A transcript of a conversation overheard in a liquor store:

"What's that?"
"What's what?"
"Do they accept benefits here now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look at that thing." (He points at what I can clearly see is a credit card reader)
"What thing?"
"That thing there." (Points again)
"Oh. Yeah, I guess they must."
"Wow."
"Yeah, (sounding more confident) 'cause ( Read more... )

I just recently saw The Bourne Ultimatum. I was on a date. My date cared about the series, I did not. So I hadn't see the second one and didn't really care to see this one, but apparently I was in the minority since there was an hour long line. It was like waiting for Harry Potter outside that theater.

Since I hadn't seen the second one, I was ( Read more... )

And, yes, I include The Final Sacrifice in that calculation.

The pomma point, is, apparently, some new punctuation mark that the Torque Institute (out of Canada) would like to see instituted. It's meant to express mild excitement. Sort of like, "Hey, love those boots." We're not really excited and the exclamation mark makes it seem like we're ( Read more... )

I've been reading about the rearing of domestic silkworms. I don't want to start raising them, mind you; I find that idea repulsive (and, in all honesty, after reading about the worms I don't really ever want to wear anything that's come out of their ass, either). But I enjoy reading about things.

Girl who sits next to me, about whom I've posted before, is currently (as I type this), freaking the fuck out because her very expensive iPhone isn't picking up when someone calls (snigger). Like she's almost in tears and she's flinging things around and saying things like "this is unacceptable." Now, I'd thought that she was upset because this ( Read more... )

From Women's Wear Daily (don't laugh; it's part of the job): "Lingerie has broken out of the boudoir, adding color to the streets of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico [emphasis theirs; I don't know why], and helping to define television's leading ladies. Even in the sociopolitical arena of environmentalism, all eyes are on innerwear."

Every time I'm feeling down, I load up a World Clock and thank my lucky stars that I'm not one of the 3,548 people who have died this year from leprosy.

I've talked a lot about where I work and the way that a lot of the people at my job are... let's just say, very occupied with fashion. At the exclusion of... let's just say, everything in life that matters.

And today I had an argument (and I very rarely have arguments at work) with some chick because when I said "So did you hear about Mitt Romney's ( Read more... )

Book of Deviants is this new flash game which promotes the Toyota Scion in sort of a... weird way.

Basically, you play the part of a Deviant, a horrifying little monster creature (who sometimes has hooks for hands) who hunts down and tortures the innocent Sheeple (regular people, dressed in sheep hoods) to death. That's cool, I'm all for that sort ( Read more... )
