Choices

Still up in the air

Should I run a bot to play FreeRice all day? (Comments appreciated)...

No! leads over Yes! (271 days ago)

Make a suggestion

I want my parents to appreciate the TV I watch. Do I......

buy them the Firefly DVD set leads over buy them Battlestar Galactica miniseries/first season (2 years ago)

Make a suggestion

Set in stone

I have a little bit of money burning a hole in my pocket!...

I decided to do Something else rather than Obtain an electric guitar, amp & lessons (buying or rent or something) or Invest it as play money in assorted things I wouldn't invest in with my "real" savings (1 year ago)

I have a secret desire to be a punk rock grrl, or something like that with less inane spelling...

I picked buy a guitar and try to learn to play over rent a guitar and see if I actually stick with it longer than I typically do with hobbies (1 year ago)

I convinced my boy to rent two movies tonight. Which one should we watch?...

I picked The one with the pretty, swashbuckling pirates over The one with the pretty, angsty gay love story (1 year ago)

yarrr!

I like octopus & other cephalapods best among the mollusks, both for eating and for admiring. I think they are smart, dangerously close to the line of "smart enough and human-like enough that I should protect them."...

I picked Eat them! They are tasty, aren't harvested unsustainably and it isn't any more morally objectionable to eat a squid than a cow. over Give up eating them: it is more morally objectionable to eat an octopus than a cow or a sheep. (1 year ago)

Tasty is a very convincing motivator

my sister's birthday is in a week and I haven't gotten her anything yet :( ...

I decided to do Something else rather than send her something from amazon, so it gets there in time (cheaper, easier, but it feels like a cop out) or spend the day shopping, hoping I find something cool, and send it via regular mail (more expensive and time-consuming, with a lower chance of success, but with potentially much cooler results) (1 year ago)

so, I have this thing against genocide. I'm planning a honeymoon, and the leading country committed some genocide about 15 years ago...

I picked go! everyone was doing it back then OR it's different people in power now OR there's nothing like capitalism to encourage everyone to hold hands and sing kumbaya over find someplace else (2 years ago)

Croatia was the destination, for the record. Genocide against Serbs & others during WWII and, of less magnitude, during the early 1990s. Still going -- it seems like a pretty cool country.

last minute business trip, involving booking tickets now and getting on a plane by 7ish tomorrow:...

I picked go! over don't go (2 years ago)

I bought a dress that is pretty, but isn't flattering on me. it may be if I lose 10 lbs. ...

I picked keep it - nice dresses will come in handy over get rid of it - no reason to keep something that doesn't make you look good (2 years ago)

through the miracle of control-top pantyhose, I realized it does look good on me the equivalent of ten pounds lighter. which is totally within my normal weight range, yay.

I will be deliberately vague here....

I decided to do Something else rather than focus efforts on something really cool with a low probability of success or focus efforts on something mostly cool with a medium probability of success (1 year ago)

should I change the spelling of my name?...

I picked kaia over kaja (2 years ago)

you all are boring

take my car to a carwash...

I picked of course! rain doesn't wash the undercarriage over nah, it rains every couple of days; don't waste your money (2 years ago)

so, travel:...

I picked leave wednesday evening & sleep in DC prior to the morning meeting over get up at 5 am & fly to DC for the morning meeting (2 years ago)

should I.......

I picked stay at home and work on not being flat broke over go to Japan, despite being flat broke (2 years ago)

read-only media!...

I picked movies over television (2 years ago)

read-only media!...

I picked books over movies (2 years ago)

seamus heaney books :)

There's this party tonight. I've felt a little too sober and out of place the past few times I've gone, and I'm not sure my boyfriend would want to go....

I picked Stay, since you have better and more fun things to be doing. over Go, because there will be cool people you really like there. (2 years ago)

I have got a bit of work to do...

I picked stay up late to do it over wake up early to do it (2 years ago)

What do I want for dinner tonight?...

I picked Naked Fish over Little India (2 years ago)

living by committee, hardcore mode.

stupidest question EVER to be angsting about: do I...

I picked buy new shoes with my yuppie income, since wearing Cute Stylish shoes seems to be an office standard over fuck the man and not waste money on new shoes, and take the slightly beaten-up old ones to a cobbler (2 years ago)

it turns out the old shoes had structural damage, and there was a filene's basement.

Do I bet on the VC industry imploding?...

I picked No over Yes (1 year ago)

at some point soon I'm going to try to do a hardcore oxygenarian run in Kingdom of Loathing...

I picked lead into it with a hardcore no-path run, to get gems (== meat) and a stainless steel item over lead into it with a softcore oxygenarian run, to get a feel for how oxy runs work and start out with canned air (1 year ago)

Welcome to the Kingdom. Noob.

so, I need to be in New York Jan 30/Jan 31 and in DC Feb 1. Right now I'm scheduled to get back to boston at 9 pm Jan 31 and fly out to DC at 5:30 am Feb 1...

I picked coerce my firm into paying for a hotel in DC the night of Jan 31 over go back to boston to sleep. more frequent flier miles is good for you! (2 years ago)

tomorrow morning...

I picked get up extra early and go to the gym over get up a little early and go to work (2 years ago)

so, this weekend......

I picked do mystery hunt like I've been looking forward to, go dancing, have fun & not get too screwed if I end up at work over do something crazy and expensive, but reaffirming of my "I do silly spontaneous things" self-image (2 years ago)

cut my hair?...

I picked yes, it's more professional and easier over no, people fawn over it when it's long (1 year ago)

yes, but not /short/ short

about actually using an RSS reader...

I picked duh, you dimwit. welcome to five years ago. over no, as being able to consume more media will cause you to consume more media, and at some point that's a bad idea (1 year ago)

I'm at work for a little while yet and don't have my iPod...

I picked listen to a streaming radio station (e.g. Pandora) over listen to the backlog of industry-relevant podcasts sitting on my desktop (2 years ago)

Should I? http://preview.tinyurl.com/yzfqkk (BlueFly.com)...

I picked save over splurge (2 years ago)
