taks Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 hehe... beer for lunch today. it is imminent. i've posted links to this place before. trinity brewing in CO Springs. it's like the hippy joint with a bunch of liberals running the show serving a bunch of conservative engineers sneaking a beer for lunch (actually, they aren't "sneaking" beer, since their bosses are probably in tow). strange dichotomy. taks comrade taks... just because.

Shryke Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 i'm hungover - it sucks had drinks with an ex at her place me and two other guys discovered that we're known to people as being really good kissers apparently being told you kiss like a girl is a compliment? i'm not sure what to think of that when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Calax Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Just finished applying to Hollywood and Blockbuster. I think Blockbuster has a better online "interview" than most in that it actually has you answer questions based upon what might actually happen in the store compared to the usual "Do you like being in large crowds?" crap. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 "Do you like being in large crowds?" crap. I would have failed the online test right there and then. Good luck Calax Started shopping around for a blu-ray player for my living room. My search criteria looks sort of like this: It either has to be easily changed to region free, or it has to be dirt cheap so I can afford at least two players (asia pacific and north america which is where I get most of my movies from these days). I have a region free DVD player, so that isn't a problem (and my TV has enough HDMI connectors). “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Walsingham Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Met up with people at a rock pub last night, totally new to me. They turned out to be incredibly nice, and interesting, and funny! Unfortunately for them they happened to live in an apartment with rats going nuts in it. They showed me the videos they'd filmed. It was insane. the rats were all perfectly calm, and about the size of my foot. Six of them. In the living room. *shudder* Fething rodents... "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 You guys cant even have BB guns over there can you? Could have solved that problem for around $50.00 and a garbage bag. It's a good point, frankly. A .22 air gun would at least prove capable of exacting a fighting retreat (they're leaving the house). But the problem is extensive. They had one pop out of the freaking toaster! If it was me I'd have turned the lounge into a fething redoubt. The rats would have to go ****ing Iwo Jima style to get in.

Razor wire, sonics, mechanical traps. I hear that. I'd have every freaking surface of the joint double-coated with the most potent poison available. Either that, or I'd hire a party of level-1 adventurers to kill them all. My weekend was exhausting. Regular readers of this feature will know that I moved to a new house last weekend. This weekend, my parents and my sister & her husband came to stay for a couple nights to help us out with some new house projects. Well, really one new house project-- the joint we bought has a 1-car detatched garage with a 50+ year old roof, some termite damace, and some rotting framing. My father and brother-in-law spent the weekend ripping off the ancient shingles, pulling out the rotten portions, reinforcing, re-framing (replacing a few supports, and the sill and all of the rafters on one side), and re-shingling the roof. (I am less experienced that they in the manly arts of construction, so my role was more limited to being the 'go-fer' and other general support tasks.) Our backyard is now covered with construction debris, but we do have structurally sound, waterproof garage to show for it.

Meshugger Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I bought some "clothes". My girlfriend thought that it would be a good idea for me to buy some new clothes while i was on my businesstrip. "Since you're visiting a bigger town, there's a higher possibility to actually find something", she said. I came home with The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, 2 pairs of underwear and 4 pairs of socks.

I have a region free DVD player, so that isn't a problem (and my TV has enough HDMI connectors). word of advice: PS3. great player plus the added bonus that you also get to spend $50-$70 a whack for all them nifty games you're gonna soon desire. i'm not sure there are any "dirt cheap" blu-ray players, but it seems we had a thread on this somewhere and somebody (mkreku, or samm?) linked to some that are definitely getting cheaper. not sure how much cheaper tough. the bummer with the PS3 is that you can only have 1 disc in at a time, but i'm not sure the multi-disc players exist at all (and i'm sure they'd be ridiculously expensive either way). i'm torn on blu-ray vs. dvd, btw. for home use, blu-ray is clearly the choice. however, we also take movies with us on the road since we have a portable dvd player we bought for my wife's car, and my xterra has one of those built-in dvd players. if i stop buying dvds, then we won't have anything new for the kid when we travel. but if i buy everything in dvd format, then i won't get that HD uberness that i am now addicted to... no way i'm buying both. i'm thinking kid shows on dvd, daddy shows on blu-ray. wonder if pr0n has made the blu-ray step yet? taks Edited November 17, 2008 by taks comrade taks... just because.
