I've got no cerebellum.
lobotomy?
I'm going to have to tell them that.
Slugs and snails imo.
I really need a new job. Retail sucks, middle management in retail should be a layer of hell.
Worked the past seven nights, 10-12 hours apiece, no break on five of those. Can't see doing this shit still five years from now.
Still need to buy a USB keyboard to replace the Ergonomic one I borrowed to test with. Hate Ergonomic keyboards.
Pair of movies arrived from an Amazon zShop. Listed the films under Unrated when they are the edited Rated-R cuts. Dick move. Especially when the R logo is huge on the back cover and they were charging the uncut premium prices. After several emails, I get to send them back, but I'm still annoyed with the hassle of repacking/paying to return them.
Younger brother is being a little bitch again. Something is up at his job, but he'd rather be a pissy little bitch storming around and slamming things rather then talk. Fine. Whatever. I'm not bailing your ass out if you do something stupid again.
Today my saliva looks like gravy.
I farted and it's really really bad (beer and hot wings style) and I'm due to have somebody come in for a meeting in about 1 minute. Guess we'll be moving it to a conference room.
I always fart in the hallway.
Some fucker stole my CC information and made a few small purchases online. Thank god I caught it early, I bet he is prepping to make a huge purchase soon.
Mail order bride.
Coincidentally your wife
I stayed up until five preparing for today. I needed to wake up at six. I just woke up.
Rough.
It was alright. A missed quiz in a class I'm going to probably drop anyway and a parking ticket.
Work farts, in my experience, always smell a hell of a lot worse than Home farts.Quote:

My dog had a stroke this afternoon. She is currently in the living room in her favorite spot having semi-frequent 'spasm' movements. Me and my mom carried her outside a couple hours after it happened in a blanket, and brought her back in an hour and a half or so later to put her where she is now. Besides the little spasms and turning herself around with her front legs (because her back ones don't seem to be working anymore, there's a large growth of what we can assume is cancer back there that went completely unnoticed for a while), she hasn't moved in the past 5 hours. When I came home from visiting with a friend she seemed to know I was there and raised her head and I pet her and told her how much I love her. She would be 18 years old this November. I've known this dog longer than I've known any of my best friends. My parents decided that if she doesn't pass away in her sleep tonight, they're going to take her to the vet tomorrow for, well the obvious. Her name is Emily. She was the sweetest, stupidest dog you'd ever meet. I don't have any of the old pictures of her when she was young on the computer, so the only one I have is from Xmas day last year.
I'm seriously going to miss this dog.
edit: not the picture I wanted to post, apparently that one is in the pets thread. sitting where she always does between me and my brother getting lost in the wrapping paper and loving it.
Really sorry to hear that. Wow, though, 18 years is old. She must have had a great life and been well cared for.
No strip clubs here.Quote:

My dog had a similar ending... although the second stroke did him in (13 years old). Sorry for the loss Pineapple... 18 years is a good run.
Damn Pineapple. Sorry to hear that. I've been down that road before when I had to put my dog down, so I feel your pain.
:( Sorry to hear.Quote:

My vodka is running low.
My dog went the same way Pineapple; had a stroke and her hind legs would no longer function. It's sad seeing them like that... so helpless with that look in their eyes. We had to put her down too. :cry: I'm sorry.
Im sorry rated e :'( :portalhug:
filming for our film 2 shoot starts this week with a test shoot, and my producer and director and AD are all trying to talk me out of renting the equipment i want, pressuring me to use the schools equipment. The thing is, is i am entitled and given $3,000 to rent my equipment by the school, and that money can go NOWHERE else but to MY rentals, so its pissing me off that the crew is trying to talk me out of spending money thats all mine, and if not used, its all back to the school. I wanted to rent the Aaton A-Minima (a super tiny super-16mm camera), but everyone wants to talk me out of it.
On top of it all, hypocrisy invades the group, my director decided the week she was supposed to do proper casting calls and auditions, she would decide NOT to. Why? It was her friends wedding that weekend. However, its my cousins big wedding in 3 weeks, but i ABSOLUTELY cannot go, because "we cannot break schedule."
So were given all this money buy the school to rent equipment, to get good locations, to make an overall high production value film right? Instead of my director doing proper casting calls, SHE IS JUST HANDING PARTS TO HER FRIENDS! Honestly, with now just having random people acting, i kinda feel the entire production is a waste. With this money, the dedicated crew, ect, thats where flocks of actors looking for exposure, looking for work for their portfolio would flock to be in this, but no, cause her friend is cute shes gonna be in it.
Our producer cant even do his number rights, he says the insurance on my lens alone is $600, which really, that should be the insurance for the whole production.
I also have learned now 2 cameras, the Eclair NPR and the Arriflex SR2. Both Super-16mm cameras, both with completely different, and in their own way annoying mags. Louise, the director, got angry at me because i asked for a walkthrough to loading the mags, to which she shoved the pole up her ass further in and barked saying "just pretend its hair and stick it in."
I can GUARANTEE that I'll report back on sunday with news shes pissed at me cause she cant load either camera.
lol, women.
A) What is the rationale behind not wanting the equipment? If it's a technical reason from someone who knows more than you then take it. If they just want to be stingy for no reason then fuck them and tell them what you just said. It's the money allotted so you can have the equipment you want to get the job done the way you need it to be.
B) Tell your friend to get her act together. Go to the wedding, but make up the time by pre-planning a proper casting call in the days following to get back on track. Women aren't going to pass up weddings for school projects. It's easier for men because we don't like going to wedding in the fucking first place. Any excuse to get out is welcome.
Basically if you're the director or in charge you need to learn how to put your foot down hard enough people will listen and reasonably enough so that they don't get discouraged and fuck off. Since they're already starting to fuck off on their work (by hiring their friends instead of professionals) then set them straight. If their friends want to be in the movie sign them up for the casting call to give them a shot.
not technical reasons whatsoever. The reasons i want them? The Aaton A-Minima S16mm is tiny, and much easier to do the elevator scenes, and the car scenes with it, the Eclair is huge. On top of that, there are 2 groups shooting, and we only have 1 Eclair, which is going to lead to huge scheduling conflicts between both groups if we have to share. If my producer cant get his numbers right, then i cant get my equipment. His numbers are TOTALLY wrong, because if our budget suddenly cant afford to rent a $15,000 lens, how is anyone going to be renting $35-75,000 cameras?Quote:

Our test shoot is already limited to only 3 hours because the actress has work. There i already see a problem, because i very much doubt she will really dedicate her time to the film and open her schedule, and im not going to be very happy having my shooting schedule revolve around some actress' weekend shifts at starbucks. I feel its a waste now. The wedding is for my cousin Louisa, who ive become closer too lately, who i helped wedding wine shopping, and its a trip that weve planned for months with my family because its in santa barbara.Quote:

Im not the director, im the director of photography. Im not allowed to step on their jobs, but shes acting like a really big bitch lately, talking down to me, and acting like i dont know what im talking about and dont already know what needs to be done. She acts like a victim and literally she sometimes has no manners whatsoever (belching LOUDLY during class when were trying to have discussions and get things done, even the teacher made a joke about it when she did it, he ended his sentence right after with "and instead louise would just belch and the camera and continue to irritate us all.") Tomorrow is going to test us all for test shoots, and Im literally going to blow up on her if she gives me a lot of attitude. No ones got their shit straight, i cant step on other peoples jobs, and even if i could i would seem like a megalomaniac.Quote:

I hate everything.
I just woke up angry today. I don't know whats causing it, but whatever the fuck it is can fuck off.
I woke up feeling very depressed today and the feeling is only growing stronger as the day wears on. Don't want to go to work, but I needs teh moneys.
Fuck Mild Depression.
Just let it go. You said yourself that your instructor made it clear you were not to interfere with each others' roles. You won't have to work in situations like this your entire life, trust me. Just do your job to the best of your ability and don't lose any sleep over it. Getting all emotional and blowing up on someone on your team is just going to make the set and post production that much more bitter and unproductive, and will quite honestly make you look just as stupid as the person you are blowing up on, regardless of whether they deserve it or not.Quote:

Just keep it all in perspective man...it's a school project, not a feature film. Worry about you and your grade.
fucking shop ordered the wrong fucking tuning pegs.
took like a month.
fuck.
Jackson sliced his do-claw pad up really, really badly today running in the woods, and he's at the hospital. They might have to slice some bits off of him but at the very least he's getting stitches.
EDIT: He's home, he's ok. His foot is in a big bandage and he's really out of it, so he's sleeping. Poor guy.
Poor Jackson! :(
Group meetings b.s. I gave up talking to one of the four during the first group meeting who was convinced she was right and the rest of us were wrong. Bitch, your data is from 2006. This is Sept 2008 and my oldest article/research data is from April of this year. Accept that you may be a stupid ho trying to quote data from 2+ years ago and completely non-relevant to what the company is doing today.
She, I swear to god, tried to argue for 10 mins that Starbucks is a chain of 1500 stores around the world. Since when!? I bring up articles from the Financial Times and a Korean-based newspaper pointing out their holdings of over 15,000+ stores, but she wouldn't hear of it. Even Starbuck's own website wouldn't convince her because her data also came from Starbucks.com. I gave up, she's too stupid to argue with. I killed time reading CNN Politics and researching Starbucks' joint venture holdings in Russia until she left thinking she had beaten all of us on every issue. WE'RE YOUR GOD DAMN GROUP, DUMBASS!
The second group meeting (myself and one other are in both so at least one person was already there to start) afterwards started and stopped just as fast. I presented my part of the paper, she presented her slides, and we waiting 40mins for the next member to show up who lives across the street. It takes 5mins to ride your bike to campus, what were you doing for the other 35? Where the hell is the fourth member? I gave up sleeping in for this shit!?
i have a chicago song stuck in my head.

Thing about the cover version I had in my head is that there are 3 false starts because they can't not laugh and I had those in my head too.
it's more than a feeling.
What's the problem there?
edit: man, that dude could sing.
no, I was right.
When I woke up, my skin felt really dry and my lips were chapped. YHELO there fall.
busted my lip, am on day 3 of a migraine headache, nausea, light/sound sensitivity and lack of balance are all in full swing and worst of all my g/f is worried and wants me to goto an emergency room. I just want to lock myself in a dark closet with comfy linens until it stops.
Headache meds helps the pain but none of the others and make the nausea worse because my stomach hates pills.
Oh and I've been putting off reading this law stuff until now. Because i couldn't maintain a train of thought.
I also just was denied a scholarship, not on the merits but because the other person was graduating before me. That is the SOLE reason straight from the judge's mouth.
stupid ending to gaogaigar Final. What a freaking downer to go to bed with
I've been put on a rock and roll combination of medications and I can barely function. I'm at work... I already told one of the professors to "fucking calm down, dude" and it took me 15 minutes to walk up the stairs to the third floor.
Today is going to be a tough one.
If you go to an urgent care facility they can give you a sumatriptan injection, those are pretty damn effective at killing migraines, but if it's been 3 days you shouldn't have much longer. I'm sorry, migraines are the absolute pits, and the scholarship trouble can't help much.Quote:

Then, I got the two coffees and I'm putting the lid on one of them, and I guess it wasn't on all the way. So when I picked it up, the coffee spilled all over the counter.
And then this snobby lady behind me goes, "Ugh. How did you do that?" And she said it in a totally snobby way and it got me more worked up than it should have. So I finally got the coffees and walk back to my store and took a sip of my vanilla mocha and it's like soy or something and is totally gross. But I'm not going to walk back over there and get another one after I already spilled the first and they replaced it without charging me.
I felt like crying, which I know is an overreaction, but it's just not a good way to start my morning. I've gotta have my coffee man.
wtf? Sounds like they did your fancy pants husband a favor.Quote:

Start taking 1000mg of vitamin c every hour. You'll blow the sickness right out your asshole.
I'm serious.
That is a huge asshole, you don't know what you could be doing to this world with such a suggestion
This is totally accurate. When you feel a cold coming on absorb as much Vitamin C as possible. Drink so much OJ people will start calling you Orenthal James.Quote:

The way this has unfolded it makes you wonder if any doctor knows wtf they are doing. She's due to go to Boston on Thursday for surgery with one of the top brain surgeons in the country. I can only hope she gets through this okay. I feel terrible, this couldn't happen to a nicer person.
I hope your aunt turns out okay, Rumpy. Spend as much time with her as you can, anyway.
