Song of the moment: Watch Me Go (Kissed Me, Killed Me) The Dollyrots

Today was the day that everyone I actually care about was officially moved back. Huzzah. It made for a night of relaxing merriment.

Grix called me in the early evening, asking if I wanted to go for a walk, as she was dropping her car off at my place. I responded that I was probably going to go to the dorms to visit young master Stauffer soon, so we meandered that direction. He was debating the arrangement of his room. Much as I love rearranging furniture, it makes it difficult when A) you live in a glorified closet (AKA a dorm room) and B) you refuse to move your desk from its current position. So, I proved to be much less help than usual.

Hung with Stauff, Grix, and Tagg (who just showed up after a bit), drinking a little and talking. Grix was a special level of retarded. Go Grix. Stauff was nervous about Tagg and I being in the same room together, since putting us in the same room at the end of last semester was awkward and uncomfortable for everyone involved. However, time has passed, life has gone on, and both of us are fine around each other again. You could see him visibly relax once he realized that. Don’t worry, boyo, I did the same thing last night. It’s easier for people in the same amoebic friend circle to be able to be civil when in the company of one another. Easier still if they can manage to be friendly.

Stauff, Grix, and I went to Sean’s, where we were joined by Chrissy and Emily. We played some Chrononauts, then went back to Stauff’s room, picking up the younger Walsh and Stauffer, to watch The Guild.

And this is where the awesome happened. I had not seen the preview for the third season of The Guild. I only knew that there was supposed to be a rival guild as the antagonists. So, at the end of the first episode of the third season (the only episode currently out), we see the rival guild for the first time. The rival guild, led by fucking Wil Wheaton. I may or may not have geeked out hardcore and demanded we watch it again. Okay, it was definitely a may. It made me ridiculously happy. Also, he was in a kilt. Awesome.

And now I’m sitting in Sean’s living room, watching him play LittleBigPlanet. Which, I’m sorry, is a dumb fucking game. But it’s a stupid, pointless game full of cute. So full of cute. Cute music, cute animations, and super adorable sack people. Also, it’s narrated by Stephen Fry, so… that rocks.

Bonus link of the day: For all my fellow Wash fans. We miss you, Alan Tudyk. Well, hell, to be frank, we miss all of you, darling Firefly cast. Fuck you, Fox. I will never, ever forgive you for that. Ever.

A Rare Storm Cloud

This is what I wrote last night, after I’d gotten back from a birthday/house party, and then a frat party. It was 2 AM ish. I was just barely tipsy. There are typos, but I dont like to correct them when I make them because I’m drunk, so they’ll stand.

I hate freshmen girls, I really do. I hate how they’re hot, and willing, and skanky. I hate skinny blond chicks with tiny little waists and huge blue eyes and how the boys love them. I hate how I’m not the only girl in the world.

MORE ALCOHOL IN DRINKS

Posted by admin on August 31st, 2009

Surveys and sales information from shops, bars and pubs in UK have shown that alcoholic drinks are getting stronger. Unknowingly, people have been consuming it and seem to like it, unaware of the changes.

It is said that drink sales have hardly changed since 2000, but the amount of pure alcohol   consumed has risen by nearly a tenth from 8.4 liters per year per person to 9.2 liters. This means that there is nearly an increase of 10 per cent more alcohol in the consumer’s intake of his preferred drink.

The question now is: what impact does this have to the health of a person?

One may be relaxing at home with a glass or two, of say, wine each evening but, unsuspectingly, it is already drinking more than what is good for him.

The increasing strength of wines and beers, therefore, means that people may be often drinking at harmful levels without realizing it.

What is being done to combat the furtively adding of more alcohol in drinks?

The government is encouraging manufacturers to provide appropriate alcohol content labels on their drinks.

With alcohol consumption being linked to more and more diseases or conditions, surely the drinks industry has a responsibility to provide clear information and a greater choice of lower alcoholic drinks which people can enjoy without harming their health.

DOS NIÑOS SAHARAUIS MUEREN POR LAS MINAS MARROQUIES

Posted by admin on August 31st, 2009

Dos menores saharauis muertos por la explosión de una mina marroquí en Zak, en el sur de Marruecos

    MADRID, 30 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

   Dos menores saharauis murieron el pasado viernes tras activar una mina terrestre marroquí en la localidad de Oum Rjeim, en la región de Zak, en el sur de Marruecos, informó el Ministerio para los Territorios Ocupados y la Comunidad Saharaui en el Extranjero de la autoproclamada República Árabe Saharaui Democrática (RASD), citado por la agencia de noticias saharaui SPS.

   El incidente ocurrió poco después del mediodía el pasado viernes, cuando los niños, Salami Brahim y Abdul Haq Salami, de unos diez años de edad, pastoreaban con el ganado de sus familias, según estas fuentes.

   Uno de los niños murió en el acto, tras la explosión de la mina, mientras que el segundo falleció en el hospital en el que fue ingresado tras una dilatada espera por una ambulancia, indicaron fuentes judiciales citadas por SPS.

   El muro de separación marroquí está protegido por seis millones de minas que dificultan la vida de refugiados y habitantes de ambos lados del Sáhara Occidental, el ocupado por Marruecos y el controlado por la RASD
