I can't seem to wake up today. Nor can I construct a thoughtful narrative. So here are some of the thoughts floating through my head on this Monday.
-The super bowl happened last night. I live in Louisiana. I still don’t know what “Who Dat” means.
-Playing Mass Effect 2. Mordin…..sweet, wonderful Mordin. You
sing. I like to think you are doing that just for me.
-Speaking of Mass Effect 2, I bought a hamster. It appears to be scared of me. I named him Mr. Tickles, after my uncle.
-The host of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives is a fucking douche. Fact: Wrap-around sunglasses on the back of your head does not a man make. That being said, I would brain the pope with a concrete baby Jesus to get his job.
-I paid off the Bioshock 2 special edition. I really wanted, nay,
needed the vinyl. Did I mention I have a beard and wear a cardigan? That’s how I let people know I am very, very sensitive.
-I’m getting Dante’s Inferno for $20. Seems about what it’s worth.
-Thai food > Vietnamese but there’s room in my heart for both.
-For those of you that don't know out there, the Po-Boy is not that big of a deal. Muffalletas, which I still contend sound like a euphemism for a vagina, are pretty damn good though. It’s a quasi sandwich with a salt content to rival a bowl of ramen.
-Ive decided that instead of flipping people off when I’m in traffic, I’m going to start keeping a crucifix in my car to hold up to them so that they may reflect on their sins.
-The Wolf Man movie looks dumb.
-I think I’ve quit being impressed with Tim Burton. I still like his visual style but shit be the same for every movie.
-Cashew butter. It’s like peanut butter, only sluttier.
-Anyone seen that splicer figure they are releasing? It’s got tumors on it. That should be an accessory for all figures.
-Stew > soup
-I think bread bowls are a white people thing.
-Penn and Teller’s Bullshit season 7 has an episode of violent video games. You should check it out.
-If I could breakdance,I would do it all the time.
-I wonder how many gay porns have you have used the buddy cop premise as a plot.
-It sure would be neat if a Gamestop would get a copy of Shadow Hearts that had the original case and manual.
-If you haven’t yet, pick up Udon’s Mega Man: Official Complete Works book. It’s worth owning for a Mega Man fan.
Hope everyone's having a happy Monday.
Also, "Who dat," is a jazz term basically giving whoever you're looking at in the band the go to for some crazy improv shit.
Music things! I know them!
Also, I've found the most popular gay porn plots are (A) the two bicyrious boys at summer camp/school/home/public restroom and (B) the single father who seduces the boy who doesn' know what the fuck is going on but he likes it. I dunno how many buddy cop premises there are. I think the whole slutty cop thing has become overplayed after the 90s. So many bad Cops parodies. No cop dresses like that.
And lastly you're magic.
Word ... How many times have I left a potential purchase on the shelves because of that. Why do people loose or break their disc cases is beyond me.
Also, it's a pretty tired monday for myself also...I can't think right.
Also, I don't know if you seen the size of the LE but it's pretty huge, like super huge, we already have the game at my store, and I dug around the boxes, and BAM! my huge ass LE was sitting there. I will need to make some shelf space for that. Oh, and since we employees take the promotion posters, I am taking one from window display, and that poster is almost as tall as me.
I gave up on Tim Burton around the same time as Danny Elfman. I don't think I could ever forgive him after the music to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. What the hell was he thinking with that rap song?!
And yes, I'm white.
Cashew butter - I am intrigued. Does it come in the chunky version, too?
And yeah, that Penn & Teller episode was pretty interesting. The ending was very poignant, with the kid breaking down into tears after shooting the gun.
Also, damn! I still need to order that Mega Man book! Looks fucking outstanding. Mega Man 10 soon, also! =)
My grandmother used to make a mean beef stew. Very hearty. It made Campbell's Chunky look like dirty mop water. God rest her soul. I miss her...
A slow monday indeed. Can not concentrate on anything today.
@Xyliac: Thanks for dropping the truth bomb on me about jazz and gay porn. I would expect nothing less from you. Also, YOU are the one that's magic, I am merely a ham sandwich given sentience.
@Kraid: That shit bugs me too. How hard is it to keep the game together? It boggles my mind and hurts my nerdy heart as a collector of old, rare video games.
@Elsa and CelicaCrazed: Thanks! My lack of sleep and motivation is your reason to chuckle.
@Bev: Scott Fujita sounds like a Brazilian drag queen porn star's name
@coafi: I haven't seen the physical box but I can imagine the size. I am clearing shelf space in anticipation.
@Stevil: maybe its just getting older but his style is just kinda boring to me. Though Beetlejuice will always be an amazing, wonderful thing in my tiny world.
@Cataract: I too am white and agree that bread bowls are amazing. They just seem to be a very white people sorta food.
@blackdeath1347: Your mom rocks. If she ever makes Tom Yum soup and you have extra, I can teleport there using my teleporting trapper keeper.
@Char Aznable: Also, the guy calls things "money" and describes an item being "off the chain" which are two sayings I fucking loathe. Cashew Butter is sadly only available in the smooth variety but is neat. Saltier and yet sweeter. Almost lighter. Check it out.
@FatherChesz $26 more reasonable? http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-Official-Complete-Works/dp/1897376790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265667766&sr=1-1
@Artemus: While I am not a football fan, I can appreciate what a Saints win means for New Orleans and Louisiana in general. It was indeed nuts. Impromptu parades in the apartment parking lot and lots of free beer.
@Master Snake: Stew is a way of life. It's a moment of pure joy. It's a lightning bolt inside an orgasm. Your grandmother no doubt was a wise woman.
@NateT: I'll bet you a Coke it'll be $20 sooner rather than later
I don't know about the Thai/Vietnamese comparison, but I do know that if you order snake in an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, you pick your own, the kill it and cook it in front of you, and you also mix the blood with a shot of rice wine, put the heart in it, and down it while it is still beating. That was a new experience for me.
Also, a ham sandwich given sentience sounds pretty magical to me. Just saying.
That raptor painting is wicked too!...Why does that lady seem familiar.... :/....
Dude so many people made that mistake! Everyone was like "I want Saints to win but Colt probably will." There were these guys at my Super Bowl party who made a half-time bet. The guy who lost was going crazy. Especially when Peyton threw that interception. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
Great read by the way
