Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.

Yet another chapter in the mystery novel called "Where the Fuck's My Timing?"
I guess I should be glad since this means she hasn't completely booted me out of her mind. I'm just not so enthused about having to yet again turn down a girl's request to come see her this weekend. So glad classes end in less than 2 weeks.

in other news....
the next time i volunteer to cover for someone while htey are out of town, i will smack myself. hard. assuming someone doesn't do it for me.
my best friend had to go home this week to see his dad (who just got out of the hospital, has myriad other health issues and lives alone). his wife had to stay home because of work. her birthday is tomorrow. since i love them both to death, i offered to hang with her and spend tomorrow evening with her at work (she's a waitress and gets HUGE tips on her birthday). he was ll for this - she was all for this. within a week of that plan, things started shifting on me....
a week ago, her bosses (who are married) decide they want to take her out to dinner before work since her husband is out of town. she tells them I'll be with her - they say no prob, we'll take you both. this morning she tells me that somewhere along the line, they decided (along with some other friends) to not only take her out to dinner, but have made arrangements to take her to a comedy club and have her shift covered until she arrives with them later in the evening. she tells them, well i already have plans (keep in mind, she found this out by accident - they were going to surprise her tomorrow night.) they tell her it's up to her, but that i am not invited to the comedy club I can just meet her there. WTF??? how fucking rude is that? they are so taking advantage of her (again. they know she's the type that will kill herself trying to make everyone happy).
the twist to this, is that her husband IS going to be there. he's been keeping in touch with me all week since he's out in the middle of nowhere with no access to internet or local weather and is on his motorcycle. the weather in the SE has been weird all week and he is concerned about getting back in one piece. we had everyone set up so that he's arrive at the club about an hour after we get there - and this change has completely blown that out of the water. So now he's going to be there an hour before she is. which is going to pis off the people that were trying to take care of her since he couldn't be there.
if i live through tomorrow night it will be a miracle. after she figures out i was in on this from the get-go, she's gonna hurt me. bad.
oy. how could something so fricking simple turn into such a clusterfuck????

I bet my dad asked the same question when the rubber broke back in 79.
So today's Monday. My philosophy course has a 5-10 page paper due today at 5pm. It's a group project. Find your own groups. Fine, that was a huge pain in the ass with people posting messages on the class boards about groups, then never following through. This past week, I finally got a group. Come Thursday, one member had close to three pages of work. She reminded us of the deadline, so I got my ass in gear and burned through two pages. The third member requested that we let him write about a couple of specific philosophers for his share. Cool, we had a plan. Friday night, I passed my work to the girl in charge of compiling it into one paper.
Sunday at 11pm, she still hadn't received any word back from the third member of our group. I just spent a couple of hours trying to stretch our paper. Our combined work had pegged us at under 5 pages and no conclusion. So now we've got 5 pages and a few lines. I'm not happy. It's rougly 1am. I've been trying to get this Nietzsche paper worked on. In the event this guy doesn't get anything to her on time, he's not getting his name on the paper. Shame. He really seems articulate.
Still have this paper, two more for the coming week, 30 documents to read and analyze for history, and two finals. All this week.

Just got a sick feeling in my stomach. The assignment was given as 5-10 pages. I was going through the discussion board, and someone was hunting for a group last week because time is running out. I never saw that post until just now.
The teacher said, "Do it on your own, go 5 pages and not the 7 with all other requirements, thanks"
Wait, what? He never stated 7 pages was the conditional minimum for a group. He said 5-10, period. My group, which apparently is only two people now, has just barely over 5 pages.
FUCK.

Wish I knew that one so I could hunt them down and cause much pain. Sitting here freezing my ass off, again, today.... when it was shorts weather just the other day. I can't keep up. You pack the winter crap and all of a sudden it's freezing. Trying to pack and reduce stuff is going to drive me nuts. Every time I make a good dent.....I have to turn right back around and Unpack it all! I'm so short on patience with the weather it's not funny anymore.
We're supposed to be moving otherwise I wouldn't be trying to get things taken down or packed up.

It's too early in the morning for me to feel like killing massive amounts of people! Stupid effing gas company didn't bill us for 3 MONTHS and then they suddenly decide to bill us $700. I have had the heat OFF for the last 2 months. This is the second time they've done this. I have half a mind to call them up and ask them to come check for a gas leak because there is just no possible fucking way that bill is correct. Cocksuckers.

There are some things you don't want to see in material you're supposed to report on in the final days of the semester.
:eh
He is concerned here with something else, something more comprehensive and, therefore, incomprehensible.
The "question of being" is not about this or that being, not, say, why are there roses, but why, especially, is there Being, what does it mean to be us, to be human, to be you and me -- to be Dasein.
Dasein is an entity which does not just occur among other entities. Rather it is ontically distinguished by the fact that, in its very Being, that Being is an issue for it. But in that case, this is a constitutive state of Dasein's Being, and this implies that Dasein, in its Being, has a relationship towards that Being -- a relationship which Dasein understands itself in its Being, and that to some degree it does so explicitly. It is peculiar to this entity that with and through its Being, this Being is disclosed to it. Understanding of Being is itself a definite characteristic of Dasein's Being. Dasein is ontically distinctive in that it is ontological.

I'm down below 125lbs. right now, and that's not cool. A lot of it is probably the lack of appetite from just focusing my head on more essays in the past 8 weeks than I wrote in the 3 1/2 years I previously spent in college.
So I'm making a deliberate attempt to build up my eating habits again, particularly in the form of protein since most of my food has been empty carbs and I'm wasting away. Well, all this meat is doing weird things. I'll leave it at that.

Darsa -- yipes! I am so sorry =((
remind me to check any markets for similar named products next time. Literally spent half the day yesterday redoing files to rename Fallon. Poser was possessed so I ended up doing it all by hand. I thought about going back and redoing morph work to be more extreme but just couldn't bring myself to it. There wasn't anything wrong with her....she just wasn't standing out enough, said review. That's not going to be a problem with my next one though.
I swear my life right now is almost laughable at how much stuff can go wrong at once. Hopefully the little black cloud will start to go away soon. Don't think my daughter is ever going to ask if she can help again lol I was checking homework for everyone and she started pestering me to help out. After the "You treat me like a baby" card got played I showed her how to "find" and then replace.... she now only wants to help me "color stuff" rofl. Told her it wasn't all fun sometimes =)

Tremendously odd day so far.
Get home from my girlfriend's shortly before 1am, and one of the household wild bunnies is sitting on the lawn next to my spot. He watches as I get out of the car, not even batting an ear.
Said girlfriend hasn't responded to any of my text messages in almost four hours - strange, to be sure, but LogicalDen posited her phone could be off, dead, or ignored.
Found out my brother has NEVER EVER SEEN a SINGLE LOLCAT. I told him to rectify that PDQ.
Eating lunch, someone just came up to my desk, "Mike I thought you couldn't eat sauerkraut" and I said "I can't, I'm eating chinese food." "oh it smells like sauerkraut".
And I also found out that a kid - young man now - who I was in Boy Scouts with for a good ten years is now a suspected murderer.
