Rant: I should not be trusted with this stuff. I left an alpha but not gamma shielded sample of Am241 in my pocket for several hours. Why I put it into my pocket I don't know, but I probably just got a higher dose of radiation than a nuke plant worker does in a week. 30+ microsieverts an hour over 5 hours. I am a dumb ass. But superpowers here I come!
??: I was just doing some shopping on amazon.com and thought while I was spending money I'd see what kind of sex toys I could find. Someone please explain to me why ALL the dildos under 'nonlatex' are black. A very select few had a Caucasian skin tone choice but it was mostly the double ended ones.
Rant: Half of my department was laid off on Monday. All of my friends in the company were laid off. Rave: I still have a job. I still get paid nicely to work from home. We are in "maintenance mode" now too, so mostly easy stuff. Rave: Dinner last night was a block of Havarti, a loaf of warm french bread, and a bottle of 2008 Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Delicious and the resultant hangover was worth it. Rave: White Collar just finished downloading. Thank you, Pop Culture board. Love those USA series. They aren't Emmy winners, but they are entertaining.
Rant: Why the hell can't we ever finish a close game? It was 13-9 with a minute and a half to go and you guys fucking blow it. A FUCKING MINUTE AND A HALF!!! You made one helluva last drive, so why can't the defense use that to their advantage? Oh sure, you stopped them on the 7 yard line for 3 plays straight, but fuck, with 2 seconds to go you just let them trot right into the endzone. Why couldn't you stop them on one of the other fucking 93 yards that they had to play with? They moved the ball on just four plays!! FOUR!!! Pass-15 yds, pass- 21 yds, pass- 18 yds, pass- 7 yds for the td. FUCK!! I was really hoping we would pull out this upset against the #6 team in the nation...at fucking home!! Fucking Michigan State!! can't win em all...plus I wasn't even drunk!!! Rant: Long ass week. Won't have time for anything until Saturday. Rant: Have to go out and tear down the stage from my rave. Gotta wake up again before the sun on the weekend for the 4th day in a row. Rave: Set up the stage for the Lonestar concert today. It was pretty cool, and we got to meet the band and go backstage and such, pretty cool. Oh, got to see up close and personal all the trainer aircraft and possible Helo's I could be flying if I don't get selected to fly jets.
RANT: I just found out that the TV series Defying Gravity has been cancelled. Damn. It was a bit out there, a bit sappy, but overall, I enjoyed it. Maybe it's my fixation and weakness for spaceships and science fiction, but I didn't hate it.
Rant: Got into a fight tonight at work. Rave: I work in a bar, and it wasn't so much a fight, I guess...more like a drunk guy swinging wildly at me a couple times and missing... After the second miss the guy fell, hit his face on a bar stool, cut and blacked his own eye. First fight I've ever won and didn't have to do a thing. Rant: Still sucked though, no one likes that kind of shit happening in their bar. Couldn't have happened to more of an asshole, just sucks that it had to happen at all.
Rant: While watching a football stream I caught the tail end of some ad for Longhorn Steakhouse. It involved a 3-cheese, bacon-covered steak or something like that. Why must I be on the other side of the planet when such a wonderous thing exists?!
Rant UFC Fight results... Spoiler I'm a huge Lyota Machida fan, but there was no way in fucking hell he won tonight. I scored it 49-46 for Shogun Rua, yet all three judges scored it 48-47 for Machida. I don't care if I bet on Machida to win, that was complete bullshit if you asked me. Rave Dana White said both fighters agreed to a rematch, hopefully this happens soon.
RANT: People that don't use the spoiler tag. If you're going to post a rant or rave about a team losing a game, or the results of a certain UFC fight, or race results, or anything else that might ruin someone else's enjoyment of an event, and it's still within a few days of the event, wrap that shit up in spoiler tags.
Rave: Some kind soul put a torrent of IHTSBIH up. I'm 149mb away from seeing what all the fuss (or lack thereof) is about. To find it, obvious google terms will work.
Rant: When fun Halloween house parties get overrun by non-costume wearing "friend-of-a-friend" douchebags. Rant: One of said friend-of-a-friend tries slipping something into a girls drink Rave: Douche gets caught doing it and is instantly pounced on, punched, kneed, and then choked out by the large angry guy who saw him do it (it was a beautiful combo too. Punch to jaw and then to the chest, knee to the midsection and as the douche dropped he swung over his back and locked in a choke). Rave: Slapping the douche awake and then forcing the spiked drink down his throat before throwing both he and his keys down an embankment and into the woods. Justice served.
Rant: working 5 and a half hours with two new members of staff who are disliked by everyone in the pub tonight. I get along ok with the girl, she's a little bit weird but I can put up with it. But the guy is a douche, how someone can work in a pub for over 2 months and not know what he's doing still baffles me. Just watching him work pisses me off, he does the stupidest things. I hope we sell lots of food tonight so I don't have to be on the bar with them.
RANT: Rookie mistake last night. After not drinking for 6 months, that once fine tuned bell curve shaped drinking high changed into a sawtooth last night. Pathetic.
Rant: 3 midterms this week. Rave: At the end of the long dark tunnel is the light that is Madison on Halloween.
Rave: I just had one of the best weekends in a long time. My boyfriend surprised me with tickets to see Jack Ingram in the boondocks. The drive was so worth it. We were literally 2 feet away from the stage at this tiny-ass dance hall. It was so much fun and we got to meet Jack afterwards. I've been a fan for a long time now, and I have the biggest crush on him so it totally made my month! What a great break from life!
Rant: Still sick with my sinus infection. I think it might be in my inner ear now. Can't hear worth a shit. Rave: The firewall at work is down, so I can get on here and play.
Rant: My mother is very sensible with her money. She never buys anything stupid, or over priced. Unless she steps into Williams and Sonoma or other food places (Whole Foods) I can not tell you how many times she has shown up with stupidly expensive food items. Right now, I am cooking a bag of pasta that cost her 12.50. For 17oz of pasta. Topping it will be part of a 10 dollar jar of pasta sauce. This is had better be good.
