Rave: We don't have to work tomorrow. Rant: Tomorrow marks the beginning of a week of unpleasant anniversaries.
Rave: I was watching the new Diners Drive-Ins and Dives from last night and two places that I have been were featured, on two sides of the country, The Santa Cruz Diner and from my childhood the Peabody Depot in Massachusetts. Memories.
RANT: Apparently dozens of people have been catching Hepatitis A from eating semi-sundried tomatoes! What the fuckin fuck. And they weren’t even eaten out of a tranny hookers ass, just a normal jar.
Rave: Finally got a part-time job!! Yay!! Rant: Was looking for full-time, with benefits. Alas, no one is offering those types of jobs in my area. Rave: But whatever, I'm semi-employed! WOO-HOO!
Rant: Procrastinated all semester and now I have to poop out my CJ senior seminar research paper by 3pm CST. Rave: Have it all outlined and everything is highlighted so its just chugging away and filling it in. Rant/Rave: Its on DUI laws and their effectiveness in reducing DUI arrests. I know know the penalties for just about every state and abroad. Rave: Redbull/Monster is really cheap at the liquor store I work at with the employee discount so I'm fully stocked and didn't spend almost anything on it. Rant: 8-12 page paper. As of now I have 8-12 more pages to go. Rant: Just remembered I have a stats test tomorrow. Hello no sleep tonight!
Rave: Leaving to the airport in 12 hours to go to Israel for 7 months. Rant: Haven't even started packing. I don't really plan on sleeping though so I'll be half dead by the time I'm at the airport, after almost 36 hours of no sleep. B12 and coffee are my friends right now.
RAVE Went to a show and thanks to my teammates was provided with tons of alcohol that I would otherwise have not been able to purchase. Got pretty drunk without feeling sick once for the first time. First time drunk in public. Tons of fun. RAVE Turns out my old substitute teacher/ coach's son who every girl had a crush on in high school was playing with his band. Never thought that I would run into someone from my hometown up here. Bizarre but fantastic in that I just did what all the girls fantasized about doing in high school.
FUCK my college's intranet. The day I can sign up for classes, and what does Campusweb do? Crap out. The mail server's fine. The internet itself is fine. But this piece of shit won't bother loading pages and claim that it's finished. I've been at this 20 minutes, and I've only been able to register for one class.
Rave: Finally found a decent place to stay when I go hunting in a couple weeks. Rave: It will cost me ~$18/day to stay there because my Dad, Uncle, and I are able split the room.
Rave: I've struggled with my patriotism quite a bit lately... Until I started reading all of these fucking Canadian posts (Nettdata excluded). God, I'm proud to be an American. What a bunch of pussies.
Obscure Disney Movie Night Rave: The Rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under, The Great Mouse Detective. Best. Monday. Ever. Tuesday night will feature a Lion King encore. Goddamn, I love reliving my childhood.
Rave:Tonight's the night Tucker Max is coming to speak at our university. I'm raving about this less mainly because I'm interested in seeing what he's going to say. While he may be funny, I hope it's not just sex and poop jokes--we'll see. I'll update you guys on what he says, especially if it has anything to do with the movie. Rant:No protesters. The kids are too smart to protest him, so they're going to some cafe away from the building where the talk will talk place.
Rant: Just saw pictures of the woman who was attacked by the chimp in CT about a year ago. Jesus, it might give me nightmares. That poor woman.
Rant: Some annoying douche kept disturbing my workout. I knew he wanted something from me when he was staring, not unlike the dude who humped Billy Bob Thornton in that scene in Bad Santa. He asked me to spot him in the most condescending way possible, and with every sentence he spoke to me I got more and more annoyed with him (Your name's Ross? Are you cheap like the store? HAHAHAHAHA). Rave: Used the anger he stimulated to help push myself in my workout.
Rave: A good mate was back in town for the first time in a few years, he lives in Germany. Rant: After 4 bottles of red and some single malt last night I feel like total ass right now. Trying hard not to breath on anyone. Rave: Flying to Melbourne tonight for a wedding, I approve of free booze and seings I don't know anyone I can be "that guy"
Rant: Bureaucrats who lack the judgment or ability to deviate from their protocols are awful. Rave: Helpful non-bureaucrats who know how to get around said awful people are great. Rave: So is a fresh brewed cup of freshly ground coffee.
RAVE: We're finally getting around to having a housewarming party this weekend! So far we're planning on a keg, fish, deer and buffalo meat. It should be a pretty good time once we get drunk and fire up rock band. I know how gay this sounds, but rock band enhances any party we have. Everyone loves smashing away on those instruments when they're drunk, and everyone else gets some pretty kick ass background music. Plus, since I drum in real life, I end up impressing the ladies with my mad skillz. Don't believe me? I guess I'll just have to provide you with photographic evidence:
Rave: Just shook Tucker's hand no less than 10 minutes ago. His speech was about what he always has been preaching--road less traveled, yadda yadda. He told some stories that are going to be in his new book as well. It was also fun listening to him rag on our school, he was comparing it to his time at UoC which was pretty funny. Rant:My question was pretty stupid I asked him in the meet&greet, about the message boards and why what happened happened. His answer: "don't worry". I guess I'll take it. Rave: I like this board more than the other board; I just liked going to that board to look at old threads which taught me so much shit. But hooray to everyone here!
Rave: Moving back to Vancouver for sure in January! Rant: Rent here (Kelowna, 5 hours east of Van) is $266/month. I have 2 roommates and we share our own house. Amazing deal. The rant is that the place I found in Van is $700/month. Fuck me. I mean that's not bad at all for the place/location, but it's going to seriously suck paying almost 3 times as much rent as I do now.
