Today I have... Thread.

I just wanted some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and jerky, so we go to the corner store to get some and see some cop cars out front. Don't thing much of it, it's midnight they may be getting some food. That's cool. Nope! We walk in and some fucker on the ground surrounded, fire men and EMTs. Guys talking to clearly to be drunk, so I don't think it's that. Cops are asking him all kinds of things like his name and how old are you. No one knows what's going on, not even the cashier. The old guy in front of us just looks annoyed, I don't blame him, I am too.

I'm betting he's one of two things a tweaker (being out in the country we do have a problem with that), or he's a crazy and having a bad day. I got my peanut butter cups, but I couldn't get my jerky because the fucker was right in front of it with all the cops. The jerk!

Spent the day recovering from a big party last night. The owner of one of my favourite bars/restaurants, an absolutely lovely Chinese lady, threw a farewell party for me. It's a little early, but this was the best time to get all her regulars together before I'm due to leave.
I got plied with Shochu, Umeshu and some really good food, and didn't have to pay for anything. I'm going to have to get her a present before I go.

Today I have to write a 6-8 paper that is due today, and I am currently writing another at the moment. I should have done both of these papers months ago, but alas, I am an idiot and procrastinate to the point of no return. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Today, I return home from an epic two week vacation on the other coast of the USA.

 

[Brain Power]

Spent almost two hours waiting for a professor to show up, only to receive an email saying he wasn't going at the last minute. Was it that hard to send the email a day before?

Today I plan to look around for a used laptop. My old one died on me a few months ago. I don't want to spend more than $200 or so, so I'll be looking at a few pawn shops and seeing if I can find anything that might suit me.

Spent the last half hour picking ticks off my body.

Never go outside, it's never worth it.

 

[Vampirella]

Went to look at another house today. We really like this one, hopefully we get it.

 

[Botched Tit Job]

I ate Korean Fried Chicken and was reminded of just how bizarrely filling it is.
3 tenders and 4 hours later im still not sure I'll ever eat again

Got a little art done today. I miss animating. Hopefully I can get back into it.

Went on a date. She took me golfing and I bought her dinner. Then we explored a tourist trap. When it got dark, we went to an outlook by the ocean and sat on top of her car, just talking.

I’m afraid to get my hopes up, but I’m surprised at how well things went.

I went for a morning coffee in the peninsula and looked at the ocean, it was nice. Then I smashed a big, fat wasp with a sewing kit. It wasn't splatted, it was just smacked enough that I could flick it away.

Today, I saw something which reminded me that wealth doesn't necessarily come with taste.
A Rolls Royce Ghost (I'm pretty sure that was the model anyway), in green. Not British racing green (the only acceptable shade of green for a car in my opinion), but something closer to a dark lime. This just made the gold hood ornament look even more tasteless.
Seriously, they let you customise everything to an absurd degree. Who the fuck spends that much money on a car and says, "Yep, that's the colour I want."
I just wish I could've got a photo to show you all.

Had my first training shift of my new job, it's going to be very chill. I'm basically supervising the local skatepark. (Among other things but the skatepark is what I'm most excited about)

Not all of the devils own dig black (at least it wasn't a lime green Cadillac)


edit: was out in the peninsula again, it's nice but the weather have been weird. Hot, humid, brief showers and then superhot making it more humid then cold, then hot again, storming a bit and now I have mosquitoes indoors! They're not supposed to be there, I've never had that before.

My main complaint:
The surrounding vegetation around here is basically variations of this: tons of bird cherry in full bloom and lilacs everywhere with oaks and rowan flowering as well. Usually it is very nice if a bit overpowering aromatically and if you have a problem with pollen then this isn't a good spot, otherwise they're fantastic.

But the weird weather has changed something, it made it all rank, damp and weird. In the breezes that carries the flowers aroma there is now a strong undercurrent of what I can describe as bouillon cubes and semen.

If this is what global warming is doing then I will personally take it upon myself to pour fucking sand into every car on the planet.

Went to a yard sale, and for no money at all, took home a massive 50" Vizio LED TV from 2013 (e500i-A0), I haven't tried it out completely but can get a picture when I plugged in a Ms. Pac-Man plug 'n play and all it lacks is the remote (which I could buy on Amazon). Not bad for free.

My parents are visiting. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them in person and it feels odd to have them here.

It’s nice to see them. Our relationship is decent. They’re just always emanating a heavy tension. I never noticed its absence until they were around again.

Sadpost. Today ends just about the worst three days of my life, though nothing in comparison to my girlfriend. On Monday at about 8, she wakes up to about 10 missed calls from her sister. Her father, through complications from an earlier stroke, died suddenly at the age of 61. She hadn't been in close contact for over a year and was tragically due home next Monday. She wanted to wait just to see him in person.
Fortunately I was there from the moment of the phonecall until today when she left for home. Although as it goes you never know how useful anything you do is in these situations. I have never experienced a tragic death nor did I know her father. All I could do is autisically assure her through logic that her father loved her and was proud of what she had done and that everything, eventually, will be better.
I mostly kept strong for her throughout, but anything can trigger you. As she had left for the airport, I walked by a bookstore which had a children's book called "Caring for Daddy", it had an illustration of a little girl in a spacesuit atop her father's shoulders. Now I'm more miserable than ever.

Spoiler: Large Photo

Got her present yesterday, and she seemed absolutely delighted with them.

Today I spilled bleach all over my one of a kind sweatshirt I got for being a volunteer firefighter. Totally unrepairable. At least I can still wear it around the house I guess. But on the plus side I inherited an old Royal typewriter in fantastic shape. Fuck I loved that sweatshirt though.
