Sweet!

I'm flying home tomorrow, so things will be slow for awhile. Well, even slower than usual if we're being honest. :)

Holy Fetchin' Crap

This is horrible.


Man, I used to ride the red line through DC sometimes. Those poor people.

Monday AMV

I watched Gun Sword this weekend.



At least, the first part of it. I didn't realize it was a mech anime, and I'm not a fan of big, giant robots.

Except, of course, for Evangelion. But they're big, giant robots made sense, and it was mostly about people going insane anyway.

Happy Father's Day

Bad Week

Hmm, what to do when something rather important at work goes up in a big flaming ball of awfulness.

Watch a show about people's who typical work day sucks even worse.




I wonder how long the dude in number 4 had to stand in front of a fan for the dramatic wind affect.

Gah, now I have that song totally stuck in my head.

Let's see. Who else could be having a bad day at work?

Random security goons on Noir.



Berserk voice actors?

Monday AMV

Over the weekend I saw XXX-holic for the first time. Its seems to be ghost stories featuring "the dimensional witch"

It was some interesting, weird stuff.



I love the art. Everyone is so elongated. It reminds me of the wierdness bridging the Renaissance and the Baroque. Mannerism?

Man, its been way too long since Art History.

Pop Quiz!

I've developed a reputation at work as being "the religious one." Which is interesting since I can think of two of my coworkers who've been there longer than I have, who are very devout to their particular religions, and who could easily best me at any trivia involving the Bible.

Maybe I'm just more noisy about it.

Anyway, one of my coworkers called and asked me to name off the ten commandments.

"What?" was my exact response.
"Well you know them right?"
I wasn't sure I did actually. "Off the top of my head?" I asked, stalling for time.

Turns out they were trying to think of the ten commandments and could only come up with nine. So I started naming off commandments and, luckily, hit the one they were missing at number 2.

Can you do it?

List the 10 commandments. Right now.

No peeking, No cheating, No Googling.

GO!!

Medieval Times

Saturday I went with a group of friends into Maryland to go to Medieval Times. Its a massive restaurant designed like a castle with an inside arena. Based on the order you arrive, you are given a colored crown and a number. (They look like Burger King crowns.) We had red and yellow crowns, so we sat in the red and yellow section, and were told that our knight was the red and yellow knight. To our right sat the green knight section. The green knight was our immortal enemy and we were to boo him at every opportunity. Since he ended up riding past us quite a bit we booed him with gusto and he sneered back. He sneered well.

The yellow knight section, seated across and up from us, was filled with soccer hooligans. Or perhaps they spent the hour wait at the bar (you get there an hour early so you can shop and look at their stuff), or perhaps both, because they screamed and hollared and had a chant of "Blue Sucks!" going for at least 5 minutes. They also got chastised by security a couple of times. Watching the yellow section was almost as entertaining as the show itself.

You are served several courses, all of which you eat with your hands. We got Tomato Bisque in a bowl with a handle, garlic bread (aka Texas Toast), 1/2 a small chicken, a pork rib, (seriously, a single rib) an herb roasted potato, and an apple tart.

While you eat there's a story, they have the horses do all kinds of cool tricks, bows, dances that sort of thing. They had a falconer, which was awesome, and the knights did all kinds of tricks. They grabbed flags from the ground, threw them to each other, threw lances at a target, grabbed tiny rings with their lances, all kinds of funness.

Our knight, the red and yellow knight, also known as The Stealth Knight, which apparently won out over Sir Baby-Face, or Sir Sucks-a-Lot (our knight died in the first joust, the only knight without a single win. We had to content ourselves with cheering for whoever killed his killer, and booing the Green Knight.)

It was a lot of fun. The Princess was annoying, but whenever she was talking there was a pink light, so you could ignore her and focus on tearing apart your chicken by hand.

I also bought a mango slushy in an awesome looking black glass.

Monday AMV, now with more mullets

I'm loving these literal videos:

HA HA HA!!

This is brilliant.

Assassin Fashion

An assassin in white? I'm not sure I approve.



All kidding aside, this game looks amazing. The graphics are beautiful.

School and Yankees

I have a class every day through Wednesday this week. Its a good class, but 8 hours of focused training a day can be really draining. The instructor is from Mississippi and in an effort to keep us awake and paying attention, he occasionally attempts to teach us proper English. Cuz even though we all live in Virginia, we might as well be Yankees since we can't talk right. Perhaps the most useful lesson has been that you can pretty much say what you want about someone as log as you tack a "bless their heart" on the end of it. We've been split into teams, and my team amuses ourselves by changing our name constantly. It started when we couldn't agree on a name, so we changed it, but now its become a running joke. We wait for when the instructor is away, or not paying attention, and then steal the paper with all the teams on it, and change our name. My favorite so far have been Team Flip Up Chasing Waterfalls Freak-a-Leaks The Team Formerly Knows as Freak-a-Leaks

Monday Music Video

It's back! It's back! It's back! It's back! It's back!It's back!It's back!It's back!



I thought Pushing Daisies was canceled, but then it magically appeared on the DVR Saturday. Yeah!
