Man I need to get on some more Metroid at some point. I'm trying to get through all my games that need online and co-op crap, but pretty soon on my list is getting into my SNES and on (I have only finished Metroid Zero Mission, NES, and II).

I think hookers, blow, and marching bands are all very good guesses.

His eye is okay though right? Ouch.

No that's the thing, I am not going to list or speak of the job I have now because no one wants to hear how I flaked after three months. And my experience with low paying jobs is they want to start you within the same week almost every time. Unless whatever job I find has a later start date than expected, I am for sure not going to make some kind of compound two job schedule work for two weeks plus work that around school plus work that around the contract job I got going right now. It's already draining enough. Really the contract needs to be first priority as those people need my care the most, but they also don't really require a schedule, just the job done... at some point.

I'd say Bill and Ted, the first and second movie, are on another level where adults can also enjoy the stupidity. Kind of like Weird Science I suppose?

Henroid, that's so messed up! What is the police's reasoning for ignoring the assault on video and refusing to press charges?

From talking to everyone I know personally about it they seem to think I should just up and quit. However, I'm thinking I might not be that drastic and see what I can work out depending on what I can find. Like two weeks is too long but maybe I can last for a week out and transfer some shifts to people who owe me a day and then work whatever I can myself. I'll see. Now to find the job.

So I am going to jump ship from my garbage part time job at Starbucks and try to find another part time job that hopefully pays the same or more (If I do delivery driving I generally will get paid more minus gas according to my math). I've only been at Starbucks for two and a half months however and will be leaving it off my resume and just say I have been doing freelance and I am looking for more stable pay, which isn't a lie, I still have been but Starbucks is seriously has been and even though I only work 24-30 hours, getting up at 4 am multiple days of the week and having a constantly busy hell of a time isn't good for me. I am not on that schedule on my days off so I just feel tired, confused, and zombified when I am supposed to be doing something else, like contract work. That is just not a good sleep schedule and I suppose I thought a coffee shop would be way less stressful than this. However I guess I should note they had me take a job at the busiest (or second busiest) location in Austin. They also alleviated some stress by hiring new people, if they don't call in or quit (which is pretty common) so now I get almost half the money in tips than before, which is a huge bummer. So I don't know. I am really having an issue considering whether I should just put in my two weeks at this shit job and hopefully find a job pronto in the meantime because of the problem of having to explain the two weeks to a potential employer of a job I purposefully left off my resume. My second option is just to just never put in my two weeks and just keep working at Starbucks until I find another job and then just quit Starbucks the same day since I mean, it's fucking Starbucks. Problem there is despite me hating the job, I generally the people I work with, especially the manager so I would feel pretty guilty about that. Which should I chose? Also to consider when I started job searching for low paying jobs like this back in November I got a lot of calls back and a few interviews where the freelance looking for stable part time work really seemed to work out. Plus my previous experience over the years with the part time jobs while I was in school the first time around were that these places always needed a body to fill a position and quickly if they were truly interested really did not have time to work with some kind of two weeks notice. One time I told an employer to give me about two days to decide and I was passed up since they really needed people to take shifts ASAP. The reason I chose Starbucks because of the benefits which I haven't earned yet, but really benefits be damned for all of this stress and toll on my mental and physical health. This also really doesn't help with focusing and getting my work done for my classes.

I wanted to kiss a much older woman on the mouth like that, Good ol' inappropriate Blank Check.

I'm not going to read that interview, it seems like a long waste of my life for a game I didn't back and wasn't invested in, but couldn't Molyneux just have not done the interview? Especially with that first question setting the tone, he could have said it was over.

I typed "Kickstarter thread" and got it first hit. Also just typed "Kickstarter" third hit. To get the Far Cry 2 thread, it's trickier because all of the words are too short. However just use it like Google and type "far cry 2" with the actual quotes this time. For that one go to the advanced search function (the gear button) and do thread titles only, which is also generally in every forum search function. It's pretty standard of every forum and works fine! Are you all just searching "this topic" (the default) every time?

The dumb kids sports movies were always kind of fun for me as a kid even though I've never had an interest in sports. It just made you feel like life would be a good thing as a kid where your dreams would come true based on some kind of dumb luck or event. Sandlot was definitely another favorite. I think all of those movies are stupid now though, hah. I'll still watch Home Alone if it's on. Also I really liked The Cure even though it was about AIDs and super depressing.

I know it was just a bit of fun. No more fun in this thread then, sheesh.

Rookie of the Year probably. Just because of Daniel Stern.

But Tokyo needs that extra syllable for this song:

I think the rolling desks probably keeps interrupting everything so they can't really get any more games done. Most of the hours in the day are spent unplugging monitors and moving equipment which doesn't allow for anything longer form than making a new hat or wizard's staff.

What the shit the theme song! Wow this episode!

Oh man are you guys speaking Japanese?!

So what is Brownback's motivation for that? To just be a jerk? Angry republicans are always whining about how government wastes so much money on services, but they always want to put the precious tax dollars into wasting everyone's time by getting all of these unnecessary discriminatory laws imposed (or anti discrimination laws repealed).

Ahaha, Infowars might as well be. Their printed publications have the some of the dumbest fucking ads made especially for men with paranoia and problems with their masculinity.

Where you moving?

We build robot dogs for the purpose of kicking them. I love being human.

I think that's how most people who have never lived here perceive it, but besides Austin it probably is a bunch of hateful rednecks in places that aren't San Antonio, El Paso, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth, Galveston, Laredo, and almost every town or city near the border. I don't know I don't really stop inbetween cities unless I'm camping. They filmed Hope Floats in Smithville and that was full of shiny and white country shtick, and I don't doubt that is probably exactly how that town was at that date (if not still the same). Their sign advertises the movie! However it's not like the angry South will rise again rednecks aren't pervasive in every city as well, but I think that probably comes with most southern states. But also Austin is majority white in the non aggressive liberal sort of way and seems to have always been like that. Also, I suppose one could leverage the same criticism at Reality Bytes, which I think was a bunch of white college kids wearing plaid. I'm pretty sure there were no people of color and most of it took place within the 610 loop. I don't remember that movie being good at all, even after noting that terrible actor Ethan Hawke is in it. Mr. Hawke wooden acting could also be a big part of why I can't stand Linklater films. Houston is kind of a bizarre place of diversity under the guise of oil barons running the town. I was kind of weirded out that in 2012 it became the most diverse city in the country http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/05/houston-most-diverse_n_1321089.html. I think I have a bad case of missing Houston and my friends there so I'm gonna have all this useless pride, I think in part because everyone in Austin seems to hate Houston (or Dallas).

Cargo?
