Pop Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 We just went to see some films instead of the usual, which involves me reading to her in the coffee shop. Yesterday we started a really cool book, by a psychologist that I admire (a rare thing indeed), Philip Zimbardo, called The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. (Zimbardo designed and organised the now infamous Stanford Prison Experiment in 1970, which he had to terminate early due to the "success" of the social factors under observation. He also wrote my tertiary psych text book, which is why I was attracted to the book. He most recently had to be the expert witness in the Abu Graib investigation, which is part of this book.) Zimbardo's great, he hosted the PBS series on Psychology that we used in our class, and he just recently conducted a nice, long interview with the Skeptic podcast (I think that's what it's called) promoting the book and extrapolating on its contents. Check it out. Got back home today, and am tired. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Deraldin Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Once again I'm struck down with wrist problems. My left wrist acts up every couple months. If it had been my right wrist (my mousing hand) I could understand why it happens, but when it happens to the wrist that isn't doing anything. I was planning on going for a nice long bike ride today, but with my wrist all screwed up today, I'll have to put that off till tomorrow or maybe Thursday.
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 I'm on holiday. Yay! (For five days.) Lots of time to work on my NWN2 module. Plus I'm not sick this time.

mkreku Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Last night I drove my girlfriend to the airport. She went to England (Sheffield University) to do a research project for ten weeks. I'm already lonely I once sang at a Finnish karaoke bar. Unfortunately I don't speak Finnish so I sang with my best Finnish impersonation instead. Apparently I was so bad that the Finnish audience thought I was ridiculing them and upped and left! I didn't notice it at the time as I was a bit intoxicated, but my friends told me later. I only sang one song.. I think it was called "Miljoona, miljoona rosoa" or something. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

I'm already lonely Does it have something to do with her luscious locks? Are scientist running their hands through her hair right now? Are they balancing and conditioning? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Tale Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 I can think of nothing more embarassing for a female coworker than for me to catch them watching porn on their computer while on the job. And little more hilarious at the workplace that doesn't involve someone getting hurt. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

mkreku Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I just got home from three hours of uninterrupted beachvolley. All day it's been raining in Sweden and while I was at work I had no intentions of doing anything but play Gothic 3 when I got home. But suddenly the clouds broke up and disappeared and the sun started shining. By the time I had gotten home from work, it was warm and blue skies. We (me and three of my friends) went to a camping place near where I live where they have six beachvolley fields. First we played, the four of us, in three different teams. Then two of our gang had to leave and we were all going to leave when suddenly a really tall, really beautiful girl came up to me and asked if we wanted to play with her and her friend (who was also very pretty, but shorter). I was like, "YEAH!!! Er.. I mean, sure, if you want us to.". We played. We lost. 12-21, 11-21. It was hugely embarrassing. They smashed us to pieces, they placed the ball on the line and they even served so well we couldn't return it. After two games (I have no idea why we agreed to a second game) we talked to them and found out that they had been playing in the Swedish League in beachvolley but hadn't made the finals.. I'm scared to think of how good the winning couple must be. Why are all beachvolley girls so pretty? Is it the tiny shorts they wear? Is it their tight, tanned bodies? Is it the fact that they can smash the ball in your head and scream "IN YOUR FACE!!" while you're writhing in agony on the ground? I have no idea.

Enoch Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 And you can call me colour deprived. You can call me a honkey. Hell, now that I'm a reasonably well-paid white-collar government worker, I'm essentially "the man." Speaking of which, I am currently working on my self-assessment for my 1-year performance review at my job. I hate this kind of stuff. Yeah, it is better that it is required (the alternative would have the squeaky wheel getting all the grease-- i.e., the people who are so ambitious/egotistical to ask for a raise every few months), but I just can't help but feeling as if I'm bragging while filling the thing out, and sounding boastful really grates on me.

Gfted1 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I just got back from vacation to the Wisconsin Dells. Yeah, yeah, its a tourist trap but for some reason I love going there and all the water parks. However, unlike Sweden, the water parks are not filled with hotties, but fatties. I can count on one hand the really outstanding women I saw over four days of being there. The rest make you want to gouge your face off. I mean seriously, dont they have mirrors? Anywho, a good time was had by all. Now Im back at work trying to work down the pile of stuff on my desk. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Dark_Raven Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 It's a nice day here, dark and rainy. At least it killed this damn heat wave. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
