I Wasn't Called the Cap'n for Nothing, Y'know
I'M KILLING PIRATES.
Don't get me wrong, I love the whole epic adventure thing going on, what with being an elf warrior, fighting against The Horde, and that's fun and all, but... PIRATES!
If you haven't guessed, I wandered into the Pirate zone of World of Warcraft, which is awesome. The music has this old sea chanty feel to it (soundtrack, ( Read more... ) -
Feminism and Gaming
There was a viral vid released a while ago of a parody of Katy Perry's "California Girls" by Team Unicorn called "G33k and G4m3r Girls". You can download the song here or watch the video here. I loved it when I first saw it, and I still do. It's witty, geeky, and utterly up my alley. So what's this long post about, you ask? While searching for it, ( Read more... ) -
This Glitch is My Methadone
Well, Sean has a few more days off. He took a week off of work to relax, then his second day back, he got into a fight with a guy on PCP. They tased him and the guy didn't even twitch, so they finally had to choke him out. Apparently at one point he landed on top of Sean's legs, so Sean was trying to get out and ended up wrenching his knee. The ( Read more... ) -

Okay, let's assume that they're the type to go to clubs and do that sort of thing.

Fast Five is Furiously Funny and Fabulous
Well, I went to see Fast Five with be_merry and her little sister and it was--how do I put this?
Any movie where I have to legitimately turn to the person next to me and ask in all seriousness, "Did that man just spit glass?" is a winner ( Read more... ) -
Breakout Kings, Government, and Why It's So Annoying to See This on TV
Okay, so a little note, too, because it's been bothering me. Re: Breakout Kings.
Normally this show has a pretty good balance, but occasionally they mess up. For one, Leverage, Criminal Minds, and now this have been picking on the Tea Party. Okay, fine. I think a lot of those people are racist, xenophobic nutjobs ( Read more... ) -
Television Reviews
I've been watching a lot of TV recently and might as well make it (semi)productive. So, onward!
The ListenerThis is a pretty obscure show as far as I can tell; I stumbled upon it accidentally, but so far it's fairly impressive. The premise is that a young paramedic, Toby Logan, has always been able to hear people's thoughts. He starts putting this ( Read more... ) -
Request
Guys, this gal is B-O-R-E-D.
So to pass the time, give me a "first line", anything you want, and I will write you a short story in accompaniment.

Our Conversations Are Not Like Your Conversations
SEAN: You should probably send Mike an email and ask him what the kids eat. Do they sell kid food at the pet store? It's pellets, right? They eat pellets? -
I'm Thinking Her Nickname Will be "Red"
I really like the new Livejournal header. Just sayin'.
Also, I'm an aunt again! Chris and Tashi had their little girl (if she had waited one day, it could have been an April Fool's baby, dammit!) but she's 8 lb., Scarlett Azalea Jordan.
