theslug Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I'm eating a kind of traditional mexican dish of pork simmered with roasted tomatillos and red onion with cilantro on top. A little sour so naturally cut it with sugar but I'm a man with a penchant for destruction so I heaped on more sugar and then cut the sweetness with tobasco. And then its all sopped up with a flour tortilla. It's pretty freakin heavenly. I think each week I will bastardize a cuisine and maybe post the results, though I doubt it becuase its pretty mundane and stupid and I'm sure most people have a pavlovian response to my posts where they go into a cat-atonic state and then wake up some minutes later watching free streaming adult video having no idea how they arrived there. It happens to me all the time. Now I have to study for my management info systems exam but I don't wanna. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
vault_overseer Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 went to a halloween wedding, didn't know anyone, got second place in costume contest and rocked everyone out in air guitar free-for-all(didn't compete though) Veni, vidi, vici (my neck is really sore from all the rocking though)
Calax Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Watching the world series... I don't have a specific affiliation, but I'm kinda wanting to go for the phillies for some reason. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Hurlshort Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Nobody roots for the Yankees unless they live there. It would be like rooting for the Empire in Star Wars.
Enoch Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Nobody roots for the Yankees unless they live there. It would be like rooting for the Empire in Star Wars. You underestimate the popularity of front-runners. The Yanks are almost certainly one of the most popular teams in the league, nationwide. Lots of fans like the idea of rooting for a team that, based on historical averages, wins it all once every 4 seasons. Of course, front-running fans are mostly jackasses. (Standard sports jackass test: You qualify if you root for any two of the following: NY Yankees, LA Lakers, Dallas Cowboys, Duke NCAA Basketball.) Edit: On-topic addendum: My foot hurts. Last weekend, I empted the dead leaves out of the gutters of the house. This involved a lot of balancing on the top steps of a 6-foot folding ladder, leaning as far as I could to cover lots of ground without having to move the ladder. Later that afternoon, I went grocery shopping. As I was jogging across the parking lot, pushing my cart full of purchases out to the car, I felt a bit of a tweak in the instep of my right foot. I walked it off and felt fine, but pain came back as I was lying in bed that night. Some ibuprofen fixed that and helped me sleep, but in the week since then, it has gotten progressively worse instead of better. It's intermittent (only consistently noticeable when lying in bed), not associated with any particular type of movement (when present, I can't consistently make it hurt more or less by moving in any particular way, although standing still is generally worse than sitting or walking), and the locus of the pain seems to have moved a bit, edging closer to my heel and towards the outside of the foot. Based on these observations, I suspect it's a nerve issue (inexpert diagnosis: Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome) rather than a muscle/bone/joint issue. But I tend to irrationally avoid medical professionals, and every time the pain gets bad enough for me to want to call my HMO, I delay, it gets better, and I don't make the call.

Aristes Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Dallas Cowboys? What the hell have you been smoking, man? With that said, I grew up hating the Cowboys, so I apparently don't qualify as a fan. Still, it's been a long time since the sun has shined on the Cowboy's ass. I don't think there are a lot of bandwagoners left. Even when they were racking up their titles, mostly in the 90s, if I recall it right, half of their bandwagon fans probably paid more attention to the cheerleaders than the rest of the franchise. For me: Miami Dolphins. Angels (and I was with them during the long slog through the desert). Might Ducks (although I don't watch hockey, really). UNLV for college sports. For those of us who didn't grow up in any one area and traveled a lot, the Yankees were an easily recognizable team. My sister has been a Yankees fan for more years than a lot of you chumps have been alive. Now, I personally, don't like the Yankees much, but I'm rooting for them because I like the American league. I've heard many complaints about folks who root for one league of the other. *shrug* Go to hell if you feel that way. If the Angels don't make it, I'm rooting for the American league. Same with AFC. Of course, I did root for the the Giants in 2008. I think it's stupid to assume something about folks because of the team they follow. A lot of folks 'follow' teams but don't even watch the sport the vast majority of the time. Hell, I hate watching baseball on the tv. Boring as hell. Even so, when I do I've been for the Angels since the 80s. I liked the way the dolphins uniforms looked in the 70s. Since Guam didn't have its own football team, I guess that's a forgivable offense. I'm sure lots of folks like teams for similarly crazy or silly reasons.

Walsingham Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 It just upset me as a child that the Empire had clearly worked a lot harder than the buffoons in the rebel Alliance, and yet the Alliance was intent on spoiling it all. I mean the Death Star was fricking awesome, and the rebels were just jealous and smashing it all up. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

LadyCrimson Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) So with much tweaking/research blah blah hubby has the Mac OS working (kind of) on one of his PC's (he was technically curious....). He left it open for me to fiddle with if I want. I clicked on the "Safari" button and the "thinking" swirly mouseicon has been stuck for ages. Is there a cntrl+alt+del type option for Mac? It's Leopard (not Snow Leopard, just Leopard). I have no idea which machine he has it on so I can't just press the reset button Edited November 3, 2009 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Musopticon? Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Spent the day reading Shaky's Winter's Tale and cringing about Finnish attitudes towards paedophiles.

Aristes Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 By this time in your life, Lady, I doubt that you're going to find much to encourage you to switch. The big changes to the Windows interface are already in place. I'm not slamming Apple. I've used them and they can be fun, but after you get used to an interface, it's just tough to switch unless the alternative has something really big to offer. Otherwise, it's just something different that you have to adapt to using.

LadyCrimson Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) @Aristes --yea, I have that feeling too. I guess I keep thinking if I didn't play games, I might like Mac's more at this point, but my desire to take the time to learn a whole new OS/terminology isn't very high. ...getting ready to watch some of the World Series game. Hoping Phillies can manage another win and take it all the way to the 7th game. :D Edit: wait, wait...there's no game tonight. I should know that. I'm an airhead, kthx. In that case...computer game time. Edited November 4, 2009 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.
