I got promoted at work because for some odd reason people think I'm awesome (but I guess they can't be blamed).
Somehow I think I may crash in a ball of flames, though. I now have to navigate downtown, which I have previously failed at numerous times. I also have to interact with people-- not an easy task at times.
For example, last night I attended my first event for my new job. I found the person in charge and introduced myself. I had been repeating this person's name over and over again so I wouldn't forget..... "Hi, you must be Don," I said.
"No, Dan."
D'oh! Those weren't the exact names, but you get the point.
I fail.

Conformists
Who ever thought spiderman could be a goth? Apparently in a Cure-induced mania Sam Rami decided it would be a good idea to make spiderman/Peter Parker a goth douche in Spiderman 3.
Don't get me wrong, Peter Parker acting like a complete asshat and constantly tossing his black bangs could have been the most amusing part of the movie...
If not for BC.
Yes, Sam Rami is in his usual form and packs a shotgun full of cameos into the film. Bruce Campell rocks the cock and James Cromwell makes an appearance, although I would have been a bit happier if he had told spidey 'that'll do, pig.'
Stan Lee has a small cameo too, but it was all but ruined when some braindead tool in the audience said, 'who's that?' and then got the response, 'i think it's the original spiderman?'
Peons.
Spiderman 3 wasn't all that bad. The acting was awful, and i laughed hardest probably when I wasn't supposed to, which brings me to the major positive of the move-- lots of laughs.
I think the movie would have been a bit better if Harry had chopped of Mary Jane's head and Eddie Brock Jr. and Peter Parker would have gone out to a bar acting like tools and woken up in each other's arms the next morning... Ebert and Roper would have called it 'Heart warming...'

Let's not make this painful
Hello bugs. Thanks for meeting me in this crowded coffee shop. I'm hoping it will make this awkward conversation a little less painful.
We need to talk. Please stop following me and showing up at my workplace and apartment. I thought I made my feelings clear when I kicked you out of bed and attacked you. I do not want to cohabitate with you, I was not raised that way.
I know this is harsh, but I don't want to mislead you in any way.
I don't want to see you ever again. I don't care how you change yourself, it's not going to happen.
You're not my type. Frankly, you creep me out and disgust me.
So let's just part amicably before I have to call the authorities or have you poisoned.... Because if you don't leave me alone I'll do it.
I don't like using threats, but you gave me no choice after you showed up at my home two times this week.
So let's just part ways before anyone gets hurt.

Think Positive
Concerning changes, recent developments.... this couldn't be any worse than it was before, right?
Here I go tempting fate.
I am NOT getting rid of Ash, or my two favorite Onion articles. I mean, who do these people think they are?

Damnit George
GW decided to break into the Simpsons so he could explain why he vetoed the war spending bill. Is that really necessary? I think we've all heard for weeks that GW was going to veto the bill if it set a timeline for withdrawal of the troops, so no explanation is needed. Hell, you're the president, you can't get re-elected so why explain? Do whatever you want GW.
I don't really care about the bill. I know troops won't be leaving the area for a while. I won't get into whether or not I think the war is right, but I think one day all the Iraqis should wake up some morning and all the soldiers should be gone. But before they all start to celebrate, they realize the soldiers took all their goats.... Take that Iraqis.
This explanation is taking a little too long. Couldn't he have just dropped us all a quick e-mail? He's interrupted about five minutes if the Simpsons so far and I am not amused. I know the show has been on for years and it's on every night, but come on. Couldn't they have explained this in a more entertaining way? Homer refuses to pay for a donut he ate and Bob tries to kill Bart again. Viola!

On Kidnapping
I'm a lousy criminal. I kidnapped an item of a friend (not really kidnapped, more like exploited forgetfulness) and took pictures to show I had the item. After going through the trouble of creating a new e-mail address to send the pictures it all comes down to this:
I send the photos.
When I'm asked about said kidnapped items I smile coyly and say "What are you talking about?"
"Your name is on the e-mail address."
Yes, apparently I am that stupid. I didn't even think about my name showing up with the e-mail address when I was filling out info. I am a computer boob.
I guess I can add my name to the stupid criminal list.
