While being too stubborn can be a flaw, so can being to yielding or forgiving. It's hard to respect someone whose convictions are insubstantial. In general, people think forgiveness is a virtue, but is it when you forgive everyone and everything? When one day they are declaring how much they dislike someone or will have nothing to do with them ( Read more... )

Happy June 1st everyone.

Not sure exactly how I found the first one, or what I was initially looking for. I was searching YouTube for something else last week when I noticed this video under the Explore More Videos menu. It's pretty cheesy, but shows how a simple video game has infiltrated popular culture. There's also, Pac Man visits a Physics ( Read more... )

First, I added to the list of Lineage 2 websites, Lineage 2 Stratics Quest Guide. There are quite a few low level (20+) quests that have decent rewards -- a NG fishing rod, several thousands in adena or SP, birthday echo crystals, varnish, etc. -- that I think I'll try out to pass the time. Maybe it’ll help me get motivated. At the very least, it ( Read more... )

To those sweating bullets over the deadline, there may be a last minute pardon. I didn’t realize this wasn’t common knowledge till I was met with surprise when I told someone the deadline is not today to file your taxes.

Dutiful Citizen: Tax day arrrrgh
Kayay: The deadline is actually Monday.
Dutiful Citizen: o_o ( Read more... )

It might have been a year ago that someone told me about Morrowind, but when I looked online the screenshots didn't catch my eye. In fact, I thought it rather clunky and unappealing. Lineage 2, in a way, has spoiled me, although I do still like games with less pretty graphics as long as the gameplay is good; yet the only reasons this person ever ( Read more... )

For me that's unusual. Normally, you can't shut me up that long, but maybe whatever phantomangel caught is contagious, but as long as it's nothing hormonal, that's okay. *inside wink wink nudge nudge* I'm quite happy being in control of at least one aspect of my life ( Read more... )

• An IKEA add advising you to tidy up. If not for you, then for them.
  
• Grandma needs a new mixer.
  
• Along the same lines, careful what you pull out of your purse.
  
• Now for something different. This is what happens when you mix a man withsports on the brain and one hamster.

I happened upon this site by chance, clicking an advertisement on a lyrics webpage, but with a name like cowabductors.com, I couldn’t resist. Put your cursor over the cow on the screen, giggle, then watch the short video. I love random little discoveries like this on the internet ( Read more... )

There's a site called Foshata.com which lets you add subtitles to foreign video clips. It took me a couple minutes to realize zephranthes made these -- I'm slow you see, particularly at work -- but it dawned on me when I watched the last commercial. The first two, however, will only make sense if you've played Lineage 2 and/or are familiar with MMORPGS.

First is a song from the movie version of rent, then a song from a strange little musical called Avenue Q; despite featuring puppets, the themes are adult. Last is a video made using a song from Avenue Q -- I didn't know this until later -- and footage from World of Warcraft. brazor linked to it before, but I forgot entirely about it.
