I don't know. Nicholas Cage is whatever. I've enjoyed some of his stuff. But, why spend so much time and energy hating actors? Why spend so much time hating anything? It's a total waste of energy. If I find I dislike something, I simply acknowledge that and move on. No need to waste any more time on it.

Anyway, I squashed a cockroach in the kitchen a day ago. Found out we have giant holes on the baseboards in the kitchen. Told my roommate to call maintenance and have a person come out and throw down some boric acid to see if it fixes the problem, and somebody to come patch the holes.

Three activists who travelled to Chicago for this weekend's NATO summit were accused Saturday of manufacturing Molotov cocktails in a plot to attack U.S. President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home and other targets.

But defence lawyers shot back that Chicago police had trumped up the charges to frighten peaceful protesters away, telling a judge it was undercover officers known by the activists as "Mo" and "Gloves" who brought the firebombs to a South Side apartment where the men were arrested...

Longtime observers of police tactics said the operation seemed similar to those conducted by authorities in other cities before similarly high-profile events.

Cockroaches are the scum of the planet.

Also, taking metal lyrics seriously is stupid. If there's one genre of music that has almost uniformly bad lyrics, its heavy metal. If you listen to it for the lyrical content, you may be mentally ill. Like, I'm not even joking. I'm dead serious.

Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh lord yeah!

An information haze
A cult of crime in rotten rays
An infrared daze
Lysergic lucid dreams
On channel one
Infect the young
The cult is spun

My female roommate convinced me to *catch* a cockroach and *put it outside* the other day, rather than squash it. The things we do for (attractive) women.

As for the cockroach issue, I don't really see the point of saving one single fucking roach either. What on earth is the point of that?

I had a pet huntsman I used to call Spence, he used to live in my lounge room and a hallway, he knew he wasn't allowed to come into the sleeping area of the house, so we had a good agreement. He was always so cheerful and friendly, he'd always put his arms out for a high five or hug every time you went near. Then he ran away after like three months of live-in bliss, and none of the other huntsmans have been as nice. I miss Spence

This is why I generally give spiders a free pass: I don't care if they hang out in the corners of my windows, because I don't really use those exact areas. And hey, if they stop other bugs from getting in, that's just cool. But cockroaches? No, they seek out my food. Bitch, that's MY food, not yours! I worked to earn the money to get that food, so there's no way in hell I'm letting a bunch of little freeloaders eat it all out from under me!

I love poor English.

This guy must have been so mad at Jesus that he couldn't even spell his name correctly.

A member of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and others in 1534, to do missionary work. The order was zealous in opposing the Reformation. Despite periodic persecution it has retained an important influence in Catholic thought and education

I'm pretty sure our beloved friend XXL would do that...who wouldn't feel guilty about killing a cockroach?!

The only movie I remember liking him in was Raising Arizona. Haha, that's a good one. He's in some other good/decent movies but he's not particularly good in them.

On the topic of lyrics, in contrast to the examples above, I'm asked to check out various more or less mainstream r'n'b/pop/hip-hop songs on an almost daily basis, and I'm constantly appalled by the poor, bland lyricism in this vocal- and lyric-centric music. This isn't another pop rant, nor am I saying there isn't a bunch of metal with shitty lyrics, but calling metal out for having particularly bad lyrics unusually often seems to me oddly biased and angled.

To clarify, the Jesuits are a Catholic religious order.

I'm going to regret asking this, but is there anyone on here willing to see Motorhead, Slayer, and Anthrax at Mayhem Fest (even with this lineup)?
