Rant: Entire face is still burning, peeling, and itching because of that fucking medicine. Last night I couldn't sleep so I had to mix up a combination of Vaseline and daily moisturizing lotion and covered my face. Small Rave: it IS improving, little by little. It's just one of those things I've got to wait out.
Ugh. While everyone knew it was coming, the announcement of the PS4 probably means a new, non-backwards-compatible XBox coming soon.
Rave: Total tax liability: $569.00. Rave: Lost another 10 lbs. over the past 3 weeks. This may well be a future rant, because I'm not doing anything that should result in this kind of weight loss. I can barely walk due to knees, let alone exercise. Can't explain it.
RAVE: I'm in school for sound engineering, and I'm just about to start my first big (for me anyway) post production project. I have to find a scene from a movie/show/whatever and do all the sound for it - dialogue, effects, music, everything. So far this kind of thing has been what's interested me the most, and the guy teaching this class would be an awesome reference to have, so I really want to knock this out of the park. So, this is just a thinly veiled request for help. I need to find a scene I can do something with, but I don't really have a ton of resources to record sounds. So here's what I'm looking for, please let me know if you can think of a scene from anything that's like this. I'm thinking somebody/some people working in some kind of shop or lab. Something where they're tinkering around with different tools building a robot, electronics, or whatever. Something futuristic maybe, as it would be cool if the sounds weren't obvious; as in, I could get creative on how to design the sounds to match what's going on on screen rather than just "oh that's a hammer, oh that's a drill." There needs to also be some dialogue the scene. Not a lot, but at least one character saying a few lines. Oh, and it has to be at least 3 minutes long. Any ideas would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Rave: New truck. Been 12 years since I bought a truck. Rant: Truck payment. RAVE!!!: Need to buy a new belt. Can't tighten it up any farther... lost too much weight!
Rave Bought my ticket to Vegas for March Madness with my dad and brother. I've been a handful of times before, never leaving disappointed. Rave Dad's timeshare allowed him to transfer a week to Vegas and he said it was a nice condo right off the strip. I don't believe he's ever been to Vegas, and doesn't mention the name, but I trust his taste. RANT it's goddamn, motherfucking Circus Circus. I don't want to be rude or WASP-y, but I really don't want to spend a weekend surrounded by families and geriatrics. It's not like we can just go next door either. Old Vegas is like Branson, minus Yakov Smirnoff which makes it even worse. I'll smell like Virginia Slims for weeks.
RANT: Just got a frantic phone call from my ex-husband. The woman that's buying our house in a short sale (for 120k less than what we paid for it) less than a month from closing wants us to pay to rewire the house. The wiring passed inspection twice. We clearly advertised the house was sold "as is." We're under no obligation to pay for jack shit. Plus, neither of us have the cash to pay for that sort of thing. I told him to reject the offer and if she walks, fuck her, she loses her earnest money. Apparently people will do things like this if they know you're desperate to sell. We ain't that desperate, you fucking cuntwhore. You should've brought that up weeks ago when the house was inspected then. Fuck yourself.
Rave: Spent a wonderful weekend with The Husband. Wine tasting, bottomless mimosas, happy good times.
Rave: It always amuses me how I keep my most serious and least serious things all in one drawer, so when I go to look for something like my checkbook or stamps or Passport or batteries I have to dig through vibrators and condoms and lube and handcuffs. Sometimes it makes writing checks easier. Although it can get awkward when, say, my roommate or dad is in the room and I'll be like "Oh yeah, I can write you the check right now" and then I get all shifty-eyed and try to get them to leave the room while I stay.
Rave: Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas. Friend's first time in Vegas and naturally we are both sober, so this will be an interesting adventure! Maybe I will finally get to see the Grand Canyon.
Rave: I am not the only one who has a freaky "junk" drawer. Mine also has hookah tubes, screens and various pipe scraping implements.
RAVE: Just when I thought my life was going one direction it decided to go the other. RAVE: I thought I would take things slow but I've kind of dived back in and I'm happy with that. RANT: I'm still hesitant and scared of nothing changing and the same shit happening again.
Rant: Vegas has to be the only town where the top story on the 11 PM news of a woman being arrested for fucking her pit bull in full view of God and everyone doesn't even merit a mention 5 hours later. Why? Because a Range Rover shot the shit out of a Maserati on the strip. 3 dead, a taxi cab blown up and the strip will be shut down till at least 6 this evening.
Rant: Girlfriend shifted forward too far when she was riding me last night and what I intended to be a firm slap on her ass ended up nailing my balls.
Rant: I am a planner. I like to know what is coming and mentally brace myself while making sure I have everything in order to deal with it. Which sucks, because the powers that be have so many options in store for el husband. Will be be deployed to Afghanistan? Will he get out early this summer on the VERP? Will he get out at regular time, Feb 2014? Will physical therapy for his knee be a bust and they medically separate him (which apparently is a long process and could end up taking place AFTER his EAS date)? It's just frustrating because he is planning on going to school in the fall and spring and working with my dad during the summers. It would be cool if he got out with a month of downtime for one of those time periods to start. We need a house, and therefore a loan (not to mention, the house we'll need is over 5500 miles away). I need a job. There are so many things up in the air and it's making me very anxious.
