Anyone want to play "how drunk was BL1Y when he posted this in the suggestions thread"? My estimates are 'putting a hot pocket in the microwave, forgetting about it and passing out in front of the computer' drunk.
Re-opening the thread as it's a holiday weekend. It's Family Day up here in parts of Canadia, you know. That's important shit.
And I'm celebrating family day by not seeing my family. And they're celebrating it by going skiing in British Colombia for a week without me. Wonder if I should have told them to wear tight clothes.
Wait, is today legitimately called Family Day up there? Like if I bought a Canadian Calendar, would I see the words "Family Day" on the third Monday in February? Also, when did you get so important that each of your sentences deserve their own paragraph?
I'll read pretty much anything. I read Bitter is the New Black. I don't know the last time a book made me so irrationally angry. I finished the book not out of amusement, or interest, or enlightenment, but only because I absolutely hated the author/protagonist so much that it felt like a rare opportunity to stoke my misplaced sense of scorn. On the plus side, I've got a handy new heuristic: if in your memoir, you describe yourself as "hilarious", I will almost certainly hate you. I've also become fairly convinced that the only reason this book was published is that the author is fat; it allows her to be by turns racist, classist, sexist, narcissistic, crass, and vain while still somehow claiming victim status. The breadth -- pun unintended -- of her hypocrisy is almost painful. Seriously, since when is judgmental narcissism charming? Or something to brag about? http://www.theonion.com/articles/asshole-admits-to-being-asshole-in-supreme-asshole,1172/
I shit you not. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.ecanadanow.com/canada/2011/02/21/family-day-in-canada-what-is-open-and-closed/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.ecanadanow.com/canada/2011/0 ... nd-closed/</a>
She's such a hypocrite. She complains about being judged for being fat, while using it as a marketing ploy. Also she's not that funny. Also she's not a very good writer. Look, we're talking about a person who got their personality from the Preppy Handbook. I mean that literally; she writes about how she used to form her sense of self, despite growing up in Indiana with parents who presumably had a lick of sense. Jesus, her idea of a get out of debt strategy was to have her mother throw her a wedding so she could collect cash gifts. Let that sink in.
I got my afternoon class called off so I'm enjoying a full snow day. I've spent all of it thus far shoveling, however my front walk and part of the sidewalk is the cleanest on the block and my four roommates' cars are clean and dug out. I'm doing an experiment and not mentioning any of it to see which of them respond. Time to light a J and pour a little more Bailey's in my coffee and kick back. If any people here are machinists, please send me a PM, as I'm going to draw up some projects for the mill today and I could use some advice.
My back porch post-storm (yesterday morning it was all dry): Spoiler We drove to a roommate's parents place in St. Paul last night for dinner and it was quite shitty out. I am staying in today at all costs. I still like it here... you just have to drink enough to convince yourself the snow will eventually disappear in lieu of green.
Not if you take pics and/or videos and share them with the board. Just don't share them with Shegirl. With her PTSD from the last time and all. Don't want her getting flashbacks.
I don't think so. My co-workers disagreed, but I think they were just trying to look all goody-goody in front of the firemen.
