TU Cent Thoughts, Ides of March 2006

[greybeta]

Thanks cell phone
The backlight on my cell phone went out a month ago, yet it randomly came back on again today. Must be a good omen!

Running hurts
My body screamed "BLOODY MURDER!" when I went for a ten minute jog yesterday. I suppose I should do more than sit in front of a computer screen all day long.

Event/Observation #3
I helped my dad clear out some brush and other tree trimmings yesterday. Monotonous yay for yardwork.

Verse of the Day
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
~John 1:14

Convos of the Day
D2: Why didn't you just attack for the win?
Chris: Because I'm intimidated by you.
D2: What?
Chris: Dude, you never look happy when you're playing Magic. It intimidates me.

Quote of the Day
"Jesus died too soon. He would have repudiated His doctrine if He had lived to my age."
~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Link of the Day
Sony delays Playstation 3. Sadness. :(

Sports Report
USA is in danger in being eliminated from the WBC. Of all things, we need Korea to beat Japan. So, uh, let's go Korea?

Magic drafting
In Guildpact-only drafts, facing double Hissing Miasma when you're playing Gruul is just plain evil.

The miracle of sleep
I feel, like, 10 times better when I can get 10 straight hours of interrupted sleep. Thank the good Lord for spring break! ^_^

It's not okay to lie, but I'm not naive enough to think that it's not necessary in many situations.

Sony delays Playstation 3. Sadness

I can't say that is too surprising. While I commend their decision to enable support for blue-laser DVD playing, they run the danger of tying their console to the 21st century's beta/vhs war.

And the estimated cost for PS3, at a whopping $900, is going to keep investors jittery. Console manufacturers always sell at a loss, but they're losing almost 50% on each unit sold.

You need an "It depends" option in the lies poll.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure what Sony is thinking. Then again, maybe they know something we don't. We'll know for sure a year from now.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

But I already do have one. ^_^

This answer confuses me...

[kmg-365.livejournal.com]

And, of course, there won't be enough supply to meet the holiday demands.

X-Box 360 all over again.

Their insistence on putting everything under the sun in the PS3 reminds me of the car Homer Simpson designed.

Okay, I guess you're meaning that if I say, it depends, then it's okay to lie. So, in that sense, I think it's okay, and I should enter "yes". But I'd apply that rule situationally. Maybe the better question is are there times when it's absolutely wrong to lie?

Good Lord, are you like a lawyer or something? ;-P

[akdidge.livejournal.com]

I never lie. It goes against my moral upbringing, however I will not give out things such as 'the whole truth' unless under order of the court.

Such examples might be simply not admitting more than the specific quesiton that they asked, rather than what they might have inferred. This tends to piss some people off, but I find it easier than telling them a lie. I can remember the truth a heck of a lot easier than a lie.

*Thinks about whether it's a good time to lie*

I prefer to think of myself as arbiter of wisdom and goddess with unchecked power to decide who lives and who dies.

Unless something good is on tv.
