Sampled a local Chinese food place after work last night. Very tasty, and they do general tso's tofu.
I remember winning a full set of shadowrun stuff at a gaming convention years ago. Funny thing was that I never really played shadowrun after that.
Day 44. time eroding my sanity. wearing me down. It's said that the video card should be installed today. I'll believe it when I see it. Oh the melodrama!
Go build your own South Florida snowman over at the Sun-Sentinel.
Maple syrup on coffee ice cream.
Potato chips on vanilla
French fries dipped in chocolate shakes.
Man, what *won't* people on my reading list eat? (well, a fourth won't put pineapple on a pizza.), also a fourth of respondents were male. only looks like a correlation, in actuality, 5 of the 8 pineapple-haters were women, so it doesn't seem to follow my theory of gender bias.
Also, I didn't realize that 4 out of 5 poll-answerers would be women! I wonder if ladies are more likely to reply to a poll than men, or if it's just LJ's skewing more ot the female population?
Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins are yummy, but not healthy at all. Tasty, pizza-ish chips.

We have been conditioned by years of doing quizzes in women's magazines (like Cosmopolitan).

Date: 2005-12-20 02:04 pm (UTC)There's a scene in "The Truth About Cats & Dogs", where Uma Thurman's (slightly airheaded) character does a Cosmo quiz and only then, with the help of the quiz, does she realize just how rotten her relationship with her boyfriend is. Makes me chuckle, because I remember as teens we'd take those quizzes, and upon adding up our scores, we would have brainiac epiphanies. ;)
"Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins"
Shutuuuppp! Those sound soooo good. :d

I remember that Cosmo scene... (I've always sort of thought Jeanine Garafalo was a cutie, too)I had no idea those sort of revelations actually came to teeny-boppers!

never tried it... but when I think of black strap molasses, I think of bugs bunny having his cup shot, and saying "funny, I wouldn't have thought it would run in January!"

Date: 2005-12-20 02:47 pm (UTC)I never have played Shadowrun either, a couple of times I used ideas from a Shadowrun scenario for other games, but Shadowrun itself. It may be the only RPG that was “in” for a while that I never played, oh I’ve also never played in a palladium game, so I guess that makes two.

Date: 2005-12-20 03:14 pm (UTC)The closest I came to playing shadowrun after getting that loot was The "Paladin Station" cyberpunk/fantasy game. still like the idea of a huge sub-orbital beanstalk coming down.
I never played "Palladium proper" but I did the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles game under the same engine.
