You know what sounds like an awesome idea when you're drunk, but turns out to be not-such-an-awesome-idea when put into practice? You would think that with all the extra nutrients and vitamins and stuff in it, that baby formula would be the PERFECT substitute when making white russians and you find you are all out of milk/cream. Yuck. The mommy needs to get home quick so that the beers can be drunk by me. Hi errybody!
Today was a total crapshoot. However, I did learn that there exists a 30 day grace period after your license expires. So yeah. I've got 1 month to find my birth certificate. Balcony beers to the rescue!
Spent an awesome week with my grandfather who has been struggling since my grandmother passed in November. I feel bad for him as he knows how to do almost nothing. My grandmother did everything for him; cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, picking up after him, etc, even though he's perfectly able-bodied. It's basically as if they were living examples of 1950s gender roles with zero outside influence. The guy almost burned down his apartment because he hadn't changed (or had even heard of) his lint screen in his dryer in 2 MONTHS, as my mother was the last to change it for him when she was out there. I showed him how to cook easy meals, how to fold guys clothing properly, how to not burn his apartment down, and that black people aren't scary. (Just kidding on the last one). At least he had a good sense of humor about it and we had a great conversation about how he never realized how much his wife actually did for him. Aside from all that, I got to hear great stories about fighting in the Ardennes, thoughts on life, beliefs, and marriage as they were married for 65 years and I don't think Ill ever meet a happier couple than they were. Back to the grind on Monday, but a nice relaxing weekend awaits beforehand. Cheers idiots.
It's been done! Sorta. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000142.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000142.php</a>
Today at work, Mrs. Doctor decided to buy everyone's lunch because it was a nice day out. Had some completely awesome double crust white with broccoli pizza. While completely delicious and appreciated, it made me realize something. My home town is so predominantly Catholic, it's just assumed that everyone is partaking in Lent. Does anyone else have this problem where you get dirty looks from your co-workers for eating meat on Friday? I'm usually the one taking Lunch orders and picking stuff up, and there is always one or two people who complain about it being Friday, but they go along with the no meat rule because they don't want to get the dirty looks.
Any other American's catch the Groupon Deal for 5 Omaha Steaks, 6 Steak Bugers and 4 Franks all for 45 dollars? I'm so fucking pumped. That shit is usually expensive, but with this deal, it is great. I can't wait to get and grill these, get some real smokey bourbon and sit outside. I'm going to enjoy this Pre-Apocalyptic Spring here in Chicago.
Just another average day at the office when you're a cowboy astronaut millionaire... And before you ask; yes, I fully intend on wearing that directly to the bar after work. *edit - Spoilered for size.
If there is any crime worse than working late on a Friday, I don't know it. GODDAMMIT I HATE WORKING LATE ON FRIDAY.
There was a shootout between bank robbers and police in the parking lot of my apartment complex just now. Kind of trippy to here the pop pop sound of gunfire from my apartment and see people shooting at each other from the window. Now just waiting for my wife to get home on the bus so I can stop feeling pointlessly anxious.
My department went through a reorganization last month, and they're only getting around to moving our desks today. The relay had us out of our desks at three...and right over to happy hour - all paid for by the bosslady. Also, bringing the boat home this weekend. It, the GoPro, and I are going to have some hawt weekends this summer.
The wind blew the playground sand around at the park and now my throat feels like ten miles of death valley scorched firetrail. Got some good hydro for this weekend YEEEEEESS SAHHHHH
Fucking Christ, some douche in the building has decided that slamming his door as often as possible at night is fun. As long as I drink I can ignore it. Also, is spring not awesome? Today I fed the ducks that returned to the lake. I hope they make little duck babies I can watch. (And the crocuses are in bloom)
So I saw my first dead body outside of a hospital or coffin situation today. I guess some guy decided to croak in his car in the middle of a Meijers parking lot. The police were treating it like a crime scene since someone had just found him sitting there. Kind of sad to think someone's dad won't be coming home from a quick trip to the groceries. Ive been dead ass sick the past three or four days. So Im taking it easy for the next day or so. Fucking sucks and it's rainy as fuck. On more upbeat news, Jennifer Lawrence is very hot. Funny because I have a friend who looks just like Renee Zellwegger and Jennifer Lawrence. It's all in the cheekbones and lemon squint eyes.
I've spent my afternoon drinking Guinness and watching college hockey. Fuck I love college hockey tournament time. Now if DU would play better and try not to lose, I would be in a far better mood. Unfortunately I have moot court on Tuesday and have to spend my weekend preparing for that instead of watching hockey.
