PrintI met a great amount of LL people tonight, and I'll tell you, they were all more attractive than Jeff, Graham, and Mathew combined. We had a great night of bowling and drinking, and drinking, and drin-wait--- was that just me??
To all there, you were gracious and awesome. What a great night. Here's to putting my shirt into a bra-like status in order to get a strike. And fuck you all. Tomorrow is going to suck. The great part about this off-top?? I won't even be around to see it until late tomorrow.
And royalcurve made those goddamned tatertots with bacon. Holy mackerel, they were tasty.

Great night, awesome to meet some of y’all-
If you didn’t come, you shoulda
Good to get a kickstart to tomorrow’s drinking bash (drinking now haha) though some of the newspaper articles about Apple Cup are quite amusing
UR GAY.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.

and I saw your complaint about me not adding you on facebook. Find me, it’s easy. Look for the picture of a 4 year old with a hawk holding an assault rifle

Just bought the Guitar Hero World Tour Bundle.
Not sure if I am beating a dead horse here, but I like it so far. Anyone else have it, or Rock Band 2?
I have GHWT for Wii
It is great fun.

So Corco, maybe put up a comment first thing
Even if it’s just to say hi, then head back to bed. Do some people a favor eh?
Good news

Hey, thanks!
What little I’ve listened to those CDs you gave me sound pretty damn good as well! Nothing like I had imagined. Much heavier and better.

Admin assistant and office temp
I took this previous gig looking to eventually crosstrain for technical writing or copy editing, except it didn’t last long enough.
When I didn't have a job after college I was really tempted to try and collect unemployment
by seattlebruin on Nov 22, 2008 1:23 PM PST up reply actions
I did it before in Vegas
I’ve never tried here in WA, though I’m eligible, mainly because I found it more worth my time to just go and get a job. My agency also likes playing technicality cards to deny me anyway: right after I leave my last gig, they’ll call me and offer a really shitty assignment they know I won’t take (bad pay, far away, shitty work environment and job duties, etc.), so the state will deny me for turning down work.
Yeah know whats a fun conversation?(well 70% fun, 30% sad really)
When you stop by a Safeway to pick up some butter and when you get in the checking line, you notice the cashier is a chick you knew from high school.This chick was immensely popular in school and was (is) extremely hot. The kind of chick that wouldn’t of given you the time of day back in school. It’s your turn in line and the following conversation happens.
Chick: Oh hey! How’s it going [insert name]? Long time no see.
Me: Going pretty good [insert name], how about you?
Chick:Oh you know, working.
Me:Yeah, I hear that. Just getting off work myself.
Chick: Really? What do you do?
Pays for butter
Me:Oh, I’m[insert successful job/career].
Chick(impressed):Oh cool. How much does a job like that pay?
Me:[insert decent wage here]
Chick:Sounds like you’ve done pretty well for yourself since High School.
Me:Eh. Not bad I guess. How about you? How’s life been treating you since school?
Chick(disappointed):Oh…yeah know. Just kinda doing stuff here and other things. It pays the bills.
Me:Yeah….that it does.
Awkward pause………
Me:Well….it was nice seeing you again.
Chick:Yeah, talk to yeah later.
Grabs change and butter, leaves
Turns out popularity and good looks doesn’t usually work as well in the real world. Fancy that.
My 10 year reunion was a year ago
No way in hell was I going anywhere near those people. And yeah, my friends turned out mostly alright, but all the hip kids… heh, well….
I was never unpopular or popular in high school.
Everyone knew me, but I didn’t give a crap about any sort of status. Those I know that did have all moved on to great things like scrap booking while their husband is at work, or putting the meat in those Jack In The Box tacos. Then again, I’m not rich either.
Screw you, Mariners. I'm back in football's loving arms. *edit: well, shit. This isn't going well.
Rich does not
define. At least you are interesting, funny and still don’t care what people think!!! Not do mention goodlooking as that feels redundant at this point. :)
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
You just described me
I had 3 close friends I spent my time with. Everybody knew who I was, but I never went out of my way to hang with them. Now I also see them working at safeway and the like.

I had three close friends too....
two of them are still my best friends to this day. The other one became a crackhead, which explains why I don’t hang with her anymore. I never really cared if I was popular or not and I got along with everyone. I was the smart one, so anyone who needed help with the classwork came to me and so I was pretty much known to everyone.
AKA Thingray's Fiancee (not a Midget)
Best advice I was ever given: revenge is living a good life.
Ok I exaggerate, but that was some pretty good advice.
Kind of the same story, two most popular and hottest chicks, one went the crackhead/prostitute in Alaska route, the other wound up with skin cancer reconstructed face route (had the BEST TAN EVER in HS).
Umm, kevin. Your sexy people seperation anxiety is palpable in these tags.
I do believe Matthew is traveling, which I failed to mention in my post yesterday.
I also am fairly sure Graham taking a bus from downtown to the Highlands may have been a bit much to ask.
That being said it was a pleasure to meet you and your boy. Hell it was a pleasure to meet all of you.
I really want to sleep with Mathew and Graham.
I was afraid to say it until last night, when I realized you guys are gay too.

From all the jokes around this joint, I was expecting a bunch of gay midgets to show up.
Had no idea what the ethnicity was going to be.
I saw a midget today. He was playing the trombone.

So in my travels last night I found part of 2r2l's quest.
There was a latino short person (that’s hispanic midget for you un-pc types) handing out porn cards on the strip. Unfortunately he was surly and wouldn’t allow me to take a picture with him.
But it was awesome, he would hold the cards almost straight up in the air to get them to flicking height.

For the first time in my life I am contemplating not watching the game.
It is somewhat nice outside and heading to the park sounds like a far more entertaining use of my time.
How could you want to not watch two winless teams on the last day of the season?
That’s a dream game that comes along once in a lifetime.
Furcal
I can always watch it later if I want to.
I always prefer doing something on nice days over sitting on the couch watching sports.
Being a couch potato is not necessary to be a Mariner fan.
Besides I’ve said it many times before on this site. I prefer to go to games in person over watching on TV.
If I am not going to a game I would rather be doing something. Keeps me from getting fat.
Holy shit, the Apple Cup is on TV in San Diego!
This is great news, despite the quality of the product on the field.
Why would they show it in San Diego?
Haha! There’s really nothing at stake besides rep and all that…i just hope it’s a good game!
Must not be anything else on? I have no idea.
There have been years when the game actually kinda mattered, and the didn’t show it. Maybe they just want everyone to see something hilarious.
I think it's FSN's national game.
Rivalry and all, though I’m sure they’re kicking themselves over it

On the ipod touch, and I guess iphone, it automatically goes to the mobile.lookoutlanding.com
And you can’t read fanposts or post comments. You can do the full version to, but it is harder to scan through the page. So if you are in the mood to read one of Jeff’s or Matthew’s well articulated analysis on the fly, then the mobile page works perfectly.

I love Christmas, but I certainly understand that others do not.
I just think it’s hilarious that people bitch (and oh boy do they bitch) about five shelves of ~200 movies and a sign that says “holiday films” in a store with 30k other movies.

Shouldn't you have fall/thanksgiving movies between Halloween and Thanksgiving though?

About 30% of the holiday section is Thanksgiving movies.
To put the holiday section up I have to dismantle another section and shuffle that stuff somewhere else into the catalog, which means I have to keep track of what was where before the holiday section goes up. It’s a hugenormous pain in the ass.

Thanksgiving can suck it this year as far as I'm concerned.
It’s too bad, too, because I like Thanksgiving normally
I'll say this
I couldn’t care less if people throw up wreaths and lights and fake pine trees in November. If anything, it’s pretty decor and smells nice. I hate holiday sales as much as anyone, but it’s not a huge deal to me. The materialism and hard sell is a given, but I can look past it. I guess not using my TV helps.
Watching this Apple Cup is depressing
but… UW might be good in a few years. Their last two recruiting classes have both been pretty good
I hope they can get good before I graduate.
Which, might be either next year or the year after, depending if I do the accounting program or not.
We've scored the same number of points as UW coming into this game.
In one more game and a lot of them came against a I-AA team, I know.
"The Cougs still have a life here!"
Had UW made that field goal, it would still be a six-point game with 12 minutes left, you dumbass.
I knew they were awful, but I didn't know what they were particularly awful AT.
I believe this is the first game I’ve seen this season.

Neuheisel at least had a .500 club and got run on a technicality
Willingham’s teams just suck. Really, really bad.
God I can't believe how badly I suck at COD5
and how pissed I am that they took away mercenary team deathmatch
Though right now I think it’s a matter of all the idiots using the SMGs that blow and me trying to use rifles which will serve me just fine since I almost always get first hit
BWAWAWAWWAHAHAHA!!
Suck it Huskies! (sorry if you are one)
In a world full of “bad apples” at least the Cougs can say they are better than something.
Hopefully they don't screw everything up by beating Hawaii.

I have two complaints, though:

I'm more amazed at how quick and easy it all is. It's pretty impressive technologically.
And the picture quality on other stuff looked perfectly fine. I just picked a vibrant movie to test it out, and it didn’t look great. And I’m operating under the assumption that the selection will improve.
The trial is, yes.
After the trial is up you’ll also need a Netflix account.
I should have that going by the end of the month.

Willamette over Occidental 48-33 in the first round of the Division III playoffs. Next up is University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, last year’s national champions, in Salem.
Willamette (ranked #6 nationally) is 11-0 with the win over previously undefeated Occidental (ranked #11 in the country). Whitewater (#4) is 10-1 after defeating St. John’s University (Minnesota).

Communicating via flag is supposed to be for the eyes of the mods only. Your being able to read said flags is a recent development that you were pretty sly about. I’m sure Robert flags the hell out of everyone, myself included. You aren’t a mod here, so you shouldn’t be reading the flags, even if you have that ability.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I like you. No one is outwardly aggressive towards you. You read the flags, you deal with the consequences.

Listen to this man.

It's hard to convince people to let you eat them if you're an asshole. - Thingray
You're absolutely right and I have apologies to issue.
Normally I wouldn’t even care and would probably find what they said amusing, but circumstances led to me flying off the handle for no good reason.
A few days ago the medical condition I had relapsed for the first time since I was in high school. It just so happened that coincided with a slightly disparaging (but otherwise amusing) comment one of those three made at my expense. Sadly that was the magic trigger that caused me to explode.
I’ve been in a depressed funk for the better part of five days now. I’ve never responded well to normal treatment and it took ages for my doctors to find some course of action that worked well for me. In the process I went on some medication regimens that backfired heavily, causing permanent damage to my liver (which was what the joke that triggered all of this was about). Right now the treatment I’ve been on for the better part of five years seems to have stopped working, and if my doctors can’t figure something out I am facing the very distinct possibility of invasive surgery in the near future.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m extremely sorry for snapping at the three of you. My depression right now is no excuse for that outbreak. Right now I’m just confused, depressed, and frightened all at the same time, and I haven’t felt this bad in years. I lashed out and the three of you were the unfortunate targets. It’s not at excuse, simply an explanation. I know better than that.
If I’ve said anything stupid to anyone else over the last few days I really am sorry. I haven’t been myself at all. However, if you still see it fit to take some sort of pity on me, I’d appreciate your thoughts and prayers right now.

Sadly, the most important things in life tend to be out of our control.
Learning to find solace in powerlessness is so very difficult to do. I’ll bet most of us have fought similar battles.
My thoughts are with you and keep your chin up.

Medical conditions are so tough to deal with. At least with other things you have some control of the situation.

HA HA HA, your Grandpa's an ASS!- Tourette's Guy (R.I.P)
I'll post to OT for tomorrow.
My mornings are busy like crazy, like right now I’m making a lap past the computer while my kids are busy with fingerpaints.
No time to post an OT early, I have to do them late at night. Family is in town so no computer for me last night.
So after listening to Chinese Democracy, all the way through, in my rig on the way to work last night
I’ve decided I like the title track, Shackler’s Revenge, and Madagascar. The rest can DIAF.
I have never really been a fan of GnR
I’ve tried, really, but it just never happened. This new album has essentially locked that up for me. The single they’ve been playing on the radio (title track, I think) is BAD. Like, mega bad. Doesn’t do a thing for me

The bands themselves aren't in any specific order, but the individual albums are organized by release date.
The bottom two of course being “Iron Maiden” and “Killers”
That works
I’m incredibly anal about album organization (though I’m pretty much all-digital now). I had several organizers to accommodate all my cd’s, and I always alphabetized them. If I bought a new one, everything would get moved back a slot so that there would be room. Real pain in the ass

Ha! I just got done doing that to get it in there.
The only reason I even still use CD’s is because I don’t have an mp3 player hookup in my Jeep. And the sound system in it is badass. The person who owned this rig before me put it in and it rules. If I want to get the full highest quality experience from an album, I just pop it in the cd player in my Jeep and go for a drive.
Hahahaha, this makes me think of some 70's variety show with the goofy lights, doubleknits with wide collars.
Smothers Brothers, Laugh In, Sonny and Cher.
