That sucks! Did they partial refund at least?Went to see Coheed and Cambria play in Syracuse on Friday...
...and the show ended two hour early due to rain. They played eight songs. Count 'em. Eight.
No, but since it was only a $10. show, I'm not complaining much. Then again, pay $10., get $10. worth of music...
Also, few things make me angrier than being cut off by an old man in a yellow SmartCar with a license plate that read:
IMSMRTRU
~laughter~ Just use a controlled EMP to short out his car.
Yeah, I've just been busy and/or socially awkward.Random question for you, Mikhaila: is there an in-joke with the Kobold Chorus and your Beloved Spouse [quickened silence on the Chorus so he can finish his question] that you would be willing to share, or have I missed it already somewhere?There is an in-joke of sorts. To answer it, do a google search for "Red Dragon Interview" or Click Here
It's what the Kobolds say anytime the words "Our Beloved Master" are uttered.
You know, I never did watch those things. 4E Apathy Powers Go!
Thanks for the explanation, though. I've just always been curious. :)
You're quite welcome. The Red Dragon interview is the best of the lot, and while I'm not fond in any way shape or form of 4E, I found great amusement in it. And, well, I quote it ALL the time.
Yum yum YUMMY!

Ack. I've pretty much had it from this month. If there is a hell and it isn't this world, then I really do have to wonder how much worse it can be? Intellectually, yes I know that hell is supposed to be worse than anything else, and that things almost always invariably get worse when you already think that they can't do so, but right now I'm not feeling very intellectual but tired and thoroughly fed up.
I'm pretty sure I know exactly how you feel right now. My condolences.

Well, the trial is over. The defendant plead guilty to murder so the past 3 days were spent rendering a punishment. It was a very difficult case to hear. For those interested:
I felt the defendant received a fair trial and that we the jurors carefully considered all of the facts before rendering our decision. We made our decision knowing that many lives would be affected by our decision and we did not take this responsibility lightly.
I believe it is very important that rational people embrace their duty to serve on juries so that there is an opportunity for justice to be served for all parties involved. If you are summoned for jury duty, do your best to fulfill that obligation. I'm very glad I did.

Amen, TR. It can be a hard thing, but it is important. Well done.

I too agree with that.
Vacuums.... Vacuums suck big time. Plug it in, turn it on, epic suckage
yeah, vacuums....
Monday night I was at work til almost 3 AM selling people copies of Halo: Reach. By the time I got home and wound down enough to sleep, it was nearly 4, and I had to get up at 11 so I could be back at work at 1. I worked until 10 last night, then went straight back to bed, because I had to be up this morning at 6 to be at work at 8.
All I've done in the last 48 hours is work and sleep, almost literally. Now that I'm home and don't have to go to sleep right away, I'm too tired to actually do anything, including open and play my copy of Reach, which is still in the f&&#ing plastic...

I agree as well. It is, in my opinion, one of the most important duties a U.S. citizen can adhere to.

+1!!!
Ask yourself what would happen if you were needing a jury. That is what I always ask myself. No one is ever impartial, but everyone needs to be as fair and honest as they can be. Plus everyone needs to serve as a juror.

Im glad you did it. I always think about what would happen if I was on trial and how I would want a good jury pool that would judge me fairly, and that's what I think about whenever I get the letter.

I'd LOVE to do jury duty but I've never been asked.
does that make me wierd?

Or an unregistered voter.
I had jury duty once but was never selected for a jury. All I did was sit in a room with a bunch of others for 5 hours a day for a week.

In some jurisdictions you can request to be added to the roster.
Last time I had jury duty, I waited through selection for five hours, before the fact that I technically hold down three jobs (counting freelancing) and the fact that I subscribe to Straight Edge got me disqualified.
I'll bite. Why does Straight Edge gets you disqualified in this situation?

In some jurisdictions if you read Straight Edge you're considered to be involved with the skin-head movement.
Unless he's coming in and wearing X's on his hands, it's more common nowadays for people to have their heads shaved. Maybe it's me, but I don't think the average attorney is going to ask that question in specifics.

I'd say its this.
Well, don't wear your Earth Crisis shirts to jury selection, then. :p

Rain in northern California which is just wet enough to annoy me, but not to relieve the high humidity.
Rain when I have to take the bus.
Rain when I have a massive hole in my shoe.
Not having correct bus fare and having to spend $5 for a $2 trip.
Riding the bus in the rain.
...
And normally, I like the rain.
One of my closest high-school friends died of a heart attack Friday.
RIP Deb, you will be missed.
I'm very sorry.
Losing someone makes us all pause and take stock of our lives.
Sorry Patrick. What a terrible reminder of how fleeting and precious life really is.
Thanks guys for the well-wishes.
It's an odd feeling, I mean, I had just gotten reacquainted with her through social networking a few years back, but in high school we were very close before she moved to Georgia after getting married. I really have a weird reaction going on now, like shock, sadness and pensiveness all blended into a nasty depression colada.
*sigh*
I gotta find something positive to do. I'm becoming quite morbid ...
Sorry for the loss.
Get up, get out, be with some folks. Here's to life, Pat you wily ol' monkey. Don't let the black dog get more than a few hairs off your tail.

The father of a friend I had back in high school shot himself last night. Larry had been an alcoholic, but didn't seem to have any other problems--he was a successful electrician with two grown kids and a nice house. I hadn't seen or talked to his son in years, so when I got the message, it was kind of a shock. I didn't know Larry very well, but his death is just one more thing that'll be on my mind.
It seems like everyone I know has either just died, just gone to prison, or just gotten married. It's odd, and I wonder which category I'm going to fall into.

Hopefully the last one. ~sighs~ I am sorry to hear that, David. My condolences go out to you and your friend's family.
Patrick, my condolences to you on your loss.
Likewise to you, David. :(

Sorry to hear that bro. It's weird how people who are kinda on the sidelines of our lives can affect us deeply with their passing. My best frined's mother died of lung cancer (3 weeks from diagnosis to death) when I was 25. It was surreal. One minute she was there, and then *poof*.

It's funny how that works. I call it the '27' effect. My theory is that the artifical numbers we call 'adulthood' aren't really good markers. I think the actual transition from adolescence to adulthood is centered around the 27th year. Of course, there are variations, but it seems at that age most people are:
- Working hard at their careers
- Getting married and having children
- Engaging in the final addiction death spiral
- Despairing of life and contemplating terminating it
- Running out of 'get out of jail free' rulings from the local judge
- Having a crisis about WTF they're going to do with the rest of their lives
- Some combination of the above
It seems like a lot of rock stars OD/suicide at this age (Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Kurt Colbain, etc.) I know Kurt's death really affected me, beacause we were only a few months apart in age, and it really struck home as I was wrestling with my transition. Heck, a year later I enlisted in the Army =O
