I do too actually, but the closest to me is in Lufkin, 20 miles out, whereas Whataburger is 5 or belowin the mileage dept.
Chris and his Cali friends all prefer In N' Out to Five Guys, which I do not understand at all.
Lol yeah, I knew what all the games were about, but I just never played them.
I must have skimmed over Pool Nation. Usually, I don't like pool or bowling simulators, but I'm somewhat of a pool shark in real life and played pool a lot in my grandpa's basement as a kid and in my Freshman year of college in the game room in the dorm.
Might give it a shot if you say it's close to the real thing. The sims I've played are definitely not. lol
I had an awesome experience as a kid with renting it and going to print my photos at the Blockbuster kiosks for the game. I saw two copies for $9.95 at Game X Change this weekend and was tempted, but thought I'd better wait, cause I remembered it being short and didn't want to burn through my purchase in a weekend.
So we had the exact opposite experience, basically. Interesting. lol
I too would friggin' love a Wii U version though. Hell, I might even buy a Wii U if they were smart enough to realize the potential of a photo game in the age of Instagram and really put effort into making it more substantial.
March is awesome! 
I almost forgot we have a birthday this month, and only two days apart! Happy Adoption Day to Bandit! And damn straight Spring only starts "theoretically," it's 23 degrees here in Nac! It was nice Spring weather not two days ago! Sometimes I don't like the fact Texas doesn't actually have seasons and just changes its weather mood as it pleases. Blech. I don't mind though, I felt fine in the rain yesterday and who knows? Maybe that 20% chance of precipitation will come through today and leave some slick roads to keep me out of my office tomorrow. I can dream. Is the Itidarod streamed online? I know you follow it somehow, but I forget exactly. Might be interesting to expand my sports horizons.
That's awesome you have a professor that wrote short stories, although I'm not sure if I'd relate to the old-age related tales in The Merry Widow Fox-Trot, but the review I just read makes it sound like there are great characters, and I'm a character-driven story kinda guy, so it sounds interesting. I had a Creative Writing professor my Senior year who had a few poems and short stories published in The New Yorker, which I didn't mind being required to subscribe to. Being from New York, she was culture shocked that Texas professors actually stop and visit with each other during the day! lol I love talking to my professors when I check the station's mail box upstairs. Makes my job feel like more of a community kinda thing, which is needed, cause otherwise I'm holed up in my office staring at a screen.
Of course, I'm not sure if some of the kids in that class did anything to help any stereotypes she may have had of "ignorant southerners ..." the stereotype is not exclusively accepted by people outside of the south (God knows Dallasites do not have the most favorable view of those in rural areas), but hopefully she knows we're not all so ignorant.
Well, anyway, I am glad that your prof had such an impact on you and may he rest in peace.
And according to Wikipedia, you're watching a show that takes place in Seattle and was filmed in Vancouver? No judgment here. Those both seem like two great places to me. Why does he have no belly button, though? He an alien? I'll have to get around to giving The Walking Dead a try on Netflix, but being not at all a zombie fan, I have my doubts. I wonder if Supernatural is on there.
"And We Danced" was one of the songs I played whenever I could back in my DJ days for Classic Hits. I'd love to see a version of the song you posted with people singing along. My brother and I both love live CDs for that reason, it adds a whole level of atmosphere to any kind of music. I've been stuck in the 90s lately myself and will probably listen to some live Pearl Jam, Goo Goo Dolls and Metallica w/Michael Kamen & the San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra here in a bit.
Who is Asbel? Anyway, have a great Monday! I'm gonna get myself turned back around today on sleep, I know it! Even did a new budget today to account for my smaller paychecks ... now the weight lifting after being awake 24+ hours might be tough if I don't get that out of the way before my 4pm class ... hmmm ...
I was prepared to say she had it coming, cause I thought you meant insult comic Lisa Lampenelli, but yeah that is kinda fucked up.
I forgot you were in a state with Whataburgers. I forget that other people live in the south and near them, because if I'm talking about fast food quality, it's usually with Chris and he's in Cali. lol
I like your first sentence, but the second is blasphemy. 
Miyazaki already won for Best Animated Picture a few years back for Spirited Away, so I'm not surprised the Academy gave it to the film that just broke $1 billion worldwide and was made by an American studio/Disney. I'll probably like The Wind Rises better as well, but it's not a shock it didn't win.
It is. Whataburger's food actually looks like it does in their ads. Here's what that Chophouse Cheddar Burger looks like in the ad:
Ok, so my fries were a bit more flimsy, but they were also fresh and delicious.
I know about the Genesis games on Steam, but considering http://ssega.com has them for free and at least on my end, legally, since there's no download involved, I see no point in paying for something I'd experience roughly the same way anyway. Of course, $29.99 is a damn good price for partial controller support and every Sonic game I can think of wanting to play, so I may reconsider.
As for Sonic CD, it might just be the fact I've beat it God only knows how many times without any effort ... actually, that's pretty much the most relevant factor in determining its being easy and short, so yeah it's objectively easy and short for me at least, based on the number of times I've completed it within like 30 minutes. lol At least the Android version is anyway. Maybe they dwarfed the difficulty from the original, it's always possible.
I mean the girl on the cover puts my body to shame, yeah, but estrogen is my buddy!
I ramble a lot more than you do, so I wouldn't worry. lol
I think I'll ask my family to go to the Angelika to see The Wind Rises over Spring Break. Hopefully, it's still playing. The conflict between art and necessity is a very interesting theme to me, especially recently in my own life.
As daftman mentioned to me when I brought up that there should be some kind of gaming vault to house all the old games as works of art, the Internet is pretty much it, so really you'll probably be able to play that DLC through emulation at some point. I'd agree that it's not really that important though, you still have the core game.
Super Mario RPG was one of the first JRPGs that made me envy people who can enjoy turn-based combat systems, etc. It looked amazing in its time. It still holds up in the looks department.
Speaking of Ace Ventura, watching Ellen and Jim Carey on the Oscars today was like a mini trip into the 90s.
Well, we disagree on Cinderella Man obviously, but Rush is a great film as well. Don't know that it would skyrocket to my top 5 like Don Jon did just now, but it's damn great.
