I haven't been around much these days; I haven't updated this thing in forever. I've been on summer vacation for a couple of weeks now and it's been ridiculously nice out, so I opted out of spending time in front of the computer. I've been seeing my friends and looking for a job (which I found). I did not leave because RT sucks as everyone else seems to have.
I'll be popping in periodically. |

They just opened up a huge-ass library downtown that for some reason rents out audio CDs. Here are the last six that I took out:
The Clash - Live: From Here to Eternity Guttermouth - Eat Your Face Frank Black - Frank Black Street Dogs - Slavin Hill Pulley - Matters The Clash - Black Market Clash I'm surprised at the obscurity of some of the stuff they've got there, although I think the good stuff has been hoarded by the 63 000 who visited during the first week and the ridiculous amount since then. |

I know they have computers there, so why not just furnish them with burners and that'll save people from having to go home and back with those music CDs. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
They do have burners, I think. What can I say, I'm an old-fashioned pirate. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
If you tell me that they sell blank CDs then I'll really be shocked. 0 Replies | Report Abuse

I live in what could be described as half the top floor of a duplex. Living under me is a typical middle-class family of four: the momma, the poppa and two kids aged something like 9 and 13. The architecture of my apartment makes it so that my room is directly above the kids' room. Said kid (I assume the youngest one) is apparently a little bastard, because his dad screams at him almost every day.
Usually early in the morning. I had no classes today, so I was taking advantage of the fact that I actually could sleep in today. Wrong. ''YOUR MOTHER AND I ARE TRYING TO SLEEP! YOU WAKE UP EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE! YOU NEVER UNDERSTAND! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!'' This, of course wakes me up. Whatever he was doing prior to being chewed out, he hadn't succeeded in waking up everyone. ''BUT DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!'' *starts crying* ''STAY HERE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?'' ''WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' The door slams. I try to fall asleep again. Suddenly, someone appears to be trying to rip the door from its hinges. ''WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' The entire fucking house moves about an inch as the kid apparently tackles the door. ''WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!'' ''WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' So much for sleeping in. |

At first they were just on my elbows. I didn't make a huge deal out of it because 1) they were just on my elbows, 2) I was in an apartment full of girls who were freaking out and thinking I had contacted the bubonic plague. Then it cleared up for a bit and I thought I was out of the park.
Not so. Every-fucking-where, I have itchy swollen red lumps that have appeared there for no reason. I haven't slept all night because I'm trying not to scratch it (I fell asleep and woke up scratching like an idiot). I'm borderline disfigured; I look like a white, lame version of Danny Trejo. |

I was sitting around Place-des-Arts today, reading while waiting to see a movie (that I ended up not seeing, sitting outside because it was such a beautiful day), when this girl comes up to me and asks me to be part of a focus group. She says she'd pay me 60 bucks to talk about beer for two hours. I, of course, accept. She starts filling out these forms and asks me how much beer I consume in a week. Now that I'm in Montreal and pretty much doing nothing all the time, my beer count has dropped significantly. I did not meet the minimum requirements to be considered a regular consumer of beer.
That really made me think... seriously. Oh, and I was in Chapters this week and I flipped through this book called ''What Not To Name Your Baby''. It's basically a (not very funny) compendium of the ways in which your kid can be made fun of if you call them by that name. Anyway, I was flipping through it and came upon the entry for Flavia. (An aside here: despite the fact that this will be the third entry about her, I've talked to her twice since the first time I met her. There's no fiasco waiting to happen as with whatever other girls I may have mentioned here before... at least not yet) Apparently, Flavia also means ''a tasty clam''. If I ever needed any confirmation, this is it. |

I do agree with your #1 if not a lot else. I would have put your #21 and #27 much higher, lol. My top ten also had The Aviator, Sideways, Closer, Million Dollar Baby, and Garden State, but GS didn't hold up well on its 2nd viewing so I might have to drop it. 0 Replies | Report Abuse

Okay, here's a hypothetical situation that absolutely did not happen to me. My ''friend'' met this really cute girl in the photo lab at school who seemed to be into him. My friend asked her her name and she told him, but my friend is such an idiot (I mean, seriously, I wonder why I'm friends with him at all sometimes) that he has forgotten. He believes it may be Natasia, but he isn't sure and doesn't want to risk looking like an already bigger tool.
He wants to know, how do you figure out a girl's name without sounding like an ass since she's already told you? |

You could always ask her for her phone number. They usually write down their name, then phone number. At least it's been that way every time I've tried. They'll write 'Jenny: 847-322-9432' or whatever. Either that, or ask another person in the class. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
She's not in my class, though. She was just using the lab. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
Well, just ask someone else in the lab then. I'm sure someone knows it. The spelling idea is ok, but it could backfire if her name is Megan or something simple like that. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
I'm almost positive that it's something Italian.

If he asks her what her name is, she'll probably get quite offended and think he doesn't care enough about her or think about her enough to remember her name. Obvious, but true. Any way to avoid that would be your best decision. 0 Replies | Report Abuse

The correct answer: Get your "friend" to introduce her to another friend of his. You don't have to ask her name. It would just go something like this.... FRiend: "Hey Chris, this my friend." Natasia: "Hi Chris, I'm Natasia." Other friend: "Oh hi Natasia." Just make sure friend doesn't forget her name a second time. 0 Replies | Report Abuse
