Members Super_Donut_Man Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 I received this email a while ago... "NIce but I wont be here. Stop doing so much big deal about it, because that is making you to get more attention. Which is the part that you don't like..... and less is the other way." The Mars Volta is tonight.

It was more or less shown to me (by my companies actions) that me and the other people in my position that were not worth more than $1 extra a hour. $.98 raise. Should be happy I have a job, but it sucks when we are way underpaid to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zamfir Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 I realized I hadn't picked up Harry Potter #6 yet (Half-Blood Prince). So I just found the paperback. In German. Can you say, "two birds with one stone"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zamfir Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 OK, I admit I'm a language geek, but what's wrong with Harry Potter in German? I figure I'll pick up more conversational German syntax this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hearafter Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 Wonder what is lost in translation? Wouldn't it be funny if you got a whole different story in the English version? Like: In a fit of hormonally-fueled jealousy rage, Harry stabs Haromine with his wand, and spiders pour out of the wound, paralyzing Ron and crawling down his throat, consuming his flesh from the inside... leaving only his bones to rot in the darkness of the forest... Rated PG-13 Now we got a story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rated PG-13 Now we got a story... That will almost certainly happen given my limited ability to understand a lot of German. I just wonder if I'll get half the jokes...

Members Zamfir Posted September 6, 2009 Members Share Posted September 6, 2009 *note to self: unpack and air out tent more than once every 4-5 years* My 15-yr-old one-person tent had the roof/fly rather adhesed to itself all over the place. Took a lot of tugging to get that beyotch un-stuck. Fortunately, no mildew. And the two-person tent that I haven't used is in great shape, no probs.

Members Zamfir Posted September 6, 2009 Members Share Posted September 6, 2009 Now the question is whether I can go take a shower and hope the cat doesn't shred either tent, especially the two-man one that only fits in the living room where he is. He's very good about not shredding most things, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not... It was just hot and humid in Virginia...waterproof fly fabric didn't like being wadded up for a few years... How do you explain to your son that you're in a band called "the reefer addicts"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the band name. They just have to pack a bowl at least 4 times per practice. My son, age 3, actually came to practice and hung out inside with pistol range ear protectors on while they did they toking out in the back yard. I don't mind so much since while they do that I sit inside making up bass grooves at full volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hearafter Posted September 6, 2009 Members Share Posted September 6, 2009 Last week, I bought 5 tickets to the Beaver's baseball game. For those of you that don't know, the Portland Beavers are the AAA affiliate of the San Diego Padres. Anyhow, for the last few months, it's been dry, sunny, and hot. Yester-{censored}ing-day, a cold front moved in, bringing heavy rain and winds. Odds are, the game will be cancelled. Normally I wouldn't really care, because the tickets would be good for another game, however, tomorrow is the last game of the season, and the storm is supposed to still be here. Damnit! Too bad I can't just trade the tix for Winterhawks (local WCHL Hockey team) ticets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
