Destroying your childhood piece by piece
WARNING: Neither of the following links are work safe. The first is out because of an excessive amount of flesh (albeit male), and the second is out due to lewd language and graphics.
I first heard of Albino Black Sheep when my sister sent me the link for Yatta! (Happatai, the Greenleaves guys). Now, there's another sample to be enjoyed. It's rude, it's lewd, it features everyone's favourite blue, three-apple-tall, wood sprites, and copious references to tongues and asses.

Amber Forever
This has nothing to do with the roleplaying game.
It's got everything to do with a fictitious fourteen year-old girl in California and her online misadventures.
Textually not work-safe. Graphically, it's fine.

Fries don't burn people. People burn people.
I'm really not sure what to say about this, yet, but someone that chases and attacks a four year-old boy with french fries is not in her right mind. If it's the only mind she has, it shouldn't be allowed to continue loose in the wild.

Glad I don't have kids...
Everything you need to dress your kids up as a pimp daddy and his hos.
Funny how the pimp daddy suit makes me think of Steven Tyler...

Myopic Ignorant Fools
This sounds like a perfectly reasonably written article, doesn't it? Well, subject matter being that of a gossip column aside:
Kiddies, did mother not tell you last week that Divine Miss M just signed to do "The Stepford Wives" with Nicole Kidman and Glenn Close which Frank Oz is directing?It's really too bad that what was actually printed in the New York Post on Monday, 12 May, 2003, was the following:Well, pay attention. I now tell you that Bette, who lives in New York, and Nicole, who has a place in New York, and Glenn, who's always stayed in New York, are going to film this in New York.
"The Stepford Wives" will be shot in Long Island City. At Kaufman Astoria Studios. A shoot of several months. The sets are being built as we speak.

Not in SARS-larded Toronto. Not in any other such throbbing urban metropolis as Halifax or Nova Scotia or whiz-bang pulsating downtown Alberta. Not anyplace in ungrateful unneighborly Canada, that northern suburb right outside Buffalo which wouldn't stand with us, which works cheap, which has tried to lure Hollywood away from New York, which has been looking to con even New York-themed projects into believing their antiseptic boring streets could look like ours and which is desperate to make movies instead of Mounties.

Years ago, in college, I had two buckets representing the reasonable and rational people in the US in one and the ignorant, close-minded, and incorrigible in the other. Most of the time, I like to think that the first bucket is fuller by far, but in the years since, I keep wondering if I shouldn't be moving more of the pieces from the first bucket and dropping them into the second.
And if nothing else fails, I'll lambast Cindy Adams for her lack of journalistic professionalism.
Even if it is just a gossip column.

You're In Control
Coming soon to a bar near you, a new game called You're In Control. Alas, the ladies may be a little out of luck on this one, if they want to play. You see... the game interface is a urinal.

The Waiting Game
The worst part about knowing that you'll hear about a decision "by the end of the day" is that you have to somehow find a way to pass the time without obsessing about the result or when you will hear of it.
Went for a third round interview today; it's the same job that I've been interviewing for these past two weeks. Field has been narrowed down to two. This is my personal American Idol final. I want this job.
In other news, Ottawa beat New Jersey in the Eastern Conference finals over the weekend. Kickass. Three more wins to go.
Oh, and for all you right wing ice cream fans: Star Spangled Ice Cream.

Bowling for Soup
It's like a bad movie.
She is looking through me.
If you were me, then you'd be
Screaming, "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably
Trying to get the girl all the bad guys want.

Bon Voyage
The TIE Book, she's gone to Houston.
In English, I took my laptop in to the shop again today, with the full expectation that it would be shipped to "depot" (Apple service center) where it would be fixed. The problem? My screen if hosed. Well, it's not severely hosed, but it has a persistent vertical line on the right side and an intermittent vertical line on the left side. Fortunately, my laptop is still covered by the 90-day warranty from the last time it was sent away, when it was shipped to and from "depot" three times and had its motherboard replaced thrice, processor once, hard drive once, and had its memory ripped out.
Sometimes I wonder how much of her original soul is still left.
In the meantime, I'll have to fire up the old W98 PC again and transplant my life to it until the laptop comes back. Talk about loving the one you're with...
In other news, I did a second round interview for a Network Engineer position today and I thought it went well. They said they'd be ruminating over the candidates tomorrow--there are two, aside from myself--and render a decision by the end of the week. Good vibes, prayers, or other positive action of your choice on my behalf is appreciated.
Now, I think I'm going to settle my nerves with some sushi. Mmmm... raw fish...

Nature runs its course
No matter how much concrete or reinforcement you put in, eventually, you have to admit that Nature will run its course, even if it means that your State symbol collapses in a heap of rubble. Gone is New Hampshire's "Old Man of the Mountain" that is featured prominently on its quarter.

Stupid Line
I have a feeling I'm going to have to surrender the laptop again for a bit. When I got it back in March, there was an intermittent problem with a pale magenta line one pixel wide that would appear vertically on teh screen about 7/32 of the way from the right edge.
It's no longer intermittent.
It's no longer consistently pale magenta.
It's no longer consistently one pixel wide.
Better get this back to the shop before the 90-day warranty on the repair is up.

Severely Up and Down Day
I'm not going to say much at the moment, but I'm pissed off. Pissed off, because I have to deal with medical insurance. Nothing is consistent. The billed charges aren't consistent. The claims resolutions are consistent. And most of all, the part where I have to pay money in the order of four times what I expected to have to pay is inconsistent.
On the flip side, though, I found out that I made the second round of interviews for a position I interviewed for yesterday. Go me.
And it looks like Tammy's free for lunch next Monday, so that's cool. (More on Tammy when I finish banging out the post about the wedding this past weekend, but I'm not in the best of moods to do that right now.)
