It may only be a gut reaction to your version of the events (so forgive me if you think the assessment is unfair), but my first thought here is "stay away from FLAKY UNSTABLE BITCH".

Talked to my ex for a while tonight.
I am a lot better off than her with all of this I think it's mostly because it wasn't my idea and nothing I can do can change it. She is freaking out all the time and really wants to get back together but she won't. So whatever.
It was a weird talk. She also kind of resents me now. . One because I am doing better. And two... Ok. We haven't really seen much of each other since last summer because of school and me without a license and we fought over Christmas break. And I've changed a lot since last summer. I am apparently even MORE of what she wants now. I'm MORE desirable than ever. And she hates the fact she found that out right after she dumped me. I gently reminded her that if she didn't dump me within minutes of getting home she'd have known that earlier. She admitted that was true.
So yeah. One of two things will happen. Either she will want to get back together with me or she will try to avoid me. And we both know the second won't work.

tl;dr: Lottel is doing great on his own and has become more desirable to his ex, who is starting to resent him for being awesome.

EDIT: Just got some texts. Guess who is super desirable to all of his ex's friends? Apparently, she had been telling stories the whole relationship and now they are incredibly interested. Yeah. Tonight was a good night.

Now THAT'S publicity.

That for two weeks in 1977, the Cantina Song from Star Wars was the #1 hit on the Billboard charts.

I learned some awesome food trivia.

Knew #10, not the rest. I had to share it if for no other reason than #1.

I don't know why it took so long for me to get in on the whole Pandora thing. Holy shit.

It's probably a lot more impressive if you have any sense of how extremely picky my musical tastes are.

EDIT: Okay I just made a new station and the first thing it put in it was Rebel Yell. The thing's actually kind of scaring me with how spot on it is.

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #1227 on:** June 12, 2010, 09:39:57 PM »

Should I actually be using Pandora? Does it not suck now?

Brentai · « **Reply #1228 on:** June 12, 2010, 11:19:58 PM »

Depends on your definition of suck. It's ad-riddled but it mostly works, and I've had the thing going on for hours as background noise without wanting to throw my headset across the room, which is more than I can say for any kind of actual radio.

The name "Hayabusa" means "falcon".

That makes Ryu Hayabusa his own worst enemy.

(Also, it makes his name "Dragon Falcon".)

I learned that, traditionally, dhows are sewn together, not nailed.

There is actually a Richard Castle book coming out. And I look forward to reading it.

And since we don't have a "What I didn't learn today" thread:
I didn't learn how to turn on the computer in class. I sat there for a good ten minutes when the teacher walked by, waved his hand OVER the monitor, and it turned on. I suspect the dark arts are involved. It was a mac.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1234 on:** June 18, 2010, 09:54:03 AM »

Tell me that book is hardcore cliché gumshoe noir, because there is no other possible justification for a detective story with a porn star for a main character.

TA · « **Reply #1235 on:** June 18, 2010, 11:36:40 AM »

Not only is there one coming out, it's the sequel to the one that's already out.

Fredward · « **Reply #1236 on:** June 18, 2010, 11:49:04 AM »

was this book written by nathan fillion? because if not, there is just no reason to read it (everything else about that show gobbles primate testicles)

That various celebrities feel that Pingu is a bad influence on children.

Pingu

Büge · « **Reply #1238 on:** June 18, 2010, 08:06:37 PM »

Balderdash!

It teaches children not to waste time no 7-11 no 7-11 no.

Flipping through my PS3's settings and lo and behold, Remote Play is possible using a PC or mobile phone!
Checked it out online, only Vaio's can use this.
Well it just so happens I am using a Vaio.

It's pretty neat, I guess. It's a good step. Screens a bit blurry and there is half a second lag. Let me use my screen as it is, High Definition, and it'll be just fine.
Unfortunately, for some reason my PS3 keeps randomly turning on in Remote Play mode and it's not my laptop. (Well, it's nothing I'm clicking)

I should fix that.
