Rave: Just switched channels because of another Presidentail address and landed on the start of "THE GOONIES". I haven't seen this is years.
I too am watching The Goonies. Rave: I just sent a message to a friend's wife (who is Brazilian) that's never seen Goonies, in hopes that she will watch it.
Sweet Jesus, my favorite thread from TMMB (or RMMB, whichever) has resurfaced. I knew my hatred and anger had a place somewhere! Rant: Dear Ex-Wife-slash-Baby-Momma, Here's a newsflash; I'm smarter than you. Your education includes cheerleading and tumbling, mine includes fucking with people's minds and getting my way. Your petty shit might work on the kids...until they come to Florida. You will NOT replace their father with your scrawny redneck boyfriend, you will NOT tell my step-daughter that college is optional, and you will NOT assume that because you are their birth mother that you have rights that go against divorce papers. Trust me, I will find a lawyer that will make you cry the day you thought that church choir takes precedence over the kids spending time with their father. Warmly, Coquette
RAVE: Jury Duty yesterday. Why is it a rave? I got to leave my house an hour later than normal and drive half the distance I would to work. Then I was there for less than an hour when it turns out the case we were going to have to be there for got pushed back because the defendant ditched out and didn't show. So I get a paid day out of work plus about $50 and aside from an hour had a day off.
RAVE: Met the new dog last night. OH MY GOD - she is sooooo cute. So cute, I'm talking like an idiot. She's a big, goofy, rambunctious Black Lab with a huge heart. I told my wife "Why even fucking bother bringing me to the 'meet and greet?' You know once I see the dog, it'll be over for me." We get to the girl's house, a young volunteer, fostering this wonderful animal because Animal Control was going to put her down in 48 hours if no one adopted her. She clearly loves the dog. I get on the floor with the dog, and we were playing, and at one point, she laid on her back and the volunteer said 'Wow, she never does that for me!' To say we hit it off (the dog and I) is an understatement. I looked at the wife and said 'well, I've seen all I need to see.' "Ok, we'll take her." Fucking awesome. She goes to get fixed Friday, and then we pick her up next Monday or Tuesday. As to names, so far we have __________ Dorina (insert my last name), The Reigning Queen of Labradoria, with "__________" being what we'll call her every day. So far, we've got 'Midnight,' 'Holly,' 'Lola,' among others. I'm freaking excited.
Rave: New house. Woo-hoo! Rant: Assembling shit. It will never end. I'm going to be putting stuff together for the next month. Yesterday by 9:00am I had already assembled: 2 swivel barstools, a storage chest, a coat rack (not hard, but still needed assembly) and an entertainment console. And the furniture hasn't even arrived yet... Rave: Am accepting applications for a husband. Must be able to lift 40lbs, have basic knowledge of AV components and be willing to work long hours. Ticketed journeyman (any trade) preferred. PM me if interested. Pay is low but fringe benefits are included.
Rave: I finally finished the DOH State reporting scripts for H1N1. Each state has different data requirments (and in some states, different counties require different things). This has been absolute fucking hell and feels awesome to have it done. Rave: I have my holiday party for work tomorrow. Free booze (because this was my part of the planning) and a lot of good food (Green Mill). I plan on getting my boss and co-workers bombed so I have dirt on them. Rant: The dirt will only last for so long since come March I wont have a job. To go off of previous rant: Minnesota drivers (and probably common in the midwest) do NOT know how to merge/change lanes. You are supposed to match the speed, if not move a little faster, than the lane you are moving into. DO NOT, brake when you're changing lanes unless it's absolutely necessary. I can't count how many people will be going 50 in the center lane, brake, then move into the left lane causing the 60 mph traffic to have to slam on their brakes.
RANT: Was up until 5am finishing off some security framework code. Checked it in this morning, and some fuckwad on the team has refactored the shit out of the base. Might not mean much to most of you, but to me it means another couple of hours fucking around getting shit working again. RANT: The Old Man went under the knife this morning... about an hour ago. In 5+ hours we should hear word on how well the surgery went. He'll be sporting a new heart valve and a shiny triple bypass. He'll be discharged from the hospital on Monday, knock on wood. He's also getting an in-home nurse for 2 weeks. Here's to hoping she's hot. RAVE: Flying back on Friday to be with the family for a month.
Rave: I met a girl in a club a few weeks ago in my old university city. She was very cool, we hit it off, exchanged numbers and I said I'd be in touch when I go back again (this weekend). Rant(?): She added me on Facebook and it turns out she's 17. I'm 22. I'm in two minds as to whether this is a problem, and whether to bother calling her. Bearing in mind that we wouldn't be sleeping together this weekend, would it still be wrong to hang out/invite her to a party? Any opinions?
RANT: Got woken up this morning at 5:20 in the AM by my dog, who wanted to get up and play unless he could come and sleep on my bed with me. After about half an hour I got him back to sleep on his bed, but at 6:30 I was still awake so I figured I may as well get up. When you normally get up at 11ish, this is bloody early. RAVE: I guess it means I have an extra 3 or so hours of gaming before I start my daily routine, right?
Rant: Sick of not having a job. I finished my Bachelor of Arts back in June, and every time I apply, I get rejected. But I guess I really should stop applying for jobs in the Canadian government.. but with a degree in Politics, there's not much else for options! Rave: Got myself a new 50 millimeter camera lens for my Canon a few days ago, not's not bad so far
Rant I'm leaving for Iraq on Saturday morning for 6-8 months. I really don't mind going, but I really don't want to miss Christmas (2nd in three years because of a deployment), my first anniversary, my birthday, my wife's birthday and so on. We are trying to buy the house we are currently renting as a short sale and it is not going well, so my wife may have to move by herself. This shit sucks..... Rave At least it's not Afghanistan.
Rant: Have to give a 20 minute presentation to my class tomorrow. There is literally nothing I am worse at in the world than public speaking, or giving any sort of presentation. I know it's not a big deal, and nobody gives a shit about what I'm saying and just want me to hurry up and finish, but it doesn't matter. As soon as I get up there, I get too nervous, and either start talking to fast so nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about, or stumble through half the words I'm trying to say, and just look like a complete retard. I've done so many of these, and I've never gotten any better at it. Fuck. Rave: Once I fumble my way through this presentation, I'm basically done with college. That presentation is by far the hardest thing I have left this semester, and next semester I only have two easy classes left, then I'm done with fucking school forever. Rant:I feel the real world and a real job sneaking up, and I have a feeling it's gonna suck worse than these stupid presentations.
RAVE: Biggest party of the year this weekend, my XC team is nerdy as fuck and we are all writing enormous amounts of email, hyping the shit out of it...it's going to be amazing RANT: Can't focus on this paper, at all.
Rant/Rave: I'm the narrator at a retirement ceremony for one of the former CO's of a squadron here on base. Should be a good experience in public speaking. Rave: Sister gets here tomorrow night...partying will be had all weekend. RANT AS FUCK: Got bumped back in my flight school start date AGAIN!! Fucking a, I should have started in the beginning of November, then it got bumped to this Dec 4th, then it was January 15th for about 3 weeks, now it's some time in February. I fucking hate this place, but I guess there are much worse places to be stationed than Pensacola so I'll stop complaining. Rave: I may have finally said fuck it about getting back with my ex. It's just not worth it anymore.
Rave? As my friend and I are leaving the mall tonight (gotta take the small child to see Santa), I look down and there's a very recently purchased Blackberry laying on the ground and I'm the only car within 4 spaces both ways. The bad part?... it was raining cats, dogs, iguanas, cows and ferrets tonight. My friend says if it works, keep it. It was working fine at first and then starting being stupid and the keys are all jacked now. Anyone know how to dry that fucker out? There is a slight chance, if I can get it working enough to identify the owner, that I'll return it. Definite Rave: My friend's three year old is absolutely fucking adorable. Her little sister will be here on the 18th and I'm stoked that I have another one to spoil. Rant: Driving home in the torrential downpour that was central NC tonight was no picnic. An hour and fifteen minute drive took almost two and a half hours. Rave: Made it home safe.
