In lieu of a Fri lulz from me (like I post them all the time) I would like to skirt the rules just a bit. (even knowing that I may be subjected to being covered with chocolate and....well you know)
There is a comic book and SF convention held regularly in Los Angeles. I have no idea if there are any collectors on this forum in the area, but it occurred to me that I can get one, maybe 2 people in free, so if anyone is interested they can PM me and I can send the details. (the next one is Sunday the 15th)

Way too slow and somehow drained me of all the energy. Need to do something awesome this long weekend.

Google+ can videoconference up to 8 people at once with webcams. I don't know if that's any option. Just sayin'

Fairly productive actually. Got all my shit that I'd been putting off since before Christmas done, hopefully on time or my employment may be in jeopardy :P Did lots of exercise to offset the lots of beer I've been drinking (it didn't work ;) ) and set my car on fire and burnt our bed sheets.

The sheets were in the boot and there was an electrical fault with the boot light, this caused the sheets to start smouldering. I actually didn't notice until about 4 hours after I'd gotten home when I went to empty the car and there was SMOKE EVERYWHERE. I had my guitar and pedals in there, which are worth far more than the car, otherwise I would have just gone back inside and dealt with the insurance company in the morning :P

Tell me about it. It was winter here for 2 days, and it was miserable. I also happened to be sick at the same time. Screw this week.

I really should stop watching pirated movies until 2 a.m. I feel increasingly sleepy towards the end of the week, duh. :-/

I've given up on believing there will ever be a "last semester" :P

"TPers, how was your week?"

I want to beat my production supervisor to death with a shovel, thanks. I hope the sonofabitch gets testicular cancer and dies from it.

No seriously. This isn't the normal anti-boss loathing. Seeing this guy get run over by a semi would truly but a big ol' grin on my face.

Maybe I'll just order a gay porn fetish magazine under his name and have it shipped to the company address.

Well, crap. I really have to get to to one of these but I don't think this coming Sunday will work since I have to do my manager thing which I won't be done with until after 6pm but post a head's up on the next one and I'll make arrangements so we can finally shoot the shit in person.

I haven't been to one of those in ages. Last one I went to I got a picture with Scotty (he was still alive at the time, thankfully).

He was certainly old (and fat) at the time, but he seemed to have a lot of life in him. At the same convention was also Jonathan Harris from Lost in Space. Now he looked like a corpse. In fact, I think he became one not too long afterward. Leonard Nimoy was there, too, but I didn't get to see him.

Wow. That could be fun. How is it that you came across tickets?

I usually only go to the gaming conventions in L.A., but it could be interesting. Although it's a bit short notice. :)

"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
