Hmm. http://www.stupidfilter.org

I think I like. (I also find it amusing - and appropriate - that the "random stupid comment" sampler seems to generate mostly Youtube comments. It *is* one of the major hotbeds of stupidity on the Internets.)

Fuck yes. If only it could work, I think it could significantly lower my blood pressure.
ninjatech:
I started off with the first chapter, and no doubt I'll go from there as so far I really like pretty much everything about the game. Do you have MSN or any other way we could communicate real time?

Edit: Never mind.

*thrills*

My 360 arrived tonight. It's all set up, works great (although I did have a brief Red Ring of Death scare when I set it flat on the ground. Standing on end seems to have fixed it.), and even included the Xbox Live headset when they claimed it wouldn't. It's kind of shitty and I don't think I'll be using it, but more stuff...

Always nice to get new toys. I'm debating picking up a 360 when I get my tax refund.

I need to stay far, far away from eBay. I start poking around there on Tuesday hoping to score a cheap laptop to load full of RPG sourcebooks in PDF format and maybe use for Wifi and hotseat gaming and that sort of thing. By yesterday, I've wound up bidding on an Xbox 360, because, dammit, it was sitting at like $60 and that would...

I received another membership offer from the AARP today. At first this bemused me, but on further reflection I can see their point. After all, in six months I'll be 25 years old. Ancient. Decrepit. Mere steps from the grave.

Also: Apparently Zodiac is rated R for "some strong killings". (among other things). This makes me unreasonably happy.
emotedcreations:
It's insane huh? I know I should be used to it, but I've lived in TN, FL, and Mexico since the last time I spent any significant time up North.

I just drove up from KY and literally watched the temp drop from 50 to 1 over a 5.5 hour drive. Then I had to climb a ladder, crawl across a slanted roof on my stomach because of the ice to open a window which I couldn't feel cause my fingers were frozen through.

But yeah, I'll fold to your bet...

Jury duty, day 1:

Woke up nearly five hours earlier than usual, ate hurried breakfast of instant noodles (yakisoba, pretty good stuff really). Caught limited stop bus downtown - surprisingly fast trip. Goes from my area pretty much straight downtown with very few stops in between. Always nice.

Took a while to find the courthouse - the building I thought was the courthouse was actually...

It could be that God just hates everyone in this state, so he's moved us all to where we can be frozen at once. eeek

malkav11 Why would I yell at someone on my friends list? smile

That's my general policy, but apparently sometimes your friends call you retarded and mean it (see FTR and a recent thread).

On New Year's Eve I got to try Rock Band on the 360, and managed to adapt to using the guitar controller to play bass, sometimes even on medium (though it varies tremendously by song). I had enough fun with this that I wanted to play it again, a lot. But I wanted to play it from the ground up - the band world tour...

I'm feeling mostly better now. A bit congested, but that's almost a way of life for me.

My mom's husband entered a novel in some sort of competition Amazon is having (I really don't know the details), and has managed to make it to the semifinals. If you're curious, an excerpt can be found here. I am told positive reader reviews play some...

So, I had this huge thing typed out and then I lost Internet connection when I hit post so I lost it all. I'll retype it a bit later even though I can't remember exactly what I wrote.

I remember how it ended though!

I'm glad you're feeling better.

I'm so proud of myself for remembering that much of it. Ha! So yes, expect a better response a little later today.

Euurgh. Sick. Sicker than I recall being in a long time. All of me aches, my head spins when I move at all, there's a nasty taste in my mouth and I have no appetite whatsoever. At least I haven't needed to puke so far. Still, even with periodic sojourns to bed I've been pretty much useless all day. Can't really concentrate enough for things...

The secrete to not getting sick is to not let anyone touch you, or breathe near you. Being a hermit makes this more easily accomplished. Oh, and wash your hands often! Wear rubber gloves when possible. Don't talk to strangers.

That's from a handbook I'm working on called "You Too Can Be Neurotic".

I am awake.

In the morning.

This feels so unnatural I can't even describe it. (And no, I'm not still up from last night, which would be semi-natural, for me.)

Boy, this has been a night of stuff-getting. My Amazon packages arrived (almost a week after I ordered them with 2-day shipping...I guess New Year's must've really fucked things up.), containing my $6 dollar new MPD Psycho I DVD, which I ordered to complement the $3 used copies of volumes II and III I picked up back in Iowa.

Also my $20 new Carnivale Season...

Random Russian music videos:







The first group(/singer) is called Linda, the second Demo. That's only a transliteration, of course, I can't easily produce the Cyrillic versions. Got turned on to both of them by my Russian teacher* using their music videos as part of her teaching (among others that either didn't appeal to me as much or I don't remember the name closely enough to...

I just think that the only people who would honestly expect that women would really vote for anyone just because she's another woman doesn't really pay any attention to females and how they're socialized in Western culture. wink

I'm back. Yay for 6 hour early morning bus rides. Stumbled off to bed at about 7:30 AM. Am mildly annoyed that a package that shipped back on the 18th still hasn't arrived, and the tracking says it's been scanned at the same California post office three times now without anything else happening, which is bizarre.

Now to get caught up on SG.
