I'd been talking with an eHarmony match for almost a month. We'd talked on the phone a lot and were planning on meeting soon (she lives in another state, otherwise we would've met weeks ago). Then today she dumped me with a text message.
Seriously, why can't people just pick up the phone these days?

What really sucks for me is that Softimage was my real specialty that I focused on and what I feel most comfortable in, but I'm seeing incredibly few positions in the US that use it. There's nothing to stop me from using it for freelance projects, but I really want to work towards a stable* career right now.
*as far as "stable" generally tends to apply to 3D-related jobs.

Today is the first day I missed not being in law school. I want to talk about the Court's decisions but I don't want to talk to people who are going to make it all about politics and republican/democrat crap.
It's about the law delicious delicious law! I want to talk about precedent, strict scrutiny and least restrictive alternatives. I want to get my law on.
But I can't so I guess I'll just listen to a bunch of laymen blather about stuff they know nothing about.
Also, hearing people threaten to move to Canada over the healthcare decision is hysterical. HYSTERICAL.

I wouldn't mind hearing your take on the legal aspects of the decision. I've no legal training but I find it interesting.
There are not enough faces or palms in the world to cover this. If anyone told me they were moving to Canada over this decision I would laugh uncontrollably right in their face.
Husband has gone out for the night. Probably won't be back until tomorrow evening as it's a "Yay! I broke up with that smell lady part!" party for our friend and he's staying over night then heading off to work. I am stuck home. Child is in bed. Don't fee like playing anything.
I am so bored!!!

I'll be there in five.
For some reason I thought this was in the "just had sex" thread and thought it had a context :/.
My rant: the rats have mites again. I feel bad because this has likely been going on for weeks and we never know until the scabs are showing. Amun's face was bleeding the other night.
We finally were able to get medicine from the vet without an appointment (can't afford). So now comes stripping the cage down entirely, bleaching every surface of it, freezing bedding and wood toys, washing all their cloth and hammocks. Had to throw out all our empty cardboard boxes that we use to make their forts and give them beds in the cage.
It's not a big deal, but it's a lot of work and it fucking sucks, especially when we have my cousins sleeping over this weekend. Who knows if they're dragging anything extra over.
I'll cheer you up Quotemander Prime, I got to clean up at least two pounds of crap out of my puppy's kennel today.
Point. It'd take my rats a couple weeks to make that.

I am mildly annoyed whenever one of my Chinese or Korean friends chooses to update their facebook status in Mandarin or Korean. As a paranoid person, I am always super afraid they are talking about me so I have to translate it. But online translators don't really translate any non-Romantic languages to English very well.
Case in point, tonight's mild annoyance from a Chinese girl:
Whch translates, apparently, to

Dude, that is totally about you. You need to smackabitch.
It's obviously about me, or Google wouldn't have capitalized "You". It's talking to me specifically.
Clearly.

Google is always thinking about you.
So am I. O.O
not really... as far as you, or I, know.

I'm doing a lot of work.
She offers to help.
I tell her I'm good for now.
Continue doing lots of work.
She offers to help again.
I tell her something she can help with.
A half-dozen complaints ensue on the difficulty of the task.
And she wonders why I prefer to just do everything myself

.Nephew is in the hospital again right now, suffering through high spiking fevers, looks like another shunt malfunction. But none of the tests they've run point to it being a shunt malfunction, everything is peachy keen according to every test they have. So he's being kept for observation just in case, and fasting in case he needs to be rushed to the OR. If nothing massive happens over night he'll probably be discharged tomorrow. Which means he'll continue to be like this for a few weeks before receiving another surgery to either check the shunt for infection (This is pretty much a last resort thing, because the risk of infecting it while checking for infection is rather high) or replace a new one. Last time he had a shunt malfunction it was similar. None of the tests showed that's what it was, but the symptoms persisted and after a few weeks it was finally confirmed and the day after he got the new part put in he was 100% again.
Only difference in his symptoms is last time he was drifting in and out of conciousness (Eyes roll back and everything) and had no fever. This time fever, but fully concious.
My sister and brother in law are in the hospital with him right now, meanwhile my NIECE is in a totally different hospital (doing pretty well actually, but she won't be coming home for atleast another two weeks or so, roughly a full 3 months in hospital).

So I had to look up what "非诚勿扰" was. Apparently it's a Chinese dating game show on Jiangsu TV. So I guess her post would translate to something along the lines of "Going on "If You Are the One" requires a certain amount of courage.... (Go! Yeah! Woo!..take your pick)
加油 translates so weird because it literally means to re-fuel (加-add 油- oil/fuel) but it can be used as a sort of cheer. Like "Hope you do well on your test! 加油！"
...Interested in a vacation in Brussels? It's 9 am here, so no reaosn to go to sleep, and my kitchen is very well-suited to your hobbies.
My rats eat the bugs here (microscopic parasites aside). It's a good system.
Sounds like SOMEbody has conditioned himself to not be able to sleep unless he feels like he accomplished something every day.

Yeah, somebody needs to learn to knock that shit off!
Heh. You laugh, but if you train yourself to repeatedly do your Best Work only after midnight, you will find that you can't get to sleep without Doing Something. This is a habit I am currently working to break.Yeah, somebody needs to learn to knock that shit off!

I am tired of being the sole person in any given group of acquaintances or friends who is capable of organising events. "We should meet this weekend," one friend will say. "Yes, alright," I agree, "What day works best for you?" "Oh I don't know," comes the inevitable reply, as though they were unprepared for this level of inquiry, "I don't care, I guess. What day do you want to meet?" Me?! You're the one who wants to have a meeting. "I think Friday evening would be good," I proffer, "We both work on the same side of the city, we could meet after we're off." "Oh, Friday's no good, I'm meeting my parents for dinner." So what you're saying now is that you both know and care on what day of the weekend we meet. And now that it is resolved that it will have to be Saturday, a similar series of useless responses leads us down this path:
Time? Don't care. Oh, but not the afternoon, it has to be evening.
Place? Don't care. Oh, no, I don't eat Chinese food.
What should we do after dinner? Don't care. Oh, god, no, we're not watching that.
It is somehow my job to recommend things apparently only so that they can be shot down. When it's my initiative, that is to say, when I am the one who suggests a meeting, I generally have a time and a place and some kind of plan, so at least I am pitching an idea. Of course I'm open to it being edited because I may have picked a time that doesn't work for you, or a variety of food to which you are fatally allergic, but at least I haven't said, "I want to meet, but that beyond that I don't really give a damn what happens so long as I maintain the power of aggressively vetoing what I will treat as your exceptional idiocy."
I would really just like to have one friend, just one, who engages social situations with ideas about what to do as opposed to just reserving the right to piss all over the ideas they demand from me. All I ask is that people contribute once in a while, especially to their own fucking plans.

As if to prove my point, this kind of problem has happened twice since I posted that.
