I carry around my cell phone in my left pocket. I have my keys and spare change in my right pocket. My wallet goes in my right back pocket. If any of these thing are missing, I feel off for the whole day, and will constantly get distracted. Even the change. As for non-material things, I carry around...

Alright, time for me to get in on this: "You'll be sorry when I'm a famous clown, and you're just having sex all the time!" -Penny Arcade Tim: "I think this device can help you. It passes huge voltages through your... well, just put it on." Ryan: "Volts are good, right? Our ...

Mich

Sounds sweet, thanks for the heads up. I, too, disagree with the author's take on I Am Sam. In fact, their whole article seems to be pretty pessimistic... but people generally are. I look forward to it!

Edit: stupid italics stuck on the end there...

Mich

Oh my...

That's really all I have to say to that...

lol

Now, you see, the kiiiiiiids... they listen to the rap-muusic. And with the hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin'...

Mich

Oh, it's pretty hilarious, that's for sure. But the guy who gave it to me is pretty much exactly like the hikikomori in the show. Well, maybe less paranoid. That's all. And, well, it's a pretty extreme case, so I'd recommend it. And if you feel sad afterward, there's a confessions thread for that. ;)

Mich

Also, I must be one of the only people who does not like Cowboy Bebop. My ex-roommate didn't like it, but he's my ex, aha. Also, in that case, you may not like Samurai Champloo. I liked it a lot, but it's by the guy who did Bebop, and I liked Bebop. Let's see. List. Watched/Up to Date (various stor...

However, that doesn't mean give up all hope, old chum. Well, maybe it does for anon, but not for me! I say that it's good things are looking up, you just need to stay weary, and not let your own guard all the way down. And maybe try to figure out (through her) why the past few days have gone better,...

Mich

Well, replaced the fan & clutch. Still doesn't get any resistance after the car is warmed up, and still gets way too hot. Probably just going to send it to a mechanic.

And the oil's okay, but thanks for the thought, Brain.

Mich

In short, my car (a '92 Subaru Loyale) is overheating. In long (while trying to stay as short as possible): I was driving home from college, a 6-hour drive. One hour into it, I couldn't get above 40 mph. I realized that it was overheating horribly. Three hours later, I had somehow reached a friend w...

Mich

Confession: I'm about to move (read: become roommates with) the boyfriend of my best friend. At first I thought it would be cool, because, well, that would mean hanging out with her a lot more than we already are, because then there would be two reasons for her to come by. But now I'm realizing that...

Mich

I'm a little scared. I think I really thought "epic lawls" in my head. And to a thread on a certain *chan.

Don't cry for me.... Internet.

It was really funny, though.

I confess that I understand your fear.

Mich

Well, it appears that Fresco shall be gone for forever, if not for... well, a really long time. So I might as well get used to P-Web again. For all of you who don't know (and that's, like, all but one person), I'm Jeff. Um... I've been a Fresco-er since, like, 2000? Something like that. Whew. That's...

Mich

You, erm, like Toyotas, then?

I change my background every couple weeks or so... just browse through my pictures and pick out one that matches the mood.

Mich

Hmm. Well, the trailer makes it look well done, but that's what trailers are for. Personally, I've always liked the trilogy, despite all of the misgivings (others have) concerning its muddled message about religion (I myself am a cradle Catholic). And the trailer itself pretty much states that it wa...

Mich

Hey, man, I haven't said anything up until now, 'cause of lack of advice to contribute, but I'm glad to see that things seem to be moving in the right direction, and hope that they do, indeed. Good luck. We're pullin' for you and whatnot.

Mich

I thought it was more of the same, too. And then I watched the gameplay videos.

I believe I said "Wow. They better not do something before this comes out that completely screws it up." Of course, all it pretty much shows is Protoss. But still.

There appears to be a black hole weapon.

Mich

Saw the news this morning. Pretty stoked, I gotta say.

But I hear that they'll only release StarCraft 2 after Ghost comes out!

...

That's a... I'm joking.

Mich

Oh, we all know you go there just to listen to the barber-shop gossip.

Mich

Okay, okay, here's another one:

When people talk out loud about their problems, and then, when you ask about them (because you know they want you to), they avoid the topic.

*subtracts five from twelve*

Hey!

Or are you counting Dirge of Cerberus? But then, still, I liked VIII...

Mich

Of additional note, FrescoPix is also down. Not that anyone cares. Pretty just me and Rayne and couple other newbs over there, now.

Mich

Locke, you've always been such an optimist :). But, as I said, bitter-sweet, just more bitter than sweet. Yes, there are many, many cons to a turnaround, but there are also pros: maybe a company that Card trusts will pick it up, or some millionaire with a flair for science fiction novels and an odd ...

Mich

Neo, you always bring such bitter-sweet news.

I personally like the end of the IGN article:

Look to IGN for more news on the Ender's Game movie down the line!

Ha!

Mich

Fix it! FIX IT!

Mich

Honestly. I found this more convincing than I found Ender's Puppy.

But I'm not saying that I fell for this. It's just depressing because it serves as a reminder: "Holy crap, there's been no real news about this movie for about two years now."

Mich

April Fools Day is a depressing day around here.

Edit: and by here, I mean P-Web.

Mich

Again, I disparage myself by bringing up Gatsby's American Dream. Their albums tend to be focused on a specific subject with a whole bunch of pop culture references thrown in, but "Giant's Drink" off of Volcano seems to be pretty much about EG: "I just see a little baby boy Who won't ...

Mich

And be bad.

Many would disagree with me, but I don't see the point in watching a movie that is exactly like the book. I can do that at any time... in my head.

Then again, I might just be feeling like that, right now, at this moment.

Mich

I don't know, he kind of plays... "goofy" characters, am I incorrect? I don't think Graff is goofy. Graff is hard. Graff is cold. Graff is a giant a******. But, deep down, he loves his kids. Not quite goofy.

Mich

Data as Graff.

Well... that's an interesting idea. I really don't know what to say.

Mich

I agree it should be left in, as it has an important impact on Ender's psyche, as well as being final proof that he is "the one," which is another important aspect of observation of Ender: they love him because, not in spite, of the fact that he kills other kids. However. As you've already...

Mich

But, really, you could put forth a reason you think they're bad actors. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you; I believe there is a large amount of overacting in the movies. I enjoy them nonetheless, but I was inclined to agree with you on some parts. However. Just stating that they are "com...

Mich

Good thing people can say their opinions without any easily understandable reasoning to back them up, or the Internet would be a very boring place.

Mich

Regardless, I had this exact same discussion with a bunch of my friends the other day. The ones that weren't aware Ender's Game was being made into a movie. It basically went like this: "Hey, Halo just got pretty much cancelled, I guess." "Really? I suppose Ender's Game stands a chanc...
