Say Anything.

'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.

Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort

This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.

So, say anything.

I just don't know what to say about all this, Pharren. That's probably because I have nofuckingclue what you're talking about, though.

I wish you all the best in this endeavor!

.47 cent savings.


Makes me feel like I'm at Wal-Mart in this thread.

So far the percentage off hasn't changed. If it's not a mistake, then maybe they put their store on sale so that people couldn't use that really nice 50% off $25 or more coupon...

You know that's exactly why they did it. They like to control their sales, considering they only really do the one big sale a year. Rendo has made it so that their shared coupons effect the vendors, not just Rendo's cut. When they already take 50%, or in AS's case it's prolly 40%, adding even more of a cut to the vendor thru their brilliant idea of shared coupons has irritated lots of vendors. The only way to "opt out" of the shared coupons, is to put your stuff on sale. If you want anything from AS over at Daz, however, it's still 50% off over there right now, along with what looks to be a bunch of other stuff back on sale for the last two days of the month.

I like Jet's Black Friday Much better

hooray for Cyber Monday today tho, I got a BluRay player for the man for way cheaper than we saw it yesterday at the same store.

annnnnd my dad got me an xbox 360 for xmas that I can not wait for. Time to play games! Any suggestions on decent games that aren't mega complicated.

Download "Braid" I think it's called. should be about 15 bucks on Xbox live - it's not a major company game, I believe a person, not a company, made it. Either way it's a fantastic "puzzle" game that is very clever, and very artistic.

I just received final payment, putting to an end perhaps my most unsatisfying client interaction. I've learned that Finnish doesn't have words for "over", "under", or any prepositions, really. My client was great with English, but his emails detail-filled novels. Add to all of that detailed instruction the subtle confusion that comes from unclear use of placement propositions!

It's over, it's over, it's OVER!!!

(I just realized that I used the word detail, but I didn't mean it in a flattering DA way.)

"Senate GOP pledges to block all bills until tax dispute resolved"

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

And I say that in the superstitious way you bless someone who sneezes. Because America now officially has no soul. Ironic that the party that attracts so many devoutly religious, intelligent, and otherwise "good" people is able to act in such an egregiously evil manner, apparently unnoticed. It really makes me question the hell out of myself, and I keep passing my own sanity test, which REALLY makes me question myself, and it's just no fun :(

Help.

Speaking of which....I bought a car!

My last car was a 98 escort I bought new and drove for 10 years - I finally sold it a year ago to get through my last semester of undergrad, and I've been vehicleless since. I shopped for about 3 months to find a deal in my low price range, and finally ended up with a steal

2003 Saab 9-5 - it is...badass

Just thought I'd share. i think the speakers in the thing alone are worth half what I paid for it

It's always escaped me how one gets from "love your neighbor" and "help those in need" to "blow everything and everyone up" and "fuck the poor." Also, how anyone who isn't a bazillionaire wants to cut taxes for the mega-wealthy while they, the non-bazillionaires, pay the price for it also seems to have a non-trivial answer - especially when you've got people from the econ team of Reagan's administration saying that that type of economic policy failed. I think they're all part cat, because cats are obviously the most masochistic animals.

Congratulations! You should put butter all over the outside of it and lay pieces of toast on that so that when you smoke by some n00bs they'll at least have some buttered toast to ease the pain.

Doctors are fun to talk to because you usually don't have to dumb yourself down in order to be understood.

Today was a weird day for me, because I was feeling sort of hyperactive all day. I was lying on the table waiting for the doctor to come see me (he's an osteopath, and I had just gotten a massage, so I was still lying on the table) when I got bored of lying there and decided to sit on his little doctor stool. Those things spin. I fucking LOVE spinning in chairs (or anywhere, for that matter) - don't ask because I don't know - especially when I'm hyperactive and behaving like an 8-year-old. So I was spinning and spinning and spinning and the doctor still wasn't coming because they are busy right now with all the snowbirds, so I kept spinning and spinning and started working up a sweat and thinking about how much whatever those muscles that attach your thighs to your pelvis on the side were going to hurt tomorrow. I was switching directions, switching legs, trying different leg and arm positions, just really trying to maximize the spin experience. This went on for at least 5 minutes, probably closer to 10. I really don't think I'll be able to walk in the morning. Finally, the doctor walked in:

Him: "Hey Paul, how are you... what are you doing?"

Obviously, I couldn't just say "I'm spinning for no reason like a hyperactive 8-year-old"

Me: "I'm testing different configurations of weight distribution and limb placement in order to maximize both velocity and comfort."

At this point, most people would just look at you while their brains tried to translate (as if this were such a difficult sentence to comprehend - but apparently people's reading comprehension tends to be better than their listening comprehension for words greater than two syllables), or while they evaluated your psychological stability, but NO! not a doctor!

Him: "How's your vertigo?"

And that's why I love talking to doctors. It probably applies to engineers and other types of scientists. If my dentist didn't have ADHD, I'd probably include him, too - he would lose interest halfway through the sentence and start doing something else. It definitely does NOT apply to psychological/psychiatric therapists; they all seem to be pretty dumb in my experience. Most of my co-workers, who are pretty much ditch-diggers and pipe-fitters, are like the exact opposite of the spectrum. They still express amazement when they see that I actually read books - for FUN!!! *scandalized gasp*

There isn't really any point to this rambling nonsense; I'm just waiting for my new WoW character to finish making 200 bolts of runecloth.

THE END!
