Another member...

And more big ups, this time out to the cheese's homie in the 415 fightingcooter8...only took him two damn months to accept that invitation!

And the cheese would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone out there in cheeseland that anyone can post. To take a line from our favorite online comic, let's "take this to the limit!"

As a side note, we, the citizens of cheeselandia, need a slogan. You know, like Semper Fi, or Not In The Face...but better.

Let's get some serious community action up in this biatch!

Props

Big ups to Duke Jezmon for the ol' jumpy-jump, the ol' drivey drive, the ol' ramalamadingdang…




Did you know Irvine has ASTROTURF instead of grass in its lane dividers…the cheese isn't exactly sure how this makes the city any more fascist, but it certainly feels like it does…

Various Musings from Work

The cheese is convinced that a blind, functionally retarded, one-handed chimp could do his new job. He's never felt that he's been too intelligent for a job before (well, OK, he has felt that at the bookmines, but that's a given if you have any brain function), but he certainly feels that way now.

London Bridge FC, the club created by the cheese (and managed by Jimmy Cheese) for Fifa Manager 06 currently sits in 2nd place (just one point out of first) in the Regional Premiere Division; just six levels below England's top flight. In their first season the Runner's walked away with the Regional Division Two title with more than 20 points up on second place Euston City.

Another semester down, another A and A-. Damn 3.85 GPA is like an albatross around the cheese's neck.

WTF Lost?! Why ya bitch btich slap Locke, Eko, and Desmond like that? If those three ain't back next season the cheese won't be able to bring himself to watch'although that four toed statue piece, a la Lord of the Rings, was pretty damn interesting. There is one thing everyone can agree on, though, don't F with the electromagnetism'then again, will Rose's cancer return now that "The Swan" is no more?

How much loyalty do YOU have to your employer?

Under the guise of "taking the wife to the doctor" the cheese is leaving his new job early today to go off on another job interview.

Is this wrong?

In his defense, the cheese had applied for this new job some 2 1/2 months ago, was not called until last week (two days after starting current employment), and it pays more.

Plus, it's at a college, where the cheese hopes to one day end up "molding" impressionable minds (read: secretly feeding students subliminal messages in order to indoctrinate them into The Cheese's Army of Swiss Super Soldiers, whose main goal will be to pull down the current publishing industry and instill the cheese as its rightful head).

So you see, it's all part of the master plan...plus California is an at will employment state, thusly the cheese feels no loyalty whatsoever to current miscellaneous employer #2.

Where has the cheese gone?

Do not fear loyal citizens of Cheeslandia! Your benevolent overlord has not abandoned you. The past fortnight has found the cheese slaving away in the research paper/finals mines in the fabled land of Graduate Studies on the shores of the Overworked Ocean. But the cheese has come out better than ever! Well, the cheese came out, anyway.

As further proof that the cheese is possibly lacking in mental faculties, he agreed to start his new job ON THE SAME WEEK AS FINALS!!!!!! And did he stop there, oh no, because he is still toiling away (in the dark of night, and sun of Saturdays) at the bookmine. The cheese loves it when his work day starts at 8:30 AM and ends at 11 PM. AWESOME!

And it keeps getting better....cause the cheese and momma cheese get to move over Memorial Day weekend, as the school is only allowing us 48 hours to relocate all the shiznit in the hizouse!

Damn, yo, life is best...

Things the cheese loves.

1. Doing homework on a Friday Night
2. Working on Saturdays
3. Working 2 jobs for the awesome 60 hour work week.
4. Reading 15 Elizabethan/Jacobean plays in one semester.
5. The stupid AMC at the Block only having one print of GOAL!
6. Having to simultaneously listen to conversations about the Da Vinci Code/the Pope/christianity, and the goings on at the local high school while trying to write a research paper on literary bad ass and all around genius John Fowles--BOW DOWN IN REVERENCE HEATHENS!!!!!!!!
7. Not being able to play Fifa Manager in windowed mode because it has 3D rendered models...then again, those models are far superior to the DOTS of Football Manager so maybe this is a wash

Cosmology Theory Part II: or Do you need more proof?

Then take a look at this! A book by a person who, simultaneously, represents both the lower-class idiotic redneck *ahem* "majority" and the affluent bourgeoisie golfer elite. Talk about irony overload!

If irony were explosive, like say dynamite, than every copy of this book could level an entire city block.

A question from Baron Tengu

Please pardon the interruption from your regularly scheduled rants from The Cheese. But I have an urgent question for our overseer. If you get quickly upset by seeing former professors in baseball caps and jeans, how would you react to seeing a former professor in maternity clothes?

An open letter to Mac:

Dear Mac,

Kindly suck my ass! Having to sit through one of your "hip" new ads tonight while watching Alias, the cheese nearly threw up in his mouth. The cheese is willing to admit that for some people, (people who have no desire whatsoever to actually LEARN something, people who just want bright colors and easily clickable icons) a Mac may be a pretty good buy. But until every decent computer game produced can be played on a Mac, or until you can buy 3rd party hardware and manually upgrade a Mac system, don't you fucking dare insinuate that a Mac has more "options" than a PC. Yes, PC's have their faults, but there is no hardware monopoly in the PC world. In fact, for the truly discerning PC user there are alternatives to Windows based software environments too.

Yours,
the cheese

Cosmology Theory

Forget the GUT, the real force underlying everything in the universe is...IRONY...damn straight, homes! Don't believe the cheese? Well, that's some attitude mister! Look, you can see it all around you. Take, for example, a perfectly random experience like this one...

Friday, while mindlessly opening boxes of books from good ol' 703 (that's warehouse 703 bitches!) lying in the same box, literally on top of each other, were this, and this. And you say to yourself, but cheese, that proves nothing. And the cheese says, it's not what they are, perse, it's what they represent. A concerted effort, on the part of countless people, to refute "facts" presented in a hack mystery novel. Last time the cheese checked, at no time had Dan Brown, Doubleday, or anyone even remotely related to this book (up to and including Dan Brown's illegal gardner) had ever claimed any of it was "real" or based on "facts."

So why all the uproar? Where were all the books refuting the claim in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that the earth had been destroyed? It's easily as stupid an assumption as thinking that people reading The Da Vinci Code would automatically believe Jesus fathered some children with Mary Magdalene.

The point here, though, is that all Dan Brown wanted was to write a good novel and that it might become a bestseller. Well, opinions may be mixed on the former (but, he really isn't THAT good a writer), but he certainly succeeded on the later. And that success was in no small part thanks to shit like this!
