got approved for unemployment I applied for like a month and a half ago AKA a ten week extension on my current lifestyle choice of 'hypershunnable trash person'  / 

[Madrun Badrun]

congratulations for your success at being unsuccessful.

It's tough outchea, brehs.

Third Tinder date in a row where the girl...how should I say...really knows how to take a good picture 

I feel so bad for not being into these girls when I meet them, but I can't help it that I'm just not attracted to them while meeting them in person.  Makes me think that I also am someone who only takes "good pictures."

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

Co-worker quit without giving any notice.

lots of extra hours to go around, but now I'm not sure that I'll even be able to make all those nifty Halloween parties that I've been invited to.  We've been short staffed as is, now the situation will be extra strenuous for at least the next few weeks until we can get someone else.

[Kara]

Woke up at 4:30 without an alarm going off or anything.

Listened to a voicemail left for me last night when we were Plug-DJing that gave me a panic attack. (I won't expand on this further.)

Have fucking tax law class today after weeks and weeks of the Long War that I have to attend dead tired and in the middle of a panic attack.

Agreed to work for a client tomorrow because I did the "text the wrong person" thing even though I'm still operating on empty after doing fuck all last weekend.

I think that about covers it for now?

[Mupepe]

I wake up at 4 30 daily without an alarm. Because I wake up at that time everyday for work and by 9pm I am usually passed the fuck out.

I went to bed around 1.

[Kara]

The last time I was involved in a pregnancy scare she didn't tell me until months later.

Be an emotionally unsupportive piece of shit y'all.

This was an improvement on the one previously, BTW.

Staying in Antalya, Turkey. Our lodgings have toilets with primitive, cold water butt-bidet nozzles. In their default position They will shoot out water too low, hitting nothing and shooting out from the front of the toilet.

Everyone in my training session is hot, or it seems like it. There are only two guys including me and this one particularly hot girl kept ending up bending over close to me. I struggle, legit. I dunno where to look anymore :/

[Shadow Mod]

Wanna listen to music.

Nothing really appeals to me right now.

 

[Rufus]

Time for a Spotify tour.

How about this for a start?

listen 2 this

Listening.

Spotify always gives me the same shit over and over or remixes of the song I just listened to. It's been pissing me off lately.

[Shadow Mod]

I liked it from the beginning since I have listened to other Eno stuff and I'm all about that ambient/experimental/build up stuff.

I'm surprisingly spry. #Blessed anxiety adrenaline y'all.

I didn't sleep at all for my night in the woods, then conducted a buddy team life fire the next day. felt surprisingly great too

[Phoenix Dark]

There are three parts I absolutely hate about camping: arriving at the campsite, setting up camp, and packing up everything to get ready to leave. I wish I could just ship my camping supplies, have someone set everything up, and just arrive and be ready to do whatever.

Don't pick the campsite closet to the outhouse.

sleeping outside on purpose

Our dog woke up a few days ago with her eye half-closed.  Turns out she somehow got a light scratch on her eye.  The vet is optimistic she'll be fine (and after a day her eye was opened all the way again) and the dog is acting normal, so no worries about that.

The struggle here is getting the medicine in her eye.  It's not eye drops, but instead this slow-oozing gel.  This dog is smart and she knows when it's coming- the instant you pick up the bottle, she runs away or thrashes her head around if we pick her up.  So we've been trying to get the medicine in -and failing- since Wednesday.  For some reason she will let my mother do this, so every night now my parents have been coming over or we meet them to get the medicine in.  They are coming by at 11:00 PM tonight to do it.    

[team filler]

your mom sounds like quite the bitch!

[Madrun Badrun]

I give nami peanut butter when I need to give her ring worm stuff but that goes on the back of her neck.  Hope your dogs ok.

[bork]

Thanks, we think her eye is already better.  This medicine just seems to be to ensure that the healing process goes well.  Never had a problem giving her other medicine before.  Had to give her eye drops last year and that was much easier compared to this.  Koko is a small dog, but that's like a small bundle of pure muscle and insane energy and it's really hard to keep her still.  But it's just until Tuesday evening so not much longer to go.

[bork]

My wife got the medicine in!   Bribed the dog by holding food up in front of her.

I bet.

Dandy, are you talking about heartworm meds in pill form?  You can get these little treats called Pill Pockets that have a space to stuff pills into.

My heartworm prevention stuff is a liquid I put on the back of her neck.  Don't know why I said ring worm.

Can't decide if I want to jump into R. Scott Bakker's Prince Of Nothing series.

I threw my blackness in the bushes tonight. I made oven baked fried fish using Silk soy milk instead of eggs, quinoa w/green peas & mushrooms cooked in chicken broth, and broccoli.

[Phoenix Dark]

The mushrooms were so flavorful


You read my mind breh, I'm aiming at stir fry next. I always walk through the sauce and seasoning aisle like damn I should try something. Definitely doing it next week.

[Phoenix Dark]

I don't get the use of the soy milk.

You know how when you fry fish you dip it in egg, butter milk, or regular milk before coating it with your corn meal/bread crumbs? Well since I didn't have eggs or milk I used Silk soy milk instead. Then I coated it with a bread crumb, corn meal, paprika, and Cajun seasoning mixture. Sprayed a pan with some butter, put the fish in, sprayed the fish, then put it in the oven. 375, 30 minutes in order to ensure it was crispy. The Silk gave the fish an almost sweet taste, similar to when you use butter milk.

[nachobro]

I need to get another crockpot. That thing was amazing for making good food with almost no effort. Since my last one broke I've definitely been eating worse.

[Kara]

whenever i ask for stolichnaya a bartender looks at me like i'm from mars and i have to say "stoli"

i ate a hipster restaurant where my dinner and 2 drinks cost twice what getting fucking trashed at a dive bar cost later on tonight

also they played "call me maybe" at the dive bar

Still adapting to Eastern Yuro-peen Time Zone. Waking up at 5:00 every day, sometimes can get back to sleep, other times not.

Man like I said fish sauce is goat. Idk if you can find it at normal Detroitistan super markets but any asian marts will have it. Some other stuff to consider is some hoisin sauce, mirin,  and sambal oelek.. I love stir fry because it's just an inauthentic do what you feel like thing, and you can throw whatever you like together. I use it a lot to experiment with asian stuff.

Just, never, ever look up how fish sauce is made. :eww

Antalya, Turkey:

Struggle 1 - EVERYONE smokes here. Starbucks had a huge patio, maybe 80 seats. Interior, no smoking, 5º hotter than outside and only 4 seats total. Everyone in all the various seats outside was smoking. Men, women... even a table of 15 year old boys had cigarettes sitting on top of the table.


Struggle 2 - The women here. Green or blue eyes against olive skin. Curves.  Immaculate grooming, and absolutely no fear of sexy clothes or embracing femininity. Tall women with broad shoulders; women who look like they could probably lift me up.

[Kara]

Sounds like I should be teaching myself Turkish instead of Afrikaans.

Atlanta's best dive bar was so fucking evil, they had to move it once and then bulldoze the original site.

I had a five day weekend, but now it's almost over. 

[Kara]

Finally going through my shit from storage. Nice to know I got a couple hundo worth of stuff to sell (before Magic cards, BTW they reprinted the allied colored fetchlands and trashed my 401(k) MaRo) but the entire process is just reliving my massive L taking this year and idk how I'm chugging through this without getting emosad.

Organizing my notes is probably my #1 source of angst these days. I mean that sounds ridiculous but given that my notes have all my concepts, intellectual conceits and life plans in them it makes sense ... my inability to sort my notes satisfactorily is a fitting proxy for my inability to sort anything in my life satisfactorily.

fucked this rican bish but was too drunk to finish. she was on her rag and bled on her blankets, the skankiness turned me on. not enough doe 8[

Ah, OK.  We have a pill for heartworm stuff and then a liquid for the back of the neck for fleas and ticks.

Settled into bed at 7am to go to sleep. Currently 9an and can't fall a sleep.

Girl I am TAing came was trying to talk to me about her bad mark on the midterm and if she should continue with the class.  She got 3/20 and was nearly in tears while talking.  Feels bad man.  On the other hand I really enjoy giving out failing grades when I mark and don't have to see the tears first hand.

Don't let it get to you. I often would pull that crying shit with my professors when my grades were bad (quite often in calc/applied math classes). Usually I took real life drama and would trump it up, the truth was that I wasn't applying myself enough and was too busy chasing girls/good time.

Listening to Thom Hartmann liken the U.S. to the GDR's surveillance state while I wait for underwear to finish in the washing machine.

My mouse software wasn't working so I couldn't import the macro file that has four common, banal phrases I use at work a lot, forcing me to actually type things to people.



...I fixed the issue though.

Rivalry week, Michigan v Michigan State this upcoming weekend. Man the smug nature of Michigan stans is amazing. We've got a guy in the office shitting on a MSU grad - nevermind that the MSU grad just got his CPA, will be getting an MBA soon, etc etc while the Michigan grad is essentially a good ole boy hire.

[Kara]

The stupid hipster shirt I bought to wear to stupid hipster eateries / pubs downtown isn't going to ship until like fucking mid-November.

Buy clothes from CIS countries y'all.

Slava Voynov probably beat his girlfriend bad enough to require hospitalization 

Don't want to see this fuck around the Kings ever again if the allegations are true

Are you his girlfriend; is this really your struggle?

[Kara]

The struggle against domestic violence is everyone's struggle.

Pretty sure it is at least one person's triumph.  I mean someone has got to win the fight.

Jury duty was tomorrow, got rescheduled for March

[I'm a Puppy!]

My CEO has dropped all semblance of decorum and is totally skipping my boss and coming straight to me for what he needs, almost daily.
Further he just dropped something on me essentially saying "Hey, we've been at this one project for a few months and sorta screwed it up. I need you to come up with a project plan to set it right....by tomorrow."

Saving other people's projects you know nothing about 

The only thing you can do in that case is fail.

[Madrun Badrun]

Let me squirt some stuff in your eye and make you feel good.
