In Coffee Spoons

GIMME THAT CHRISTIAN SIDE HUG

THAT CHRISTIAN SIDE HUG

Probably the only place to hear the line "I'm a rough rider/filled up with Christ's love" and definitely the only place to hear a rapper admonish you about being inappropriate.

You guys do realize that at this point you are parodying yourselves, right?

Waiter: Would you like some coffee?
Woman: Yes, please.
Waiter: Just say when. (Starts to pour.)
Woman: There. (He keeps pouring.) That’s fine. (He pours.) Stop! (She grabs the pot; there is coffee everywhere.)
Waiter: Yes, ma’am.
Woman: Well, why didn’t you stop pouring?
Waiter: Oh, I wasn’t sure you meant it.
Woman: Look, of course I meant it! I have coffee all over my lap! You nearly burned me!
Waiter: Forgive me, ma’am, but you certainly looked thirsty. I thought you wanted more.
Woman: But -
Waiter: And you must admit, you did let me start to pour.

EPIC MICKEY MOTHERFUCKING CONFIRMED.



I have not picked up the Game informer issue highlighting it yet (going to do so tomorrow or Monday). First details @ Aussie-Nintendo reveal a great plot:

"The game explores the existence of a forgotten world, a place where lesser-known Disney characters are relegated to. A dark and depressing land filled with broken rides and set pieces, these unloved characters have become bitter and twisted. Lead by Oswald the Rabbit (Disney's first ever creation - long before Mickey Mouse), they now seek revenge for what they've become."

I love it. I mean, the entire concept of a steampunk dystopia Disney is impossible not to love. But Erin's already going over potential character appearances (The Aussie Nintendo shows a revamped Phantom Blot that gave her a Ladies' Moment) and I'm going over potential ride/attraction appearances. This is really going to be a chunk of Disney history.

It's confirmed for the Wii, and confirmed that the project is being headed by Warren Spector. I was impressed when I simply heard that Spector was going to be involved, and am double-impressed after Game Informer's video interview showcasing his insane Disney fanboyism.

For those of you who missed the leaked concept art, check it out.

Now...I just wait god only knows how long for the game to actually come out. ;_;

Parents say kid's thong is just plain wrong

[18:36] BigOrangePerson: i wonder if this store is just a pretentious front to catch pedophiles?
[18:37] Seiran79: They market to teenagers too much. Last thing you want is a pubescent pair of tits harshing your pedo-buzz.
[18:37] Seiran79: That sentence is going to be used against me in a court of law.

P.S. Kiddie thongs! Unethical? Adorable? You, the viewer, decide.

Magical backtracking in time: I had a great birthday. Thank you and <3 <3 <3 to everyone who sent me greetings, even Dap who sent me this what the fuck thank you but what the fuck.

Erin and Mom came for cake (yay) and presents (yay) and Thai food (yay) and shopping (yay).

World's cutest birthday cake.

Kitcheny goodness from my family. Along with a bunch of groceries. So set to cook now. Lot of new recipes I've been wanting to try.

Erin wrangled me a really great DS emulator and downloaded me a bunch of ROMs. I'm failing hardcore at the DS version of Cooking Mama because it requires the mic. Don't stare at me with those flaming fire eyes, Mama! I'm trying my best!

Erin stayed over for a long weekend, which was also great. We watched a ton of movies. A ton. Good movies. Bad movies. Hilariously bad movies. Eraserhead freaked her out more than I was epxecting, but I consider that fair trade for the shit like Felidae and Skywhales that she keeps bringing when she visits.

I just realized how often my celebrations are a blend of cute, fun, and horrific. Awesome.

Liberty, overworked and underslept and believing it to be the 12th, sent me my birthday internet goodness today:

A kitty video (of a kitty)


Thank you, sweetie! GO GET SOME SLEEP.

Monday: "I'm sorry, we can't turn your power on today because we thought your meter was outside so we told you that you wouldn't have to be home but then it turned out we were wrong and it was an inside meter and you weren't home so we rescheduled."

Tuesday:

Guy: "Hi, how are you?"

Me: "COME THE HELL IN BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS."

Guy: *fiddles with meter and has my power on in two minutes*

Me: "You are my hero."

So I'm completely moved into my own apartment now-- really, all I had left to bring downstairs was the contents of my fridge-- and very, very happy.

It's a nice little place. I've been rearranging the ugly mismatched couches and adding some plants and pictures to make it more home-ish and less like a basement. Not that it still doesn't yell "flat-broke first apartment", because it does. The ugly mismatched couches see to that. But I'm working on it.

Pics likely to come soon. I'm still clearing out boxes and bubble wrap.

...Okay, I'm clearing out the boxes and playing with the bubble wrap.
