So, we have a 'roommate' of sorts living here for the past three weeks. He's my godmother's roommate/boyfriend/whatever-the-relationship-is-complicated. Anyway, long story short we're housing him until he can make his way down to her in North Carolina, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later ( Read more... )

So earlier I answer the phone and the man on the other end's asking for Sally*. I tell him he's got the wrong number. There's no Sally here.

This guy, rather than apologizing and hanging up like most people do when they dial a wrong number, sighs dramatically and slowly and condescendingly asks for "the owner of the property on X street". As if I' ( Read more... )

So earlier today a friend-of-a-friend posted up some obnoxious petition against the U.N. wanting to criminalize pro-lifers. I whole lot of bullshit about how pro-lifers are doing God's work and they aren't trying to punish women blah blah blah fetuses are people blah blah blah persecution against Christians. I needn't tell you how angry I was, and ( Read more... )

The apartment smells awesome right now, considering I just roasted a bag of of cocoa nibs. I like adding them to tea, or brewing them as tea for that matter. Or hell, just snacking on them. Cocoa nibs are boss.

Also I seem to be going dieselpunk lately. I've been listening to a ton of electro-swing for the past few days.

So, we found a shop that repairs game consoles. $80 to fix it, and it should be ready in 3-5 business days. That's far better than shipping it off to Sony, which would cost $150, take a month's time, and we wouldn't even get our console back, but another one without our save data ( Read more... )

Welp, my PS3 died. YLOD this morning, after I'd been playing Strider for about five minutes. First time I've gotten to play it in days too; Anthony's a terrible hog when it comes to the gaming systems.

The casualties? ALL our save files. Also possibly Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, which is stuck inside the machine. Maybe if I reboot the system I ( Read more... )

Hey giantdeathrobot!

AHAHAHAHA. Eat it. Eat iiiiit.

I hate rooibos tea almost as much as I hate hibiscus. In fact, a hibiscus-flavored rooibos blend would be the most foul-tasting thing on the planet. I would sooner disembowel myself with a butter knife than drink such a concoction. Or straight rooibos, for that matter. It's just gross ( Read more... )

I don't care what anyone says, black jellybeans are the best jellybeans. My whole family will back me on this; we buy extra bags of black jellybeans along with the standard spiced assortment just so everyone can have their share.

Otherwise, you know, there'll be a war. The bastard that ate all the black jellybeans is going to wish they hadn't.

...or else it'll hurt. Trust me.

I was of a mind to make ginger-garlic chicken tonight. While I was grating the ginger, my hand slipped and I raked my thumb with the microplane. Ended up with five cuts that bled like a bastard. D:
