  1. Dang, that means I don't get to see it in June.
  2. I knew Ed-D'Oh had a familiar feeling ...
  3. Lip Dub - Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri
  4. 1421: The Year China Discovered the World (Gavin Menzies) The main criticisms, as far as I have read, are from (seemingly) disgruntled academics who are more envious of a "non-historian" making such a seismic revelation about world history, and are restricted to sniping details ... from the (comprehensive) list of evidence in the appendices it is evident to me that there is something to these claims.
  5. I skipped yoga yesterday, but went to the boot camp as usual (still with Polish Dentists
  6. I'm actually more into black hair.
  7. Are you asking if the writers made a decision that you find insufficiently fabulous to excite you as you demand from cinema, or because you think that just because some particular event is vanishingly possible that it is necessarily probable, or because you have no idea what effect pressure has on an individual in a given circumstance?
  8. I'd go and get a doctor / physiotherapist / geisha to look at your neck, too. It might pass by without any treatment, but it also might only require a little cold / heat / pressure treatment, too. Did she do that because of the treatment for her illness? Ive seen people do that before for that reason. Not the eyebrows mind you but eh, she was showing you a thing or two. She had wanted to shave her head for a while, and finally decided to do it. Its really putting a lot of strain on a relationship that was already strained. Every time we talk she brings up her hair, which eventually leads to me mentioning how much I hate it, which pisses her off and I get in trouble. L2carelessabouthair I've been over it for weeks, but she keeps bringing it up. I had to create a list of "banned subjects" with a particularly truculent partner. Basically this is a list of topics that are agreed by both parties to be unimprovable with further conversation, and serve only as mechanisms for escalating a discussion into an argument. Just agree beforehand who was to blame, if that is what is required, then agree that they will not be spoken of again (at all preferably, but at least not during a discussion about other things, and definitely not during an argument). It allows you to say "Wait a minute, we agreed that we wouldn't talk about that anymore. Yes, it was my fault, and No, neither of us can do anything about it now. Let's talk about what we really want to talk about, instead." Good luck.
  9. Yes, because Obsidian need an opportunity to experience a hiding to nothing.
  10. Asian lesbians FTW!
  11. *note to self: never go paintballing with Dark Raven*
  12. ... Because that is how an epic-scale RTS strategy game should be judged ...
  13. I agree; the plot was something from Saturday afternoon on the Turner channel. That's the best take on the teen scare movie for EVA. "Violence of the Lambs"
  14. I caught most of Zoolander. I did get that it was meant to be a farce. I didn't like it. Just saw Spider-Man 3. Someone made the comment that the dialogue was momentum crippling for the film; I'd go further and say that the actual dialogue was so bad it was almost as poor as Toby Maquire's acting. Almost. I did think that the complaint of too many villains wasn't valid, though. The Sandman was hardly worth the screentime he got: one fight and all the reasons to watch him were over; without Venom the film would have been pretty empty. Too bad about the snorefest character interaction.
  15. Innocent brand Mango and Passionfruit smoothie with powdered hemp (50% protein), which is doped with Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils. I have it first thing every morning.
  16. You must be so pleased with the return on your investment ... "
  17. Problem is most time that's the only clue you get (which is then added to your "to do" list, which in turn means it's important).. in real life you have like 10 leads and then you choose which ever you find the most likely to be fruitful. So you are still being 'led by the nose' very much so. See, what would be ideal is a multitude of ways to solve a battle (stealth, tank, etc) ... which requires a few different paths to be designed, i.e. extra work equating to extra expense. Then you could have an Ultima-type sprinkle of non-essential side-quests (e.g. the flying carpet), some of which could be fiendishly difficult .. and not "difficult" in the Grand Theft Auto run-around-and-collect-hundreds-of-tokens-to-find-a-small-reward sense, more an easter-egg type extra. The problem is that this sort of effort is really poor value in Return On Investment, unless the game is a classic and is played relentlessly, in which case it will create its own demand ... or is that a chicken-and-egg catch-22 ..? I only tried to beat him after many times through ... he's not easy there ...
