Turns out when girls from Canada visit Australia and you say to them, "I come from Caaaanada and people think I'm slow eh?" they only find it funny the first time.
So, yeah, web-based application start-ups are the way to go, apparently. Just found out that after a week of negotiations, our potential investors have accepted and are no longer "potential", and my new startup is financed to the tune of 7 figures. Term sheets and contracts are going to the lawyers on Monday, and the wire is expected to hit the account by Friday. If any of you guys need web-based digital asset management and process workflow for animation productions, drop me a line.
So you're going to install SharePoint, change the logo, do a few three-day training courses and pocket the rest, right? Alternatively, you could install the Oracle workflow engine. 7 figures will buy you what, two seat licenses for a year? Larry Ellison needs a new yacht...
Nah, it's amazing what you can accomplish with a week of Ruby on Rails programming. Now it's time to spend 5% of it on outsourcing it to a bunch of offshore sweatshops while we use the rest to drown in hookers and blow. On the plus side, I can now get paid for the first time in almost 6 months. Always a good thing. And I can also revert back to my preferred schedule:
The downside is that you have to change all the buttons in the UI from "Do the Needful" back to "OK" and all the instances of "today morning" to "this morning." I have a Canadian localization script that might help: sed 's/$/, eh\?$/g' Sadly I am not rich and do not have a wide-open schedule, so you've got me there. Is it as hard as they say to suck a paycheck through Larry Ellison's wang? (I keed! I keed! - well, not about my salary or hours...)
I am but a high-priced technical ho. I have no delusions otherwise, but it does pay the bills. At least now I get to work on my own stuff again, and will see the benefit out of it in a couple of years or so. Who knows, by then, maybe it'll be Ellison who buys us out?
There's 24 bottles of Mill St. Stock Ale yelling at me to stop being such a bitch and start drinking already, but unfortunetly kids put a damper delay on that. FUCK I haven't gone out since New Year's Eve. This is what it's like when you "settle down".
Big ups to Grease for getting on stage and getting it done, it's not easy and I applaud anybody who actually takes the time and works at it. (People still say big ups right?) But who the fuck filmed that? It looked like a flip book. Did I go to sleep and wake up in 1999? Your Underground Canadian-Indian Battle Rap Duo Sponsored by Eccentric Billionaire Ill Track of the Day: I don't even smoke that much, but that's blunt music.
That clip is old, and shitty. It wasn't from his latest stuff. I saw him in Calgary, live, and it was way, way better than that video.
Usually people only tape the first times they do it, to learn. It SUCKS watching yourself do that. You always think you look like an asshole, your voice sounds like shit and you're not funny. My very first time ever on stage last year I spilled my beer on myself while giving "cheers" to the audience. Bra-VO. *clap clap clap*. If he won, then his set has to be really funny. Calgary's a comedy town and has almost a million people so kudos to him. The national final will air in about 6 weeks.
I was with a girl for two years and still never did let it rip. Maybe that's just me being weird but anytime I have to do that I go to the bathroom.
He did multiple sets, and didn't didn't repeat material once. All the other competitors did the same set over and over. He's got a solid hour of material already. He won in a landslide, and he even debuted some new material in the actual competition. Again, the dude's fucking funny. Full of himself, but funny.
Ugh. There's nothing worse than having to listen to the same comics do the same five minute sets, over and over, no matter how much their jokes bomb. Some of them always wear the exact same outfits, the same actions, even talk to the same table in front of the stage no matter who is sitting there. I usually have two jokes I keep in my set, but it's more fun to experiment with new or other stuff to get a reaction. However, writing something funny and performing it funny is two entirely different beasts. The worst is that our MC is such a hack that HE does the same jokes every single night. MC's are supposed to be above that, and have new material each time. That's why they're the hosts. No dice in London.
Well that was awkward. I broke up with this girl that I've been off and on dating for the last year. Cue her deciding the best thing to do was show up to my house uninvited at 1030.
