My fiancée called today to inform me that her dog (a female whippet mix) won't stop humping the head of her mother's dog (a female Shih Tzu). I have yet to think of an implication of this act that isn't inherently funny. Does her dog have gender identity issues? Is she lesbian or just bi-curious? What about the Shih Tzu? Is this dog so ugly that her face resembles male (female?) canine genitalia? Or is the whippet dyslexic? I can't stop laughing.
RAVE??: The TV has been on CNN for an hour so, and I've been half listening half fucking around on the internet. Anyway, on Rick's List or whatever it's called, about the Arizona immigration stuff... I THINK I JUST SAW A MIDGET RIOT COP!!! I did a triple take, and I still hardly believe it... but I swear, it was a little bitty person in riot gear!! I'm sure I must have seen it wrong somehow, but I'm still laughing about it. I would love to go to that protest wearing a "You must be this tall to arrest me" shirt.
Rant: Had a kidney stone today. My 5th one since I was 16. Woke up at 9am in horrific pain. Just got home from the hospital. Stone hasn't passed yet. Was there for 4 hours before they got around to giving me anything for the pain. Rave: Morphine is a hell of a drug. Can barely feel my face, let alone anything else. Plus, have a script for Percocet. Will be laying around doped up and recovering for the next few days.
Rave: So after not being hired for one of the research positions last week, I got a call this morning from one of the professors in the department. One of her grants came through and I was recommended by some of the faculty members to be on her team. In addition to my academics, there's an aspect of my work experience that dovetails extremely well with the project. Had a great phone interview with her and I'm meeting with her tomorrow morning to discuss it further. She wants to assemble her team ASAP and get the project moving. The position extends beyond just research, stating I would be involved in every aspect of the project and have the opportunity to interact with various government agencies as we put this together. And, the position runs through the end of next summer (as opposed to a May end date the research/teaching assistant positions have). Awesome opportunity. I hope I don't blow it tomorrow morning.
RANT: Replacing an axle on my car. RAVE: It isn't too hard, since I got to practice when... RANT: I just replaced the other fucking axle last week.
Rant: Trying to watch one show and my roommate and her friends wont shut the fuck up! Rave: Maybe I should go sand my car some more in the garage its nice and loud.
RANT: FUCKSAKES. Third time in 2 years that my mom's car has been broken into. She keeps NOTHING of value in the car - the best they'll get is a fucking umbrella - which was STILL THERE. I wish she'd sell that old Mercedes - they're a thief magnet because they get used to smash cash-in-transit vehicles off the road. Here goes another $400 for re-tumbling the lock. I've told her to just not bother, have the door locks blanked off and go for a keyless entry system - it already has factory-fitted central locking. No keyhole to get fucked then by a screwdriver, right? RANT: Sugarless coffee. Fuck. This is not a good day so far.
Rant- I have been working at my new job for almost three months and I have decided it is completely not the right job for me. Rave- The pay checks are pretty good and I cant ride it out for at least another month or so.
RAVE: Finally flipped our spec construction house. Signed contracts today. We got ratfucked by the other builders in the street and went over the represented market. RANT: We're selling for just above cost. RAVE: I wasn't directly getting profit out of it, but I've been covering all the costs so I'll be getting all my money back. RANT: A large chunk of that will be going to retaining wall repairs in my backyard.
Rant: Meeting the ex this Sunday to give her back the shit she left at mine. As she is the type of person who always attempts to play mind games I know there is no way this is going to end well. Rave: Since we broke up, I've become a much more confident and happier person. I've made more friends in the last 6 months, than in the 4 years I spent with her and I've started running and getting into shape. Life is looking up and I can honestly say I feel nothing for her anymore which is going to make her game playing fun as I know everything she will try.
Rave: First time I have gone out in a few weeks, made out with a girl I have been into since high school. Rant: Home alone now, really drunk, missing my buddy that passed away. First time I have been truly hammered since he passed, can't help but miss that goofy motherfucker.
Rave: My school has an exchange program with a school in Japan and a few kids pulled out of hosting the Japanese students at the last minute so I said I would let one stay with me. Luckily we got a really cool kid, who plays in a band and is really laid back. He has all the girls wrapped around his little finger and he is going with three of them to a theme park tomorrow in the city. It has been lots of fun and I'll kinda miss him when he leaves. Rant: I have forgotten how to speak English properly. I have been shortening all my sentences. For example, tonight's conversation about dinner was basically "Eat hamburger?" while miming eating hamburgers. Rave: I would smash anyone at charades right now after a week of practise!
Rave: KROCK tommorow. For those of you that don't know it's a huge drunk/drug fest in NY. 15 bands playing and its all day. A few bands that'll be there are Limp Bizkit, Avenged Sevenfold, All that remains, Hailstorm, Flyleaf and a couple more that I cant think of right now for some reason. It's my first time going to one and from what I heard it's gonna be awsome. Rant: My youngest brother has a new obsession with those stupid chat websites. He's always on the computer now and it's pissing me off cause its retarded.
Rave: Got paid today and apparently I got something of a slight raise as my paycheck was slightly higher this time and had a note on it about my salary rate going up. I would have thought that I would have been notified if I were getting a raise. Oh well, I'm not complaining. Rant: A couple friends of mine are getting married tomorrow night and the reception should be a good time, but it turns out that The Girlfriend has to close that night and couldn't get out of it, so I have to go stag while all my other friends have dates. Oh well, open bar. Rave: Our friend from Dallas is coming up for the wedding and will be here this evening. It always ends up turning into a shit show when he's in town, so I expect to be stupid drunk tonight and tomorrow night. Rave: Irish Car Bombs!
Rave: Finished processing my first astrophoto just a couple of moments ago. It is not bad for my first effort. I will probably go through again today and clean it up more. I give you M100
RAVE After going to a tech school for aviation maintenance and working in that field I'm finally going back to school for engineering. Not only that, but it looks like I'm going to finish up my pilots license for a huge discount. RANT Going back to school for engineering and working full time. I'm going to be busy.
Rave: Hop today went awesome. Rant: Didn't get the grades I thought I deserved, but oh well. Mega-Rant: Fucking flight at 0645 tomorrow. It's a fucking Saturday assholes...
Rant- Driving cross country with your mother-in-law is even worse than it sounds. -She has to be on her cell, which I pay the bill for, the entire time telling the same stories over and over. -I got into an argument with her after she said racism is dead in America. -She's careless about everything, for instance, forgetting about two bags of our clothes she was supposed to pack in the hotel. She tells me it's ok because she didn't do it on purpose. Only problem, that's her reason for everything as we can't rely on her for anything. I guess I have to follow everything she does.
RAVE: Queen... sized... bed. RAVE: Seven pound chicken cooking at 450 degrees. RAVE: Having a lady friend over. Hopefully a new bed twice the size of my old one will cancel out the fact I haven't cleaned since the last time she was over. RAVE: She's the kinda chick that might clean for me. Her's to hoping.
