Oi, I'm not a citizen, I'm a Rysky.Okay, Tactics has my name on a list. Dafuq is going on?Report to central facilities for processing, citizen.
Better be careful! Processing her would definitely fall under the category of risky business.

Tis a lovely day! Cold, but lovely.
They still haven't shoveled or plowed our neighborhood. Considering it had stopped snowing by 6 p.m. and we only got nine inches, that's pretty shameful.
Doesn't bother me, but there are a lot of pissed off people trying to get to work.
I hope the property manager chews out the snow removal company owner on our cul-de-sac as usual. She is the nicest woman, but man can she chew people out!

Good Morning, everyone.
I really lucked out downloading AMVs last night. I found over a dozen videos worthy of being in my collection, including ( and Freehold would enjoy this ) a video of Black Lagoon set to Shinedown's Sound of Madness. It's a video of ( Yes, Freehold. You guessed correctly. ) Revy going on a trigger-happy rampage.
Do you have "Anime's got Talent" AMV? I love that one.

I got to play with my new toy Monday morning. My snow blower is fully automated I just walk behind it and tell it where to toss the snow. I could learn to love winter again.

Until it goes on strike and demands better working conditions and much more maintenance time.
Enjoy it while it lasts, though!

And their will be hefty maintenance bills.
Most common break down for new snow blowers is the chain for the snow blades gets loose and you notice it doesn't shoot snow as well, or as far. It generally happens after the first really wet and heavy snowfall.
Also check to see if bolts are loose at least once a month, or twice if you get a lot of snow.

LOL. Last night Impus Major asked to stay home today due to overwhelming stress from the amount of homework he's been getting assigned since Thanksgiving.
Unlike CY, I said, "Sure!"
Of course, it's only his third absence for the year, so it's not like he abuses the privilege. And after helping him with his homework, it's hard to blame him.
His Tuesday night Chemistry homework was a 46-row, 6-column spreadsheet of mindless data entry. "Cesium is a +1 ion. Sulfur is a -2 ion. So they combine to form Cs_2 S."
I can see doing it 5-10 times to get the idea, but 46 times?!?!?
Plus SEVENTEEN written answers. Things like, "Define density. Explain why it is important. Give an example."
All due on Thursday. And that's only ONE class' worth of assignments. He's in SEVEN classes. Fortunately, his P.E. teacher only asked him to learn the rules of bowling. Not as bad as the rest...

I have noticed an increasing amount of mind-numbing homework being offered to students over the years- and I am someone who loved homework, I preferred to work on my own and read the book myself in my earlier years which lead to no small amount of complaints and issues until I went to college.

Original Mad Max isn't as post apocalypse as I was led to believe.
I mean I guess his leather pants in the morning is a pretty dark vision of the future, but otherwise I'm a bit... disappointed.

What I find interesting is that it seems pretty clear that the situation is the midst of deteriorating throughout that film.
The typical traits of a post-apocalypse - the full dissolution of all that we consider civilized, and relegation to living off the surviving junk of the past - has not entirely happened, yet, but the deterioration of civilization is occurring pretty much before our eyes in that film: it's less post-apocalypse, and more mid-apocalypse.
Granted, a slow, torturous apocalypse that refuses to give the visceral satisfaction of "this is the single moment when everything changed" and more the long slow decline of society due to a loss of easily-acquired goods, but that kind of makes sense as well - it's how almost every major civilization and society failed before hand, so I don't see why a global society/civilization would inherently be immune to such failings.
... but it is a slow and not-very-good film, sooooo...

We're watching Death Note now, and it's a wonderfully creepy anime. Very much fun trying to assign alignments to all the major players, as morality has nothing to do, yet everything to do, with the overall theme.
Young man finds notebook such that, if he writes a person's name in said notebook, the person dies.
It would be an insanely dull series if he did anything remotely sane with the vile artifact.
So he decides that he's personally going to make the world a paradise by personally killing all evildoers, his soul be damned.
And man, does the show have fun with the moral implications of THAT approach!
My *only* complaint is my own pessimism. If he can research and kill one bad guy every 5 minutes for his entire waking life, that's only 192 bad guys a day, or 70,000 a year. Is that really enough to change the world?
Interesting question...

It is if he can just take the worst 192 offenders and let the rest ponder what happened.
