Refilling Blu cartridges with “E-juice”

Well, my vials of liquid nicotine — “E-juice” — came, and I experimented with refilling my Blu cigarette cartridges with it. And it in fact works.

FIRST, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: NICOTINE IS A POISON. DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH IT, DO NOT SWALLOW IT, ETC. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS IF YOUR ARE DUMB AROUND LIQUID NICOTINE. TRY TO WEAR GLOVES, AS NICOTINE IS HIGHLY TRANSDERMAL.

Now, with that out of the way, you can, if you wish, attempt to refill your Blu cartridges by following the step-by-step directions in the middle of the following thread:

Happy vaping and good luck.

Pet Peeve #367: People on Laptops at Starbucks

Okay, listen, I have nothing against whipping out your iPhone or your BlackBerry and checking sports, weather, stocks, email, whatever when you’re in Starbucks. But who are these assholes who sit there for hours on end typing away on their Mac Airbooks? Always Macs, by the way. I mean, give me a break. What, you need to be seen out in the open writing to prove that you’re actually writing? Or do you just need to justify the $3k your parents spent on your laptop for college for you?

I would love to tip these jerks’ drinks onto their Airbooks and fry the circuitry.

The funniest thing is, if you go to Dunkin’ Donuts, you never see anybody “fake”-typing away at a laptop. I once saw a guy use one in DD’s, but he was actually working, believe it or not. And the reason people don’t generally use laptops in Dunkin’ Donuts is not, give me a break, because they do not have WiFi service available. It’s because their coffee is actually reasonably priced and tastes good, not just overpriced swill.

And yes, I do drink Starbuck’s coffee, but only one variety: I have an iced caramel machiatto. Those things are damn good. And I make them put like half the bottle of caramel in. For $4.55 a pop, they better put half the bottle of caramel in.

Why the hell should we trust the CBO?

This is a pet peeve of mine. Obama is touting CBO (Congressional Budget Office) numbers to back up health care “reform”. But the CBO’s track record is far from perfect. Years ago, when my father was researching statistics for a PBS show he produced called “The Advocates”, he delved into CBO numbers. And found that, more than half the time, the CBO is flat-out wrong. They would predict growth when there was decline. They would predict decline when there was growth.

Just because they’re supposedly non-partisan does not, I repeat, not, make them right about everything.

If you really think this health care reform bill is going to shrink the deficit, you’re a certifiable moron.

Condolences…

…to a guy I don’t like all that much, Keith Olbermann. His father passed away on Saturday.

Whether I like Olbermann or not, I’m sorry his father died. My condolences. Rest in peace, Theodore Olbermann.

An extremely personal post…

As of today, March 22nd, 2010, I have not had sex in nine years. Do I get an award? 🙂

It’s not that I’m ugly. Here’s a picture of me, judge for yourself. I am a little overweight, but that doesn’t seem to stop most people.

Mostly it stems from the fact that I never really leave the house. Due to loose screws in my head, I’m mostly housebound. So I just don’t get out and meet new people that much. That being said, I could have had sex in the past nine years. There have been numerous opportunities. And I could always, of course, have simply paid for it, but I think that’s sinking a bit low.

Do I miss it? To tell you the truth, not that damn much. Sex always seemed to complicate things for me. It turned friendships bad. It sometimes made me enemies. It’s not like I’m not attracted to women; far from it, I absolutely love to simply look at beautiful women, I really do.

My abstinence from sex also roughly coincides with the time I stopped drinking (for the most part; I still have a few drinks every once in a great while).

Why am I posting this? Why not? People are always talking about how they’ve had sex, so why can’t I talk about how I haven’t had sex?

What I do miss, however, is female companionship. I love having a woman I can talk to, relate to, be close to. Yeah, that part I miss. But the actual act itself, well, I don’t know, it always seemed highly overrated to me. Call me jaded, but I just don’t feel like I’m missing out on much.

I could make an effort, I suppose. I could get out and hit on women and try to sleep with them. But I just don’t seem to have the will to do it anymore. There was a point in my life, when I was say, seventeen or so, when all I thought about was sex. Now it barely even crosses my radar.

Am I totally weird for being like this? I don’t know, you tell me.

And do I get my virginity back now? 🙂

Oh well, now you know.

Final Fantasy XIII & the world’s most annoying character

Okay. I’m in Chapter Seven of this game, and I really wish I could jump in the television and whack the crap out of this character named “Hope”. He’s a little dipshit, who carries on all the time because Snow, another character, wasn’t able to save his mother. All he does is bitch and bitch and bitch and then when Snow comes along he’s too afraid to say anything so he just clams up. It gets to the point where you don’t want to even play the little son of a bitch in combat, because it’s more fun watching him die a painful death.

I HATE THIS KID! Okay, Vanille is pretty annoying, too, but she’s a fun little token sex-object who sounds like she’s doing the nasty during every battle. I can deal with that. I cannot deal with Hope. I want to throttle the little bastard.

You insured Kenny, you bastards!

Right. As of right now, it looks like they have the votes to path health care “reform”.

Despite the fact that poll after poll shows people are overwhelmingly against it.

I hope you’re all waking up to the fact that Barack Obama is not a pragmatic centrist like Bill Clinton, but an arrogant ideologue like…Jimmy Carter.

You fools who elected him deserve every bit of this. And every bit of the consequences that will come about because of this in November. If Scott Brown’s election wasn’t enough to make the people’s collective voice heard, what will be?

Review: God of War III for the PS3

Ah, time for another Playstation 3 exclusive: God of War III.

I haven’t played the first two installments of God of War, but I don’t think I’m missing much. The story is fairly simple. Kratos, our hero, is pissed off at the Gods and aims to take them down, along with all of Mount Olympus.

The game throws you into action right away. You’re hacking, you’re slashing, you’re using your magic, you’re even fighting a boss within the first three minutes.

Gameplay is fairly simple. Kratos has light attacks, heavy attacks, and magic attacks. He collects red orbs from enemies and chests (experience), blue orbs (magic power), and green orbs (health). Occasionally you’re going to get a special item that will have its own meter, which will deplete as you use the item and go up over time as it recharges.

Visually, the game is pretty damn intense. It taxes the PS3’s engine (you can tell by the labored actions of the system), which is saying something. But it all goes down smoothly.

God of War III is reminiscent of Devil May Cry in its use of orbs, its hack-and-slash gameplay, and its presentation of fairly straightforward but challenging little puzzles to get from one area to the next.

One downside of this game is that the “Save Altars” are a little bit too far spaced apart given how hard the game is. Other than that, the only other downside is the repetition — hacking away at enemies gets a tad boring after your third hour of doing it. But enough bosses are mixed in so that you have to think over strategy to make the game worthwhile.

I know a lot of people are huge fans of this game, but I’m only giving it an 8.5 out of 10.
