The kiddo is staying with his grandpa this weekend.  I was supposed to go to a wedding, but I said "fuck it" and went to a bar instead.  Came home, looked at the cat, the cat looked back at me and meowed, and I replied, "I'm drunk, cat."

Good night.

[fistfulofmetal]

guys
i have a car

[Groogrux]

Geez.... I didn't even have that many.  Why does my head feel this way?  Fuck getting old.

I'm planning on accepting the UofT offer,  I haven't heard from a few schools yet and some have accepted me but haven't told me how much funding will be.  Anyways I'm very excited, when I started applying I assumed Alberta would be were I was going to end up. 

I think I got into all the Canadian schools I applied to besides UBC, and none of the U.S. schools, which was kind of expected. 

Toronto come September then!

I'll probably be heading back to the TO area in May.

I propose an incredibly socially awkward pub night when FM gets here then.

My cool and confident online persona may have fooled you into thinking that I am only a bit socially awkward.   I assure you this is not the case.  More than 15 minutes with in three meters of me and the pain of the awkwardness will start showing physical symptoms.  Experts have compared it to radiation poisoning (F.M. Sacks, 2001,The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 344 No. 1). 


Also I haven't been to a pub since I was 17.

[Barry Egan]

you have universal health care and you are going to be living in an amazing city for at least a few years.  If you do not walk in to a clinic and demand a shit ton of social anxiety meds so that you can make the most of your time then you don't deserve Canada.

[Madrun Badrun]

That's the plan.

In other news I have to present my linguistic honours project, which is complete balls, in front of a humanities and social science uni workshop.  Apparently entire classes are being pressganged into coming to this thing.  I'm terrified.

Only twice.  I guess three times now.

That's the kicker to it!  I didn't get drunk at all!  I had three beers and went home with a slight buzz.  I can drink one of the motherfuckers nowadays and get the same effect though.

I can attest to this strange phenomena as well. As a large man who used to drink like crazy in my early days it would take me a good 4-5 beers to get to the zone. And I could easily drink another 5-6 drinks on top of that. But now as someone who is a casual drinker, I can get drunk off 1/2 of a good beer. I'm now a cheap date!


I don't even finish most of the beers I even open nowadays. Talk about crazy right?

[Groogrux]

I didn't start getting constant hangovers until this past year.  Now, every time I have a drink I've got a headache for the next day.

Went to Richmond, VA to see my sister yesterday. I think I'm going to relocate there.

i lived in Richmond for years in my 20s.  it was pretty coo, but ultimately not for me; like a psychopath, i crave the stimulus of the big city, which Richmond ultimately didn't offer

[The Sceneman]

I'm in the foulest mood imaginable and no idea how to get out of it

[Rufus]

How about some kittens?

[The Sceneman]

Ah I'm just lying down now and feelin a little better. Had a shitty night last night and was hoping to chill out with some Xbox but the fucker is hard freezing every 10 minutes which exacerbated my bad mood. Gonna try playing some DS games or something

Any time I was in Richmond, I didn't really care for it.  Maybe I just saw the rough parts of town, though.

Richmond in CA is the worst though.

[G The Resurrected]

Richmond in CA is the worst though.

Dont even talk about that place its so backwards. I got a ticket for turning on a red there a few years back. No where from the freeway off-ramp to where I was stopped had any signs saying I couldn't turn. I was just supposed to know that shit since I was in Richmond that's how they roll. I didn't have a license at the time and the cop was giving me a hard time. But I played the "I'm learning how to drive, please don't give me a ticket or tow my shit card"

I left with a verbal warning and since then I've never been back!

Now I sure as hell love Emeryville though. I went to look at some of the new loft's they are opening up in the old industrial part of town. The old buildings have so much character and the lofts are nice. Just not 600k nice ya know. I'd love to live there though!

Berkeley is nice too, my mom's bff lives there in the hills and own's a high end cosmetic dentistry business. Last time I went up there it was so nice you could see all the way to the southbay from his rooftop porch. I asked him how much a view like that was and I about damn near fell off the roof. I love going to his parties cause he's got his own little private wine label, so whenever there's a party we take home a few bottles of wine from his Sonoma property.

As for Random talk:

I'm writing a paper on Robotic telepresence networks and how they function and work. It's a 15 page paper but I'm writing just about everything I can into this paper and I'm only getting 6 pages or so after editing. I really wanted to hold off on writing this paper till near final's for my finals project. Where I can go on and elaborate on other subjects related and not just limited to the network aspect.

Did you know that their are robotic medical gurney by Toyota that can cut down on medical staff's need to get patients from their rooms to bring them to the OR or specialty labs? The only problem is they aren't linked properly into a central system that brings in all information from patient stat's to efficiently tasking the gurney's trips. So there again humans have not solved even the most basic of problems. Seems we're not too far away from a huge leap in robotic medical technology though.

My dad owned apartments in Richmond and the cops pulled him over and keep insinuating he was a drug dealer in the ghetto. He let them search his vehicle just to see them eat crow.

Seems like the police won--they got to perform a search without probable cause.

  Malek, Boogie you guys lived at home when you went to undergrad right?

[Flannel Boy]

No, I went to a party school in Quebec. Pretty sure it's a no for Boogie because he grew up in some small town in Ontario.

[Boogie]

  Malek, Boogie you guys lived at home when you went to undergrad right?

Nooo, malek's got it right.  I grew up in a dinky farming town two hours from Toronto.

A female malek visited my okcupid profile:

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

I'm diagnosed with clinical depression, anxiety, and insomnia, and I take medication for these things

You should message me if
 ...you don't describe yourself as 'easy-going' or 'laid-back' or that you 'don't take life too seriously'

Fuck easy going people.

spotted an amazing pair of vintage Adidas shoes at the thrift store and the girl at the register literally refused to sell them to me at the price listed. She said she had to send it back to get re-priced.   super steamed.  They were a perfect fit too.

You don't understand this because dogs, probably owned by white people, growl or bark at you all the time.

Dogs hate black people, for the most part. Michael Vick didn't help with relations

Decided to just add the urban planning girl on Facebook. She accepts, I click her profile,and the first thing I see is In a Relationship with _________. Fuck this straight earth. I am going to need to join the theater club or some bullshit to meet a single girl at this school.

Do it, theater people are awesome.

They're more friendly than most white people. I love my dogs more than most people, because most people I know are assholes.

Why are white people so standoffish? Are we all just THAT awkward, all of us? If you're in public or at work or where ever, white people just do their thing, pretending the rest of the world doesn't exist. But most black people will talk to anybody.

You put two white co-workers in the breakroom together and, unless they know each other rather well, there is silence while they're microwaving their lean cuisines. But you add one black person, and suddenly there's a conversation. Fucking white people!!

briefly went to a bar for a friend's birthday celebration and saw  japanese band jake stone garage cover Nirvana's "smells like teen spirit"

the original lyrics are basically incomprehensible gibberish but they took on a weird edge when sung in english by someone with a super strong accent.

i laughed when they did the "hello, hello" part and it literally came out as "herro, herro" and then i realized i'm probably a racist.

Just guessing I could be wrong.
Some WP are just more judgmental about outward appearance.

Speaking of black people being too social...

There's a new black dude at work, young guy. Every time I walk past him he gives me this longing stare, and I always respond with the Black Man Head Nod, which he reciprocates. I have no problem doing the nod, but I feel like you should only do it once to someone in a day. Tuesday I did it like 4 times to him because it seemed like he wanted me to 

I don't know what else to do. We were both busy so it's not like I could stop and say what's up

There's an old man at work that does this to me except it's not the nod.  He asks everytime he sees me "Hey Ed, how's it going?"  My response is always the same.  Considering we sit like 20 ft away from each other I see him upwards of ten times a day.  It's annoying.  But he's so nice

(Image removed from quote.)

see...you should be able to laugh at that in private, possibly even in public.  It's funny for reasons independent of hating or belittling an entire race of people.
