Entries from June 2010 ↓

For the first time in a month, I don’t have any homework to do. After falling behind by a week due to E. Coli and missing the first day of class before that, I’ve been catching up since then, particularly since one of my classes ended up with two due dates per week, one of which I missed of course last week, but it wasn’t enough to really hurt my grade.

Now I have nothing to do. My papers are done and the upcoming homework for the week isn’t posted. Since I’ve got two more classes starting next week every instinct I have is telling me I have homework to do, something is due now, something must be done. They’re wrong. Nothing.

I don’t know how to feel about that, just that I now feel restless.

Belts cost more than pants, and I find this inexplicable. Maybe I just buy really cheap pants, but I fail to comprehend why belts cost so damn much. Give me a buckle, a little thread, a need, and some beef jerky. I’ll make a belt. I’ll make a delicious belt, in fact, that you can eat if you’re lost in the desert. You can’t eat a regular leather belt, and certainly not a cloth one! But for 20 bucks, I can definitely make an edible jerkybelt.

So if I can make a jerkybelt for 20, why can’t I just buy a non-edible, single-function (well, I suppose making sure no child goes unbeaten is a secondary function) belt for less than that? I just want my pants to stay up, I don’t need the emergency ration, and I, like my friend, am pretty sure belts are just made from shoe scraps anyway. No excuse I say, not for this pricing!

This post brought to you by Spider-Man:Reign. If you haven’t read it, don’t. Just know Mary Jane dies of cancer. From Peter’s radioactive semen.

Really.

Spider-jizz, Spider-jizz,

Radioactive Spider-jizz!

Is it green? I don’t know.

But I hear in the dark it glows!

Look out!

Here comes the Spider-jizz!

I need to be less polychronic for once. Waking up from noon to 2 pm makes it hard to remember to do a post here in what seems to be a relatively early point in my day.

It’s a regular bra, by the way. Not a sports bra.

I couldn’t get a front angle on this, but it had a neon print on the front, much like the 1990s “Malibu”, “California”, and “Hawaii” shirts. I tried. Sorry. It was colored like the bra, though.

Come to think of it, maybe it was pink bra day at Wal-Mart.

Five geek social fallacies. Read ‘em, learn ‘em, avoid ‘em. I’ve seen more good groups utterly collapse because of these five social myths so many of us fall victim to.

It’s a Steam sale again, and just like the January sale this one is utter madness. One day sales, deep discounts, and all the best games for bottom barrel prices. Telltale Complete packs for $50, THQ complete packs for the same, 33% off anything Ubisoft.

Say goodbye to your money.

Phoenix summer is a special kind of hot. Yes, it’s a dry heat. No, it doesn’t make a difference at 110 degrees with the sun beating down on you due to lack of cloud cover. I have all kinds of things I need to do, and any other point in the year or most other places on Earth, I could do them all in a day.

But Phoenix heat is that special kind where once you go to the bank, or refill a CO2 cylinder, or visit Target, you’re done for a few hours. It’s already too god damn hot to do anything after 30 minutes of exposure, particularly when your car is a solid 130 degrees when you get in, and the ignition can cause a first or second degree burn.

I think it’s time to bring old fashioned driving gloves back in style, at least for a few months. We’ll cut the “can’t hold onto the wheel, ow ow ow ow” wrecks by half, and I wouldn’t have to spend quite as much time in the house.

I hate that they’re sold in like, two stores in the US. Target (had them), Fry’s Electronics has them, but fuck they’re expensive. $3.50 for 10 cookies? Ouch. Especially considering they may not survive more than a day depending on how much coffee drinking happens in your house in the morning. At least Nabisco is starting their own version up, but will it be as good as the faux-original? Only time will tell I suppose.

Until then, I pray Tim Tams start ending up in more stores, I don’t want to travel 20 minutes for a sleeve of cookies. Amazing cookies, but still cookies.

when u said patience is required exactly how much do u waite 4 the install?

I’m pretty sure it speaks for itself.
