I'm here

watching football. deciding on dinner.

watching hockey and warriors

and surprise Curry rolled his ankle again, such a delicate flower he is

Basketball's Rich Harden?
hi hi hi
sup
how goes 'blanket?
not bad , you
good good

about to drink and dance again tonight AND I WON’T HAVE TO DRIVE THIS TIME!

ahem. I’m kinda happy about that

Hey Bro.
sup my brown brotha
Nada mucho.

Mucha?

yeah, not much hehehe
Holy crap, Clemson.
I expected high scoring by both teams....

the turnovers, unexpected.

My best friend went there. He must be hella pissed right now.
I'm watching "The Odd Couple."

The TV show. :)

I'm really tired tonight. I think I'll call it quits.

Have a good night!

Hi!
hiya!
How was the Rose Bowl?
I totally missed it, and the parade.
SO.MUCH.FUN.

omg

Yay!

I’m so glad!

how were your holidays?
Quiet, which was fine.

My fam was sick, so they just stood back while I did my thing.

And you?
pretty quiet

my sibs didn’t come down, so it was just me and my mom on christmas day….I went up to see my dad the day before, but other than that, just read a lot, watched a lot of movies, and slept a ton…..

I did that, too

Eebee got sick after Christmas, so I couldn’t go anywhere. New Years Eve was having fried chicken and mac ’n cheese and a Star Trek marathon. Wooo!

So, wow!

I go on vacay and this place goes a little nuts. I’m sorry.

Not that one thing has anything to do with another.

Far from it!

it's December

December = AN drama

I will try to start drama in June for variety
can you wait for July?

that way I can miss it all….

Indeed.
You know what's funny?

How we, as girls, get accused of bringing the drama.

the boys are all over the drama
So much.
but whatevs.

I’m so done.

eh, the drama seems to have reached it's climax

and you know boys, after they peak, they sleep…..

It might be just resting
I'd rather sleep with you.
come on over!

and can y ou bring some hot cocoa? it’s cold….

I KNOW!

I totally would, if I wasn’t so tired.

Marshmallows, too!

For a Ducks/Sharks game this is sure boring
alcohol is mixed

I’m ready to go! woo!

Woo!
Thanks for inspiring my turkey enchiladas!
That I devoured just now...yum.
I just joined FK

So far they are no more accepting than you are. Huh. Big surprise.

then who are?
All I'm trying to say is that the whole blog and internet thing is bullshit.

What makes it special is the people.

i thought everyone was welcome in the lounge.....
I meant AN, in general.

The lounge is different, for sure.

I'm just as invisible on FK as I am on AN,

is what I am trying to say.

I don’t need to be on the internet to reinforce how invisible I am. That is not my real world.

your comments have to be approved the first time you post.
It seemed like they were, and then they were removed.
They were waiting for someone to approve them. Someone did. They are showing there now.
If I take extra benedryl with coffee ice cream, will it keep me awake, or knock me out?

Because I’m seriously considering both right now…..

depends, people react differently to it. Some people get knocked out some people it acts like speed
one benedryl is usually fine

two benedryl knocks me out.

of course, coffee ice cream usually keeps me up.

Hi!
hi MO!
gigs!
how ya doin?
Pretty good!

You?

hanging in there

my skin broke out to something, so I itch a lot, but other than that, doing good……

Ouch.

Get somebody cute to itch it for you…errr something?

alas, no cute single boys in gigsland. :(

besides, I’m trying not to itch it….

Gigs has no menz?

I refuse to believe this.

it is sad but true.

I’ll be back on the prowl soon though, once my medical ailments are solved….

THAT'S the gigs I know.
SKYRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM.
Yeah.... The only video game I ever got into was something with toy soldiers fighting.
This is like that.

If to soldiers fought DRAGONS.

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes
BENEDRYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
NEURO SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

this sounds like we have the makings of a party.

DRUUUUUUUUUGS?
today benedryl. tomorrow the world.
Aloha.
Hola.
MO.
dan.
How's the shin kicking?
It's hard work.

but rewarding. How’s……looking up stats?

It's easy work.

but rewarding. When I’m bored, I mentally add up all of the columns on Fangraphs.

I like to pretend that if I don't read my emails, they don't exist.
So the A's re-signed one of their free agents?.....is that legal?
yep stupidity is allowed
I like Coco and besides it'll be nice to know at least one of the outfielders names.
Yep but they will bat him 1st or 2nd and then I will go into a blind rage
Weeks/Coco = ooof
"Weeks and Coco will be a great 1-2 punch"

needs to be stop being said

"Weeks and Coco will be a great 1-2 punch" Says baseball expert Bed.
Nothing the A's will do anytime soon will drive me to rage.
It's not.

but Billy does what Billy wants.

Nobody else wanted him and we're a charity.
well, I'm going to call it an early night

good night everyone!

Since I read on AN that Beane traded for JJ Redick

I’d really like to see him make a move for Kevin Love next. We need to improve our defensive rebounding and Love would fit the bill.

We need the next Ricky Rubio.
Hmm....good point the A's didn't have good ball movement last year.
Aaaaand we've reached the end of dan's knowledge of basketball.
I used to be a pretty big hoops junkie but life got in the way.

Now it seems baseball is next.

I'd like to see them sign Kevin Bacon

because the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game would be just a little bit easier for me then…..

You should write a fanpost about your desire for Kevin Bacon to join the team.
Dude. BACON. He'd be perfect for AN.
I find it really sad

that I am picking out games for my season tickets by teams I think the A’s can MAYBE possibly win against. Oh, 2012…

Unless you bought a 5-game package, I'm afraid you're gonna have problems.
22
My plan is to miss anywhere from 162 to 162 games.
You're a dedicated man.
Some say dedicated others say complicated I say constipated.
I'm looking forward to watching a horrible team

my fear is they luck into like 75 wins

Exactly.

I want Diekroger.

Diekroger?......didn't John McClain kill him in Die Hard 2?
If he went to any other school but Stanford I would be really excited for him

I fear the Stanford swing

Yeah, but he was a huge huge prospect even out of high school.

Second round pick. Stanford can’t have screwed him up that badly, can they?

Have fun

maybe you’ll get lucky and the A’s will bring in Tebow to play the outfield with JJ Redick.

Is it bad that I actually look forward to the games when

nobody shows up? Those are the most fun…

I like a full crowd

it’s only happened a hand full of times for me at A’s games in Oakland however.

I always love that

because the energy is amazing but..I don’t mind the other side of it.

I was there for a Blue Jays day game in the middle of the week

once where by the 5th inning there were maybe 1500 people there.

Yeah, good luck with that.
So it seems the new AN trend is no paragraphs on the fanposts.

I’m not part of the grammar police but it does make it hard to read the posts.

You missed it when it was in big font and bold.
I miss all the good stuff.
So. The really bad doctor got fired. For real this time.

I was reading a review from a pt in 2009. It said, “he’s an ass hole and needs to go back to his daddy in hell.”

PS- I. Win. Motherfucker. Eat. Me.

I apparently missed a really good story.
It turns out the whole time Mrs. Bates was dead and Norman was the killer.
SPOILER ALERT
I like to come to AN to spoil 50 year old movie plots.
Turns out he was actually his father.

Also, it was Fredo.

The hobbit?
Gandalf is Bilbo's biological father, yes.
and Bruce Willis was dead the whole time
I love that movie.
I think that means you're a psycho.
Probably.
Me too....great movie.
Definitely one of Hitchcock's best.
Still creeps me out, everytime.
I clearly need to be more explicit in my doctor reviews....
OH MOTHER OF GOD.

I just found out Really Bad Doctor loves to review things on Amazon. And he likes CCR.

Does he have a brother named Steven Resnick?
I don't know what that means.
I think only Dan will and cup if he shows up
Giiiirl, you stalkin'?
Fuck yes. I'm getting dirt in case he does come back.

So far, I hate him even more. He didn’t give the new Batman good reviews.

wha
He gave Ladder 49 a better review.

I am stunnded right now.

lololololololol
Ladder 49....was that the Travola movie about firemen?
Yes.
I know I saw it but I don't remember a thing about it.
He's a big fan.
I'm sure Scientology appreciates it.
That, and Battlefield Earth.
That's 2 hours of my life I can never get back.
You actually saw it?
Yep....me and about 17 other people

awful movie.

Good kind of awful? Like a Syfy original movie?

Or bad kind?

No....bad...really, really bad kind of awful.
WHAT.
And he purchased the complete first season of the OC.

But he thinks the third season is “nosediving”.

I never watched that
" It nosedived in the third season" Says baseball expert Bed.
...I want him off my planet.
I feel that way about John Elway.
If Kayne West read the review he gave his CD,

he might take care of that for you.

Do people actually read Amazon reviews?
Yes, all the time.
Jennifer and I do at times
But not together.
Just when they are from people I am stalking.
If I was stalking someone I might then.

Watch out John Elway I’m going to use your positive review of Ishtar against you.

To the twittermobile!
I don't want to say I'm an idiot but I know Hayden Fox's record with the Orlando Breakers off the top of my head.

I don’t however remember most of what I learned in college.

Orlando Breakers?

Er…field hockey? Arena football?

Nope...fictional NFL football on the TV show Coach
Show a preview at e3 2012 please
On December 27th, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office granted a patent to Microsoft for a device that would serve as both a game console and a digital video recorder. Patent # 8,083,593 gets described thusly:
E3?....is Barton playing first again?.....sorry MO
Don't start that.
Sorry but it was just sitting there ready to be said.
Weird.

So they’re throwing a TV tuner in an Xbox?

sorta

http://kotaku.com/5872787

The more I think about it, the more I like it.

Basically combining the DVR and the media center PC into a single box.

My Xbox is currently a paper weight until March 6th.

Oh by the way I’ll be away from AN for all of March saving the universe.

What we got here is the eternal flame. The Bangles, biatch, circa '87
I wish it was Sunday....that's my fun day
So what movie are you most excited to see in 2012?
Cabin in the Woods, The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers

Red State too if it comes out

Red State?....the Kevin Smith movie?
yes
That movie is already on video
no shit, must buy now
this shows that I totally need to catch up on like a years worth of his podcasts
I was a big Smith fan for years

but I’ve only seen 1 out of his last 3 movies and I didn’t care for it. He has about 37 podcasts now so yeah you have a lot to catch up on.

Just Smodcast with Mosier, I don't listen to the others
I listened to Smodcast for a couple of years.
I rented it about a month ago I think.....forgot to watch it.
Dark Knight Rises?

The Hobbit? Brave?

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.

And The Avengers.

And The Dark Knight Rises.

And Brave.

And Snow White & the Huntsman.

I’mma be poor.

And The Hobbit.
Forgot about Thor and Bella in the wood
Wherever Chris Hemsworth is, that's where my ovaries will be.
Ernest Borgnine can have my ovaries whenever he wants them.
I was just looking at the list of 2012 movies....nothing stands out for me

but I’ve enjoyed the last two Batman movies and I’d like to see how it ends….we need more westerns as long as the don’t star Harrison Ford and bad CGI aliens.

Batman is like a western.

Only, y’know, hella better.

I'll take a good western over a comic book movie anyday of the week.

But as I said I’ve enjoyed the Nolan Batman films but I like all his films.

OH SHIT.

I just found

1) his home address
2) why he can’t practice in Ohio or Arizona
3) his driving record

stalking pro
He has a swimming pool.
WTF......Jen maybe you should be a PI

all you need is a Tigers hat and a Ferrari.

I'm too fat for a Ferrari.
Hmm....Simon and Simon had a truck....would that work?
I need to hire you.
He has an unusual name. He was an easy find.
Let me guess......Mike Smith
It's nice to come to a mellow AN.

Reading about who Jennifer is stalking or Hitchcock movies is what I come to this site for.

So Cope....favorite Kevin Smith movie?
Easy.
Easy like Sunday morning?
Dogma probably
Clerks 2 for me

Dogma is in the hunt though.

Don't look at his wee-wee
I'll get around to Red State but I think I'll never see Cop Out.

I’ve never heard anyone say it’s any good.

It's not really
It might be the only Bruce Willis movie I've never seen also.

So it’s a special film for me in a way.

Good choice.
Onion voodoo dolls! genius
When I heard about the guy in Canada decapitating someone on the bus,

I thought about Dogma.

Best comic book movie ever?
Watchmen
I saw that....long...liked parts of it.
Ooof.

Sooooo preachy.

I dun care Carla Gugino
I mean, there were good parts.

Great parts, even. But then there were parts that absolutely sucked out loud. Weird movie like that.

Now AN has ads for psychic readings....what's next ads for bail bonds and porn?
Bad Boys Bail Bonds
Ask the psychic, they'll know.
Sometimes I internet stalk myself, just to see what I can find.
Check me out...my full name is Leopold Bloom.....am I still wanted in Florida?
I don't give 100% though
that's okay when googling youself, for other though the full 100% is appreciated
I regularly check myself out, just to make sure there's nothing that I don't want....

plus, you know, to see what my students are saying about me. (sigh they say nothing….)

Please remember to remember those who remember the Alamo.
I'd say goodbye but I don't think anyone is here so instead I'll say Fuddruckers.
let me guess

no one left to talk to my drunk ass?

the title broke my brain
Interesting
A 36-year-old woman was charged Wednesday after punching, scratching and sliding her buttocks against a painting worth more than $30 million, authorities in Colorado said.

day lounge?
yay!
hiya!
so cocktails went well with the girlie y'day. whew. i was scared for a moment the other day.
thanks for your womanly perspective
good to hear

I hope things continue to go well with you both

pizza in the oven!

yay!!!

what kind
I kinda threw a bunch of stuff on from the fridge

tomatoes, mushrooms, goat cheese, olive oil, other cheeses, more goat cheese…..

needs meat
i don't eat much meat

but i did add a few ibruprofens with it

WooHoo!

Thomas NAILED math class today! The correct answers were just rolling off his tongue. His teacher and I were STOKED! Thomas had a grin from ear to ear.

good work, teach [throws a shiny red apple to tutu]
hello
yay! hello!
happy (belated, i think) birthday!!!
yes, it was yesterday. thanks
love you capricorn boys.
we rulez the world. muahahaha
i would not go that far! ;)
that's what the capricorn archetype says. it must therefore be true
there is a lot more to take into account than just your Sun sign. ;)
but we are stubborn and capricious
that totally doesn't sound like me
totally sounds like me
hmm...i'm pretty flexible and open-minded. i'm also a muller and inveterate planner.
I'm open minded to the point that once I finally make it up

it is hard to change it again.

that sounds like me
hiya!
hi gigs, how are you feeling???
there's a hole in my head

but so far, pretty good. and it looks like they didn’t have to cut as much out as they did last time, so that’s good.

i hope this was the last time. glad you are doing okay so far. *hugs*
yup, this is the last one.

hopefully they don’t come back, but this should be it for a while.

GOOD! i hope you are at least taking tomorrow off from work, too!
yup yup

and planning to nap for the afternoon today…. :)

this makes me happy. :)
Argh
A new deal between Time Warner’s movie studio and Netflix, Redbox and Blockbuster will double the "window" for new releases. That means the services will now have to wait 56 days after the discs first go on sale to offer them to their customers, instead of 28 days.
Okay, naptime.

be back later…..

rest well! ♥
Did I miss the fun?
no.
Hurray! Well I'm pantless in anticipation of the fun.
ha. i'm wearing pj's.
That works for me. ;-)

Just got back from a semi-spontaneous ‘goodbye’ evening. T’was sweet.

awww. are you sad?
A little.

I’m eager to start now actually – the sooner I start the sooner I can add the job to my CV and move back home! The distance is the only thing that bothers me – going to be difficult to see my friends and family.

So tell me more about these pjs. =P

they are quite boring, which is good because i am putting away the holiday tree in the front window.
I can't imagine you in pjs is boring. ;-)

So I have to ask – do you work from home? Or not work at all? Or work odd hours?

i do work from home. i was supposed to receive a new project today, but it's not arriving until tomorrow.

right in time for my bff’s visit. :(

That explains you being in your pjs at 4pm.

Is this the visit that’s going to last all week? Or did I read that wrong? Is the bff coming from a long way away?

he's coming from nyc, for 10 days. i'm hoping i can get the majority of work done tomorrow and on saturday.

he gets in on saturday night. :)

(and yeah, when i don’t leave the house or have to see anyone, i am usually wearing pj’s or, as i like to call it, loungewear.)

Sorry, I fell asleep. =(

Good luck with your project – I’m sure you’ll find plenty of time to spend with your bff.

The salad streak ends! Huzzah!
what did you have?

also, i think you passed it on to me. i’m making big salads for dinner tonight.

I took a nap. And had a dream.

In my dream, I got a new bathtub. Everytime I drained the tub, more water flowed in to it. And it was blue water. And I couldn’t get it to only drain. So it was overflowing. So I kept trying to figure it out, but water kept pouring out of the spout. So much water. So so much water….

I woke up and had to pee.

The Warriors press release on Curry's ankle is basically

he had surgery it was fixed, his ankle keeps getting sprained and we don’t know why. Sounds like the A’s medical staff

Who has more lives Norv Turner or Geoff Petrie?

My guess is Petrie has pictures of one of the Maloof’s burying a dead hooker in Vegas.

Turner needs to go 14-2 to be fired
That's the Charger way.
Wow
TSNBobMcKenzie
SWE and RUS tied 0-0 after 40 minutes. SWE outshooting RUS 39-4. Never seen a RUS team generate less offence. But it’s all even.
39-4?

Wow. Sweden won, right?

SOME goalie there!
Yeah in OT on a breakaway
Wow, that Russian goalie must be ridiculous.

Not to mention pissed. Seriously, you turn in a performance like that and your guys couldn’t find the back of the net just once?

58 saves to like around 20 you are bound to lose
I'd be pissed as hell if I were that goalie.

Your guys not only couldn’t score, but apparently they can’t play any defense either.

So that crazy Plan A's guy is still making videos
Does his plan involve invading Poland?
Yep. He just bought 10,000 septic tanks. He's just gotta learn how to drive them.
This made me laugh more than it should have.
Seriously. It was pretty weak.
Folks.....slow down....when there's 5 posts an hour it's hard to keep up.
I can't wait to see how lively the blog is next off-season after the A's lose 119 games and start trading for infants.
119 I wish, I'm still scared they win 75 or so
if you position yourself correctly....maybe your child will be high draft choice. Mine is too old already
I'd like to think my kid could do better than the A's.
That's not necessarily saying much.
This is true.

Honest question why would any kid today decide to become an A’s fan?

Other than being from the area or really liking the color scheme, I don't know.

Of course, I became an A’s fan during one of their ugly spells. I just liked Dwayne Murphy.

Of course one of the things I notice is none of my students are even into baseball

NFL and college football are number one followed by hoops and MMA before baseball.

how close are you to a team??
KC is 3 hours away but most baseball fans here like the Cardinals

but none of my friends kids in Sacramento or KC are into baseball either but they all love football.

Well, isn't football the most popular sport in America?

And I think NASCAR took over 2nd place a few years ago, but I think it’s dying down now.

NASCAR is a distant 4th at best

Football is king by far.

Maybe now.

But 10 years ago or so, it was HUGE.

NASCAR tried to stretch their market

and it didn’t work….it’s mostly a southern sport.

They've also made some rule changes that sucked the fun out of the sport.

And it’s moved too far from it’s roots.

Should be no worse then 2 atm
But there are no major league teams in your area.

I’m sure baseball is more popular where MLB teams play.

I think in 30 years baseball will be a real niche sport unless it speeds up the game
That may be.

Seventy years ago, the big 3 sports in America were baseball, boxing, and horse racing. Societal tastes change.

Yep...things change.
In 2042, I think the big three will be...

Halo on the XBox, COD on the Playstation, and Angry Birds on the iPhone 86.

Hmm....I'll be 68 so I'll mostly be gumming my oatmeal.
I'll be 66, so I'll mostly be making bad jokes in the Lounge.
By then it'll only be you, me and Cope left in the lounge.
Naw, Witch will never abandon us.
I'll still be here too

I’ll be 65, so not old enough to retire yet, which means daylounging for me

I can't even imagine what life will be like in 2042.
Two words: flying cars.
One would hope.
I've heard that lie before
Two more words: internet porn.
At this rate we won't even have high-speed rail by then
Two more words: Amtrak subsidies.
I'll be dead, I imagine

But perhaps by then there’ll be Wi-Fi from the Great Beyond. Steve is probably working on it now.

And technology changes

Militaries were still using horses in WWII. This may have a lot to do with horse racing’s popularity.

TX? ST Louis? KC?
Did you guys all go out for pie again or have you moved on to kraut?
also I'm over at FTF for the Sharks game
I guess I need to find a second blog too.
watching the sharks game online
pie!
pie?
shoulda known that would wake you up!
nope....no plam to do so,
This is a test of the emergency lounge broadcast....this is only a test......

if there was an actual Bob Geren attack the emergency lounge broadcast would warn all of AN and provide locations for shelter….again this was only a test……

so where's the pics, Dad?
Yeah!
says the photographer
My lens isn't long enough to photograph kids in Our Kansas, though.
Sorry, I meant Arkin Saw.
I'm working on it.
Knock knock.
Who's there?

Gunga Din.

Gunga Din who?

Open the door, I Gunga Din!

Feel better?
Yes.

You people let me down.

That's why I don't rely on responses to my awful jokes.
What? That's a GREAT joke!

Hell, I got it from “Mr. Belvedere.”

All my bad jokes are my own.

All my good jokes I stole from bad 80’s TV shows.

Facts of Life FTW!
All right then

What’s purple and goes slam, slam, slam, slam?

I dunno, what?
A four-door grape.

That’s from the (in retrospect, rather strange) kid’s show of my Minnesota childhood, Lunch With Casey.

I'll try that on my friend's 10 year old.
Nikon announced the D4 today.

I’m sure none of you care, but I damn near creamed my jeans.

Feel better?
Not till I get 2 or 3 of them.
good evening lounge!
Good evening gigs, good evening lounge!

I was about to go to bed….but then I stopped being sleepy. So I’ll stay for a bit.

Hola, Gigs!
hiya ozzie!
What's shakin'?
I had another cyst taken out of my head today

so I’ve been sleeping most of the afternoon.

Did you have serious anesthetics?
it was all done under a local, so i was awake the whole time

but I have been taking a lot of pain killers so far….

The local is probably easier to recover from, I suppose

but painkillers can be groggifying. Ugh.

fortunately I don't go back to work until Monday, so that's good

although I can’t shower until Saturday, so that sucks.

If you need a ride somewhere on Saturday evening let me know!
will do

I think I’ll be good to drive by tomorrow, and certainly by the weekend I should be good….it’s just a question of if I have a splitting headache still…..

showers are overrated
boys.....
and girls with holes in their noggin
I heard there was talk of a general surgery.
How are you feeling?
my head hurts like crazy right now

but otherwise feeling okay.

I hope you feel better soon.
thanks

I should be feeling better in a few days, and really I’m enjoying the time off work right now…..

Time off from work is always a good thing.
this is very true

especially since students don’t come back in force until the 17th

You should protect your head from bumps with one of those badass Oregon helmets from the Rose Bowl.
that would be AWESOME
omg poutine with bacon WANT NAO

I'll fightcha for it.
That looks like a heart attack on a plate.
I actually don't even eat bacon anymore

gotta stay healthy these days….I plan to eat all the bad food I can find when I retire and everyone is taken care of.

What a good dad
Well, so far I haven't dropped her yet like my dad did with me.....this might explain why I am the way I am.
After looking at this weekend's NFL games I think I'll be taking a football break for a week.

Might take Miss Hawaii out on Saturday and have Grandpa watch the girl.

date night is always a good thing
Ooh, great idea!

Where are you taking her? Is she cool with going out in this weather? What’s the weather like there?

It's been in the mid 60's here.....the main thing is she hasn't wanted to be away from her baby yet

but I think she’s ready for a break.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
I'm close to having his hair....or his lack of hair I guess.
So that makes Miss Hawaii the little red-haired girl.
I'll admit I'm not as up on Peanuts characters as I should be.
Damn you.
I love the Christmas and Halloween specials though
go somewhere not too far for dinner

after dinner, see if she feels up for walking for ice cream or dessert or something. and after that, see if she’s up for a bookstore….basically, small stops that can be added along the way if she still feel’s okay being out, but can easily be scrapped if she wants to go home….

I was thinking dinner at her favorite Chinese place and then maybe listen to some music downtown.
When my parents went out for a concert for the first time after my oldest sister was born

they took the baby along and left her in the cloakroom with the coat check attendant.

I can't see how anything bad could happen.
I'm sure my dad gave the coat check girl a good tip
{{slips in to see who's lounging around}}
Nobody in particular
This is true in a couple of ways now.
I resemble that remark.
Started watching Portlandia last night, I really like it so far
Is that a show about cloudy days and Bill Walton?
It sounds good. I heard the principals on Fresh Air today, or yesterday, I'm not quite sure...
I hear good things about that show

is it on netflix?

I'm having trouble staying awake.

Which is probably my body’s way of telling me not to stay awake. Nighty night, y’all!

Bye, sirozz
{{has cable TV in his room now, thx to the thoroughly awesome wacchampions & TFR}}
It's nice being able to watch TV in bed.
definitely

I watch lots of Prime 9 on MLB Network.

I have the MLB network but I haven't watched it much.
I lof it

I watch almost nothing else but that, movies and Current TV.

I don't think I get Current TV.

We’ve been watching a lot of DVD’s.

it's like Air America radio on TV, sort of

I watch it and think I could do as well as Keith Olbermann and better than Cenk Uygur…. they need to gimme my own show immediately.

I'm sure Olbermann will burn all his bridges there so maybe you can take over for him.

I can’t say I have a clue who Cenk Uygur is.

Cenk Uygur

is this loudmouth windbag guy who hosts this “Young Turks” show that like Olbermann got booted off MSNBC. He has a studio full of hipster-looking geeks that he almost never addresses or talks to, yet sit there on set staring at laptops intently like they are the secret undercover geek force of the universe. It’s often painful to watch, and I agree with 99% of his opinions.

I used to watch a lot of the political shows

but I dropped out a few years ago and this election season is so boring I see no reason to jump back in…..it’s so obvious it’s going to be Obama vs Romney and that’s been the case for about 2 years now.

yeah, probably

I like the new spelling of Mitt’s name:

Rmoney.

The general election should be good and nasty

but it won’t be boring like the primary has been.

I've decided to vote for Jed Bartlet in 2012
I subscribe to his Twitter feed
YES

I need to get signs up in my windows

I always wished there was another subplot of Sam running for congress
Most shows I don't miss when they leave but I do miss that show.
I would LOVE a spinoff, as long as Aaron Sorkin does it
He has that new show on HBO about a news show....I predict lots of walking and talking.
I'll put one on my front lawn
I'm out. Lounge well, until next time!
See you around, EM.
Raiders to hire Reggie McKenzie as GM......glad to hear it.

Now let him decide on the coaching staff.

Fire 'em all
I'd lean to bringing Jackson back unless they think he lost the team when he threw them all under the bus.

He needs to learn when to zip it in front of the press.

Okay, second nap time for me

(or is it my third nap?)

eh, either way, good night y’all! I’ll probably be daylounging tomorrow. :)

Is this going to be one of those lounge threads where we all end up saying goodnight 3 times because it stays up for days?
This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.
Oh...so this is what happens when you do that.
Yup.
I'll keep this in mind.
Is it just you and me, Bed?
MIght be....Cope could be lurking ready to strike
Music for you:

Santigold – Hometown Glory — This is an older Adele song that Santigold covers.

Lera Lynn – Wolf Like Me — A cover of TV on the Radio

Bon Iver – I Can’t Make You Love Me / Nick of Time — Cover, obviously.

Thanks for the links, Jennifer.....I really liked the Lera Lynn one....first time I've heard her.
I love TV on the Radio

DLZ is the shit.

I'm around dolling out some +Ks
Tonight's lounge was a lot like my sex life back in my younger days....a lot of alone time.
That is like my now days, not so much when I was younger
Fuddruckers Part II : Electric Burgerloo.

It’s time for me to go into the great wide open….like a rebel without a clue.

I'm hungry
I could eat some pizza right now.
i could eat a lot of things right now, settled on pot stickers
and now chocolate milk and cookies
anyone lurking?
Heating up leftover beef stew for lunch.
I'm lurking now

but I’m about to go to the grocery store. Woo hoo!

I ate 5 slices of pizza and I feel like I'm going to pop.
Fuck you, Markarth and your buggy bugginess.

I’mma go get a house in Riften. SO THERE.

lol
I'M SO SAD, COPE.

I gave up about 3 hours of game to try and go back and fix it, but it looks like I’m fucked again. :( I just want my badass house in badassland, but nooooooooooooo, haters gonna hate.

:c

there are a few more know xbox bugs too, hopefully they will get fixed soon

When I was installing it the game downloaded two updates.

These games are so big there’s always going to be some rough spots.

should have got 3, 1.3 is the latest version iirc
Hmm.....I'll plug it into the the modem again then.
I have a couple of friends hip deep into Skyrim....they both say it's buggy but awesome.

I’ve installed the game now so I’m getting closer to starting and since AN is deader than Matthew Modine’s movie career I may soon have a couple free hours to actually play it.

It is so good.

It is the dragons of your soul.

Give in.

What do you play as?
Whatcha mean?
What race...what type of character?
I'm going to guess Brenton Mage.
The PC is much less buggy and at least you can console your way out of most bugs

you encounter

You ever go to the store and spend a couple hundred bucks and then come home and feel like you didn't actually buy anything?
Or, realize you forgot the thing you went to the store to get
Yeah I did that too....still need batteries.
All the time...
Good.... so I'm not alone on this one.
me too
We should start a club.
its called Costco
As long as it's not called Silver & Black Pride I'm in.
I don't think there is a problem with that now
target is a guaranteed 100 trip no matter what I went in there for...... I don't go often.
For us it's Walmart but we go all the time....it's Arkansas...it's the law that you go to Walmart.
thats how it was in OK too
When we were thinking of moving to Tennessee, i started looking at property online.

I got a big laugh at some of the real estate ads, " House is within walking distance to the Walmart", or " Right next door to the Walmart Supercenter"

One of things computers have ruined is handwriting

I can barely read some of the stuff my students turn in.

My handwriting was shit even before computers.
My handwriting is actually pretty good but I worked at it a lot when I was a kid.
My HS English teacher made me print all my work, because my cursive was soo bad.

I now print everything, but my signature

Few even try cursive anymore.
even my printing looks like shit
and they have no clue how to stamp or address an envelope.
Luckily I don't have my students send me anything by mail

I’d most likely just get death threats and bombs.

you'd be amazed how many college students don't know how to write out a check
I can read any handwriting.

Something I’ve learned at work.

Anybody play The Old Republic yet?

I love Bioware games but I’ve just never played an MMO but I am curious if it’s any good.

nope, I am resisting the urge to get back into MMOs
The first Knights of the Old Republic is one of my all time favorite games

but I don’t get the point of MMO’s since they have a story that never ends…..endings are part of what makes movies, books or games interesting to me.

Grading papers, lounging on AN, listening to Full Moon Fever and drinking grape soda.

I’ve had more dangerous Friday nights that’s for sure.

Hullo again

mac and cheese is in the oven, I bumped up my Massive Attack station to my Industrial one cuz its time to clean the kitchen!

Hey there.
Bed!
Baked mac and cheese sounds good

we had pizza tonight so no need to clean the kitchen tonight.

I love pizza
I don't think I've ever known anyone who didn't like pizza.
I like the song Tonight, Tonight but I like the song Tonight, Tonight, Tonight more.
It wasn't that long ago that I had given most of my stuff to my ex and hardly had anything

now we have so much crap I need to buy a second house to put it all in.

Hmm....two papers with the same handwriting making the same points.
uh oh
I'm actually insulted...if you're going to cheat at least be a little smarter about it.
did you google any of it to see if they REALLY cheated??
We have a lot of group papers in school.

We found out a classmate had copied and pasted an entire work and turned in as her “part”. There is a site you can turn your paper into and they will tell you if any part not cited is plagiarized. Of course, you have to pay to use it, but it’s great if someone dumb whore cheats. Because if one cheats, YOU ALL get failed.

the shortcut that kills....and in your case not just the cheater!
The only problem with grading papers while on AN is that I just wrote on a students paper that he needed to use more VORP.
We might be the only house in Arkansas that doesn't have the Cotton Bowl game on.

Hopefully the Hogs will whip up on those evil Wildcats.
