Quote from: "Ragnar"I feel your pain on that one, Dune. The cat got locked in the bedroom and peed on my old mattress, so I had to go get a new one. I'll get used to it eventually, I'm sure, but for now I keep waking up frequently in the night.

Yeah. I'm used to it now, but fuck did those first few nights blow. In an unrelated story, I try to do a good thing at work and end up getting an extra assignment just before quitting time. That's lovely reinforcement there, eh?

No good deed ever goes unpunished!

I get a call on the weekend for someone in the Richmond office, 2.5 hours away. So I help them (they're not even my office), and the result was to have everybody work a extra 4 hours on the weekend for 3 months.

Trying out mouthwash... yeah never used it before.  It is kind of owie to use...or maybe just since I'm not used to it.

Use it and get used to it. Trust me on this one. <_< This is doubly ironic, since I have a bitch about mouthwash I came to post. Namely, laughing while getting mouthwash in your mouth is a GREAT way to accidentally swallow the entire mouthful.  Fuckin' A, my throat stung for a good half hour.

Pirates of the Carribean 3 sucked. Ugh, that's five bucks I'll never see again. :/

First complaint; five bucks? Where do you live, the mid 90's? I haven't had a movie that cheap in a loooong time.

Second complaint; One Piece. How does a series that's usually so good to me make such GODAWEFUL movies? Movie 6 is complete and utter crap. did they not have enough room to do their preaching and make a decent movie at the same time? Crap. Crap crap crap. I should have known what I was in for having suffered the previous movies and all, but damnit I had hope. Hope that was squashed like a goddamned bug.

First, it was a 4 dollar matinee, plus a one dollar fee for ordering my ticket online.

Second....welcome to the world of popular long running series. : / You can see the same thing in not just One Piece movies, but DBZ's movies, Pokemon's movies, and pretty much any anime with a yearly flick. XP

I've actually enjoyed the Pokemon movies quite a bit. Probably because the reverse of the One Piece movies seem to happen; Ash is allowed to grow and be nifty more than in the anime (in such a short timeframe) whereas the One Piece moives seem to depower everyone to an annoying level (and make them incredibly stupid). It's like watching Naruto filler. ;_;

Ranma_007

Wait a sec, you mean to tell me you paid to see Pirates 3?

I used to enjoy the Pokemon movies, but they started getting too predictable for my tastes.

Why yes, I did. How else would I see a movie that's only in theatres and not on DVD or showing on TV yet?

A google search for pirates end torrent should be about right. :)

Google can solve all problems.

But that spoils the fun of getting to see it on a big screen! :p I'd have to watch it on my shitty monitor. XD

Not to mention it'd take like, a month to DL on this piece of crap. XD

What? You mean open with a fight set to music, meet the cast, a little Team Rocket hijinks, main fight (in which Ash may or may not die but will be brought back by the power of PLOT), resolution, possibly a little more Team Rocket, and the clsing credits with Ash and co. randomly traveling what looks to be an awesome fantasy setting?

How could that possibly be considered pedictable? :)

I was thinking more along the lines of....

Ash visits a new fantastic place. Ash meets a ZOMG LEGEND. Generic One-Shot Evil Dude/Dudette wants ZOMG LEGEND. Ash tries to protect ZOMG LEGEND.

ZOMG HUGEASS BATTLE.

Ash says goodbye to ZOMG LEGEND. Roll credits!

Like women love Spider-man, Legends love Ash. It can't be helped.
