I dunno what it is with Maya Rudolph, but I used to think she was really hot. Now I could do without her.

All of PT's films have either been straight out masterpieces, or at least spent long stretches in that category. I'll confess to never fully watching PunchDrunk Love, however

at some point there became this rule in screenwriting where every stitch of dialogue has to reinforce the theme. it's like 'the descendants' i liked it but they beat the theme into your head with a baseball bat |

I think he's a very talented filmmaker. I just watched "Boogie Nights" again on Sunday. It's hard to turn off. That said, I never liked "Magnolia". I found it very irritating overall.

Ya, I like my films to meander on occasion. It's not even just dialogue, the modern idea is that every shot has to "advance the story". To hell with that. |

So I'm sitting at the local overpriced grocery store and they read "will the owner of the Saturn Sky Convertible" please come to the front office, and then they bother to painfully and slowly read off the license plate. As if there would ever be a situation where two 30K "SATURN" two seater convertibles would ever be parked in the lot of anything in pennsylvania. The grand total of Sky's sold was somewhere around 30k nationwide, and I'm just guessing that PA is not the target market for convertibles. But whatever.
I think an old guy hit her car, but I'm not positive. Last edited by stevew : 09-13-2012 at 04:29 PM. |

So I missed out on the second half of FA in our OOTP league, and while I was able to solidify my OF hole, I signed zero SP's. I put up a trade block the day before opening day for pitchers, get about five teams interested and start negotiations (I need 2 pitchers, though I might be able to get by with just 1). Opening day sim happens...and my ace is out 4 months. In less than 24 hours, all but one person has cut off negotiations.
I am rather frustrated right now. |

I read a headline today that said, "ebay Straightens Out its Logo After 17 Years" and the only thing I could think was, "holy crap, ebay's been around for 17 years?!?"
I mean, yeah, thinking on it, I guess it has. But it doesn't FEEL like it... /tk

I hate when a check has a nice perforation to tear, but it is just above the fold in the paper, then the check rips at the fold instead of the perforation.

From the terrible news reporting files - a headline on kcal9's website this morning
"Metro Bus slams into tree in Downtown Los Angeles - injuring everyone involved" Everyone involved? Did bystanders and people driving past thirty minutes later spontaneously burst into flames at the sight? Am I about to get chest pains and a numb feeling in my arm just from reading this article? |

You mean we're smoking dog shit man? I swear, I really thought the unlikely nature of me posting that particular quote would get more love from the FOFC. Thanks for at least throwing me a bone.

Just when I think it is time to finally decide to not renew my subscription to Maxim, they go and do a multi-page feature on Sarah Shahi. Those bastards! I guess I don't have to make another decision now until 2015.

Last time I ordered one it was off of eBay, and that was for a Dell Inspiron. It lasted about 6 months, then I bought a whole new HP laptop.

Check on amazon, sometimes they have really good prices on the screen. That's where i got a screen for my previous laptop(13.3" Trashiba).
I looked at several places for the screen I need for this Envy and they are all like "call for price" Fuck that. |

Why is it you can re-edit your resume, make it work better, re-read it & make it perfect. Then go back a month later to make another edit and find such a glaring typo that you then think "why would anybody hire someone with that on the resume?"

Or go back later and find some part that just sounds poorly worded and passive, and wonder how you were ever happy with it.

"I want you in the worst way."
After hearing this in a song today, for the first time I actually thought about this line. What is the worst way to want someone? I can do no better than "postmortem." |

Im a 37 yr old comptetitive fatass that tanked it from third to home last night over my damn two feet.
I landed all 230 lbs on my left shoulder....yeah, it's separated and I hate the doctors. It's the same shoulder and surgery that forced me to hang up my cleats for football too.

I sell records on discogs.com
A potential buyer wrote me: Quote:

Maybe he watches American TV, and was giving you the ol' discount double check.

Might need to go the "figure out the cost on your own" route.
Or maybe she just doesn't want you to go and you'd be cool with that SI

How the fuck is it considerably cheaper to fly into Orlando, rent a car and drive to Daytona, spend 2 nights in Daytona than it is to fly into Daytona in the morning and leave in the evening.
