So weird.

I Don't Belive California Actually Exists. Even though a friend of mine just returned from a vacation there.

I hate it when that happens. But California definitely dosen't exist.
I have a month until I can move out and my roommate is taking things from my room, leaving passive aggressive notes on my door, and running into her room when she hears my door open. She's a shut-in, rarely straying further than the garden, and her entire world circles around her best friend and her boyfriend (both of whom live with us). Should I even bother cornering her to talk about it?

According to this legend, Mike will be willing to allow his unique voice to be digitally enhanced to improve upon the recording experience. On top of this, the band is receptive to having Mike on the team as one group member recently left. Hey, I’d buy it if Mike was rappin’ to a big beat. But, it’s a boy band and I’m not a boy.

Metachat Fun Fact Of The Day: St. Pierre and Miquelon, two small islands off the coast of Newfoundland, were originally named the "Eleven Thousand Virgins" by Portuguese explorer João Álvares Fagundes in 1521. Island tourism would probably be more extensive if the original name were restored.

Footage of Super Mario Galaxy on Wii (youtube; shakycam) Well, that washes the bad taste out of my mouth from yesterday's PS3 news.
"He is the servant of the law and eludes judgment." He comes to the girl's apartment some afternoons to play killing games, posing her as a variety of homicide victims and snapping her photograph... He is a sadist, a bully. She is a masochist, but with her it's a game and she probably didn't expect him to cut her throat. The murder takes place on his last day as chief of homicide; he has been promoted to head the political branch... He takes leave of his old job very carefully, littering her apartment with fingerprints, footprints, dozens of clues. Then he helps his successor investigate the crime. He has a compulsion to discover just how powerful he really is. Even though every clue points to him, the police will refuse to touch him.

Fiddlesticks! Susan Polk's expert witness, the self-employed pathologist, has somehow lost his notes on his autopsy-in-abstentia (from which he concluded that Polk's husband died from heart failure, not the 27 stab wounds Polk is on trial for). No notes means no cross-examination by the prosecution -- a violation of the trial procedure. The pathologist believes he might have left the notes on the airplane, or maybe the maid took them from his hotel room. Or maybe he forgot them altogether and left them at home. The problem? No one is home but the dog.

Walk into the store with a pocket full of nickels... I just bought a block of cheese using only .50 SEK coins (50 öre).

In my defence: The store was practically empty, they had two registers open and I counted the money beforehand.

Do they teach architects/engineers to write like this? (Hi Speck!) I just received engineered drawings for a project I'm coordinating at work and they had a COMPUTER FONT that looks just like architect writing! Wow. So, um, what's the font called?

I didn't realize that all the fan tab sites are being taken down. This is really sad news.

't fuck? people don't like springsteen? i used to work at the
hippest radio station in the country and we all seemed to like springsteen, mostly. me, i'm naming my first born brucespringsteenfuckingrocks. which will be awkward for her.
i think if you think bruce sucks, you pretty much suck. this is just my opinion but it is correct.
This certainly did not get enough attention yesterday. Weekend posts too often don't. You must check it out. And then marvel at the wonder that is LT.
This Picture Kills. BLIT. A short science fiction story by David Langford.

begins here), which also happens to feature an image of (omg!)
bunnies in peril.
