Excel with the X-L
There's a burning feeling in my guts. Is it hunger? No, it is a foul mood.
First of all, I drew this in like 15 minutes last night, then spent hours trying to figure out a way to make it look interesting, posting it, deleting it, re-posting it, and finally giving up because it's just a boring picture. I guess I wasn't feeling particularly inspired last night.
Then I come in this morning at 7 on the mark, and there are people waiting for me at my desk with shit for me to do. Then one guy is completely over-explaining something, and I kind of cut him off with a "just tell me what you need me to do, not how to do it" type remark, and then I ask him where he saved the data I need to look at, and he goes, "oh, I thought you didn't want my help!" No, dumbass, I don't need your help using Microsoft Excel, but I'm not going to fucking guess where you hid the data.
This task takes me all morning to do, and as I'm working on it I can see my Outlook inbox filling up with new messages (mostly nonsensical questions from Sales) by the minute .. I'll take care of those this afternoon.
Oh, and this is the worst ... I got roped into playing golf with co-workers July 10th in New Mexico. My soul has officially been devoured. Any tips on making that not suck?
A few more days till Philly ...

After thinking about it for 5 more seonds, I deleted your post, 小林 (and Xumbi's 2nd comment accidentally), because joke around as we do, I just couldn't stand to see my oldest friend personally insulted like that ... I guess when your entire perception of a person is based on their comments on someone else's blog, it's easy to get the wrong idea. Shit.

Yeah, see, when you act all nice like that, it just doesn't feel right. It's like, "who are you and what have you done with James??"
Anyway. I'm glad things were resolved peacefully, and net-violence was (mostly) averted.

Yo Xumbi,
Sorry to attack like that man. I'm sure you're not a bad guy but as Dan has said, when your entire perception of a person is based on the comments in a blog... who knows what happens. Anyway, you're last comment invalidates the things I said in my previous post, so it's just as well that they were deleted.
Cheers.

Oh, you run that thing. That's cool. Looks like you have some good tunes on there. If it was compatible with iTunes, I'd check it out sometime, but but iTunes doesn't do ogg.

I want to hear the new Demons + Wizards.

damn it, now I accidentally deleted one of my own comments. I'm just going to stop doing anything.

this thread is cursed; let us never speak of or comment on it again.

I'm not sure what could be better than their first album.
Incidentally, I saw Iced Earth in Austin about 2 years ago and it was the worst live show of my life. On the other hand, In Flames opened for them and that was great. I haven't been that much into a metal show in.. ever. People went nuts for Episode 666.
What was the point of that comment? To say that I'm sure it was the Iced Earth contribution that fucked it all up because last I knew, Blind Guardian was still cool as fuck.

Whoa, you smoke!?!
I'd like to see that. I wonder how you hold your cigarette?
2:03 PM
sigh ... I cleared this up in the comment I accidentally deleted and couldn't figure out how to bring back.
No, I don't smoke cigarettes (though I am not adverse to "joining someone for a cigarette"), only shisha. And I only do that once every month or so. Why is everyone suddenly concerned with what goes into my lungs? I could probably smoke a pack a day for a week and feel better than I do after an hour at one of your houses with your goddamn cats.
hahahaha .. uuuughhh.
2:12 PM
Try smoking cats then.
That's not at all absurd.
5:51 PM
I'm not concerned with what you smoke... all I care is that you let me know next time you come up so we can flog, eat, e&c.
Also where in Japan will you be based? Assuming you go that is. Just so we can visit you if we happen to be in the area.
Also, I am against deleting any comments outside of duplicates. Now the only thing we will know is that this baudburn follow insulted this xumbi fellow! I want specifics! Did you (correctly) call him a winnie?! Did you make fun of his wife?! What happened?!
