Random thoughts and questions

Exactly ! Thanks Bryce ! And Hanzii, sorry if I came across as a bit harsh - it is one of my many failings.

I like swords.

Yes, he did. At first. He didn't mean that and explained at length and in detail - just like my first off the cuff remark about my wife wasn't in any way to be read as the ultimate and only way to cook all pastas. So perhaps I wasn't the first to assume stuff. But I'm happy we all agree, even though some could do with agreeing in less condescending ways.

So, pasta. Best cooked with water, eh?

I've never had freshly made pasta :-(

STOP MAKING ME HUNGRY YOU NERDS

It's just eggs and flour - go make some.
(please don't start arguing that there's different variants and different recipes - I know there is)

Snark aside, it's easy to make... it's the rolling and cutting that can be rather time consuming.

Don't make me start a pasta thread! Mmm, pasta thread...

Here's a random question: I have $8.81 in my iTunes account. What should I do with it?

Buy Vanessa Mae songs.

Buy a Vienna Teng album. Or all four, that's good too.

Do not do either of those things.

Am I the only person who watches the new COD:Black Ops II ad and only recognizes maybe half of the celebs in it?

Fucking super glue, man. I should not be allowed to use it anymore, because I always manage to get it all over my hands.

Donate it to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy victims.

Raaar, I went to a restaurant after watching Skyfall, and we sat at a table for 15 minutes without so much as a person asking if we wanted a water.

So, off to another one!

Obama's America.

Harper's Canada.

Every Sunday I go to the nearby mall's food court to Garden Pho for a hot bowl of awesome and nearby there is a Cinnabon. I hate that Cinnabon because everything on the menu would fit perfectly and lovingly into my mouth. There is nothing, repeat nothing, on their menu that I would not eat with a smile on my face. Every. Single. Menu. Item. Even the drinks and smoothies and blended drinks whatever menu. Put it in my mouth. The food, and the menu. I would eat it. Also the employees. They would be delicious covered in Cinnabon foodstuffs.

That place is Satan. Delicious, delicious Satan.

GO HOME SHIFT6 YOU ARE DRUNK.

The real question is: how often is he NOT drunk?

Answer: too often.

Cinnabon is just sugary crisco smeared over sugary lard-suspended flour.

god, now I want some.

Right now I'm eating a pesto spaghetti and drinking a delicious Niagara Muscat.

Oh, we aren't talking about pasta and wine anymore. Nevermind.

You probably don't want to know this, but Burger King is now carrying some Cinnabon stuff.

The Opry Mills Mall, which is located near our office, is about to get a Cinnabon again. A Cinnabon is one of those things you enjoy while you're eating it but regret soon after, when the sugar crash hits and you're in the fetal position in your office.

There were celebs other than RDJ in the jet?

If you follow hockey at all, for some inexplicable reason Ilya Bryzgalov is in it (he is the "surprise, horse lady" guy,) but to most people he's just some random guy with a Russian accent.

This is when the phrase "POUR IT ON MY FACE" comes in handy.

I found an article about the ad, which was apparently directed by Guy Ritchie. Sounds lke several of the celebs were chosen because of their popularity outside the US as apparently almost half the sales of COD games come from outside the US. So with Bryzgalov, among others, they are catering to that market.

I think that's a sex thing.

Let the likes commence.

This is the first post quoting a post from Elyscape's new apartment.

I like swords.

I've seen some odd Elance.com listings but this one tops them.

As someone who greatly enjoyed a statistics class and considered majoring in it:

*facepalm*

Nope. That was FPS Russia.

The thermal coupling in our heater is slowly dying. This means the heat stops working randomly and I wake up in the morning to 45°F in the living room. Booo.

ETA: YES THE HEAT IS BACK ON NOW

Try rerouting it through the phase inverter or, barring that, firing a tachyon pulse through the plasma relay.

Was walking through JCPenney yesterday, and I noticed that the person behind one of the shopping counters was obviously born a man.

Now, I'm very much not the person to stare. If I knew this person, I'd shake her hand and tell her that I support her. But, I don't know her, so I feel guilty about glancing back and looking again -- and again.

Really? No one did it yet?

Fine.

Not even remotely safe for work (language).
