Congratulate me, step right up, shake my hand

BREEF THOTS ON DR WHO



( OK )

OTHER THINGS:

1. I saw a tourist taking a picture of City Hall with his iPad, and just barely resisted the impulse to smack it out of his hand. WELCOME TO PHILADELPHIA.

2. Being drinking wine like ain't no thang. I was never a huge fan, then suddenly discovered I fucking love it. I wish I could track down every pearl-clutching 16 year old who complains online about how they don't like the taste of alcohol/how they hate being drunk, and give them a hug, and tell them about the future joys of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc and its accompanying gentle buzz.

3. THIS GAME. IS SO GORGEOUS THAT I CRY.



I have yet to find a server that isn't junk, to my eternal sorrow. ALWAYS WITH THE RPG NONSENSE. NEVER WITH THE LETTING ME PLAY WITH TNT. Dammit.

Sporting goods stores! There are other items in the world aside from team jerseys, running shoes, and yoga pants! Dgmw, I know those are big sellers, and I will not knock either the desire to do the joggy yoga thing or cover yourself head-to-toe in Eagles/Phillies/Union gear (sorry Flyers fans, but that is some ugly shit). HOWEVER. I should not have to look this hard for a kettlebell. I'm going to go to Kmart, aren't I. You're forcing me. KMART IS THE WORRRSSST. Fuckin Gallery Mall.

(I am trying to avoid mailordering 20 pounds of metal so no ecommerce links pls.)

I will say though, thank you Modells for selling me a shiny new jump rope, which is adjustable omg the pains of being a shortass PARTIALLY RELIEVED.

Dept. of inexplicable pleasures:



I enjoy that someone is actually still driving a Vdub bus in 2012. (EDIT: yes I do know what year it is, psshhh.) That's commitment! Also I had a fit of nostalgia over the Punch Buggy game (no punchbacks) where if you saw a Beetle you could punch your friend without fear of reprisal. This phenomenon is apparently important enough to warrant a wikipedia article, who knew.

Additionally: I've Got Your Nose , which is contextually hilarious, and (sorry about the racism, we were idiot teenagers) Chink, which now I want to play a whole lot. Yes, I've fallen into a wikipedia black hole, what of it.
