the internet is a swamp, remember that

I spent a good chunk of my day sitting in Metro with Melynda and our laptops. At one point she took a phone call from someone in an RPG we play in, and chatted for a few minutes. I was half listening, tracking on names and phrases. Finally I looked up and said, "Are you talking about that crazy Australian motherfucker?"

Melynda burst into laughter. It was great.

Crazy Australian Motherfucker is this batshit fellow who I first ran into in my first online RPG. He's a drama queen, an attention seeker, and a manipulative jack ass. At this point in time, I am puzzled as to why anyone talks to this guy, because he is clearly mad in a not clever or fun way. I'm actually playing in an RPG he created, which I would not have gone near except for the fact he got the boot for being a moron. His entire purpose seemed to be fixated on screwing things up for other people, as far as I could tell whenever I ran across him.

Clearly one of those people who needs to be banned from the internet. Much like that oh so Dark fellow who got his panties in a twist over the LJ April Fools joke. I'm a fairly humorless person at times, and I know I take so much more seriously than I need to, but jeebus.

Ate fish and chips at the Dog & Duck pub for dinner. I watched Melynda get drunk and call her youngest sister in an effort to marry her off to Gene. Rachel, Sam and I just cackled. Much fun was had by all. Perhaps I should have gone out drinking with the folks, but I was kind of worn out and just wanted to go home.

When I got home, Alan was about thirty seconds away from sleep. At least, he said about six words to me and crashed out before 11pm. Very odd. I've never seen him go to sleep so early. I'm kind of disappointed, I was hoping we would get a chance to hang out.

Did you know the first commercial microwave was over 700lbs and cost $5000? Crikey. It was five feet tall! We didn't get a microwave until about 1993-1994. I remember being very annoyed with my parents as a child because we didn't have one. I hardly ever use the one we have in the apartment, unless I'm eating a frozen dinner. Every now and then I'll heat soup up, but usually I do that on the stove.

The Food Network is so fun to watch. I learn so many odd things. Like the fact that Red Baron makes one million idividual mini pizzas a day. Food production is fascinating in a strange way. I'll blame my kindergarten field trip to the Frito-Lay factory for my interest in the subject. All those conveyer belts and machines! So neat.
