I've been telling my mom for a month to update her iPhone so it's free for her to text me (I have unlimited text so I don't really care either way.) I've explained a 1000 times that she just needs to hook the phone up to the computer, and it'll ask to update.

She says she updates, and I tell her she must not because it still shows SMS on my side. It's god damn color coded. "No cause the background of the texts are still green. See this person? Our text background is blue."

I come to bed and get a text from a long distance number... "I think I found that free text app!!" No name, so she probably thinks it came through from her number. I refuse to respond. Thank god she didn't get a more complicated phone.

I've been sick for days and not quite sure if it was a flu or something else. I was worried it was my gallbladder, due to abdominal pressure. I realized it only happens at home and I get reactions in my room. It's been impossible to sleep in my bed. I don't know if its mold or a reaction to the smog. Ehhhhhh

And place offered my freelance work, but the pay is way low, below livable wages. If I do it, its just some extra money, but then Ia m lowering everyones pay rate by doing work for what amounts to a penny per word.

Friday we drank at Upstream in the Old Market in Omaha. I had Bauman's Hop Farm Rye IPA and the Flagship IPA.

Then we bought 6-packs of Ska Modus Hoperandi IPA, Empyrean Dark Side Vanilla Porter and O'Dells IPA.

Today I went to Nebraska Brewing Company and had two 23 oz. glasses of Hop God Belgian IPA and then 16 oz. of Cardinal Pale Ale.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #11594 on:** December 26, 2011, 10:10:14 PM »

Sounds like you had a good time. I didn't realize there was that much of a beer scene in the Omaha area.

Also, this Christmas around here is crazy this year weather wise. Mild temperatures and no snow to speak of. Not that I'm complaining

Ordinarily there's a foot of snow on top of a half inch of ice.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #11595 on:** December 26, 2011, 10:17:34 PM »

The beer scene in Nebraska is pretty small, especially compared to Seattle, Portland and the rest of the PNW. They're trying, though.

Yeah, the mild 50 degree weather and no snow is really odd. I feel like I'm home in Seattle. Except for the lack of ocean and mountains.

Seems like one of our neighbors is responsible for breaking into my moms car last night. Hoping he tries again so I can bash his fucking head in.

Ripped out the center console to try to seal the radio and couldn't. Stole a children's DVD but left my gamefly rentals (Read Dead Redemption and NFS: The Run) also didn't bother stealing over $20 in change. Sounds like a really shitty thief to me.

My cat is getting too smart. 8 months and he's opening cabinets and last night we was working on turning a door knob. Uh oh

i threw all the cats toys in a drawer in the back of the house. the drawer would always be open so i'd close it every time i walked past (cuz im ocd like that). yet every time i went back it was open again. i asked my fiancee why she wouldnt close the drawer after she opened it and she insisted that she was never the one that was opening it. the cats had figured out how to pull the fucking thing open themselves to get to their toys

He walked straight into your house? Sounds like a personality disorder. The autistic kid across the street went in my house when I was a teenager. Just wandered and wandered around and I told him to leave. Went back to do something else and apparently when his mom rang our doorbell he was STILL there.

I have a really cheap friend. He's always cheap, but every once in a while it gets on my nerves. Today is one of those days.

For New Year's Eve tonight, my buddy got two growlers of beer, I got one growler and some 12 oz. bottles of really good stuff to sit around and sample, and another buddy got a growler from a local brewery. Cheap friend is bringing a 12-pack of cheap shit, half of which he drank last night. I've starting to wonder if he thinks we find his cheapness endearing...

We used to always have mini-corn dogs at parties, so they thought it would be cute to have them at their wedding as an appetizer, and it was. HOWEVER, when you're throwing a party you should provide more than FUCKING MINI CORN DOGS.
