from a while back, and I didn't like it very much at the time. I loved 7 nation army but wasn't about to invest in the full album, esp. after I heard hardest button. Then a workmate made a copy of elephant and told me that I must listen to it (I know you hate copying, but it in this case it lead me to go straight out and buy get behind me satan and white blood cells. Now even the girl who sits behind us and previously listened only to HIllary Duff likes 'my doorbell'. They may actually be universally liked.

your living situation sounds pretty decent, i'd live with a roommate if thats the way i could have it.
sadly, i've had to deal with jerks. But I have my own place SO soon, i can't wait
I have a suspicion I know what muffin batter feels like in those last dreadful moments when it hears the oven door open

Yesterday (after a delicious nacho breakfast), I bought a joystick.
A joystick.
I haven't owned one of those since I had a Commodore 64.
And yet, here it is. On my fucking desk.
It's like I've discovered a hitherto unknown rung downwards on my descent into total geekhood.

According to my friends, it was better than the first one, though that isn't saying much since we barely made it through with our souls and psyches intact.
