That first article does seem like it ought to be of use to me: unfortunately the last time I was listening to some quiet, rhythmic music it was probably Omar Faruk Tekbilek and I was likely at least moderately welded to my nargile as part of the procedure. Still, shisha does help just as I’ve always found cigarillos to though perhaps by saying that it helps what I in fact mean is that it calms me down enough so that the urge to defenestrate idiots passes.

As for GTA it’s nice to see something positive reported about it since all that seems to filter through half the time are asinine assertions that it makes children violent because they can’t differentiate reality from fiction. I’ve never had the pleasure of playing any of the GTA games alas and I suspect that I’d just do poorly at them but they do seem fun if they’re anything like Postal 2 which I also never got particularly far with, mostly because I spent my time running around with a spade decapitating people and in the final battle of spade-wielding maniac vs. armed police officers I was always going to lose.

And dear me, all those photographs do look delightfully educational. I’ve even heard that the chap who writes the blog featured in the second one sometimes launches into huge screeds about political events on occasion.


Have the Zero Punctuation review there as well.

Presumably that urge to defenestrate an idiot or two involves throwing from a 4th-story window of some sort? Perhaps chucking an idiot out of a window overseeing a ravine with natural hazards is a bit cruel after all and is an urge that needs to be reckoned with quietly.

The ZP review was really something to pay attention to seeing as how I forgot about the little fact that I was having a chat with my cousin...so it ended up with:

XChocolatePagerX (12:13:13): hello?
SHINiMEGAMI xoXo (12:13:34): sorry
SHINiMEGAMI xoXo (12:13:36): watching a video

SHINiMEGAMI xoXo (12:15:19): It's something you don't need in life.
XChocolatePagerX (12:15:37): you steal cars and run away lol
SHINiMEGAMI xoXo (12:16:04): [laughs]

But you know, the lovely chap featured is just so adorable when he throws his little fits. ♥♥♥
On a more serious note, it's no exaggeration that there's a good chance of yours truly learning about what's going on around the globe than from any of my classroom sittings.

Come now, my dear, anything less than a tenth floor is a half measure.

As an aid to distracting you from the strange use of ‘lol’ as punctuation further the console rundown is really worth watching too, if only because it contains the line: “The player base can charitably be described as ‘lively’ and uncharitably described as a bunch of hooting dickholes” in Yahtzee's wonderfully deadpan voice.

It's funny; allegedly, the GTA series is very popular, but I can't think of anyone I know who holds more than a passing acknowledgement for the franchize. An interesting phenomenon...

Also, Watermelon > Cucumbers. :D

(Reply) (Thread)

Cucumbers will keep you cool without filling your bladder as much.

People who play the GTA series need help, okay? That's my conclusion.

_{Good to see you alive, mind you.}

Well, fine! Have it your way!

Well, in all fairness, they're not a bad series of games by any stretch of the imagination, I just can't think of anyone who's as enthusiastic about them as the media makes them out to be.

And likewise! Now, if we could just get our schedules to mesh properly...

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

My schedule is simple.

On a regular (read: school) week, between 0600 hours PST and 1120 hours PST, I will probably be on school grounds, but I will also likely be online and proxying about.
From there on, what I do varies, but it usually follows something like:

• go out to lunch with friends
• go home
• stay in Bolen's room
• do intern hours at my GP's clinic

I'm assuming you either are using Opera or a home ISP?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Mine fluctuates from day to day, so it'd be pointless to nail it all here. Generally though, I'm online between 11pm PST and 1 or 2am, whenever I fall asleep. :P

Yes, I'm using Opera on my DS, but what does that have to do with anything?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Then there's no meshing.

Shoo, disappear, ye who sleeps none.

but what does that have to do with anything?
I'm wondering because you're suddenly active on my LJ.

What's elephants stuffies doing in calculus?????
Hehehe...Using proxy, are we? :P

(Reply) (Thread)

[coughs] We learn how to measure the mass of the elephants via integration? From foot to trunk of the function Elephant with respect to safari?

This is evidence that I need to go to sleep now.

You know, my high school has a horrible firewall anyway. I've exploited it a few times. But proxy is easier. XD
