152 insights into my soul

The usual suspects were over last night, and we ended up playing Arkham Horror. FOR 6+ HOURS! Owel, at least we won. I would've have been pretty vexed if we went through all that and ended up losing. But it was fun. Anywho, people worshiping the ancient ones/elder gods. cliffV('What's up with that?!') How herertical!

TV commentary:

Stargate: Atlantis It think some fans were prolly annoyed at the series finale of SGA, but given how abrupt the cancellation announcement was, I don't think there was much they could've done to come up with a better end to the show. Yeah, it felt more like just another ep rather than a finale ep, but that's prolly b/c they didn't have time to work up to a satisfying end, so they had to come up with something quick. I mean, the entire last ep was just one big deus ex machina to set up the plot of this ep. ( spoiler cut )

Psych- Okay, last night's return of Psych was hilarious. ( cut for spoilers )

Oh, and I just heard, Dexter and Deb got married on New Year's!? So you have a married couple playing step-siblings on a show now? That's disturbingly hilarious!

Chyx texting you at like 230 in the morning saying they miss you and how they like love you and stuff. cliffv('What's up with that?!')

Is it me, or is the commercial with the guy who turns everything he touches into skittles horrifying? It is indeed not "cool" or "awesome" or whatever the other guy said. I mean, you may think, "cool, skittles", but you won't think its so great when you touch a loved one and they die a grisly transformed into skittles death! And I guess its only limited to his hands, as stuff in contact with the rest of his body is fine. So he can't cover his hands with gloves, because they'd just turn into skittles? That would be an awful thing to happen to a person! Being cursed with having everything one touched turn into skittles, I mean. Well, I guess also being turned into skittles would also be horrible.

Just watching Punk'd right now, is Elijah Wood gay? Because he sounds extremely effeminate when they're talking to him.

Damn, I'm hungry. All I had for dinner was a microwave five cheese pizza and some tostitos. That's one of the sucky things about being on nights, my food choices are limited to whatever I bring with me. I mean, places like Waffle House and Checkers are opened 24 hours or really late, but Checkers especially looks shady at night. Last time I was at their drive thru at 3am I had my hand on a weapon the whole time, what with all the thuggish looking people hanging out there at that time. Is the Mcdonalds on Northside open 24 hours? I seem to remember someone saying something to that effect.

I could really go for a double bacon cheeseburger topped with chili or something right now, but I'll have to settle for a Stouffer's salisbury steak and mac and cheese with some chips from the vending machine.

Wait, there's a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2?! I mean, what other misadventures can Joan of Arcadia, Ugly Betty, Rory Gilmore and Serena Van Der Woodsen get into while wearing magic pants?!

What's up with people not picking up on cases of attempted regicide that are quite obvious?! So a land's queen was captured and imprisoned in the layer of a great beast for years, and there's a prophecy foretelling of a hero coming to free her, and everyone who's gone after the beast has died. Currently, the leader is a regent who is "humbly" leading in the queen's stead until she can be freed. Like, why wouldn't you be suspicious that he's setting up all the heroes trying to rescue her to die, so he can stay on the throne?!

Or if some little princess has to go on a quest to show she is worthy to be queen. And all of a sudden, on her journey she's continually accosted by assassins who seem to know exactly where she's going? Gee, could one of her two sisters, who stand to get the throne if the princess dies, be the one leaking the info?! ojv('Man, its obvious!!')

That Fight Quest show on the Discovery channel is a pretty cool show. I mean, they go around the world, learning all sorts of different styles and seeing how they measure up against masters of said style. I mean, even if they get their ass kicked, they're getting experience. Honestly, no style is bv('The Best!') but getting all this experience, seeing all these moves from various martial arts, you get to see what works for you and keep it, making you a much better fighter. I mean, a master of one of those styles will kick a lot of ass, but if they get to train in other arts, can't they pick up new "tricks" that could perhaps make up for deficiencies in a particular style?

Speaking of shows on the Discovery and Military channel, I think I mentioned before how surprised I was that I'd watch these shows about military technology, and knew exactly what they were gonna talk about, even down to pieces of interesting trivia. I remember over Christmas Break my dad being somewhat impressed that I'd tell him something about some gun or military vehicle, and then the experts would repeat the exact same thing. So then he was all, some big wig at the US army chemical materials agency is Filipino, why didn't you use your chemical engineering degree to go and do something like that? Of course, me answering all these pop culture trivia questions when watching Jeopardy and some Filipino game show called Game Ka Na Ba (I don't understand Filipino, but I can understand the questions they have about American pop culture) over the dinner table had my aunt all, "why don't you try out for one of those game shows?" So I was amused that besides the questions about when I'm gonna get married or have kids when I come to visit them, they were also, why don't you try and make money off a trivia game show or helping to destroy chemical weapons stockpiles?

- weird moment of the day: Eating dinner with the roomie at Friday's, I noticed this cute brunette sitting at the next table over with her two gay brothers (Okay, mebbe her boyfriend and a friend that's a boy) look over at me not with dismissiveness or disgust, but mild interest! And as we were leaving, this brunette college cutie sitting with her parents did the same thing! How odd. Well, I do think the brown AE hoodie and cargo pants I'm wearing go together and look quite smart.

- embarrassing moment of the day: While sitting in my car waiting for the engine to warm up before driving to work, I was listening to Delilah, and her show was playing Firefall's "You are the Woman" so I was singing along, getting all into it with the head bopping and hand gestures, and I look over and see through the upstairs window of some neighboring house some person looking at me funny for my singing to myself dorkiness. Surely, they shouldn't see me, but the floodlight from the garage was illuminating me in the car.

What's with chicks getting all horrified when in self defense, you kill the psycho ex con trying to kill you and who works for the man whose thugs are terrorizing the local townfolk! Excuse me for trying to not get killed! Sorry for trying to protect you and other good, honest folk! Chicks, man!
