  1. my kid is banned from violent videogames when he beats me at them. i can't get shown up by a 10 year-old.
  2. it's not the real 930 club, it's the new 930.
  3. this is the dude. he abides. we adopted him last month. he's a retired racing greyhound.
  4. matewan is excellent, and will is a very major character.
  5. i have autosync off and it remained off when i went to 7. be forewarned, the big improvement is gapless play, and itunes will read/analyze every single song for the gapless setting, so it'll be running a while after you restart the application the first time.
  6. once i found the eyeball icon to quick browse the artist/albums, i was less pissed by the reconfigure. i liked the green note more than the blue. everything is blue.
  7. my sincere sympathy, redshift. my grandma died horribly of emphysema and that convinced me to cut down/quit. when her husband died of heart failure (related to smoking and diet), i chucked my smokes. i smoked pack and a half a day for about 5 years and quit cold turkey. nothing else worked for me. when you set your mind to something, you can really do amazing things.
  8. i'm sure they'll work something out. i loved his test of hungarian fluency.
  9. stephen colbert now has a hungarian bridge named after him. sweet. this ends my electoral losing streak.
  10. my son's computer has a few thousand nintendo roms on it and we play them with a ps2 style usb controller that cost $20.
  11. i'll pick it up after the first price drop.
  12. in ohio, you have always had to bring your registration card but no one asked for it. you have to sign in to affirm you are who you say you are (under penalty of law) and that's it. the ID requirements here are so loose that it isn't an undue burden to bring ID, but the problem is that they aren't exactly going out of their way to mention it to anyone. this is a brand new restriction and it's getting nothing in the press.
  13. yeah, ohio used to be cooler (not cool, but cooler). voter registration forms were printed on mcdonalds tray liners. you could almost register in french fry grease. now you need cardstock paper and black ink only. plus, this year you need ID to vote, and they aren't really bothering to let anyone know. fuckers.
  14. is it like this where you live? in ohio, if you fill out your registration in any color ink but black, it is not valid. only registrations on 80 lb paper (cardstock) in black ink count.
  15. i've only been in one band where people wanted an encore, but we didn't have anymore songs because we played them all (not expecting an encore). we just played some covers we all knew and never practiced together. that was a really fun show. i wish more bands would do on purpose what we did off the cuff.
  16. i tried to register as "socialist", but ohio only has democrat, republican and independent. i felt like a hermaphrodite trying to use a public restroom.
  17. our area upgraded to optical scanner (bubble sheet voting). we UPGRADED to technology developed in the 40s/50s.
  18. there's very little i'm stoked over. i'll pick up the drag the river reissues more than likely.
  19. fleming was unique though. he was ex- MI-6 and brought a realism to bond that the movies kind of killed. i am not sure bond can really make a post-cold war leap as a current agent would be fighting a stateless organization, and that doesn't reverberate as well as an evil nation-state.
  20. that's one thing kevin and i can 100% agree on without a doubt. hope you're finding peace today, mart.
  21. that was a beautiful fish indeed. the pics of car mirror portraits made me think of this pic from my gram parsons pilgrimage this past summer. here's a pic of me and my dog. his name is "the dude" (no, he has not peed on my rug).
  22. i'm voting in ohio. i heard blackwell has already certified the final election totals!
