50 Asians + 1 house + 3 (!) woks + 2 rice cookers + board games + beer = Angel's annual family reunion. My (and my sister's) contribution to Asian Invasion 2012?
Why does my body have to be so resistant to painkillers? I got hydrocodone for my pinched nerve and even though I'm supposed to take just one if I want to actually feel some relief I'm to the point where I have to take three at a time. I only got 25 pills and one refill.
Hey, Jennifer Connelly, I see you've been working ouuuu---OH MY FUCKING GOD Easily one of the best looking women on the planet. Err, was. Maybe she's using method acting for a Tracy Gold role.
^^ Why, why did she have to go this route? I hope its for an acting role otherwise she's ruined. Definetely one of my celebrity crushes. It's Sunday. I've been way too sober so far, hoping that changes today.
Well considering she's married to Paul Bettany, who may be a vampire, he could be draining her dry...
Sorry, but thats just not true. Standards are not chambered, and are (mostly) heavier than the Historic Reissues (which come in VOS or Gloss finish). I have a solidbody 58 VOS reissue that is 8 3/4 pounds, in line with the ones made back then. Nowadays, the Standards are pushing 10lbs. Weight does not necessarily = sustain. If anyone here is serious about learning about Les Pauls, check out http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/index.php?s=. Those guys are insanely obsessive about their gear. Heres a pic of mine, I ended up going with the 'Bourbon Burst' finish..
Li'l Bandit and I went to the pet store to pick up some snake chow, and ended up coming home with an emperor scorpion, which Li'l Bandit has named Spartacus. Pictures to follow.
I just came back from grocery shopping. During the trip, I was getting some flour, and this old lady comes up next to me. She was talking, but I was assuming it was to herself. I had my headphones in and couldn't hear what she was saying. But out of the corner of my eye I got the impression that she had been talking to me, so I take one headphone out and the first thing she says to me is "What, do you not speak English?" Now, I am a little cranky today, and I did not appreciate how she was starting off with me. So I just stood there, one headphone in, waiting for her to repeat herself, because I was afraid if I spoke I would be impolite. She says "I'm looking for whole wheat flour. A two pound bag of whole wheat flour." Now, my cart was a few feet away from me, but I assumed she knew I was a fellow shopper but even so, when she found me I was bent over peering at the different price tags, trying to find a match to the bag I was holding, so I was clearly not very familiar with the flour part of the store. So, I didn't know why she was expecting me to help her find her flour, and maybe if she was nice I would've helped her look, but instead I did a Vanna White gesture towards the floor-to-ceiling section of shelves filled with sacks of flour that we were both standing directly in front of and said "I think you may find that here." I put my headphone back in and return to trying to find a price. She steps up to the shelves and looks for her flour, continuing to talk about something. A few moments later she taps me on the shoulder and holds out her bag of flour and goes "See?" And then she points to each word on the package and says it aloud to me in a slow, loud voice: 'WHOLE. WHEAT. FLOUR." And I am so confused and annoyed and go "BITCH JUST BECAUSE YOU OLD DON'T MEAN YOU CAN GIVE ME AN ATTITUDE FO NO REASON. I CAN READ FINE, THANK YOU, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HELP YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE A TURD." Only not with words, just with my face. And then she walked away, looking self-satisfied. And that's when it hit me. I was just confused for a Mexican stockperson at a grocery store who could neither read nor speak English. What the fuck? I was wearing a dress and pearls. That is just one of many reasons why that assumption was ridiculous. I have such little patience for people's stupidity anymore.
More DOTA2 nerdiness. Na'vi is still the champ, and I love the way they play...but LGD might just be too good. Spoiler Wait...wtf are you doing Na'vi? I'm a beginner DOTA2 player at best, but you veto Enigma when LGD goes Naga/Dark Seer? At least make LGD veto him, not you fucking yourself over. Fuck, the only reason they stopped it against iG was because iG absolutely choked and got sucked into a Black Hole/Ravage combo. No Enigma means no lane control when it's 1 or 2 on 3. Fuck.
He is correct, I was wrong on that. Standards (and Studios) are now using the modern weight relief. The 2008 model was chambered. Here's the spec page on the new 2012 LP, with a picture of the weight relief. The Custom and the Traditional are using the traditional ("swiss cheese") weight relief, and the VOS models are still non-relief, solid body guitars. What I should have said is that, if you are looking for a (new) Les Paul with a solid body, you can tell by the tag whether it is or not, because every model has some form of weight relief, except for VOS models (and the single-piece bodies like the LP Junior).
Hey crazy lady! Don't ask me for pad advice (because tampons shouldn't be up your cooch during your "cleansing" time) and then tell me that I'm wrong about douches not being necessary when you go on to ask about those, too. Sincerely, tampon user
Now I have to try to figure out what kind of music to play for (probably) white, (possibly) geeky, triviagoers.
Welcome to my life. Also, I actually did spy some Summer's Eve products on the shelf but kept my trap closed because I am not helping a stranger find creative ways to spray vinegar water up her cooch!
All this guitar tech talk is making my head swim. Look, none of that shit matters. What matters is that you play killer licks, wailing leads, screeching harmonics, tasty hooks and galloping chops. GODDAMN RIGHT. Rocken like Dokken.
That's any day at my store after 4:00 PM. That's when the shred kids come out to play. You walk up to them and ask if they're doing alright, and they turn and look at you, amazed that you would even DARE to ask them how they're doing at YOUR place of business while you work, and they drool and get their Cheetos fingers all over guitars that don't belong to them, and then lean the guitar against the amp, without turning the power off, and walk out. But they buy strings, and their parents buy guitars, so I smile and take their shit, and curse them under my breath in my best Crown Royal impression.
Please tell me that you have a sign hanging that says "No Stairway" In other news, titties! NSFW NSFW NSFW
