not so serious but I want to rant II: Redemption

Gah, where did that bloodstainon my sheets come from? It's around where my neck or shoulders was. Is it from that scab I accidentally picked when towel-drying after shower? I thought that had glazed over already... I see no other scabs or wounds, and with my garlic intake I'm pretty sure a vampire would have been a pile of dust on my bedroom carpet.
It was my dragon.
 
I just got a shirt in that I had ordered online. It was a bit more than I usually spend on clothes but I liked it. I wore it once and than I went to wash it. I washed it on warm/cold like its aid and than I put it in the dryer on permanent press and came back in about 30 minutes and realized the dryer felt hot for being on permanent press. So apparently the permanent press setting was not working and my shirt is not severely shrunken. I can still fit it but it is tight and doesn't nearly as nice :(

Shirt too tight? Buy one of those stupid visor hats, pop your collar, and call everyone Bro.

Yeah, convince yourself like the Hot Topic loving audiophiles that vinyl is superior because it's not digitally sampled, despite the much higher dynamic range of a wav file. Because, you know, your brain can distinguish 41 thousand samples per second.
 
...I like vinyl.

I also like CDs and MP3s...but I just like the look of records.

I also shop at thrift stores a lot.

Yes...I'm hipster Cthulu mom. My icon needs glasses.
 
Aw, thanks cheesy...but you can hardly see those glasses!

...I guess they could be so underground you don't even know they are there.
 
GUSTO YOU LAZY ASS. IN NO WAY IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH. Vote now, vote often. Vote repeatedly. Steal people's identities and vote for them, repeatedly!
 
I spent over 12 hours wrestling with a microcontroller, assuming it was my software, or the linux VM, or the fact that I'm running it as a VM on windows 7, or, or, or... I looked at everything except the microcontroller itself.

Finally on a lark I swapped the microcontroller with a new one and Everything Just Works (TM).

Had I a shotgun and a back 40, it would be obliterated. As it is, I'm going to hang it up as a reminder to avoid assuming the hardware works.

The real kicker is that I can't, in good conscience, bill those hours to the client. I'll only be getting 6 hours for what took the better part of a week, for a project that should have been an easy afternoon task. It's also set me back on the other projects I have on my plate.

Still, it's good to have projects people are paying me for.
 
Eek! Are you in pain? Do you look like a lopsided hamster with a seed fetish?
Pain hasn't started yet, but then again I'm still puffed up. Doctor said I had the strongest jaw he'd ever seen... the tooth just wouldn't come out. So it took like 10 minutes to get it pulled.

I was given a Vicodin prescription, so I'm probably going to be stoned out of my gourd tonight. Coincidentally, House is on tonight... I may wait till it's on to take my dose, just for shits. Then I can curse at Wilson and feel better about myself.
