Apparently I just broke up with someone who I didn't even know was my girlfriend. How does that happen? It makes for a pretty frustrating conversation.
So I have not talked about it much but I've been training for a 108 mile ride that I will be going on in a few weeks. When I first agreed to it I was a little nervous. I have not ridden with groups much and that was twice as far as my previous longest ride. So I've been trying to take longer and longer... Read More
I actually try not to use it too often because I hate when women blame every goddamn issue they have on hormones. But I am so irrationally grouchy today I can think of no other reason why I would be so pissy.
Honestly, though, you can blame your hormones, too! Men have hormone cycles just like women but in men they are DAILY. ^_-
My mother asked me to run some errands with her today. She narrowly avoided car accidents at least four times. Each time it would have been her fault but she screamed about the other drivers. By the time we got home she was a nervous angry wreck. Then she got in a fight with my dad.
I am never riding with her again. God, I... Read More
I filed my taxes today. I owe the federal government $17. That's about as perfect as I can get it. I'm pretty happy about that. I don't like to have to pay in a lot and I don't like refunds. That just means I lent them my money interest free.
We are having some gopher problems and if I don't figure out something my dad... Read More
Join the "I'm out of it" club. I rarely, rarely get new music when it comes out. Even if I'm aware, I swear sometimes it takes me years like it's literally a savage afterthought.
I thought of this exchange of ours when I wandered into BestBuy (ha! It was right there) to look for Vampire Weekend. I found it and decided I deserved at least one more cd and tried to remember my extensive wishlists. Like Abe Simpson I stood, a blank mask having no idea of anything I remotely liked, let alone had been comp shopping for. And so I got nothing.
My working vacation was too much work and not enough vacation. I did see some lovely places though. Mostly through windows. I met some great people. Well, people who think they are great...that's almost the same isn't it?
Actually one of them was pretty cool. Smart, funny. And quite beautiful. She worked for one of our vendors. I wish I'd gotten a last name. Even... Read More
Thank you so much for the sentiments, and for reading that! I would be thrilled to make a convert of you, esp since you like The Beatles. You'll need him. His early stuff was folkie, but suddenly he went Beatles and was always praised for his likeness to them (like, he was never reguarded as a cheap knockoff, but like a wonderful modern memory).
On the booming Beatles tip, I recommend in this order: XO, then Figure 8, then From A Basement On the Hill (the latter his first posthumous). Then you are welcome to go back to the beginnings at your leisure, but I lately concern myself mainly with the Beatles-freakout-Smith. Eventually tell me what you think of XO because that's one of my "all time" personal loves.
Not to harp but I remember when he was alive not being able to believe how well he brought the Beatles back...it was crazy. And then it was gone.
I may be away for a few weeks. If any of you are going to go gray before I come back and want to stay in touch leave me a way to contact you. It seems like every time I turn around there is a new gray or black name. It makes a Squee sad. Otherwise I will see you all when I get back.... Read More
Do u do other ppls taxes for a living or something?? I cant imagine why else you'd nhate tax season ... unless u make SOOO much money that u end up paying in, which I didnt think that was the case with u.
getting there dude, the job's not wonderful but it covers my bills and gives me some reason other than spending money to get out of the house, i;ve got aplpications (as always) for better paid and more degree related positions, etc.
if you've got a ps3, add me I'm BobTKG (all one word, not sure if case sensitive biut capital B+TKG)
Chicago is an amazing city, but it all depends on what you're going for. Something similar but different? Something radically different? Or do u just wanna stay where u are and change certain things? If u have a lot of things there in MN to be happy abt it'll be HELL leaving. I learned the hard way!
Its funny, u mentioned u smoke. I cant imagine that! Call me crazy, but squee to me has always beenj the chartoon character that u have always used as your profile pic. I cant imagine u looking any other way! Its this weird disability I have, ppl here on sg ARE their profile pics! Walking talking profile pics! If they go to a bar ... I imagine their profile pic sitting on a bar stool, etc etc. Squee cant smoke! Its just not thinkable! lol!
Plus I always have to spend the day surrounded by extended family. Blech.
Post Christmas update.
The worst part of this season is the ridiculous gifts I see people give. Some people, especially people in my own family seem to think the more overpriced an item is the better gift it makes. What a waste.
I know that I've said this before, but it would be great if you were able to make it up here...and the official announcement will be made in a few weeks.
Re this journal. That sounds like you. Asshole.
Post today in the Clash City Rockers!
