What is point of being nekkid when wife is away, anyway?
But at least I have my coffee, and confirmation via secondary avenues that my job in Japan will be able to consist of at least 11 hour shifts! Woohoo!!!
Okay you're gonna have to explain how this is a good thing. (or bludgeon me with caffeine if it's supposed to be sarcasm)
~curses~ I hate both being a nice guy and being behind on bills.

Well, I just made myself get up early for the sole purpose of walking a mile to play on a swingset.
And then some lady with a stroller walked up and asked me why I wasn't in school.

~grins~ You look that young?
Apparently. At least the middle school seems to have stopped asking me for hall passes.
Somehow I've been to more rock concerts than many die-hard Fawtly rock fans? Odd.
I was just recollecting the time a friend dragged me to a Lifehouse concert. She had a friend working the concert who was going to get her in for free, but she didn't want to go alone. "But all I know about Lifehouse is the song 'Hanging by a Moment'," I said. "That's all anyone knows," she said. And she was right.
I'm almost sure I have everyone here beat with regard to attendance.
Would have gone to a Nightwish concert a year later at a much bigger, nicer theatre, but my boss screwed up on the paperwork and I didn't get paid that week and thus couldn't get tickets before the deadline.
Seeing them this Friday. Didn't have my usual connections so I had to cough up the green. <wince> Procured it last Friday.
But they've never performed in Columbus before and they also have Kamelot with them.
Still trying to talk my sole metalhead relative into going with me to that. Not looking likely.

Dear CH's Boss,
I appreciate your guidance in prioritizing my outstanding workload. It is certainly helpful to know what, from a management perspective, is considered a priority.
That said, when you label everything a priority, this prioritization ceases to be useful.
Yours,
Winged One
I strongly dislike crowds and large group events in general. And while I love good music I hate lack of control over the sound volume. For me, listening to music is private affair between me and my computer. For this I love my laptop for having speakers set so the sound is just right in the front while being unheard from beyond my room (also, I listen to the music on much lower volume than most people I know - I never understood the want of some people to play music that it is hear outside their flats/cars... truly barbaric intrusion on others privacy).
Not all concerts have to be about crowds and large group events. There are a number of shows I've seen in small clubs by (inter)national acts (although they're not necessarily mainstream) where the mood was a bit more personal and/or intimate. Some of the best shows I've seen are by acts that have not hit the popular psyche and/or are a couple tiers away from breaking out that they have ended up being some of the better shows I've seen in my lifetime.
Poland, as well as France as of late, has been a hotbed for up & coming avant-garde metal bands within different genres.
*cracks the whip* Back to work, flyboy! Follow the priorities instead of complaining!

But I prioritized complaining.
I love concerts
hm, let me think:
7 or 8 times Maiden, 6-7 Motorhead, Saxon, Skyclad
2-3 times slayer, Black Sabbath, Die Toten Hosen, Anthrax, AcceptThe Dubliners, Battlefield Band, Paddy goes to Holyhead, REM, Dio, Amon Amarth
Once: Deep Purple, AcDc, Green Day, Elton John, Rammstein, Marylin Manson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallicaand countless small o tiny concerts
I have never seen Skyclad. I wish I had seen them when Martin Walkyier was still in the band. One of the best lyricists, bar none.
I know God isn't done with me yet. Just saying.
That and I'm replacing the brakes pads and rotors on my car this week.
Fun, fun, Fun.

Asmodeus? Zon-Kuthon? Rovagug?

Sounds like you've had a rough weekend. Glad to hear you're okay though.

All three.

The weekend was dull. I need to game online now that I have campaign cartographer software up and running. I'm crossing my fingers for Thursday. I'll know by then. My interviews was good. Personal information goes into the standard background check and then its orientation.
Purloined from my Facebook account:
"Hitting the street in a day or two to do break work on the Shark. We have pads and rotors, we have a jack, maybe two. We need a 12mm and 18 mm wrenches and will talk to the neighbor shortly. I have patience and the best YouTube instruction manual in the world. Wish us luck."
I finally saw Reservoir Dogs last night on Netflixs.
What a fantastically violent movie. Were they dumb or what?
Five pigeons in a row? Feels like I'm in a shooting gallery...
Don't tell Aberzombie. I know he like guns.
Dangit,...
We had our daughter's B-day party this weekend, complete with a house full of overnight family guests, which included 4 hyperactive boys (Including my own)
I woke up this morning to discover I have missed my weekend?!?!
<sigh>
I'm gonna need more coffee,...
Yeah... I've got nuthin'
Don't tell Aberzombie. I know he like guns.Are you a tasty squab, or one of those filthy New York City pigeons that no one would touch, let alone eat? Inquiring (hungry) minds want to know.
He'd better not be one of them stool pigeons.
That's,... funny?
I think?
My funny bone is broken. :(
How did that happen. I hope it heals well.

It wasn't me. In fact, I weren't even where it happened. And I've got plenty of friends who can testify to that fact if they know what's good for them.
Today's food experiment (brought on by nearly-emptied store) - minced meat with chopped-up mushrooms, some "tex-mex sauce," a good dollop of chili sauce, and spiced with salt, black pepper and basil. Served with... spaghetti, apparently.
Holy crap, I just taught my uncoordinated self to use chopsticks!
Too much effort, back to the fork!
I would do it for a living if I could. Jury duty, that is.Depends on the case. I felt the same way, until I sat on a child sex abuse jury.
I would do it again, as long as it didn't mean listening to what daddy did when he was drunk.
:(
I spent an entire month on Grand Jury Duty earlier this year. On the up side, we just had to determine whether there was enough evidence to go forward with a trial. On the downside, it was the Grand Jury that dealt primarily with sex crimes (though we did have a few other types of crimes-- theft, homicide, burglary, straight up assault). Mostly, though, it was a month of listening to women and children talk about the horrible things men have done to them. The world looked like a truly ugly place during that time. (And this comes from someone who has, at various points in the past, devoted a lot of volunteer hours to victims' advocacy groups, rape crisis centers, and domestic violence crisis centers. This was worse.)

I guess I have been very very lucky today:
I was only a few miles from home, so I drove home and called the police from there, the policeman informed me that in theorie I just commited hit and run but did not press it ( luck no two)
2 police officers came to inspect my car because they did not found any significant damge on the guardrail (luck three, nothing to pay there)
they asked me what happend, I told truthfully, the officer looked at me and said: "please think again, a microsleep is a crime and will cost you the drivers licence, so pleas think, did you fell asleep or where you just distracted?"
answer me: " um, I was distrected, I guess"
policeman: "very well, I will write " was looking at the radio" in my report, please sign here and be more carefull next time"
the german Polizei proofed true to their moto today:
"The Police, your friend and helper"
the bad part, whole side of car severly scratcheda few thousand euro damage I guess, the car is not even 2 years old, but concidering everything, I will not complain about that :-/

(a)The longer the shifts, the better the chances are that we'll finish the inspection on time.
(b) The longer the shifts, the more overtime I get.
That could have been much worse. What kind of car.
