What made you smile today?

[Marik]

Costume Quest being free on PSN made me smile. I wanted it when it was released on 360, but I didn't want to drop points on it. Thanks to +, I don't have to.

[darkshadow]

I dislike the usage of "free" with psn plus, since you don't actually own it; the moment you stop paying for psn plus those games go away too.

[Marik]

I'll always have + for the cloud saving, so that doesn't really affect me. It's the only way to backup encrypted saves.

Three day weekend. Drank every one of those nights. Never done that before.

Feels good man.

Did you get Yom Kippur off or Columbus day?

Man I've been searching and searching for this scene from Oliver Beene for years. It was a "Wonder Years" type of sitcom on FOX back in 2003-04 where a kid retells his life in the 60s. He meets a black kid at school and accidently hurts him, so his parents invite the kid's parents over for dinner and hilarity ensues. Besides lines like, "do we serve our food or their food", there are plenty of gems in this show.

The best line and what has been tickling my memory for years is when the Jewish dad asks the black dad (who works at the parks department) if he knows this other guy. The black dad gets mad and says "oh, just because we're both black, you think we know each other, is that how you think it is?!" To which the Jewish dad answers, "no... he also works at the parks department". To which the black dad sheepishly replies, "oh yeah, I know him... he's a good guy."

Went to a choir concert the other night at school and saw many of my students from last year singing.

I wake up at 3:00am every morning to go to the gym, and work well beyond the school day ends. Being at school at 8:00pm to see the concert meant going to bed an hour late for me - getting only 4 hours sleep instead of 5. The singing itself was tedious and amateurish but I felt what I assume only proud parents feel when I saw my old students on stage. While I was there, most of the parents around me talked loudly while the choir groups were singing. I could barely hear anything. I asked the parents next to me to quiet down during a song dedicated to 9/11 victims and received a ghetto-head-bob and eye-roll in return as they continued to talk loudly.

After the concert I shook hands and hugged my students from last year. One of them screamed "MISTER!!" like a kid on Christmas morning and squeezed me so hard I nearly got knocked over. That made it worth it.

Absolutely.

I made vanilla bean ice cream with my girlfriend and it was delicious. It was the first time I've ever attempted ice cream and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it came out.

Now its time for our 4 biggest oil companies to move on in there and show NONE of the free oil profits to the people of either country and somehow not have to be taxed on any of it.... what can we do? We the people don't run the country, the Oil Companies tell us how its gonna be or else we don't get to use their sweet sweet oil.

What grade do you teach again?

[Animeniax]

Watching the newest episode of Tosh.0, they have a segment with some of the most disgusting things you've ever seen people do... but they show the audience reactions and there are some really hot girl-next-door type women in the audience of Tosh.0 recordings.

[XanBcoo]

What grade do you teach again?

I teach at a Ninth grade campus. So 14-16 year-olds.

I thought I'd hate it, but in the end they're young enough to make an impression on (and to assert authority over) and old enough to form a good relationship with. My favorite students are not just kids I teach, but really cool and intelligent people.

The Simpsons Arcade Game classified in Australia

That made me smile. I've been wanting this game to come to XBLA for years and now, it looks like it's finally going to happen.

[Death BOO Z]

Australia has a stupid system about which games can be sold and which can't, right?

what's the deal with your people?

[Marik]

what's the deal with your people?

I don't live in Australia.

Basically if a game can't get a rating, it can't be sold. The maximum rating is 17+, so anything someone deems as unacceptable for a 17 year old is automatically banned from the market.

What is the deal wrong with your people?

What is the deal wrong with your people?

We've been pushing for an 18+ category to be added for a while now. Not keeping up with it though.

I was acting like a mad scientist today in lab. So now I want to make a series of lab instructional videos for Organic Chemistry etc. on Youtube.
