RANT: Going to see a sleep physician today who's most likely going to tell me I need to go on a CPAP machine. POSSIBLE RAVE: It may end up being a good thing, even I keep thinking I'm going to have channel John Hurt in Alien, minus the 'birth' scene. RAVE: Had a first date last night with a girl that shares a lot of the same interests as me. We got along great, and had fun. RANT: Mr Downstairs wasn't the slightest bit interested in her.
Reason Number 1374759 Why I Am Going To Burn In Hellfire I went to Amsterdam recently. I was loading some pictures onto Facebook, and one of them was of the Anne Frank House. I was thiiiiiiiiis close to tagging the top story windows with "Anne Frank." I'm such a pussy.
RANT: Dog has chewed up yet another toy. I feel awful taking them away from him, but he just destroys everything. Anyone know of any good dog toys for a major chewer?
Rave: After my IPhone fucking up 1.5 weeks after getting the bastard thing I finally got my new one after 2 weeks of Telco assrapage. Rave: It's the 16g rather than the 8g I started with. Rave: They really are a sweet gadget.
RAVE: The salesman called me today, and told me he was able to push an order through. While I'm still pissed at BBY corporate, I am SO stoked to be finally getting a decent TV. RANT: I don't get it until next week. This MNF game would look a LOT better in HiDef...
RAVE: 3 days ago I was in an awesome financial situation. I bought $300 worth of Christmas presents, $100 for a car battery, paid all my bills and had enough to pay extra on my student loans and still had a few hundred left over to fuck around with/save. RANT: The problem with my car wasn't the battery. My starter was fucked and the car eventually died in the hotel parking lot that my parents were staying at. RAVE: My mechanic brother was in town and helped me fix it (he fixed it and got pissed at me for not knowing anything and annoying him) RANT: Starter cost $200 and the cheap socket set I had broke, so I had to go spend another $100 for a good set of tools. Goodbye extra money, hello $30 till Friday.
Who wants to read my spec-script? It's a tv-pilot so it's 44pages double-spaced, can be read in about 10 minutes. PM/Rep me if you want to. Bonuses include: Calling me an unfunny, untalented hack if you don't like it! Supplies are limited, so act now! (For the love of God, please gimme your emails if you want to read it)
Rant: Water damage in my new condo. Goes from somewhere in one of the upstairs bathrooms down to the kitchen directly below. Something eerily similar happened at my mom's old house when I was in high school. It took an entire summer to tear the bathroom/walls/kitchen apart, fix it, and put everything back together. It also took about $9,000. I don't have that kind of money (well I do, but I have other plans for that) nor the patience (.....this one is entirely true, I'm about as patient as an urgent shit after Chipotle with hot salsa and both kinds of beans). Plumber is coming tomorrow morning, supposedly at 10:00 so I won't have to miss any more work after being sick for the past few months. I leave for work at 12:30 and get there at 1:00, work until 9:30. This means he'll get here at about 12:25. I already know it's coming. Rave to balance shit out: My birthday is coming up. I still hold fast to the belief that it should be a national holiday and celebrated as such. I want statues erected of me. Streets named in my honor. I don't want my street to be the most violent area in town though.
The next person who says "fuck my life" or "fuck our lives" is going to find themselves with a good hard punch to the solar plexus. You have been warned.
Rave Just finished setting up the presentation that I have to do tomorrow for the project I've been slaving over this whole Thanksgiving break. Still have to actually give the damn thing, but at least I can justify relaxing for the rest of the night. Rant Still need to do a full report on said project by next Tuesday, and I have a major meet this weekend that's going to suck up four days of my time before then. Rave 2.0 The upcoming meet is the one we've been training for for the last three months, and dry season is (finally!) over once we finish. Hopefully I'll be able to join in next weekend's drunk thread. But more likely, I'll be in no shape to operate a computer, as taking a month off from drinking does significantly decrease your tolerance. As long as I can keep my guy downstairs functioning, I (and my girl) should be happy.
Rant: Road the bike to school today in the pouring rain. Then after school I road the bike to work, also in the pouring rain. I've been essentially soaked, all day long. I leave work in an hour and a half. If it is raining I'm going to freak out. Just...absolutely freak out. Never mind the huge paper I have due, or the three other mini papers I have due, or my complete lack of money, I'll be stopping at the bar just down the street from here to "wait out" the rain. Sorry God, but you force me to it you asshole.
RAVE (for everyone else): No more posting from me for a while. I've gotten tired of people bitching. I'm done.
RAVE As a Cleveland Browns fan, watching Belicheck lose is as close as I'll get to a victory for the remainder of the season. Rant No more Durbanite (apparently). I am now that much closer to being the least cool person on this board.
Rave: Bobby Bowden retiring in a few hours Rant/Rave? While I am positive Jimbo Fisher can lead us back to national prominence he will have to do it quick or he will be burned at the stake by the crazies
Rant: SportsCenter is now unwatchable in the morning. No, not because of their coverage or broadcast journalism. It's because of those fucking freetriplescore.com commercials. I hate them. I know if I watch ESPN in the morning, I will hear these annoying commercials, with horrible actors, at least 4 times during a 20 minute stint. No thanks. I have now switched to the local morning news. (WHY THE FUCK DO THEY CONTINUOUSLY LAUGH? THEY LOOK LIKE BUMBLING IDIOTS.) Rant: I'm sick of people driving the speed limit, or under, in the left lane in the morning. That is the passing lane, hence the name. Do not drive 50 in a 55 zone, going the same speed as the cars in the two lanes to the right as you, and then look bewilidered when you get the finger as I drive by. Every morning this makes me want to punch a baby. Rave: Minneapolis skyline looked absolutely amazing this morning. Just a hint of sunrise reflecting off it made it a light golden color. The city looked like it was CG'd into that spot it looked so good.
Rant: Insomnia. Woke up at 2 a.m. and had no hope of falling asleep again. Rave: Finished a paper in 2 hours. Silence is good. Hopefully a nap will be in the works so I stay awake in class tonight.
Rave: Started going back to the gym. Thought I'd be too tired to wake up at 5:20 and go this AM, but I did it and feel great because of it. I am using pictures like this as motivation. I do not look like that, dress like that, nor do I shop at Walmart, but, in the off chance that someday I could potentially go that route, I am taking preventive measures. I might even print off a picture or two and tape it to the wall next to my bed to make sure I get my ass up. Rave2: Getting a new heater installed next week! Bye-bye 50 year old furnace and bye-bye oil heat! Rant: Have to go and pick it up in Delaware on Friday. But, I got a great price as a favor from a plumber friend, so I shouldn't complain.
I checked out of a hotel this morning, and realized I left my dry cleaning hanging in it. I called the hotel a few hours ago to inform them that I left it, and asked if I could pick it up later. They still haven't found it. If this is still a problem in an hour and a half when I return, I will do something huge that is against my moral character. I will register for Twitter, and post negative comments about it. The sad thing is, this isn't a fucking motel six, this is a $300 a night real hotel. Fuck whoever stole my pants.
