Teka, just so you know: the posts you make in the 'whining' section do not get added to your post count.

Vince 08-15-2011 08:01 PM

Congrats hun... Man I could never work at a place like that, I'd spend my entire paycheck there!

WMMD - not worshipping the porcelin God. Although I'm pretty close to feeling like I need to. Three days is enough!

And Kontan says there is no God.. bah humbug!

It's fucking gorgeous outside!
Perfect weather for going to the zoo, or rollerblading, or getting shitty.

I just giggled uncontrollably when I thought about the CC action figure with roller blades.

i just found out my Mom is getting married next February. She's never been married and probably thought she never would.

The guy she's marrying is great too.

i'm really happy about this. :D

Grausamkeit 08-18-2011 06:14 AM

That's great news, Vin!

REALLY?!?! That's cool on so many levels! I'm glad you think the guy is quality. I'm glad you think she's going to be happy. I'm glad she's reached a point where she's optimistic about the outlook of being bonded to a guy for (in theory) the rest of her life, and that the concept pleases here.

I hope they have years and years of love, happiness, mutual support and most important of all, friendship.

So, one of the toughest questions in your world could be 'what does a dutilful, loving son get his mom on the occasion of her marriage?' I know I would struggle with that a bit. I suspect the answer isn't necessarily about money, but I bet there are a few genuine and sincere things you could do that might make them both happy. Have you given this any thought?

Hehe, yeah man i'm still stoked about it. :D

Luckily i have until February to think of something for them...come mid-January i'll probably be then freaking out trying to finally get that right gift for them. lol

Coming up with this really dark and swampy guitar riff on my 7 string for Vinces music project. It sounds like a monsters footsteps stomping through the sludge as if from a moonshine induced nightmare !!!. :D

As obvious as it sounds, I experienced the realization that two people cannot be one in the same. The heart can cheat the mind into searching for absolute compatibility, but uniquely, we are alone in the world and no one can take that away from us. :)

No one can love or understand you like you can, take that and shove it up their asses.

Sounds funky indeed!

Getting most of my cleaning done for tomorrow. I hate cleaning, even when there's not much to do.

Got my tickets paid for. Going to see a fresh 35mm print of Starship Troopers on the big screen at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema tonight with all audience members getting participatory cap guns and in-theater LIVE PYROTECHNICS! YAY! I can't wait!

Action Pack Houston - STARSHIP TROOPERS

I love the way the Drafthouse doesn't just show movies ... it makes them an event!

I'm told this shrubbery is cut into the shape of a duck. If so, that duck is a total dick. http://t.co/Viwu69t

That's an awfully big 'duck'. ;)

One of the guys I work with had a day off today, but he popped in to show everyone his little Pug puppy.

OMFG. IT'S TOO CUTE!

She headbutts you and tries to bite your hair, and she's got a head like a little cannonball and a cheeky little monkey face! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! :)

I had to restrain myself from scooping her up, hiding her in my bra and pugnapping her :p

Today while I was walking home from the store, I saw this woman with this handicapped kid walking some ways away from me. She would clap and make gestures to keep him focused on walking.
Eventually I caught up to them, and I noticed what I did not expect.
Despite the kid stopping every other moment to look at something, the woman was smiling and seemed happy.
It made my day to see that despite being in a situation that many would consider tough, she had the energy to smile.

Finding my Type O Negative DVD that I thought I`d lost for ages !!!. :)

Ben Lahnger 08-25-2011 03:40 AM

Finding this Muppet Show Theme Song remake featuring OK-Go, and of course ... the Muppets.

It nicely parodies OK-Go's previous music videos, has some interesting special effects (I like the part where the Muppets are seen controlling the band members like they are puppets) and a few moments of wicked humor.

It's worth your time.

A few months ago while searching online I found all six episodes of Tim Minear's prematurely cancelled Fox television series "Drive" starring Nathan Fillion, including the two unaired episodes. I got into that show immediately, so the cancellation after only 3 nights was particularly painful, and I never did get to see the final 2 filmed episodes.

Using free software to convert the AVI files to DVD format and burn the DVDs complete with episode selection menus, I am watching a Drive mini-marathon this weekend, and that's made me happy.

The quality actually looks pretty good on my TV. It turned out that printing the DVD case cover sheets was more difficult than burning the DVDs!
