Emo Emo Emo.
Sad Sad Sad.

All I did today was watch the Matrix Trillogy. Everything sucks.

Caleb said...

Come to Cincinnati.

_J_ said...

How much does it cost to live in Cincinnati per month?

Andrew said...

depends on your standards.

_J_ said...

How much does food + rent cost?

Roscoe said...

..... Alex Dayton plus two Science Major friends from Wisconsin.... have left for the Creationist Museum.

I suspect flames in Kentucky tonight.

_J_ said...

They do realize tickets to enter are around $75, right?

_J_ said...

Acer apparently bought Gateway.

Figure that one out.

Roscoe said...

supposed to be only 20 bucks.. and.. they printed off 2 dollar off tickets.


Acer? Really?

_J_ said...

Yeah. Figure that one out.

Caleb said...

If you share a room in a two bedroom apartment you could pay as little as $200 per month. Soup, I believe, costs the same as elsewhere.

_J_ said...

$200 per month?

...my god. I'd be set for months! And while there are no discounts on soup in that area soup is also not any more expensive!

This plan has merits...

Now I must see if there are any comedy clubs in that area whereat I can begin my career as a stand up philosopher.

_J_ said...

Oh God Damn It!

I just accidentally deleted a folder of the new website I'm making and I don't have a backup.

>:(

Roscoe said...

So...I think I need to play Space Giraffe. How can I get Xbox Live in Young?

_J_ said...

Hook your Xbox up to the network?

Kylebrown said...

What kind of shitty ghetto do you live in which rent only costs $400/month?

My crappy apartment with only 2 windows and 900 sq.ft. cost me $720 and that wasn't including any of the bills but water...

_J_ said...

In their defense they didn't comment on the likelihood of being shot while getting the mail.

MA17 said...

The the contract with the people who provide the arcade machines by the bowling alley on campus has come to its end, and the people are trying to renegotiate, and apparently the campus is unwilling, so at the moment there are exactly zero arcade games in that room, and nobody knows when or if they will return. Not cool.

_J_ said...

Bastards!

Sounds like IU needs an Arcade Club and a budget.

Kylebrown said...

wow, I blame the douche bag of a manager, running the place, a.k.a. John Bower. I hate that guy so much.

Kylebrown said...

on a side note, is pinball guy still at school? And if so, has he gone on a shooting spree as a result yet?

Roscoe said...

Or.... mafia connections and a sweet job running the 'arcade'.

Roscoe said...

In addition, my sympathies.

_J_ said...

"And if so, has he gone on a shooting spree as a result yet?"

Man, shooting sprees never stop being funny.

MA17 said...

Judging by the lack of gun-related injuries, I must assume that pinball guy is gone.

Some of the machines that were in the union are now apparently at the mall, which means all the scores have been reset, so with three quarters I was able to secure the top three high scores in Strikers: 1945, and judging by the 4th - 10th spots, they should stay there for some time. While the machine was on campus, however, that stuff could and would change at a moment's notice sometimes. Good ol mall with its good ol nobody going there to play a video game.

_J_ said...

Is the Mall inconveniently far from you? Or is it naught but a merry jaunt away?

I don't know why I'm talking like that.

MA17 said...

It'd be unwise to walk (or...jaunt?) to the mall from here, but by car it is rather close. It isn't, however, in a place where I can kill ten minutes between classes.

Also, I used to think that the East Asian Languages and Cultures department got kind of unfairly pushed around (classes being moved mid-semester into bad locations), but it turns out that such crap is fairly typical (among the non-huge departments, I suppose). I haven't been moved yet (though my Japanese class probably will not stay where it is for long (there are 23 students in a room meant for like 16)), but I have two Classical Studies classes, one in the GEOLOGY building and the other in the JOURNALISM building. Classics, like EALC, has no real home, but there are a couple of buildings where you can expect to meet, and when we don't meet there, it's a bit frustrating (Geology is not really in a convenient location.) I bet the precious BUSINESS school doesn't have to put up with this.

_J_ said...

Those Business Students can't learn to tie ties in just any building! They need their special tie tying rooms!

Is it cheaper to mail a package using the Mail Package Mart (UPS) or the Post Office? I need to send 3 of the star wars ship cards to someone.

Kylebrown said...

yeah I had that happen multiple times with my comp sci classes. And we actually had our own building. Problem is the labs were constantly being taken over by classes from outside our department.

_J_ said...

I'm glad my major didn't require labs.

MA17 said...

Try these:
USPS Postage Rate Calculator
UPS Calculate Time and Cost

_J_ said...

Thanks!

I keep having no time to go to the post office.

_J_ said...

hehehe.

Tom DeLay was on Hardball.

Oh, Tom DeLay. You should know better than that.

Roscoe said...

man.. why WAS Delay on my tv? I'm DONE with him.. that was the deal!



stolen from YAD, and totally jumping topics-
"And finally, in the only news not about bathroom sex or attorneys general all week, a production company has announced they have acquired the film rights to a video game. That video game, I shit you not, is JOUST.

Yes, Joust, in which behelmeted pixelly dudes on flying ostriches attempt to hit each other with their jousting poles while skittering around ledges and picking up eggs. The producers say they envision a "Mad Max meets Gladiator" kind of story, but those fuckers had better be faithful to the source material.

Because I'm going to bring a nerd posse with me to opening night, and if ONE SINGLE MOTHERFUCKING OSTRICH JOUSTER kills his opponent from underneath, we will start a fucking riot that will live for the ages. If you want to see this movie opening night, I suggest you take public transit, because the odds are good that afterwards, there will be parking lots full of upside-down, burning cars."

_J_ said...

OMG You Are Dumb Spoilers!

I HATE You Are Dumb Spoilers!

_J_ said...

5 minutes until the weekend, butt fags!

Caleb said...

it's 625 that Andrew and I split. Jay would pay 1/3 with a discount for actually showing up.

_J_ said...

I like this idea of a "Jay shows up discount". Because, really, that's the sort of insentive I need.

_J_ said...

There is a television show called, "Scott Baio is 45 and single".

I hate this planet.

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.

Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.

You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn a couple of cents for that: I would feel happy and rewarded (because I realy need it!!!) if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all, however, blogocitizens must unite also by clicking-helping eachother when we know cybermegacorporations profit from our own selfishness regarding to that simple click.

About this I must say, by my own experience, that no one realy cares (maybe a few) about this apeal I make, still I believe in my Work and Dreams and thus I'll keep on apealing and searching so strong is my will.

I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!

MA17 said...

In the coming war between blogocitizens and cybermegacorporations, I only hope that there are no survivors.
