So...

Kmac, Freddie, and Yancy (among others) have passed through Indy in the last few months.

SOMBies met from these trips: None

I'm starting to take this personally.

28 years pulling ponytails and it was paper planes.
And my parents never bought me a bike.
It feels so cold over here.

My mom and I are planning to do a Family Tree, and so far from the background she has given me I can tell you all my maternal Grandparents had it rough. Basically, both grandparents came from mildly wealthy backgrounds, but after the death of their respective parents, both of my grandparents were stripped from their houses, cars, and money by other relatives. My mom was the one that had to endure the most, it's sad she has yet to get the recognition she deserves.

Do we set our clocks back this weekend?

My calender on the wall here and the one at work say that we don't do it here until next Sunday, November 4.

But my computer clock just changed automatically at 2:00 tonight, automatically back to 1:00. I thought it was a mistake and switched it back but now the official board clock (lower right corner) is running an hour behind where it's supposed to be, at least according to this time.

yeah, it's not supposed to change until after november this year. They moved it back so the country could save money on gas or something.

computers don't know that shit, it's like y2k all over again.

All I know is that it gives me an extra hour of daylight when I'm out on the street delivering.

your calendar is correct. computers are so dumb.

well they've gone back in ukraine

I hear ya, and I still love ya, Velocity. I've had enough Tom Waits talk at this point! I love growler singers and I always have, from Howlin' Wolf to Captain Beefheart to Screamin' Jay Hawkins, I can't get enough of this kinda vocals.

My calender says this was the weekend for the E.U. to fall back an hour.

So we've still got a week in N. America, but the SOMB clock has gone ahead and fallen back an hour anyway. I see they were finally forced to move the servers to a damp basement somewhere in Warsaw.

Jeebus, had I missed out on Tool tickets because of a time change, I'd have been sorely peeved.

Yesterday afternoon I left my headlights on all day. Came out to my car late at night and my battery was dead.

Got a jumpstart and was able to drive home just fine. I even went to the grocery store this morning and it started up just fine. But what does this mean for the life of my battery. Is it back to 100% now, or did I just take a year or so off of its life? I really don't know how they work.

How old is the battery? They only last 5 years to begin with, I think...

I just got it 2 months ago.

It's normal that you found your battery dead until several hours with the lights on. No problem as long as the alternator works. Just check out it's got enough water.
I've been using the same battery for seven years. But yeah, five-six years is enough work for them. It's time to change it.

Edit

Well, no problem, your battery is ok.

Just make sure the car runs long enough to fully charge the battery before you let it sit overnight again. Not sure how long "long enough" is.

I just deleted 1.82 gigs worth of one-star iTunes.

the Junction's patty melt sandwich is fucking delicious

this new lil wayne album is gonna be runny eggs

HAVEN'T I BEEN GOOD TO YOU?

as a nick and tom waits fan it is kind of refreshing to hear someone kill the idol, but damn, tkb, nick went to a fucking bon jovi concert last year. why did you have to bring journey into this?!

ps: been throwing paper airplanes @ my comp since ten o'clock this morning...nothing.

That Bon Jovi concert was a blast. And I was there with my mom.

Slippery When Wet >>>> anything in the Waits catalogue.

"College" for me has meant continuously thinking I have reached the apex of insanity and then outdoing myself again.

Ain't about my pistol
Ain't about my boots
Ain't about no northern drives
Ain't about my southern roots
Ain't about my guitars, ain't about my big old amps
"It ain't rained in weeks, but the weather sure feels damp"
Ain't about excuses or alibis
Ain't about no cotton fields or cotton picking lies
Ain't about the races, the crying shame
To the fucking rich man all poor people look the same

Don't get me wrong It just ain't right
May not look strong, but I ain't afraid to fight
If you want to live another day
Stay out the way of the southern thing

Ain't about no hatred better raise a glass
It's a little about some rebels but it ain't about the past
Ain't about no foolish pride, Ain't about no flag
Hate's the only thing that my truck would want to drag

You think I'm dumb, maybe not too bright
You wonder how I sleep at night
Proud of the glory, stare down the shame
Duality of the southern thing

My Great Great Granddad had a hole in his side
He used to tell the story to the family Christmas night
Got shot at Shiloh, thought he'd die alone
From a Yankee bullet, less than thirty miles from home
Ain't no plantations in my family tree
Did NOT believe in slavery, thought that all men should be free
"But, who are these soldiers marching through my land?"
His bride could hear the cannons and she worried about her man

I heard the story as it was passed down
About guts and glory and Rebel stands
Four generations, a whole lot has changed
Robert E. Lee
Martin Luther King
We've come a long way rising from the flame
Stay out the way of the southern thing

some people say that life just gets harder as you get older. i really dont see how thats possible.

Oh, it is. Buckle up.

oh, to be a college student again.

really? cuz i was kinda hoping there was a set limit of difficult things in a person's life, and once you hit that limit, life was done fucking with you.

You've been through a lot little girl, but yeah it gets tougher. Put on your helmet and safety goggles.

lol
i thought that too!


but, there's always booze to help heal the wounds.

Lol.

thats grad student, jerk.

SAME THING.

life just gets harder and harder, but, you get older and wiser and learn how to deal with it.

or you dont. and you ignore all your problems, become emotionless and revert to being 17 again.

wife has been out of town for two weeks
isn't back until this Friday

fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck

i feel like i could glide through forgo's life pretty easily.
only thing that keeps her from posting on here 24/7 is crushing student debt.

i tried that. it doesnt work. unless you enjoy panic attacks that come outta nowhere.

lol, oh okay.

i would never post on here 24/7. because hey i have a life. also, no internet at home.

on a different note, is it hard to own a cat? i need some sort of animal but i dont think i could handle a dog right now with my schedule.

if your improv friends posted here and you had internet at home...

edit: since everyone's pointing out their own sarcasm today, i will note that this is a sarcastic post

yea, that was my point. sarcasm, you know.

i dont know whats up with you, but you will get through it. we all have our problems, no ones life is easy, but we all manage... some better than others.



cats are easy. kittens are not. kittens are compeltel assholes. but cats you can leave alone all day and they will love you and all that good stuff. but ive had mine sice they were born, so i think they are pretty used to my bullshit.

life ONLY GET S HARDER with a pet
you want companionship, poop out a kid

Depends on the cat. We have two of them...One requires lots of attention and time, the other does not.

That's called "suicide".

i went to an orientation to volunteer at paws chicago this past weekend. it'd probably be a bad idea to get a pet right now. unless it was a fish. but those cats and dogs are pretty irresistable.

i used to work at a cat shelter called Touched by a Paw

it was soooo tempting to take a few of those guys home

cats are easier than fish

dogs are a pain in the ass

srsly, go to the treehouse or petco and adopt a cat. rescue cats are so sweet and just need love.

Are all the dishes dirty and you're telling the kid "just turn your underwear inside out and wear'em again"? If not there's still work to be done.

the only thing that 95% of cats need is a few minutes in the gas chamber.
i hate every last one of those stupid things, always making me sick and acting like a total bitch. at least all the people i know in real life only do one or the other.

Seconded. I can't understand people paying big bucks for pure bred animals when there are fabulous cats just sitting, waiting.

Might as well adopt a kid.

except eventually kids learn how to clean up their own poo.
