Rant: Why the fuck did I wake up with an awful nosebleed this has been going on for 10 minutesOMGI THINK IT'S DONE Rave: NOSEBLEED OVER
RANT: I've been waiting to see The Road for about a year now, and when it finally comes out it is not playing anywhere near me. The theater in my town instead has 4 kids movies and even Madison doesn't have it. It's not like this is a low budget indie film, so I don't understand why they are playing it basically nowhere in Wisconsin. RAVE:At least I had MW2 and Assassins Creed 2 to get me through the weekend, and also ordered Dragon's Age for about $30. I don't think the wife enjoyed it as much as I did though.
Rave: My wife and I are going to meet a rescue dog tonight or tomorrow night to see if we can adopt her. She's a 40lb black lab, 6 mos - year old, and looks really sweet. I miss having a dog. The only down side is the wife and I have been disagreeing non stop over the name...
Rant: First day back to work, and I have a lot to do and I know it's going to be a long day. Too bad my insomnia kicked in last night, and I slept for 30 minutes. Rant: The gal I've been talking to is anything but straightforward. It's making it extremely hard to decide if she's a keeper or not. Rave: I had some good chili last night.
Rave: Saskatchewan embarassed themselves in the Grey Cup on the last play. Good laugh. Rave: Habs get to curbstomp the Leafs on Tuesday Rant: Probably heading to unemployment later today. Called in for an 'important meeting' only addressed to me (we're a company of only six people)
Rave: I just finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and I have no fucking idea how the movie could possibly live up to the book, because the book is both totally awesome and totally bleak. But I'm going to find out tonight.
RANT: Well thanks to all these PM's apparently I am a retard for paying that much for an HDMI cable. The guy at the store when I got the package with the surround sound was like yeah, here you need these to make everything tie itself in these are Monster cables wooooo!!~~!!!! I feel like a moron. Oh well, I got the cable a year ago, so the money probably would have went to wasteful things like strippers and beer. Oh god I am an idiot.
Rant: After three weekends of Elmer Fudd like hunting I didn't manage to see one god damned deer in Indiana. Rave: I got a climbing stand for my birthday and will be headed out today for gun season in Ohio!
Rave: Excellent Thanksgiving weekend. No disasters and everyone is still alive and all the Christmas decorating is done. Rant/Rave? Busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking competition. Test tomorrow, paper due next Monday and final exam 12/15, plus physical therapy twice a week, and then there's that whole parenting and taking care of mom thing. And next semester is going to be even crazier.
RAAAAAAVE: I was up all night editing my spec-script. I just finished. Finally. Rave: I was listening to Kodachrome (Paul Simon) and Supertramp's Breakfast in America album on repeat. I woke up and Kodachrome was playing in my head. Rave: Life is good.
MEGA RAVE: After about 5 months of delays, I finally got my '89 Trans Am running the day before Thanksgiving and have been driving it since! The custom chip from TBI chips.com came in, I put it in and haven't looked back. No more annoying top speed limiter! Say hello to the ability to break the rear tires loose at any speed below 30 mph! As a result, the car is still a little threadbare in the interior department ( I was restoring/customizing the interior as well as doing the cylinder head/intake/header and full length exhaust installation as well as fixing a few small oil leaks); I'll just install the headliner, door and interior panels and rear carpet later. At least I put in the 4th generation F-Body seats, console and seat belts. MEGA RANT: Just as I was on my way to have lunch and some alone time with this hot cougar I have been seeing (added plus: She drives a Camaro! And I can attest that all women who drive Camaros put out.), the bane of technichians everywhere reared it's ugly head: the intermittant No-spark condition. It will periodically die, then after a couple of minutes of fruitless checking (on the side of the road in cold [for Texas] rain, it will start back up like nothing happened. I'll get on my way, and a couple of minutes later it will do it again. If it would just stay dead, it would be a lot easier to find the problem(s). So no sucky-face and boob action for the bandit today. And I'm gonna have to spend my evening checking and double checking all of the ignition system components.
Rave Started training for my first half marathon on Saturday. Already feel better after running 3 days in a row, and can't wait to see some weight fall off. Any tips/advice for training are much appreciated. Rant Good God am I sore.
Dear Mont Tremblant: Fuck off. Do you really want to charge me 800 bucks for three nights and two days of skiing, after a 25% discount? Really? I would like to close this letter by reiterating my opening point: fuck off. Sincerely, Ghettoastronaut, Bachelor of Laws
Rave: Just heard the best Tiger Woods joke that completely made my day. "So the black guy in Tiger bought an Escalade and the Asian in him wrecked it? Perfect."
Rant: A couple of weeks ago I posted on here about my brother in law falling off my tractor and fucking up his leg doing something I told him not to in the first place. It was hilarious. It's not so funny anymore. That son of a bitch is trying to collect against my homeowners insurance for his $1000 out of pocket expense. The SOB is a multi millionaire and he's worried about $1K? My premiums are going to go through the roof now. All because he's a dumb ass who can't listen to what I told him or stay on a mother fucking huge ass tractor.
Rant: Still freaking hungover from drinking all day yesterday and watching football. It's really hard to concentrate on work when you can barely see straight. Rant/Rave?: Just puked in the bathroom at work. Possibly a rave, because my hangover feels a lot better after getting all that out of my system. Rant: I really want to watch the New Orleans/New England game tonight, but I have a huge group presentation tomorrow, and I still haven't even started my part of it. It's gonna be a long night in the library...
Rave: Damn it feels good to Rant and Rave on the Internet again! Rant: The Saskatchewan Roughriders. Need I say more? Double Rant: I had to to recite every glaring, gory detail of their collapse every half-hour this morning on the radio. I now know what Cub's fans deal with on a yearly basis. I didn't think it would affect me this bad, but my stomach was in knots all day. Rave: Andre Agassi's book. I haven't been able to put it down. I'm hardly what you would call a tennis fan, nor did I ever cheer for Agassi when he played, but it's still a great read. Another shining example of how fame, money, and accomplishments never seem to satisfy.
