Gah. My brain feels like it could leak out of my ears. The internship wasn't able to offer me as much money as they thought they would be. I'm taking it anyway because a) I need an internship and b) the experience will be good. Did some work for them today and then did some of my other work. I have a meeting on Monday which requires me to drive in. Hopefully, I will not be as brain mushy as I am today.

And now, more things to suck up your time!

First off we have Green Porno which is where a lady dresses up in ridiculous insect costumes and uses terribly cheesy props to tell you about that insects mating habits. Not work safe, but not graphic either. My favorite was the snails. XD

Next we have Dino Run which is a fun little game where you play an 8-bit velociraptor that must out run the dinosaur killing meteor while collecting eggs and eating critter. My favorite is jumping over stegosaurs.

miome really likes Taco Bell. I don't. I'll eat it occasionally (like every 4-6 months), but that's about it. We have a thing in our household where one of us will suggest a place to eat out, and if it's shot down, the person who shoots it down must pick. Miome will often pick Taco Bell in the hopes that I'll agree, or if not agree, then be forced to think of a place to go.

( Zomg! Adult Content! )

Also, Miome is going on a business trip soon. For days. DAYS! I'm going to miss her. ;_;

miome and I went out for Vietnamese for lunch today. At the end of the meal, we got fortune cookies. Of course, I automatically add "in bed" to the end. Today it produced this hilarious result:

"A man's greatest possession is a sympathetic wife in bed."

Maybe I should send all these penis enlargement emails to him. XD

I thought Christmas was bad. Christmas had nothing on Valentine's day. For the last month or so I have been forced to listen to commercial after commercial informing that the only way to show love is with DIAMONDS. Never mind that there are a plethora of other precious and semi-precious stones available. If you don't buy a girl a diamond then obviously, you don't love her, because plunking down several thousands of dollars for what is basically a hunk of solidified carbon is the only real sign of love.

Don't get me wrong, I love shinies as much as the next person. But come on.

So in a desperate attempt to prevent myself from twitching and foaming at the mouth every time one of these commercials come on I find myself replace words with others than are... well, a little less wholesome.

( Cut because it's not exactly work safe )

Eight more days until I don't have to listen to these commercials any more.

Miome: So I'm reading this forum where they are making fun of a comic book writer who's known for being very misogynistic.
Tsaiko: Oh?
Miome: Yeah, and the people on the forum are just running with it and taking it bad places.
Tsaiko: What kind of things is he saying?
Miome: Like how women will suck the light of creativity out of you. And talking about the "Feminine Void."
Tsaiko: Is that like the place guy's stick their penises in and then never get it back?
Miome: No honey, that's marriage.

Amazon.com's recommendations are terrible. I know I've talked about this before (People who own a PS2 also bought outdoor grill accessories), but it bears repeating. The recommendations are terrible. And yet... I can't stop looking. It's like watching a really bad, bad movie with a group of friends where you spend the entire moving completely trashing it. The recommendations are often so inexplicable that you can't help but click the next button to see what else it's going to cough up.

One of the books that often come up in the recommendations is Discreet Young Gentleman. Now I would not recommend clicking on that link at work or in a crowded computer lab. However, for those of you who have some privacy, go ahead and click.

The absolute irony of putting that title with that book cover is just amazing. When I think "discreet young gentleman" I picture some dashing guy from the Regency era dressed up in his finery, standing a little too close to the rake his sister is marrying or possibly a British navy officer from the Napoleonic war period back home from see his family casually touching the sleeve of his best friend for a little too long.

What I don't see is a "package" that's as big as the guy's head. Good lord. Let's hope he's the one on bottom or the other guy isn't going to be able to walk straight for a month. There's nothing discreet or gentlemanly about that cover. Then again, maybe that's the point.

Only reason I keep it on my recommendations page is every time I see it, I dissolve into laughter. It brightens my day. Though sadly, it seems to have fallen off in favor of 20 million books about cartography.

As a side note, I kept typing "discrete" into the Amazon search agent and wondered why I couldn't find the book. A long, hard look at the results full of mathematical books finally clued me onto the fact that I was using the wrong word. ^_^;

Holy...

OMG, Ritter, I need a drabble not porn! You always do this to me. I try to write smut and you're all coy and stand-offish. I try to write a drabble and you just whip it out. You slut. No, your boyfriend being in dragon form does not make it all better.

I swear, sometimes I just want to kill my characters.

The Dildo Diaries.

Not work safe mostly because of subject matter. This is a video about the hoops you have to jump through in order to buy a dildo... excuse me an "educational model" in Texas. Hysterical and kind of sad.

Miome and I got to meet up with maderr, starparty, skylark97, and mechante_fille yesterday. It was loads of fun. First, we went to the Pirates exhibit which was the awesome. Then we ate. Then I subjected them to Omnyoji and Omnyoji 2. There was more delicious, delicious food. I wish we could have stayed for twice as long. I agree will Skylark. We need to all move closer together (and tygati needs to join us!).

Of course, no drive is complete without Miome and I getting lost. Which we did at 11:30 last night in fucking Indianapolis. It was quite frankly the most ridiculous thing ever. We made it home sometime around midnight.

Harry Potter Book Disguises: definitely NSFW.

I loved all the really bad, non-subtle HP references in this: "Phil Ossiferz Stone," "The land of absolutely no wizards or anything like that," and my personal favorite "The Prisoner of Ass Cabin."

Tsaiko: I see you've been on a Tsubasa kick lately.
Miome: .. yeah. ^_^;;;
Miome: 'Oh look, new source of fluff!'
Tsaiko: Yaoi included.
Tsaiko: Vampirism optional.

And then later on:

Miome: Is space alien kosher? I get the terrible feeling someone has actually answered this question.
Tsaiko: *dies*
