Maybe they are for practice?
I mean, that sounds like a delicious idea!

Well, my surname does mean "little frenchmen" in italian...
Raneto?
I don't 
Also, I have to admit, it actually means "Little gauls". And "little cocks" (as in the animal), but I'd rather not use that translation

out:My full name would mean:
Name: Free Man
Second name: Man (Edit: I just watched it on the internet and it says it means "army man". All these years living a lie!)
First surname: Little gauls / Little roosters
Second surname: Curved Valley.

Little Rooster and Curved Valley? Oh my.
Anyway, renato is the diminuative of ranocchio. You can guess what that means in Italian.
We have two TVs in the living room. Basically, a gaming TV and a movie TV. The gaming TV is directly in front of a comfy armchair, the movie TV in front of the couch. We set it up so that one person can play Xbox360 while another plays Wii or watches a movie on the DVD player. I came home the other day and my roommate had switched the 360 over to the other TV. My other roommate and I, therefore, were relegated to watching him play Fallout 3 all day.
"We should get another DVD player" he told me
"Why?" I asked
"So then we could hook it up to that TV and if someone is using this TV you can watch a movie on that one."
"We had that already. You changed it."
Also note that for some inexplicable reason, while he was back there behind the entertainment unit he unplugged the audio cables for the DVD player (but not the video). AND he also unplugged the PS2 and original Xbox from the gaming TV.
That night, I cleaned the kitchen. The next morning:
Same roommate: "Where's the waffle iron?"
Me: "I cleaned the kitchen and put it away."
Roommate: "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"
(Because the kitchen was filthy, the counter was covered in waffle batter, and things go away when you're done with them.)
He's not a bad guy, and actually along with me he is normally the vocal champion of keeping the house cleaned. But that was really irritating.

Hmm.

Yeah, my burps taste quite awful today. I wonder why?

INNUENDO?? XD
No it isn't! Renato means born again (re-nato)! The diminutive of ranocchio would be ranina, ranetta, narochietto, ranochiettino and some other usually longer versions of the word!
Or is this some weird slang? Because I can understand italians using the word ranocchio to talk about frenchmen...
Ok, Ranetto is also a diminutive of frog.
You win this time!

Oy. I see an article that says "Midlife Crisis Begins at 30." All the while these girls I know are going on about their "quarter life crisis." Can't we just all agree that taking stock of our lives and being dissatisfied with some aspects are things we do every day until someone plants us or burns our remains?
We could call it "life crisis"
the way that I am living, I am getting close to my 3/4's life crisis....

that's why i dont let my cats in the room when im sleeping. That and the fact that Foster would knead and lick me all night and Gwennie gets an inch away from my face and purrs loud enough to wake the dead.
They can sleep in the living room.

ok my rant is I have been having these horrible dreams lately. My dreams, as anyone from irc knows whether they want to or not, are usually bizarre and often horrific. But lately, they have been waking up in a cold sweat kind of dreams. They are really making it hard to have a good night sleep. The other thing I hate is that often the dreams themselves are innocuous but the feelings I have during them are where the horror is.
Like last night I dreamed that I was staying in this huge mansion, so far so good. I wanted to take a bath but I couldn't because there were all these animals everywhere. Piglets, kitties, puppies, bunnies etc were just everywhere and I kept trying to get them out of the bathroom so I could bathe. Not that it mattered because the tub was full of moray eels!
Now at worst this sounds.. wacky but in the dream it was horrifying and frustrating. I have been under a lot of stress lately and I guess that is coming out in my dreams. I just wish that if a dream were going to be horrifying it would be actually horrifying not inexplicably horrifying. I've had many a dream about eviscerated corpses or being chased by serial killers, let me dream about that if Im going to be scared. Don't make me scared of bunnies!

Follow. But. Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived. Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

My mother and I have a relationship that can be best summed up as "She gave birth to me." Always contentious, always filled with acrimony. Her close proximity and her exasperating "I'm not going to tell you what I'm mad about, I'm just going to be mad until you apologize" attitude have led to many years taken off of my life in stress. Being the resident computer nerd also means that I'm at her beck and call for computer related issues.
My cell phone went off at work today, I recognized the number as my brothers so I pick it up right away. And it's my mom, not realizing that I've picked up already saying "Well, I don't have to like him."
When I ask why she doesn't have to like me, she's surprised I heard and tries to joke it off. I press the issue a bit more and she tells me not to be so cranky. And then asks me to come out and fix her computer with something.
I am Jack's complete lack of enthusiasm.

I hope you said 'no' to her request.
Alas no. I try to maintain some kind of peace in the family. I will call her a bitch when I get there though - her response dictates how we move forward. I may not receive a free dinner.
You know, any of those systems but the Wii can play a DVD. You and your other roommate could've just removed one and put it on the other TV.
