It may not be seasonable enough for that.

Gravity was pretty awesome in IMAX 3D. I would think it would suffer watching it on a small screen.

I'm gonna watch it on my phone.

Captain Phillips didn't really impress me. Nothing really wrong with it but it just didn't stand out. Plus I was distracted by the fact that Tom Hanks in that role looks exactly my brother.

Just knowing that whole story is garbage and that Captain Phillips was a coward that was largely at fault for every bad thing that actually actually happened in real life is enough to make me be turned off to this movie.

Pretty much just the highlights of recent posts about current topics.

"I feel like I could trip near a hill and accidentally win a luge gold medal."

"Pairs figure skating combines the majesty of skating with the drama of that one relationship that almost ruined your life."

Got a job interview tonight. Not losing my current job, in fact I just got a slight promotion/lateral move.

But still, SAP has destroyed this company and I feel like it's just moving chairs on the Titanic. Plus, this new company came after me without a word that I was even looking. That always feels good.

Got the offer last night. Slight pay cut but worth it for the opportunity Super excited.

Sending off a resignation letter is one of the most uplifting things you can do..

Congrats Bogie!

My window for getting a new job is pretty darn small right now. I pretty much have to find something and interview before I start showing. And even then, I don't know how comfortable I am starting a new job 5 months before going on maternity leave (even though my leave was only 4 days with my first). And then there's the whole pre-existing condition thing with insurance. So, it looks like I'm stuck listening to my crazy coworker sing, cry, and watch Hulu all day. And IM me Buzzfeed links. And start sobbing whenever she sees my child because seeing her causes her to "mourn the children that I will never have" (direct quote from her blog).

It's neat here.

oof

that sounds horrible, unless the buzzfeed links are really awesome.

Generally speaking, they are not. Typically it's "31 reasons I am going to be alone on Valentine's Day" type stuff.

I've quoted from her blog in here before. She's the one who likened her sin to a kitten, when really is a full-grown lioness wanting to eat her. It's a lot to handle on a daily basis.

Spoiler

I am by nature NOT a repenter. I want to be. I strive to be. But the truth is, my sin keeps coming to get me. I don't keep it out. I go to the store, purchase it, and call it a kitten, when really it is a hungry, full grown lioness with babies at home and I am the only living thing in the house. I pet my sin and believe that it loves me and that it will make me happy and while I think it is licking my hand out of affection, in reality, she is just playing with her food before she eats it. I am a fool.

6% of this country is just unemployable, IMO. Maybe 5%. Regardless, she should probably be in this unemployable camp. My god.

My 74-year-old dad just drunk dialed me at work. Snowing big time in SC so since he's housebound, he decided to make himself a screwdriver and take a nap. Sounded like the nap had yet to happen.

Wow, got eaten alive by curling bets last night. Forgot about those. Better stick to betting on the PBA where I have an edge.

Yeah it's almost as bad as "David Hoobler is about to make his final run. He needs to beat a 94.50 to make the finals. If he were to qualify he would be the first American to advance this far in Olympic history. Just an amazing story. Speaking of stories...before we show you this pivotal moment we're going to make you watch a 6 minute vignette of Hoobler's personal struggle with toe fungus".

Like most people on the East Coast, we're supposed to get walloped by this storm in my piece of God's country. Upwards of 18" of snow, which is an incredible amount in this area. I have food and plenty of other assorted vices. I also have that damned generator I spent a fortune on last spring, only to have not lost power since - not that I'm wishing for that to happen or anything......

Don't own, so no. I likely would consider it if I did. The Seattle fault is due

Of course, I don't REALLY want the power to go out as that would affect thousands of people who don't have a generator and would be cold/dark/etc.....

Lived in earthquake country my entire life and never worried about it.

Why?

ETA: I mean this as a serious question. I really am unsure what to do. I have been in three earthquakes, including Northridge which destroyed most of my stuff but I was renting so not such a big deal. But earthquake insurance is very expensive.

Welcome to Austin.

I'm not worried about it. Memphis is on a big fault (New Madrid) and a lot of Nicaragua has been destroyed from time to time by earthquakes. I didn't realize Seattle was at such risk until I started looking at it. I think it's because I'm buying the house with cash--if it's destroyed I don't have the "hell I'll just walk away from my mortgage" option.

What does quake insurance cost? Is it worth it for the peace of mind?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I remember getting together with Drifter, proninja, Pigskin P, and Britney Spears back when I lived in Seattle and I'm pretty sure we spent a ton of time discussing earthquakes and how overdue Seattle was to be hit with one.

Definitely seems worth considering but I don't know if it's a good value or not.
