Louisana lawmakers propose prayer to stop oil disaster

Yeah... There's no way this could not work.

To quote Least I Could Do's Ryan Sohmer:

Wherever my beliefs may lie, even the most religious among us should take offense to this.

God didn’t drill a well 15,000 feet under the ocean floor with faulty equipment. God didn’t elect corporate sponsored officials to run our government. God didn’t sit back for 60 days letting a corporation handle one of the largest ecological disasters in history, to serve their financial interests.

We did.

This is our mess. We should be the ones to clean it up.

Glorious double-layer moist chocolate-y goodness from HungryPac.

I still love it, even though their cake has gotten a little too sweet for me since I was introduced to them-- we were given a slice each back when I was working for the R&D department of Information Gateway (now XyberSolutions) by the Sun team (yay, Sun babes!).

Two cubes and half-a-liter of full cream milk makes for a great night's sleep. :D

But, yeah... I'm going to be shitting bricks tomorrow. :(

(P.S., the big knife shown in the pic was the one I used to slice up the cake. It's got chocolate smudges because I licked it all off right after I finished slicing the cake up.)

Switching to tea from coffee until my migraine goes away

Looking for a pick me up, so I decided to make a cup of Earl Grey.

Found six boxes of Earl Grey tea in the cupboard. All of them bought by me. I don't remember buying all of them, or why I would think I'd need that much.

Must be my inner Picard telling guiding me in my choice of caffeine source.

(Hehehe... Having fun with Tumblr's tags: Trekkans should be able to spot what I'm talking about. :P)

The Philippines should have a DNC list...

By DNC, I mean Do Not Call. I'm sick and tired of having to interrupt a coding session to answer the phone only to have an obviously inept telemarketer look for my grandfather who's been dead for more than 20 years.

This is why I probably won't have a landline in the house in Cavite.

Not that cellphones are immune. I've had at least six different, previously-unknown phone numbers try to call and/or SMS me loan offers. And I can't fucking figure out how they got my phone number. :(

Poor 360 and PS3 fanboys...

Reading E3 posts from GamesRadar, as well as a few other places.

I find it extremely funny that the makers of the "real consoles" are scrambling to get a piece of the motion control pie (with the requisite "my waggles are better than your waggles" bickering thrown in, of course), while Nintendo's showing it has moved on to "real" games.

FUCKING GOLDENEYE REMAKE! Woo!

Now that their overlords have jumped onto the waggle train, I'll bet the fanboys won't be so quick to disparage motion controls. In fact, I'll bet the uber fanboys are going to figure out a way to praise motion control while still putting down the Wii.

Except Wii owners won't even notice, since all of us aren't "real" gamers, anyway.

(Oh, hey, 360 owners: Good luck with the tigger-petting thing Kinetic's offering early adopters. Also, the Michael Jackson dance game)

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

Wolverine: ... you look like one of those emo kiddies they've got all over the Internet, jibbering on about how hard their life is, when they've never even know true pain.

Spider-Man: Oh my ghod... You have a My Face page, don't you?! Dork!

Wolverine: I do NOT!

Spider-Man: Haha! You totally do!

Wolverine: Shut up, kid!

Spider-Man: Will you add me as a friend? I'll poke you, you poke me back!
