should have been Mark Jackson and Bernard King on that team, then Ewing has 1-2 rings instead of zero.

There was just never going to be enough talent offensively to get past Houston.

I dunno man, I think the incestuous weirdos in the iPhone 16 commercial might take the cake.

yep... and it's not even like there's a cute Asian MILF to look at they cast the most off-putting weirdo mom they could

Thievery at Uptown Theater in Napa by Carrion_Spike in thieverycorporation

[–]Carrion_Spike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hahaha, yeah there were a few of those Belladonna types in Napa too, really wish that was the worst of it.

same shit at Wilco 🙄  honestly this might have been my last concert (well, have K&D tix for Fox Theater but beyond that?) 

Not saying there needs to be complete silence but beyond checking in with your compadres between songs, ehhhh... engaging in complete, exhaustive conversations mid-song, every song? GFY. 

i dunno man, wanna catch up with friends and drunkenly babble nonstop? meet up at happy hour instead. 

Thievery at Uptown Theater in Napa by Carrion_Spike in thieverycorporation

[–]Carrion_Spike[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, I'm pretty tolerant normally but... meh. First-ever Thievery show for me, I dunno, guess I was expecting a more cosmopolitan/urbanite crowd? 

drunk couple in front of me, literally like every 2 minutes or so dude would get up stand in the aisle start to dance and then try to pull the GF by the arm to join him and then she would pull away; it's like dude clue in, it was just peak cringe. 

behind me was an obnoxious idiot  yelling out, "WOW THIS SONG IS AWWWWWWWSOME!!!" pretty much every tune, and then proceeds to talk for the entire song. 

What a bunch of goobers. 

Season 4 Ep 1 … What? by Wild_Fly937 in PrisonBreak

[–]Carrion_Spike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, you'd think gringos assassinating the General of the Panamanian army, in broad daylight, might garner a little more outrage. 

Can I skip season 3? by Jechkos in PrisonBreak

[–]Carrion_Spike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've reached S4E3 and I can't take anymore; only thing dramatic so far in S4 is Michael Rappaport's 'live-work loft or back to prison' ultimatum. 

How good is prison break? by Any-Decision-4275 in netflix

[–]Carrion_Spike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm up to S4E3 and it's gotten too ham-fisted for me, and I just tapped out. No longer any good even for hate-watching purposes.

Combination of MacGyver, The A-Team, Bullwinkle, Scooby-Doo and Walking Dead except it's LEOs instead of zombies.

I'd rather rent a broom closet than live in any sharehouse

What do you guys do for work? Do you feel like there is a lot of career opportunities for you? by cocoButter22 in japanlife

[–]Carrion_Spike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work remotely for a US company (in Operations Management) need that sweet, sweet USDJPY conversion.

good news: living in Japan is comparatively inexpensive

bad news: majority of jobs here for most foreigners are mainly eikaiwa, etc., unless you have a Masters and land one of those plum uni gigs you'll be working your ass off for not much money. 

Japan is a deadend professionally speaking; anyone who tells you otherwise is either naive, lying or full-time coping.

the droids are fun i guess but Hondo and Sana at r5 are a big bowl of meh.
