If anyone is going to watch the National Championship Title game this Thursday, you all should be on the look out for me and my posse!

Look for a whole bunch of people ( like 30 of us?) dressed up like Cubans with instruments and what not, all wearing Florida Gator colors in the process.

Mind you this is in Miami, so we figured we would dress the part. (hence Cubans in Mia.)

It's looking to be one awesome stretch of days.

Go Gators!

I'm scared to ask, but what horrible stereotypical clothing constitutes "like Cubans"?

Maybe this is an unfortunate side-effect of being exposed to people from Cuba on a regular basis since I once lived in Florida, but... I'm pretty sure Cubans dress pretty similar to the rest of us 'normal folk'...

....

...

And an extra ellipsis because I think you're being racist... en masse, in PUBLIC, in MIAMI!!! .....

I'm guessing guayabara shirts and straw hats. Don't think he was trying to be racist.

I am Cuban, so I am allowed to dress Cuban?

Anyways, yeah, we are making fun of the people in Miami in general.

My outfit is going to be that of a 60s club owner from Cuba. Very flashy shirt (in Gator colors mind you.), black slacks, Old style farming hat, sun glasses, cigar and some shoes I wore to a quince awhile back.

The point being, people in Miami won't even realize we are poking fun at them, they will probably just join in and celebrate with us. We even have one of out friends dressing like...

who if you all may not know is the spokeswomen for Cuba!

The pictures to follow should prove to be mildly entertaining. I do hope we get on TV!

Those pictures should be awesome. Enjoy the game.

Hooray!

New screen is installed in my laptop. It is bright and shiny and beautiful and has only 1 dead pixel, which happens to be in an area somewhere in the middle of the blank space of my toolbar so who cares!

I am also going back home tomorrow afternoon. Love my family, but we do not get along for more than a week together and it's been two. I am looking forward to returning to the HUMIDITY and the ALLERGY-FREE home in my tiny, cold box of an apartment.

Yay.

And the snow in Vancouver continues to fall. Which incidentally means power outages. Fun! Pity it happened at 9, so late enough to be too dark to do anything, but too early to effectively get any sleep. Ah well, at least they got it back on around 2AM.

superaielman · « **Reply #32 on:** January 05, 2009, 03:43:05 PM »

I thought you like winter weather?

Excal · « **Reply #33 on:** January 05, 2009, 03:58:11 PM »

I do. Vancouver doesn't. Riding the bus over the past month has done wonders to increase my 4-letter vocabulary.

As if a Canucks fan needed practice at profanity. I know the feeling there though, I'm dreading driving through snow for the first time. Not so much for myself (I drive a Jeep), but because Virginia drivers really suck at handling snow.

As of now, VSM is moved into his dorm room, though unpacking may take a bit longer (one outlet, one internet jack - both on opposite sides of the room from each other. Fail! planning there).

Grefter · « **Reply #36 on:** January 05, 2009, 09:33:44 PM »

Cat 5 Cable should be easilly long enough to reach the opposite side of the room without getting in the way if you tuck it behind furniture (unless your dorm is sever hundred metres long).

I just now got Internet up and running. Whoof.

Taish is an absolute angel, and did a lot to help me move in, asking for little, if anything, in return. He ALSO didn't mention how, within 30 seconds of entering my new room, I managed to lock myself off of my floor and had to wait two hours through classes to get someone to open it for me.

Fun scenario! I was walking home today from University and found 3 discarded needles in the bushes of my apartment building. Sketchy Neighbourhoods!

Anyway, I have my computer back now. Updated the graphics card from a 128 bit to 512 bit so now games run way, way better. Pretty cheap, too, which is awesome.

The good: In the past two days, I've gone from having no job to two almost definite jobs--one isn't enough to pay the bills but with loans could, and would give me much needed teaching experience. The other pays the bills, gives me more hours, is closer to my flat, and is mindless enough that I can probably study during it. The fact that the conflict coming up most in my mind now is not "where to get a job" but "which job to choose" is awesome.

The better: My roommate and I were cleaning out our closets and found two boxes of beer left by the previous roommate. Huzzah!

The best: The Porno machine is working again, and the problem was exactly what I thought it was. The ego boost (not a retard not a retard not stupid not stupid shut up voices shut up shut up ha ha I win this round) far outweighs the fact that I paid $35 to find out and do what I found out and could have done just as easily myself.

Motion yet again to shoot 2009 squarely in the ass and move on to 2010.

Cotigo · « **Reply #42 on:** January 12, 2009, 12:12:24 AM »

Motion denied, since all we would do is skip a year and you'd still be in the same situation. We'd just start calling it 2010 and be slightly confused as to why.

Taishyr · « **Reply #43 on:** January 12, 2009, 12:53:45 AM »

More confusion is always a good thing.

The election cycle already sucked, this doesn't make it relatively much worse.

Right?

Right?

Soooooooooooooo a package I've been waiting for since I got back into the US still hasn't arrived. Dealing with UK Royal Mail has lead me to find out that it has been sitting back in my dorm because it was returned due to an incorrect address. Reviewing all the papers I have on this, the address should have been written correctly. I am annoyed.

I two main bosses at my current job.

One is Tai, down to the completely mellow, deep voice and being relaxed.The other is like Meeple would be if he was female, middle aged, and about to retire.

Needless to say, this makes for a delightful contrast at work.

Taishyr · « **Reply #47 on:** January 14, 2009, 03:12:19 AM »

So where's my paycheck, you bum?

superaielman · « **Reply #48 on:** January 14, 2009, 05:39:44 PM »

Get a job and you'll find one.

Taishyr · « **Reply #49 on:** January 14, 2009, 05:52:06 PM »

I thought you said I was your boss.
