And flip and spin and dosey-do.
Came across this... well, somewhere. I don't remember. One of the blogs I read. Maybe BoingBoing or diepunyhumans.
To be honest, I think you'd be hard pressed to cram more phenomena in there. You have your alternative sex lifestyle, your exhibitionism, your flashmobbing, your internet dating... it's all just a big mishmash. Makes you wonder what'll come next.
Penny Arcade has me off on a tangent.
A rather crazy, silly tangent involving peanuts. Or perhaps pie. Spy pie. Yes... spy pie. See, I was reading about Pandora Tomorrow, and the multiplayer for that game sounds so freaking cool, it's... hm. I can't think of a word to describe the coolness that would describe the 21st-century Spy-vs.-Spy-James-Bond-Tom-Clancy gameplay this seems to encapsulate. Hang on, I need a nugget.
There. I'm going through a "use up the food in my fridge before it takes over" phase, so I dissected some chicken thighs and made my own McNuggets to toss into my spaghetti-and-meatballs tonight, thus making spaghetti-and-nuggetballs. Yeah, it's as silly as it sounds, but tastes pretty good while being easy to make. Anyways, I was trying to invent a word to describe the impression I have of the new Splinter Cell, and I have come up with... not much. Maybe spy + cool + the hungarian word for "mercenary ninja"?
What also perked me was the all the stuff on UT2k4 I've been reading. So much so that I want to try the game. And by try, I obviously mean pirate. Harr.... I figure that the aggregation of "I won't be playing it much anyways", "It's easy to get", and "I have a deflated sense of ethics" form the "I'm gonna get this game now" quotient so needed to mosey on over to Suprnova and grab a torrent. I give my thanks out now to the fine folks at Sympatico who give me the bandwidth to do this. You are also forgiven for my unreliable connection, since that is actually the fault of a shoddily-rigged phone jack that I must kick now to get it to work. Oh well. Combine that with the fact that I might actually be getting my mail again, and the visit from my mom tomorrow, and things are going upwards steadily, despite the best efforts of the taxman.
Yeah, see fencing was cancelled last night because of a Senior's Tax Clinic. So instead of swordfighting, we just headed over to the diner and chatted over some milkshakes and stuff. I learned about a store on Elgin called Sugar Mountain that seems to kick total ass due to the carrying of obscure and trivial merchandise like the men-at-work lunchbox. I will visit sometime.
asdf is your new god
This made my snarfle my club soda so hard I think it came out my ears. The thought of a collapsible mammal just causes glee.
Kickin' drum animation spawned from a contest put on by Rockstar Games.
This is the coolest phone-PDA-gizmo evar. I must have one, and anyone who volunteers to purchase me one will be forever my best friend. At least until the next model comes out.
Shorter post today. Blame the movies and videogames. Everyone else does. ¶ 6:26 p.m.

Dogging combines technology with swinging, cruising and voyeurism. To wit: Crowds big and small watch exhibitionist couples who've met on the Net have sex in cars, and sometimes join in.
