3147: Pleasure (Pleasure)
I feel very fluffy right now, but I guess that's the benefit of seeing something like 24 and being reminded, hey, you could be innocently minding your business when Jack Bauer and/or terrorists completely fuck up your entire life. Granted, you could also get into trouble your own damn self and get into even worse trouble covering it up... but Jack Bauer will still be involved somehow XB
I feel like I've gotten over something.
There's only so much catharsis I can stand, tho. I totally can't go out of my way to watch this stuff =p [C got the weird six-discs in a one-disc case boxset and has been doing a marathon] and it reminds me that you could watch this shit, be faced with it, and still fail to realize it's the same shit you've seen before... but maybe I read too many advice columns 9_9 [or others don't read enough?]
I waver between shouting from the hilltops and giving up--a huge recurring theme in my writing that even beats ME over the head is the common mistakes people make, especially in their relationships. It's like, people will buy a car, but not after doing comparative shopping, research, etc., and a car will only be good for about ten years on average for the average consumer. Yet so many people--especially teenagers--leap on the first person who gives a friendly smile and want to get married FOREVAR on that basis, after knowing the person for two minutes, then wonder why said marriages take so much work. [Some days I regret ever reading through Yahoo! Answers--ugh!]
Two things stop me: 1. I'll never reach everyone. NEVER. 2. I'm almost convinced that at least some people have to make grievous mistakes for society to remember why they're grievous mistakes--no one believes fire is hot until they get burned, right?
So, insert the old serenity prayer.
BGN was excellent, as per usual. New game Small World = yay, tho I tied with Jon for third [Cherri, Chars, Jon + me, Metalfox]. Jon won PG such that the rest of us didn't bother figuring out who was second, etc., but par for the course for familiar math-based game, I guess, plus the usual problem of the optimal time to buy being after choosing to pass X/ I did get the Fill achievement in RB2, tho, when I realized my band didn't copy to the memory card and--well, fuck it--might as well do SOMETHING while other peeps played PR =p
Halfway through playing, a brand new load screen tip I'd never seen before told me not to hold the drumsticks too tightly, that they should bounce up a bit after each hit.
=D...
Shit! No wonder my wrists hurt >_< I love finding out the hard way what I'm doing wrong. I don't know if that'll improve much more beyond joint pain, but it's gotta be better than doing what I was doing.
Byeh.
