Chemistry-related nerd rant: Spoiler Y'know what sucks? Figuring out the SMILES notation for 2-ethoxy-1-(p-(o-2-ethyl-2H-tetrazol-5-ylphenyl)benzyl)-7-benzimidazolecarboxylic acid. Jesus christ.
Rave: Brother is visiting. He's been here since Sunday and is staying until this coming Sunday. Rant: Which means that I have Mom calling me at least twice a day to keep tabs on him because she likes to think that he's still a kid. Fucking call him. Stop going through me.
RAVE: It has been in the mid 70s and absolutely beautiful outside. RANT: Went to help my grandpa yesterday at his farm and tweaked my back something awful. Two guys that couldn't do shit because of crippling back pain. Ones 81, ones 26. FML RANT: Couldn't practice with my crossbow. Rave: Deer season is here.
Rant: Have you ever known someone who is so subtly evil that when you try to explain their evilness to someone else it makes YOU look evil? Nerdy Game Rant: I'm giving up fighting games..again. I love Street Fighter, and I have for years, but its time to admit I'm just not that good at it. I dont love it enough to put in the hours of practice needed to get to the higher ranks of online play, so I'm leaving it alone. Until the SSIVAE 2012 update.
RAVE: Just passed my LEED AP BD+C exam!! I haven't studied that much since college. rant: I don't get a raise, just personal satisfaction.
Rant: So I was having my hair cut by a buddy today, and when I went to clean up a portion on my temple, I forgot the guard wasn't still on the clippers, and shaved a patch out of the side of my head. Rave: I'm now rocking a swanky new mohawk (not sure if swanky is the right word to use to describe a mohawk, but eh.). I feel way more bad ass than I have any right to be.
Rant: Both my grandma and grandpa have cancer. If grandma dies first grandpa will be too senile to take care of himself. Which is looking like a possibility.
Rave: Slowly building up evidence for a Tribunal case against work. How I look forward to bringing this up.
ONE BIG, LONG RANT: This week. This week was terrible. The Ex threw up while seated in my car, and it managed to splatter onto the door panel. He did not tell me this, so I didn't notice until I was cleaning my car out nearly two days later. I was cleaning my car out because it was vandalized Saturday. Passenger quarter glass? In a million prickly slivers. Sideview mirror? What's not missing is just hanging limply from the frame. Nothing was stolen. The car was unlocked. Someone did this just to be a dick. Multiple strangers asked me if I have a black eye. I don't. They're the bags under my eyes from what I can only assume is exhaustion. The Ex wrecked his truck last night. I still don't know how. By the time I found out what happened and made it to his house at midnight, he was a big ball of rage. He didn't take his house key from the tow truck driver, and the realtor had locked the patio door (for once), so he had to break into the house only to find out that the dog had pooped all over the kitchen. For the second time this week. Sigh. ONE TINY, LITTLE RAVE: One of my friends manages the Atlanta airport Enterprise and thus works with several auto body shops. I may be able to get my car fixed for less than a quarter of the original quote. Silver lining.
Rant: I get a massive headache reading a particular poster's posts (hint: Making it Work thread). I don't know why I keep doing it. It's like I'm hoping the latest entry is the one that finally breaks the streak. Spoiler: it never is. Way to live up to your name, champ.
RANT: Philalawyer takes on old people. I've been saying this since I was 17 or so. Fuck you Baby Boomers and your fucking Social Security, Medicare, don't touch my benefits selfishness.
Rant: My grandmother is basically on her deathbed. She lives across the country and it's painful to know I won't be able to see her before she passes.
Rave: Pre-ordered the new iPhone this morning! I'm switching from android because I am somewhat disappointed with the new android phones. It would be cool to have 4g, but from what I see on the battery life, its not worth it just yet. I will probably get a lot of shit because it looks identical to the previous model but its my first iPhone so I'm excited.
Rant: It's been blistering hot here all week. I decided today to put away the fall clothes and wear a cute little tennis skirt to work. Winds were gusting up to 70km/hr ALL DAY. I leave you to imagine why this is a rant.
