...'Cause you know that I can.

I lied. XD

Literally stumbled across this one just a few minutes ago. Dunno much about him, but I like his stuff, so check it out:

Real content soon, I promise. Just not tonight.

This is something I've wanted to try for awhile. Once a week, I plan to feature a site I think others might enjoy or find interesting.

To a select group of fundies:

As I recall, when we were fleeing Hurricane Katrina, many of you took the opportunity, while so many of us were in pain from the loss of homes, livelihoods and loved ones, to claim that our suffering was "divine retribution" for our "sins." Never mind that the FQ--the biggest "Den of sin" as you often put it--went all but untouched and that some of the areas hardest-hit were among the most conservative and devout in the area.

So...now that an an area that is home to many of your congregations is getting pasted, does that give us the right--never mind that a majority of the people there don't share your views, whatever the lot of you might believe--to call it divine retribution for your hypocricy and hate-mongering?

Just curious,

(No, I don't actually believe that this is anything beyond the usual "Shit Happens" that everyone has to face from time to time. It's just funny how they forget that...so long as the shit's falling on someone else, anyway.)

You scored as Storyteller. The Storyteller is in it for the plot: the sense of mystery and the fun of participating in a narrative that has the satisfying arc of a good book or movie. He enjoys interacting with well-defined NPCs, even preferring antagonists who have genuine motivations and personality to mere monsters. To the Storyteller, the greatest reward of the game is participating in a compelling story with interesting and unpredictable plot threads, in which his actions and those of his fellow characters determine the resolution.

- Run in this year's Crescent City Classic.

It's one of those "things I've always said I would do someday, but haven't." But the training schedule (which incidentally, begins tomorrow) looks simple enough, and the afterparty's pretty cool too. I'll update my progress here.

Since I'm much too lazy to go back and recap 2006, I'll just post my resolutions.

( This year, I hereby resolve to... )

In an unrelated matter, I just realized that I had the journal set to screen non-Friends. (Obviously I'd set it that way at some point; damned if I can remember when though.) Anyway, 'tis fixed. Only anon posts are still screened, only because I've gotten spam on past entries.


Anyway, welcome 2007. Try to suck less than '05 and '06, mmmkay?

WARNING: Do not watch the following unless you are prepared to--as one person put it--"die the death of a thousand cutes."

No, that's not a typo.

My co-worker's being passive-aggressive, my team leader's going nuts, our GM's lost her fucking mind, my PDA's non-op (don't know why), nad I just broke my cell phone by leaving it on top of a door closer by mistake.

Good times.

Please. Lucky I remember where I went to high school, let alone anything I learned there.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland   "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Heh. It couldn't place my accent properly.

NO ONE CAN. ^_^

Hope your day's treating you well. Mine is (aside from the friggin' alcohol-induced insomnia =/).

Anyhow, I came by this link awhile ago. Methinks I'll be hunting her album down soon...I'm digging the piano riff, seeing as it's sampled from a Mardi Gras staple sog (the name of which I can't remember, unfortunately). Still, it's good stuff:

Come to think of it, I've seen this song played out in pretty much every FQ bar I've ever been to. =)

Title of HP Book 7 Announced

..Can't say I care for it all that much. Then again, I wasn't too wild about Half-Blood Prince, either. (The title, I mean. The book was OK.)

Ah well. We'll see.

Fuckin' Redskins. ::sighs::

Least I've got beer.

Found a new theme. Magnífico.

Best of all, I haven't seen anyone else using this one yet. Added bonus. :)

Just needs a few minor tweaks...

Me no am dead yet. What I thought was food poisoning turned out to be just a stomach bug, albeit a fairly serious one. Long story short, everything I tried to eat or drink left my body--violently--within an hour, using both exits. Became severely dehydrated, so I ended up going into the ER for a bag of IV fluids. Good times.

Even better, I was give prescriptions for antibiotics and a anti-nausea pill. The combined effects of these left me feeling drowsy, and feeling a weird sensation--not unlike an electric shock--everytime I'm startled or surprised (the latter has faded for the most part, thankfully). Then had to go home and finish a fifteen-page paper due at 4 PM today, no excuses, on which nearly half my semester grade hinges.

Another long story short, I haven't slept at all since Tuesday night (ad not very much then, either). Am off to rectify this immediately.

P.S.: And am I alone in thinking LJ's new "Update Journal" page is a dog? And an ass-ugly dog at that?
