I love war documentaries and find that WWII doesn't get boring no matter how much you know about it. |
I watched one about Japanese internment camps in Arkansas, and a miniseries about Auschwitz, and some other stuff.
I also watched a bunch of John Waters movies. |
I totally thought you said japanese internet camps at first

OH SHIT NEW SUPERJAIL

I buried him in the garden next to the other one. With stones and a plant pot over it so the cats won't eat him.

Cause that's how your fish would want to be buried.

I'm also sorry about your fish, Shrub :(
This morning began a huge thunderstorm here and my big stupid horse of a dog won't pee when it's wet outside. But as soon as she's in, she starts whining about needing to pee again. My daughter and I were going to get a ride somewhere at 11:30, and I was running behind, so the car pulled into the driveway just as I was standing in the pouring rain with the dog trying to get her to pee. The dog lunges for the car, thinking she's going to go for a ride somewhere, and I slipped in the mud and did sort of a weird and incredibly painful split. Like, my left leg was at 6 and my right leg was at 11. I thought for sure I was going to hear my hip snap, but I didn't. Hurts like a sumbitch, though. So I had to haul my ass up out of the mud and sort of limp sideways into the house to get the dog put away and change my clothes. She never did pee. |
I'm starting to work on art related projects in my spare time.
|
Weird weather today, it was about mid to upper 40s, but then light snow flurries came down. I thought I was losing it until a coworker called me across town about 10 minutes later and told me the same thing
|
Yeah, I was outside in a t-shirt washing windows this morning, enjoying the warm sunshine. By the time we were out of the movie at 1, it was really cold, and by the time we were in the restaurant at 2, it was snowing. Ohio can suck.
|
We just got the flurries here too. They're gone now though.

Welcome to the wonderful world of internet game criticism! We won't pay you for your efforts, and nobody is going to read your articles, assuming your editors even get off their fat asses and upload them within the next decade. Also, as we abhor anything that might discuss a topic in a thoughtful manner, we're going to have to ask you to keep your articles under 1,000 words.
And I could handle the first two, but oh, fencing with the big wigs about article length. It's like they're allergic to in-depth game exploration, and don't realize that we are, in fact, on the internet, an entity capable of essentially infinite data storage. They also seem to glean sexual pleasure from rejecting perfectly servicable shit. I thought the point of editors was quality control, so that you could bounce your work back and forth until they helped you pop all the zits and polish it to perfection, but I guess everything I learned in J103 was a big fat fabrication and they're really out to fuck you in the eye socket. Maybe I should just start drinking again. |
The only editorial thing that Esuohlim pulled on me was to say he didn't want to post a hidden picture on his website using 'java bullshit' as he put it. :eek
|
I am comparing what you said to my time pretending to be funny on the internet. :eek
|
Rather than my day job in cowboy journalism where editors and journalists do their damn work. :eek
|
Oy, put in a good reference for me and I'll allow some buttsex.
I'm serious, too. |

If you're serious about writing gw then you really shouldn't turn your nose up at word limits.
|
Oh god, you don't know the first thing about writing.
But, if you are serious, I highly HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest you get the book "Writing with Style" by John Trimble. It's the single most important book I own. Seriously, you have no idea how much this will help someone like you, unless you're not receptive to criticism - in which case you're a lost cause, anyway, and it won't matter. |

Also Hadas, I realize word limits can generally be a boon to readability and shit, but I have this condition called being a horrible autistic that causes me to have to talk at length about everything or I will literally go insane. Also, I've been told I'm pretty good at it, and I could poop 800 words a week. And sure, Zhukov, I'll link my shit up if I can get dipshit to post it tomorrow |
Writing means nothing unless you're writing for an audience. Writing for yourself is meaningless. Why would you publish something instead of just keeping it in a drawer, then?
|
Why do people write in journals and diaries then
|
my association may also be from your usage of the word "oy" which, like zhukov, I didn't bother to even read before -- but it likely still influenced my thinking and made me biased towards british! interesting truth: even if we don't detect or consciously observe stimuli, our brain still processes it and communicates it across our minds. that process of filtering the stimuli has the ability to corrupt our thinking and has a temporary suggestive power over us.
for example, television producers could subliminally flash any image before us without us even realizing something had happened, if the length of the flash were short enough. the image could be of a glass of water, which we wouldn't see, but we'd probably still develop a sudden interest in thirst. or, they might flash cardboard and make us crave mcdonalds out of nowhere. not saying this is abused, but it has the potential to be! the same goes with sound too, and just about everything else. it accounts for a lot of daily "coincidences" and spooks too, like when you "feel" that someone is behind you/or following you but you're not sure why. and then you turn around and they're there! it's because your brain was picking up on the sounds or change in temperature, or whatever, that would otherwise be undetectable within the human threshold. it then filtered that stimuli and sends you that thought as a warning, like, "hey dude someones about to stab you in the bum!" or like whenever those neighbors in interviews are always like "Oh yeah, I always knew that guy was a creeper, I just saw something in him" blahblahblah, they think they all have superpowers but it's a very basic cognitive peculiarity that everyone does daily ;( so even when you can't perceive, your mind does. and even when it can't tell you what's wrong, it'll still try to tell you that there's something. the lesson here is that you should always follow your instinct, even if it is out of the blue. unless you are watching television, then you should ignore all urges. the other lesson is that psychophysics is awesome. |

Well, I could say it's equal parts for myself and for an audience, but that would be a big fat lie because I do my thing for a website where the sun does not shine and nary a reader is to be found, probably because of our crippling lack of spellchecker or any sort of coherent editing process. I think our guy pretty much clicks on word count and gives a yea or nea depending on how much he thinks it'll stretch the front page.
That's ok, though, because I just like writing so damn much that I will keep churning out essays on a weekly basis and devote all my effort to making them enjoyable and informative reads, even if they consistently remain unpublished and my ambitions are left to decompose under a juniper bush. |

Also, yeah, Hadas, I've played that game in a lot of journalism classes. I think I might have a bizarre sexual fetish for the inverted pyramid and murdering inefficient words.
The major difference is that then, I had someone acting as a quality buffer, rather than having to look at everything with my disgusting malformed brain and trying to decide what should stay and what should go. I'm wildly inconsistent about how good I think I am, too, so some days I might just set fire to the entire goddamn thing and curl up in a corner telling myself I'm a hack over and over again. I'm terrified of becoming George Lucas, basically. I fucking need someone to question me critically or I will inevitably create horrible, childhood-ruining butt shit. |
You need to make better goals. That's what I have to do.
|
I never understood people who wanted to be journalists. It's like you're basically writing about shit you don't care about because you have to, right?
|
It's only the coolest job in the entire fucking world, no biggie
|
Yeah right, mang. I'm going to be an engineer, the job with the most lopsided ratio of salary/time actually spent working that you can imagine :picklehat
Besides being a goddamn bench-sitting professional sports player I guess >: |
Well, I can't fault you for that, but I'm the kind of person who gets suicidal if he spends too much time not working.
I'm like a skinny Dwarf. |
In my field, we neither get paid nor work! It's pretty great!
|
I think you have unrealistic views on editors GW, in reality they'd probably end up pissing you off. I wrote a review for this site awhile ago that Rog put up nearly unchanged except for a single word, I was surprised at how mad I was. I didn't say anything because it was just a bit of minutia and it would of been embarrassing to throw a fit over but still. I used to imagine I wanted to be a writer too but that shit's far too frustrating. Now I work at Walmart, and I couldn't be happier!
|
lol
|
I'm nothing if not tolerant of being shat on. How do you think I'm still posting here?
|
I'm going to guess that whatever you wrote an article about, GW, or what you have written articles about in the past, the topic has always managed to revolve around yourself. Your posts do nothing but talk about numero uno.
|
Not really, no. It's a video game column, not a fucking blog.
My articles are usually my subjective opinion, of course, so I'll say things like "I particularly liked the part where you had to fast-talk your way into the morgue and get rid of the pathologist so you could cut off and steal body parts at your leisure," but I'll only really talk about myself if it's to make a cheap self-deprecation joke. Which I should probably stop doing anyway, since everyone else has savagely beaten it into the dirt at this point. I also talk about loads of other stuff all the time, but since you dickheads insist on constantly patornizing me I've got to do a lot of explaining. Well, I don't, actually, but that's lazy. Either that or you don't even read it; by your admission, you disregard everything I talk about because of tl;dr, so it's more of a case of selective memory. Which isn't to say that I'm not a little whiny from time to time, but I'd rather work out my frustration with words, in a consequence-free internet environment, than by, say, going to town on someone with a sledgehammer. |
I guess I'll reserve my judgement then.

I personally think it's hilarious that the police maced that kid. Welcome to the real world, kid; you threaten someone with a weapon, and you get the MACE.
And his mom needs to get off her fat ass, stop blaming the police, and blame herself for letting her kid grow into a violent little ass. |
i know if i ever have kids i'm gonna mace 'em when they're bad
|
What a weird way to bring up the kid macing. I saw it on the news yesterday and was laughing at the little shit. He needs his ass kicked to the point were he becomes retarded and can't do harm to others.
But seriously, I had to flip back a few reads to see who was talking about it. WTF. |
I feel like they should have used a real mace.
|
I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST PUT THAT KID IN THE CAMEL CLUTCH AND HUMBLED HIM.
|
The story I read said that when the mom came to get the kid, the first thing she said was "well, you probably deserved it."
|
Funny, but there was a similar story here about a week ago, the only difference was that it was a little girl and she didn't deserve it. Also we call it pepper or capsicum spray.
