IronmausIronmaus - LiveJournal.comFor Love Of Convenience- April 29, 2008 I tell you, the convenience store that's three doors up the street from me definitely lives up to the label and I visit it far more often than is warranted by the prices. It's nice to know that, just a few steps from my apartment, I can find not only the traditional soda, beer, and candy but bags of rice, canned olives, tube socks, and wire cutters.In closing, if I lived above a 24-hour Chinese restaurant, my life would be complete.http://ironmaus.livejournal.com/307676.html This Town Ain't Big Enough- April 25, 2008 I just saw the trailer for Chaos Theory. Can we just have a deathmatch between Ryan Reynolds and Jason Lee to decide who stays and who goes (And if Jason Lee wins, can we convince him to never do another family film)In closing, seeing as both of them are stuck in guest appearances and cartoon voices, the Kathy Griffin v. Vicki Lewis bout has been postponed for irrelevance.http://ironmaus.livejournal.com/307404.html Call To Arms: Poker Combinatorics- April 20, 2008 I know it's the weekend and hardly anyone is reading this, let alone people with advanced skills in mathematics who want to spend their Saturday doing combinatorics for me but....Last night, while playing poker, Todd made a joke that a hand with at least one card from every suit should be called a Suit Sampler and have some value or a place in the established ranks of poker hands. It was a good joke that stuck with us throughout the evening and even carried over into today when Jake and I were..http://ironmaus.livejournal.com/307146.html Best- April 11, 2008 UPDATE: The poll I posted earlier appears to be broken for some reason. I have summed up the results here.The poll originally asked the question, "Which is the best Cake song" and presented three options: (1) "Let Me Go" (2) "Love You Madly" (3) Something else that I'm totally wrong about and will write in as a comment. While it's true that technical difficulty prevented many people from casting a vote, those who could were largely divided as to which song is the best.To settle this...http://ironmaus.livejournal.com/306167.html Swedish Delights- April 10, 2008 Last night, Miranda and I went to IKEA looking for a desk and came back with some rugs, wooden boxes, a desk lamp, and Marabou Mint Choko. Let me tell you about this latter item. It's basically a Rolo (chocolate candy with a caramel center) that's mint flavored. It has moved unquestionably into my top five favorite candies. Caramel Mint caramel Wrapped in chocolate Please to be putting it in my face.In closing, we'll probably have to go back for the desk (which means more Mint Choko).http://ironmaus.livejournal.com/305811.html April Begins- April 2, 2008 I'm not sure if I like April Fools Day or not. I like jokes but I also hate disinformation. So I'm torn between thinking it's awesome that IGN went to all the trouble to make their fake Legend of Zelda: The Movie trailer look fairly believable but kind of annoyed that it will likely gum up the rumor mill for some time to come and that there's not actually going to be a Zelda movie next year.Now, for something totally not fake but totally awesome: look out for cyclists.In closing, soon I will...http://ironmaus.livejournal.com/305545.html |
