because when the laundry starts to stiffen, you can turn it into furniture….it's a nice way to save money.

the bumble bee tuna ska song is stuck in my head.

i have to work tonight…and i'm pissed, because thursdays are full spar nights. all we do, the entire time, besides strectch, is spar. no other night is like that. other nights we do a 200 kicks and work on our forms, and do aerobic exercises, with maybe one round of sparing….but thursdays? all night. and i love that. it's fun. maybe i'm just a naturally violent person, but it's fantastic. i used to love those days in wrestling too.

I feel ya bro. But does every dojo in the country have thursday as sparring night? The three places I went to all had thursday as the dedicated sparring night.

And yes, it was the high point of my week, and now that the dojo is closed, and my blackbelt which was only 6 months away now an impossibility (unless I want to drive an hour away to the closest other school that teaches the style or three hours away to where he opened up another school), I feel like less of a person.

also, try to see if there is a different style closer. it may be worth it.

There is a school in the neighborhood that teaches Juko Kai, which from my observations is fairly close to the style of karate (matsamura nintai do shorin ryu)I used to study, and the instructor there knew my old sensei. Perhaps now that I have the money I should start up again.

Bumbleebee song? Like flight of the bumblebees or wha? I tend to sing "Remind me" whenever I'm walking somewhere.

My class is researching the effects on exercise on libido.

That's hilarious :)

Friday the 13th today.
I'm not suspicious, but the day is starting of badly anyway… Full of minor annoyances- but more annoying than usual. It's just a bad day.- Starting off with…

[spoiler=not for sensitive eyes]finding the toilet floor blood smeared with a rat body one side of it and the head on the other, the whole lot coated in ants… (they've been coming inside because of the heat).
My naughty tomcat didn't eat his kill… That's a bit annoying to clean up at 2 am.[/spoiler]

And soon I'll be visiting my dying grandmother in hospital. -_-

It would be if I didn't have to go up to random people and make them fill out a survey.

Don't you hate getting woken from great dreams?

That is why I wish my alarm clock was alive just so I could kill it. Seriously, when that things wakes me up in the mornings there is nothing in the world that I hate more than it.
Last night I was having this neat abstract dream with swirling green lights and stuff. It was like some totally whacked-out party in my mind, but without the damaging drugs and scary people.
And then my alarm went off, and it just all went dark. I was so depressed and angry.

Man, today has been a very weird and very busy day. Ya know I hate the word "random", but honestly I think it's apt here. Sheesh. I'm-a go cook me a pork roast now. And tomorrow I've gotta drive 8 hours to Philly, just as gas seems to be taking a hike back towards $2/gallon.

You always had that great work in you man. You've a great design sense, that was obvious from the start :)

thanks, I really appreciate that. :)
There's something really different from someone else saying it and you believing it yourself. So seeing the difference it really made happy.

I hate death knights.

More specifically, I hate anyone who already does 30% more dps than my rogue and beats me in rolls for loot.

the craigslist rant+vent thread is 100x more fun than this.

lol!

I saw a post there that says help me masterbate. Some dude was asking for techniques on how to masturbate. Man I cant stop laughing!!!

Hyena H_ll: Thanks for the poetry tip! The dictionary random word thing is working great. I'm not good at writing poetry, but I'm good at making things sound poetic(you know, so that teachers will like it), so it works perfectly for me.

Today is awesome, kinda.
It was the last day of school until next Wednesday, because of Mid-Winter Break.
I just finished penciling all the Pages of Chapter 1.
I already did my homework.
It's only Thursday night.
I just did a birthday sketch for one of my very good friends :3
And now, I can relax, drink some kool-aid (Kool-Aid is delicious, and somewhat better for you than pop. But not by much) and play some Conker's Bad Fur Day. Which I got really far in! :D

Life is good.
I just need that Pentel Pocket Brush Pen so I can start inking the last…2 pages of Chapter 1 ;_;

Craigslist is usually a heck of a lot more weird and hilarious than most other sites could ever be. I've been digging through it to see if I can find a cheap apartment or some place new to live and I've found all sorts of messed up requirements like "must be ok with loud sex / pain sounds" and "overweight or disabled people preferred as it helps keep our rent low". Needless to say, I skipped over those ads.

One of my classes required me to create and build a genre-based helmet. So I naturally went with the internet / cyberpunk just to piss my teacher off because he's totally tech-impaired and can't stand things he doesn't get. So now I've got this awesome looking samurai kabuto helmet made from computer chips, a hardhat, some faux fur and a mask I carved to resemble the Guy Fawks mask. It's heavy as hell already and I've still got more to put on it. Now I'm just waiting for the mp3 speaker system I ordered to arrive. I'm hoping it gets here before the helmet it due on Monday. I can't help but give in to the temptation to confuse people as to how I'm playing music from my head.

And yes, Rick Astley will be featured prominently in the playlist.

Ho-hum…
I saw my grandmother today. She looked well, even though she's dying. She recognised me for a moment, which was very touching but made me very, very sad… The morphine keeps her well out of it, but she needs it because of the cancer, she has an automated feed drip or some such thing. No other pipes or tubes though.
It won't be long now. 96 is a good age…
She's my last grand parent.

I'm really enjoying my time on craigslist.

Keeps my boring job more entertaining and interesting (at least I got a job. I'll keep it even if its mind-numbing as hell).

For some reason I find it funny posing as a girl and getting at least 15 guys to respond to my ad. lol!

Craigslist is like the theater of the absurd. It satisfies this voyeuristic need for me to peer into the (often bizarre/ pathetic/ tragicomic) lives of strangers. Sometimes I think it's all a scam, and was set up as the means to conduct sociological/ psychological research.

I absolutely love reading the personals section, especially the ones that are blatantly requesting drugs, sex for money/ money for sex, or a fetishistically specific "love interest". You can't make these things up! Although my favorite ones are not quite appropriate for sharing in the forums. ;)

The spoiler tag is good for some things like that. ;)
in a way…
It's just "spoiler" between square brackets like when you do the other tags…

I just woke up about an hour ago (which was like, 9 something) and I jumped in the shower, and made breakfast. Since Mid-Winter break starts today, I don't have school until Wednesday!
Today will basically be working on Chapter 2 stuff. That's what the next while will be. I think I'm going to do the scripting differently though, this time around. I'll write out a pre-write, then type it up. And I'll change whatever I want to the script, like I did last time.
I wish I could say all the things I've changed, but it'd probably give it away. Sucks that the first Chapter is kinda boring, because it's just an 'introduction' chapter. Then the 2nd one is where the storyline REALLY picks up.

Oh, and I got a choice of either ordering the Pentel Pocket Brush pen, or getting new microns.
I definitely chose the brush pen.
That is all for my incredibly long rant.

it's snowing, and since i worked late last night, i pry wont have to go in by the time i was scheduled to go in.
it'll be a fourday weekend for me.

i also found out i'll be switching squadrons…which is something i dont wanna do. but i have no say in the matter.

5pm Friday, time for my weekend to start!

I have a ton of stuff I want to do but I also want a nap… however there's no fear of my taking one, because my coworker's son is supposed to come round within a few hours to pick up the sofa. If I take a nap I'll miss the text telling me they're leaving. (I need to meet them partway because the roads are confusing.)

I hope my new sofa comes next week. I want my supercomfy sofa before next weekend. (with my luck lately, it will come on Wednesday, the day I had to move all of this week's appointments to because I didn't have a car)

It's getting really nice outside and I have to fight the urge to blow off work and spend the day outside enjoying the ( relatively ) warmer weather. It's about 50 degrees out. After a winter of subzero temperatures that seems quite rosy weather to me. Plus it's sunny and we're supposed to be getting clouds and snow tomorrow. I can't stop thinking about spring and it's making me really antsy because it means a season or two of outdoor activities is coming and I hate being cooped up.

I found this thing called kiva too and I'm tempted to make a small loan just for the good of doing it despite my rather limited budget. It seems like a really cool and beneficial concept to help someone who needs the money.
