Good Xorning, 2008!

[DjinnAndTonic]

Damn, Cmdr, I hope the money's good.

I'm pretty sure there's got to be some kind of ethical, if not legal, repercussions for your bitchy owner's moody actions.

Oh lord no.  31~ hours at $7.40
But hey, it's Michigan, ground zero of the mounting depression.  I'm screwed when there are jobs available (hounding for interviews =/= CK-friendly activity), so right now it's probably not even worth my time looking >.>

[Cotigo]

Ooph.  Sounds rough.  Good luck.  Still sounds better than unemployment, though.

EDIT:  Whee, it's snowing.  Like, for 15 minutes, then stopping, then starting again.  East Anglia's weather is crazy.  Like, CK's boss crazy.

[superaielman]

Food service is enough fun without insane bosses. Good luck man, hopefully you can find something better or just tough it out.

[AAA]

Snowing pretty steadily here, not much is sticking though.

[VySaika]

Well, Jenna's mother still had her old computer that she wasn't using anymore, so we picked it up from her on Sat and spent all Sunday trying to get it to run. Installing XP on it took forever(it was a Linux machine before), but we finally got it working and connected to the internets, so I'm back well before the March return we were fearing.

Well, mostly back. This thing plods along like a turtle with peanut butter shoes and likes to randomly stop recognizing the keyboard, but that's still a damn sight better then no computer at all.

[superaielman]

Yay. Welcome back, sorta.

[Cotigo]

Welcome back, sorta.

Most passive agressive phrase ever.

---

a section entitled ‘Choses qui font honte’ has the narrator describing how she dislikes accidentally witnessing her husband having his anus shaved.

Every time I think I'm just sick of academia, that I want to just finish up and not think for a while, I come across an article filled with passages like that and remember that reading this counts as productivity.  Wee.

I have a car! a month of walking everywhere finally comes to an end.

Downside: I also have a car loan.

[Bardiche]

Enjoy paying road taxes, gas prizes and picking up hot girls who totally dig your car.

Pictures are required.

[Shale]

I have a Kia. I don't think "hot girls" enter into it anywhere. And gas prices are almost two dollars below where they were when I filled up my old, dead car for the last time, so I'm good with that.

[Shale]

I met Greg Hildebrandt today. That was pretty cool.

Okay, fixed.

[NotMiki]

you reset you preferences to 'not trippin?'

[Cotigo]

Whoever said that dogs should not take acid...
...definitely wasn't a dog on acid.

Also, did you know that Hurricanes are called hurracanoes in British?  I didn't.  CONSIDER YOUR MINDS BLOWN.

God damn it procrastination write in the word document not on forums you silly twat.

EDIT:  Also, did you know that the most inane idea spouted off by literary theorists is that literary theorists build upon the work of previous theorists?  Honestly, I thought trying to apply Freud to all aspects of literary criticism was until I got this topic.  Incidentally, I'm blaming my poor mark on this essay on a combination of bad (inflexible) topic, being drunk, and not having slept for a day.  Sure the last two are entirely my own fault but it shelters my fagile ego.  I meant to type fragile but I felt the typo was more apropriate.  HEY LOOK STILL NOT WRITTEN ANY MORE ON THE ESSAY THIS IS AT LEAST 300 WORDS THAT WOULD HAVE MADE IT IN AND BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH RAPE.

EDIT 2:
RAPE RAPE RAPE SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON SKELETON RAPE

EDIT 3:  Oh, yes, and apologies to OK, who is not getting sleep due to actually doing real work while I am depriving myself of sleep because I'm a lazy lazy lazy sodomite.  If I come to DLCRoman Numerals you get to kick me in the dick.

EDIT 4: Did you know that in Spanish, Hahaha is Jajaja?  I DID...N'T UNTIL JUST LIKE NOW.

EDIT 5: WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?!

EDIT 6: It's because of the rape, isn't it?

EDIT 7: I CAN CHANGE, I CAN CHANGE.  I DON'T HAVE TO BE A HORNY LITTLE BASTARD.

EDIT 8:  Okay.  that's... quite enough.

EDIT 9:  Tricked!

[AndrewRogue]

Man what

[Dhyerwolf]

Can someone confirm that those were actually 9 separate edits and not say 2 with a heavy dose of him being insane?

[Cotigo]

I'll say this.

I edited that post 9 times, but they all happened one right after the oh god Plato's ghost is coming to rape me with a needle to the urethra

EDIT:  Oh, it might have been eight times.  I kinda stopped paying attention after a bit.

EDIT 2:  You certainly paid more attention to it than productivity.

EDIT 3:  Let's not start this again, you.

EDIT 4: JAM, JAM, JAM, GREEN EGGS AND HAM

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

So, Zenny. Liking that academia thingy?

[superaielman]

*Super has leveled up!* Gain skill: Swimming, ping pong. Pool has leveled up to 1.1!

Got a rec center card. I go to swim and play pool with a friend. It's been a lot of fun so far, wtih the highlight being teaching myself how to swim -finally-. My arms hurt like a mofo though, but oh well.

[Cotigo]

So, Zenny. Liking that academia thingy?

Oh only when what I'm dealing with isn't useless crap that I don't want to deal with.  But it's done now. 

Regardless... I've got to stop drinking so much coffee when I work. 

[OblivionKnight]

And off to Orlando for the ASHP MidYear 2008.  Be back Thursday.  I might try to post if I'm mentally stable and not busy as all hell.

I took my Japanese Language Proficiency Test yesterday.

...ugh.

The first half of the Listening section wasn't so bad. There were pictures, so it was easy enough to follow the conversation.

Then the second half was just  random dialogues and then questions about said dialogue, followed by spoken answer choices for each question. By the time I finished listening to the answers, I'd completely forgotten most of the half-heard dialogue, and sometimes even the question... It was murder.

The grammar section wasn't -too- bad, in parts. When it was just about conjugating verbs, I was doing fine! But when it came to particles/postpositions, my answer sheet would have made a stunning Christmas tree...

Oddly enough, the kanji/vocab section was cake...

At least, I -think- it was... it could be that I did much worse there than I thought...

Best part? No results til February!

I only need 60% to pass, but it's a Japanese standardized test, so who knows how hard that'll be...

Oh, ouch. Listening part is pretty much insanity for any Eastern language, so hopefully you did well there...

頑張ります！
