Are You A Member of Generation Y?

Recently, tRJ told me that his work had sponsored some thing where people came in and told all the employees what they were like based on when they were born. Apparently, Generation X kicks ass and Generation Y is a bunch of ingrates. Or something. Anyway, I was thinking about that today and I went and started looking on the whole "Generation Y" thing. As it turns out, I was not as cool and unique as I thought I was when I was a teenager. Did you know, for example, that everyone my age was sad when Kurt Cobain died?...

The Omnivore's Hundred

Having nothing better to write about--that I want to share, anyway--I've decided to finally do this list, which I got from tRJ. 1) Copy this list, including these instructions. 2) Bold all the items you've eaten. 3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. 1. Venison 2. Nettle tea (I have no idea what this is.) 3. Huevos rancheros 4. Steak tartare 5. Crocodile (That's gross, dude.) 6. Black pudding (Congealed blood? No. Fucking. Way.) 7. Cheese fondue 8. Carp 9. Borscht 10. Baba ghanoush 11. Calamari (Am I the only person in the world who doesn't...

Meme Because I Don't Got Nothing Else

Alright, I'm going to do this meme, mostly because the most interesting thing I can think of to write about tonight is the hammer that's sitting in the middle of my floor. Right where I walk all the time. Why is it there? I don't know. How long has it been there? For as long as I can remember? When am I going to move it? Probably when I move out. And those, despite my best efforts into turn the hammer into an interesting post that reveals something about myself, are the most interesting things I can say about the...

Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don't

Due to a combination of insomnia, unemployment, and just generally being a night person, I've been going to bed at around 7am every day this week. I had also been getting roughly five hours of sleep a night because I feel extremely worthless if I wake up at 3, especially considering that it literally starts getting dark at around 3:30 now. Fuck Daylight Savings Time. Anyway, pH, Mr. Vice, and I went out to watch the the Packers game. Because of some ridiculous bullshit (discussed here), the game wasn't on Charter cable, which is bullshit. So we had to go...

Trivia

The combination of being unemployed, bored, and sick means that I've had pretty much nothing to blog about. So I decided to come up with a little trivia challenge. The first one to get a perfect score without the help of the internet or anything like that gets a prize. I guess we'll use the honor system. Also, feel free to try to stump me in the comments. Music Back in the glorious days of Napster, a very popular bluegrass version of "Gin & Juice" was going around. It was commonly--and erroneously--attributed to the band Phish. What band actually sang...

Random Meme Thing

I've been trolling around the blogrolls trying to find cool new blogs. As it turns out, I'm even more trapped in the blawgosphere than I thought I was (get it--bLAWgosphere? Blogs about law? blawgs? God, lawyers are nerds). Still, I've added a few links, so check them out. Or not. Whatever. Also, if you know any cool or interesting blogs, let me know, whether they're law-related or not. And let me know if you'd like me to link to you. Anyway, I found this meme over at Butterflyfish which, as near as I can tell, is written by a 2L...

Name That Tune

There's either way too much stuff on my mind or not enough. Either way, I can't come up with a good topic, so I'll come up with a lame one. After recent events, I made what I think is a pretty awesome mix CD. The songs on it reflect my extant state of mind. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do one of those things where I quote the song and you guys name the song. Maybe it'll be lame, who knows. Anyway, here goes: 1. "Now from his pocket quickly flashes, the crayon on the wall it...

Can I Create a Meme?

I figure that if some asshole can come up with the "what's on the top twenty-five most played songs on iTunes" meme, I can come up with one, too. Maybe I'll fail--who knows. My proposed meme is simple but it'll make you think, maybe. The rules are as follows: 1. In no particular order, name your top ten favorite songs--ever. 2. Justify each choice. 3. The list should be completely subjective. The point is to name the ten songs you think are best, not the best songs you think everyone else thinks are best. So, here's my list (remember, in...

Unoriginal as Hell

Update: There are still 6 remaining quotes to be identified. Come on, guys, you can do better than that! So, I don't have much to actually write about today. Still, I liked that last quiz, so I'm putting up another one, although this one is about music. I'm stealing it from LawNut. Bascally, these are lyrics from each of my top 25 played songs in iTunes. See if you can identify each. 1. "I can't believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes. And if the silence takes you, well, I hope it takes me,...

Dorks

Alright. The time has come for me to fucking comment on something. I absolutely hate it when people who are absolutely not dorks claim to be dorks in an attempt to be cool. Listen to me: if you're super-popular and very socially adept, great. But don't fucking tell me that you're a dork because you read Harry Potter. Look, unless you can do the following things from memory, you are not a dork. Just so you guys know, i didn't look any of this shit up: Lord of the Rings Give at least one additional name for Gandalf.Name both of...
