False. I think we're fucked.

IBTNP didn't have their state set their domestic laws back about 100 years as a total embarrassment last night. (So ashamed to be a North Carolinian right now)

I'm just curious because I really hate Chrome but Firefox has royally pissed me off too. I'm pretty un-adept at modifying things unless someone wants to step-by-step it.  :|

True, Petrov (or Pepe as he is informally known) is a Russian Blue male feline of the domestic variety.

IBTNP never thought of calling goldfish 'Kitty Skittles'.

False, I had no friends in college.

IBTNP is one of those annoying morning people.

For those of you who wonder or care, I have put this project on hold due to some issues with the plot. I may revisit it and revamp it sometime in the near future, but with everything that is going down in my life, right now, it is definitely not at the top of my priorities.

1. Ratcatcher (1/5/12)
2. The Fountain (1/22/12)
3. Abduction (1/24/12) - While the premise of this film was interesting, the execution made me want to scratch my eyes out.
4. Drive (2/2/12) <-- Freaking amazing. Yes, the fact that I had eaten half of a special cookie probably intensified the hell out of it, but still... Freaking amazing arthouse noir film.
5. Inception (2/712) - Finally, they make a film that doesn't hold your hand and tie everything up neatly at the end.
6. Real Steel (2/13/12) - Just like Over the Top except with Robots.
7. Fast Five (2/21/12) - Movies like this make me wonder why I agree to watch movies with my mother...
8. The Green Lantern (2/22/12) - I should lose some geek points for not having seen this sooner but to be honest I didn't even know it had come out.
9. Seven Days in Utopia (2/22/12) - The things I will tolerate for my mother.
10. The Big Year (3/5/12) - Cute. That obnoxious cute funny.
11. In Time (3/6/12) - Hey, look they remade Gatica.
12. House (3/11/12) - The Japanese Psychedelic Horror, not the television series. Amazing.

I feel like such a slow reader compared to you guys.

Can we have a Chapter thread wherein we who write can record how many chapters we write in a year?

Anarchy / Re: Lateness Policies
« on: March 15, 2012, 04:17:35 PM »
Where I currently work is a family owned restaurant and there's no set policy, but if you make a habit of lateness your hours will get cut and if you still can't make it to work on time, you just... disappear off the schedule. The owner's not-so-subtle way of firing people.

Most places I've worked before have the one freebie and everything after that is a write-up. Most of them also had the so many write-ups in the so many months results in termination.
