She just kind of looked at it, and then awkwardly gave me her little speech before asking if I had anything else. I get mine directly from the bank too, so I know they're legit.

Just walked to the store to pick up some hamburger meat and cheese to make a hamburger for lunch. On the way back from the store, I stopped at a coffee shop to pick up an expresso. I went to pay in cash but the barista refused my $2 bill because they've been prone to forgeries lately. It's funny, because last week they didn't have a problem with my $2 bills.. I guess I'm the forger?

Went to the local farmers market this morning and did some producing shopping. Other then that, it's been a pretty lazy day.

My favorite recent hip-hop project is probably the recent Flatbush Zombies mixtape followed by 2chainz album.

The only podcast I listen to is The BS Report with Bill Simmons. It's primarily a sports podcast, and occasionally there's some pop culture references. I'd probably listen to more, but I only have time to really listen to one podcast here or there, because they are so long.

My first major concert was a Death Cab for Cutie concert in Seattle when they toured for Plans. Nice haircut Skulls, I think it looks better short tbh.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Tablets with screens are expense, I don't imagine you'd be able to find one for $500. Wacom's Cintiq start at like a $1000, which I really don't think it's worth investing in unless your super committed or trying to build a career around it. They're just to expensive for average user to be honest.

They've said will give their evidence to the UCI to allow them to consider taking the case to arbitration, and then publish it in public. They've already stated the evidence includes analysed data and testimonies from over a dozen of his former colleagues. It does seem strange, that you accuse the USADA of being corrupt because they don't provide evidence, without providing evidence of said corruption yourself. Hypocritical, even. What's even more bizarre is that, given the chance to expose the USADA's alleged corruption, and ridicule these claims as the "nonsense" he has described them, that Lance has decided to pass up on the opportunity because he feels "weary". This is a man who has aggressively sued absolutely anyone, anywhere, whenever they have even implied he used performance-enhancing drugs, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars in legal costs and compensation payouts... he's even already tried suing the USADA in a federal court in this case to prevent proceedings continuing any further. But now he can finally deliver a coup de grâce to these claims, and completely legitimise his place as the greatest Tour cyclist of all time, he apparently can't be bothered. Perhaps a more likely explanation is that, just like most athletes and sportspeople who eventually get caught for doping, he's doing two things. 1) Maintaining his innocence in face of the threat of the contrary being exposed, but only by simply stating "I'm innocent" while not following it through with any tangible proof of innocence; and 2) victimising himself. He wouldn't be the first--God, Alberto Contador was doing it only twelve months ago--and he almost certainly won't be the last to follow that pattern of behaviour. Nobody has actually seen the evidence yet. All I've seen is them saying they confessions from 10 former team-mates and two of which will probably include Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton who will just about say anything these days. Nowhere is there hard evidence. It's like me saying I have 10 confessions that you robbed a store yet I haven't shown anyone those confessions, nor is there video evidence (urine samples) to support the my claim of you robbing a store, but you now have to go to jail to serve your time for robbing the store. Not to mention, Lance Armstrong just got over a two year federal investigation over basically the same doping allegations. How many times can you trial one man over the same "crime" before enough is enough?

I just finished watching the Swedish films for the Millennium series. I would describe them as your typical book to film adaptation but the third one was particularly horrible, completely butchered the book. I'm going to stop myself before I go off on a tirade though.. One last thing before I go, the USADA is corrupt system that is out to destroy modern sports and athletes without actually providing actual evidence to support their claims. With that said, I don't actually believe the UCI will follow through and strip Lance Armstrong of his seven tour de france victories.

That sounds like high school-esk drama. I wouldn't be surprised if the kid that started it made the whole thing up. There isn't much of a reason for people to lie about it. It's either you have or you haven't, it's not a big deal.

As far as I know, Jagex has only ever said once how much they confiscate from RWTers in their Jagex versus RWT DevDiary. I don't know the exact inflation rate, but I'd say since GP is 1/10th the price it was back in 06, your estimate in the low trillions per year is close. Though, that is what Jagex finds and bans, much more gets through. ~$4.95/mil? I don't think it was ever that much, but then again all I did was pk East drags back then. lol As far as I know, Jagex has only ever said once how much they confiscate from RWTers in their Jagex versus RWT DevDiary.

I'm going to assume he got vets minimum with the Heat after the Hornets bought out his contact after acquiring him from the Wizards in a trade.

Allen is still a great shooter, most of the problems he had near the end of last season was because it was injured in a condensed season where they need him to play. If you look at his stats, he shot 45% from the three, a career best. Guess what he'll be doing in Miami, shooting threes. Lewis is more of a risk, but given his and Allen's history of playing together in Seattle, I think it kind of works in the Heats favorite, maybe bring out whatever Lewis has left in the tank. They also didn't lose anybody in the offseason so they definitely haven't gotten weaker so I don't know how you couldn't make the claim that they're gotten stronger.

What if it's a new system that replicates something like Diablo 3's auction house in RS?

I think the idea of a new adult genre is a brilliant idea. Half the time I find myself searching for a new book I usually end up passing on a book because I find myself unable to relate either because I feel too old or too young for the content.

Yes it's normal, it happens to my body too, but I couldn't tell you the exact science behind it though. Usually my first day back after a couple of days off I take it pretty easy to get my body back into rhythm.

Good sound systems change everything.

OKC's still my favorite in the west, but the team I'm expecting to have a break out season is the Timberwolves. I feel like they've been on the verge of someone great here for a couple years now, and if they can stay healthy this year I can see them having a Grizzlies like season at worst.

Unless you know how to cut hair already, I wouldn't try unless you were thinking about buzzing it.

That'd be, because I hate both the Lakers and DH. I do think he's a much better fit for the Lakers then Andrew Bynum in that he'll coexist a lot better with Gasol's game and the rest. It'll be interest to see how this works out for the Lakers as everyone else is going small.

If traffics right, you shouldn't have to stop before making any turn and as far as I'm aware, there isn't a law that says you do.

I'm unsure if I'll be rooting for a Californian football team now that I'm here since I pretty much despise them all, but we'll see, kind of depends on which team(s) get favorite by on my local channels.

You'd think a person that likes flying wouldn't be afraid of a little danger.

I want an one some I can solely play Halo, everything else I can play on my playstation. Damn exclusivities! I decorated my dorm walls with posters/fliers I'd collect from around campus at night. I couldn't find a complete photo, but heres about what a half a wall looked like. Doesn't really do it justice though. [spoiler=picture]
