Nachos

I just thought of nachos and realized that I can't remember me EVER ordering nachos in my entire life even though I think they're pretty good. Does any place make a nice nacho dinner?

Awesomely awesome AD

The Flag

That's the Portland flag up there. Suitable enough. I rather like it, it strikes me as quite dignified.

The Strike

So as some of you may know, possibly from my constant blathering on about it, the Writers' Guild of America is currently on strike. This being the group of people who write TV shows and movies. This is, naturally, raising all sorts of hell with this winter's TV schedule. As in, the December 3rd episode of Heroes is looking like it's gonna be the season finale, and we're only gonna get 8 episodes of Lost. They've already cancelled Heroes: Origins, which really sucks, as I was very much looking forward to Kevin Smith's inevitable Bluntman and Chronic episode.

Anyway, I really support the writers, blah blah etc. If you're actually interested, there's a good list of blogs and sites covering the strike here. I've been following it pretty closely, because I really don't have anything better to do. There have been various videos posted related to the strike and its consequences. This one is by far my favorite that I've seen: "What Will Happen To Television If The Writers’ Strike Continues?"



And you know, I started this post with the intention of just posting that video, so ignore all that stuff I wrote before it.

Bowling this Weekend

Our League is starting this Sunday and Kristi and I were talking about going sometime on Friday or Saturday. Is anyone else interested? My availability is Friday after or before we see that Ground Kontrol DJ, and then Saturday before 9 and after midnight.

Liechtensteinian

I think the flag looks vaguely Scandinavian. As if there were some heretofore unnoticed, Liechtensteinian principality nestled into some tiny wedge between Norway and Sweden. And it would of course be called Awesometopia.

In other news, the U.S. dollar is worth about 93 Canadian pennies. Do Canadians accidentally get U.S. quarters in change and feel gypped?

Flag?

Why do we even have this flag? Is it our flag? What the hell is it even doing here? Why don't we make our own flag? Like, with a goat on it, or some shit? Or like, The Iron Maiden Logo? Or something? What the hell.

Again. Again. Again. Again. Again.

Just finished (finally) watching Razor. Holy fuck, do I love this show. Those of you that haven't watched yet: DO IT!

God, that was awesome.

RE: The Flag Above

Yes, he has proven conclusively that he is a fucking idiot. Are you telling me that the 5 hits/day that he would get from this blog is in any way, ANY WAY, an issue? Is this image hosted on his iPod or something? No, I didn't think so (since we are in having-conversations-with-ourselves mode).

He is a meddling, uptight dweeb that is WAY too aware of his bandwidth and needs to do a cranial-rectal inversion to fix his problem. Then go outside and get some air.

My dream car may be ugly

But it's electric and AWD and going into production in 2009. See here and here. Not sure where Mitsubishi's press release went.

You can't deny it

So I just got back from a joyful jaunt into the heart of lovely downtown Hillsboro, and realized something: Hillsboro is happenin'! Now, you might be thinking "sure, but it's no downtown Portland," to which I would respond "Yes, it actually, really is," to which you might respond "you're a fucking idiot," to which, I imagine, I might respond with something like "I know you are, but what am I?" and you'd say "An asshole!" and I'd say "Goddamn it, it's fucking awesome! I just basked in its sweet exurban glow, along with many other beautiful downtown Hillsboro appreciators (Q: wait, were the appreciators beautiful, or was downtown Hillsboro beautiful? A: both). What is wrong with you? Why the Hillsboro Hatin'?" at which point the conversation would end uncomfortably. But really, Grocery Outlet rocks.

So uhhh, Ground Kontrol on Friday? Josh is going to destroy everyone at DK.

Hillsboro Goat

The Flag Above

Man, I don't know if any of you recently checked the site, but the flag above was changed into this:



Well, I uploaded it to Blogger which I should have done earlier, but this guy really makes a point.

Anyway, games on Thursday and Ground Kontrol on Friday.

Two Items of Note

Galactica fans: I am downloading Razor as we speak. It's at all the usual sites (Demonoid, PirateBay, etc.). I'm planning on watching it tomorrow, you're welcome to join me. Probably start around 7:00 or so (so as not to interfere with Heroes).

Wii owners: Toys'R'Us is planning on offering a $25 giftcard FREE with the purchase of Super Mario Galaxy. That is fucking insane. I'm gonna try and make it to one as soon as I can to place a preorder, I suggest you do the same. Once the ad hits the streets those stores are gonna be bedlam. CheapAssGamer has a long forum thread on the subject, culminating in a confirmation by a Toys'R'Us employee.

Just wanted to let everyone know

I feel like vomiting. I think something must've gotten my goat.

Winco = Winning Company?

Did you know that? What a great company name!

I hope to God this is redundant and you've all already seen it. Otherwise, my sister hasn't done her job.

GOAT TRUMP

You know I took this picture WHILE DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE. This motherfucker has ALL the goats.
ROCK BALLS.

Holy Shit!

New Joss Whedon show!

I'm seriously freaking out here. Like, jumping up and down and stuff. I'm glad no one is around to see me.

For David

Arizona St. vs. Oregon is on ESPN on Saturday.

Holding back the urge.

You guys have no idea how hard it is for me to refrain from taking this 'goat' thing too far on the new Blog. Lucky for you all, I can't go tracking down the goatse guy while at work. :)
