Rave: Got my wife a new (to us) vehicle. Rant: It's a minivan. Rant: Yes, it's a motherfucking minivan. Rant: Every time I post here, there's some sort of error. It still posts, but it gives me some error page. It looks like this:
RANT: The power went out on Friday night. Kinda hard to prepare food with no electricity (most people don't use gas here for cooking, since it's expensive and bulky to have gas cylinders). RAVE: As a result, my mom and I had a good talk for once. I think I'll be getting tested for Asperger's as soon as we can afford it, which is good news. Apparently there are a lot of different tests that have to be done. My mom was just annoyed at all the medical "professionals" who missed it (if I have it, that is). [geek]RAVE: New graphics card (as seen on the WDT). Seems to run well - I can play CoD 4 with all detail set to the highest setting at maximum resolution (1600x900 for this monitor) and 4x anti-aliasing. This is definitely a new experience for me. Haven't tried Fallout New Vegas or Need For Speed Hot Pursuit yet but I am sure they'll look stunning.[/geek] EDIT: For those of you (read: all of us) having trouble posting, post as normal and click on Back until you are back to the thread itself, hit Refresh and your post will show up. I've only tried this with Firefox but I think it'll work with other browsers too...
Rave: Pulled off a 75 miler on the bicycle, was not going too fast but it was definitely an improvement over last week. Rant: Got bit by this small golden retriever / cocker spaniel mix. I got the owners information and will be calling the vet tomorrow to ensure that the dog has had all of her shots, and hopefully that will be the end of it and I will not have the rabies. The worst part about it though is that the owner also told me that he had 5 other dogs previously escape from the SAME hole and subsequently become asphalt decor. JESUS FUCK fix the hole after abstract art number one.
Rant: It's been a shit 5 weeks. I'm fucking lonely and horny as fuck. Rant: Finally motivated to clean up for the first time in weeks Rave: Because someone's coming over for 'dinner' tomorrow night.mas Rave: Blue balls enducing 5 weeks means I only got laid once, and it was a threesome. I've had way worse dry spells. Shit that made the last 5 weeks so bad really sucked, but feels way worse because the 6 months before were so fucking amazing. Rave: 'slump buster' is insanely hot and generally awesome girl who I've wanted to fuck for months
Rave: It's so fucking beautiful outside, I wish I had the day off to enjoy the sunshine. Shit, I was out walking my sister's dog in shorts yesterday. That's insane! Rave: I want this shirt.
RAVE: Just moved across the world and am now sitting in an airport in Australia. RANT: Holy fuck, I just moved across the world and am living by myself for the first time. This is going to be an interesting year.
Dear People; If you are not a: - licensed carpenter - licensed plumber - licensed electrician Please do not try to build your own: - structure - plumbing/HVAC - electrics Love, me. I swear to Christ, just when I think I've seen the dumbest thing ever, someone turns around and drills through that bottom to find a newer low. WHO CUTS THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT FLOOR JOISTS. TO RUN PLUMBING. This is why people drink. Edit: they were open web joists. Hence my rage. Why would you cut a hole in something that already looks like this: Spoiler
rant: Rented a car, like 8 months ago. got a tiny cosmetic scratch while parked. Went through the bullshit of deciding that I was on the hook for $1200 because of scratch. Bullshit but I signed the contract like an idiot. I should have paid it. Turns out I didn't actually pay it. Not on purpose - just I'm an irresponsible jackass and forgot. Stupid and I should have paid it - my fault. Rather than calling me to go 'dude, not paid, what the fuck?' or sending me a second fucking email? They've filed court papers over it. For fuck sake.
Rave/Rant: This is so off the wall stupid I can't help but laugh. Took a roadtrip for work today. I was in the follow car. I knew we were going the wrong way, but didn't give enough of a shit to correct the person in the lead car. Red line = the highway we should have followed Blue line = the way we went. Spoiler \ Rant: Only parents should be subjected to hearing tween girls sing lmfao's i'm sexy and I know it. Spoiler Wow....that video is all sorts of mature for a 12 year old.
rant:She just had to cancel due to early onset 'lady times'. Fuck. Between this is 'instead of emailing you a reminder, we thought we might take you to court' - I'm not a huge fan of today.
Rant: Woke up with a massive headache. It didn't go away after a two hour nap. However, that two hour nap has now ensured that I can't fall asleep at 1 AM. Pain mitigated only slightly (i.e. I can function without wanting to drill a hole in my own head) with prescription painkillers. This is as close to a migraine as I've had in about a year, and I was really hoping they wouldn't come back.
Rant: Defence Personnel can go fornicate themselves with an iron stick and they can take my hierarchy with them. Have to wait at least another three months to find out if I got my transfer now because they reopened the nominations for the course I want. Fucking ass clowns couldn't organise a root in a brothel with a fist full of fifties.
Rant: I quit drinking hard alcohol for a month, and last night had two stiff vodka tonics which would have left me a bit buzzed but OK in the morning a month ago. This morning? Holy fucking headache.
Rave: Getting contacts today! Also updating my glasses Rx. I'll still probably wear glasses at home but it is nice to have contacts when you're dressing up (WEDDING HERE I COME) or going on interviews or whatnot. Yeehaw! Rant: Still kinda feeling like a pussy about them. My dad, who was around for the popularization of contact lenses, remembers them when they were dangerous and scratched your lens very easily. So of course he has been offering me lots of advice on the matter.
Rant - I'm busier than a three dicked billy goat....and not slowing down. This one day off every couple of weeks thing is nonsense. Being douchebagged by employees is never fun and I want nothing more than to put my foot in this bitch's ass. I've been left high and dry before but this doesn't just screw me, it screws the kids she was responsible for and the business. Rave - I'm so busy because my CrossFit gym is exploding. Classes are packed at the seams and more people are coming in. The Biggest Loser and Reebok are doing some great things for the brand. Raver - I may have a unique training opportunity come up this week. I'm thrilled. Any positive difference I can make in this woman's life is going to be immensely rewarding.
Rant/Rave: I just spent the last 20 minutes listening to our IT guy try to explain to a woman in the office that the reason she can no longer get on the internet was not because her laptop was broken, but that because her neighbors had now password protected their wi-fi. She was arguing that it was her laptop that was asking for the password because "wi-fi is free".
Rant: Putting off cleaning up the basement. After finally getting the guest bedroom and guest bathroom finished down there (and finishing some stuff in the work out room), the remainder of my unfinished basement looks like it got hit by a tornado. Scrap wood, sawdust, and ceiling tile scraps and dust are everywhere, and I am not looking forward to cleaning it all up. Rave: Room and bathroom are done, with only a few minor details remaining (i.e. hanging a shower curtain and putting curtains up in the bedroom). We got done right on time, as we have family coming to stay with us this weekend.
