I mean, to clarify: the cinder-block thing comes from seeing houses in appalachia which seemed to be made of cinderblocks, which made me wonder if that would be an easy way to make a house. I would make it very home-y and stuff.

Today: reflect on the fact that I have created mega drama in my trip-group by not wanting to smooch a person who is obviously issue-having.
Somehow the scene where she started screaming at me in the middle of the street, accused me of stealing her money, etc. only confirmed that my decision was correct.

With 'no electicity, maybe just a sink for water'?

Don't forget when you send out your anonymous manifesto, there are all these messageboard posts to which to compare its writing style.

Today I'm recovering from attending my first ever professional sporting event. A lot of you have been ragging on me on The Facebook already because it was soccer. But I've never heard so much chanting or singing. Much of it in spanish. Apparently if you don't jump you are an hijo de puta. Which is good to know.

People also seemed to be either really excited or totally disinterested about the upcoming game against Real Madrid.

¡CANTEN PUTA!

This grammar... it's prescriptive. Oh no.

Hells yes, Cort.  I haven't been to a United game in some time (since the Nats moved to town, most of my sporting-event time and money go there), but I was once a card-carrying Screaming Eagle. 

I think people aren't all hopped up about Real Madrid, because they will probably bring their junior/B-team, which isn't really like playing Real Madrid.  It's like if the Yankees came to town to play your local semi-pro team, but called up a bunch of kids from double-A for the occasion.  Of course, if Real Madrid brought their real staring 11, United would totally have their ass handed to them.

Today I mowed the lawn, trimmed the hedges, weeded the garden, put down three bags of mulch in the garden and around the maple tree out front, cleaned out the charcoal grill, and made dinner.  Damn I'm tired.

Interesting. My friend was saying he wasn't too interested because he figured that United would only play their name players for like 8 minutes. Madrid doing the same hadn't really occurred to him.

Today I'm gonna get told very definitely that 'broad' is a word I should never use, ever, even in jest.
I thought I was just being charmingly anachronistic. Raymond Chandler has screwed me again.

[Toaster]

You were being charmingly anachronistic. That person overreacted. Unless their father was killed by a hardboiled detective or something.

... Think about taking some time out to spend a semester teaching economics at my old high school. I'm talking to people there to see if it is even a reasonable idea. It would give me time to figure out grad school, my relationship, and everything else. Well see where this goes.

My brother did something like that - its a private school though, so whatever state certification was required for CA teachers wasn't an issue.

[AugustWest]

Don't you have to work for more than a few weeks before you get burnt out and have to take time off?

[Arachno-capitalist]

Yeah its a private school, and AW its not like this is something that would happen tomorrow, I just wondered if it was something that can even be an option when I want to do this grad school thing.

...stay home sick from work.  Just a cold, but it is causing much destruction.

Fortunately I still have some of the chicken soup I made last time in the freezer!

[Lister]

I'm not at the agony stage, but my legs and back are sore from... sitting and breathing, apparently.  Whee!
