I am reading some articles on DIGG and I’ve noticed that the trend for anything Tea Party related is the following: – How A Prankster Plans To Destroy The Tea Party Movement – 47% of Tea Partiers Pay No Federal Income Taxes – Foes of tea party movement to infiltrate rallies – Obama: Tax Protesters [...]

Ah, Goode’s Q… Just like morphine, you know how to make all the pain go away. Seriously, though, if everything can go wrong during my day, there’s always Goode’s Q. ‘Southern Comfort’ without either the alcohol content, or fathers with shotguns. Admittedly, I acquired a taste for Cajun food from my mom’s cooking. It wasn’t [...]

I got to Home Depot a few minutes before the appointment I’ve scheduled a week in advance. I go to the kitchen cabinetry section and patiently wait for the of the kitchen designer I made the appointment with to show up. Fifteen minutes after my appointment deadline I start getting the feeling that I’ve been brushed off.

After another ten minutes of pacing between the kitchen cabinetry section and the kitchen appliances section, hoping to run into one of the ‘well-educated and professional workers’, I finally catch a rep from the appliances section and ask for her help locating the missing cabinetry designer I’ve been waiting too long for. She asks who it was and I give the designer’s name and she said, “She called in sick this morning.”

From the GreaterFalls.com blog: Starbucks was PACKED this morning – amazing how many people were there! They’re closing at 6:00 pm this evening, but don’t worry — they’re opening up at 3:00 a.m. tomorrow (Friday). That’s right – THREE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING, so that folks who plan to do some way-early Black Friday shopping [...]

Am I an ‘expert’ in theater management? No, but I have been in many different types of theaters, from small towns in Sanders County, to the Carmike and IMAX theaters around Seattle, WA. I won’t blame JUST the theater, but there’s a lot to be desired with the movie-going experience here.

The cost of food and drinks is ABSURD, especially for the giant boxes of candy that are 80% air and cardboard, and the stale popcorn that tastes like packing-peanuts in olive oil.

If the staff is not physically absent, then they usually are mentally. But I can’t complain too much about them because I never see any other employees outside of the ticket-booth attendant, the ticket-tearer-upper, and the one or two kids manning the snack shack. God forbid I actually see a cleaning crew or a few ushers.

Walking through the rows of seats is an adventure in itself; navigating around the sticky puddles of spilled pop from the previous night is like transversing a minefield while wearing clown shoes. So you manage to keep your shoes clean only to finally plop into a seat and feel something seeping into your right buttcheek. Very classy.

So last night I played through the DLC expansion missions for Valkyria Chronicles, Selveria’s Mission “Behind Her Blue Flame” where you play as Selveria, Edy’s Mission “Enter the Edy Detachment” where you play as a hand full of the secondary characters.

I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor, says he’s depressed. He says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatning world. Doctor says treatment is simple. “The great clown Pagliacci is in town, go see him. It should cheer you up”. The Man bursts into tears. “But Doctor,” [...]

I’m upset that MJ died and all but waking up to his face on my HDTV in the middle of the night while half-asleep is pretty much the scariest fucking thing ever.

No, I’m not talking about the big blue guy in the Watchmen movie. Actually, I’m referring to the website’s latest Google analytics. Apparently during the last few days this site has made quite a splash in the Southern United States, as well as in SOUTH AMERICA (Brazil, Chile, etc). The page stats are well above [...]
