Probably, but I need to go deeper.

This gives me a vibe of "Self-Indulgent Lady Liberty" or something like that...

Damn SB is really messed up these days.

It used to be just a little while in the evening but now it's pretty much impossible to access most of the day.

Why is it that Kier just doesn't seem to give a fuck?

Seeing Steven Seagal in TRUE JUSTICE made me sad because he's very large and nuzzles people roughly with his assault rifle :failure:

I put together a new computer yesterday. I had gotten the board all set up and put in the case and was testing the memory, making sure each module works in each slot, when I noticed half way through that the cpu fan hadn't been plugged in the entire time and that it failed to scream its head off at me about it.


dammit asus :argh:


In other news Hyper 212 evos apparently do a decent job cooling i5-3570ks passively at stock.

Note to writers and staff of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Four droids and a frog stealing an enemy decryption key is not worthy of a four episode-arc. Especially when you kill off the only interesting character in it in his introductory episode.

:brah:

I'm pretty sure I said it before but I'll say it again: this was a one episode story stretched into four episodes for no good reason.

Now to be fair the last two episodes were pretty good. Yes, even this latest one. That said they were stories that could have - and frankly, should have - been told in another manner with different characters. Especially Gregor.

They didn't even use the fucking encryption key at all. It would have been one thing if that was the reason they ended up on the Cruiser Bomb but no, they literally just stumbled into it by blind luck plot convenience. And from Anakin's reaction when they first showed up, it seems to me that the Jedi Cruiser was supposed to be there meaning some Jedi or non-Jedi Admiral/General should have been on it but is now (presumably) dead but whatever who cares about that potentially interesting plot in favor of Colonel Frog and Annoying Pilot Droid? Or even the general question of how the Seperatists managed to hijack a Jedi Cruiser seemingly intact at all.

But whatever. It was still a decent episode and even though I know they can't do an Umbara arc all the time, I'd rather something like the Rebels on...whatever planet that was or even more Younglings over a story that just felt like they were pulling things out of their ass to make an excuse to drag it out for four parts.

EDIT: Though in all fairness having Hondo conveniently decide to attack that Youngling training ship was a little forced, too. Granted he did have a decent reason (stealing lightsaber crystals from an "easy" target) but the question of just how exactly he knew about it in the first place was never really addressed so it felt kinda shoehorned in.

The important thing to do is remain calm, and take stock of your situation before progressing further. You have undergone a significant trauma, and you'll be in shock for the next few hours, but the effects can potentially be counteracted by sufficient amounts of alcohol applied orally. This can, in significant doses, have the effects of killing the now-malignant brain cells containing the information absorbed during this terrible event.

IMHO, they should've kept Gregor alive, and tied the cruiser hijack into his mission. Like he didn't vanish at the battle of whatever, he and his team were tasked with investigating the disappearance of the Republic cruiser and a ranking admiral who was due at the strategy conference. Something went wrong, the rest of his team was killed, and he lost his memory and ended up on the planet. You could have him regain his memory when they come across the bodies of the other commandos in his squad on the ship, and you could have him sacrifice himself aboard the ship to set the bomb of early rather than doing the pointless fake-out with R2.

That sounds far better than what we got. Plus two episodes with Gregor would be awesome.

Sadly this was not the case. :(

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving.

So I went to Union Square to buy groceries, and I see a crowd of people in their underwear. Guys and chicks, and some dude in a Spiderman costume hanging from a tree. (The guy behind him had no pants.) Keep in mind it's in the 40s outside. There was also some improvisational pole dancing.

So I got a paper accepted at a relatively prestigious Anthropology conference.

My paper is a critique of Anthropocentrism.

I may be shanked.
