Off Topic FanPost of Tomorrow, Today! 10/02/02008

Grouchomarx6_tiny by acblue on

I don't expect this OTFPOTD to be as busy as others, what with the Rays playing today and all, but there's still time to kill. Most of said time will be dead to rites well before I wake up tomorrow, but the OTFPOTD serves not only the poster but the greater good.

 

Star-divide

I am genuinely interested in the following:

  • Do Italian-style chicken sausages benefit from being cooked in beer? If so, if the quality/style of beer, or should I just go for a tallboy of Vitamin R?
  • It's that time of year; chili season! Chili is pretty much my favorite thing ever in the history of the world, and I'm in no way dogmatic; it's all good. We all have our secrets; care to share?
  • The Divisional Series Gamethread brought some interesting cultural differences to light. In that spirit, are there any bands/movies/TV shows/books/games/whatever that you've never been able to quite grasp the appeal of? Lively discussion may follow, but we're all friends here; this is a safe place.
  • DEAR GOD DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY JOB LEADS! I AM SO GODDAMNED TIRED OF MY JOB IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY PLEASE HELP! I'M GOOD AT STUFF I PROMISE AND I LEARN FAST! JUST GET ME THE HOLY FUCK OUT OF HERE AAAAAHHHHH!
  • Failing that, anyone know of any side jobs that are less than mind-numbingly boring? I can only give a few hours a week (or a couple days for a one-off type of deal) but I'm quite capable and trustworthy.
  • Script.
  • How awesome is Meg White?
  • Pretty fucking awesome.

I dunno...

everytime I give my sausage too much beer it never ends up well….

by brayden04 on Oct 2, 2008 3:12 AM PDT   1 recs

But really

I do like to marinade brats in beer. Italian-style chicken….I don’t know, never done it before.

by brayden04 on Oct 2, 2008 3:13 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I got to stop replying to myself...but...

I used Corona for the brats. Of course, this was before I lived in Europe and experienced the ecstasy of good beer.

I should answer my own questions.

-My first thought is that a nice malty Pilsner would be ideal.
-It’s all about the masa. Failing that, just grind some (good quality) corn chips into oblivion. If you’re going the vegan chili route, TVP is a welcome addition.
-Aside from the obvious, I’d have to say the Matrix/House (because I’m a hypochondriac)/James Joyce/Final Fantasy.
-For serious.
-Also for serious.
-Band you’ve never heard of is great.
-Pretty goddamned amazing.
-Maybe not as awesome as Karen O or Beth Ditto, though.

House never did it for me either.

But then again I use my tv almost exclusively for sports and video games.

by brayden04 on Oct 2, 2008 3:47 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

House freaks the shit out of me and makes me have to close my eyes.

Seriously, a hypochondriac in public health is bad enough, but putting medical dramas on top of that is not a good plan.
Plus needles. Needles used on my skin are fine; needles pushing under my skin and either taking something away or putting something into me are not ok.

I can't remember what you do for a job, besides your band the rest escapes me. Computers?

Childrens Hospital is hiring for their data integration department. They are hiring programmer’s to build data warehouses (sounds like they are kind of on the cutting edge of this in the medical industry), not sure what all the technicalities involved, might be worth checking out. They are making a big move into Microsoft products at the moment. Lots of changes happening, might be nice to get in on the ground floor of something like that, help design the process rather than be told to just do it this way because that’s the way it’s always been done.

Hmm. Computers was a shot in the dark, kind of a safe guess around here.

Sorry dude, just trying to be helpful.

Honestly I was just in a really awful mood when I posted that.

I shouldn’t leave my job until I finish school, unless something too good to pass up comes along. Ideally I’d like to work for a government agency or non-profit in some capacity.

That still cracks me up every time he posts that.

But I sympathize completely. I have no known allergies to anything I’ve ever encountered. Except! There is some brand of shitty perfume I run across about once a year. My eyes instantly start to swell shut and my throat closes up like asthma or something. Very strange, kind of scary, and I have to idea what brand it is.

I've been tear gassed twice.

CS gas in the army (they do it on purpose in basic), and once on Capitol Hill during the WTO riots, but I believe that was tear gas, not CS. CS was worse.

I was eating sushi, suddenly people ran by the joint followed by cops.

We walked outside to see what was happening, BAM! tear gassed. But yeah, I’m pretty liberal these days. Shower and shave though, so my hippie is kind of an internal thing.

Shit - I've got to go rent Iron Man tonight. I still haven't seen it.

Any other recommendations?

I'm getting away with seeing Iron Man without having to listen to her complain

due to her love and admiration for Downey Jr.

He's got that new one out with Jamie Foxx.

Looks good from the previews.

That movie terrifies me

It could be good, but more likely it’s an Oscar-baiting trainwreck of overacting.

Good call.

But My Left Foot! Philadelphia! Uh, forget the rest.

I’m itching to see T. Thunder, but I’m realizing I’m a married fuddy duddy now, and have to wait for video.

All of these things are in the full-retard scene.

I really like Robert Downey Jr, but I can’t stand Jamie Foxx, so I’m predisposed to hate that movie (the violinist, I think?), but it just seems like a Jamie Foxx Oscar-grab to me and it really could be a complete disaster.

Wow, I'm a huge fan of Jamie Foxx.

More so with passing time. That stupid jet fighter movie aside. I really started to pick up on him with the work he turned in on ‘Ali’.

unless you like overacting and unhidden hyperinflated egos.

I don't doubt it.

Jarhead is the only thing I’ve seen him in since In Living Color.

by Phildopip on Oct 2, 2008 4:14 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I absolutely hated jarhead.

But I hate most modern films about the military. Thin Red Line was poetry to Saving Private Ryan’s re-enactment fetish fulfillment. Michael Mann seems to get the best out of Foxx.

And why did I include T.R.L. in that?

Malick and Mann in the same paragraph? I’m a weirdo.

Calling Mononke Hime "Japanese Animation" is like calling the Godfather a movie about mobsters.

It may be technically true, but it does a disservice to the piece of art.

Tell her that Hayao Miyazaki is the Walt Disney of Japan.

Hell, he’s probably the most respected individual in animated film right now.

by BrianL on Oct 2, 2008 4:02 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Mononoke Hime was the first film I ever saw that the cleaning crew had to ask me to leave the theatre.

I was just in shocked awe at how unbelievable spectacular it was that I couldn’t leave my seat. Even after the credits had finished rolling.

Photographing a polar bear up close, cool.

Anyone remember Apple Theater?

That’s what came to my mind.

by Sec 108 on Oct 2, 2008 4:47 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

A buddy of mine and I

thought about buying that place when it went under, and (after sending HAZMAT in to clean) turning it into a legit 21+ theater complete with bar and a stage in front of the screen where bands would play before and after the films. I think it would’ve done well.
