        I love this article. You may too. My favorite part:

        Corruption in FIFA is an open secret. But there are two reasons why America is the only country that can really go after the international soccer cartel:

        1. We straight don’t give a fuck about soccer.
        2. This is how we roll, legally, post 9/11.

        But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

          Sadly I fear the FIFA thing will all come to nothing. Granted I would love to see some major changes in the organization but as we have seen with the IOC any changes will be slowly made.

            I miss old Adult Swim, because I'm old. They lost me at the talking fries and such, I forgot what it's called. I basically lived Metalocolypse so it was amusing to me. I even had a friend who would shout 'I do cocaaaaaine'. She meant it. Good old Cokey McLiesalot.

            I like Gumball and Star. I love ponies. Ponies are a good thing.

            @Arkandel Congrats on the physical level up! It's such a great feeling!

            Fuck FIFA. That's all the constructive things I have on that.

            Fuck flooding as well but I did have a chance to finally break out my Kors rain boots so that's a thing I can love.

            The Prancing Elites. Omg I love that show. And Oleplex. It totally saved my platinum blonde (and pink blue teal) to dark auburn hair. Also Kimmy Schmidt.

            Fun? What is this fun thou speakest of?

              La Follia: music by Antonio Vivaldi, Baroque dance by Robin Gilbert and Carlos Fittante (playing a Cassanova-like character), and live performance by Voices of Music, which is the best early music ensemble I've ever heard, all in high-def video on YouTube.

                  Someone mentioned Almost Live! today. I took a moment to remember the awesomeness that was that show.

                    So after a month or two of fucking idiotic bureaucracy and a interview, it has been decided I am indeed allowed to continue to study at my University next semester, yay.

                    Seriously I almost didn't get to continue because I had one small ass assingment failed because a certain person is the sort of person to fail me because I missed the capital letter in one of the authors in my references, and wouldn't let me fix it and turn it in again til next semester, knowing that I need to have the entire first semester passed to be allowed to continue to the third.

                    But yes I get so, so yay.

                      In personal cooking triumphs I recently figured out how to prepare a serviceable risotto. It's not like, Michelin star risotto, but it's not crap by any stretch.

                      All right. We're gonna do this the scanner way. I'm gonna suck your brain dry! Everything you are is gonna become me.

                        Repeated 12 hour work-days are tiring. I do not love those.

                        What I do love is the 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep I just got as a result of the crazy-work. Awesome dreams. Well rested. Stormy outside.

                        Perfect lazy day off before starting all over again with crazy-work tomorrow.

                              I figure you've probably already experienced the video for the timeless (har, har) David Hasselhoff modern-day classic "True Survivor", but have you watched Hackerman's Hacking Tutorials: How to Hack Time, yet?

                                @Karmageddon Oh yes. I was initiated earlier today. It is a good day. A good day indeed.

                                  So just finished The Witcher 3 (took 50 hours) and I will say it is the most engrossing game I can remember playing currently, infact I would claim to me it is one of the best games I have played. As can guessed by how I was virtually glued to my computer and unproductive as hell this week.

                                  Now when I've finished it I have that slight sense of loss, like when you've finished something but damnit you were enjoying that, I remember having had that feeling about books before but not games. So I guess this is just a glowing reccomendation from me, but man. Loved that game.

                                      @Olsson Yeah, I'm loving it, too. My only issue with it is that I have to murder 60 more town guards in order to wear my new pair of pants.

                                        Another thing I love: Getting to call a customer support agent's supervisor to be able to genuinely say that the agent went so above and beyond in being helpful that I felt the need to call back after the call and make sure her supervisor knew what a good job she did. She said it was going to be documented and put in the young woman's file as a best practices thing, and I was assured that she would be appropriately recognized for her outstanding customer service.

                                        It was hilariously funny though, because none of the people I spoke to in trying to get said young woman's supervisor initially believed they were hearing what I was saying correctly. I guess people don't call in to say 'good job' enough, given how startled they all were.
