Well, perhaps not if you live in ND, I dunno. There's snow on the ground *and* dandelions in the lawn right now. That's a first, at least in my memory. But you don't really notice these things so much until you have to take care of them yourself, I guess. There's rumors of another snowstorm coming this weekend, which is completely nuts. I thought the last 3 snowstorms were too much, particularly the one this past weekend. Oh I know I was just saying how annoying it is when the weather's good enough for people other than me to be outside. I guess I change my mind a lot. :P I suppose all this cold and snow is going to be explained in some twisted way by global "warming"... :-)

In other news I'm obsessed with Viva Pinata. Darrell read somewhere that it's "very, very easy" to get all 1000 achievement points on that game. I don't know what that person who said that was smoking. Perhaps I'm just stupid but it's a hard game. It would be impossible if you didn't read online help. I am a bit too impatient to avoid the online help entirely. Man there are some crazy things you need to do if you want to keep all the different kinds of mean pinatas from attacking your nice pinatas. I know I am spelling pinata wrong, thank you spell checker. Well I sure hope I wasn't meant to be smart enough to figure out all that stuff on my own. Even with online help there's still a lot of difficulties, and a lot of sitting around and waiting. Incidentally this is an example of something very boring that I like to do. I am sure my tc post on the topic of past lives was offensive. I'm just an offensive person I guess.


Two Replies to Weather - the most boring conversational topic?!?

It's been colder late in the spring here too, although that doesn't mean much. Snow in May is just wrong.

Sims 2

So I've been somewhat of a Sims 2 addict lately. But it's so easy. It gets boring when everybody has a perfect life, maxed skills, and reaches their lifetime want. Go »

Another Irritating Thing

The Indian episode isn't the only irritating thing that happened with The Cedars recently. A while before that, Darrell received an e-mail from someone claiming to be from MTV saying they had listened to his songs on the Jones Soda website, liked them, and wanted a CD to consider including in their show. Now this sounds like an obvious fake, but the thing is, some research showed that the person who sent the e-mail does exist and does work at MTV, the e-mail address was verifiable, the phone number led to a seemingly legitimate voice mail, and the address was an actual office at MTV.

Hello

So... I know I've been mostly absent... I saw Amy's comment in RB and I just want to assure her that it is not her fault I quit RB :P. Go »

Londo and Life

I woke up in the mood to write quite a bit but I feel my communication skills have fled me as of late, if indeed I ever had any to begin with. I can only hope someone out there will make some sense out of this. Yesterday was the big day at the convention and it was cool. Go »

Writing frightening verse to a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

The identity of my birthday RB card will be public soon enough, I'm sure, so I figured I'd write a little about it. I won't state its identity outright, in hopes that I can encourage anyone who's not familiar to click the link :P. First, I didn't know a "wimpy" band could wind up ranking quite so high. Go »

I didn't like Brokeback Mountain

I know I'm a number of years too late to be talking about this, but I finally happened to see Brokeback Mountain and I have to say I didn't like it terribly much. Yes, I realize this is an extremely unpopular opinion to the point of being just plain wrong as an objective fact. Note, I do not have a problem with gay people or gay behavior. Go »
