This whole day has been moving at about one-quarter speed. I’m supposed to be writing reports now, and have finished one of (ugg) seven due in the next two days, but I keep compulsively looking elsewhere on my screen for any excuse not to work. I’ve hit the check mail link in my webmail program so many times that I bet my webhost suspects a DDOS attack. I’ve loaded the AJC and CNN web sites about two hundred times apiece, and they have not changed the goddamn headlines. Someone entertain me, damn it!






Pff. I’ve been playing Diablo 2 and randomly clicking on YTMNDs for like the last week. Your mortal boredom is nothing to me.
Dude, Diablo 2 is like 10 years old. I thought you’d be on one of the MMORPGs by now.
It’s too bad I don’t want to shell out the bucks for a PSP, or I could play some Madden football.

All the old classics.
I’m not going to mention what I’ve done with MMOs. I’d like to get laid this year, thanks.
But yeah, that’s how bored I am. I’m playing a 10-year-old game because hey, maybe an elemental Druid might be new and interesting!!1!eleven
Somebody shoot me.
I think we should dream big and make this the nerdiest thread in the history of the Internet™.
Okay! Here, I’ll start: I beta-tested Dungeons and Dragons Online.
I have over 10,000 old video games on my Mac, and about ten emulators to play them. I have every version of every Mario game that’s been released officially, AND bootleg versions made by hackers. I know that Super Mario Brothers 2 was actually a remake of the Japanese game Doki Doki Panic.
Did someone say…nerdy?
Come check out my new old digs at http://primordialstewardess.blogspot.com Or, with a simple flick of the wrist, you may visit it by pointing your pointing device and pressing firmly on the left button on the link in my name, where it says, “Melissa wrote:” Either way.
I wrote some funnyish (to me) things today.
I also am avoiding work with the determination of a thing that really really doesn’t want to do any work.
or, may I suggest Slashdot.
or, mayhaps Wikipedia.

let me also tell you about a little website called http://www.ebay.com
Melissa,
Why, oh why, won’t you enable the comments on your blog? We’ve missed out on so many good times.
because I’m running a cheerocracy, not a democracy, natch.
Rusty, it’s just…you don’t understand. It’s so involved being me.
It is possible to be a nerd and get laid. I married a nerd. And we betaed SWG, CoH, WoW, CoV, Auto Assault . . probably something else. We got an advance copy of Midnight Club III. I can recite the intro to the Canturbury Tales in Middle English when drunk. Ok, that’s all — I’m outta here. (Nearly) 4:30 is when I turn into a pumpkin.
I think we have to have some incredibly long and pointless Star Wars discussion for this to even get close to the nerdiest thread ever…and then probably Star Trek too.
Good call Pat. I totally think Captain Kirk would ravage Luke Skywalker’s man cavern in a face-off.
Captain Kirk and Luke???
Oh, baby, make.it.so.
I’ll go further to say that if Captain Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard were in the same room, they would have Luke in fingercuffs. And it wouldn’t be gay. It would be the natural order of things.
“Make it so Luke…”
“Hrrmph, hrumph, hrrrmph…”
“Oh yeah, make… it… so…”
Fucking ebay. I have to ebay my Pogues tickets to make rent this month. I want my road trip, goddamnit.
Did you know there are 124 named entities in HTML??
But what if it was just Kirk and Picard…who would be the bitch?
Patrick,
I should smack you for even asking that. Picard, of course.
Well that was what I thought. Better question–Kirk got to bang the green alien chick but all Picard got was always laying the pipe to Dr.Crusher..what kind of rip off is that?
Man, I was so bored on Tuesday that I was considering going down to the local store, buying some nutmeg, and seeing how much of it would make me trip. Then I saw how long it would last and decided against it. So I played X-Men Legends 2 for a while despite the fact that I had just beat it on Sunday. I thought that maybe I could collect all the little items that unlock secret characters and what not. That got old quick. I ended up watching all of disk 2 of season 1 of “Arrested Development.”
How long would nutmeg make you trip?
Well, I have seen several accounts of it taking several hours to take hold and then several hours of funk to follow. I talked to someone who has done it. She ate a whole nutmeg. She said that the effects weren’t spectacular and only lasted 45 minutes. Other accounts have people taking crushed nutmeg(and more of it) and feeling funky for days. Some of these are medical accounts that seriously question the safety of the practice. Use the web my friend. There’s a lot of bullshit on both sides of the issue, but it definitely will fuck you up. It might very well make you sick as shit too.
