Thank you, SBC. I’m glad you are my ISP.
LJ meme
I got sucked in:
Most know the drill about the interview meme. Take a look at here if you are confused.
1. What is the funniest thing you have ever heard escape
Hm. A three-way-tie:
a. “Nothing but evil comes from marshmellow peeps.”
b. “Commence the goat sodomy”
c. “Pride is for men without hard-ons”
2. If you were stranded on a remote desert island while the rest of the world obliterated itself with a nuclear/chemical/biological/whatever war, who would be the one person you would want to have with you to re-propagate the human race? Why?
3. In that same situation, what one entertainment item would you want to have with you (assume all neccessary support would be included – if you chose a CD, you’d get a player and lifetime batteries by default, for example)? Why?
This is tough. I think it would be some RPG like champions because part of that is also having paper and coloured pencils which I could use for art and other fun things as well as RPG.
4. Assume Petaluma blew up. Where would you want to move, and why?
Another hard one. How did Petaluma blow up? I’ll take it to mean if not Petaluma, then where to live? I’ll answer this in a a) reality answer and b) fantasy answer:
a) San Francisco: We kinda want to move there anyway. It’s hip, it’s moving, it’s full of fun, attractive, tolerant people. Culture, Bars, Shopping.
b) Wellington, NZ: It’s gorgeous and cool (so I hear). It is also close to the south pacific, an english-speaking country, most the population go barefoot. It’s a beachbum’s paradise. Plus it is hip.
5. After you die, you return as one of the undead. What kind of monstrosity are you, and why?
I would like to be a spectre that lingers in minds and compels people to do its will. Eeeevil Spectre!
It is nice to have 2
If not Dean, this guy should do as well. Anyone know about him?
Cognative Dissonance
It is hard being a philanthropist when people, on average, suck.

Malaise
Feeling strange and sore and sick all day: I think I’ll take off early. Home, here I come.
Hansel, get ready!
Fahrvergnügen
I have been converted by manual transmission. I recently learned to drive Manual in our Convertible Cabrio and I have been consumed with Fahrvergnügen. I realized this I think when I drove the 8 hour trip home from SoCal to NoCal and was sad to have to stop driving. Taking Hansel (that’s his name, hansel) a couple of days this week has driven (pun unintended) this home to me: I love driving.
Now I have _never_ loved driving before, always saw it as a chore or a bother. I love it now, but only in manual transmission. I drive my Automatic Toyota and it is back to the drudgery. All I looked forward to in driving was a nice enclosed space to blast my music.
Now I have a soundtrack to a driving experience!
Farhvergnügen. I sound like a frikken commercial.
So Thanks to
Who’s up for a road trip? Hansel is.
quitting
I think we should all quit our jobs, walk out and kick every person in the head on the fucking way out.
GenX revolt!
The dude abides.
This sure sounds like fun.
I could really use a caucasian myself.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The movie:
We saw it last night at 10:00.
How can any decent company watch a movie like this and release it? It really should be against some kind of intellectual honesty fraud law.
Worst
Movie
Ever
(and my expectations were low already!)
I’m going to kick Sean Connery square in the nuts the next time I see him and shout “You owe me sleep and $9 dollars you washed up has-been!”
