fun with grommit

OK, this was just entirely too much fun, and because my friends poked me to post this, here it is.

Read The Adventures Of Grommit over at atypical.net. Grommit is a perl script masquerading as an AI on a little IRC server network I help maintain.

Oh, and in other news, we can actually get married once we get to Canada! Yay!

OK…

It’s all gone pear-shaped. Bush has finally gone off his rocker. I want absolutely nothing to do with this anymore.

Oh, and so has Matt Groenig, in a good way. Thanks :

I pledge allegiance to and wrap myself in the flag of the United States against anything un-American and to the Republicans for which it stands, two nations, under Jesus, rich against poor, with curtailed liberty and justice for all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, communists, welfare queens, treehuggers, feminazis, illegal immigrants, children of illegal immigrants, and you if you don’t watch your step.

MIB II Ramen

OK, so I’m sitting here at my desk, having forgotten my protein powder for lunch (on a bit of a diet). Instead I ended up eating what was in my desk drawer, a present from a coworker: Men In Black II Ramen. This has the movie’s logo (those shiny blue metallic letters) and some tasty-looking ramen in a photo with a black starfield. No silhouettes of Smith & Jones here, though, probably because it would cost more.

So I make it, and come to realize that the reason it’s called MIB II Ramen is because the liquid flavor packet, and the resulting color of the soup, are the precise color of the ooze that comes out of an alien when you step on it. Gritty, black paste with a slight orange hue to it is absolutely unappealing . . . except when it’s 4:30 PM and you haven’t eaten lunch yet. :(

I hope this stuff stays down.

Oh, and in case you think I’m joking, there’s a picture of the stuff on their website. Click “Enter the site,” then “Products,” then “Foods.” Scroll down. Eeew. The convenience store chain “Family Mart” also carries the product line. Wow, so many merchandising opportunities!

The big news

Mercy () and I were officially engaged on our one year anniversary, 2002.6.28. We have some pictures at atypical.net of the party we had on 2002.7.5. We’re very happy, thank you very much! :)

I’ve also gone a bit mental, for completely unrelated reasons. If you’re on my “friends list,” check out the next entry. If not, feel free to ask me and I’ll add you in. I’ll even help track down a code for you to join LiveJournal if you want.
