Dangerous Liaisons
Mes chers amis,
Il a été vingt ans que j'ai vu cette loi. Elle tient bien à l'épreuve de la
heure. Pour voir la Marquise de Merteuil dans son premier, Madame la recherche du Tourvel
rayonnement), mais j'ai rarement avouer de telles choses à son sujet), la jeune Cécile de
Volanges dans la fleur de la féminité, et même Madame de Volanges, elle montre
peut faire tourner les têtes. Le Vicomte de Valmont est précis avec ses coupures, comme les
cruel de bouchers, et la Marquise lui correspondait coup d'accident vasculaire cérébral.
Comment ne pas profiter de dialogue comme celle-là?
L'amour et de vengeance. Deux de vos favoris.
Je dis, vous stupide petite fille, à condition que vous preniez quelques élémentaires
précautions, vous pouvez le faire, ou pas, avec autant d'hommes que vous voulez, aussi souvent que vous voulez, en autant de façons différentes que vous le souhaitez .
On ne félicite pas la teneur de la compensation de la gorge.
Elle est étonnante. Tant et si bien que j'ai fini par tomber sur mes genoux et
gage de son amour éternel. Et savez-vous que, à ce moment et pour plusieurs
heures après, j'ai vraiment ce qu'il disait.
Parce que quand une femme est au cœur d'une autre, elle manque rarement,
et la plaie est toujours fatale.
Je vais simplement me bornerai à remarquer que le "non" sera considérée comme un
déclaration de guerre.
Je peux tout, mais de garantir que cette inspiration ou contribué à la Monsieur Jean Wick livre Maisons de l'Blooded.
Cette décadence de la cruauté presque apporte une larme à l'œil.

Seattle Pride Parade
Seattle Pride Parade was this morning. Except at 11am, not 9am like Wes (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) wesschneider) thought it was. Silly Wes!
Our group was Wes, Jeremy (jfrog78), Matt and Helen Sernett, Russ, and three friends of Russ's who I didn't know before today (Patrick, Kaylyn, and Chris). We picked out a good spot, technically before the starting location of the parade, right where the Dykes on Bikes® had their motorcycles parked before they rolled out to lead the parade, so we got an early view of the entire event. I only took a picture of the pipes and drums (you know, with the bagpipes and all that) because my dad is into that stuff, but Wes apparently took many pictures and if he doesn't share them later, I will... including some of me crossing the street, covered in loot, looking like I'm part of the parade. :)
It was a good time. Good to see people out supporting the GLBT community, including many progressive politicians and gay-friendly churches.
Afterwards we went to Rock Bottom for some food and I had some excellent nachos with beans, cheese, chiles, guac, and salsa.
My loot from the parade includes:
A Washington Mutual yo-yo that lights up when you spin it
several colors of Mardi Gras beads, including a set from Chipotle in the shape of little chilis
some kind of fruit/nutrition bar, I think from Odwalla (I ate it and don't have the wrapper)
a dark chocolate flavored protein bar from ThinkProducts (mmm, delicious maltitol...)
a black bandana from Macy's with a rainbow border, which I wore on my head or around my neck much of the day
tons of stickers from various organizations and groups, most of which ended up on my shirt, though I nabbed an extra Rat City Rollergirls sticker for Jeff Alvarez at work
some organic soap and lotion from Dr. Bronner
magnets and temporary tattoos from various organizations and groups
a fluorescent orange pencil from Safe Schools Coalition.org
a couple of those flexible rubber bracelets from some local pro-gay churches
candy
condoms (one of which is extra large, very flattering, thank you)
some Via instant coffee from Starbucks (guess I gotta find someone who can use that)
a playlist from Balagan Theatre with some stuff that looks interesting
There were a lot of groups participating in the parade, I'll just link to the official list. Some were simple, some were sedate, some were flamboyant, some had some really hot girls (some of whom may have been straight). There were a few roamers that weren't part of any group, the most memorable were the two guys on rollerskates dressed as Batman and Robin, and by "dressed" I mean "they had masks, speedos, and capes"--a cool them and they were in really good shape and actually made me feel scrawny and flabby every time they passed by. :p
I'm really glad I brought my backpack, both to carry my swag (the stuff I wasn't wearing, at least) and for my couch pillow, as it meant I could sit on my backpack for the duration of the parade and not have to deal with the cold concrete.
Overall, it was a good parade, good company, I'm glad I went, and glad I was able to show some support for the GLBT community.

Happy anniversary, Keri and JD!
(Aha, it's not yet midnight here, so it still counts....)
A year ago today (the 21st), I had the honor and privilege of being the best man for my friend JD Wiker when he married my sister Keri. They're really good for each other and they're really happy. Though they live on the opposite side of the country now, I think about them every day and wish them much happiness.
Congrats, guys! :)

Rent was awesome
The voice of Adam Pascal (playing Roger) has changed but was still strong.
Anthony (playing Mark) was spot-on, and it was great to hear him and Adam singing their songs live after hearing them on the soundtrack all these years.
The rest of the cast was good, I like how they used the stage space (with a multilevel physicality like Rent, it's always interesting to see how they fit the show on a smaller or larger stage).
Well done. If the tour comes through your area, you should see it.
And it was on the heels of a nummy and fun lunch with Lisa and Rowan, my two friends with whom I saw Star Trek the night before. Yay!

Double ask-out failure, Ticketmaster fail, Star Trek in IMAX, two new friends, Rent, free RPG day!
So I ask her out to see Rent on Sunday with me because Wes and James bailed. She doesn't like musicals. Crap!
So I ask N from Starbucks if she wants to go to Rent on Sunday. No-can-do, it's father's day and she's going to her father's baseball game. Crap!
So I want to order a ticket for myself for Rent. Bank of America's stupidity means I have no debit card, so I find my Discover card (which I haven't activated because I don't use it) and activate it and use the Ticketmaster website to order a ticket. Site can't process my card. I call Ticketmaster and order a ticket. Success! Then they call back and tell me they can't proc my card. Failure! They give me TM locations in the area I can pay cash at (I had specifically withdrawn cash for this purpose, was going to buy a ticked at the box office but can only do that 90 minutes before the show you want). TM says they can only hold this ticket until 9pm Saturday, and when I get to the in-person location I'll need to call to cancel that reservation so the ticket is released so I can buy it in person. I zoom out there, talk to the employee, she's new at in and has to call in. Turns out they released my ticket anyway. Bastards! We order a new ticket and find me a comparable seat. Point comes to pay cash, computer tells her the total, I put the cash on the counter, comp wants her to enter how much cash I'm paying but it won't give her the option to do so. She's on the phone for 5 mins. Meanwhile the friends I'm supposed to meet for dinner and Star Trek IMAX call and let me know they've arrived at the mall. I wait 90 more seconds, then take my money and leave, because employee is making no progress and I have places to go and at this rate I'll be better off buying a seat just before the show on Sunday even if it's a worse one, and this way TM doesn't get any of my money, the idiots.
The people I'm meeting are friends from Warcraft who I've never met before but they live only 20 mins away in Renton. They're fun in person and we get along well. We go see Star Trek in IMAX (my first time seeing it in IMAX, their first seeing it at all) and good for everyone! Also it turns out they're musical fans, so I'm about to head out to see Rent with them at 1pm today!
Also, today is Free RPG day. I'll just point at what iuztheevil said because it's spot on and I'm in a rush. Short form: Paizo's Free RPG Day item is very cool and you should get it.
TL;DR: Rejected by two girls, Ticketmaster failed me, I have two new RL friends, see ST in IMAX, Rent is today, so is Free RPG Day.

frakkin Bank of America!
As a bank, you suck.
Sure, my dispute is resolved,
But you blocked my card.
Your reason was dumb.
Suspicious activity?
Seattle is home.
Yes, you heard that right:
Too many Starbucks charges.
A block from my place.
And here's the worst part:
I was going to ask her out
But you ruined that.
The lesson I've learned
Is that B of A is lame
Time for a new bank.
