I'm just getting ready to go to bed. I'm up late. No presents 'til sunrise.

This might seem pretty gay, but I wanted to repost my LiveJournal entry for today here, since it applies to pretty much all of you guys as well.

[quote]I realized I hadn't been building up to Christmas here in my LJ like I've done in the past. I thought that I should definitely post on Christmas Eve/Day, and began to think if there was kind of a heart-felt Christmas message I could give, like I've tried to do in previous years.

I tried to think about what it is I love about the season. It's not just "oh boy, I get presents." It's that exchange of gifts that I think is special. A day taken out of the year just to do something wonderful for someone, and in return everyone does the same for you. I think that's beautiful. Wouldn't it be grand if life was like that all the time? I always enjoy the tension-filled month in which I choose a gift for each person with thought and with care, and on December 25th, I get to see the joy it brings them as they tear off the wrappings. Sometimes I can't help myself, and I end up spending much more than I really should've on that perfect gift. Some people say it's all about materialism, but who cares? If all the other things in life are fulfilled, those precious gifts really do grant happiness, even if in reality, they're all just things.

But it occurred to me that while I'm a very Christmasy guy, and that loving that exchange is easy for me to do, lots of people, perhaps some of you, don't feel that same excitement about the season. To some, it all just seems bland and superficial. You may even be repulsed by it - the commercialism, the rush, the crappy music that they play too much, et cetera (I can sympathize with you for those things). Maybe you don't have a huge family like mine to share Christmas with, maybe you never end up getting really nice things so you can't get too excited, or maybe you just think it's all bull****. If that's the case for you guys or for anyone else, I apologize deeply because you're absolutely right to be glum around the holidays. The reasons I have for loving Christmas - the selflessness, the love, the giving - aren't there for you.

If you're in that unfortunate position, there's not a lot I can do, I'm afraid, to share with you what Christmas means to me. All I can say is this... although this was pretty much true beforehand, I'd like to make it clear that if any of you are ever in real need, I will be there for you. Whether that means something as little as being someone to talk to after a bad day, or as much as opening up my home to you when you have no where else to go, you can call on me when you're in trouble. I will give what little money and resources I have to bail you out. It sounds kind of corny to say like this, and I even feel pretty goofy typing it out. Maybe none of you guys, my few close friends, will ever need help such as this and it'll just be remembered as that one Christmas when I gave out that corny message... but if you're ever in dire need, don't forget that I'm there to pull you back from the edge of the abyss. Yeah, even you, Hillary. Don't think your Jewy ways are getting you out of this Christmas gift. You can't return this one, none of you. I threw away the receipt. You're stuck with it for life.

That's what Christmas means to me. Selflessness... love... bringing joy to your fellow man... peace on Earth and mercy mild... things the whole world loves to talk about and never actually follows through with. It's not a religious holiday for me. It's a way of life, and I try to live it every day.

Oh Night Divine.

Yeah, I know, gay gay gay, corny corny corny. Your Christmas present to me is to tolerate my sentimental crap.

you can dissolve thc into heated milk, and then mix that with tea, but ive been told it tastes disgusting. I found this out when I was looking into ways to brew my green. never ended up doing it though (apparently it makes the milk taste scalded and burned, like, SUPER bad).

Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

What does your work involve?




Posted by Lord of Spam

Nothing, really. I sit around and do nothing.

Probably the most active thing I'll have to do is roving fire watch, which consists on trying to open every door in the school building to make sure that they're locked. I might get stuck on a phone watch, which means that I'd answer the phone, record any incoming offbase calls, and take the hourly logs (BEQ quarterdeck, FN/PO *name*, reporting all conditions normal" "Power school quarterdeck, FN Miller, reporting all conditions normal aye").

Pretty boring. Mainly you sit around and bull**** for a few hours. Hopefully the watch supervisor can set the schedule up so that we're not all on 12 hour shifts, but I'm nto holding out any hope of that.

YOU POUR THE MILK IN FIRST. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

...you heat the milk up in a pot, then when its simmering you chuck in the herb. cool it, add to tea, enjoy.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: cool it, add to tea, enjoy.


No, no. You put the milk in before the tea. Otherwise you burn the milk. Hence the taste.



Posted by Lord of Spam

so add tea to milk? what difference would that make




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

all the difference. You don't burn the milk that way. My mom used to live in England and was hardcore about her tea like everyone else there. And that's one main trick to get the best taste.




Posted by Slade

It'd be pretty funny if this whole time the internet community of stoners who like weed in their tea never realized that. YEAH ITS GOOD BUT IT ALWAYS TASTES BURNT LOL MUST BE THE DROOGZ

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: ok, i demand a step by step set of instruction for makng milk not suck *** in tea


don't use teabags. boil fresh water. warm teapot with hot water, dump water. Add tea to teapot (one teaspoon obviously,) add boiling water to teapot, steep for a minute. pour milk into cup, pour tea into milk.

Oh, and obviously use a strainer unless you want leaves and **** floating around. But yeah, people usually **** up with the water not being warm enough, steeping it for too long, using teabags, and adding the milk in after.

Or, you know, just don't add milk. You are making tea after all.



Posted by Lord of Spam

yes, but its WEED tea, and as previously discussed, thc isnt water soluable. it needs the fat in the milk to properly dissolve out of the leaves, hence boiling the weed in the milk




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I think I'm going to try this now. I've never been a fan of tea, so maybe this will change my mind.

[quote=Lord of Spam;802757]They have these things called "actors" over here. These people can read lines as if they were the ones originally delivering them! Its amazing, but true!
Yeah, but no matter how good they are, it would still be impossible to get the dubbing right. Detracting from the movie as a result.

OMG THE LIPS DONT PERFECTLY MATCH UP FOR THE MOVIE ABOUT FAERIES AND WHATNOT

:P

LoS: You obviously have no idea about the effect produced by different languages. Films in other languages carry a different tone, which aren't necessarily carried over. Doing a movie like that in English would botch the living crap out of it, and recasting the actors would be stupid as well. It's a tale that needed to be told in an older and more lyrical language than English, and Spanish, I feel, was a perfect choice, being close to Latin as it is.

Slade: Spanish is a very different language than the backwater dialect that the Mexicans use which is based off theirs.

On a final note, it's a ****ing SATYR, not a centaur. Or a "fauna" in Spanish. It's hard to have an argument about what country a mythical creature was created in if you're not naming the correct creature.

I have watched films in french, you know, the most subtle and context sensitive language EVAR and then watched them in english and not been bothered.

In French class we watched the Incredibles in French, and I didn't understand why they had to re-dub Bomb Voyage's lines.

I knew what it was. I was just trying to make a funny.

Spoilers: Dubbed movies are ****. Plain and simple. A film made in its native language adds a greater effect and weight to the movie. Simple. Whether you prefer it in English or just don't even notice it doesn't really matter. Most people do and most dubs are abysmal.

I mean, there's a reason directors choose to keep a certain language intact in their films, especially when many are more than capable of using english actors.

Yeah but no one cares about the French.

I would agree that dubs of films often loose things in translation; it seems that the subtle things that create a certain mood, or reveal true feelings do not translate well. But I think the main reason dubs often suffer is that the translation is always second-rate. It always seems like minimal effort is put into it, and in already low budget productions, like many anime series are, it's very obvious.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Indeed. Not to mention the voices they choose are often ear-bleedingly bad. There's usually no effort put into it all and it shows.

Yeah, the only thing that makes me want to learn some Japanese is the amount of Japanese media I take in on a regular basis (games, anime, et cetera).

Posted by Linko_16

Actually, that'd be a huge perk. I've skipped over tons of awesome-looking doujin because I knew it wouldn't do much for me if I didn't know what the hell was going on.

yeah, i hate that.

I'm informing the navy of your habits, matt. They won't be pleased.

Took me so long to remember who Matt was.

I was kind of surprised with myself that I'd realized right away who it was. I'm not used to calling anyone here by their real names.

OH, I was going through my work computer and looking at all our contacts, and there's this dude named G. Purvis. I was like "X's dad?"




Posted by Ant

definite sign you've spent too much time on vgc.

though once I checked someone into the hotel who lives on the same street as corrupt. I thought that was pretty cool.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

yeah, it was weird because I never think of that stuff irl. I just chalked it up to the fact that the name is so rare.

but your explanation is likely correct

My friend has a collection of old Nintendo Power posters, since he's been subscribing for a long time... He was awesome enough to give me the Street Fighter II one, but he wouldn't give up Super Metroid. Such a waste, since he doesn't even hang those bad boys up.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Man, I remember everyone's last name!

well, smith, katzman and purvis. don't think anyone else used their last name. except for pit. but that was some spic name that I'll never remember. Rodriguez or some ****. **** that kid. and maybe phant, but same thing. **** that kid too

Anthony Smith.

That must be creepy to read.




Posted by Ant

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Jamie Purvis.


Or is it James Purvis?


No, Jamie. James sounds stupid. You can't have a first name end with an S AND a last name that ends in an S.

Jamie Purvis.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

man, totally ninja'd. Can't believe it's actually James. Jeez, wow. What were your parents thinking. James is good name, just not with that last name.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I get called James, Jamie, Jim or Purvis depending on who you talk to. Mostly Jamie.




Posted by Ant

I'd call you James. Jamie sounds like it'd be some stupid fat goth girls name.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: I get called James, Jamie, Jim or Purvis depending on who you talk to. Mostly Jamie.


Jim Purvis. Jimmy Prevy Purvis. Pervy Jimmy Purvis. Nice.

Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Man, I know someone named Hamilton. Weirdest name ever. Little fatty too just like you'd expect from the name.




Posted by Ant

Yeah, it really is one of those names.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Doesn't help everyone calls him Hammy. I also have someone on my Xbox friends list with the same name now that I think of it. Doesn't sound fat... but his friends also use the same nickname. It was pretty weird finding that out. Small world.
