Rave: I finally figured out who supertramp's avatar is after several unanswered attempts. Her name online, at least, is Shay Maria. Here is the sorda nsfw link. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.orgasmatrix.com/blog/noticias/shay-maria-erotico/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.orgasmatrix.com/blog/noticia ... a-erotico/</a> Rant: Unfortunately, it appears she does not shoot nudes.
Oct. 21st is always my most jaded day of the year. Rave Today is my daughter's 2nd birthday as well as my 4th wedding anniversary. Seriously. Also: Rant Today also marks the 9th year anniversary of my accident where a drunk driver killed my date and his best friend. Like I said, a jaded day to say the least.
Rave: No foreskin issues! Rave: Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's the little things, really. Uh, those two raves are not related.
Rant: Last night was the last time I'll ever be able to (legally) step foot in the house I grew up in. Rave: After 18 grueling months, my mom finally sold the house. It was weird seeing it so empty, hearing echoes in every room, but I'm really glad that it's over because it was a huge burden for her. It's nice that she's not alone in 4,000 sq. ft. on an acre lot and having to maintain all of that. Rave: I can finally be the one who comes through for her. The house is sold, but she can't close on her new condo until next week. So instead of her renting a room at the Residence Inn and paying out the ass, she's living with my girlfriend and I for a few days. I've got the extra bedroom and bathroom, so she's got her own space and she can bring her cat. The dog is on vacation at her friend's place because I can't have dogs in mine. Rant: I've got my mother living with me for six days. No more walking around naked and apparently there's a standing "No sex while you're mother is here" rule. FUCK THAT. I'm going home tonight and tightening all of the bolts on the bed so there's absolutely no squeaking and no excuse for unnecessary abstinence. If the girlfriend gets loud, she can bite a pillow or something. Rave: To earn her keep, mom is cooking. Not that my girlfriend isn't a good cook, but my mom is an amazing cook. Looking forward to some great meals.
Rave Halladay vs. Lincecum Rd. 2. Round 1 disappointed, so this one better be a dual no hitter through 9 innings or I'm going to be pissed.
Rave: Cousin bought an old 50cc dirt bike, that's cheap, runs great, goes fast (if you call 30-40 mph fast) and is low enough to the ground that we can all be idiots and crash the fuck out of it. Rave: What better thing to do on a big-ass piece of property than to build a fucking track? After much hard work, we have a few dirt burms, some paths through the woods, and more than enough ways to injure ourselves. Rant: Still can't fucking find one for me so we can race. I've been checking craigslist for a week or so and I'm growing impatient; anyone know of any for-sale places or forums I should be checking out?
RAVE: Beach party in Alexandria tomorrow. Barbecue, swimming, and a cute girl who is flirtatious with me. RANT: She's flirtatious with everybody.
RANT: I am a fucking idiot. I'm studying abroad in Brazil this January and have neglected to keep track of what I need to do for it. Tuesday night I realized there's a mandatory meeting tomorrow afternoon (with homework due then as well) and I have to have my application for the Brazil visa done on November 2nd. I haven't even filled out a passport application yet. Surprise Kato! You're fucked and it's nobody's fault but yours! RAVE: Getting the passport on Monday. There's an office in Minneapolis that can issue passports on-the-spot under special circumstances. According to them, I'm special* enough to get one. Everything will work out in the end... I think (desperately hope). RANT: I am almost broke and don't have the time to work in my shop and get stuff out the door. RAVE: Heard an executive of a marketing agency speak in a class today on utilizing social media and something clicked in my head. I've been brainstorming on how to effectively utilize new marketing channels for my business/blog and think I've got something figured out that'll combine everything and still appeal to old people that are very resistant to change. Time to make some waves! *A goddamned idiot that needs to be more organized. Changes need to be made.
Rave: A little late with this, but last Saturday, I hit my first (and likely last) ever hole-in-one. 7 Iron on a 139 yard par 3, hit a low fade into the wind, bit about three yards from the hole and rolled right in. The rest of the round sucked, but that's going down as my greatest ever sports achievement. Rave: Celebrated that and my holiday bonus by purchasing an ipad and a new computer monitor. I'm taking recommendations for apps that people like, if anyone's got any.
Rave: My company finally bought actual photo studio equipment. I have been getting by using a light that was likely used at the Hitler-Braun wedding, and one of these for spot illumination: Spoiler http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UWGyG8A4L._SL500_AA300_.jpg Now we can finally get even higher quality images.
RAVE: Looks like Barnes and Noble will be releasing details about a new Nook ereader next week. I've been waiting for this. I don't have a use for a full on tablet like ipad or the coming galaxy tab. I just want a good ereader and really think Barnes and Nobles current one is almost there. I don't want a kindle as it doesn't support epub and think the sony and other brands are too clunky. I like the current Nook but hoped they'd do full screen touch and color and rumors are saying they will. I also knew that they released the original this time last year so a new model was most likely going to be released before the holidays. The reason for all this is that I "obtained" 10,000 ebook files recently. It's about 3GB worth of files and most epub books are only around 100-400k. Anything and everything I ever wanted to read. Most of which I wouldn't ever fork out $10 for. I'll still buy physical books when it's something I want on my shelf and don't think it'll replace my love of physical books, but I truly have pretty much every book I've read and want to read digitally in epub format. I also want to get one for my mom who loves to read but doesn't like going to the book stores to actually buy the books. She's strange but I love her anyways. I could just load her e-reader up with a couple thousand books and she'll never need to buy a book ever again.
Rave: I just finished the last day of my first placement for student teaching. Everything went amazingly smoothly. I worked my ass off and it showed. The kids (theoretically) actually learned something, and the main unit I was teaching was Beowulf, which I personally enjoy. It was a 12th grade classroom, and for extra credit on one of their tests I had them draw me a picture relating to Beowulf. Apparently, in Beowulf versus Grendel, I am the victor. Spoiler Rave: Only 8 weeks to go until I graduate. Rant: Then I have to be an adult. Rave: Doing something I thoroughly enjoy!
Addendum to Rant: This chick is pissed at something her sister said to her, and so the obvious and rational thing to do is take it out on me. Rave: Angry sex possibility.
Rave: No more exams! Rave: Aced them! Rave: Didn't go to class once, studied on my own, worked 28 hours a week AND wrote/edited/worked on scripts ~10-20hours a week for my other work. Rant: Didn't get a response for my internship. =( Rave: Calling them tomorrow, no more email bullshit.
RAVE: I survived mid-terms. RAVE: WE GOT A NEW PUPPY! We now own a Mastiff/Lab mix named Tonka. Pics soon!
Rant: I'm a stupid, retarded fool for talking to someone I shouldn't talk to. Someone who stirs shit in me that should be left alone because I don't know that either of us are sincere and even if we are, given the situation, nothing real can come of it anyway. Damn I'm stupid. Rave: Do you ever connect with someone on every possible level? I mean everything? You like the same books, movies, music, fucking everything? You disagree on just enough points to keep it interesting but not enough to cause an actual fight? This is the only person I can have conversations with for-fucking-ever who gets my pop culture references that I pepper into conversation too damn much. The only person who completely gets me. Rant: See what I do to myself? I'm a stupid girl. Rave: Tomorrow's Friday. Rant: I have to work tomorrow morning at 4:15 and for some stupid reason I've been drinking tonight. (Which is probably directly related to the above rant/rave.)
RAVE: My stats professor allowed me to sit in on one of his graduate classes this evening so that I can get a feel for the MSAS program at my school. Plus, I got to shoot sultry, subtle glances at the back of his cute grad student's head for an hour. RANT: Anyone who's ever gone to college has had "that kid" in their class. The one that comments out of turn, corrects the professor like they're old pals and it's no big deal, laughs at his or her own jokes even when no one else does (especially when no one else does), and is just generally unlikeable. Sadly, the majority of the students in this class were "that kid," and most weren't even close to being "kids" anymore. RAVE: At least I know I'll be the cool kid in grad school.
