Saw a video of a badger turned into a theramin. ...
Aaaaand sober.
I suppose I should be disappointed.
But, really, since unlike normal humans, I can’t sleep while drunk, I kind of like that the alcohol has worn off.
Besides… I have a new eee Transformer Prime to configure as soon as its done charging.
I feel epic. I'm playing the Skyrim theme on...
Where’s there a dragon?
I want to defeat it with my bare hands.
And you may be, like, Hatey, why are you drunk? ...
Except you won’t because I am followed by exactly no one.
But I will tell you why regardless, because I like to imagine an audience of tens, nay, scores hanging on my every word!
I have been sick since Thursday and, therefore, eaten next-to-nothing for three days.
I felt better today. And it was also the last weekend of SF Strong Beer Week (which, despite what Christmas says [because...
Guess who's drunk?
Feeling too crappy to do anything but Tumble, Day...
I really hope to feel better by the time mid-day rolls around. Maybe actually the energy to at least play a videogame. Haven’t turned the X-Box on since Wednesday. But what I really want to do is get out there and go shopping for a tablet.
Pray my broken down old meatbag of a body cooperates.

Still trying to fancast Cowboy Bebop from last...
Okay, so we have Bandicoot Hammerpants* as Spike Spiegel:
That one has already been established.
Then Gerard Butler as Jet Black works almost too well:
I think that Matthew Gray Gubler (who I recently learned of) certainly has the look to play Spike’s nemesis Vicious.
And, of course, there’s Thorgi as Ein the Datadog
The real issue I’m having in the fancast...

notreallykira replied to your post: An X-Men comic that’s actually fun? Weird.
wow. this is so starkly different from the Winter Soldier issue I picked up today. FUN? In a COMIC BOOK? my god.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Brubaker, I really do. But, sometimes, yeah, I wanna see some straight-up superpowered hijinx. That’s part of why I so dearly love, say, Ultimate Spider-Man or...

Had to unfollow when I realized that most superhero comics art featuring women is unfortunately NSFW.
Which is completely ridiculous.

More like all your creys because I’m at la Oaxaqueña without you!
Okay, now that my screams of rage and frustration have subsided, I am so happy to hear that the thing where it seemed like the restaurant was closing was a false alarm and it is now open again.
I really do miss the banana-leaf chicken mole tamales. And the blue corn pupusas. And that guacamole.
Damn.
I wish I...

An X-Men comic that's actually fun? Weird.
Wolverine and the X-Men.
Like, and this is sad, but I don’t remember an X-Men comic making me laugh since, I dunno… maybe some random throwaway line during Whedon’s Astonishing run. And, even then, that series was mostly pretty grim.
Jason Aaron, however, is having waaaaay too good a time on WatXM.
Issue #6 is mostly about Wolverine taking Kid Omega to an intergalactic...

Alaska-(ENEWSPF)- A man from Juneau, Alaska, has filed suit with the state’s Division of Elections to bar President Obama from appearing on that state’s ballot on the basis that the President is a “Mulatto”, and “the race of ‘Negro’ or ‘Mulatto’ had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.”

Yet another reminder that it's time for boomers to...
It’s a small thing, just the rating that the MPAA has handed down on a limited release documentary.
Except it’s not such a small thing. The film is Bully, about, well, bullying in America, and has been given an R rating due to “harsh language”.
So, a film that would most benefit children, that probably should be shown in schools, can’t be seen by unaccompanied...

But what about this?
scoldylox:
What if Ted Mosby is a character created by George Costanza through which he can live vicariously? Like, what if George did become a TV writer through Jerry’s show (which in this AU actually was picked up… go with me on this), and when it was canceled, he jumped onto HIMYM to exclusively write Ted’s part. Is that why Ted has so much hair?
Think about it.
That works. Because we all...

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning =
World of Warcraft with actual OK combat, a fun crafting system and no need to actually talk to anyone (or miss out on half the content because I don’t want to talk to anyone).
It really should be getting more love, I think.

svenpartymaan replied to your photo: Still Fife “This is my good side.”
Soooo cute. What kinda little dude is he?
She’s a Yorkie. But a bit of an oddball. Fife’s AKC and all that (from her prior owner), but she’s BIG for a yorkie - like 9-10 pounds. She’s also 8 but thinks shes a puppy.
If you say "y'all" or "ain't" in my presence,...

“Unlike the Earth, we’re intelligent, and we can actually manage things.”

This is Taylor Wilson, who, at 14, built a working fusion reactor in his garage.

Songs I sang tonight at karaoke, February 2012...
macepoints:
- “Deeper and Deeper,” Madonna - “It’s Raining Men,” The Weathergirls*
* This was one of my standards when I first started going to karaoke, and I can’t actually remember the last time I sang it.
I seem to remember a couple of other songs you did, Mace. Though exactly what they were has been obliterated by your riot grrrl final few stanzas of “It’s Raining...
