Question For My Enlightened Readership

How do you react to a girl telling you that "you really remind me of my brother, my hot brother"?

It's the end of year slash decade which means that everybody is doing end of year slash decade lists. Which I love slash am gay for. Fact posted their list a few days ago, which I actually really like, though I don't really share their love for dubstep and electro. (I love dubstep but am not sure those albums were really standouts of the decade for me personally) PopMatters also recently released their top 50 of this past year, singles, not albums -- I tend to prefer yearly singles lists over album lists as I really can't put albums into context in the span of a year. I don't mean that in a hipstery pretentious way, just in a I-listen-to-singles-on-interwebz-not-buy-cds way. Sup hyphens, I know you missed me. Maybe instead of a Dec playlist, I'll do some sort of favorite countdown list sort of thing, because there aren't enough self righteous bloggers trying to convince the world they have amazing taste in everything. (Hi2u Pitchfork, jk i love your festival, jk ur writers are douches)

WOAH. There's a "Monetize" button now on blogger. It lets me set up lameass ads. I wonder what kind of ads it will automatically generate for this site...Probably the same gay christian singles ones I get on my facebook. If you ever see ads on this site, please find me irl and kill me. (Except that brief stint where my website turned into a redirect for those lingerie ads, which was nothing short of awesome. Okay a tad short.)

Wizardcleave

Due to my love of all things wizardcleave, I shall sweeten the deal for you ESL thugs: $1000 if you manage to take home first running wizardcleave (NOT SPELLSLING VHELL), by which I mean you actually play wizardcleave for the majority of the event, with an added $500 prize if you do so with a mage named Hermione.




It's been brought to my attention that this blog is now "terrible" and that my writing has "degenerated into internet LOLSPEAK." Yup, both true. Let's move on.

Patch 3.3 calls out to me to come back and duel incessantly as some awful fire spec which could be fun as I haven't played mage really at all since season five and it's still my hope that Cataclysm will provide for me what WotLK never did. (fun?) My work schedule precludes me from raiding or arenaing on US realms (as much as 30-35hr weeks possibly can) so I'll probably be back to being a filthy Euro with awful ping next season either playing lock or rogue. (Sup Kach, carry me to glad again plz!) My interest lock is largely forward looking as the looming Cataclysm changes to the class hopefully will make lock a bit more proactive and less reactive, which has been generally why I can never stand playing the class for more than a week or two on TR.

Regardless of what exactly I end up playing/doing next season, I shall be more around than I have for the past few months. ^^

I can't promise to cut down on the CAPS IS AWESOMENESS of this blog because honestly even CAPS isn't enough to get across the emotion those letters need to carry. They need to be bigger and three dimensional and need some sort of force feedback when you read them like one of those N64 rumblepacks that required a constant stream of batteries. This site needs to require batteries.It needs a horns section too and cabaret dancers. FUCK. I hate puny, wussy little words.

So ESL has only 6 teams so far? I don't really understand the politics of the tournament scene at all. Why would people not go if expenses are covered (when you would devote time + $ to attend other events)? Yeah it's 3.3, but um, so what?

Baby, You Know I'm Too Big To Fail

It's somewhat of a travesty that I've yet to comment on the recent SAC scandal what with me loving finance nerdotry and office place sodomy. Basically, due to an insider trading suit against SAC, a 15 billion dollar fund btw, the details of an unrelated claim against SAC have been made public -- these detail various abuses that a Mr. Tong received from his boss, a Mr. Jiang. The document speaks more eloquently of the events than I possibly could:

Accordingly, as a condition ofMr. Tong's continued employment with SAC, Mr.Jiang required him to wear subtly feminine attire in the workplace during business hours(including blouses, slacks, shorts and open-toed sandals). After-hours, Mr. Jiangdemanded that Mr. Tong wear more obviously feminine attire in the workplace(consisting of bras and panties, blouses, skirts, dresses and high-heeled sandals). Onmorethan one occasion, Mr. Jiang summoned Mr. Tong into an empty conference roomafter business hours and forced him to disrobe and model various feminine outfits as wellas put on make-up. During these humiliation sessions, Mr. Jiang would make commentsto Mr. Tong such as, "don't worry you'll get prettier with make-up"; "you look cute inthat"; and "that looks sexy on you." This forced feminine dressing occurred throughoutthe course of Mr. Tong's employment at SAC; moreover, during this entire period oftime, Mr. Jiang also insisted that Mr. Tong grow and maintain his hair long and wearmake-up such as lipstick and nail polish. Not surprisingly, several of Mr. Tong's co-workers commented on his effeminate appearance, which further exacerbated the hostilework environment he was experiencing. Moreover, during the course of their preliminarydiscussions in the summer of2005, Mr. Jiang conveyed to Mr. Tong that Mr. B. Cohenwas aware ofMr. Jiang's plan to subject Mr. Tong to his intensive "training program".Thereafter, Dr. Ari Kiev, a workplace behavioral psychologist retained by Mr. S. Cohento enhance the performance oftrader/analysts at SAC, observed Mr. Tong wearingfeminine attire in the workplace during business hours but did not say anything to him orto Mr. Jiang (as far as Mr. Tong is aware).

It escalates a little bit later on...




Read the whole story on dealbreaker, or the raw court document.

Okay, let's be real for a second. It takes two for mouth urination. You don't go home after your boss pees in your mouth and think "man today was pretty rough but things really look like they're going to improve for me soon." This whole thing seems like an office place t4m that probably at least started consensual. And the whole sticking magic markers up his ass thing? Did he replace the markers when he was done or did he throw them out? Didn't anyone ask where all the dry erase markers were going?
