I hate compulsive spending like that. Sorry if I've missed any finer points of the4 discussion, I had to sroll past some posts because  rigt now there is a chemical impendemet between me and the keyboard keys. To stay on topic: today I watched the Orioles squander a good early lead from really good seats. Fuck thay could have come backbut no, they've gotta choke like they always do. goddamit. I wanted to punch that 10-yr old in the white asox jersey but I di't. do I get a prize for that?

Today I learned that you should find out if your car battery is waaaay past its life expectancy before you drive it to Las Vegas.  Apparently 100+ degree heat was quite enough of a final straw for my battery I bought in Florida in January 2003.

Poor sucker couldn't even run the hazard lights.

Fortunately I mitigated losses by having AAA, a fully charged phone, a cooler with drinks in it, and leaving earlier than I needed to.  So.  Yay for being prepared.

To put this in perspective I have a tight group of about 7 friends who met in undergrad science, so we've known each other to varying degrees since 2003/2004 and even since we've graduated most of us have worked in or around the uni and still meet up at least fortnightly for beers, video games and general shenanigans.

So, in that context I present: Things that are happening to me this week (or, more properly, to those around me):
One friend submitted her PhD.
Another is moving to the Netherlands on Thursday to start his.
His girlfriend (another good friend) is going with him.
Two other friends got married on Sunday (in the sweetest, purest, most beautiful wedding dang ol' ever).
We just found out tonight from one of my oldest friends that his wife is pregnant (to be fair I had money on this happening about three months ago).
Finally I have to decide by Friday if I want to move away  go to a rural clinical school next year, which will obviously have a big effect on my staying in contact with the guys that are still around and all my non-uni friends as well.

I'm just going to chill at home tonight and wait for a man from the government to come to the door with an official letter informing me that a new phase of my life is beginning.

wait for a man from the government to come to the door with an official letter informing me that a new phase of my life is beginning.

And I'm going to assume that's not as scary as it sounds.

[Doc]

No, that part was hyperbole. Just having one of those moments where so much stuff seems to be changing that it would be nice to know it was due to some sort of formal process.

[jay-ell]

Technically, that happens.

I mean, postal carriers are government employees, and they bring things like college acceptance letters and mortgage papers and book contracts and stuff.

What's wrong with bringing a guitar to a party?  (I don't, since I neither have a guitar nor the talent to play it)

Have you never seen Animal House? "I'm the sensitive guy playing acoustic guitar at a party to try to score some tail. And annoy everybody else in the room with my shitty acoustic covers of popular songs from high school."

[miles]

I was going to say that the guy that brings a guitar to the party will nearly always play "More Than Words" and if you need an explanation of why that makes one a prick then, well, you're just not my type of people. But your example is better because it precedes mine and Animal House is awesome.

[theinevitable]

ugh, more than words wins some sort of award.

it is spectacularly bad.

[greenkoolayd]

'more than words' used to be my jam back when i was around 7 or 8.  also, that bryan adams song from 'robin hood: price of thieves'.

[miles]

I was, and still am, totally about acoustic jams by hard rock bands from that era. Like this one. But More Than Words has always offended my sensibilities, even as a young boy. It's like, even though I didn't know the correct word choice at the time, I totally understood douchey-ness.

But (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, fuck yeah. Oh, to be 11 again.

[pmcd9]

Man, that's one of my favorite Air Supply songs ever.
