So I work at a local mom-and-pop coffee shop, and we often get funny orders just cause we're different than Starbucks. But today we got a customer who was confused for a totally different reason. She seemed pretty chill at first, this lady, who walked in with her mum. But as her eyes played over our menu, she opened her mouth and BAM RED FLAGS ERRYWHERE. "I'll just have an expresso." Before my supervisor and I can even give each other the ol' sidelong glance like "oh no" she tags on "Oh, a
It was amazing. I don't want to put any spoilers here (though really if you haven't seen it you shouldn't have clicked ), so I'll suffice with saying that it was an excellent movie. There are some parts that I would've liked to see done differently, and there are some parts that absolutely blew me away. Aw, whatever, I've gotta get into a few specifics. If you haven't seen the Hobbit, guard yourself and turn away! First of all, I have to say that the opening sequence was easily one of the
Aaaaand we're back, ladies and gentlemen, for the biggest event of the year! (not really) Below are the 24 dazzling (some more than others) contenders for my next screen name! Every day, the bottom six names will be eliminated, and those remaining will be re-posted so you can all vote again. By the end of the week, only one name will be left standing! Without further ado: Tyler Is Love Tyler is Life Everything is Awesome Comfy Cushion Seat Upper-Left Kidney Philbert The Great "Ey, Ru!" B
Day four! Over halfway through a week of eating no meat! Breakfast was cereal, which I usually don't care for, but I was in a hurry and anyway I'll probably be eating more of it because it's quick and also vegetarian. Lunch was a salad () and a scone. Supper was an interesting affair. I attended a young adult potluck at my church, and brought chick pea curry and rice as my dish (it's vegetarian, so it was my failsafe in case nobody else brought something I could eat). Fortunately, there was
It is now Day 2 of the name change polls! Here are the names that were eliminated last round: Guy Who Licks Gravy Eel Your Rump Understands A Malicious Individual* Sneaky Peeky Eyru *This name actually received one vote, but apparently IT is not an acceptable name, and would be reverted were I to use it. Thus, it is eliminated! Ladies and gents, here are your remaining choices! Eyru - 0 Eyru Salad - 0 Eyrumpelstiltskin - 1 Great and Powerful Eyru - 0 Delicious Chocolate Milk - 3 Mushroom
I remembered that I would be able to change my name yesterday, but I totally forgot to make a blog entry about it! Anyway, let's make up for lost time and get started! You may now suggest names for me to adopt for the next 45 days. I will accept any name, except for ones that break the rules, obviously. There are no special stipulations this time, but keep in mind that I won't use names similar to ones I've used in the past! This means that strings of gibberish and [member's name] is awesome
It's a book by Patrick Ness, inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd. I picked up this book because many Ambagers were raving about it. I'll be succinct: it's a beautiful book. The characters are immediately engrossing, and the atmosphere of the book immediately sucks you in, aided in no small part by Jim Kay's illustrations, which are nothing short of hauntingly brilliant. It's about a boy named Conor, who is visited shortly after midnight by a monster. Not the monster from his nightmare, the
Hey guys. Long time no blogging. Hopefully I'll start reversing that trend. (if only I knew what to blog about!) Anyway, I've got a new project in the works. Those of you who know me or have seen me around know that I'm mostly into writing, either in the BZPRPG or in the Library (albeit infrequently). This time, however, I've decided to try something completely new, something completely outside my comfort zone. I've been working on it for some time, but I didn't want to share anything until I
So, I just noticed that my blog is quickly (or not-so-quickly) approaching both 200 entries and 1,000 comments. I was thinking it might be nice to celebrate one of these occasions with something special. I was contemplating holding a contest or something in my blog, with the winner receiving a Real Prize. Or maybe holding a draw for an Authentic BIONICLE Piece. You know, something special and fun. Give me your feedback and/or ideas? I want to make it special, and I want it to be fun, just be
Bionicle (stylized as BIONICLE) was a line of contraction toys created by the Lego Group marketed primarily for 5-to-16-year-olds. Originally a sub-theme of Lego's Technic series, the line was initially launched in early 2001 in Europe andAustralia and the following summer in North America and over the following decade became one of the Lego Groups's biggest-selling properties. The theme's concept is based on two earlier Lego themes that featured characters based onclassical elements and incorpo
Do you ever have one of those days where something really just gets up in your face and grinds your gears? Uhh, bad wording: I bet you're all picturing that Peter Griffin meme that pops up every few weeks on Facebook like a pimple on my news feed. I'll try again: you ever have one of those days where something rubs you the wrong way and you just about burst like a broken fire hydrant? Yeah, me too. (I usually do better with the metaphors, jsyk) Those who know me are aware that I don't get
This is it, ladies and gentlemen! The final two names have been decided on, and let me tell you: it was an extremely close margin! Here are the four names that have been eliminated, along with their scores: Delicious Chocolate Milk - 13 Mushroom Exterminator - 3 Simon - 9 Tuna Flakes 20 - 3 The final two names had scores of 14 and 15, so it's obvious that it was a close race, with Delicious Chocolate Milk being nudged out by just one vote! I personally love the name, but the you, the voters,
