Its April 15. That means I get my friends back from the clutches of tax season. Tomorrow I'll be meeting up with some friends and get the cars out for the spring. Hello NSXs good to see you. Hello Vipers, good to out drive you.
RAVE: The kid is stabilizing, the wife is doing better, and all seems to be quite alright. I'm sooo fucking glad. RAVE: Chinese philosophy. It is just...awesome. The more I learn about it, the more egotistical Western philosophy seems.
RANT: Pseudointellectuals. RAVE: - 7 days off. - Heading down the shack. - We got $315 back for our empty bottles. RANT??: That's over 3000 empty beer bottles.
Rave: It’s going to be a TWO STEAK DAY. Getting taken out to lunch at a steak restaurant by some clients and to my favourite French place tonight by Stabette for my birthday. The French place does the best eye fillet with béarnaise sauce I’ve ever had. Rave: Will probably be 2 bottles of red deep by dinner. Rave: Stabette baked me a cake yesterday and brought it out with candles, was very sweet. What I did to thank her, not so sweet. But she didn't seem to mind.
RAVE: Playoff hockey!!! I haven't been this excited since... well, since Olympic hockey two months ago. Anyway, game 1 against the Kings tonight! Can't fucking wait.
Rant: Is there a more boring class than intro to international management in undergrad? Yep, intro to to international management for an MBA program. Fuckin required courses. Rave: Having fun thinking about what I want to pick up for dinner.
Rant: I haven't gone anywhere since I got off work, so I didn't bother changing out of my work clothes. I thought I would enjoy a relaxing evening of reading and drinking a glass (read: bottle) of wine. Somehow I just managed to spill red wine all over my fucking khakis. Any recommendations for keeping that from staining? Rave: Tomorrow's Friday and my boss won't be there, nor will his boss who has been there all week (he doesn't usually work out of our center.) Huzzah to the week finishing out on a good note.
Rant If Robert Pattinson (that butt nugget from "Twilight") ends up playing Cobain in the Nirvana biopic, I will burn an effigy of that douchebag on my front lawn.
Rant: Can't find a fucking Bellator stream. Rave: The Canucks are gonna fuck up the Kings in T minus 48 minutes!
Rave: This afternoon I got a free meal at Chick-Fil-A for being the 100th customer of the day. And just like that, an otherwise unremarkable day became something extraordinary.
RANT RANT RANT!!! This fucking sucks. Very sad day. Type O is one of my all time favorite bands. Blend the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and just make it darker and lower and you've got magic. October Rust is one of my favorite albums of all time. I've been waiting for a new album from them for a good while now and now it looks like that wait will be permanent. Fuck!
Rave: Everyone has been asked to bring in some kind of french food or whatever to my french class tomorrow. Me? I'm bringing wine. Convinced a girl in class to bring some too. I don't *think* I can get in trouble for this, whatever. I can't pass up an oppurtunity to drink freely in class (at 9:30 am).
Rave: All caught up on reading for class, and now I have nothing to do except watch Firefly guilt-free. Rave: With chocolate. Lots of delicious chocolate.
Rave So I guess I'm dating a girl from Georgetown but whatever becomes of it it's a really, really awesome thing. If you can believe it, not only a Georgetown student, but an English major (masters), FROM Berkley, California and not pretentious at all. Totally down to earth, non-elitist, chilled out girl who's completely comfortable with herself and likes me. It's pretty fucking cool. Rant The tension is escalating between me and my roommates. Besides the dryer fiasco, when I went to Georgetown girl's house last night with a bottle of wine I couldn't find my wine key anywhere, so I grabbed my roommate's metrokane rabbit opener as I rushed out the door. What was the text I got a few hours later? "Hey have you seen my rabbit opener anywhere?" I got the proverbial passive-aggressive email with my roommates cc'd on it the next day. I guess I'll conveniently forget the time you stayed up with your stupid friends laughing at the dumbest shit and making endless amounts of noise until 4:00 am when I had someone over and had to be at work at 9:00 am the next day. Nope, don't think about that at all, your roommate borrowed your rabbit opener and left the cupboards open, this must be stopped.
I've had two friends move to Portland, Oregon in the last month. A third leaves at the end of April. The fuck is it with that city? Did I miss something? Are they blowing people for nickels?
Rave: Got my tax return on a TurboTax debit card today. Bought an XBox 360, some vintage boxing posters, and loaded some money onto 5dimes.com to gamble with [Martinez over Pavlik]. I also got my fattest paycheck of the month for working 8 hours Easter. I paid my rent which isn't due for three weeks so I will be sitting on my paychecks the rest of this month. Going to LA next weekend to cover three fights in three nights. Mega Rave: Went to the bar with a girl, had about 3 beers and some food, she had a few vodka red bulls and nachos. My bar tab was 36 cents. I tipped 20 bucks and said peace. That was muy bueno.
Rant: Large groups of people I don't know make me uncomfortable. So I ditched. Gonna catch hell later today.
Rant: Caps, what the hell? It seemed like we just couldn't put anything together last night. Montreal was quicker and more agile and they wanted it waaay more. And Ovechkin, what disease did you get that caused you to lose all of your intensity? I know they defended you pretty well, but that was atrocious. Over 22 minutes of ice time and not one legit shot on goal? Get your shit together.
Rave: I just discovered http://www.pandora.com. This is awesome. I signed up and typed in "Sublime", and this thing has not played ONE song I didn't like all week. And it plays similar artists, so it has already turned me on to a shit load of new music. Don't know how I missed this for so long..
