PrintFilling up a fanpost to occupy 75 words is quite the task when you're struggling with the English language on a Friday, but here we are. Blah blah blah, insert forced joke here.
Use this thread for anything you'd like to talk about- the economy, Fringe season two, how disappointed you are with Muse's new album, and/or the new novel you plan to write this Fall.
Go Sharks.

dear Fringe,
I want to like you, i really do. But I had to take some time off to let you find yourself last season and stop making every story THE SAME DAMN THING. Walter is apparently not involved in everything that ever happened ever now, which is good, but then you give me serum that makes you go boom? And inter dimensional wars and all that. I didn’t like it when Star Trek did it, and I’m a pretty big sci fi fan.
Look, I can suspend disbelief really well, but you aren’t making me feel like I should come back. Just saying.
And Glee, well, we’ll talk later.

You know what pissed me off about Fringe the most this season? The fact that Charlie has apparently fallen victim to a bad case of Invasion of The Body Snatchers. I trust J.J. Abrams, and believe in what he can do, but goddamn Charlie was one of my favorite characters on the show.
Another show that’s got my interest is Flash Forward. It runs in the same vein as Lost and Fringe, and I’ve enjoyed the first two episodes*.
*You know what makes me giggle like a little school girl. This is sort of long winded so bear with me. JJ Abrams created LOST as well as Fringe. Sonya Walger plays Desmond’s wife Penelope in LOST. In Fringe, the main character’s name is Olivia Dunham. In Flash Forward, Sonya Walger plays a lady by the name of Olivia Benford. It’s really not all that interesting when I type it out, but I seem to find a connection there.

Also, Mark Benford (from Flash Forward) looks a helluva lot like Richard Alpert (from LOST).

Wait. . .
At first, I wasn’t exactly disappointed at Muse’s new album. In fact, I was slowly getting accustomed to it.
Then I listened to their old albums (Absolution, Origin of Symmetry) and then I realized how wrong I was. I guess we just have such high expectations for Muse now. If it was their first album, we’d all be raving about how magnificent it is. But it’s not.
However, Exogenesis: Symphony is pretty soothing to listen to.

I think it sucks for Chicago, and it’s a loss of a chance for the US of A to rock it’s socks again on the world sports stage BUT it also sucked for Tokyo and Madrid. I had no idea the Games had never been played in South America!

Apparently Chicago didn't lose the vote
The US Olympic Committee lost the vote for us. I was just reading something in the Tribune about how everyone on the IOC hates the US because we’re not “team players” when it comes to promoting the Olympics. Nevermind that most of their money comes from American companies, or that we provide one of the biggest audiences for the Olympics, Europe still doesn’t like us.
Oh well, as cool as it would have been to hop on a train and go watch some fencing, I’m glad we won’t have the financial mess that usually is the Games. My taxes are already high enough.

I think Chicago has more things to worry bout than the Olympics … I think the President should have been focusing on other things rather than bringing the Olympics to Chicago.
But yeah, good for Rio since it’s never been played in South America … it’s their turn to shine.

And my Spanish teacher is a dodgers fan. I thought that was okay considering I’m an A’s fan, but I’m hoping he doesn’t bring up that one guy who hit that home run that one time.
I don’t have any professors who have declared their allegiance to any teams yet, but my freshman seminar professor is a judge (he might be on California’s supreme court, but I’m not sure), and he was a lawyer for the NHL at one point, so that’s pretty cool.
Oh, and in that same seminar, there are three Sharks fans, one Wings fan, and one Blackhawks fan. Oh, and lots of Dodger fans, but I’m going to ignore them.

as to good comedy vibes … many other places to find that than giving money to hollywood when we should be sending them a loud message that we don’t tolerate them supporting a someone who would drug and rape a child … just think of the impact to hollywood if enough people stood up and said “we are not going to the movies this weekend” … just one weekend to protest their bullshit. it would send a loud fucking message that their actions are not acceptable.
tons of laughter around to be had … but I won’t pass up the chance to pass this msg and maybe even get one person to rethink going to the movies

But I chose to be unhappy with his defenders a different way. And I was feeling depressed so I really needed a happy vibes section. Being chronically unemployed sometimes gets to you when you’re on the job hunt. (rarely, but it does)
I also see movies so rarely that for me, not going to is pretty par for the course, so it wouldn’t be much of a stand on my end. 2 in the past 2 months is VERY rare for me.

it doesn't have to be gym based
but I was hoping to get experience in that setting before venturing out on my own. I know I need to know more before I start my own training business, and a gym is an easier way to meet and hopefully gain both clients and experience.
The gym also will cover my liability insurance until I can pay for it myself, which I can’t right now. And I was hoping to get the job to build up some cash for the business start up costs. I’m already paying for one, and I’d like to have some extra cash to cover the second.

Rant coming on
I don’t mind people who are loud until 1am, especially on Friday nights. We’re in college, that happens, I get it. But if you are in a suite of eight people (all of who went to bed at or before 1am because most have the flu), have a booze and pot-filled party in your room with around 15 people, and have it until 4:30am, I’m going to get pissed off. Especially if just last week you told us to keep it down at 1am because you had the flu. There are six other people in the suite, you can’t just do whatever you please.
Oh, and now both bathrooms and the hall smell like alcohol and weed. If the RA smells that, the entire suite will get written up. And there was a good chance that the over-sensitive fire alarms would go off because of all the weed, and if I had to evacuate the dorm at 4am, I would have punched somebody.

Ahhh memories
4 AM fire alarms in February (3 degrees outside, walking down 12 flights of stairs), getting written up for trying to sneak beer into the dorm, and being pissed at all the inconsiderate assholes who don’t care that their actions have consequences for other people. That last part doesn’t really get better as you go through college, but you learn to spot those people and stay away.

And not to get all motherly, but Chicago Shark has a solid point- you learn to spot those people and stay away. My dorm experience stunk at times, but you’ll learn so much about yourself that it is completely worth it.

Yeah, I’ve learned that already. Unfortunately, the girl who had the party was placed into our suite and we can’t really do anything about it.
Also, she and her friends did it again last night. The rest of my suite knocked on the door and told them to stop smoking weed in the dorm, because everyone will get in trouble. They said, and I quote, “We don’t care because we’re drunk.” Great.

you can always tell your RA
but that will cause some serious strife. Like, room or floor changing amounts of it. I saw friendships fall apart over a complaint to an RA. (not in my suite, in a friend’s downstairs from us)
Like Plank and Chicago said, you just learned to spot them and stay away. If you have friends in another suite, sleep in their room. And get earplugs. Trust me.
If you can lock your bedroom, do it.
The stories I could tell you about MY roommates…dorm life is an experience. That’s for sure. (Why are there dishes in the bathtub?)

As one who spent many semesters in college as an RA, I will tell you that it’s preferable for all if you can work it out between yourselves. I’m guessing that at the most, you’ll have to spend one semester with this person. She’ll likely fail out quickly if that’s all she’s spending her effort doing.
Best of luck.

Thanks! I wouldn’t normally be so pissed off about it, except I’ve had a lot of papers to write lately, and everyone has been sick (one girl has both pinkeye and the swine flu), so her throwing these parties that go until early morning just doesn’t fly.

those are a life saver. I lived next door to a bar before I moved to my current address, and I was lucky enough to get live music 5 nights a week, and a DJ on Saturdays. They also help when your roommates stumble in drunk at 4 AM and proceed to have a discussion on why one should/should not vote for Obama.
But seriously, the library is a great place to study/write. I practically wrote my master’s thesis in the library, as well as most of my grad school papers. That’s what it’s there for, and it’s quite, so take advantage.

I know it’s early in the season, but all my big name guys have been pretty terrible (Lecavalier, Heatley before last night). Most of my points are coming from my D and my unheralded wingers, like Dustin Byfuglien and Kimmo Timmonen (who the hell is that?).
It was especially frustrating last night when my boy Patrick O’Sullivan had the potential game winner in the slot with an open net with under a minute left, but put it wide. Meanwhile, the puck goes to Khabibulin who misplays it, giving Kipper (my matchup) his second win. Frustrating. But this is supposed to be fun, I’ll keep telling myself that.

because the Seinfeld reunion looks like it will be awesome. I haven’t seen much of that show, but the few episodes I have seen were pretty funny (Larry’s wife lets him pick another woman to sleep with, and of course he goes with the Hassidic dry cleaning lady, played by a still smoking hot Gina Gershon).

Sharks better be careful cause Columbus is coming out firing tonight. Luongo looks terrible and has been pulled after giving up 3 goals on 3 shots in the 2nd period. In the first period Ehrhoff got caught high, gave up a break and then took a penalty – don’t miss that defense.

Any PC builders up in here?
This past weekend, I swapped out the case and power supply on my desktop for this and this respectively. While my main reason was to make enough room (both physical and electric) for a future video card upgrade (my nVidia GTX 260 was cramped in the old case), it also brought the side effect of making the computer run much cooler and quiter as a whole – CPU’s now around 40 degrees C whn it was hovering around 50 degress in the old case. Of course it helps that the new case is much bigger, allowing air to flow easier, and has fan installation spots out of the wazoo.
Up next in my planned additions – some dust filters on the fans to keep the gunk out as long as possible, and Windows 7 final.
Now, you can follow my uninteresting life on Twitter.
Okay this is for the guys -

on Facebook mooning someone at a party with adult beverages. Needless to say, I untagged it and pulled it as soon as I saw it.

There used to be a store on Meridian called "Say Cheese"
where my mom would go for quick groceries and such. One day, after putting my two year old brother on the store counter to look for her check book, Robbie swiftly stood up, turned around, and mooned the store owner. There was some two year old but right at this guy’s eye level. My mom and I thought it was cute/hilarious.
The shop was sealed up two weeks later and never re-opened. I have no idea if the mooning led to the store’s closing.
Moral of the story? If you have a mischievious toddler, don’t pay by check. There’s way too much that can happen in the time it takes to complete the transaction.

Interesting happenings tonight with former Sharks
It looks like former Sharks head coach Ron Wilson has lost faith in former Sharks goalie Vesa Toskala with former Sharks target Jonas Gustavsson set to start his first NHL game against Ottawa featuring former Sharks Jonathan Cheechoo and Milan Michalek.

Random question
has anyone tried Yuki Sushi in downtown Willow Glen? I walked past there this morning on my way to breakfast and was wondering if it was any good.

Actually yes.
I think it’s good but I haven’t been there in a couple of years and I don’t even remember what I eat there.
It just opened two months ago. Iive about a block away and I have been about 7 times.
It’s great, and the ownership is awesome.

Something that can leave you a little unsettled ...
Driving into work this morning – I’m on 280 before the 19th ave and 280 split, and the lane I’m in is zipping along freeway speed, the lane to my immediate right (all those 3 lanes) are not. In fact, they are crawling along. But those in my lane and to the left are zipping along.
It’s commute time, but we are reverse commute, so altho not tonz of cars, still plenty – there is a car in front of me and I’m driving the same speed but enough space (thank the fucking gods!!) … this car (let’s just call him fucking idiot huh?) on the right (again the lane that isn’t zipping along … the lane that is crawling) decides to pull out right in front of the car in front of me.
Nothing like seeing an accident first thing in the morning. Just leaves you an unsettled feeling. Don’t ever ever pull in front of a car that is traveling much faster than you are. I’m sure that is in driving school 101. Definitely in common sense 101.
But this person clearly failed at both those lessons. God I hate idiots with a passion you can’t believe.
The car in front of me hit the other car with such an impact that his car went up on two wheels … I’ve seen that on dukes of hazzards … never for real. I would like to just see that on tv or movies pls. I had to slam on my brakes to keep from hitting anyone (again, thank you all the gods for the space I had between me and the other car).
I’m still shaking. And yes, my name has been left as a witness. Freaking idiot.

If we're going to have a deep conversation here...
I wouldn’t consider it a irrational fear. I’m willing to bet that most reactions from men would be “ew, gross” just like me. To the definition of irrational, that’s not irrational. Unless you consider all guys irrational which brings up another thing…
i think you're wrong
I don’t really care one way or the other, but a lot of guy I know become violently opposed to the idea of seeing male genitalia, making darn sure everyone knows they are grossed out. I personally always thought it had something to do with a fear of appearing gay, as homosexuality tends to be very unacceptable in a lot of male circles. That’s always been my theory anyway

I feel the gay thing has a lot of truth to it
which is why most guys in the locker room are vocally opposed to naked dudes. Once you’re older, it’s not as big a deal. The locker room in HS was a lot different than when I would go to the school gym during grad school. Naked old dudes running around (not literally, thank goodness), guys walking from the shower, all that stuff, and no one really thinks twice. I’m with idunno, for me it’s not that big a deal, mainly because I’ve seen them before, and I have the maturity to handle seeing them again.

new laptop!
Today, while I was working with my buddies on a project, my laptop’s graphics card crapped out. Since it was integrated with the motherboard, we junked it (but not before taking it apart and saving any salvageable parts) and I bought myself a new Asus eeePC which I’m typing from now. Really enjoying using it, although this will be my work PC – no way will it replace my home tower for gaming.
RIP my old laptop, 2007-2009. Long live the eeePC!

I’m in that lovely land of “overqualified for entry level, under qualified for positions which require more experience/in different industries.” Capable and very quick to learn, but people don’t try to infer than from your resume.
resident cartoonist @CouchTarts Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!" Proud member of the "Don't Trade Marleau" Club
It was rough
I was offered a job at the end of April, then the budget mess finally hit, and the authorization kept getting delayed until they stopped keeping in touch (last month).
These days HR doesn’t have to infer anything from your resume because they probably have a stack 50 high to choose from. In my field you have to deal with walking the fine line of qualification too. Most “entry-level” jobs posted with government agencies require 3-5 years experience, which you can’t have if you’re an entry-level job-seeker. Then when you find one that doesn’t need that experience, you’re overqualified because you have a college degree… I got lucky to find an agency that was a good fit and that was hiring at the right time

yeah, it's a terrible market right now
I got lucky right out of college and landed a great gig because of an internship. Now days, yeah, I’m one in at least 100 trying to get a call for an interview and if you don’t match EXACTLY HR will toss you in the circular file. I’ve also been told that because I’m overqualified, I’m not wanted at a lot of places because odds are good I’ll split when the market picks back up. I don’t think anything beats being told that I’m “too creative” for a gig though. That one still amuses me.
They used to be willing to train promising but not quite qualified candidates. No one has the time or money for that now.
I’d be way more frustrated if I was you and I had an offer on the table but nothing every materialized AND no one was really keeping in touch. I’m really glad you were able to find something.

they’re coned shaped scratching posts. For scratching on instead of furniture or your leg.

On wednesday I took PLAN.
It’s the equivalent to the PSAT but for the ACT. The hardest part was filling out the name stuff. Seriously, it took half the test.
It doesn't actually matter (not that that will make you feel better, but I'm sure you did fine)
I didn’t do great on either and I still graduated college MCL and would have transfered in as an honors student, but the school only allowed incoming freshman to join the program. I was transferring in as a junior.
Suck it, standardized testing! Success is not measured by how well one knows calculus.

I did better on the SAT than the PSAT, and I actually took the PSAT later, so there’s really no correlation. PSAT is just for the National Merit Scholar thing and a way to fit yet another standardized test into the schedule.

I took the PSAT on Wednesday. I think I did fairly well, but the name fill in thing (similar to idunno) took longer than some portions of the test we were given.

Because I brought the mood down
I’m going to post this story a friend just posted on facebook and bring the mood back up.
Hanging out at a late-night Starbucks near Union Square getting work done. A man just walked in and said “EVERYBODY DOWN THIS IS A ROBBERY!!”. The barista said “Man, get the fuck outta here”, like this jerk had done this a dozen …times before. He turned around and left. All the customers started quietly laughing.
I said I wasn’t sure how to respond to that laugh, be scared, or just chalk it up to general City weirdness and he said:
He was holding a cardboard tube. I think that was the tip-off.
After that, I just started laughing.

2 questions that popped into my head
1. I picked up dinner at La Villa tonight. You know, the notorious Sharks deli. As I was walking out, I noticed a signed Creed CD. Has anyone else seen that?
2. Over the summer, I managed to use the SJ airport in the short time between the Sharks Cafe opening and Cheechoo’s trade. He had a picture (I think) and an oversized signature. Are either still there? If it’s gone, what replaced it, or who?

Should have come by my house. I live down the street from LaVilla.
I have seen the CD, and in my opinion, it makes the food marginally less delicious. Slightly, though.

Haha.
Are you saying that I should have come to your house for dinner, or just a social visit? The CD just struck me as odd because I’d never noticed it. I hadn’t been there in a while, so I re-found the Jamie Lee Curtis autograph. Creed just struck me as a little out of place in a deli that sells a “death sandwich”.

Long story shorter
I got a job because I am female. Making EOE reqs isn’t my idea of a good reason to hire someone and the job is basically work 12 hrs a day, get paid for 8, and be ready to drop everything, including family and friends for work. (he said this) And not just like every now and then, ALWAYS. Company before all.
I wasn’t even asked if I wanted the position. I was talked at (it was like a sales pitch) for 2 hours and then walked out and told to come back tomorrow (today) to get my uniform and fill out paperwork.
Oh and btw, work starts at 5am and you’ll probably be off between 8pm-10pm.
It reminded me a bit of the “pitch” I heard during my experience with a that conman thisb summer. And the guy talked like he owned the club, and kept trying to throw things out to impress me, but then would mention high turnover and oh, well, those people were so good, the moved on (when it became clear they’d left)
He also went over some questionnaire they have you fill out about customer service and spent like 45 minutes breaking down my personality flaws (based on this questionnaire, which anyone who’d done retail can fake their way through) and discussing what strategies he’d use to help me fix them. Which is all well a good, but this was my interview. Uhm, how about trying my work experience? Did you read my resume? Oh, no, you didn’t. Okkkk…….sighs

Anybody know how to keep dogs from shitting on your lawn?

"iaT"S FUCKINGE LIEK CONICO DO MAYO!!!!!111"
Mr. K. 5/5/2009
You can be a complete asshole, like my neighbor. He likes to try and intimidate me, even hit me once with a fishing pole. Of course, I purposely leave dog droppings on his lawn now, when I pick them up anywhere else.
If it’s about leaving dog turds, you pretty much have to catch someone in the act of walking away and embarrass them. If you’re nice to your neighbors, then they’ll probably yell at strangers when you can’t.
If this is about dogs using your lawn but the owner still picks it up, you’re going to need a fence (which would likely look worse than an owner bending down in your yard once in a while).
Jon Casey fan since '84
If it was the case that the dog was doing this on his nightly walk
that would be one thing. They dont walk the dog. They open the back door and let the dog out unsupervised.
I have also asked them 4 other times. They apologized and said they would make sure that the dog didnt get out again.
It’s pooped 7-8 times this week!

I have heard this (probably mostly BS)
tale that cayenne pepper mixed with water and sprayed over the chosen area will be a decent deterrent.
I also heard it stops squirrels from digging in plants. It doesn’t.
resident cartoonist @CouchTarts Endorsed by Mr. K on "CINCODEMYOOR!!!!!" Proud member of the "Don't Trade Marleau" Club
Cayenne did work for a while.
I was dusting the poop with cayenne so that when he came back and sniffed it, he would turn the other way.
I ran out of cayenne completely! Perhaps I should pick some up on the way home.
Someone suggested to me pouring bacon grease on the poop, so that when he comes back, he’ll eat all of the poop.
That seems mean to me, tricking him into eating his own poop.
"iaT"S FUCKINGE LIEK CONICO DO MAYO!!!!!111"
Mr. K. 5/5/2009
Dogs eat their own poop, whether it’s slathered in bacon grease or not. I don’t see how this would deter him. (see also: why it’s nasty to let your dog lick your face)
Your neighbors ultimately have to teach the dog where to go. If they aren’t willing to do that to dog is more than likely to keep wandering over to poop on your lawn. Cayenne or no.

I think the point of coercing the dog eating it's own poop
Is not as a deterrent, but rather a way to avoid having to scoop poop yourself. If the dog eats it, it will no longer be in my yard!
So I fill my yard with treats that the dog wants to eat. Not so smart!! Not to mention I would need to be cooking a lot of bacon to provide the grease to pour on so much poop.
