Just Peanuts. which aren't nuts. They're legumes. And they're the only legume I'm allergic to.

ah okay, there are walnuts in this banana bread.

I only ask cause i've known people allergic to peanuts as well as actual nuts, i couldn't remember if that was the case with you.

then you'd best start bailing, cause that boat's sinking!

Yeah. It's also shaped like a peanut. Which it probably why it's sinking.

Not to mention that it's populated by a couple of nuts.

... legumes.

Couldn't decide whether to put this in the happy thread or the unhappy thread. There should be a ambivalent thread. Oh well, I'm a glass half full kinda guy so it goes here.

I just turned 20.

Now that you're no longer a teenager, you can complain about today's youth. A definite plus.

One more year til you can drink in the States? As a Brit, that opens up all new travel options for you.

I was productive today! My company's website, which I'm fixing on my own time, is progressing.

I finally rediscovered the title of that movie I watched in my Utopias and Distopias filler class! It's 'Things to Come'! It was based on an HG Welles novel!

Gawd, you have no idea how much losing that name bothered me. And with a name like 'Things to Come', it's not exactly distinctive . . .

It was the only movie we watched where the future was a shiny white marble apparent Utopia. Right after that it was Blade Runner, and it was all soot and grit from there on.

I got a Wii today. HORRAY! And it was after I gave up hope of finding one.

ZOMG I just got one last week too! I guess Nintendo wasn't joking when they said they were upping production, because I saw 4 at a Gamestop a few days ago.

You should play Wario Ware Smooth Moves with a bunch of people. It's a hell of a thing.

My dad bought me "Masters of the Universe" (the live-action He-Man movie from the '80s) on a whim, and I was surprisingly excited about it.

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 10:02 am

I put "Masters of the Universe" on the same level as "Street Fighter." They're both pretty bad, but watchable and strangely entertaining.

Although, as far as concept art vs. reality is concerned, I think the discrepancy was not as great in MotU as in SF.

Applied for a childcare job closer to home. Got an immediate response - wanted to meet with me tomorrow. Good pay too. Only they wanted two to four hours a day. Well, bummer! I need full-time. I had to politely decline.

Raul Julia may not have looked the part, but man did he have fun in that role. Shame it was his last movie though.

I was going to post a scan of my new driver's permit, but then I decided against it. So instead, I'll just tell everyone I got my permit.

Kind of loses the dramatic effect, doesn't it?
