Woke up after sleeping something like 4 hours because I worked late.

Remarked how fresh I felt despite this.

Got out of bed even though there was no logical reason.

Took medication with names out of cyberpunk novels that cost too much with a warm bottle of nutrient gruel.

Decided to be an unprofessional asshole and not shave or wear closed toe shoes because it's a deadline day and I can get away with shit like that.

Swapped a Richard Strauss album out of the CD player for a TSOL one.

Ate dinner for breakfast / brunch.

Went to work on books for a company whose owner I consider the most offensive member of the bourgeoisie who's ever paid me.

Rolled my eyes out of my head at the moronic tactics the shit eating members of the American proletariat at this company engage in to avoid paying tax, then reminded myself that the tax code already hands these cretins a variety things they'll never work their way out of needing or adjusting their lifestyles to no longer need.

Spoiled a miniature schnauzer with affection. :3

Wrote a vapid day in the life of Karakand Denisovich post.

Wondered why people thought I went to coffee shops regularly enough to be stereotyped as going to them regularly.

Was smoking in a parking garage owned by the city that I only park in because it's free on Sundays even though it had a sign posted not 15 feet away saying no smoking allowed because it seemed to me the least offensive place to smoke in public. A security guard rode by on a bicycle during this and gave me the stink eye as I was smoking not 15 feet away from a no smoking sign but the only emotion I felt was mild amusement that the guard was riding on Trek's specialty model for police officers (http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/sport/police/police/), a rent-a-cop riding one of these being so utterly predictable that it hurts.

I have a thing for one of the servers at my Sunday hang (she's alt QT as fvck) and I had drunk a little too much when she informed me that they were now out of one of the liquors that made up my cocktail, but if I wanted I could replace it with either rosé or PBR at no extra charge which elicited a huge cornball grin from me and the response, "Wow... that's quite the dichotomy." :snoop

It's probably not worth telling the story, but raison d'être is a phrase even I was raised to think pretentious. Since my parents called my friends agents provocateur, I have subsequently hypothesized that this phrase was some KGB codeword they didn't want me to use by mistake and draw the attention of our handler(s?). Occam's razor and all that.

The Bandits effectively ceased to exist on August 4, 1986--the same day that the league suspended operations--when former player Bret Clark won a $159,980 lien against the team. He'd won an arbitration case for back pay in March. While the decision was reaffirmed in May, the Bandits did not have the funds available. A federal judge ordered that the franchise's remaining assets - including everything from weight-lifting equipment to office furniture to memorabilia from the team store - be confiscated to pay the debt.[11][12]

George Townsend, a Tampa Bay Bandits fan who was the winner of a million dollar giveaway in 1985 is rumoured to have never seen a check. The giveaway was an annuity which was $50.000 a year for 20 years starting in 20 years, which meant Townsend wouldn't have been paid until 2005.

Tuned out a co-worked and sighed internally as he talked about his baby for like 30 fucking minutes.

I had a guy like that at one office. I developed a technique where I'd get a glass of water while he talked, but then instead of walking back to my desk, I'd walk to his. He never noticed that I'd delivered him back home before returning to work at my desk in peace.

I've noticed that grief brings out the worst in some people. My wife's aunt went off the deep end after a few deaths in the family. Of course, there's also the possibility that they're were just terrible people and grief has nothing to do with it in this case.

Nah she's a shitty person. After my grandma's funeral the entire immediate family decided to go to dinner. My aunt declined and left with her (adopted) kids. Later that night after dinner we went back to my grandma's retirement home, just to pick up some things and say goodbye again to her friends. When we walked into her place it had been ransacked. Turns out my aunt had come by to raid my grandma's church dresses and furs, which my grandma had wanted to be given to specific people (such as my mom and another aunt). My mom burst out crying when she saw the scene; clothes were thrown around, drawers were taken out, etc.

BTW the item my grandma left me - a picture book of old pictures of her - was still there. So my aunt didn't give a fuck about taking it then, but wants it now. Hell no.

Runner up from yesterday: met someone in person who I've known professionally for a long time but I didn't realize it was them at the time because I always address them as Mr. / Ms. So-and-so in emails and everyone called them by their first name (which I knew) and I didn't make the connection. They were interested in meeting me but since I thought I didn't know them my response to the interest was my patented alienating aloofness.

Be such a creature of ceremony that you literally don't associate people with their names, y'all.

Her: Thanks.
Me: So my general strategy is to have a complement in the first sentence followed by something pervy in the second one.  By acknowledging the first and ignoring the second you are basically doing to me what President Kennedy did to Khrushchev during the Cuban missile crisis.  Well played.

Did you last long, Arvie? I found that my first few times weren't a challenge in terms of not busting early. You can laugh at porn but I think it gave me a certain endurance. Looking back, I am reminded of my days as a youth basketball player. Our coach would make us use a special basketball that was heavier than a regular one, and he'd have us practice shooting three point shots. After shooting with it for ten minutes or so we'd switch back to the regular balls, and realized we could now easily hit the rim. Likewise the grip of my hand prepared me for pussy - nay, it over prepared me for pussy. I realized that most chicks weren't nearly as tight as my hand.

Daps to you Arvie.

Wrong thread.

And while we're wrong-threading it up, I will admit the least Vularai thing I've done was spent a lot of time listening to people on a podcast pronounce Longinus as "Long-jhai-ness" and fretting that it should be "lawn-ghee-noose" but it turned out according to thirty-seconds-of-google that they were correct.

correct.  Latin doesn't have the 'j' sound line in our judge or Julius.

And if he hosted his own bike race where he is the only contestant, which he essentially does already, and takes picture while doing so, he could upload photos of his Vulprix to his Vulpix account.

Upon seeing an article on MSN titled something like "The Reassuring Thing About Cancer" I immediately thought to myself, "That it'll kill me," and closed the tab without actually reading the article.

I was working on an audit with a lawyer recently and yeah... I've never encountered someone who straight up refused to provide anything requested by the IRS in an information document request before.

Glad this was one of the many things I've worked on where my name is recorded in no official capacity, and my identity is hidden behind privilege.

What's the AIAiest thing you did today? you ask?

At the grocery store today there were two alcoholic or druggie women behind me talking about recovery and how she had to march into her pastors office to beg for help because no one else was helping her.  And, over hearing this, I felt bad for her until she reached out to touch my grapes and started talking about how she buys them cheap on Spidina and in my mind I'm like 'Bitch hands off the grapes'.  Basically I was sympathetic to her until she actually affected my life in some small way.

This was yesterday, but when people were spamming pictures of for-profit prison securities dropping small dollar amounts after the feds announced that sometime soon like 12 for-profit prisons might stop housing some types of federal inmates (sorry immigration detainees, you still get to experience 2 capitalist 2 furious) because this is what passes for hardcore leftism in 2016, I was more interested in the fact that one of the companies was organized as a REIT and went on to research why this was done for 30-45 minutes.

Is it only certain types of prisoner? I thought it was moving away from the for-profit prisons entirely, over the next five years.

I saw the word of the day today (http://www.dictionary.com/wordoftheday/2017/02/19/fress) on Dictionary.com and thought to myself, "Hey, I wonder if that derives from fressen, a German word I only know because it was part of a dumb pun in German from my childhood that my parents would use to scold me when I was eating in a particular manner even though--to my knowledge--none of us were germanophones," and that was the derivation of the word.

reminds me of " žrať" in slovak, which is a rude way of saying you're eating a lot or devouring

Makes for a very snappy noun. One of those words which actually does sound stereotypically German.

life of galileo

Couldn’t help pulling a :snob* apropos of two things:

1) We’ve been living in a post-soviet world for so long that, even for the sexagenarians, it’s difficult to comport yourself to certain themes that were intended to resonate in a political atmosphere where ‘leftism’ or  whatever didn’t ultimately reduce to social progressivism and market regulations. For the early boomers sitting in front of me, leafing through the pamphlet and going “oh, he was a socialist”, speaking truth to power -what I have to imagine was the whole reason they put this one on the bill this season- is probably only understood relative to the Trump presidency and the media climate that gestated it. There’s a really smarmy repose that gets produced in a certain type of liberal where they can honestly commit themselves to the proposition that “history has a liberal bias” and all that’s needed is for the wheels on knowledge-production to keep on churning and eventually mans fetters will naturally slough off of him -his moral enlightenment following lockstep with an increase in technical knowledge. Rather than Galileo’s hubris leading to the initial divorcing of technics from it’s embedded normative framework, his telescope being just a few steps removed from the atom bomb. So the call at the end to guard Science! (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nMWGXt979yg) sounds like it’s being played 100% straight rather than ironically/hollowly.

2) the anticlericalism also sounds like it’s super straightforward. The effete scholastics come across like run of the mill superstitious obscurantists (with more than a little secret society malevolence). Galileo’s assurance that his telescope is in accord with Christian doctrine, or however he phrases it, is supposed to come across as comical to a modern audience, underlining again just how far we’ve come.

*i know this is shitty, but it was a Brecht play, fuck you
