Think I will finally picl up HL2 Episode 2 for the PC, only have it on the Orange Box on the 360.
Oh and +d
I’m actually considering upgrading my Mac OS so I can buy/run those swell games.
I was going to buy portal but my OS fell short.
Alright, Jack. I assume you haven’t made your way through my Top 50 yet, so I went ahead and saved you the trouble of an hours-long downloading binge.

I came across that last one as Amazon is running 1000 MP3 albums for $5 each. I’ve also come across a few others that I know I own, but don’t have them ripped to my Itunes. However, I also have no idea where the original CD’s themselves are, so I’m probably going to just buy them with this deal.
Toni Basil, should have done a cover of Scarborough Fair.
We’re off to the Fiesta Bowl. Go team!
I think the hangover has hung itself.
For those who missed my Facebook and/or Tweet…
I sent someone an email.
I then saw said email as a sent email in my email box and thought it was an email sent to me.
I then replied to the email.
Thus replying to myself.
This dumbass memory has been brought to you courtesy of some fantastically delicious ShEvo Studios hot chocolate drink and several chocolate cake shots… or the hangover it created.
I’m not sure which – but … I have a feeling a co-worker may have reported me on this website last night
http://textsfromlastnight.com/
Ouch!
If you don’t want me to drunk text you… you probably shouldn’t give me your cell phone number.
Just to be clear … those weren’t all yours were they?
;)
None of them were mine.
I did a thorough check of my area code.
and a complete wipe of my phone.
evidence = what evidence?
cough
thanks everyone :)
I love drunk texts. I have been guilty of some AMAZING drunk texts in my time.
I am so glad this age of cell phones and camera phones and facebook that all of that came AFTER my most crazy years. The pictures and stories and proof of such events people would have of me… *shudders*
Has anyone else noticed how much more well lit bars/clubs are these days? Hugh and i were discussing this recently. When we were out doing our worst partying the places we hung out at were dark. Very dark. We wanted it that way. You wanted people to NOT see you. But even our favorite club in Chicago sometime in the early 2000′s remodeled and become more well lit. I think its all related. Going out drinking used to be like vegas. What you did when you were out partying stayed within your circle of friends. Today people want to be seen. It is very odd.
Ah well. Anyway.
Going MIA again. Tomorrows a big day. Hughs mom is coming to SF tomorrow. Bears are playing the Packers. These are major events in our lives.
I’ll let you know how the evaluation goes when we hear. I am sure you will all probably hear me screaming if it goes as well as we hope.
LOL if those texts are real some of those are pretty damn funny
ok this might be my favorite:
He passed out on the floor and you kept hitting him in the dick and screaming “hammer of justice”.
On that note I must walk away from my computer
Almost time for Calgary/ Edmonton hockey game
We saw The Book of Eli earlier today. About half way through the movie hubby and I are both scratching our head on some of the ideas in the movie. Near the end there was this little twist (which I won’t say because of spoilers). That made us change our mind. We ended up liking the movie
How I spent New Years Day:
Woke up at 8:00 am. Showered, dressed, and ate
Then worked until lunch time (stupid month end, will be working tomorrow morning too)
Had mac & cheese
Hubby then left to play with some friends (music, you gutterminded people)
I divided my time between the XBox and my book (CR: Man With the Golden Toric by Simon Green)
Hubby came home an we ordered in burgers from Boston’s
Watched a movie
Now waiting for the hockey game
Wasn’t my day exciting?
Currently listening to the commentators doing a swing by swing play by play on the fight that seemed to have started in the Toronto game that’s on before my game
“swoosh”
Calgary needs to win this game. If we do we will move up to 13th spot
According to the commentators Ottawa “found a way to lose the game”. Huh? Is that a backhanded insult to Toronto who won?
CW: Crossing Over
Sly B and her mom are off to DIA to pick up our niece – I was deemed too sick to get out in the frigid air . . .
Hope you all have had a wonderful New Year’s Day!
Stixx is playing at the outdoor classic. How strange
Ooh how I spent my day:
Turned my alarm off at 4am and gave it a dirty look.
Got up to pee.
Went back to bed to find a child in my spot.
Moved her.
Went back to sleep.
Got up at 8:30 and let the dog out.
Let the dog in.
Let the dog out.
Let the dog in.
Let the dog out.
shivered.
turned on the heater.
Let the dog in….
Took the kids to McDonalds
Sat in McDonalds and talked on the phone with a friend in California for an hour while my kids played.
Met a nice lady at McDonalds. Talked to her a bit while her daughter played with my kids.
And I’m only to 10am…
Came home and let the dog out.
… I can’t go on. I have to let the dog out.
Then I’m going to sleep.
good night
Wrap up and stay warm EssBee
Night Cj *tucks Cj in and gives her a kiss on the head*
You too, Bunny!
Stupid CBC. Only playing the outdoor classic on the HD channel. Calgary game only on the non-HD channel.
Calgary draws first blood
Hubby and I both notice, even though they have the only goal, Calgary is not playing any where near as good as last night. I guess it’s true, when you play a better team it raises your own level of play
Calgay players fall on their butts a lot
1 – 0 Calgay end of the first
Edmonton scored. Now tied at one
This game would go a lot quicker if they didn’t have to constantly stop for commercial breaks
That was an amazing goal
2 – 1 Calgary
Just got back from one of my least favorite activities – visiting a furniture store. I was really hoping to avoid this until we settled in to the new house. However, I was outvoted. Still, we did pretty well and I think my wife will now be satiated for a while.
Tomorrow comes a new bedroom set for my daughter (she is extremely excited), along with a new sectional sofa, coffee table, and end table.
2 – 1 Calgary. End of the second
Ugh. Furniture shopping isn’t my idea of fun
“steaming”
Bunny, I need to get you to meet my wife. :)
I’m not a big shopper of any kind. I usually know what I want so go in, get it, and leave. None of this browsing balogna for me. Not even for clothing
Calgay wins 2 – 1
Bed time
Later Panites
Well, that game was worth what we paid for the tickets.
GN, M.
I loath clothes shopping with a passion.
I tend to wear clothes till they fall to bits, the last time I bought clothes in a shop was in Jan 2010, when I bought a waterproof coat and waterproof shoes.
My New Years Day was spent messing around with computers and a mini helicopter.
Sleeping off a big meal.
Go for a walk to the the newspaper.
-the +get
Well bleak they may have been but I enjoyed the stories this month:
http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/
Wooh. I have had enough weekend. I need to get back to work so I can have a schedule again.
Why, yes, I am stoopid. =)
The earbuds2 idea sounds like fun. I think I’d like to play too.
I liked everything about the Book of Eli except for the story part and the lead actor. I find Denzel irritating, just something about him grates at me, so that wasn’t a surprise. I was surprised at the story. Gary Whitta wrote the screen play and I expected better. Because I listened to him on a podcast, so obviously he’s smart, right? And a good writer. Yeah…
I love shopping for anything.
I’d be happy to be a personal shopper for any of you!
Actually – I’m in the market for a new sofa set. Mine is 8 years old and falling apart.
I think our made it for about fifteen years under the abuses of two big dogs and then two rampant children.
But, I tend to deal with furniture as Van does with clothes. We probably should have replaced this thing several years ago.
Living and daughter’s bedroom are now prepped for the new arrivals.
Morning, DP!
NS, I’m with ya on Eli. I liked The Road much better.
Morning Deadpan.
Got to play “Settlers of Catan” yesterday.
I declare it fun.
Jack – had that game on in the background while I was playing “Settlers”. I think I saw you. Were you that guy in the stands with the coat on? The one with the hair? You were talking to someone.
That was me, J0e! Although I was wearing a knit cap. It was that unusually cold here. . . . I went to buy hot chocolate, but the stadium doesn’t even sell it.
Settlers is fun, btw. We’ll get there in a few years.
Last chance to pick up Plants vs ZOmbies cheap:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/3590/
He he, new furniture has arrived. Good thing our new house, especially the living room, is going to be bigger. Alas, my wife has no sense of scale and was quite shocked at how big the new sofa in our our living room.
BTW, EssBee – what kind of sound system are you trying to hook up to your TV? Are you trying to send something to the TV, or are you trying to get to sound to run from the TV to your system to play the audio?
The latter, Ed. The sound quality on the TV is sub-par.
Spent the weekend doing deliverys. Sounds like everyone is having a good New Year. :)
Essbee – does your TV have “Audio Out” jacks?
Um
Is this real news or fake?
http://www.deadseriousnews.com/?p=524
ok it’s all fake
Yukky weird news site.
Justa Joe beat me to it – that will be the question. Can you tell us the model of the TV? I know Joe and I can look up the manual and figure out how/if we can get you hooked up.
CW: Surrogates
It does! Panasonic Viera HDTV. The stereo has an AUX setting . . .
Okay, first things first – DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS!
ack!
It seems there is a whole series of “Panasonic Viera HDTVs”
Without knowing which model you have I would guess that it MAY have an “audio out”! which is good because then you are just a stereo cable away from hooking into your stereo’s AUX !!
Really, Quentin? Toy Story 3? Greenburg? Kick Ass? None of these are bad, but Top 10?
http://www.slashfilm.com/quentin-tarantinos-favorite-movies-2010/
Well he does have a foot fetish.
Neat:

Well, here we go again. After a couple of months packed with breaks, vacations, and holidays, comes the long march of work through the dark days of winter. yee haaaaaaaa…..
*sigh* Back to five am wake up calls.
Good morning.
Morning Cj. Month end so will be hit and miss today.
Someone please explain this proverb to me?
“If you pull a squirrel from the water, it will contrive a plot against you”
I’ve never heard that one before. But you know those squirrels, they just can’t be trusted
Letting your enemy live will come back and bite you in the ass?
ahh
I get it now.
What would I do without you guys?
Get bit by a lot of wet squirrels?
Wet Squirrels would be a pretty awesome band name…
Wet Squirrels Who Contrive Plots… even better.
Morning pan! It’s back to the coal mines. :(
Mind the Squirrels ditto, those mine squirrels are the worst!
I know. Once you get past the rabbits, the squirrels–look at the teeth, man!–will eat you alive!! ;)
CP: The C-Word — Beatnik Turtle
… and I’m guessing we’re fresh out of Holy Hand Grenades,
CP: On-Hold music – meh
On a brighter note -
http://tinyurl.com/26uhaxe
“Cheeks Full Of Nuts” is a great debut album name.
J0e, I’ll be sending you the bill from my eye doctor.
Owwch.
Morning, DP! I know this will make me popular:
I have today off!
Back to work tomorrow for me.
JJ, I’ll see if it’ll work – maybe I hooked it to audio IN last time!
Anyone here seen Black Swan? I think i want to see it.
After nearly a month off, I’m back in the office. WOO WOO! It actually feels good to be back at my desk.
HAPPY NEW YEAR DEADPAN!
Here’s to a Happy, LOUD, and healthy new year to all!
Getting back to work, I expected to see my Inbox rather full. Since it isn’t, I’m now worried about what may happen this week.
Hey hey! 2 year pay freeze for me! Thanks America!
*kicks puppy*
I shouldnt bitch. At least I have job security. These days thats a blessing.
Proverb meaning – squirrels are assbags
CP: In One Ear — Cage The Elephant
Pete Postlewaite passed away. Around here, most people recognize him as the guy from Brassed Off.
Around where?
Have you moved to the UK and not told anybody ditto?
I would have thought The Usual Suspects would spring to mind for North Americans..
Thats exactly what sprung to mind for me, Van. That and Inception
Okay, I see the issue! The only OUT my TV has for audio is “digital” . . .
^and I was using the Audio IN in my previous attempt.
Thanks JR and Happy Wishes back at you!
Jack: “Cheeks Full Of Nuts” could be bigger then “Smell the Glove”!
CJ: Turn around bright eyes
Lo Pan: “Fingers crossed” that the economy will be recovered enough in 2 years that raises will be standard issue again!
EssBee: Foiled again by the ones and zeros.
Any chance you are feeding the TV it’s signal from a TiVo, DVR or Cable Box?
If so, then those devices should have a standard RCA audio out on them.
Hey JOe – YES, I do have a DVR – I’ll check that out before I go in for a digital-to-analog converter.
Cheers, JJ.
[Izzard joke/] EssBee. But do you have a flag?
Lunch time at the bunny house. Lucky be, I get a brief break from spreadsheets
And how do bunnies spend their lunches? *grumble* Looking up stupid information on stupid (expensive) private clinics in Calgary because we have a stupid public health system *grumble*
Well, that was fun. Back to looking at big numbers in little boxes
Dear god…. only 2 episodes left until I finish S05 of Doctor Who.
Ive learned so far that Van Gogh could see aliens, love somehow conquers crashed alien technology, the Angels are still scary, Spitfires can fly in space to attack multi-racial Daleks, Rory is/was retarded/annoying.
I really like the new Doc. I really like Amy. I’m not a fan of this season at all. It does my heart good to hear from you guys the that Xmas special is quite good. Gives me hope.
“little boxes”
“stupid public”
CP: RIP Burn Face — CocoRosie
I think of “In the Name of the Father” and “Usual Suspects” when I think of Pete Postlethwaite. One of those actors you were always glad to see.
I probably should have phrased my statement better. :)
That wasn’t in a counterattack to you comment about Brassed Off, ditto :).
CW: Zen: Vendetta
New TV series, where the BBC pay British actors to play Italians speaking English.
Yeah, all very worthy, but a little bit annoying.
Sure, sure, that’s what they all say. And then… when you least expect it… you get smacked in the head with a frozen mukluk.
*thud*
:)
CP: Violet Hill — Coldplay
Vagina!
Wha Huh !!!!
I guess that Lo Pan was just presenting a Vagina Monoline.
CP: Winter — Tori Amos
Elysium could be good…
http://blastr.com/2011/01/how-district-9-directors.php
but “stars” don’t mean much to me in terms of whether a movie will be good or not.
damn, digital out only from the TV. Probably some HDCP crap to keep you from trying to record the audio coming in via an HDMI connection.
I think Joe’s onto something with just running the audio directly from your DVR to the sound system and bypass the TV entirely.
EssBeez – I haz yet to seez teh R0adz. I liked Viggo in LotR, but then he did Hidalgo (a little to close to really real for my entertainment tastes) and I sort of wrote him off my white board. At least, that’s my excuse. =)
demoncat hath entered the body of my Nomad….
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnnnd looking forward to starting from scratch with the Doctor Who xmas special. Who knew that Davies writing would be missed this much? I shall not belabor this point any further, but Who was/is in my top 5 fav shows. I feel like Ive been kicked in the throat after S05.
But omg can I say how happy I am with Smith and Gillan? Love em both very much!
Out of all the 2010 movies, I only saw 17. 2 of those were in the theater. And quite a few were family/comedy movies that I likely wouldn’t have seen if it weren’t for the, ya know, family.
Lo Pan – *BLEEP* you very kindly.
=P
I like Smith and whoever plays Rory. I wish Moffett had kept more of the DRAMA from Davies, but I can still enjoy the Doctor. Just as a children’s show instead.
And what’s with all the carrots-?
What do they need such good eyesight for anywa – y?
Lo – I don’t think you’ll like the Xmas special if you didn’t like the season. It has the same goofy gee-whiz-bang silly light-hearted feel as most of s05. I enjoyed it, but…
Be careful to specify the Xmas Special that you’re talking about…
http://aschmann.net/AmEng/#LargeMap
Neat.
Deathworm is free today:
http://freeappaday.com/napp.php?id=736
Yes you can recreate Tremors and play the creature..
Well there was that propaganda fluff during WW2 where they claimed this night fighter pilot was so good at hunting planes because he ate a lot of carrots.
He was using RADAR…
Wow. That -is- neat.
And big!
The map. I don’t have any idea how big the fighter pilot was.
The Xmas Special. That’s the one that comes with extra cheese?
The Xmas Special. That’s the one that comes with a happy ending?
So… Do y’all say “ON” so that it rhymes with “DAWN” or with “DON”?
‘Cuz I say “DAWN” and “DON” identically.
DON here.
