Conquest of the Planet of the Bride of the Son of the Return of the Open Bar

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Yeah, later.

More when I can be arsed.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Where the fuck is everybody, anyway? F5ing?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I don't care.  I had to take an extra sleeping pill last night, so I'm full of Holy™.  Which means the board is dead.



It ALWAYS works that way.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Well, I'm taking a nap at my desk, since the Holiness™ demands either manic ranting or sleep.

Today is, essentially, my Sunday. I usually spend it making sure family has yogurt, barreling past sweaty Republicans at the Costco. Today I watch Courage The Cowardly Dog with my son, he likes scary stuff a lot but not by himself.

Richter and I, as well as Navyguy and a mutual friend, attacked the local Indochinese place with great fervor last night. This is one of those places that give a disclaimer on their menu that their food is authentic, and not what you get at "normal" Chinese Restaurants. So, after starting OFF with pickled Thai green chiles, we moved on to the Cambodian Nime Chow and some Thai wings and shrimp and then whatever entrees we decided to order and inflict upon each other.

I'm pretty sure the Vietcong are currently moving through my intestines, and I haven't quite felt "right" since that pepper.

We regret nothing. NOTHING.


In other news, school is making me want to fucking kill myself. Why the FUCK am I doing this again?

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

I got nothing.

Does anyone know what Essex is like? Is it a nice place?

Edit: There's a chance I may be moving to the UK

Depends where in Essex you're looking at.  It does have a bit of a reputation in the UK for being our version of New Jersey and Florida all rolled into one, but it's not an entirely fair depiction.  Colchester, for example, is quite nice, especially once you learn which pubs the soldiers and students go drinking in.

Basildon, I don't know much about it. I am hoping for low crime, pensioners style area...

[Cain]

Crime is dropping the area - mostly petty theft and antisocial behaviour.  From what I know of it, it's mostly a commuter town for London - so often young families move there from out of the city, for more affordable housing and better quality of living.  New Town has a bit of a rep for being unpleasant, and it's not exactly a pretty place - lots of concrete, not much else. 

But it's not, for example, Glasgow.

Doesn't sound so bad. Kind of what I was hoping for really.

What is the best way to tell your significant other:

I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER FUCKING DOG. OR A CAT. OR ANYTHING THAT EATS, SHITS, SMELLS FUNNY, LEAVES HAIR ON THINGS, OR NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION. WE ALREADY HAVE 3 PETS, AND I DON'T EVEN WANT THEM AROUND MOST OF THE TIME.

But, you know, politely?

Have you tried not being V3X?  It'll probably go much smoother that way.

Seems reasonable on the surface, sure, but somehow I say "No" and she hears "You're not allowed to have anything, ever, and I hate your haircut."

[LMNO]

Um. Then why is she your significant other?
