When I was 14 I saw Picasso's Blue Guitarist at the Art Institute of Chicago and it cracked my brain open. I'm not a Picasso fan anymore but the experience will stay with me forever.

ingopixel commented on The Ramen Rater Hits 1000 Reviews.

As an adult I still adore instant noodles and have been following the Ramen Rater for years. It's strangely addicting to get a new packet of noodles and search through his archives to see what he's said about it.

Well would you look at that! I have Tuesday evenings free now, so this should fit that timeslot nicely!

ingopixel commented on Facebook Is Trying to Reinvent the Emoticon.

Just look at Skype, their animated emoticons are excellent and in my opinion, they elevate the conversation.

ingopixel commented on Twilight Exit Will Host a Benefit on February 10.

He is getting worker's comp, but as a doorman he doesn't make much and the money he is getting from L&I is only a percentage of his salary. Also, not working means not getting tips which is usually a good chunk of a night's pay. His medical costs are at least mostly covered as far as I know, the money from this benefit is mostly to help pay his rent etc.

I don't know details, I could be wrong on some of this, but it's what I've heard. I'd be glad to see someone involved more closely comment here about what is and isn't taken care of for him.

ingopixel commented on Local Coffee Chain Starts Charging Customers a 1.5 Percent "Sick Leave Surcharge".

I've known a few of his employees over the years and they are the nicest, most amazing people who get seduced by his warm, loving, open arms, soft spiritual vibe and then end up talking about how batshit he is. It's a damn shame.

ingopixel commented on Cheroots in Seattle?.

I used to smoke bidis about 10-12 years ago which are similar but smaller. Unfortunately they are outlawed now as far as I know. I wouldn't be surprised if cheroots are too.

ingopixel commented on LOST (TV Series 2004–2010).

Oh my effing god people, Jin was clearly the hunkiest. What is WRONG with you people???

The ending was a little disappointing and I was sad that all the hours I spent rewinding and pausing and obsessing over the Lost Wiki for clues to the tiniest mysteries in every single scene were for naught. But man, wasn't it fun to have something to obsess over like that?
