Rave: There's a heated discussion going on outside my office regarding the viability of 3-D porn. I just heard the phrase "ball draining babes was converted to 3-D, and it looked awful" used in an office setting.
Re: Rant & Rave Thread Rant: Just got cut off for the next 30 days until the wedding night, have not received a valid argument on why this is necessary but whatever
Rave Had a face to face interview at the very large accounting firm today. I think it went very well. I'm just exhausted now, though. It lasted about two hours and involved talking with four different people. Plus I'm running on about 3-4 hours of sleep. Plus battling a head cold. Today has just been quite the avalanche of suck, I guess is what I am trying to say. It looks like I was able to score to some bonus points, though, with a couple of the interviewers by shit talking Notre Dame. Which I like to do whenever I get the chance. Rant The other accounting position passed on me. I wasn't surprised really. I gelled well with the interviewer and all of the other folks I talked to, I just didn't have the experience they needed. So, all in all, it looks very promising for a position at the very large accounting firm. This next year is gonna blow big time between working quite a lot of hours plus doing the CPA exam. It'll be worth it, though. Between having my license and being able to put this firm on my resume, I should have a pretty good foundation for the rest of my career.
RAVE: My Mom was craving some fried chicken, but didnt want to go the standard KFC route. She asked me to try a local caterer who has a small cafe. I get there and look at the menu, and of course.. no fried chicken. I asked the lady at the counter anyway, and she in turn asked the owner, who informs me he just added it to the menu earlier that day. Fifteen minutes later, I'm eating the best chicken I've ever tasted. Made KFC look like last week's pigeon. The owner even threw in a free pound of slaw and some fresh homemade rolls. I will go back, shake his hand, and thank him in person. RANT: I got greedy and ate far more than I should have. RAVE: I'm not constipated anymore.
Rave: I decided to learn how to write screenplays as my project for the Fall. Originally, I was intending to write films, but an idea for a TV show popped into my head, so I've written five episodes. I sent them to my two friends who usually read my writing and for some reason they have "lives" and haven't gotten back to me with a response yet. My dad was the one who has been not-so-subtly suggesting that I start writing for TV for the past year or so, so even though the show is centered around stuff that would be awkward to talk about with your dad (sex, essentially), I decided to tell him about it and sent him the first two episodes. I gave him fair warning, and he promised to "put on his editor's hat" and not let the weirdness of reading his daughter's sex jokes get in the way. His response: "This is actually good!" (More or less.) Putting his surprise aside for a minute (THANKS, DAD) it was nice to hear because I was really just fucking winging it. I do really like the idea but I didn't know if I was pulling it off on the technical side of it. He also gave me some good criticism to work off of, and it gave me the motivation to keep going with it. Rant: The ideas for the first five episode came tumbling out of my head, but while I have random scenes here and there figured out, I don't have any full ideas for any more episodes yet. I've only been working on it for a short time so I'm not worried or anything, but I want to keep writing and I can't. Booooo
Rave: A new bar owned by my landlords opened up directly under me called Reservoir, I was promised resident discounts and perks. It was supposed to open in December, but of course there were setbacks. Rant: My landlords rub me the wrong way. They're not bad guys but something about them bother me. They're just slightly shifty and have that nervous nature about them. They are also a type of foreign I can't put my finger on. Sulejmani is one of their last names, they look white-ish, but who the hell knows? Either way, excited about the new bar, but conflicted with giving these guys more money. Rave: Fuck it, booze. I hope they have wings (because I'm black for the racists out there). Previewed their menu and it looks slightly hoity toity we'll see.
Rave: House to myself for the next six days! Rant: Lots of cleaning and housework to be done. I have to scrub the house from top to bottom, detail both cars, finish hanging pictures, detail the garage, move a bookshelf and our DVD collection, and many other jobs that we've been putting off. At least two days worth of work. Rant: Already miss the wife and kid. She keeps sending me adorable pictures, and I am finding myself missing them a lot. Rave: I got to take a nap today. I slept for four solid hours, and when I woke up I wasn't quite sure what day it was. It might've been the best sleep I've gotten since we had the kid. Rave: New Router. Old one was a piece of shit that kept cutting out, but I didn't have the time to go get a new one until today. Rave: Also picked up Madden '13, and now have time to play it. This is going to be an excellent few days.
Rave: Got a longboard. Didn't know I had the balance for it, but I'm addicted. Not a rant: does anyone live in manhattan and wanna skate around with me? I don't have any skater friends. boo.
Not Sure?: My mother is discussing 50 Shades of Grey, political conventions, and Kegels on Facebook, in the same conversation. I don't want to hear about any of that.
Rant? Rave? WARNING: Melodramatic about a girl I met a girl, about four years ago in Prague, had a great night but she left me with blue balls, I left Prague the next day and thought I'd never see her again. That evening was the only time in my life I've ever felt the way I did. A few weeks later she found me and the brother on FB. We were into each other, if we were in the same country it would've been on. That was three years ago. We've talked about once a year since. Its clear that if we were ever in the same city we'd see where it goes. She's single, and we've been texting a fair bit today. Its clear that night hasn't escaped either of our memories. She lives in Atlanta, me in SD. I want to find a way to meet up with her, but I know she doesn't want me flying out there just to see her, cause you know we've only met once, and it'd be weird for me to spend that much money to essentially see a stranger. My complaint is that I need to turn this texting into regular texting, then into regular calling, then into finding a place time to meet up. I'm unsure in how to bring this about, I know I need to text call her, but I'm not sure how to keep the ball rolling. When do I call her, when do I text her next, when do I slowly start talking about dumb interpersonal stuff? Yep, its official, I've become a girl.
rant while doing a night run last night i managed to lose the key to the gf's jeep. it's apparently the only key. after calling 5 different locksmiths at 9 pm on a thurs, not a single one was open/answered. i now get to drive the gf to work, go back and re-trace my steps, and hope and pray i can spot a grey key on the ground. it also rained last night....fuck.
Rant: The Girlfriend's job offer just got cancelled. I'm stuck in Korea with an awesome job, in a great city and she's stuck in the US. I've been doing long distance for a little over a month, and I'm reaching my limits. This, and the grad school's tuition hike has just up-fucked my life for the foreseeable future. God damn it. Rant #2: It's pissing rain. Again. Predicted to rain all weekend long. Rave: Football? I guess?
Rant: Had a shitty, unmotivated week at work. Rave: Doing a brewery tour tonight, and the idea came from my girlfriend. She is awesome like that. Rave/Rant: Shooting in the last match of the year tomorrow. Should be fun, although the weather won't be the best and I want to keep competing year round.
Huge MEGA Rave: Thanks to some fine folks on here who convinced me I'm not a total cheapskate/douchbag for not buying a "brand name" diamond, I scooped up a 1.42 carat VS2 H color diamond for $3000 plus my old wedding band. I'd say I did pretty well on that one.
Rave: taught my old dog a new trick. After 3-4 months of constant attempts at teaching him how to roll over, he can now do it! Next up: sitting pretty. I'm not sure that one will ever be successful though.
