I wanna grow up to be Blue Mary.

I got lots of money today at my graduation party that I wasn't expecting. I need to fight my urge to automatically spend half of it on a drum set.

Wait the Dodgers book author? I mean she's respectable enough in a sports journalism kind of way and all but how do you let her piss you off enough to go off the rails when you...well...must have a lot of other people pissed off at you?

Yeah that is what I figured. I ended up taking her aside and being like "I don't know how you found that word but you really don't want to use it ever again."

Still nothing gets you alert for an early morning class like an unexpected n bomb. Better than coffee.

I will say that a number of chinese movies with piss poor subtitling jobs would translate black as the n-word.

Like, for example my mother's watching some movie where a group of home invaders in your typical bad guy ski mask getup are going to home invade this place at night, and the chinese for it roughly translates to "black men", and the subtitling....

I think you are on to something here. She probably read a source in Chinese and clumsily translated it.

More importantly... did the class give her a standing ovation or some weird poo poo?

Class is mostly Chinese but there were a few gasps and a couple of students looked back to check my reaction.

She hadn't even noticed and just kept chugging along

I know this is Japanese, not Chinese, but... people in Asian countries don't like black people, generally, and although they are aware that the hard N isn't the best thing to say, it doesn't carry a social stigma in Asia like it does in America.

My father in law was planning on retiring in September but his boss called him over the weekend to give him the "bad news" that he's not going to be reassigned to a project now that his most recent one is completed. He's being told to work from home for the next couple of months (with no responsibilities) and then he's going to be "laid off" as part of "restructuring" with a full severance package in September.

Are the injustice games good? I loved smash brothers to the point that I competed in regional Meelee tournaments, but most other fighters like Soul Caliber are just too sluggish and boring for my tastes. I saw a twitch for injustice 2 and the fights looked fast, fluid and with more aerial components.
