    Beyond a bad idea if you aren't married. If you are living together, maybe a little easier to swallow, but if she does something like you mentioned in your rant, you having control over her finances is going to lead to a lot of arguments down the road.

    Rant: How does google adsense know I am hungry? And shows me pizza ads...I'm hungry.

    Rave: At least its not cougar dating website ads anymore. Not that I minded...but it was only advertising dating services.

    Rant: the absolute worst part about using a language program is hearing your own voice played back to you when comparing pronunciations. I just...no.

    Behold the most First World Rant ever:

    Costco had baby lobster tails on sale yesterday. Eight for $26. I froze six, and left two in the fridge for dinner last night. I forgot to make them (I had a roast, too), and now I HAVE to cook them. And I have zero appetite whatsoever. I'm going to have to force myself to eat two baby lobster tails.

    This is a rant because lobster is delicious and should be savored, not knocked back like it's medicine that you have to swallow.

    Rave:

    Finally bit the bullet and bought a small space heater for the basement. It's come up from 13*C (~57*F) to 18*C in the last hour. Woo-hoo! Now to go and shut it off, since I hate sleeping in the heat.

    Rave:

    The chair that was no match for my friend's dog:

    [​IMG]

    Has been replaced, for $35 on Kijiji:

    [​IMG]

    So long, leather chair. I'll always have your mate, which is now no longer part of a matched set.

    Rant: I have posted about a good friend of mine who has cancer. Well yesterday I found out he has blood poisining, what was a months to a year prognosis, has now become days. I'm telling you guys this was good fucking people, the world will be a darker, more humorless place without him in it. Seriosly and truly, not even a month in, and fuck the shit out of this year.

    Rave: Looks like I'll be off to India again in the next 6 weeks.
    Double Rave: All being well, I should be out there for 6 months
    Triple Rave: And it won't cost me a penny

    With any luck (and a lot of emails to the people I know out in Goa) I should be able to sort out a cheap and nice place to stay and get a little bit of work to bring in enough money to party for a few months. After that I'll be off to Kashmir until my visa runs out.



    Rant: Gone all kinds of nocturnal. It's gotten to the point where I'm considering starting smoking weed again in an attempt to sort out my sleeping patterns. Well, ok. I know that won't help in the slightest but it will at least mean I'm not as bored while I'm trying to get to sleep.

    Rave: Despite being jobless, single and it being winter (and all the SAD related shit it brings with it), I'm actually fairly happy and my depression hasn't flared up that much.

    Rave: Started my job as an adjunct professor.

    Rant: Went into it a bit too optimistically. Gotta realize not every college student is bright-eyed and eager to learn. Gotta learn how to either enthuse those who aren't, and if that's not possible, oh well.

    Rant: The online course site the university uses is garbage. I might just have to start a Wordpress page for it or something.

    RANT: Today's class was super long and I learned absolutely nothing new.

    RAVE: I actually enjoy women's tennis so this Australian Open coverage is welcome.

    RAVE: Caroline Wozniacki has great fucking legs.

    RANT: Its super warm down under and cold as hell here...

    Rave: I'm currently watching Space Jam, and it's awesome. I used to watch this movie every Friday with my best pal when we were young. I'm only now finding it weird that my favorite movie back then was about basketball.

    Rave, cont: Did you know that Danny Devito does the voice of the bad alien boss man? It was an hilarious realization.

    Rant: Shit day. Trying not to snap at everyone. Luckily it's almost over which means it's almost time for tomorrow which will likely be another shitty day. Fuck.

    Rant: Fuck Android. I want a fucking Iphone. Useless piece of fucking bullshit time wasting cocksucker.
    Rant: I don't actually want an iphone, they're just as fucking bad.
    Rant: My phone shipped with some piece of shit car panel app. It gets confused by bad weather and thinks that I'm driving my car with it on a window mount, so it should start, take over my screen and not let me use anything else. Every 5 minutes. It's a 30 day trial product that expired months ago anyway. But I can't uninstall the worthless fucking shitheap unless I root my phone, because someone in the android design team apparently sucked satan's cock. I've spent the last 4 fucking hours trying to root my phone, which is a supported model running a supported version of a supported rom and should require one click and 15 seconds to happen. And it doesn't fucking work. The retarded thing is I can see the failures happening in the shell output but the application doesn't catch the errors as failures, and thinks it's fucking worked. Mother fucker.
    Rant: Fuck technology.

    Rant:
    You can now buy a fleshlight attachment that essentially allows you to fuck your iPad. Seriously... (I'd link to it, but I'm at work. Just go to filmdrunk or google it if you want that in your search history forever).

    Do we really have to fuck everything, though? Not too long ago, I saw an ad for a special chair or foam block or something that you could jam a fleshlight into and fuck. Whatever happened to fucking people? You're telling me that there aren't enough people out there looking to get laid that you have to strap a thermos to your tablet or ottoman and fuck it?

    If that's really true (and I refuse to believe that it is) then that's more depressing to me than the rise of the Kardashians.

    Come on, Apple Fanboys have been dreaming of this for years.




    Rant: Came to work feeling better after being sick yesterday, it's come back with a vengeance now.

    RANT: I have absolutely no idea what to go to school for. I was happy at my former job and had no intentions of leaving or changing. It was already exactly what I wanted. I went to one of those career test sites and it said I should be an editor but that seems like a lot of schooling.

    ????: The board is probably right, I won't take over her finances.

    Rave: Took Angel's advice and decided to periodically go over her finances with her.

    Rave: Besides that one little fuck up with our credit card* and the accidental payment to the wrong card, she's been handling her cash great.

    Rant: She misfiled her 2009 and 2010 taxes.

    Rave: The feds owe her about four grand...

    Rant: ...because she couldn't be bothered with filing her 1098Ts.

    I told her that if we ever break up she needs to start hiring an accountant.

    *The worst part about that is it's not like she didn't have the money, she just forgot to transfer it from one of her other accounts and didn't check before submitting her payment.
