Day 31 - Wearing The Crown, No Love for Duke Nukem, and Even Ennui is Boring

11:06 AM Mr. Grey
welcome back sir
So apparently Saturday I'm going to LegoFest and then to Ribs on the River heh
Yes, I'd say things appear to be going well
11:09 AM Mr. Silver
Made some decisions, did she?
11:15 AM Mr. Grey
Well, don’t know about that...but she already made plans for "us" to go to those Saturday and just informed me
11:24 AM Mr. Silver
I see
LegoFest, huh?
11:26 AM Mr. Grey
What can I say, the girl likes Legos LOL
Apparently they build all kinds of stuff. Supposed to be pretty remarkable
Hey, that’s ok....I'll go to LegoFest with her....she goes to Rob Zombie with me. It's all good LOL
11:27 AM Mr. Silver
Now if you can get Zombie to go to LegoFest...
11:27 AM Mr. Grey
LOL now that would be a show LOL
11:55 AM Mr. Grey
But yeah, its been cool. With her around I'm actually out doing stuff and having a life LOL
12:13 PM Mr. Silver
Well that's cool.
I only date Mrs. Silver and see you guys here and Fridays...heh
12:33 PM Mr. Grey
LOL
Well, we'll see how this goes. I'm fairing well with the crown** so we'll see LOL
12:54 PM Mr. Silver
true
12:59 PM Mr. Grey
Biggest thing is when she has her "crisis" moments, I just stay cool and don’t let it rile me...and that has been a HUGE thing
But more surprising is the fact she has started to change how she deals with things. While she got kinda pissy Friday, it wasn’t entirely me. I knew that...and again the next day I got an explanation and even an apology LOL
1:03 PM Mr. Silver
Wow
Provide yourself as a rock to hold steady to, put a crown on, and suddenly she's evolving into her next Pokemon stage
1:04 PM Mr. Grey
LMAO
Nice analogy

**  Wearing "The Crown".  A piece of psychological advice I crafted for Mr. Gray after a bad falling out with this same girl and the subsequent social disasters that resulted.  She assumed and played the superior role, driving him nuts at every turn as she remained regally aloof and righteous and saw others' attention as her due in their circle of mutual acquaintances.  I told Mr. Gray he had his own crown, and he should wear it confidently and remain unshaken, not be "ruled" by her, never forget it is there, and the roles will change.  Indeed they have...a few months later she's come back to find him confident and unshakeable, and she is now pursuing him, which he allows at his pleasure.  Her ploys, challenges, fits and jealousy games are now amusements instead of maddening.  As Mr. Gray now quotes often: "It's good to be the king."



2:34 PM Mr. Silver
To enter the essay contest you must express in writing:
      “Why I like working here”.
I predict 6 entries all talking about "the people"
2:35 PM Mr. Grey
LMAO
Few other reasons
2:46 PM Mr. Silver
"I'm into the hours, the unceasing pace, the ever increasing burden of responsibilities and the grousing by chronic complainers."
2:46 PM Mr. Grey
I would so love to see someone submit that LOL
2:47 PM Mr. Blue
"The money is good for this area and my lack of formal education."




8:02 AM Mr. Blue
What's Tom complaining about over there?
8:02 AM Mr. Red
Who cares?
8:03 AM Mr. Brown
wa wa wa bla bla bla”
8:03 AM Mr. Silver
One point to Mr. Red



8:49 AM Mr. Silver
So apparently the Duke Nukem they finally put together is self-indulgent, dull, runs on rails and is unfunny and offensive. 
(Mr. Brown made this all come to mind...no offense)
8:49 AM Mr. Blue
a film?
8:53 AM Mr. Silver
Game
8:53 AM Mr. Blue
oh
8:53 AM Mr. Silver
The Greatest Vaporware of all time
8:53 AM Mr. Brown
Commercials look cool
But was not sure of the game
Kinda had the feeling of a really bad movie that has really awesome clips for the trailers.
i will probably still buy it
lol
8:56 AM Mr. Blue
reviews say the graphics are ancient
which I guess you would expect from a game 15 years in development
8:57 AM Mr. Silver
Review I was reading went back to the same stuff that bugged me before...the devs saying they didn't design it.
"This is ID's stuff."  Sounds like they are disowning it as much as they can.
8:58 AM Mr. Blue
Never played any version of Duke Nukem, nor know much about it
8:59 AM Mr. Silver
Played the one for a little bit...didn't care much
8:59 AM Mr. Blue
If you search it on Google images, most of the pictures have a 1st-person hand holding up a wad of money to a scantily-clad lady
9:00 AM Mr. Silver
They lost me in the first 5 seconds when the "aliens" looked like anthropomorphic pigs (with "Police" vests... ha ha zzzzzz!) and tigers.
9:18 AM Mr. Silver
Now that's a lot of thought into alien design. For my money, there's nothing better than hiring a dev team to come up with something a 5-year-old would find cool.
9:36 AM Mr. Silver
(Lead Developer, rubbing hands in anticipation) "Alright, I was up all night.  What do you got for the aliens guys?  Tentacles?  Slime?  Bug eyes?  WOW me!"
(Character Design Team)  "Pigs and tigers in clothes."
(Lead looks at his collection shelves of pig and tiger figurines and pics.) "Awesome!"



10:34 AM Mr. Brown
The Rapture predictor dude had a stroke
10:38 AM Mr. Blue
if God had been responsible, he woulda killed him, I’d think
10:39 AM Mr. Silver
"STOP PREDICTING STUFF! (Lightning bolt)"



12:15 PM Mr. Silver
What kind of computer has no function keys? 
12:16 PM Mr. Blue
a wireless keyboard apparently
12:17 PM Mr. Silver
in other words, he's a dip and couldn't see them
12:17 PM Mr. Blue
probably
12:19 PM Mr. Brown
Ok, to save space we will remove all functionality from this keyboard”






12:51 PM Mr. Silver
Goodness...I need something new
(digs in another often-checked site)
12:54 PM Mr. Silver
Bleh...
12:58 PM Mr. Silver
Must be general ennui
12:59 PM Mr. Brown
I watched “Cyborg” last night for the 5th time
1:03 PM Mr. Silver
Woo...now I'm bored for you
3:18 PM Mr. Silver
Ennui is no good for blogging
3:26 PM Mr. Blue
What is ennui?
3:31 PM Mr. Silver
Bored to irritation with everything
