Badass. I just got the number of the literal girl-next-door.

Probably not interested, she's pretty muslim. It's a tragedy, she's super cute.

What's wrong with Muslims?

[Mentalist]

let's see: strict "i'll kill you" parents, upbringing that likely restricts much socializing, likely parent-induced dislike of drinking....

all likely valid concerns.

What's the deal with the commercials for eau de cologne for men? How is a half-naked Adonis of a man dancing around in the sea splashing water on himself going to get men to buy that particular perfume?



Also, I'll have a drink with a ridiculously dirty name, please!

The whole 'fraternizing with infidels' thing is apparently an issue. I basically had to threaten to burn her apartment down to get her number.

Also, she apparently wore a burqa for most of her life. She's only started lightening up, and the whole 'white man cometh' is freaking her out.

I'd take a huge step back, if I were you. That situation can get real ugly, real fast. She won't be the problem, most likely, but her brothers and father on the other hand...It would be like sticking your junk into a hornet's nest...

Oh please, I'm not retarded. As soon as I saw the flashing-lights and STOP: DO NOT PASS GO signs everywhere I dodged into cordial acquaintance mode.

Simple. They're not targeting men, they're targeting women who will buy that cologne for their man hoping the scent will turn him into said half-naked Adonis.

I don't want my bf to smell like a self-obsessed douchebag...

[MTS]

And I'm sure he thanks you for that.

But some people find the people from Jersey Shore attractive apparently, so there's no accounting for taste.

Fucking fuckity fuck I've got a headache. Migraine thread made me laugh. I have them all the fucking time. Thanks DNA! Alcohol doesn't help though. Anyhow, in lieu of writing a thesis in the Groove thread:

DADA was repealed. Yay USA!
Dream Act failed. Fucking USA.
START is actually being debated. Hooray M.A.D.!
Homeworld is installed on my computer. Hooray 1999 computer games!
Fucking Homeworld is harder than balls. Fucking 1999 computer games.

That's about all I've got.

Tequila is the fucking devil. Long live vodka.
I like a cologne that is subtly sweet. Makes me feel all perty and whatnot.

Blah.

[Mentalist]

Tequiila is great in shot form: blends well with vodka in drink form, and leaves a very smoth hangover (unlike vodka nad beer..... never again, till the next time)

anyhoo, it's 3 PM, i've finally forced myself to rouse, my bus to the airport is in an hour, and I have Stonewielder waiting at home. Life is fucking sweet.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

My hangover has just about gone. Was disgustingly fucked up today, following last night's awful work xmas party. Things were said which shouldn't have been, many people were upset, and all in all I drank too much. I also am amazed I didn't end up with my face smashed in when I felt compelled to argue with an ex squaddie on the night bus, who was expressing some less than palatable views on immigration. But all's well that ends well. Until work on tuesday when I suspect my reception may be slightly frosty.

[Darkwatch]

Have a good flight Ment.

TT, you need to lay off the booze. Seriously, I'm worried you'll have sclerosis soon.



My night's going to be nice and smooth. Get some reading in, continue working on my nanowrimo story (yes I'm aware it's over but the story isn't).

I've also checked out a few other video series on the Escapist.
One in particular leaves me perplexed. Top 5 with Lisa Foiles.

The concept is Ms. Foiles makes a top five list of something found in video games. A kind of categorical review.
Similar in concept to Amanda Walsh's Top ten "insert category" music videos on Much Music, for those of you who are Canadian, between the ages of 19 and 28 and watched Much Music even briefly.

Over all there's a prevailing sense of trying far too hard. There are a few bits where she pulls off funny lines and or a good set up, though they are drowned out by that sense of trying too hard. Though there is potential that well developed could easily make an excellent show.

Many of the things that bug me, as well as the try hard atmosphere, are well describe in an article from Cracked.
She would really benefit from reading it:

The 5 Biggest Mistakes Women (Like Me!) Make On The Internet by Christina H.

On a more nitpicky note:

One of the things that struck me in her first episode was her clothes. I've rarely seen skirts that short, if it isn't a glorified belt. Combined with the mid drift baring tank top I was reminded of the kind of clothes 16 year olds used to wear and she is clearly in her twenties. Not to mention that those clothing items are incredibly passé (yes I know that sounds like a fashionista gripe, but I was never a fan of those clothing items and human psychology being what it is will latch on to any argument that supports my ideas).
She also needs to think about varying her pose. The hands on hips routine starts being aggressively redundant and stiff very quickly.

Otherwise that's about it.

Also my apartment smells like steak.

[Mentalist]

I is home.

its great, except for parents wanting to know every little thing about what i'm planning to do with my life (so what else is new?)

But, the food I don't have to cook, buy, or go to the cafeteria for is awesome, I'm about to start Stonewielder, and starting tomorrow gonna catch up with a lot of people.

my break is gonna continue being swell.

[MTS]

My sister just gave me $80 to do her 800-word project assignment due tomorrow. For 10c a word, she must be pretty desperate. She's two years into an architecture degree, in case you were wondering.

1) DADT
2) DREAM was never going to happen
3) Homeworld is awesome.
4) Tequila is what I like to call "Mistake Juice"
I have never had a night drinking tequila (with friends) that did not end up without either personal injury, pregnancy, or a hospital visit (you try falling 4 stories off a roof and walking away from it...)

[MTS]

I fell off a trampoline and landed on my back on concrete while on tequila the other night. As in, I was jumping and my trajectory took me off the tramp and onto the concrete lol it is truly an evil drink.

You did better than me, I'm still fucking making the payments for that particular night....

On a random note: The people you meet drunk always seem nicer than the people you meet sober....

[Slow Ben]

Morning Tricksters!

I think this is the first time i've been on a computer in a week....
