So last weekend I went up to visit my darling vorfeed. Friday we went out to dindins with John and Julie at some Thai place. I'd call that joint a hit-or-miss. I had a great soup, but my seafood salad was served warm and had no salad to speak of involved. Not to mention, when you brag about how incredibly spicy you are compared to every restaurant in town, you'd better elicit more than a mild sniffle from me. I make Ramen at home hotter than that. Cathy hated the dish she ordered, and although I didn't HATE it, I didn't much care about it and it made me sick later. So overall, if I have to go to said Thai place again, I'm ordering the soup and that's it.
Saturday we went out to the Dixon studio tour. Mostly we hung around with Cathy's friends Miya and Andrew. We served some stew :P That was pretty fun, imo. It was a pretty hot day but, thankfully, there was a bit of a breeze that showed up during the hottest part of the morning. Regardless, the whole scene up there is SO New Mexico and the landscape is a blast, so I had a great time.
Rather than hang out for hours and doing dinner with MiyAndrew, we went back to 'spanola to make sum elk vindaloo. I got to try out my NEW CLEAVER and I learned that the *whack thump* method of mincing garlic is AS SEEN ON TV easy. After hours of chopping/mincing things we finally decided that we were READY TO GO and finished the vindaloo (with plenty of paste left over). It turned out not to be very spicy, but it was really well balanced and elk, imo, is a great meat to eat with vindaloo.
Sunday we pretty much lazed around until the afternoon, then headed towards ABQ, where I had left my car (turns out I'm doing that whole "freak out about driving" thing that I do after not driving for a few years). We went to dindins with J&J again, this time at Wings and Things (Cathy REALLY wanted to go there, there really was no choice :) ) and we had a lovely time. After that I got to drive back to Socorro, where I met my "driving buddy" as I entered the freeway, some person with 4 headlights who followed me from ABQ all the way to about 3 miles north of Socorro, where they inexplicably passed me.
You're asking yourself, dear reader, "what has all this got to do with Lady Sov?" Well, clearly, you're not listening. So perhaps you should:

This revolution WILL be televised!!
In other words, the "open secret" about a) how Obama got elected and b) how he's maintaining a rapport with the youth is the internet. Look guys, this is the future. Sniff it's butt and growl at it all you want, it's not afraid of your raised hackles.
I, for one, am supremely impressed. I don't think it will be long before we'll be able to email the President and get a response* within hours.
P.S.: Where are my fucking flying cars, asshole?

So yeah, I got this friend who's a dude I met on WoW, his naim is doombeast. Now the majority of my flist is at least FAMILIAR with Dungeons and Dragons, so feel free to welcome a new member of the nerd community. Thank Cavil he made it a public post :)

A great forum post for fans of District 9, thanks to vorfeed. Seriously opened my eyes to a lot of cultural subtleties that I otherwise would have missed in that movie.

So, my dear Republican and otherwise mentally handicapped friends, I figured you might need something you can relate to in order to understand why health care is important, so here's a PRETTY CARTOON! You can eat your fruity pebbles while watching this and furiously masturbating to Ann Coulter/Bill O'reilly if you like.
CARTOON'D!

Mainly because, rather than sit in Washington and argue politics from on high, this motherfucker WENT AROUND THE COUNTRY for town halls. When was the last time a President did that?
Oh that's right, during election season. Oh, also this
On a somewhat "I told you so" note, I have been bitching and moaning to a certain republicanbeast about the HORRIBLE "dialogue" about this (and other) issues in the US today. IRL, every time I sit down for a conversation, I pretty much attempt to be civil. In fact, everybody I've discussed "Obamacare" with IRL has been thoughtful and involved in it. NOBODY is shrieking down anybody, so why the hell does the media show us the nutjobs and then hire them to run punditry shows? Well, because that's what sells. But that's NOT what this should be, nor what politics should be in general, not in this country. What this whole thing should be is "Let's discuss an issue that nobody thinks is not a problem." So yeah, there's my 2 bits. And I'm glad our President agrees :P

So I randomly ran into a Navajo couple last night and, being stupid, I let them sleep over.... Well, fact is, Navajos clean your fucking house. So now I have a clean house. Also Navajo friends.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Guess what? It's been unusually COOL and NICE here in NM this summer! I love reading all your LJs and seeing "holy crapsticks it's insanely hot here!" Ever hear of schadenfreude? Yeah.... I'm livin it up! It's almost August and I turned on my swamp cooler..... LAST WEEK MUAHAHAHAHA!
Anyways, this is all my twisted way of saying you should all move here because I really think you're insane to live in that horrible, horrible state.
Oh, for all of you WA noobs who don't know, the secret is: You live next to water. Go swimming. Also, wear lots of sunscreen when you do. I got the worst burns of my life while growing up in your oh-so-cool adopted state. GET IT? "COOL"??? HAHAHAHAHA!

So Brian recently got me and Jason into Blood Bowl, that old Games Workshop fantasy football game (similar to Mutant League Football for you old fogeys out there). Not that it was very difficult for Brian to get me into the game, he said "blah blah blah something related to Games Workshop blah blah diddly blah" and I was all "HELL YES MOTHERFUCKER!" So we've played a few games online and I've watched Brian vs. Jason play irl, and the game is fucking great. A bit slow paced, and the online version.... well, let's just say it suffers from the same poor online interaction problems as every other GW game I've played (being Dawn of War 1 and 2, although I've gotta say 2 is a huge improvement over 1)
Lang story short, the purpose of this post is to alert my friends (that'd be anybody reading this) that the Batmexistani Blood Bowl League is currently recruiting. The problem with having 3 dudes playing a game is that there's always one dude sitting out (one of those nasty properties of even numbers, INORITE??) So if you're interested at all in the game, drop me or Brian or Jason a line and we'll hook you up with links etc. Also, there's a lot of fiddly little details that you'll want to know if you do want to play either irl or online. I highly recommend familiarizing yourself at least somewhat with the irl game before playing the online version, so you can see how the game works at its "guts". I know my gameplay vastly improved after I watched Jason's dwarves stomp the everloving Jesus out of Brian's elves. (Elves suck ass at full-contact sports, FYI)
Oh, and if you want me to go easy on you, I have an elf team. If you want a challenge (ie you want me to stomp your teeth in) I play LIZARDMEN! RARARARA!

So. Last night I cancelled my WoW account. To do this, I went to the worldofwarcraft website, used the "account management" aption, cancelled the account, left a scathing comment about how they've made the game REALLY BORING for REAL GAMERS etc.
So, this morning, I discover that apparently my account has been keylogged, the guild bank (lol) has been looted by me, etc. They changed my password, email, yada yada. Oh and of course their customer support is weekdays only.
The funny part is, I scanned for spyware and viruses literally RIGHT before cancelling my account. I scanned again in the morning after I discovered that I'd been hacked/keylogged. No keyloggers. Whatsoever.
Normally, I'd be like "oh hey, them's the breaks, I got screwed". However, considering that this EXACT SAME SCENARIO has happened to three of my friends in the last 6 months? Yeah, worldofwarcraft.com, fix yo shit. So for any of you WoW players out there, list worldofwarcraft.com as one of your "not fucking trusted" sites, straight up.
