Birthday
According to at least one person, I am now officially gay for going to the Mall of America and playing MagiQuest with people for a friend's birthday. I feel this is mitigated somewhat by the fact that (since we had to enter "Magi names") I entered my name as Sir Schmoopy.

Apparently the "of Awesometon" was too long to add on.

More ADD for society
I've recently begun noticing that people who are used to using text messaging a lot from their phones seem to have greater and greater trouble as time goes by with emails. It is slowly becoming the case that an email that's a couple of paragraphs is considered a "long email," and tends to make people want to put it off "until later." I sent emails to each person in my gaming group this week, and I'll be surprised if half of them read the emails. There probably wasn't a single one that was longer than a half or 3/4 of a page. Sad. Ah well, I updated how to get to my place through the road construction at the end. Let's see who got to that part...

Oh Crap!
I don't normally post those random Family Guy clips you find all over the place, but I had to hunt this one down after seeing the episode:

Battle of the Jaywalk
This is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Particularly part 2.

Current Mood: amused

Florida University
I note that there are colleges called "University of Florida" and "Florida State University" and such.

I think they just wanted to avoid the abbreviation "FU."

Current Mood: amused

Art Fairs
Someone told me the Powderhorn Art Fair was better than the Uptown one. I disagree, but both were worth going to. I question the wisdom of having them all on one weekend, but then I'm just not cut out for a whole weekend of art fairs if I don't get to see or buy enough stuff I like. Some stuff was really good though. Just not the rain.

Current Mood: tired

Is there an echo?
Seems like everyone I've called or emailed over the last couple days (who I don't talk to all the time anyway) has utterly failed to get back to me so far. Was thinking I'd have separate plans this afternoon and this evening, and none of them happened. No one calling. No one texting. Did the tornado suck everyone up? Hello...llo...o..?

Current Mood: restless

Hit me in the face with a soccer ball
This just kills me.

atillathehung ought to appreciate it too (much as you hate youtube posts, man).

Mother Lover

Man, why did I only find out about this recently? This sequel to Dick in a Box is awesome.

Current Mood: amused

Milestone
Well, I finished editing the first third of my pirate novel. Privateer novel. Whatever. I've got 186 pages in 9 chapters so far. It took more editing than I anticipated, but I think I've done a pretty good job to now. I guess I'll see what the three people who have been asking about it think.

Current Mood: productive

Neat
Is this guy for real? I've researched stuff about this online and can't find a single negative review by anyone who has used it. I think it's pretty awesome if it's real.

Current Mood: impressed

Various media happenings
Finally saw The Shawshank Redemption today, not to mention the Pride and Prejudice miniseries the other day. Liked both a lot. Plans have been hijacked a lot for me lately, but I've gotten a fair bit of writing done for just a few days, and I've not minded the bit of rain we had.

On another topic, why is it that girls who have taken voice lessons always seem to think that using vibrato is something one should do all the time? In my view, doing so counteracts any positive gains of said voice lessons.

Current Mood: relaxed
Current Music: Selena: "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" Remix

Update
So I'm back to writing again. Whee!

In other news, what the hell is up with traffic in this town? Are they shutting down all the highways in the twin cities at once for shits and giggles or what?

Current Mood: good

Minesweeper, the movie
Found a preview for an awesome new movie!

Hahahahaha.

Current Mood: amused

Efforts for the Trivial
Wow, someone put a lot of effort into this:

It's well-done, even if it is entirely too fanboy/girl-ish.

Current Mood: impressed

Defenses
Hmm. Discovered today that I've been banned from my ex's LJ. Funny that I only found out today and through a fairly neutral comment I attempted to make.

I don't really feel that's warranted, as I only ban people who make a complete nuisance of themselves on my journal, but it seems like people's defenses always take things a step farther than they need to go just so they can feel in control of the sucky aspects of life. But then if that weren't true, everyone would get along okay in the first place.

Current Mood: annoyed

Turtles all the way down
Some days I just think of simpler ways of putting the much more complex things I'd thought earlier. When that happens, a couple of different things happen as well:

-I note how one reason I come up with these first is because I'm the only one paying attention to it.

-I note how not simplifying them in the first place makes avoidant people able to justify writing them off.

-I note how pointless it is to bring any of it up because of the previous two points.

And the respect for such people continues to degrade...

Current Mood: cynical
Current Music: Ocean Blue: "I've Sung One Too Many Songs For A Crowd That Didn't Want To Hear"

Starcraft Stupidest Moments
This is some funny Starcraft shit. If you can excuse the crass music...

Current Mood: amused

Nightmare
I hate nightmares. I can count how many I've had in the last 20 years or so on one hand. Today I woke up after my ex, her bf, and her bf's ex tricked me into an airtight vault and then locked me in. Thankfully I didn't dream through the running-out-of-air part. Ugh.

Current Mood: cranky

Awesome Video Game
Wow, check out this highly detailed and plot-rich video game.
