Mr. Tact

One week until xmas and I don't have either of the games I was hoping to waste my holiday free time on -- TL2 and D3. Since I finally dropped the WoW habit it leaves me with too much time on my hands. Oh well, been working on my sodoku advanced strategies recently, guess I'll keep that up.




Truth is brutal. Prepare for pain.

here come the bastards
bury your head deep in the sand
anonymity is a virtue in this day and age
amazing hand dexterity
flagrant misuse of security
better run, run, run, run, run
run, run, run, run
here they come




Go forth, and kill!

what if christmas didnt come this year? who would cry the biggest tear? the child, or the store?

Well, considering we can't even be spared from serial consumerism for one friggin' day out of the year (how many stores are going to be open Xmas day???), I'd say the stores.

Well we've got a million theaters here and only one is showing Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy which is just sad. I'm going to see if I can catch it later on.

No bloody chance of that happening here. I was pretty psyched for Dangerous Method (hyuk hyuk), but do they get it? Noooooooooooo. Because everybody needs to see Jack & Jill.

Oh hey I can always pirate the movie because I obviously don't want to pay for it.

WOOHOOOo!

Packers lose.
Colts win.

Reverse weekend!

Didn't the Packers pull their best player to keep him in good shape for the Super Bowl? Perfect season wouldn't mean squat if he got injured and cost them the title.

I have no idea what happened seeing as they didn't televise the game here, grr!

Hmm, that "programmers work at night" link was pretty interesting, as that's almost exactly what I do. Nice to finally see a good explanation for it.

Before even reading, I assumed one of the items was "no distractions" which is why I like working nights and having my "days off" when I work nights. Get a ton done and the phone isn't ringing and people aren't stopping by.

You would be amazed at how efficient tasks are in the middle of the night. I love going to the grocery store in 4am. Everything is stocked and no one is in your way. Also takes about half the time.

Not sure about this weekend, but last weekend was still "limited release". I was psyched too, only to find it playing in like 5 theaters at the time.

The two cineplexes in this stupid fucking town always show the same movies, and those two are so fucking worthless they aren't even showing MI4, an action movie... starring Tom Cruise... with a 95% on RT. At least I can still go see Happy Feet 2 and Tower Heist!
