It's been a long November

It has been a long month. And I've established that over my sessions throughout the month. As to the why of the why it has been a long month, I could probably put out a good session on that, but I'd rather mix things up a little with a little mixing and a little upping and a little mixity upity up.

So I like gum. It's good stuff really. It preserves the experience of eating for a long time, and that's really nice.

I also like eating, it's also good stuff. I like to think it's a somewhat artistic experience. I mean the crafting of good food is artistic, but appreciating the food I think is also artistic. When you appreciate art you are forced to take an artistic outlook and such. So it's all good stuff.

So with that in mind, let's throw on some awesome artistic appreciation stuff like a couple of shows I'm watching now:

1. How I Met Your Mother

Really nice show, it's a sitcom but it goes beyond the sitcom conventions. The central conceit that it is a guy telling his kids how he met their mother gives the show a little bit of direction although sometimes it leads the show to go rather semi-lame lesson-oriented.

2. House

Nice, nice show really, most of the time. House is a jackass, but he's a miserable jackass. That's the thing about jackasses, if they're always right, the show's an endorsement of jackasstery, but if the jackass gets proven wrong every now and then then it's okay. And House manages to balance that. Plus you got some nice character interplay, and so nice joke cracking. And as a medical procedural show, well, I've heard they get some of the med stuff wrong every now and then, but the show keeps things suspenseful and they play around with the formula every now and then. But in the end it is a formula show though. And after a while, it gets kind of hard to stick with that. House is one of those shows that's great to watch every now and then and often awesome to watch when it's rising up or falling during a storyline arch, but once it hits the long stretch of the season, when the formula really shines out, the episodes become a little interchangable, and not something you want to over-do. So that's about that.

Boatier or Quotier?

It's late and I've just been standing on my feet watching a Ghostface Killa and a Witchdoctor (not in that order, in another one, guess which one) rap it all up. And yet I'm not ditching you. Yes you're bums, but you're my bums, you lovable bummy mcbums. But I am feeling lazy, or perhaps just awesome. So I'm going to unleash on you something I've been planning for a while: More quotes. In fact, quotes that aren't even on my Facebook page (by the way if you invite me as a friend on Facebook (I'm simply a man of a relatively normal name there) and mention this webpost, I will definitely accept you as a friend, and then nothing will happen, unless you know you follow up with more detailed invitation to a movie or something, etc.), because Facebook says I can't fill my pages up with tons upon tons of quotes. But hey, I'm Rand, so here I'm just going to have to Rand it all up.

"Have mojo, will travel." - Rand

' "I put out the fires."

"You made them worse."

"Worse or better?" ' - Invader Zim and the Almighty Tallest, Invader Zim

"Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him." - Cicero

"Either you're with us or you're against us, or you're in a third party, or you know there could be a forth party, well, you'd have to be someplace, sometime, somewhere." - Rand

"Oh no! I broke history!" - Hiro Nakamura, Heroes.

"Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events." - Robert A. Heinlein

"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody." - The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger

"Gun control? We need bullet control! I think every bullet should cost 5,000 dollars. Because if a bullet cost five thousand dollar, we wouldn't have any innocent bystanders." - Chris Rock

"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light." - Do not go gentle into that good night, Dylan Thomas

"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly." - Winston Churchill

"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." - Mahatma Gandhi

"A good constitution is infinitely better than the best despot." - Thomas B. Macaulay

So that's the quotes, you judge whether they are boatier or quotier.

Anyways, take it to your head, take it to your heart, and remember Rand rocks. Goodnight Folks!
