Un-awesome: my wife was on a night shift last night, so I got up at 6 this morning, made the kids lunchboxes, got them up and dressed and breakfasted, let them kiss mom as she came home from work and went to bed. Took them to school, fed all the animals and did the morning farm shit, came home, put the small one to bed for nap, took emails and phone shit, went to do a house survey, did shopping, raced back, plucked and gutted a goose for Mrs R's dinner party. Did all the washing up to have room to work in kitchen. Stuffed goose neck. Opened wine to breathe. Got small one up and cleaned up and fed. Prepped stuffed goose neck with toddler crawling around my knees. Made stuffing for goose. Interspersed playing with toddler and fielding work phone calls. Towed scrapped car to scrapyard with toddler. Collected kids from school. Fed farm animals. Got home, got kids changed, got goose in oven and stopped kids from killing each other. Ignored screaming clients emails. Mrs R got up. Did washing up from cooking. Laid table. Welcomed Mrs R's guests. Served four course meal. Didn't insult anyone. Kept control of 5 children.

and you know what? I'm an asshole because I won't buy a dishwasher.

That's okay Billy. You should know by now that none of us can do a damn thing right when we're watched by the blind.

My genius of a neighbor deals with her yard debris by chucking it onto my property when she thinks no one is watching. The last time she did it, my six month old fifty pound puppy noticed. Turns out the old lady didn't actually want to play despite giving such a blatant signal to the contrary.

Sitting down to enjoy the MotoGP race, watch it get cancelled due to a horrific crash in the first lap, and then a little bit later finding out one of your favorite riders of the year has succumbed to his injuries and died.

RIP Marco Simoncelli

Girlfriend had an epileptic seizure while we were having lunch at a cafe today. She has spells on occasion, but this one was stronger than usual, and an ambulance was nearly called. I got her medication into her system on time (had to pull food out of her mouth first), and there was a customer in the shop who happened to be a nurse who helped me keep her in the right position and get her stable.
She was fine in the end, but I took her home straightaway. She's now too humiliated to ever set foot back in that place. I'm just glad she's ok now.

I used to work in Motorsports and did a few seasons of MotoGP. It is always very horrible when fatal accidents occur.

Bookwyrm - well done you for dealing with a difficult situation well. Your GF is unlucky to have her condition but lucky to have you.

Thanks, Billy. That means a lot.

Man, sorry about that Bookwyrm my grandmother has epilepsy, so I remember as a kid sleeping at their house and hearing her downstairs thrashing around. Everyone treated it as normal because she's had it for so long, but I remember just being terrified. It's an incredibly scary thing seeing people have a seizure. But your an incredible guy for being there for her

But on to my petty issues... fuckin' school yo. So. Goddamn. Tired. Of. It. The shit has just hit the fan with it these past few weeks and won't stop til the end of the month. Huge photo midterm due two weeks ago, a 10 page paper due last week that I barely got in on time, then a 4-6 page paper due two days after that I had to ask an extension on and am currently finishing at 2 in the morning (due at noon tomorrow and I have an 9 am class that runs right until then so can't finish it in the morning), another smaller photo project due tomorrow morning that is luckily done, and a short film for a screening next month for the 31st that has not even been started yet. I'm pulling my fucking hair out. And it especially sucks because this month has been awesome otherwise (ie seeing Dev, Halloween coming up, Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight, etc) and I feel like I can't even stop long enough to savor any of it. I hate hate hate that feeling of being so busy you can't stop and just take in what's around you. I've even been too busy for my own health-- working out has taken sort of backseat to the other shit that needs done and that's usually what makes me feel better so I've just felt shitty lately. I like to work out everyday but have only been getting in 2, 3 days a week. So those are my petty problems, but I'm just exhausted and I want to sleep and not think about the next thing I have to do. Just a week, week and a half and I'll have a few weeks clear... counting it down.

End rant

I used to hate school, when I was doing it, now I'm more philosophical about it, and I think I should have enjoyed it more.
Too late for regrets.

Last night at the game, not only did my team lose, but a little girl vomitted on me and friends back.
Set the tone for the night.

Ooh, unpleasant! Especially if it's not your own kid. When it's your own, you get pretty used to being vomited and peed on.

Yea was not mine, but the dad was doing a great job of trying to catch it with his hand, but liquids don't hold well in hands.

How about the fact that Final Cut won't run on PC? It's a fickin' pain in my dick, and is making my life far more difficult than it needs to be. And hell if I'm going to pay Apple their exorbitant prices on one of their laptops just to run it. I refuse to pay about 3-400 dollars more than I should be for their middle of the line hardware just to buy into their stupid "brand." Ugh.

Sigh. Just going to say that a good macbook pro is better optimized for video shit than the average equivalent windows laptop, just in its architecture. That said, a good quadcore machine and Premiere Pro will go a long way, just don't really fuck around with it and leave it dedicated to production. Sometimes they'll exceed Apple performance.

The new Final Cut's fucking garbage btw.


Oh and 80% of the things about today are unAwesome. Everything but Dev, pretty much.

dev bantered straight through my favorite part of 'life' at the show tonight. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Hate it when he does that.
But that being said he is quite the entertainer.

He actually played Life for you.

I'll trade you an extra Supercrush for a bantery Life.
