Academy Awards poll + other stuff.

Warning: Playing World of Warcraft may be detrimental to your relationship with your significant other. Hahaha, especially if you're 15. I think my favorite part is: "of course i don't want you standing around while i'm getting my butt kicked. and i certainly don't want you off making your own kills at the same time. anyway, you seemed to miss the point entirely. you took me at my word, which is probably the worst thing to do when someone's angry. you left me to die nine times." YOU LEFT ME TO DIE NINE TIMES. I'm so using that from now on. And you must not miss all the hysterical comments that people left in reply to the post. It's just as good as the post itself.

And now it's time for my second annual Academy Awards poll!

As usual, I'm going to try and see at least all the best picture nominees, although to tell you the truth I have no real desire to see two of them. I'm stunned they dissed Harold & Kumar and The Notebook. Stunned. *snicker* (All nominees are here. Link from jade_okelani) If you have no clue, you can consider shadowing our last year's winner, _lore. ; )

This year's prize is courtesy of jade_okelani and ropo -- thanks, guys! It is a Harry Potter Slytherin Crest Leather Wallet -- cool, huh?

( Rules for participation. )

[Poll #424791]

* Edit #1: Under Best Foreign-Language Film, "Yesterday" is actually South Africa, not Spain.

Note to Robbie: Since V. votes in the actual Oscars, you must encourage her to use her powers for good and not for evil. If she has trouble deciding what to vote for, tell her she may use this poll as a guideline. Heeheehee.

Lameness: Video card sellers. Props: Claim Jumper.

This is so terribly lame. Remember how I couldn't find the video card I wanted, and then settled for one a step down, and then when I ordered it, it ended up not being in stock?? Well, guess what? It happened again. What. the. spork. First of all, why do you list things you don't have in stock? Second, why don't you tell the person who ordered it within 24 hours, so they can look for an alternative instead of wasting a whole lot of time? :-l x 100000000. So finally, I have gone and ordered the original one I wanted, off of eBay. I didn't want to have to do that, because used computer equipment, I don't know -- who knows how much care they've taken with it, especially being such a pricey item? But buying it new was just far too expensive, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Sigh.

Here's more bad news: ( Boring stuff about my condo. )

Jade is almost done with her part of IYOK7. I have written half a scene. Gawd I'm such a slacker.

Now, I want to give props to the Claim Jumper restaurant chain. They did everything T-Mobile (bunch of bastards) didn't do. The other day, I went to CJ to get some food to go, which is something I do ... not frequently, but often enough. Usually I place my order, go to Borders, get back, and the food's ready and waiting. ( That didn't happen this time... )
