A simple KnockOut

It was a little too easy for Wladimir Klitschko to knockout Ray Austin, but it was enjoyable to watch. I thought Ray stood a chance against Dr. Steel Hammer. They were almost identical in measurements, except for a 2" longer reach on Austin's side. Nevertheless, the handsome Ukrainian champion delivered four blows in succession for a knockout early in the second round.


Vitali Klitschko is apparently re-entering the world of boxing now that his back "ain't broken no mo" (as Tyson would have said).


Let me just wipe the drool of my chin..


Here's the real reason for a post: My pimped out GH controller! eeeeeeeeeee!!!

Rummy: (adj.) beyond or deviating from the usual or expected

I'm at my 15th coffee, and still no win. I even tried to get other people to get me a winning cup, and that didn't work. However! It's been the best Tim's week in history. They remembered my order for three days in a row this week, right down to the toasted bagel with nothing on it and a knife. Also, zero fudgeings. It's unheard of. It almost makes me want to send them a card.

My roomie (not to be confused with Roemie) finally introduced me to his current lady. She'd been in my presence at the house for the seventh time. For those of you who placed bets, I'm sorry, that makes me the winner. (where's my reward?!) The Lord intervened on said situation (short for landlord) when it became a little ridiculous. When roomie asked us if we had met, I think he was surprised we both quickly answered with a giant NO! Now the deed is done, but I 'm left wondering how long it would have gone on without intervention.

Today in Nerdlinger news:

The Dude is a genius. Google spread sheeting all our GH high scores has proven to be the best idea designed in the smartest of ways. (GH is short for Guitar Hero in case you're in the dark about my latest and greatest attempt at becoming a rock goddess). Now I get to compete with peeps on my level who aren't around for me to whoop their beehinds in person. Our high scores are displayed for each song, while keeping tabs on the number of top scores for each player.

To celebrate my recent domination of high scores, I decided to pimp my GH controllers proper. The original Ol'Blacky is getting a funky lime paint job, while Mr. Red's been given the Paul Wall treatment. That's right. If my guitar had a mouth, it would smile and declare a sparkle war. Just because my controller's jewel encrusted doesn't mean it wouldn't kick your macho candy ass.


Fun movie projects announced: Tin-Tin. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. What's not to like?

Press pause on life Saturday March 10th at 10pm. Dr. Steel Hammer aka Wladimir Klitschko will fight Ray Austin in Mannheim Germany. I'm ticked that Heavyweight championship boxing matches aren''t watched enough to be on pay per view anymore. the upside is that I get to enjoy the match at home, away from creepy drunkards at the local sports bar. If you're lucky enough to have HBO, the match is playing live at 4:45pm. Otherwise, avoid stumbling onto the results online and wait until it reruns on TSN at 10pm. Don't try to ruin it for me by talking about it either, nobody likes to make a girl cry.

The Seinfeld continuum

I'll never wash these eyes again! Last night, I saw a SWAT type truck being followed by an ambulance pull into this street full of condos. It wasn't a ghetto area per say. There were lots of people around, driving and walking. The po-po vehicles got out of sight for a minute or so. Then I saw it. First the parked ambulance pulled back from the scene and the two ski mask wearing drivers. Second, the truck parked and empty of drivers. Finally, the heavy body armored helmet wearing dark shadows, one crouching, the other standing behind, both with frighteningly large guns. I can't remember seen anything as cool as that. I looked around the corner to see more of them, and just like that, a whole bunch of them were on either side of the condo, closing in on their target address, getting ready to enter. Although I would have loved to stay for the entire action, it was smart to leave. I felt like I was witnessing something I shouldn't see, and wanted to slowly and quietly tiptoe away like Seinfeld. I witness the weirdest things!



And what's up with Wizz Air? How much did they pay for the rights to steal Soul Plane's concept? They even have the same color scheme for crying out loud.

They always fudge up my order!

I get coffee every weekday morning, no exceptions. On a good week, they only fudge my order once. On a bad week it goes up to three fudgings, 20 wasted minutes, a few death stares and a bottle of bleach. This would be one of the bad weeks… I mean COME ON people!! It’s not hard to pour a large BLACK coffee, toast a 12 grain bagel, add two little packets of PB, a knife and hand it to me. I even tried to make it easier for them by dropping the PB from my order but they still can’t get it right. Speaking up doesn’t seem to work either, since the whole staff’s chit chatting loudly through the entire process. It’s too bad their coffee’s my crack; this morning could have been the final straw if I wasn’t almost late for work.

I understand that they were out of 12-grain, but I can’t understand why the branch MANAGER would pour so much coffee in the cup that the lit threatened to explode at any moment. I contained the volatile liquid.. only to discover a few minutes later that the fawken cup was leaking onto my white and pink hearted Harajuku Lovers purse. UNACCEPTABLE!! Pardon the language, but sometimes shit happen, and I can’t help myself but let vulgarities slip. This would be one of those times. I’ve got nothing else to say about that, but “color safe bleach”.

In other zoo news. The roommate dislocated her knee cap and I missed all the ambulance and stretcher action. It sounds exceedingly painful and is one of my worst nightmares. I won’t even allow the dude to tickle my knees because I’m scared the cap will move. The other roommate still hasn’t introduced me to his new chick and she’s been in my presence five times now. I wonder how long it’ll take him. It’s just going to get increasingly weird, she doesn’t even say hi to me as it is now. I’m taking bets if anyone wants in. I promise not to influence the results.

I keep saying, my life is one continuous Seinfeld episode...
