I started out writing a post and it turned into one giant bitch-fest. I decided to abandon that one. Because while the occasional bitch-fest is therapeutic, that one was fucking obnoxious.
I’ve been trying to compose a “real” post for awhile and…I got nothing. Sure I have plenty of things to write about. I just can’t compose a coherent post. So I just don’t write anything. Oh I’ve been writing. I’ve been doing a lot of writing. It’s been fantastic. Some of it has been truly cracktastic, but I’ve been WRITING nonetheless.
Next weekend is my cousin’s wedding out in the Middle-of-Bumfuck-Nowhere-Egypt and it will involve roughly 120 miles of driving (round trip). I have no idea if my car is fixed yet from the Great Tire Debacle and regardless I will never trust those Expensive Brand New Tires simply because of the lack of quality they have exhibited thus far. That and my car is cursed. If it is not fixed, we’re probably going to end up taking Bob’s car to said wedding and that will blow our typical plan of splitting the driving duties for such events. Because I can’t drive a stick. (Insert dirty joke…here.)
We’ve had some unseasonably warm weather recently. It has melted more than half of the metric fuckton of snow we had piled up. This means we are due for a massive blizzard. And there IS, in fact, a “WINTER STORM WATCH” out for…the entire state…this weekend. So we’ll see where THAT goes. If there is one inkling of inclement weather next weekend, I’m sorry, but we’re skipping the wedding and I’m mailing their card. Because the last time we drove a distance in bad weather—SOMEBODY RAN US OFF THE FUCKING ROAD. And neither one of us needs ANOTHER new bumper.
With the new Star Wars MMO slated for release sometime this year, and also Dragon Age II coming out NEXT MONTH…Bob has been scheming on his PC gaming setup. He purchased a gaming pad and is currently seeking out a gaming mouse. In return, I got new speakers for my laptop. (My actual laptop speakers are very tinny above a certain volume so we’ve been discussing this for quite some time.) AND! AND! The Red vs Blue DVDs! Oh. Hell. Yes. Eight seasons of Joel CABOOSE for all my RvB fixation needs enjoyment.
I’ve been meaning to do some work on my style sheet for this blog. And then I forget about it. Because I’m good like that. Or my brain doth not function. One or the other. Or both. Part of me wants a new header graphic, too. But I don’t really have any ideas for that. It would help if I was actually a graphic designer. But I am so not. Or had some photographic talent. But no. I am creative with words. I am no artist. Maybe I should try some typography thing. That was the one graphic design assignment I didn’t completely bork in my failed run at college classes. Though typography does actually require artistic ability as well, so I’m kind of running myself in circles here.
I should probably consider going to bed. It’s almost three in the morning. And I’m not tired. Color me not surprised.
