I got my first-wearable-item-that-I-purchased-online in the mail today! Sneakers! And they fit me! And I'm happy! Yay
Awesome!
My sneakers should be arriving sometime today too!
We should totally take pics and talk about how awesome eachother's shoes are
Here's what mine look like.
I've been on a crazy teal/aqua binge for the past year...so when I saw these I was all "YES"
Also I always buy sneakers that are mostly mid-tones, because it hides dirt better
Also because I feel like an idiot if I wear white sneakers, for some reason

So guys, I'm watching D9 for the second time. If it wasn't so bleak and depressing I would watch it for hours and hours and hours.
Then again, if it wasn't so bleak and depressing, I wouldn't like it so much.
edit:I know what you mean! I'm usually drawn to brown/tan shoes for whatever reason. I really want to break out of that mold but I just can't see myself wearing bright white colors. Black is cool too though... just not ass cool.
My dad just got home but I'll post pictures of what I got after dinner

I went to that Mi Adidas website and went through the whole process of designing a Team Zissou replica sneaker, and I got really excited, headed to the checkout and BAM, you're a fucking foreigner, FUCK OFF!
I hate you so much America, I just want to crack you open and extract your gooey center, your gooey center being Zissou Sneakers.
Thats totally what I'm going to do for Halloween Mustang. I already have the sweet beanie and this weekend I found a store that sells scubs that look pretty close. Then I bought some with sneaks at Payless so now I just need to paint the shoes and add some patches and pinstripes to the jumpsuit. All together it only cost like 50 bucks, and thats cause the shoes were freakin 30 beezos.
I've been waiting so long to put this together, but I could never find matching collared shirt with pants at a reasonable price. It's gonna rule. I think I just may wear this thing randomly throughout the year.

Oh man, you have to post pictures of that. I finally got my wife to watch The Life Aquatic the other night, she loved it and is now a member of the Zissou Society.
I certainly will. I think the hardest part is going to be how to pull of that leg holster but I'll havta think of something.
Once its all done I'm totally having my photographer friend come over to take pictures of me paddling around the river by my house, even if falling in means hypothermia.
I wish the french schools would stop pumping out the same plot formats though.
Hrmm...?
Elaborate?
Its just a personal preference, many shorts are in the like slow, pretty reveal to a joke/point, and then a small twist at the end. Alot of the risd and french schools seem to have that going on. I like weirder animatons. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_8_k1am-RM
I made my thesis pretty personal for that reason. I also understand this is a gross generalization.
Edit: While I can sort of appretiate the ambiance of it, why on earth is my caps radio just hockey sounds and not a pregame show. Am I supposed to be visualizing warm ups?
Probably once I go crazy from flying in the secluded bush for years.
Also fug that is TOO FAR. If you lived between Vancouver and Las Vegas, then I would totally. We do a huge cross country next summer and it is usually to Vegas or San Francisco or something. I want to go to Vegas and shoot some guns.

You need to make some IED's and drop them onto the Las Vegas strip from a crusty Bristol Bulldog, all the while laughing manically from under your sinister handle bar mustache.
You'll of course be executed by the state of Nevada, but the rest of us can say "Hey, I know that guy" when your face comes on the TV.
For some reason I thought Vancouver was on the soggy side of Canada by the Great Lakes. That area has a lot of lakes!
I guess that's kind of far. Some kid managed to hijack a successions of planes and cars and make his way from Washington on through Bloomington. You wouldn't even need the plane-hijacking part is all I'm saying.
bombs you and mully fly to San Diego when I'm there in March for four days (16-19)
just to meet me for a few hours and then leave
wasting all those miles

Congrats, Bombsy! If you're ever at SFO or in San Francisco proper, let me know.
There has to be a less confusing way to put this, because I didn't know whether to take this to mean that A) bushes in Canada were much larger than American bushes, that one could fly through them, for the first few years of flight certification you're not allowed to fly more than 3 feet above the ground, or C) that it's an aviation-unrelated euphemism about banging a reclusive woman.

I just found out that pumpkin carving in Australia is a total headfuck and probably not worth the effort.
EDIT: I might have to think outside the box and do a butternut carving.
I heard you're coming over Friday. My goal is to get at least one embarrassing story out of you; failing that, I'll create an embarrassing story for you!
Congrats Bombs, that is a hugely impressive achievement and I wish you all the best for your new life in the skies.
I am excited because I have just booked myself on a climbing course and also today is a special day signifying having evaded death and capture for another year.
As is my custom, I have danced the birthday song and am now sat in bed with a coffee.
Binaural recordings are fun, Flay. We made one for my work last year that involved a walking "tour" with guides from 20 years past. The effects can be incredible when done right.
Binaural recordings have been around awhile. At my job we apparently used to use them for recording opera scores, where the mics would be placed out in the seats while the band played. But apparently we stopped once the trend started of recording in sound-studios.
Since most people who play games also use headphones (on PC at least), I don't know why this hasn't become more common, but it probably has to do with the fact that you need a unique recording set up, and everyone has big boners for 5.1 digital surround.

The interns have to share one
The important thing is that I get a free hour in a 172 because I did so well on the written test!
YAAAAAAY! Congrats, dude!
Bloomington probably has an airport
And then you could crash... on my couch
So how long until you buy a ratty old open-cockpit seaplane and go on adventures around the world, accompanied by your pet snake Reggie?

Alaska is right next to Canada...
I can't in good conscience recommend you fly here though.

Mully livestreams all the time. Hardly reclusive.
Also all aviation terms are euphemisms if you try hard enough.
oh my god yes

or a baby eating a dingo to scare away the dingos
And you would have to use a bowie knife.

And, oh god, my life is fraught with embarrassment so you wont have to dig too far.

In other news, this is the coolest thing I have ever heard:

Only works with headphones.
