things that are making you happy - Page 1665

+1 to that. I have a terrible habit of unhatched chicken enumeration, and it's a sure fire way to jinx yourself.

^that sounds like a great trip!


I'm happy that my week-long class (that I'm teaching) starts tomorrow. It's always a lot of work to get ready, but so much fun during. We're spending about half of the week down in the redrock desert in some pretty amazing state and national parks.

In just a few moments, I am going to leave my office and drive to my home. It will be a 35 minute drive or so. Then I will drink some port, and maybe post silly things in the Drunk Post thread, but also maybe not. (This is America, and I am free in that regard.)

I wish I was able to get drunk on just a little port.

Sounds great, where do I sign up?

thank you very much, gents. really appreciate it.

The new KISS record is released tomorrow. (I mean Tuesday; it is Monday now where I live.) I'm enjoying the new single quite a bit.

Congratulations Acid! Our 14th is in...um...9 days.

This is how you do a conference!

Good work.

This - definitely take time out to work up a good sweat.



Is that from scratch? Looks really good!

Yo, what? Some of their breakfast pastries are very satisfying. But it's sure not French baking.

Good luck, but remember the First Rule of Job Prospects.

True conversation from Petco:

Cashier: Hey, how are you doing? It's been a long time since I've seen you!
Me: That is because I haven't been here for a while. [Maybe that wasn't the best response. But as a scholar, my first impulse is to explain the phenomenon in question. I feel that I did so effectively in this case.]
Cashier (smiling): Well, your absence has surely been noticed.

I am happy that someone thought of me enough to miss me, even if it was just the cashier at Petco.

I can think of like 80,000 better responses after-the-fact but damned if I'd come up with any of them when it mattered.

The reason I haven't been there in a while is that they don't carry the bff cat food that both Genevieve and I love. But I didn't want to say that.

I love the bff, by the way, just because of its ridiculously adorable logo.

You friggin' cat people, I will never understand your ilk.


Yes, indeed. Pretty damn delicious.

It's okay to open up about your feelings; no one will judge you. (Well, I won't at least. Probably some other people will.) I am sure your heart is moved by the adorableness of the bff cat food logo. It can't not be.

I decided to push back my flight a day to spend a little more time with some old friends which resulted in my new flight having a 9 hour layover at HKG international airport 12am-9am.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
So I decided to just walk around this whole airport to get some exercise..... if anyone has been to HKIA the place is epic-ly large. I think I did over 2.5miles walking.

I got hungry decided to get some sort of soup meal (ramen/wanton) because its what AZNs do best...but I remembered that AZN McDonalds usually have some weird meal offering....

The EBI burger (shrimp based patty with a sesame based dressing.... with Seaweed shaker fries (they provide a bag and flavor packet and you shake it yourself).





^it was actually pretty good. another weird thing about AZN McDonalds.... everyone just leaves there stuff at the table after eating...then a janitor cleans it up.

I'm really happy that my parents are in good health. My brother and sister were good I spent just enough time with everyone before we started to get sick of each other. I made some decent cash playing poker, and I'll be in JFK by tomorrow. I'm just worried that the fucking loud annoying families at the Cathay Pacific lounge aren't on my flight at 9am.
