HA! I don't even live there, but I'll take a stab at it. it's going to be HELL on the 405
Yep. I've had an amazing year. I'm on the verge of going completely independent with my own design company, my own art distribution business and hopefully my own online blog. (idunnohow -- the one I talked about at the beginning of the year in Galleria)Quote:

Sorry to hear that shit Biff. The worst is the reaction about how he would never hurt anybody. That's a fucking cunt lie when he deliberately gets in a pick-up after slamming hard in a party. There's no excuse. He would hurt somebody by being an idiot jackass. Don't spin this any other way. Don't let her spin it any other way.
I only ever post about it in the Life is Good thread. That's where good news shit belongs. Until Dyne gets jealous and mentions it every 3 or 4 posts, apparently. Whatevs. I'm working hard and doing well. He can suck a steamer out of my ass.Quote:

If you're taking the 5 down to SD, expect it to be shit starting at about Oceanside. Give yourself at least 2 hours.Quote:

I'm guessing the power supply died on me (I hope that's all it is) and I don't have the extra money to replace it right now.
Thankfully I've got my laptop to get me by until I can get the desktop fixed.
My dad died last night. Again.

Thanks guys. I'm hanging in there. Funeral is Sunday, I get to meet my half-brother's from Bermuda, which should make an awkward situation a few magnitudes worse. At least his current wife explained it to them already.

Sister was moved from Critical Care to Intensive care, a small step...but a good one.
It looks the way I want it to look. The ear isn't damaged - it'll heal just fine. The hole used to be a 00 gauge and has shrunk down over the years to the size of the the other plug I had in last night.
NO IT HASN'T! BIFF KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT THINGS THAT HE HAS ZERO EXPERIENCE WITH!
On second thought, if he wants to put a railroad spike in his ear, go for it... What are you some kind of fucking tribal hunter or something?
And Josh, go fuck yourself loser, find something better to do with your life then follow every one of my posts with your personal viewpoint.
Unless he's sticking tribal rings in your ear when you two are cuddling at night then who cares? It's his ear. Let him do what he wants with it.

Since my 2nd DP and I cannot shoot next weekend, we both called for a postponement before those call sheets were ever sent out or called final. The director, didnt like that. So much so that she was trying to replace us. I laughed pretty hard when I heard this. I wasn't concerned or worried when my producer would later call me to tell me the shoot would NOT be postponed. So I email the professor asking WTF? Because he would NEVER approve someone else shooting it.
Sure enough he never did. He had no idea she was trying to replace me. He emailed me a copy of their email conversation, and sure enough she left the fact she was bringing SOMEONE else in to shoot it, and just let the teacher continue thinking that my 2nd DP would be there to do so.
The reason I'm not going to go is because its my cousin Louisa's wedding in Santa Barbara. My director knows this, because shes heard about it forever. Instead, she lies to the teacher in saying its my FRIENDS Cousins Wedding. That i am lying about it being family, and she thinks its reason enough to shoot without me.
This is when the professor gets pissed, and gets tough with her and pretty much staples it on her head, NO ONE is getting replaced, you CANNOT shoot without your DP, and IF you do, EVERYONE that goes along with it gets FAILED.
Suddenly, the call sheet for last saturday now chances to ALLLL day, and my entire day plans are ruined. I arrive on set to find out the DP she brought in from her photoshop class (who says hes already done film 2 and cine, and shes seen zero of his work) to replace me is there. I suddenly have this asshole looking over my shoulder looking at everything I do.
"Dont forget to do your color charts" its like, thanks asshole, I already did them shut up. "You should use some fill" well thanks asshole thats why i was already grabbing my reflector kit. On many occasions i would run into them outside, or in a corner, with her consulting him on shots and how they should be done. I had pretty much had it.
The family whos home were in is now SICK of us. Why? She made call time at 11am, and we were done shooting by 2pm, and the night stuff needed to be shot obviously at night. She brought ALLLLL of her friends whom sat there, being loud, making a mess from 3pm to 7pm. Even when they were wrapped, they still were all around the house, being loud. I told the director, if theyre wrapped, i want them out. I look at the DP she tried to replace me with who was trying to jam himself into the crammed bedroom scene and i tell him "you're wrapped, leave, you dont need to be in here." The actress was relieved i was sending people away, this is her friends house and she doesnt want to anger them any further.
I guess that replacement DP got the point, because he stopped showing up to my sets. Sunday we shot on campus, and were in and out. Not without the director still being difficult and causing everyone on set to roll their eyes. I had a good conversation with the lead actress who is also pretty sick of the director.
So now im hearing down the grapevine, that she is telling everyone she is doing ME a favor by having me shoot last weekend, and by postponing shooting this weekend. She says that if she had used the replacement DP, that I would have failed, and that she is just doing it for my sake. Clearly, the teacher had said, its EVERYONE who fails, because if they went along with the Academic Dishonesty of someone else shooting, their fucked. Hell, if it worked that way, cast and crew would have decided a new director LONG ago.
Why didn't you tell Photoshop class idiot to fuck off when he was trying to get up in your business? I mean stand up, tell him you don't need his help and to get the fuck off you in front of everyone around you.
shoulda kame hame ha'd his ass.
Oh i was. After shutting him up a few times, even the whole set in unison would say "He already did that!"Quote:

If he did that he would have nothing to complain about here.Quote:

TLDR.
Trying to set up arrangements to move into a new place. At the same time, I'm looking at getting a puppy and I knew this might create an issue with one of my roommates and the new landlord, so my other roommate and I were going to have a talk with the others about it before anything was set in stone.
My girlfriend knew this issue might but chose to mention something to the roommate that would have a problem with it anyway, which in turn led to him calling the new landlord and then me getting a call saying I couldn't get a dog. However, a talk was still scheduled so we were still going to discuss the issue anyway and see what could be done. I then told my girlfriend to stay out of this issue and not talk about it nor could she come to the talk as she doesn't live with us, doesn't pay rent, has no say in this issue and - not mentioned to her - because both her and the roommate against another dog have a problem with taking things personally and it would become a mess.
So yesterday before I got home the topic of a dog came up and, sure enough, instead of doing what I told her to do and not saying anything (or even just leaving the room) she got into an argument with the problem roommate which quickly devolved into insults and fucked up all kinds of things. When I got home she told me what happened, although I have no idea what she was expecting because she got pretty upset when my response was, "I told you this would happen, that's why I said stay out of it."
I ended up spending a few hours last night talking to both of them separately to try and patch things up and figure out what could be done. We can't move into the new place without the problem roommate, which is a much nicer house but some minor form of drama will occur with him (regardless of my g/f, it's mostly because mentally he's about half his physical age). Not sure what to do right now, but the talk with the landlord is tonight.
TLDR: Women need to fucking listen and guys need to grow up.
I thought it was women need to shut up and men need to sack up...
If your room mate doesn't want a dog around then what can you do? You might have been able to coax him in to it, and maybe you still can, but your girlfriend really poured a shit ton of salt in to a wound unnecessarily.
Also, HOLY CRAP. Yawa and Biff, my heart goes out. Nobody should be forced to deal with what either of you two are. Same goes to icarusfall.
I have a bit of a cold but it's not really worth talking about.
I knew I could and after talking with him last night he's fine with it. I knew he would resist at first but that things would be easy for me to get past as far as he's concerned (the landlord I'm still unsure of because I don't know her very well), but I really wanted to avoid the completely unnecessary bullshit of:Quote:

The dog thing was just like a top to all this that wouldn't have been an issue if she would've listened instead of trying to talk about shit that had nothing to do with her.Quote:

Dad is being transferred to the VA hospital for the rehab portion of his recovery today (supposedly - it's 3PM so I'm starting to doubt it).
This doesn't suck, but the hospital is twice as far as the one he's in now. New one's about 1hr away.
If your apt didn't specifically allow pets when you moved in I seriously doubt you'll be able to get one Mech.
The previous person living there had approximately 5-6 cats. It's just that she's frowning on having another dog there (we already own one which is being allowed) for reasons that I'm not sure of yet but likely have to do with potential house damages.Quote:

Part time dog warden has been added to the list.
I'm not kidding, Pacrappa, I have volunteered for the last 5 years and my aunt is in a leadership role for this county, go surf my old posts, I did this as a favor.
Putting pit's on the Ohio revised code was done a few years ago.
Well as long it was as a favor I see no reason to surf old posts.
No, I'm leaning the heaviest towards German Shepard (and regardless, we haven't spoken with her so she knows nothing about what I've been looking at). My friend's brother works at the APL so I'm talking to him to see what litters have been coming in, right now the ones I have my eye on are too young for adoption and are being weaned at the moment.Quote:

Then don't question me.
I think he thinks your previous comment was sarcastic and not sincere. Which, considering the nature of this board, is not an unfounded suspicion.Quote:

Nobody cares how much you do in a month, Biff. I'm sure it's a lot. I'm sure you've given mouth to mouth to a lot of dogs who were gang beaten by rival dog gangs because they fell in love with the rival dog gang leader's bitch and had a doggie affair. But nobody really gives a shit.
With Love,

That was retarded, but that's par for the course drew.

Im hoping its something silly, i dont think he is the kinda guy to drink and drive. He was REALLY stressed out when i saw him last night.
FX, I hope you guys can recover the ring.... :(

I have goggles, but no anti-fog goo, so I was wearing eyeglasses.

This is a trick I used to clear up the visor on my hockey helmet: Get some hair conditioner. Smear it around inside and outside of goggles with your fingers. Wipe clear with toilet paper. No more fog. Voila.Quote:
