I went to my dads house in Northern Virginia a couple of summers ago for the first time in a long time. It wasn't a brood year, but the hipster cicaidas came out before it was cool. Add into that the fact that after 9-11 the flight path of Reagan National had been changed to making a turn near the house so that the engine sounds were focused on us, and the flight traffic has increased 3 fold over the past years, there was no longer a quiet moment to catch outside aside from the lack of plane traffic as the hurricane came through. It was this all day: ChchchchchchchhchchchchhchhhhhhhchhhhhVREEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeemmmmmcchchchchchhchchchchchchhhhhhACHHCHCHCHCHCHCHHCHCHCHCHCHHCHHCHchchchchVREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeem. My dad and his wife have now installed triple pane windows to keep the sound in the house down.
Ok, woke up at 4:40, watched the rest of Gangster Squad, walked the dog 3 miles, took care of a client's cat, cleaned the kitchen, and updated my iCal and synched with phone. What time does Old Country Buffet open? I feel my hair turning blue...
That's what happens here when you ask stuff. I by some miracle have the whole place to myself for the entire day. It feels cavernous and eerie here, especially with my Southern British party girl mother-in-law staying with us for the month.
The people without kids are in bed naked playing Clash of Clans and perusing their message boards. Sexy, eh?
I've lived next to airfields for the last 3 years, I have not only become accustomed to the sound but I fear I won't be able to sleep without it when I move to Germany and finally will be able to get away from that noise. I was pretty angry when I got to Korea and found out the base dormitories are like 200 yards from the runway, nothing like being a shift worker and having airplane start taking off right when you go to sleep. The inner nerd in me enjoys watching airplanes take off even in my off time, it doesn't get old for me, but fuck I will not miss that noise.
Stoned, waiting for an "investment lunch." Should be interesting, on the one hand this guy was a CPA and a good one at that before he decided to start his own financial firm, on the other hand he was snorting heroin in the car on the way to the Clemson game this year (which matters because its the biggest rivalry and in state so its like a violent, yet also family friendly, environment). I'm just gonna eat my free lunch, drink a couple of beers and get the hell out of there.
Re: Re: Weekend Drunk Thread, 5/17 No no, it's shaking a bottle of Oxy, haven't you watched the Whites?
I was going to offer to blow the husband in exchange for him getting up early this morning to take our daughter to practice but instead decided to treat us to breakfast afterwards. Between the two of us we had huge pancakes, eggs, home fries, bacon, toast, coffee and chocolate milk for the low low price of $8. We needed a death certificate to get into the place but that seemed a small price to pay for a cheap meal. I feel like I made the right decision.
Drink classy, bitches. This link is great, because I made it to two English bookstores in Seoul today, before visiting Gangnam and laughing at the plastic surgery and giant-eyed, high-heeled sporting walking stereotypes. <a class="postlink" href="http://popchartlab.com/products/the-cocktail-chart-of-film-literature" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://popchartlab.com/products/the-coc ... literature</a>
I drank a little too much and lost my hat. I am also now attending a wedding in Destin with a smoking hot black girl because I have a girlfriend. Your guess is as good as mine.
I just shotgunned my toilet bowl with a foulness that would make a vulture drool. I'm really hoping it was the two cinnamon-sugar/butter covered biscuits from yesterday morning and not the beef from last night, otherwise I'll be having a LOT of leftovers to throw out.
I went out drinking immediately after work yesterday and was so drunk by 7:30 I had to be dropped off at home. I try to live by these rules like don't skip dinner, and slam a glass of water and eat some bread before you go to sleep, but I am terrible at following them.
