should not have done, at work

by Nora Rocket | 07/02/2008 | in haaaate | work

So sometimes when you see a problem at work, the correct response is to look around, see if anyone else has noticed, and move the fuck on without trying to DO anything. Because Trying to Do Something will precipitate a storm of controversy that goes all the way to the top. The top, I tell you! One minute it's a polite disagreement ("hm, that's odd; this customer said he did receive stock from a damaged shipment that you'd been told did not go out") and the next, it's all "Nora, pls triple check that you are right before we go forward" and "hm, let's loop the editor in chief in on this shipping error" and lots of work for me.

Not a very good movie; also, a different, better movie

by Nora Rocket | 06/28/2008 | in film | movies | tired old git complaining about the kids

C and S and I arrived at a new-to-me hole-in-the-wall pub in Cambridge at around 11:30 and began to consume mass quantities. And nachos. When the rains came, we retreated from the patio into the bar and said "well, that settles it" and had another round. By the time we began to be a little sensitive about having outlasted multiple rounds of other patrons, the idea came up to go see the 4:15 of the new Angie Jolie shoot 'em up, Wanted.

This is the kind of movie that, upon seeing previews, prompts my ladyfriend and I to turn to each other and start a low, slowly accelerating chant of "brew and view, Brew and View, BREW and VIEW! BREW AND VIEW!!!" Ah, the Brew and View; another thing to miss about Chicago and wonder why exactly there's nothing like it in Boston (in fairness, the theater near my house serves beer, but it's no B&V). There are certain movies that lend themselves so well to this concept that I want to view them at the Brew and View, even though I wouldn't see them in any other circumstance (in a regular theater, at home, on a plane, at a friend's house...). Summer dreck fares especially well paired with beers, G&Ts, and cheap popcorn swiped off the abandoned table of the couple who are not staying for the second feature.

Hyooooo-mann

by Costacide | 06/25/2008 | in academics | not battlestar galactica but still badass | philosophy | random

Quick question as I sit and read "Introduction: Toward a Critique of Postuman Futures" by Bart Simon, from the winter 2003 Cultural Critique;

Is it possible for me to audibly discuss the meaning of humanism without sounding like I should get kicked in the nuts?

Wrong

How little I care about sport(s)

by Nora Rocket | 06/17/2008 | in Boston | drinking | home life | sports

First, a comment: in the UK and former colonies, it's "sport" singular and "maths" plural, whereas in the ol' U.S. of A., it's "math" and "sports." I love that.

And now, Sport.

The Celtics are really sticking it to the Lakers in these closing minutes of the first half of game whatever-it-is.

Getting home on time

by Nora Rocket | 06/09/2008 | in Boston | DIY | home life | jackassery | public transportation

When faced with your transit line being on fire, proceed directly to your second-best option. Do not think, "oh, I'll try something new this time" or "maybe they'll get the shuttle buses sorted out real soonish-like." You shouldn't, and they won't, and you will be either 2 1/2 hours late getting home or an hour late getting to work, rushing to someplace you don't even want to be anyway.

In other,not unrelated news, our Boston exit strategy is shaping up more quickly, which pleases me.

This summer I am getting back on the blog wagon. I hope it's drawn by a team of clydesdales.

I'm also making stuff around the house. I just topped an old desk with a layer of cork and hung 9 small line drawings of the wildflowers of North America.

THIEF!!!

by melinda | 06/07/2008 | in alcohol | thief | wankers | weekend

right, so im fully pissed cause my phone was stolen...now normally i would just accept it and buy another phone but this time there is a story to go with it!!!

well anyway, i went out clubbing with my mate heather right. both completely smashed and heather thinks its a brilliant idea to take 4 random guys back to the flat. yeah great idea.
by the time i got back, heather was in the room with 2 guys, one fully nude except for his shoes, the other still with his pants on and both with errections.
naturally, i started yelling at them to get the fuck out of my flat...i probably wouldnt have goten so angry if the other two hadnt drunk half my alcohol and raided my fridge. and cause im a weak pussy, i couldnt kick them out by myself cause they kept coming back, luckily my excellent sister and her girlfriend - that you dont want to fuck with when shes angry - werent far away

[[Mood]] Lovely&Creative
[[Music]] "Your Gonna Miss This" Trace Atkins

Yes, hense forth there is another newbie, beware.

I've made a previous account on here before, so I know how this works, "Its a fake account"

Hello, this is the real deal baby!

I'm out of school [Thank God] and ready to finally breathe. I've had some things on my mind, like a new song I've been working on, music, politics, etc.

So my new song, basically its a heart-breaker "Douse my heart in Loves rain, I know that I'll never be the same" [1st 2 lines]

If anyone actually cares to give me some input, please message [Song title is; "Dear Darling, Beautiful Lovely"]
