I am still thinking of what to get my girlfriend for our third year being-a-couple anniversary. It is hard!

I don't know. I suspect in today's society it will mostly rely on what information the media and the internet will turn popular. If the news only reports things like, say, a mutant killed twenty people, even if there was no proof at all, I think the negative thoughts in people's minds will reach critical mass pretty fast.

This. How's your unelected, rich-as-**** monarch doing? Oh man. Holland has the same thing, and I just want to get rid of them.

Still, you're doing pretty good. Good luck, Wals! I walked into a door handle two days ago and I haven't done excercising since because my hip hurts like ****all now. Such a lame reason for limping, walking into a door handle.

So apparently New Moon broke a lot of Dark Knight's records. This annoys me, because it's like 90% female driven. This means studios will be looking at more franchises to market entirely to women, and less for my beautiful explody blockbusters.

I never expected to see the words "weeping" and "orifice" so close together. Not today, anyway. EDIT: Weeping Orifice is a killer rock band name though.

Easy for you to say. You're funny!

I misread that as "half an infant strapped to my temples" and when I realized that's not what it said I was disappointed.

I read a lot of his posts, but all I usually remember is "HA! Good fun!".

I just drew a coffee cup for work. Yay for intellectual stimulation.

The more basic concept is, more or less but not quite, what if all the immigrants that went to America took their Gods with them, and they're in the New World struggling to survive just as much as anyone else?

I also nominate Gorgon, whose Paul-Reiser-Playing-The-Devil-In-Aliens avatar is just something that connects with Obsidian in my brain now.

In what way? I mean I could say it's about the power of belief and also about it's weaknesses, but that would just be a one line desciption that could in itself mean anything. It's about the meaning of being alive, and how that meaning is what you give it. But what does *that* mean? I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. It's certainly about a lot of things, and it certainly gives you a lot to think about. (Although I must confess somewhere in the middle I thought it was a warning against trusting technology, a supposition* that fell apart somewhere right before the climax when I realized it had only been made to look like that. I was quite amused that Mr. Gaiman seemed to have played me as much as Mr. Wednesday played Shadow.) I meant more in a visual way. I'm keen on visualising things (I am an animator after all) and I felt a little disappointed that he didn't go all out with the weirdness. Like the mechanical spider "backstage" that you never really hear from again. *English is my second language and I'm not sure if I'm using this word correctly.

I just finished American Gods. Finally, damn I'm a slow reader. And damn, that's a good story. Although I did feel that he could have done more with the concept when I got to the end. Next, Neverwhere.

I also nominate Kaftan Barlast and mkreku. And those guys who look exactly the same and always post at almost exactly the same time.

Maybe you needed to sit down? Turns out she has swine flu and was pretty delirious. Sucks for her, but I sure laughed at the message.

Just got a text message from an old high school friend of mine: "I had a dream about you tonight. You were in a wheelchair and I was SOOOO sorry!"

I'll be sure to look it up, although Wals' comment about back problems makes me a bit apprehensive. Thanks for the tips!

And that is exactly (almost word for word) what I told her.

Hey congratulations! Daddy Hurlshot strikes again. I know how leaving and getting home in the dark feels, and it's not pleasant. If you've done it for a few weeks, you start to somehow lose track of time. On topic; I've finally gained some weight (whoa nearly 25 pounds, decided to weigh myself after finding out a whole bunch of my pants don't fit anymore) and I realized I am finally not underweight for my height anymore, so I've started doing some excercise so I can get in shape a bit. Not going to the gym or anything, just things like pushups, crunches, have a few weights that I lift. Glad to know my metabolism is slowing down a bit. Any tips for a home-excerciser who has very little experience with excercising other than biking?

He's a sad piece of work anyway. His response to 'we need to talk about our relationship' was 'if you break up with me I will jump off the balcony' (he lives on the 14th floor). Before that, she wasn't even sure she wanted to break up, but that definately sealed the deal. You don't try to guilt someone into staying in a relationship, it's just a douchebag move.

Trying to cheer up a good friend of mine who broke up and whose now ex boyfriend proceeded to threaten her. Piece of crap. If he touches her I will mess him up. It doesn't help that I never liked him anyway, and I am fiercely protective of my friends. All my barroom brawls have been because people were messing with my friends. Never because someone was messing with me, because I just don't care.

Oh come on.

Eels pretty new song that just debuted on Spinner. It's called Little Bird.

Oh. Alright then. Sorry, I did misunderstand. It still doesn't really fit a company called Obsidian, though. But I do think this is a pretty horrid colour scheme in the first place.
