The good thing is that you are friends already. This makes things a lot easier.

Do not ask her to go to the prom as a date, rather ask her to go with you as friends because as friends you both "don't have someone else to go with". This allows you to go with her, but try to drop subtle hints.

The opener is a good start though I'm hoping the Giants' offense will become more consistent.

City of Heroes, long story short, it's like World of Warcraft but with comic book characters instead of midevil Tolkien-esque archetypal characters.

My main character is Bruce Lee meets Wolverine.

I don't know which is cuter, the chipmunk music they put in behind the video or the way you got shy and tensed up over all the attention you were getting.

This is so badass on so many levels that it's not even funny, and I WANTS ONE NAO!!! My department manager at work is a knife geek as well, and he bought one recently by the same blacksmith with a twisted handle on it. Badass. RAGINGLY BADASS.

Just thought I'd share a joke I thought was amusing... politicky-but stll teh funneh.

St. Peter is at the Pearly Gates checking up on the people waiting to enter Heaven. He asks the next one in line, "So, who are you, and what did you do on Earth?". The fellow says, "I'm Barack Obama, and I was the first black person to be elected President of the United States." St. Peter says, "The U.S.? A black President? You gotta be kidding me! When did this happen?" To which Obama replies, "About twenty minutes ago."

If Brady can quickly shake off some rust after missing all four preseason games.

There was a same joke here about an argentinian referee who had (legitimately) given Brazil a penalty with one minute before the end of the match, in Arg-Bra the world cup final.
But there were several characters in order to lengthen the joke.

I almost passed out in the grass of my back yard last night, petting my kitty and my puppy.

Yeah.

John Stewart is god.

That is all.

Philly fans are the worst of the bunch, even more so than the rioting Red Sox fans and can potentially rival the soccer hooligans.

Oh Dear God

College seems to be working out well.

Suite Crashdown (as I have so lovingly called it for it's residents) is working out fine. For a suite full of drug users, it's not that bad.

My next door room has a heroine junky and some kid that likes shrooms (the herione kid is crashing right now, he's passed out in the bathroom in the rescue position), we also have the standard pot heads, the barbituate and valium users and traditional alchoholics like me.

More then likely I'm not going to see 95% of them after the first semester or two (not sure if they go to classes) but it's generally pretty good.

I can't decide wether it would be funny or scary to live next door to a herion addict.

I'm writing a thing... about the Pink Triangles for my play-writing class. (Not a university thing... going to San Francisco for that.)

I've nearly done my major project, to write 30 pages to either climbing action or completion.

I was inspired by theater of the absurd (mostly by Ionesco's crazy ass plays.)
And my character goes to Flossenburg where they treated gays in the most absurd ways such as moving stones in a triangle... all day... or moving snow from one way to the other... just all these absurd and meaningless stuff. Pushing boulders.

And my character, Heinz, is realizing that the Holocaust is sort of like his own version of "Myth of Sisyphus."

You know, from Albert Cadmus

And... here is where my teach and I disagree.
I want to make the very last Holocaust scene into a musical... the climax.

Think... The Producers and "Spring Time for Hitler." Very gaudy.

Because, in my play, a concept I've presented is that comedy is a stronger form of tragedy. (This ties into the whole concept of Theater of the Absurd.)

But... anyways...
Here are the lyrics, which is perhaps the most obscene thing I've written...
Don't know why I'm doing this, but I feel proud in the sense that it's trash, but I got 5 guys in the class singing this out in the parking lot.

You judge--

Sisi Boy Sisiphus By CEMR

Sisi, sisi, Sisiphus!
You're nothing but a sisy boy...
You ought not to give a fuss... Sisiphus!
Sisi, sisi, Sisiphus!
Things are hard, things aren't right,
but you still... why do you FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!
Oh, sisy boy Sisiphus!
Don't you know it's time for you to die,
ain't no need to cry.
Push that boulder really high...
Frame your shoulders really tight...
Because, because, because this is life
So get used to it sisi boy, to all this strife--
Oh sisi boy Sisiphus,
tell me, tell me, tell me
that this jail is not like Hell...
because, because, because, Sisyphus--
It's Hell.
Helllll.
Hellllll...
Say farewell.
In Hell.
Farewell...
In Hell...
Farewell--
Burn in Hell.

My coworker/City of Heroes Mentor isn't telling me something.

I went to him and told him that bit about how fast I was regenerating health the other day, and he gave me this incredulous look and said "you should be healing a LOT faster for what you put into it." He then told me the proper way to look up game stats. It turns out that at most I was regenerating at a rate of 5% a second the other night, but it was enough to be termed "sick" by the other player I was up against.

He (my coworker) has a character he has spent upwards of 500 million in-game-cash on that has a regeneration rate of 100% per second, using roughly the same enhancement sets I have.

Something's amiss here.

I.... I don't know. I honestly don't know. I do know he's been playing since the game was in beta testing, and he pretty much knows the gamer inside and out, so the chances of him exploiting in-game glitches and the like is pretty well likely.

It is fucking POURING here. And we really need to go run errands and such. Grr.

My little sister is getting married next year. She really wants us to get married before her, which I told her was terribly unfair considering she's been engaged longer. I think I'm going to buy her this little robot cake topper as a personal gift. I don't expect her to actually put it on a cake, but she and her fiance are both design students, and I think they would like it as home decor.

You think you've got it bad? It's been raining constantly for the past three days or so and as a result ther eis Damp developing in the wall of the my living room. To make the matters worse the damp is right on top of the wall socket, which blew yesterday, satrted buzzing and burning.

Also the main road which you need to go along to get anywhere from where I am is flooded and impassable meaning I can't go anywhere = )

Also:

Yay Seven is alright = )

Quick! To the Tin-foil bunker! it will protect us from Nuclear Radiation AND the Governments mind control rays.

On a somewhat related note, has anyone heard about something called a pain-ray? supposedly its a weapon the US police use to break up riots and shit, but because of the way it works it can be reflected back....by tinfoil...meaning at some point all riots will occur with people wearing tinfoil hats. I can see the media having a field day:

' And in the news today the latest WTO talks were disrupted by protetsts, but we dont need to pay attention to them as they were all wearing tinfoil hats and came from the internet. And now a Chipmunk that looks like Dick Cheney!'

So I'm trying to get a job, right? Cuz I gots teh billz n' stuff. And I've been sending out approximately 4 resumes a day ad have not heard back from any... save 2. One is a job canvassing nearby areas to register people to vote and to look for members in an Obama-centric grassroots campaign... pay is crappy, hours are crappy, and it requires pounding pavement for many hours a day if I want to make enough to live. I've also done other types of canvassing and hated it... i see no reason why this will be any different.

The other is a job that's about 30 miles away in Howell... and as yet-to-be-determined pay/awesomeness (I'll know on Monday when I go for my interview).

Now I'm all about rooting and trying to elect obama, but my own economy is the most important thing here... I'm 1 month away from having all of my federal loans out of default and being able to return to school and finish my degree finally, and I'm looking at over 1200 a month in bills. The hours of that job basically guarantee that I wouldn't be able to get another job to cover expenses, so I'd have to work at least 4 12-hour shifts just to make ends meet.

Do I take the job that's going to suck and not pay enough, or do I risk another couple weeks of unemployment trying to find a better job?

Also: Seven... good to see you're okay... and I dig the accent so fuck 'em!

If you think you're qualified, and you truly know, wait for the better job.

It's hard. :-(

Definitely qualified for a better job. I mean, I helped develop the auditing system that Google uses with it's book project scanning stations across the country (after dropping our local error rate from 2.5% to under .5% using it). I have led crews in nearly every field I've worked in, and have extensive experience with computers, retal, management, customer service, and trades.

There is nothing I can't do and do well (save for high-end skill jobs like in the medical profession (which, ironically, are in HIGH demand around here)). But the Michigan economy sucks balls and it looks like if I want to avoid this crappy canvassing job I'm going to have to go make sammiches somewhere.

Blah. I just want to get my degree so I can get out of this shithole of a state.

Experience is experience. Be careful what you stick your foot into if you aren't willing to fall in for awhile and swim around. Nobody likes someone coming to their pool only to kick water about for five minutes and then leave. What are your long-term plans? Schooling needs? Financial goals?

I'm in between seasonal work right now, staying home and performing caretaker duties for my grams. It isn't a financial boon, but it's time spent where I need to be. Where do you need to be?

You're joking about going door-to-door to buy votes though, right? I have a real hard time grasping the notion that twenty minutes of my time could persuade someone to make a decision they didn't feel necessary to persue on their own. It's salesmenship, and the product being sold is an unproven investment bought by years and years of American sacrifice. The act itself isn't "wrong" really, I just think it's an uneven balance between personal responsibility and personal investment.

Either way, I hope whatever you choose puts food on your table, and makes the place you live a little better.
