  1. cold and in need of a warm body to snuggle...
  2. freezing my ass off - i forgot to start a fire before i went out tonight, & hadn't burned one all day. it was fucking 54 deg. when i got home tonight around 2:30a. i really want to go to bed!!
  3. fuck norton - go with AVG, it's free and it works much better... (and i'm on comcast...)
  4. people hate it when i'm reasonable, because i usually shoot the hell out of their argument with infallable logic. what they really mean by "be reasonable" is "stop arguing and agree with me", and i say NEVER!
  5. from what i've gathered, it's best to not keep changing them out. it takes a while for them to refresh/update, and the more often you change it, the longer it will take to do so, during which time you won't see it...
  6. yeah, i couldn't believe that paper doll thing was so far in the lead. if it's not cheating, it has to be something like the "vote for sanjaya" web thing...
  7. when compared to europe (and apparently canada, as i'm seeing here) the US is just chock full of uptight people who can't stand the thought of a woman going topless. hell, in germany, you can see breasts on tv commercials after, like, 10-11pm, every day. the US needs to loosen up...
  8. wow. i was down with reading the first list of ten, but ffs, there's no way i'm reading all the rest of that!!
  9. 1) i disagree with the concept that there's a clear distinction, i think it's all situational. i'd rather see a solo driver talking on the phone, than a boat-load of giggling, hyper-bouncy teenagers talking & laughing & turning around to look at their fellow passengers while they drive. 2) it's not the phone that's the problem, it's the type of driver, and like i said, if we're worried about distractable drivers, then we need to ban music players in moving cars as well. hell, we should outlaw applying makeup, reading a map, eating any kind of food or drinking anything, etc. because they *all* are distractions. if people are easily distractable, they'll be distracted by anything, not just phones. now that i think about it though, if the distractions were really the reason for the ban on phone conversations, why are bluetooth headsets allowed, but not holding a phone? obviously, it's not the conversation itself that's the problem, so it must be the act of holding a phone - maybe we should outlaw only having one hand on the wheel!?
  10. i don't buy it - talking on the phone is no different than talking with someone in the passenger seat when it comes to distractions, road awareness, etc. so, are they going to ban talking between passengers in a car too? besides, the studies that i've seen required people to recall lists, or make calculations, or other taxing inferences during testing. i'm willing to bet (but have zero proof) most of the conversations going on in a moving car have more to do with "i'll be home soon, do you need anything?" or "i'm not sure where i'm going, can you give me directions?" or "so how is ol' aunt sophie these days?" - none of which are that much more mentally taxing or distracting than they would be with a passenger in the car. also, as i said before, radio/cd/mp3 changing is more of a distraction than that. you don't need to take your eyes off the road to talk, but you do to see which cd you want to listen to & then find, then take out the old cd & put in the new, etc... i just personally think it's a stupid law. we might as well pass a law that says "no talking in cars" period.

DGN @ City Club, Saturday, February 27th. 400 Bagley Street Downtown Detroit You enter by going through an unmarked door on the First Street side of the Ramada Hotel building, located at 400 Bagley Street in downtown Detroit.

Currently theres a table, pillar and long narrow wooden table, impossible to miss. Come say hello. If no one is there, stay there, they will show up. Note: If you're NOT going this isn't the place to post about it.
  12. i'm all for banning texting while driving, but talking? that's fucking insane. it doesn't take any effort at all to flip a phone open & talk. it does, however, take a lot of effort/attention to fish around for a different cd to play, or to change the radio station , etc... are they gonna ban radios/cd players/mp3 players? of course not, cuz people would have a fit over it, yet they're more of a distraction than talking on the bloody phone... sorry, this just irritates me... assholes.
  13. wow - harsh... i got a suite on the dgn anniversary night, and since it was a saturday, i got it for $55. really weasn't bad at all, had a little fridge & a microwave, two full size beds, a fold-out couch (pretty sure) table & charis... for $55 it's well worth it, especially when you consider how easy it is to get "home" after the club, as opposed to driving anywhere. only thing i'd recommend is bringing PJs to sleep in. never know, ya know? :
  14. fucking tired - spent all day (4:30p - 11p) helping a friend move, and barely ate anything. i'm absolutely wiped out... (i'd be in bed, but i had to build a fire when i got home, cuz the house was 58deg. oh, yeah!! i'm frustrated that i couldn't just go right to fucking bed, too!)
  15. i don't know what it is about that guy, but i'm surprisingly sad for him...
  16. not to be a sore loser, but... well, let me put it terms you canadians will understand... Take off, you hoser!
  17. ah, but pirates go on rum-soaked benders and don't sleep for days on end - how would a ninja kill a pirate who doesn't sleep, huh!?!?
  18. best in the county, not country! and congrats!
