I-- What?

Didn't I update Wednesday?
I'm pretty sure I wrote an update for Wednesday.
Well apparently I didn't because there is no draft of one and there isn't one posted so-- whoops.
I have to get my fucking act together.
NO I DID HAVE AN UPDATE WEDNESDAY.
WHERE DID IT GO?
Hmmmm. Very mysterious.
No email notification-- maybe I'm the only one who can't see it due to an outdated cache?
No fuck it, not worth dwelling on.
Anyway, here we are I guess--
This is really going to bother me now.

I am so, so, so sleepy right now I think my head is going to pop, lol. Will write some later I am so tired I know I can not think clearly.

I never understand this kind of post. "Just posting to tell you that I'm too tired to post."
WHY NOT WAIT, THEN? Like what, I'm just sitting at your blog's front page refreshing hoping to see an update?

Here is a saying for today regarding ignorance, which is sadly sometimes a willful state, for it is easier to remain ignorant, than to challenge, and change our beliefs.

Oh yes please, enlighten me.

In darkness dwells the ignorant heart
Shunning knowledge others would impart
And finds thus in ignorance it's bliss
Deprived of truth's enlightening kiss

Thank you, Janice Kimball for bringing us this original thought.
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES PEOPLE AREN'T VERY SMART
AND IT'S LIKE YOU CAN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING
BECAUSE THEY WON'T FUCKING LISTEN, AM I RIGHT?
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

What movie would you like to see remade, and why? How would you change it?

Well they already remade True Grit so let's remake the entire Man with No Name trilogy. Why the fuck not? Let's totally ruin a classic. Another one, that is. Another three, actually.
YES.

The Dungeons and Dragons movie with a script written by my husband and our friend DJ two of the best GM storyline creators I have ever met.

They really fucked up when they decided Dungeons and Dragons needed to be a romantic comedy (not joking).
I think the most perplexing part of the Dungeons and Dragons movie is at one point the main character has to navigate this thing they called "the maze" and he gets lost in it numerous times but based on what the audience can see it's literally a straight line with one left turn so one is left wondering if there isn't maybe some shitty editing to blame or perhaps the writers confused a gauntlet for a maze.
But he gets lost in it, so I'm not sure.
The character is half an idiot, though. I think he was supposed to be a warrior despite not having any armor and pretty much sucked the entire time.

That type of genre has unlimited potential to have a really great story, and yet it fell far short of the mark instead an engrossing, adventurous, sometimes funny story sparkling brightly like a firework in the night sky, all it managed to do was fizzle out and ultimately die.

Oh well thank you for this. THE FANTASY SETTING HAS TOLD A LOT OF GREAT STORIES.
The problem with making a Dungeons and Dragons movie is Dungeons and Dragons isn't really a coherent narrative it's just a series of tools to play a game and there are in fact various campaign settings within the umbrella of Dungeons and Dragons so when you say "let's make a Dungeons and Dragons movie" what you're really saying is "let's make a fantasy movie and call it Dungeons and Dragons".

What's your favorite music video of all time?

Billy Squier's Rock Me Tonite.
It is the most uncomfortable 4 minutes ever.

I know this is going to sound corny, but Michael Jackson's Thriller video

Original.

I thought that would be a good time to add in tips that have helped me, and some others I know to keep our relationships with our significant other on the right track.

I know when people typically say "I thought it would be a good time to ______________" they're usually just saying that as an excuse to say whatever the fuck they're going to say but I'm genuinely interested in why MAY 9th, 2011 is a good time specifically for relationship advice.

These do not guarantee that your relationship will work out, no one can do that, but it might help with a bit of guidance from experience.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight contains literally all the information you need to have a successful relationship.
And it has a graphic decapitation scene.
IT HAS IT ALL, PEOPLE.

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.”
I am not sure who made this quote, but Kudos to them, they are right.

I disagree. You can definitely nag someone into changing.
They'll resent you for it but if your goal in life is to be a life-sucking succubus then why not?
I've met women like that.
Of course their insidious psychic talent is met with the sheer horror of my negative Warp presence.
All psychic blades perish that pierce this shadow.
2) Do you like the other person? I can not stress how important this is, to have a relationship last you really, really need to like the person

What are you fucking nuts?
Do people really do this?
I HATE THIS PERSON BUT I THINK MARRIAGE MIGHT BE A GOOD OPTION.
I don't know why I'm acting shocked because people are fucking that dumb but I dunno.
Holy shit this entry goes on for 15 items.
Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will
ever regret. -Ambrose Bierce

Speak when you are angry and it will be the only time you are really honest. - me
FUCK YOU AMBROSE BIERCE.

Words hurt more than swords.

Fuck if they do. I dropped my X-acto knife on my foot recently and that hurt like a motherfucker. I can only imagine what an actual sword would feel like.
I suspect when people say shit like "herp derp the pen is mightier than the sword" or "HURRR WORDS HURT MORE THAN SWORDS" they've never actually been stabbed before.
I know personally I'd much rather have someone try to say something mean to me than maim me with a Klingon war knife.

It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and
say the opposite. -Sam Levenson

Implying people are capable of that level of abstract thought.
You might as well say "to be wise all you have to do is think wise thoughts."

Solon : For often evil men are rich, and good men poor; But we will not exchange with them Our virtue for their wealth since one abides always, While riches change their owners every day

Except for families that have been wealthy for generations.
Fuck you, Solon.
Also: really? Of all the ancient Greek thinkers you pulled a Solon quote? Really?

The problem with money is, unfortunately we all need it to function in our society.

This is so abstract I don't even know where to begin to call you stupid.

We need to pay our bills, rent/mortage, groceries, etc. The problem is when it turns into greed.

I thought the problem was we all need it?

Greed is when you consistantly want more than you need.

What is this, a 6th grader writing a book report? COMPLEX SENTENCES.
Also not to bust out the philosophy of Dante but according to Dante there are two forms of greed: the avaricious, who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them.
There is nothing wrong with money in and of itself, but there are a few things you should remember about money.

MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS HURRR DURP.

The saying that money does not buy happiness is true.

Oh God you just did that.
That just happened.
Yeah, well: I've never met a happy homeless man.
Look at people like Lindsey Lohan, Brittany Spears, Nicholas Cage to mention a few for example. All very talented people,

... Excuse me?

and certainly they have lots of money, but are they happy really.

Question.
You need a question mark.

It certainly does not seem so. Having money, fame, and beauty seems to have not made them happier in their lives at all.

But fame and beauty don't make you rich.
Usually they do but how does this prove there is a problem with money?
Money in excess really does not make people any happier, in fact often it creates more problems in their lives.

Oh please, give me the problems that come with having excess money as opposed to not enough.
Those who have little appreciate much, those who have much appreciate little.

Could we possibly talk in any more cliches?
You do not need 15 cars to be happy, you do not need a closet full of 10,000 dollar dresses, you do not need multiple homes, but what you do need to make you happy is love, friendship, and joie de vive.

... What I need to be happy is to be happy with life.
Thank you.
Where do you get these things from? From being a good, and loving friend to others, from opening your heart and helping others, from learning to appreciate the simple things in life, and to find beauty in the tinniest of things, whether it be a sunset, or in a child's laughter.

I'm getting a ton of joy right now imagining my fist connecting with your mouth.
These are the things that will lighten your heart, and your spirit, and help you to find happiness.

The way to overcome greed is to learn to think of others first instead of yourself all the time, and to realize that just because you want something does not mean you need it.

You know I thought I was enjoying being exceedingly wealthy in FFXIV but thanks to this essay I've decided to give all my money to my linkshell.
No fuck those assholes I'm keeping it all.
Pax, my friends.

Senatus Populusque Romanus.
What the fuck is happening?
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WEDNESDAY ENTRY?
Barring hive mind syndrome (which does not exist in the human species)

TYRANIDS.
Holy shit.
Well I'm off to investigate what the fuck happened to my Wednesday entry.
