Well, you are a stuffed animal. That's cheating.
Look, just because you eat all of yours while waiting at the gate doesn't mean everyone else will want to.

Feel like shiiiiiiit.
Not just my arms and back, but I think I did some other kind of health bullshit.
Manager is asking about work availability. If I feel better in the morning, I'd like to go in, but I'm not betting on that. On top of that, bus stop is loaded with plowed snow four feet high, so I'd have to stand in the street to wait. Also no way to cross the street upon coming home. No way to walk to work from the bus stop there. Actually, the bus up near work isn't running tomorrow.
Yeah, kinda fucked on that front. If we can just get some groceries at some point tomorrow, I'll call that a win.

I have a great picture of my daughter in a skirt and sleeveless shirt standing on a giant pile of snow on the way back from a ski trip.
She does this all winter no matter what I say, so nope.
You OK? Your car survive? Get any meat?

So last night I went home and just started drinking vodka. I don't remember stopping playing Cities: Skylines, closing ventrilo, getting up from my desk, and moving to my couch (not my bed), but apparently that's what I did at some point. I woke up this morning on the couch to a not insignificant amount of pain in my side torso and leg, with my laptop leaning up against me. Also apparently, during the night I must have pulled my laptop to me or something, but not facing the right direction, and the spine is the part with the heat exhaust. So all night it was blowing hot air (I'd guess 120 degrees f /50 c) directly on my bare skin.
I've got 3 four inch long burn marks (two on my side, one on my thigh) complete with pinto-bean sized blisters from where my laptop spent the night trying to cook me like an air fryer. Things are ouchy. I'm trying not to break the blisters in the hopes of speedier healing, but they're dangerously close to where things like armrests go.

The moron creature ran into the side of my car. He was a real shmuck to do so.In what definition? I'm not really seeing how a deer would shmuck you
I know the definition as "loser" but also as "to collide". Interesting how that definition didn't come up.[DOUBLEPOST=1453825942,1453825886][/DOUBLEPOST]
I've got whiplash and a bad headache. My car is worse off. The venison got away.
Glad you're okay! That happened to Mr. Z a while back when he was still driving the Chevy. The deer took our side-view mirror, but Mr. Z kept his broken antler, so it was...an exchange? Of sorts?

I know I already whined about this, but it would friggin' figure that as soon as I have saved up enough money for a good downpayment, there are no houses for sale in my neighborhood (well, that are anything worth buying or not absurdly expensive). I thought these layoffs and low oil prices would open up a lot and drop the house prices, but it has done neither. It's stopped the houses from being snapped up as soon as they go on sale, but I think it's also entrenched a lot of people in their homes who might've sold before, and I think they've all decided to hold steady on their pricing and hope that the oil price goes back up soon. There have been very few price drops even on houses sitting for half a year.

Most people actually use the word "smucked" for that, as in "The road was so icy that I smucked another car."

Ah, that's it. Well, I was smucked by a shmuck deer so I'm pleading insanity with this one.
It took out the side-view mirror on my car and all I got was a couple of strands of hair and some deer drool.
That was a paid assassin.
We figured you had to be pretty far gone, because even at your drunkest you never just randomly left Vent and disappeared. But ouch.

I'm pretty sure at some point I passed out. I must have reawoken later (probably jostled awake by snarls of X-Com multiplayer defeat) and relocated, but I don't really remember anything other than BIKE LANES EVERYWHERE NAOOOWWe figured you had to be pretty far gone, because even at your drunkest you never just randomly left Vent and disappeared. But ouch.
Well no, we were talking to you, you were completely incoherent and talking about playing Jenga, and then we played another match of XCOM and by the time we finished you had logged out of Vent and Cities: Skylines without a word, so I don't think you ever passed out with things still running.

It's actually less than it used to be.
I can back this up, unless he's been drinking at work.
