It's been best to watch the World Cup on Telemundo, also known as the only real way to watch soccer. Spanish-speaking commentators are just on another level of entertainment

Wedding stuff is nearly all in place at this point, what with being about 3 months out? Little nerve-racking, mostly because I've now brought up the idea of a "bridal party dance" to my bridesmaids because it was an option the DJ had on his list, and while I am in love with the idea of doing a stupid choreographed dance, in front of everyone I know is gonna be something else... x.x

Down the isle or at the reception? If it is at the reception just make sure you had enough to drink before hand

[ShiraNoMai]

Down the aisle That'd be something else. Nah it's reception dance. I wanted to do about a minute and a half of Married to the Music by SHINee since it's a real Halloween-y funky song that has really cool choreography. It's gonna be challenging (because all of their dance routines are insanely complex) but I also mostly want to be carried out by my friends for the beginning sequence because it's great

The only good way to watch the World Cup is by not watching it at all.

I am not getting a Halloween vibe to it (and lets be honest here, in the western world if you want a Halloweeny dance number that would be Thriller ;P)  but then again I only understood like half the lyrics

Also holy crap choreographic wise its busy.

As for the isle thing back in 2009 there was this viral video:


It then later appeared in an episode of The Office when Jim and Pam have their ("Second"/for the public) wedding.

[ShiraNoMai]

Touche, DL

It makes the most sense in the context of its original music video, which I hope to have playing in the background projected somewhere in the reception room, but yeah. I only intend to do up to the end of the first chorus because if I had to learn all of the rest of the dance (especially without backup dancers), it'll get way too complex for just a gag bit. Also that aisle dance is amazing XD

Well I was already disquieted from a job posting I Saw as my former employer never let me touch the radiology reading software the doctors used but there is this job in my area for the Vet. Admin Hospital in my area, it read as a standard IT support role, then they wanted some one who had experience in radiology software, then a "certified PACS admin" then this "...Successfully completed 3 years of progressively higher level graduate education leading to a Ph.D. degree, or Ph.D., or equivalent doctoral degree..."

...What the hell...

Well for the first time in years my ban hammer at support was put in to mass useage
+ 4 or 5 more accounts.

EDIT: I thought the auto merge thing would have merged the posts instead of making a second, sorry

[Nightingale]

I found out that for some reason, I get Californian-based games (Angels, Dodgers) for free on Fridays with my standard cable subscription.

Your guess is as good as mine, but I ain't complaining. It's pretty great.

[Mr EliteL]

@PM: The auto-merge should only happen if you post again within 60 minutes I believe.
Was that job you mentioned included with the IT support role?  

Also that wedding entrance video wasn't a bad watch for a viral one. Even with the choice of music that isn't my thing, it fit well.


Good weather we're having recently in my area. Not making use of it though.

So for lunch I was in the mood for Chinese, The one that my family went to a lot as a kid is near my house, I went there but they were closed today, WTF. Okay there is a subpar one across the street I go there and the door is open but no one is there...okay.... I go to google to see if there are any others near me, Find that a Panda Express just opened near me. Odd as I only ever seen them in malls and airports, not free standing.

I go in and order get it home and its all, bland and for some reason the orange chicken is spicy...WTF (heat not flavor).

[Nightingale]

Did you at least enjoy it, dude?

Well, kill me right now. Germany eliminated in first round. WTF?!

[Mr EliteL]

Sounds like a lovely lunch there, PM. One you'd rather just dump in the bin.

Yay, one day at work finished. Then one day off, four days at work, one day off, one day at work, four days off work, and then back to the normal schedule. Also yay hayfever. Or a delay of the cold I had a little while ago, that didn't really make it to my nose properly. Still, say mowing my lawn yesterday during the hot day, and what may had been lingering from Sunday caused this. Glad I don't have to work. although speaking of today's was slow. Seeing how we barely had any stock for some reason, and that it wasn't that busy. Which in the end was good.
