The question is, do you have the nerve to Google it?

[Arachno-capitalist]

Today I'm gonna accuse A-CAP of stringing 3 random words together just to see if anybody notices.

Crunchy - as in when Ray invited beef over for some "crunchy stellas". Honeybrowns - as in the delicious domestic lager that is on tap at the local public house.

I thought stellas were crispy. 

Although crunchy is probably a better descriptor for Honey Browns. 

Today I'm gonna meet my kid's new teacher, and feel ambivalent.

yesterday, I went to a Metal show, which was... a new experience. I could have seen the main band for free at my school, but instead I had to pay 15$ to see them here, and smell like smoke, and have ringing ears.

I am glad that I am into kinds of music with better male-to-female ratios, that is all I know.

But also, on the way home me and a good friend from high school had the awkward conversation where both of us had to say that we are no longer straight-edge. He was much more intensely into it than I was, and so he was a lot more defensive about it. Being all "um, do you want anything to drink" "no." "ok, I'm going to get something" and he comes back with a Newcastle and is like "have you tried Newcastle, it's really good" and I just kind of nod and understand that he is telling me that he drinks now. It was weird.

It turns out that they are both crispy and crunchy

In reference to that strip's theme of Beef meeting Ray's mom, I'm still oddly formal with my friends' parents.  Moreso with the one who hired me out of college (I didn't directly work for him, but he was the big boss).  Its like I hear myself going Sir or Ma'am and using proper english while on the inside I'm saying to myself "Who is this guy talking?  Am I still in 6th grade?"

Update: I have no matches on eHarmony. I am incompatible.
"You are empathetic and compassionate, but you also believe that it's best if people solve their own problems and learn to take care of themselves, if they are able. For people who are ruled by tender-hearted compassion, your more diplomatic response to problems might seem too cool, too focused on fairness and not filled enough with sympathy and selflessness."
Well at least honest answers to the questionnaire produced a true analysis.

Today I sat a test that might determine a good chunk of my future. I think I did ok, I blew part of it majorly but overall I'm reasonably confident, but I won't find out until mid-may.
Then I voted for someone called Stephen Gay and soon there will be steak, and I may finally finish Mass Effect.

...enjoy my last weekend (for now, it's a temporary job, I swear I can quit any time) as an unemployed/working-at-home/freelance-writing-and-frog-keeping person.

By, um? Taking pugs to the vet. Digging around in closets for old uniform shirts. OK, I'm going to have to do better than that.

[Arachno-capitalist]

wake up hung over as hell to the sound my guinea pigs make... like they are gnawing on glass... in my brain.

You know you're a tough son of a bitch if you make it to adulthood with a name like that.

...file my taxes. 

I am a freak who still prefers the pencil-and-calculator method.  Something about Turbotax and other such newfangled phenomena makes me extremely wary.  On an intellectual level, I think they probably are a good idea, but my guts tell me that no computer is going to be able to figure out how to best apply tax law to someone's life as well the person actually living that life. 

It's the same reason I won't take my income tax to an accountant.  His knowledge of the tax systems is all well and good, but I feel that my knowledge of what actually applies to me is more important to the task. 

Also, I kind of think the forms-in-duplicate, number-two-pencil, make-each-mark-heavy-and-dark aspect of the whole thing is sort of satisfying.  I....sort of geek out about it. 

That's what I did today.  Also: took my son outside in the rain to jump in puddles.  We saw a worm!

That shit be awesome.

Filed my taxes yesterday.  Turbotax for about the 4th year running, and it's hell of easier than the paper and pencil way.  Something tells me JL and Pedro's taxes do not involve depreciation, capital gains or self-employment taxes, cause that #2 wouldn't look so appealing if they did.

Was it a hookworm? Cause thats exactly how you get hookworm. One minute your jumping in puddles, the next theres a parasite feeding off your child.
