Say Anything.

It is weird that 2012 is fast approaching and we are seeing all these travesties happen with that date getting closer and closer.

All bullshit aside, its sad what is happening in Japan.

And also, the NFL is locked out. Im pissed. GET A DEAL DONE FFS

I don't think it's weird at all. What would be weird is:

1.) No disasters at all
2.) 2012 getting further away instead of closer (assuming it's not 2013 or later)

I watched 2012 last week...the same the smaller earthquake in Japan happened, the 7.2 one. So yeah I finish movie, switched over to news and saw that. Freak me out much? Erm yeah! And then another in New Zealand, then the big one in Japan. Boy am I glad I don't live on the Pacific Coast anymore right now :S

So there's this guy at my work, a temp, who smells bad. He comes in reeking of pot or cigarettes or cologne, sometimes all three. Once he showed up after being out all night on a 'real bender' smelling like he took a bath in jack daniels.

Today, he brought his dog with him. To work. Are you shitting me? I mean, are you...fucking...really? A dog?

The dog also smells bad.

My head might explode. This bullshit, when so many people would love to have even a temp job...what the fuck?

"R.I.P. Nate Dogg"

Thank goodness you and 30 other people from my Facebook friends list posted this same status update, otherwise I might not know he was dead, just like I almost didn't realize Michael Jackson was dead.

...

SPEAKING OF DOG(G)S!

You should buy your co-worker's dog a treat, stick an Ex-Lax in it, and give it to him as they walk out the door, for being such a good little puppy.

I never did like Nate Dogg.

I don't really know who Nate Dog is except that his name is fun to say :X. I mean I've heard of hm but I couldn't listen to a song and be like omg that's Nate Dog!

We're not talking about a little anything - the dog is a pitbull mutt I think.

The bigger the dog the bigger the runny shit piles it will leave when you feed it the ex-lax =P

If he drives his own vehicle to work, it would be glorious retribution. As long as the dog isn't harmed by it.

it would be better if you slipped HIM an exlax...then his car will be coated in his own glorious oooze!!!!


Happy St Patricks day!

One of the headlines on msn.com today:




People STILL believe in this crap, even after the astrological restructuring by re-introducing the 13th astrological sign showed everybody how ridiculous and arbitrarily-based-on-man-made-things it was? How can a thing created by man have some universal fortune-telling, space-and-time-transcending significance? And why is it wasting space on my homepage?

(No offense to anyone who actually believes in this crap. I believe that the world was created by the Easter Bunny on July 31, 1977, and that everything that supposedly happened before then is just clever backstory to give my life more flavor... so I can't really hold anyone's belief in astrology against them)

A few articles down was this brilliant, Pulitzer Prize-winning article:




About 200 earthquakes, a tsunami, and a major nuclear crisis is hurting tourism? HOLY SHIT! I never would have already-made that assumption if... I hadn't... already made it. WOW!

Joke's on you, fuckface. The tourism industry, like all history before 31.7.1977 is just an elaborate hoax staged by astrologers to test your faith. This guy used his Pulitzer powers to totally own you, and I am over here laughing about it. Ha ha ha!

*toilet bowl growl* jokes on you fuckface *toilet bowl growl*

*&^$&^%(^&% Poser GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Woke up at 1 and noticed the door had blown open and 3 out of 4 cats were gone so I'm up til 2 am roaming the neighborhood looking for these bad cats! I only found 1 of them...but when Erik got up for work at 4:30 one of them was in front of the house chasing a leaf in the road. The other one came out of hiding when I bought a jingly ball out to coax her to me. What pains in my ass!

I would've been like, 'Oh , the cats are out."

/close door
/crawl into bed

/snort

LOL! I wish but Kami loves these stupid things. She got out of bed when she heard me up and wouldn't go back til I found them but after an hour I told her to go to bed.

I feel old. A bunch of people from my department have been playing basketball on Wednesdays so I've been joining them. It's always been my worst sport haha. Anyway, when I was in Montana I hurt my knee on a really simple hike - it's a very small spot on the outside of my left knee. I actually forget it's a problem because it's like there is a threshold I have to pass before it's a problem. I can do almost any normal hike, however, if the hike is straight up or down hill for an extended length of time this little spot right to the left of my kneecap on the side will "lock up" and become extremely painful. Once I pass that threshold I can't go up or down stairs for a few days. I'm afraid I'll need surgery because this has been a few years now. The first time we played basketball we played for like 3 straight hours - most of it full court. The next day that spot locked up.

This Wed we played again, so I took it a little easier - rotated out a few games. Woke up and now my RIGHT knee - which hasn't been a problem - is jacked up. I get sharp pain right under theh kneecap when I bend it - it's making it hard to sleep/walk stairs/drive. It's not excrutiating, but just painful enough to be worrisome. Now it's swollen. WTF.

I need to get this fixed before I start doing my field work, which is another exciting story. I had originally picked a project in Japan, but then after the last conference I started waivering towards an already funded project in South America. About 2 weeks before this massive quake I chose South America. So it looks like I picked the right one, but that means rugged backcountry hiking at extreme elevation - and I can't even get through a basketball game lol.

The longer you wait, the worse it's going to be.* Also, walking around with your knees damaged like that is just going to make them worse.** You should go get that shit checked out. Like, today.




* I made this up
** I made this up, too

The right knee might be inflamed from you compensating for the left knee.

I hope you can get it sorted before your field work! Definitely wrap a cold pack to the right knee with a bandage for the swelling.

In my experience, doctors want to do everything they can to avoid surgery or physical therapy, because those two things are expensive, so it seems like you have to do your time in less effective treatments (or expensive only to you treatments) before they'll willingly direct you to the next phase. My knee has been fucked up for like four years because I got discouraged and didn't keep on the doctors to fix the damn thing :X.

<----bad example!

Also, don't we both have the thing were our hips are crooked and one leg ends up longer than the other?

<----hips don't lie. flat.
