Please post here about the information you have regarding why there were 20 cop cars around the NE 10th and Weidler/Lloyd Center area just 10 min. ago. Especially the McDonald's right there. I just was going home in a taxi (after an awesome A-Trak set!!!) and saw that there is some serious Gang Outreach-related, the PoPoPo-involved shit goin down. I want the facts! (and the gossip)
First of all, I'm in a pretty shitty mood as it is, having just realized that I probably fucked up my one and only solid job opportunity with my big fat mouth, so I don't have a lot of patience.
Anyway, I opened Firefox when I got home and realized that Microsoft managed to install the "Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant" in my Firefox browser. Even better, the "Uninstall" button is disabled, greyed out, unclickable. I didn't ask for it, I don't want it, and it appears they are actively trying to prevent me from removing it. This really pisses me off. Anybody know how I can remove this before I lose it?
Im looking for a pub/bar that is gamer friendly. Im talking full on nerd shit. G4tv on screen, Blizzcon coverage, the works. Anyone know of such a place? If not anyone know of a place that has direct TV and if I was willing to pay for the program would air the Blizzcon special pay per view?
A couple of random questions, purely for curiosity:
--I've found I can imagine flavors very well. I watch a cooking show and, if I'm familiar with the ingredients, I can picture exactly how it will taste. My friend's the opposite, he says he can get a general idea but needs to taste a finished meal to understand it. How do others weigh in? It's hard to know who's exceptional with 2 data points.
--If you like to cook, what kinds of dishes do you tend towards (aside from bachelor-chow "whatever's easy in ten minutes")? All-out fancy, or a standard base? Something I haven't thought of?
okay, so i came across that quiznos sub commercial from a few years ago on youtube. you know, the one with the rats or whatever? one is strumming a guitar and the other is singing in a really obnoxious voice. "we love de SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBS! subs are a DOOOOOLAAAAAAARRRRR OFFFFFFFFFFFF!" anyway, tell me, dp'ers with no life, what is your favorite commercial of all time? bonus points for including a video. as for roll call, i'm bored. the boyfriend took care of everything for me and the kids are asleep, so all i have to do is watch tv. it's kinda nice!
Since I have now learned my lesson about messing around with my violin, does anyone know a good luthier? Preferably one that can see me this weekend since I hate playing my other violin. I live in Tigard, but I'm willing to drive a ways to see a decent luthier.
Do seeds have an expiration date? I just found a bag with flower and vegetable seed packets from 5 years ago. There doesn't seem to be any use by dates.
Except that the oranges they had at the store were pretty crappy and came from South Africa (why?), so I used grapefruit instead. And also, we have a rule about halving the sugar of any recipe, which led to the ridiculous act of adding a half tablespoon of sugar instead of the full thing.
So it's sitting in the fridge now.
I guess it'll have to sit in there for two nights, since tomorrow I have some sort of family thing to go to...
I used a nice Malbec called Zamba, because it's cheap and good. I like Argentinan wines as much as Chilean ones. Mostly inexpensive and usually very good.
I need an alcoholic icon. This one will have to do for now.
Guys, is there anything a pair of 17, 18 year old girls could go to tonight after 7:30? I checked the Mercury's music listings and there was nothing that sounded appealing.
It's like the first time I get to show my friend from Vancouver around at night but there's like.. nothing I can think of. :/
While I'm still in utter horrified silence over the continuing death toll of the past months, it's really really sad to see the loss of iconic anchorman Walter Cronkite.
No not earth wind and fire. Do you guys remember how to write in cursive? I just filled out a form that required cursive and it felt like trying to ride a bike for the first time. I particularily had trouble with S's. It made me sad that my handwriting is such crap but my typing skills are flawless. Does anyone have concerns about the art of handwriting going out as technology, typing, and texting takes a front seat? Should we all sit down and start writing stuff in handwriting to retrain ourselves? Will cursive in the coffee shop replace knitting as a new trend? -Dannybear
i really want to go to the atrack show at rotture tonight, buuuuuut... i sort of snapped my license into two pieces a few days ago. it's taped securely with packing tape, but you can definitely tell that it's... well, broken. i've been using it for drinks at bars/ restaurants (such as bridgeport on hawthorne) and nobody has even made a comment so far, but this will be my first time at rotture and i'm not sure how lenient they are with such things. do any of you frequent/ have any experiences or information to share? it'd suck to make the trip out there and have to leave, so if i am screwed, who wants to drink alcohol and bitch about the dmv with me?
