Pet Peeves - Dumb Arrests, Bad Music at Parties & Michigan State

A guy sued his ex-wife for going online and killing his avatar in something resembling 'Second Life'. 'Suspicion of hacking'. I was thinking about a rationale as to why one would go to the police about something like this. The last straw, perhaps? 'You won't stop calling, e-mailing me, showing up at the house and now you're logging onto my shit?! I don't think so.' Or maybe he spent so many hours perfecting his avatar to look just like him and get all these experience points (or whatever). I spent a lot of time playing The Sims 2, until my computer, for some reason, can't run the CD for more than five minutes. I think I just need to get a new, unscratched version. Regardless, I spent hours, days, playing The Sims 2. When my computer crashed and I lost my family, I was a bit disappointed. (Bangs doesn't know how to do anything online properly aside from checking her Myspace.) As much as she pisses me off, I don't think 'calling the cops' crossed my mind. I just went 'Oh, okay, that sucks. Maybe I should try reading a book next time I have the summer to kill.' And shit, if he's that into online avatars, that bitch should be glad they're divorced.

While I love drinking, I'm not what you would call a 'partier'. I've never done a kegstand (the laws of gravity just confuse me on that one) nor have I danced on a table, barstool, etc. I don't really dance a whole lot anyway. (I'm not all that great at dancing. That whole 'dance like no one's watching' thing doesn't work because I know someone's watching at all times. Even God would be like 'Ruth, take a seat' at my moves.) Regardless, lately, the music played at my favorite house to drink-and-watch-everyone-else-dance-at has been deplorable. No one can dance to Bon Jovi, unless you're a mom at a concert with your friends and you're ripped on wine coolers. Lil Wayne is acceptable only if it's 'Lollipop' and not his lyrical raps. Cupid Shuffle once a night at around 1am, when everyone's ripped. Soulja Boy only per request, because it's horrible and thankfully, most people are over it. How hard is it to come up with a playlist of crunk rap and songs that everyone knows/can dance to? I don't understand. Even I know not to play the YMCA at a party because no one really wants to dance to it...unless they asked, or course, in which case I would gladly stop any song that was playing and blast it.

It's the Michigan/Michigan State game today. For the first time in probably my entire life, I think the Spartans are going to win. And that's unfortunate. There was a brief period in my life when I was a State fan (because I liked green). And Michigan has a much more extensive history of winning and all-around better-ness than State. But today...State's going to win. And that makes me want to puke.
