ROFL, This has been out for a while, but trust the news to make an underground club thing mainstream. Either way, if you're a fan of old kung-fu movies, you'll laugh your ass off.

In today's episode of "London's Shitty, Shitty Luck That can Only Happen To Her", I went on the second interview today only to find out that the Creative Director (who I knew was displeased with the company) had quit (mind you, I had just interviewed with her oh, last Friday?), so now the Graphic Design position has become the "Let's hunt for a Creative Director who will work 12+ hour days and give her life to the agency" position. WTF? The reason why the position opened up in the first place was to have another designer slash art director in the house to help out the Creative Director. And not only that, everyone knows that if one little thing goes wrong with a project, the CD is the one who is left out in the wind for his/her ass to twist. Not that I don't think I could do it, but the CD made sure to let me know that she had all sorts of conflict at that agency, not to mention was overworked and slaphappy. I'm happy she found something better, but dammit, I wish she could have done this AFTER I got the position and was around to show me the ropes for a bit. The jury is still out on this one, and let's put it this way, if they decide to pass on me, I won't be crying over it.

Aaron's reasons for not wanting to go out anymore are so true, it's unreal. Over the years, I've discovered the main reason why 25+/30+ clubs exist in the first place. When you go to those places, there's a certain element you don't have to deal with. What? Explain, you say? Okay.

After a certain age,when you go out, all you want is to have a damn good time; maybe with your sweetie, maybe with your friends. What you don't want is drama. Watching some bitch get her ass mopped up by a chick a foot smaller than her is pretty funny in the late-teens early twenties years; now it's enough to ruin your night. Or when you are obviously out with someone and some asshole will still give you The Eye (ladies, you know what I mean) and the chick with him goes ballistic. About you. of course, because going off on her errant, Rickashay Rabbit-looking boyfriend would be...+ummm...too much like...right. Or people getting too drunk and puking everywhere, usually splashing vomit on your brand-new shoes. WTF is that? So bearing all of this in mind, here is London's happy household hint for the club set:

1. If you can't handle your liquor, stay your ass at home.
2. If you serve me Brand XXx liquor and tell me it's an Absolute and Cranberry, I will never darken the door of your establishment ever again. I know what Absolut tastes like, and it's not this crap.
3. Ask politely before you start grinding. Some of us take great offense at this dance. Others have mates that also take offense at this dance. Think about it; is it really worth getting knocked out over?
4. If you idea of a good time is sitting with your GFs and taking shit about every girl that passes you in the club bear this in mind: We find you laughable. We don't give a damn about what you say about us because your insecurity is showing like that dirty slip you put on. Remember, silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.
5. If your friends can't handle their liquor, please take their ass home.
6. If you don't know how to act in public, please take your ass home.
7. Guys: If you ask a girl to dance and she says that she's tired, leave her alone. If you were her type, she would be up like the Energizer Bunny dancing her ass off. Please don't embarass yourself further by stalking her, coming up to her every 5 minutes asking "Are you still tired?" et al.

I'll add more as they come.

God, but today was a beautiful day, about 80 degrees. Got a chance to walk Hellfang, play with Kupo and do loads of other things that I haven't had a chance to do lately. Next month I'll be on the "Great Apartment Hunt" and since I want to spend a minimum of at least two years in this apartment, I'm really looking for something that's...well...me. Hardwood floors, big windows, and something that allows pets. Something vintage. The area I'm looking at has all these types of buildings and more; the main thing at this point is to find something that screams "Take ME!"

Went on a job interview Friday after taking care of some much needed business. Bad London. Don't get me wrong, I love the job that I'm at right now, but its not what I went to school for and the politics at this place...*sigh* I really feel for my boss sometimes, it seems like they do things to just make him miserable. I'll really miss him, if I get this job, and my coworkers to, but as Archer puts it: "Don't feel bad. If he was firing your ass he wouldn't feel bad for you. Just do what you have to do." Anways, the interviewer really loved my work and I have a second interview lined up, but I'm not going to get excited until I hear: "Bitch, you're hired! this is how much, and this is when you can start." I've fallen too many times for bullshit where the first person who interviews me loves me, sets me up for the second interview and the second person (usually a woman, natch) hates me on sight. Even so, it's pretty promising. I always said I wouldn't work for an Ad Agency, but this one is the exception.

Nagi, you're back! How was Cancun? WHERE'S MAH POSTCARD, WOMAN? And for all my other Canadian friends who are suffering the effects of the Sars epidemic, hang in there. Despite all the crap that I talk regarding films set here that are filmed in Toronto, pettiness must go to the wayside when it comes to crap like this. Hopefully the CDC will be there soon to help, and the number of cases will go down. We can look at this situation as yet another example of a nation that shits on the United States until they need our help, or we can look at this as a case of people who have nothing to do with Canadian foreign policy who need our skills desperately to contain a killer that doesn't care what they fuck you are, whether it's Canadian or American. I choose the latter.

Nina Simone died Monday. She and her fabulous, smoky voice will be remembered until the end of time.

Mississippi Goddamn. ;_;

Also, Laci Perterson's body was found, along with her son, and they finally arrested her trifling ass husband and charged him with murder. I'm no angel, but there's some people that really need to be eliminated from the face of this earth, and he's one of them. Murdering in itself is terrible, but there's just something so completely FOUL about killing a pregnant woman, I hope that piece of shit gets a nice shank in the eye and his head chopped off and paraded about on a stick before the good state of California pays too much money for his upkeep.


In other news:

I hope youhave a fabalous time in Cancun, don't drink to the point of complete liquid debilitation, do flirt your ass off and have a all around good time.

Glad you're back in SA safe and sound and back on your feet again.

I liked Q-bert back in the day, Mag! I played him all the time. I hated those grunting warthog thingys that come out of nowhere and shove you off the ledge, bastards. It would be nice if playstation made a greatest hits type of thing that has Q-bert and Marble Madness on it. But inthe meantime...*goes back to playing Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo for the PS* Shay-shay...

Yay! Got mah cheddar yesterday, and I'm at the halfway mark of my GTFO-and get-the-imac-with-the Kung-fu-grip fund. Not looking forward to moving though...not with all the stuff I have. Mom said she would get a load of help (which is good, considering all the horror stories I've heard about people paying moving companies to move their belongings and getting ripped off) but it's still a lot of work, regardless. The fiberglass couch alone is about 250 pounds of dead weight. *looks around at all the crap accumulated over the years* Ugh.

As expected, picked up Spirited Away and watched it with Kupo. He loved it, especially No-face.

Kupo: Mom, he's eating people! He's evil!
Me: Not really. He's like most people...neither good or bad. He just does bad things at times.
Danger Kitty: yeah, eat that fucking frog. i've hated it since this movie started.
Hellfang: Wish that dark creature with the white face would appear here. He'll give me treats, he would!
Danger Kitty: dumb ass. it'll eat the people. do you want that?
Hellfang: I dunno. do i get any treats?
Danger Kitty: look, it just ate more people. will this madness ever stop?
Hellfang: that'll teach them to GIVE HIM TREATS!
Danger Kitty: *sigh*

Yay! i no longer have assorted creatures of the humanoid kind climbing up my ass! I've discovered something new today...if you simply ignore simpletons, eventually they go...away, to dine on more gullible prey. Of course, there are some things too stupid to overlook, but we must tryyyy.....

Guess what I'm going to make a run for the border right after work to pick up at Best Buy? ~_^

Great...for those in academia, school is out for the annual Spring Break. Which means that we just sit in the office for 8 hours and do jack shit all day long, since we do a great deal of work with alternative schools. I like my job but....*starts perusing the Help Wanted ads again*

Doubly annoyed by EVERYONE in my house right now, with the exception of Kupo. People who don't act their age annoy the shit out of me. If you have something to say to me say it, don't just sit about and pout, or give me the silent treatment, or talk shit behind people's backs, or play let's leave nasty messages on phones, blogs, etc that you're too chickenshit to sign your name to. Too many adults acting like children, if you ask me. Whatever happened to having balls? Remember those days when people actually stood by what they said? Oh well. It seems to be a trend, adults acting like children. Not only that, but I love rantings of people who feel the needs to bash things (movies, games, etc) in a self righteous, sanctimonious way. Like people actually GIVE A SHIT about their opinion. (and yes, I include myself at times in this category, except I'm not a complete meglamaniac). If people don't like what I say, well, there's the back button. I don't force a damn soul to come here; you come here of your own accord. What's that? Don't like what I say? GTFO then.

In other news, I'm completely addicted to Metoroa; it's replaced Felix da Housecat and Audioslave in the CD player.

I've waited a long time for this movie to be released ever since seeing the reviews for it at Sundance, and I'm so glad that it's opening today and I can go see it next week. Now watch as the psuedo-critics pop out of the woodwork wanting Justin's Lin's head on a stick for not portraying Asians in a "positive light." Bullshit. Teenagers go through crap today we didn't even have to think about back in the day, and if Mr. Lin wants to portray Asian kids having "Bully" like moments with no sense of conscience whatsoever, so be it. I'd rather see 3 dimensional fucked up characters done well than happy afterschool special crap.

I usually don't do stupid quizzes but i love this, fits moi perfectly:

Who the HELL ordered all of this snow! (but then again, this is prolly what I get for poking fun at Nagi and her weather extremes.) I wake up yesterday completely lazy, not wanting to get out of bed, and when I do, I noticed the 6 inches of sleety white stuff on the lawn. It should be against the law for it to snow in April right after having 4 60+ degree days in a row, but that's the Windy city for you. And the killler part is, it's supposed to go right back to the 60 degree mark this weekend. No wonder people are getting sick.

Redesigning Stranjevision, and about 5 percent done on that. It's not that I don't like the design of it...it's just that it's time for a new look.

edit: Dammit, I think about changing stranjevision and then I see this. Yasuda, this is all I have to say:

I knew it was going to happen.

Our mayor has finally lost his damn mind Who the FUCK goes out and bulldozes up a WHOLE DAMN AIRPORT in the middle of the night, even one as small as Meigs Field? And just in time for April's Fools, no less? They said he "hired an independent contractor to do the job in the dead of night." Independent contractor my ass. He probably went out there in the middle of the night and drove the bulldozer himself, wearing nothing but a pair of chaps screaming "TOOT TOOT!!!" at the top of his lungs as he carved great big Xs into the tarmac. And I thought I was crazy....geez.

This is so wrong on so many levels, I don't even want to think about it.

Lurks:
Lumi,
Actionscripting.org,
IRC channels of friends.
Applause: Lots of things, but being yourself no matter what, good design, anime, good books, videogames, foreign films, relaxing, and water are at the top. Now for those of you who find this list boring, bear in mind I could have said I liked sunrises and walks on the beach.
Tomatoes: Too many to mention, but arrogance, judgemental people and those who just don't give a damn rate high on the list. Have you noticed how some can dish it out, but get pissed off if someone treated them the same way they treat others?
Layout whorage bought to you by: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. I LOVED this movie, so much better than the first one IMO. This is partly a screencap of the beginning of the DVD mixed in with some menacing trees and other refinements. Ah, the miracle and wonders of Photoshop, but anyways, I figured that it would be fitting, since an archive is a graveyard of sorts.
