You get enough of that at home, right?
Maybe they were super cheap ($2?) or free? Shit, I'd drink Heineken all night if it was that cheap, it ain't that bad.
Azn, brah. Heineken cost the same as any other beer, but I only saw one other bottle of beer sold the whole night, and it was to a honky.
60 year-old Cambodian dudes were buying them twelve at a time. Also saw a guy at the table next to ours buy a bottle of Henny. His table put it down in about a half hour.
They're probably under the uniformed opinion that it is fancy beer.
What does an opinion uniform look like?
A room full of sad faces.
My sister asked me a couple of weeks ago if I could find her an old PC that she could give to my niece, since they live in a small town and I'm in a city where this shit is cheap and easy to find. All she needs it for is web browsing and iTunes, so I figured I could find something pretty fast for little or no money. Sure enough, yesterday I found a fully functional old PC (Athlon XP 3000, 512MB DDR400, 80GB HDD, combo drive, decent motherboard and PSU) sitting on the sidewalk around the corner from my house. I just had to wipe the hard drive and set up Windows XP and few drivers and programs, and now it's ready to go. I also have a really nice flatscreen CRT that I grabbed from the curb last summer and have no use for, so that's basically complete system for free.
what kind of sack of shit throws that out?
The screaming canine kind.
It wasn't in the trash or anything, just sitting on the sidewalk. People put stuff like that out on the street all the time here. If I hadn't grabbed it, someone else would have picked it up within half an hour. Every time I go for a walk in my neighbourhood, I see boxes full of loot to grab. The weather has been nice and it's the end/start of the month, so there's even more stuff than usual. A couple of days ago, there was a box full of audio equipment and cables, and some sort of photo enlarging machine a few doors down. I scored a few cables that I needed and took them to my house, and when I went back out shortly afterwards, everything else was gone.
It's great. Whenever I have oddball shit I don't want, I just put it out front and next thing you know, it's gone.
If I lived in your neighborhood I would jizz all over my stuff before I put it on the curb.
I am officially done working at Gamestop and leaving for Santa FE, NM on sunday. Pretty excited to be getting back out West and working at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops.
I just made two beautiful fruit trays to incorporate into a speech I'm making tomorrow (today?) Will I bribe my instructor and class into giving me a better grade? You betcha.
glass broken by the force of your jizz.
Not even if you toss it?
To add to this week, I sold a 24x36 print to my ASM at Gamestop. Gave him a really damn good deal (100$), but nice to make the sale. Also sold a few 12x18 prints today at a small, local art show. Should cover at least have the gas I will need driving to Santa Fe.
have, half, haft, hafta
all the same
No.
It's been a hectic 3 days since I had to rush Gracie to the vet when she fainted and had a seizure, but she's doing great today. I just brought her home, gave her the new insulin, and she's pretty much back to normal - eating, purring, and...well, doing nothing. Usual day for my Gracie girl.
22 beers was a great idea. Maybe ai can make it 2 bakers dozens before I pass out.
You're disgusting.
We're coming up on 1pm here and I'm about to open my first beer of the day. It's been a long time since I drank while it was daylight out, and there really is something to be said for it.
This is the first time I've ever taken Hydrocodone when I wasn't so sick that I couldn't appreciate it.
Feels good man. Toothache abated and then some.
Come join me on my Odyssey. I'm going to lick the sky.
Our self control is what separates us from the lower creatures.
I completed my first Autocross race event yesterday. I got a qualifying time, didn't place DFL (Dead Fucking Last) out of 80 drivers who have done this before, and cut significant time off of each run I did. I also got to see some pretty awesome cars tear up the course. Definitely doing this again.
I like to get blackout drunk every few months. I become one of the most charismatic people on this side of the Atlantic. The last time this happened (February) I woke up to about 9 new friend requests on FB. Silly.
I somehow drank 13 beers last night (from 6:30pm-4:30am). I didn't even realize. It was pretty weak beer though.
It's stupid hot out, chicks are wearing fantastic outfits and my coworker is wearing this sundress that looks fucking silly on her.
I'm taking all of the sexual tension out on my wife tonight and she will love it.
13 beers in 10 hours really isn't all that much if you think about it. I once drank a gallon of beer that was at least 6% in about 5 hours. I wasn't even as drunk as I normally would've been had I drank half of that amount. Some nights you feel like a champ and some nights a 6 pack puts you under.
Takes your body about 1 hour to metabolize the alcohol from one drink (less if you're awesome? who is to say --peeing in the sink does not negate the alcohol faster, either); for every hour then, subtract one beer from what's in your system. So if you drink a six pack in an hour, you're a lot worse off than somebody drinking six beers over six hours. That dude is basically breaking even, where as you're a bit drunk.
I'm surprised if 13 Beers Brisco even got buzzed.
At my worst I drank almost a 24 in a night without being too dirty-drunk.
Brisco the lightweight confirmed.
To be fair I couldn't do that shit nowadays and come out without a horrible hangover.
My whole band does it, and they're way into it. You should try it. Why not?
I'm drunk and I'll be able to sleep at least 8 hours. This is very far from my current norm.
Drunk sleep /= Good sleep.
Sometimes it is, if I'm feeling nice and I lay down and the room feels like it's sort of spinning, I'll sleep like a baby. Any more/less and it's bad times.
I finished mastering the new Quarantines 7" and it sounds bad ass... provided you realize you have a volume knob and know how to use it. The quiet parts of the songs are quiet, and the loud parts are loud. The bass sounds like a fucking freight train. I'm pretty stoked.
Oh, I also moved a queen size bed up a narrow ass spiral staircase. Productive day.
now sell me your music.
Am I gonna have to buy this one?
Nah, they're great. We have 500 left over from the last 7"
Gonna use em up!
If all goes well, starting in August I will be paying $250/mo in rent for a wonderful shithole of a house that is about 1600 square feet, which I will be sharing with two other people. Much more spacious than the 550 square feet I am sharing with one other person right now.
I'm using the bloody mary recipe Josh posted here a while back. Tastes good.
:tu:
Man, the music scene in this city sure does rule.
I'm hoping that after utilities and internet, I'll be out less than $375 per month. Shit will rock.
This was the first real settled-in weekend in the new apartment. Had good dinner. Found a nice component-supporting SD CRT for 20 bucks at Goodwill so I can play PS2 and light gun games again. Very relaxed weekend.
Ever since the avatar changes, I read Drewbacca's, Yeller's, and Compasses posts as if they are the same person, and cannot be bothered to look at who is who.
This has made TNL more amusing for me.
can't be too bad. I don't see bars on the neighbors house.
It looks alright to me. Unless there's frequent street drug dealing and shootings, it's not really a "bad" neighborhood.
Start my new job at the Santa Fe Photographic workshops today. Really looking forward to it, and am pretty glad to be working in something I really love doing.
I don't have avatars turned on. What did I miss?
This song exists:
So appropriate.
I kept getting excited that compass was posting and then realize it was yellerdog saying something completely different.
Ha ha ha.
Is that still in Gainesville? That looks like a Gainesville place!
First day at the new job was pretty great. Really great group of people and all we do is talk photography. Well, when the workshops start there will be a lot of responsibility and long days, but at least it is dealing with photography.
To make my day even better, I found out that at least a couple of my images from when I was in the workshop last October are being used in the upcoming catalog/brochure. not sure how much I get yet, but it is at least a couple of hundred dollars.
Give it a few months and that same post will be in the What's Bugging You thread.
Grandma's funeral service was yesterday. The service itself was lovely, my kids were able to be a part of it as readers and bringing the sacraments to the priest. I'm not catholic so fuck you if I mispelled the name of the crackers and wine.
She had 7 brothers and sisters, so as you can imagine there's tons of extended family. About 70 people showed up and after the service we all went to a restaurant and people took turns telling funny stories about her and her mannerisms. It was really sweet.
I will miss her declarations of "Holy Moses!" and "Judas Priest!" whenever something struck her as being surprising, which was usually every ten minutes or so.
They're called Christitos.
Today is my 31st day without a cigarette.
:tu:
Celebrate your feat with cigarette!
Obvious joke is obvious!
Great job BRi!
Just bought myself a new pair of blue sneakers. I was tempted to buy a grey pair and a black pair with blue accents but I reigned myself in. Gotta make it through the fall / spring with no income so I can't go too off the deep end on a shopping whim.
Why the lack of income? Is your employment seasonal or are you just taking off for that time? If I remember correctly, you have/had a pretty decent job.
Yeah, what's that about, drew?
Don't you run a bunch of side businesses too?
Sabbatical?
Gave it all up to be a dog warden.
He's going back to school for digital media.
...with a minor in poverty.
that bastard, leaving a child in poverty! this is an outrage!
I made a cranberry vodka that's heavy as fuck on the vodka.
Cranberry vodka is one of the best parts about being alive.
