The Ra'ad Man drama takes a new turn!

I forsee a long journey of self-discovery after which we will see a new and improved (and liberal?) Raadman.

When Marketing uses "youth" jargon.

From a document released by our Marketing department today:

"By intelligently “mashing up” the content and transactional capabilities of multiple enterprise and web services..."

Uhg. That is awful.

I hate that so many American acquaintances have started conspicuously using British-isms recently:

-"Cheers"
-"Mucking about"
-"When I was at university..."
-"Brilliant"
-"shite"
-"a proper _____"
-"colour"
-"arse"
-"get a pint"
-"dodgy"



Is it okay to slap these people?

I think it's okay, depending on what British-isms they use. The more obscure and the more a consequence of being really into British TV, the more I think it deserves a pass. Also, the less it's done with a fake accent, the better.

I like to say:
-- "Well" instead of "Very"
-- "Rubbish"

Thoughts?

I always say "gaol" and "colour."  I use the American spellings, though.

i use, "...yeah?" instead of "...right?" as confirmation.  maybe i deserve a slap.

I just remembered that I also have used Nathan Barley-isms like, "Keep it foolish," and "well jackson," in a fashion that's too casual.

Let's all agree we deserve slaps.

the tv show Lost

the more I think about it the more I hate it, but after watching 4 (20-some episode) seasons I cannot bring myself to stop watching it now...

at least with Entourage it's bad in a semi-fun way. Lost just makes me angry. I'm gonna ride this thing to the end and hate every second of it.

Amoeba Music in LA doesn't have any dad-gummed thing by the DC Snipers.  Not a ding dang thing. No LPs. No CD's. No 7 inchers. Hell, I couldn't even find the MP3 section in that circus tent.

Fuck the fact that my car is stuck on the ice with a flat tire. That is some shitty luck.

i looked for a lot of stuff while i was there last weekend with no luck.  but they had plenty of overpriced crap i would never buy.  FOUR copies of a def leopard LP anyone?

PS its still my idea of heaven though: an enormous record store with people who ignore me and get in my way whenever i want to look for something.  yet still, i walk out with my arms full of bags.
