3153 Ellwood, Berkley MI

Bam, that's my house in about a week and a half. The place is seriously big, 2200 square feet. It even has 2 tiny bedrooms that we'll have empty in case someone stays the night or something. The insides are all torn up right now as Alysse's dad completely re-does the kitchen (with granite counters) and completely finishes the basement. Unfortunately the basement is actually going to be rented to another of Alysse's friends so we can't use it to hang out, but at least that means utilities will cost even less (and according to her dad he installed a 95% efficiency heater so our heating bill will be crazy tiny). It's gonna be awesome and I can't wait to move in. I think we're gonna have a housewarming BBQ around August 1st but I'm sure people can hang out there before then too.

Crazy.

It's pretty brutal seeing how close we came to getting Bin Laden at the Battle of Tora Bora but failed due primarily to decisions that, while not necessarily bad decisions, were wrong.

the CIAs SAD and Delta Force knew where he was, they were there and had him cornered and they needed the only avenue of escape closed off, requesting 800 Army Rangers to be placed near the Pakistan border to seal it. Instead of granting that, it was decided to have the Pakistani National Guard close of their side of the border, I assume because they didn't like the idea of a bunch of Rangers that close to Pakistan (Pakistan may view it as a threat). But the Pakistani National Guard, who have worked with Bin Laden in the past, didn't seal the border and allowed him to get away into Pakistan.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news, I got a house over in Berkely apparently. I was informed today by Holly that her friend Alysse (who we'll be rooming with) and her dad had purchased a house in Berkely. Apparently it's a "huge" 3 bed 1 bath place almost on 12 mile about a mile off Woodward. Also it supposedly has a Den that could be converted into another bedroom if we wanted to (but it will most likely become a study). It also has a basement, but I don't know if it's finished or not. I do know the basement has a toilet in the middle of it that Alysse's dad plans to build a bathroom around. We hope to move in around July 27th so by then I'll have cash for rent and such.

Speaking of rent, Alysse is awesome. We had previously been looking for an apartment or cheap house round here near 250ish a person and were having a hard time. Alysse really wanted a house and her dad thought it would be a brilliant idea that, since she is starting a 4 year degree at Wayne Med School, to just buy a house here for cheap, have her live there for 4 years, then flip and sell it once she's a doctor. She current makes a lot of money working for some laboratory so she had a much bigger budget for a place than me and Holly, which was frustrating her as our budgets were limiting what we could get. So she and her dad are going to be in charge of the mortgage, her paying like 600/mo on that while me and Holly will pay the taxes on the house, which total are like 375/mo. So between the two of us we're paying less than 200/mo for the place and all 3 of us will split utilities. It's an awesome deal and I'm pretty psyched for it. We'll have 2 fairly large TVs and lots of furniture already so we'll be well set for people to come hang out.

it's back....

Season 10, Episode 4 is a great place to start. Or Season 9 Episode 4 if you want to see them take a road trip in America.

New Dethalbum II comes out in September

I have discovered that I can build a work desktop (something not for gaming, just basic needs, internet, word, email, stuff like that) for about $200, which isn't bad. Add $100 bucks for a monitor and for $300 you can have a system running XP (which you can't find anymore).

So I'm thinking about taking an MSF course at Schoolcraft sometime this summer just as something to do, was curious if anyone else would be interested in taking it with me so I'm not by myself. It's like $25 bucks plus a weekend of your time.

I had a girl today in my Anthropology class play World of Warcraft through the entire class on her laptop.

I find that depressing. I suppose it's good that she at least went to class unlike some of the other WoW-ers that just completely stop going anywhere and drop out of school.

Star Trek was AWESOME. A really great adaptation of the Original Series. All the cast did a really good job of putting a new spin on all the characters so that they weren't just copying the originals. The plot itself was well done and interesting. ILM, of course, did an awesome job with the visuals of the ships and such.

Overall I absolutely recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. They did a really good job of making it not just a movie for Trek fans. There are certainly references that are funny but nowhere near anything that would keep someone who knows nothing about the show from enjoying the shit out of it.

The only thing I'm confused about is how Starfleet apparently crews it's ships with a million 20 year olds and one old Captain to act as parent, and in the case of the Enterprise, they don't even have that, it's a bunch of 20 year olds led by a 20 year old flying in Starfleet's newest and best ship. Also, it's seems kind of unfortunate that Kirk's career advanced so fast that he's 20 and already in a captains position, something you're supposed to strive for to motivate you in the fleet. Where's the career advancement? He gets to now spend like 30 fucking years being captain of the same ship. Boring job. Now I better understand why he seems to go out of his way to pick fights and personally lead away teams during the show, cause he's fucking bored and has nothing better to do.

Pink Triangle - Weezer
"Might have smoked a few in my time, but never thought it was a crime"

Just realized that this may not be the reference to pot that I thought it was and may in fact be referring to smoking a pole. I never thought to see it that way.

I don't know if anyone ever watched Flavor of Love 3 or I Love Money 2 (I know I don't which is why I only just discovered this) but for anyone who does, the chick Ice? Yeah, she's in my Spanish class, I talk to her twice a week. I wasn't sure myself but it looked/sounded exactly like the girl in my Spanish class so I googled "Ice" to see if her real name was Amanda and lo and behold it is (It also says she works at Hooters, which I know the Amanda in my Spanish class does as well). So I hit up Ice's myspace and turns out she lives in Detroit. It's the same person, that's crazy.

she's actually a really fun person in class.

I feel lame being like "OMG I TOTALLY MET THIS PERSON FROM TV" but this caught me totally by surprise.

I don't suppose anyone would be interested in seeing Fast and Furious this weekend?

Those movies have always been one of my guilty pleasures.

If anyone's interested, there's another LAN going on at CMU that my brother and I are probably going to go to.

April 17-19
Leaving Friday night, coming back Sunday afternoon.

Cost is $15 if you pre-register on the website, $20 if you pay at the door
There's gonna be tournaments in L4D, TF2, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros.

Let me know if you might be interested, I'll be driving up so no costs to you if you ride with me, bring a little cash for food on Friday/Sunday (they feed you Saturday) and snacks.

It'll be fun, just ask my brother, the last one we went to was his first LAN and he seemed to have a pretty good time. If you need any games (aside from the Steam games) I can hook you up.

I thought this would be funny to read after the release today (soooo many calls about that movie... and yesterday asking if we would have a midnight release for it) but now I'm just scared.

Fountains of Wayne is an underrated group

09achube@gmail.com — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 02:13:30 GMT

have any of you ever been to http://conservapedia.com/?

It's the most amazing place I've ever seen. The Obama article alone is incredible.

I also recommend checking out a backup of the discussion that took place between the site founder Andy Schlafly and a number of his moderators regarding the legitimacy of Dawkins' title of "Professor". Long story short, despite many moderators presenting him with proof that Dawkins is in fact a professor, Schlafly decides that he didn't actually pass the criteria for the position. Everyone proceeds to tell him that he's clearly just making that up and is refusing to provide proof of his allegation. He then resorts to skewing the subject and calling those disputing him OMG LIBERALS.

Cheeseburger finally released the full version of "I'm Comin' Home" (a.k.a. the superjail theme song). I really like this song for some reason.
