Welcome to 2007.

[Strazos]

realized my girlfriend is WAY too clingy

So she liked the Dutch Oven you gave her? 

[NiX]

Are you implying that my ass fumes must be so amazingly beautiful that a girl can't help but want to be near me?

[Signe]

Good luck in your new place.  Here is a picture of a housewarming gift.

What a great night.

Went to my favorite bar (i.e. the only bar I like) with my brother and some friends and clapped along to irish bar songs, got free champagne (still don't like wine, by the way, but oh well) made lots of noise, and wrapped up the night singing bohemian rhapsody with 7 other people.

And because I stuck with rum the whole night, I didn't even wake up hung over.  Tired, but not hung over.

[Cheddar]

Was disapointing, but relaxing.  2007 seems like it will be an interesting year (as opposed to depressing, like last year was). 

I hope everyone had a great new year.

[HaemishM]

May 2007 be better than the ball of suck 2006 was. I spent the New Year's Eve with the wife, both of us trying to get over the same cold.

[Yegolev]

I played Bully with the wife.

Lots to do in January.  Two birthday parties (mine does not count), trip to Chicago and trip to WDW.  I'd go to the Mythic thing here if I could do it, but alas.

Hoping for a good 2007.

[WayAbvPar]

Went over to Furiously's house, drank, and played Guitar Hero. Was low key, but very fun. Happy New Year, everyone.

You really know how to make someone feel special.

NYE was nice, could've been a little better. Our champagne (Laurent & Perrier, decent stuff) was flat The company, however, was stellar. Luckily my girlfriend was way too clingy :) I like that Dick Clark still shows up for the NYE show...but someone please stop him from destroying the countdown. Second year in a row he's messed it up horridly. And get rid of the douchebag they're trying to replace him with. And schedule some musical acts worth seeing. And fire Aguilera's producer. I think that's it.

The new year has been great thus far, had the first two days off. Did a bunch of stuff around the house, played a lot of Gothic 2 (in my lead-up to a new pc, I'm trying to finish games I started), got in a lot of guitar playing and laid down an instrumental version of Thrill Is Gone by BB that I really need to tighten up a bit. Also reading a fun series (Corean series by Modesitt). Just a great couple days lounging around indulging my hobbies.

Also, my titties hurt from doing presses and butterflies. Finally got my weight bench dusted off because I want to get back into rock climbing.

[Lantyssa]

I watched the first season of Battlestar Galactica (yes, just starting now) and casually indulged in various drinks.

[bhodi]

Where are my flying cars? I was promised flying cars!

Sky: I don't use all that mcuh of my chest when I climb, it's a lot of shoulders and back as far as the upper body goes. Of course, I'd love the completely ripped look but I don't think it's going to happen - I'm just too thin. I don't really use those muscles much climbing regardless. I've been going 4 nights a week to an indoor gym for about 6 months now, and I find it's a great substitute for a regular gym. I can't wait for the weather to get warm enough to start doing weekend trips.

It works for me, but I think I may need to change up my diet. Not sure. I'm like HaemishM as far as body type goes, no matter what I shove down my gullet I don't gain weight. I do have an advantage though - as my friend says: Light on weight, light on skill. I don't have as much mass to haul up the rock  :)

Did your SO remember to buy you the Movie as well ?

I'm light-medium build genetically. I'm just starting to work the chest as part of a total workout package. My main focus is aerobic stuff, jogging (I hate jogging), just to build up stamina for longer mountainous hikes. Hoping to move from the hikes we've been doing up into the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks. I'm good, but I have to take more breaks than I'd like. More of a burst energy guy, I was a sprinter in high school.

When I was unloading trucks, I'd unload for about 4-6 hours a night and then go home and do a full workout, 10 miles on a bike, 100 situps, alternating free weight stuff. I got strong as hell, but I looked about like Haemmy, too :) I'm not one for that 'gainer fuel' bullshit. I like being skinny and strong. And, like you said, it's the perfect build for climbing.

[bhodi]

But you look like the mountian man! .. Maybe you're like a cat, most of what I see is beard.

I  bought it for myself.  (I've been single for a while.)

The Movie?  For the original series or the four hour mini-series?  The latter comes with season one.  Fry's was out of season two, so there will be a shopping excursion soon.

[Furiously]

I can't understand why people go to stores and stand in lines....

[Yegolev]

You can't get that new strain of flu all the kids are raving about if you stay in your pajamas with tissue boxes on your feet all the time.

[Lantyssa]

Because I can shop for other things while I'm out?  It's not like I am averse to online shopping.  I do plenty of it.

[schild]

I like the retail experience. Lots. Shopping online still freaks me out, despite having an amazon prime membership.

No, see, that's the problem.  Over here it really, really doesn't.

You slap the DVD in and find yourself straight into the episode '33' and you realise that you're going to have to take another fucking trip to the shops.

[Sky]

I love shopping online. It's like the postman is santa claus because of the disconnect involved.

[Lantyssa]

Ouch.  It sounds like you found that out the hard way.

Fortunately I knew to make sure the mini-series was included.

[Ironwood]

Hate to blame the wife, but I got it as a gift.

 

[Lantyssa]

After searching every store in existance, I finally located a copy of Season 2.0.  The internets is down at home, so we watched a ton of episodes, saw it was still down, went out to buy 2.5, then watched another disk.

It's fun because our takes on the characters are often very different, and we get into philosophical discussions about the Cylons.  The only things we agree on are that Starbuck kicks ass and Ellen needs to be tossed out an airlock.  In the spirit of the show, I have dubbed her 'Airlock'.

Don't worry....  somewhere down the line,  you'll feel sympathy for poor Ellen.

[Yegolev]

Not in my case.  Her husband, yes.

[Ironwood]

Nor me :  She got what was coming to her.

[Lantyssa]

At best I might think she would have been better off with a quick trip out the airlock. I really do not like her.  (This comes from someone horrified at the treatment certain Cylons have received.)

[Yegolev]

Toaster-lover.

[Sky]

I like at the end of season two where he wanted to stay on the Galactica and he told her she should go planetside and whore around. I dislike her, but it's a good pressure on Tigh's character, gives him more dimension. Just found out UniHD is picking up season 3 of BSG at the end of the month...gotta post that in the tv thread for the 3 of us that have UniHD...

[Lantyssa]

Toaster-lover.

Totally.  I'd bear [Number Eight's] love child if I could figure out how to manage that feat.

Edited in case someone actually hasn't seen the show.

[Ironwood]

I could manage her feet.


Number 6 is in C&C.  That's so cool.  With Lando Calrissian.

Starbuck is gross, she doesn't get on the list.

[Ironwood]

Gross ?

Are you kidding ?

Is this one of those beauty in the eye of the beholder things, or are you just mental ?
