yeah, what can i say, i love all the meats in our cultural stew. however, console gaming? that's a sub-basement of loserdom that i have a hard time moving into.
btw, did you get a chance to watch/listen to that stuff?

he was just telling jp about your recommendation. he was impressed. your appreciation of pc games is a nice cover. it affords you street cred without forcing you to talk about the console scene.

((from Bxx))

9.38am

tyler, mpp and myself here with warren at the front. the only sounds are the hum of the AC and the occasional bawdy cackle from the print lane.

wb is a pain in the ass. his bitchiness knows no bounds. it might be that he doesn't want to be here on a holiday, but there are three other people who agreed to come in and we'd all rather be somewhere else. no need to make it more unpleasant than it already is.

last week will agreed that mm will be followed closely behind by the wb. i hope so.

1.10pm

post coffee headache begins. nary a sign of work in the place. crump came in at 11. when tyler left, she sidled up to say she's nursing a crush on him. the plot thickens like curdled soy milk under a hairdryer.

2.22pm

wb's dressed down to look like a radio shack manager. when the man cuts loose, he lets out the monkey inside.

4.33pm

drowsy. try. to fight. sleep. until 5. sean of the dead will be enjoying a wide theatrical release on september 24. meant to. bring in. copy.
slipped my. mind.

my laughter at that last bit got people a little curious.
