Your chance to sponsor me (and more importantly my mustache) for the United Way is drawing to a close! Movember is up in less than a week!
Only you can justify this horrible ’stache.
Accepting pledges in comments!
I don't normally just link to someone else's content without adding my own stuff on top, but I don't have much to add here other than to say that I say this same thing EVERY TIME I GO TO A RESTAURANT WEBSITE!
Heroes this year has been frustrating. It's been slow to get to the action… the new characters haven't been that compelling, and the plot arch just hasn't been as compelling.
What's really been bugging me though is that this entire season is based on good people working with evil people, but just not quite picking up on the fact that they're evil.
Other good people show up to try and stop the evil people, but then the good people fight each other and the duped good people beat the non-duped good people while evil stands there smirking.
It's an okay plot device, once in a while, but it's happened THREE TIMES in tonight's episode alone!
You know what other show used misunderstandings and misinterpretations on every episode? Three's Company.
And now, having just watched it, they totally spoiled the conclusion to the series in the "coming next week in the season finale".
Honestly, how could a show I like so much have gone so far wrong?
If I hadn’t tipped off this was about potato chips, would you have figured it out at all? Or at least before the last frame?
The Japanese sure do things differently.
I am doing this for the United Way in the spirit of Movember. In fact, I wear a sticker all day at work to explain why I look so idiotic.
Today after a meeting, the traditional mustache mockery commenced, but this time, it was a new bunch of people who I hadn't hit up for donations before, so I turned the mockery into a round of "Hey, sponsor me so I have a reason to grow this horrible mustache," and I was rather successful, with a bunch of folks in the room signing up.
Then, I turned to a guy that I know fairly well but don't work with too often, looked him right in the eye and said, "So? You wanna get on board this too?"
Fortunately a) he didn't interpret it as per the picture to the right and b) he's a guy, otherwise, I would be blogging about this incident from jail.
(You see, I meant get on board the donation train, not my mustache.)
Mustaches are dangerous.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is on TV right now. I've seen it before, twice (kinda). The first time was an illegal copy from the Internet and I assumed that the poor camera work was why it was so terrible. The second time, I knew the truth, the movie was just awful.
Now it's on again, and I'm watching it, again? Why?? Am I that dumb? Am I that much of a masochist?
I think it's because I WANT it to be good. It's a cool idea. A cool idea defiled and destroyed by whoever the director and writers, whose name I won't even bother looking up, were.
So… Captain Nemo is a Sikh, who has a submarine larger than an aircraft carrier, with crystal chandeliers and 20 foot ceilings, that can drive down the canals of Venice long enough to disgorge his 6 wheeled car, which he then drives around on all the roads of Venice. In 1889.
What am I doing, why am I starting to list the flaws, I'll be here all night. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
Don't watch this movie, ever, it snares your mind.
Today the blog is finally fixed. Stupid MySQL.
But the real history is this … for the first time, my mustache whiskers are longer than the hair on Timmi’s upper neck!
If you’re a betting person, I wouldn’t bet on that trend lasting too long.
Guitar Hero has done interesting things to how I think about the world around me. The other day I was walking past the TV and I heard an awesome guitar riff and immediately thought, "Man, that would be wicked to play in Guitar Hero." Turns out it was a Ford truck commercial. I assure you I have never noticed the music in a Ford truck commercial before.
So tonight I was on my way home, and I'm on the subway, jammed in like a sardine, and Sweet Child of Mine by GNR starts up on my iPod. I immediatley started air guitar hero-ing it, though in a subtle way. My eyes were closed, and I was imagining myself five-starring that bad boy, when I opened my eyes and saw a little old lady in the hat to the right.
Separated at birth from?
?Well, not sure, but it freaked me out, I can tell you that 
Okay, sure, that is an amusing answer, when you're a kid. He still answers it today. It's getting a little old. I've never seen my dad eat one.
Now, I've been to Oktoberfest. I've seen lots of people eat sauerkraut, though never in sandwich form. I've even heard of people who like sardines, though I've never really seen anyone who LOVED them, until I went to Price Chopper on Sunday and saw a family buying the following:
- Approximately 8 pounds of globe grapes
- 4 jumbo boxes of corn flakes
- 12 cans of sardines
…and one package of wieners.
Man, what the hell is for dinner in that house??
It's the first day of November, and many have asked if I will be participating in that most traditional of November events …. Movember.
All I will say is, stay tuned and watch my upper lip!
Also, last year I participated in NaBloPoMo and although it was good to make myself keep writing, my blog posts were at least 50% sucky, so I won't be doing it this year.
I do think I'll give NaNoWriMo a go though. With a Mo. Until Timmi goes all razor vigilante on me in the night.
