I don't like to chew anything a gorilla sat on. -- Guybrush Threepwood
It's really hard to talk like a pirate where I work, so I'll leave you with a live band playing Monkey Island music!
And also, this:
Why Pirates of the Caribbean ripped off Monkey Island, hehe. It's a very basic little slide show, but still makes you think. I know all pirate movies are, in essence, ripoffs of the first pirate stories, but ( Read more... ) -
Soft Focus (or) Chan Marshall is insane
This is the most amusing thing I've seen in ages. Ian Mackaye being interviewed by Ian Svenonius about his role in 80s hardcore and punk. Usually, I'm watching people act like they understand Svenonius and pretend his rampant pseudo-intellectual visionary babbling makes sense. Instead, Mackaye is laughing at him and shooting him incredulous ( Read more... ) -
While we're on the subject of mail...
I took part in a cd trade that this_alice started, and I thought I'd bring this up while I'm working on it. The cd is already pretty made: does anyone want a mix from me? There's a catch. You have to make one and send it back ( Read more... ) -
San Francisco driving never shocks me.
I woke up this morning to news on the radio that police conducted a bit of a traffic trap survey not long ago, right around near where I work.

Online relationships?

After all the results come in, I'll probably post about what the numbers were, but I don't want people thinking their answers are available for everyone else to see ( Read more... ) -
Happy Re Day!
Happy birthday to nuchtchas, who never forgets a birthday! I don't know how she does it (other than the LJ birthday notifier, which is how I do it.) Have a great day, lady! -
Twilight Zone
For the first time in years, I did not wake up to my alarm clock set for 8 am. Instead, I woke up just now... at 11:45. I was supposed to be at work by now, so I called in, panicked and totally embarrassed. Luckily, I did not speak to the manager, but caught another coworker first. As it turns out, I don't work until 4:30 pm -- the hell ( Read more... ) -
Huge cats
Dude. My kittens have gotten huge since I posted pictures of them last. Use this shot as a reference:

Earthquake
Well... it gave me a good scare and my monitor swung back and forth like it wanted to fall over, but I survived my first 4.2 earthquake. In fact my roommates and my cats slept through it. All I got was a dog barking outside and a racing pulse ( Read more... )
