Decidedly non-awesome. I think.
Poof. Memory hole. Didn't even notice until I sat down at my computer just now and read my last post, and suddenly remembered that this was anything but an ordinary day of getting up out of bed, going to work, doing workish things, coming home, napping, reading a book ( Read more... ) -
Damn you, fleshy soul-box, damn you for your poor workmanship.
I went in to the dentist's today to let them pipe happy gas into my lungs, poke a laser in my mouth, and zap out 75% of two of my teeth. I was willing to enter the building because I had previously popped a couple of these lovely pills prescribed for just that purpose - Triazolam. I think that triazolam may be one of my new best friends. A pity ( Read more... ) -
The most despised Truth Meme
Despite my general dislike for memes of all species, this one did sound kind of interesting. Generally I'm more interested in the questions asked than answers given, which is the only reason you see this reposted on my own LJ. You may blame madmoisellestar for spreading this particular memetic infection, which seems to be related to that most virulent childhood ( Read more... ) -
Goodbye, dollars.
I skipped out on the latter half of work today to go to the dentist. It didn't take all that long since it turns out that there's nothing urgent to do, aside from not, you know, chewing gravel for the next week. On the 23rd I will go in, very drugged, and have that tooth and the one next to it (might as well take advantage of the visit to fix ( Read more... ) -
In which Cassady carves pumpkins, drinks booze, and breaks a tooth.
I went to a party up at Dan's place in Hillsboro, which he was throwing to celebrate OSU's probable horrible horrible defeat in the game against Cal (Dan is a football nut.) Lots of friends, food, and alcohol. And pumpkin carving. Much fun all around... until I ate the fried rice ( Read more... ) -
Somebody had a bad night
Tonight I watched EMTs wheel a dead body out of a house near 23rd and Monroe. At least, I assume he was dead - I don't think they wrap the living ones in white sheets. Bystanders had two theories: a) a fight that led to a stabbing; b) a fight that led to fatal beating with a beer bottle. Both bystanders were high. I put faith in neither story ( Read more... ) -
So much for diplomacy
I very nearly got in a fight in a bar tonight. From anger. What strikes me as strange, now that I think about it, is that I can only count three times in my life that I've actually felt angry. One was tonight. This girl would not stop petting my head (I shaved off all my hair a few weeks ago.) I told her I didn't know her and politely asked ( Read more... ) -
The truly Rational Man would skip this post
I realize that articles on economics rarely fall under most folks' categories of "riveting" or "fascinating," but I found that the Wikipedia article concerning the concept of a public good was surprisingly intereresting. -
A rambling flow of gibberish that includes rent, woe, pianos, woe, roommate searches, and glee.
Well, I just paid rent for the first time since Eric moved out to live with his brother Aaron when he finally gets out of the Marine Corps, so the full effect of my rent doubling has just now sunk in as the ink on the check dries.
Apparently, living in this house is quite expensive. I need to find a roommate. In a critical sort of way. ( Read more... ) -
Update?
I suppose a real update is in order, as I have been back for a day now. I'm glad my priority was to have fun camping with Dad rather than to come back home with a ridiculous quantity of really, really cheap venison, because although I saw, oh, about EIGHTY deer over the weekend, not a single one had antlers. Perhaps we are selecting against ( Read more... )
