wonder how the honeymoon was
Man marries a videogame
by Ben Silverman
Buzz up!
November 23 3:24 P.M.
I now pronounce you husband and what?!
In another sign that the world is about to collapse, multiple blogs are reporting that a fan of the Nintendo DS dating sim Love Plus (you know, the really creepy one) liked his virtual lady so much that he decided to marry her. For real.
Apparently, a Japanese gamer known as 'Sal9000' was officially wed to Nene Anegasaki, one of the game's three virtual girlfriends, in what must have been the weirdest ceremony in the history of ceremonies. We can only assume that Ms. Pac-Man was the maid of honor.
While the two aren't planning a honeymoon -- after all, one of them is a VIDEO GAME -- they did hold a small 'reception' in Japan for friends, family and the media, indicating that this is most likely little more than the looniest video game publicity stunt we've seen in some time. Check out this video recap by Boing Boing, complete with footage of the happy, er, couple:

no title needed
I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape, to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, and a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away that I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling, "Make it go away," just make a smile
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered, "How can you do this to me?"
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow

Half empty or half full?
I think I am still recovering from Halloween! Had the best Halloween I've had in years. Well, up until the point I threw up after slamming a jack and coke. I am old enough to know better :(
Anyway, we went to the Butthole Surfers show and then did sixth street. It was a sea of insanity! Saw some awesome costumes. My posse included a beer girl, a pirate and a bowling pin. Tried to go a few places but ended up at:
Jackalope: From what I remember, awesome bar. Weird moment of the evening? Some guy asking if the bowling pin was my BF, kissing me on the cheek and giving me $20 for no reason at all. I was dressed as a librarian, not a hooker......
Have not done in update in a while but been all over.
Scholz Beer Garten: For a Saturday night, this place was dead and boring. I didn't think their beer selection deserved "beer garten" title.
Gingerman: Have not been here since before I moved away. Its in a new location and it's beer selection is like being in a liquid candy store.
Barton Springs Lounge: Can't really give much of a review. Spent our time there freezing our asses off on the patio because the inside smelled like vomit. Good times.
Uncle Billy's: Also on Barton Springs. They serve an awesome pulled pork sandwich and something I had never had before. Pulled pork queso. Cheese is your friend.
J. Blacks: Good music and we danced! Cool but kinda trendy. A couple of 60 year old men bought us all Irish Car Bombs. Drinking with the elderly is strange indeed.
I am sure I have been elsewhere but I've grown tired.
Tuesday night going to Rob Zombie!!!

Tiny, Easy-to-Build Weapons Annihilate Office Boredom
The lunchtime fridge-raider. The stapler crook. The golden parachuter. Cubicle farms are full of enemy combatants begging to be taken out. Your guide: toy designer John Austin, who spent years miniaturizing firepower for G.I. Joe and Star Wars figurines. In MiniWeapons of Mass Destruction, he describes how to cobble together a small-scale arsenal from supply-closet goodies. Here are a few of his favorite workplace munitions (deploy with caution). Ready, aim ... avenge!
