It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood for felons.

So I've been enjoying the wonderfulness that is StumbleUpon, a neat little addon for Firefox that basically acts as a boredom vaccine. Basically, you specify the sort of thing that you like to hear about, and then you click the little "Stumble!" button. At their whim, you're instantly transported to an interesting, quirky, or fun little page. It could be anything from a funny video, picture gallery, or list of really silly facts.

Well, catch this - StumbleUpon found me a neat little site called Felon Spy, which has a little handy search feature that tells you exactly who in your neighborhood is a felon. That's right - you can finally figure out if that guy who lives next to you is a rapist. Uh, well, a convicted rapist, because according to my neighborhood the guy who lives next to me is the local rapist-at-large, and the police just don't have enough evidence to convict him.

But that's just hearsay. Didn't hear it from me.

Spontaneous Nerditude

So I've been playing a game called Supreme Commander, which is a "Next-Gen RTS". For those of you who don't speak gamer, that's 'Real-Time Strategy', and was popularized by games like Age of Empires, Warcraft (and, by association, Starcraft, South Korea's National Sport), and Command and Conquer. One of those popular old-school RTS games was called Total Annihilation, and the same folks that made that game decided that the genre really needed a perk-up.

Enter Supreme Commander, which in my opinion, has done the deed quite well. It's got something of a learning curve, but it's not too vicious.

If you like RTS games, you owe it to yourself to check it out [on top if that, I'll lend it to you :P]

The House on Somber Way

The soda intake in this house has become catastrophic. We are seriously going through two 12-packs every two days.

If you're curious, that's roughly $120 a month this house is spending on soda. Which is more than my internet and cable bill combined.

I got fired from subway for sleeping through work on Friday. Lolz.

Family, Friends, and Girl

Megan stopped by and met Marz, and subsequently taught us a new way to play one of our favorite card games, Egyptian Rat Screw, and Marz and I will have a hard time going back. Basically, instead of whoever slaps it first getting the pile, it's whoever can get the cards first, regardless of who actually touched them first. This leads to all sorts of physical violence [and other forms of coercion, in the case of Megan and I's personal games >.> ]

My hand hurts. And my thoughts are drifting to a certain girl in Prospect all too often these days.

It's early. I'm going to bed.
