Hash pipe (and buddy holly) was the song by them I liked but I just can't handle there sound anymore. Darn you Beverly hills and the media for playing a song into the dirt!
AND DARN YOU CLOTHS HOW DARE YOU RESTRICT ME!
Did you just write random letter and change them just enough to make them look like names?
Except Dan Smith. I have heard of him.

Ibrahim Moizoos is from my Alma mater
Also I don't want to be that guy but a lot of those guys look a lot alike.
That I went to UTC? I mean it wasn't terrible. they need to work on there parking lot that is just a mess.
And none of them (or from the two more sketches they did like this) were from my alma mater. Of course, I went to a university that doesn't have a football team, so that isn't too surprising.
Yeah I think I see the reasoning in there.

I'm having a stupid day. I got to work, realized I left my office laptop at home, then went back home to get it.
...And then forgot it a second time. {:o
My uncle took my Dad's passport after the San Diego bag check then said my Dad was getting absent-minded for losing his passport. My Dad went back to security and had to view the CCTV clips to find out my uncle took his passport by mistake. Good thing we were early for that flight. Not to mention my uncle went off by himself to collect baggage when there was no baggage to collect and we had to search for him. Talk about stupid days. Good thing the connecting flight was 3h away.

Yes same. Say hi to dead relatives and keep the demons at bay.

I think we're just going trick or treating.
Oh... that is fun too.

And speaking of being Lawful and frustrated...
As I think I mentioned, thanks to our Halloween construction our curb is a No Parking zone from 8 am - 5 pm all this week. Needless to say, last night when I tried to put the Prius in front of the house at 5:10 pm, a big black SUV was already in "our" spot.
They haven't moved since. The construction guys showed up and are having to work around the vehicle. By 9:30 am, since they hadn't called the cops yet, I did.
And the officer didn't even bother taking my address. "Yeah, parking enforcement isn't in yet..."
So why the **** do we have no parking signs up and down our block to provide room for the construction people if they're not going to be enforced, and people are just going to ignore them?CY, wanna take a quick trip to Albany and "accidentally" ding an SUV with a mini-bobcat?
No parking enforcement, huh? Means they probably won't deal with petty vandalism that might happen in the dead of night from - hey, let's say random teens?
Sugar in gas tank
Slice of bologna on roof of the car in a warm day
Potato in the tail pipe
Keys writing "no parking a%%+@~%" on the side
Slash 3/4 tires (I remember reading somewhere that insurance only covers 1 unless all 4 are busted)
Antennae popping
Egging the s*@+ out of it
Duct-taping a raw fish to the undercarriage to make them wonder where the hell the smell is coming from*whistles innocently*
Kiwis also make great chemical warfare. They basically get rotten on the inside first, then they burst.

This is important to know. With kitties its a trap. With doggos its their heaven. The rest is inbetween.

I need to have kids just so I have an excuse to trick or treat again. My mom was super weird about it so I really only probably got to go 4 times in my life. the last one was with friends and we didn't tell her. (we were for sure to old but they felt it was wrong that I didn't get too since I was to little to remember.)

Oh, my parents let us trick-or-treat, but then were of the "Uber paranoid, there are bad guys looking to poison kids on every street corner" school, so post-trick or treating we'd have to submit our candy for "inspection", at which point my parents would throw out 1/3 to 1/2 of our haul.
What's really interesting is that I have a very vivid memory of my older brother finding a razor blade in a Butterfinger bar. I remember being at the table. I remember my reaction, his reaction, and my mother's reaction. But neither he nor my mother remember it, and it's not the kind of thing one would forget, so it's either a false memory or a memory of a dream. But it seems so utterly real to me that I was convinced it had happened for many years until I talked about it with the two of them. Just goes to show: What you remember isn't necessarily what really happened. Which is why eyewitness testimony isn't nearly as reliable as people would like to believe. (I LOVED the one study I read where they had 5 different people view the same event and got 5 factually different stories.)
Anyway, work!
This is our first Halloween at the new home, no idea how many we're going to get. There must be plenty of sugar-hungry little chillens in the neiborhood, but we are in the far corner of it...
I never get any Trick-or-Treaters around my apartment complex, so I'm not even bothering this year.

He told them he lost it during the bag search so after they checked all the trays and found nothing, they took him to the CCTV clips to try to help him find his passport.

At my parents' house we routinely got 250-300 a night. Our first year back here no one was doing Halloween so we got maybe 12. Word spread that we give out full-sized candy bars so the next year we got around 30. Then other people on the street started joining in and we're up to 60-70. But this year the sidewalk is closed. We'll see how hard that impacts us.

SUV's in the construction zone again today. Hopefully the workers'll need the space. I know they told me that tomorrow they'll be bringing in the concrete truck and they'll need the space cleared, so I have that to look forward to.

Complain all you want about the modern "all digital all the time" generation, but it has its perks.
Impus Major mentioned that he really wanted a keyboard to practice/compose on. Since I was going to Target anyway, I picked one up for him.
Within an hour of him taking interest in it, he had it set up, had figured out how to set the sounds he wanted (the usual, "Make each key sound like a piano. Now a trumpet. Now a tuba.") and was cheerfully playing his most obscene Alestorm song (I don't know whether I'm even allowed to link it on FaWtL, but it involves anchors and copulation).
When I was a kid, if someone'd put a piano in front of me before I had lessons I wouldn't have been able to do diddly-squat. Watching Impus Major playing full songs within an hour of opening it was... daunting...

So, just how bad is public transportation in the Bay Area?
The kids wanted to go to a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in San Francisco tonight.
I did not stop it because they would be out after midnight on a school night. I did not stop it because they were going to be in downtown San Francisco in the wee hours of the morning, and that might be dangerous. I stopped it because they were planning on taking BART after dark to get there.
This article is a fantastic statement on the current state of BART: A guy threatened to dismember a fellow passenger with a pair of chainsaws, and most other passengers said it's not even the worst thing they'd seen THAT WEEK.
BART. It's only for Danger Seekers. (Caveat: Contains racist language)
Half my seniors are gone today, and since I was giving them a workday anyway, I'm just letting them play Clue.

Impus major is musically talented? I mean I got training but not much talent, definitely not of the wing it kind.

Came up just about 100 short of rent after everything.
Family member to the rescue. Again.
A large part of me wants to be bitter that I had to have so much help this month, but it's good to know we had it when needed. So I'm grateful despite the misfortune involved.
The company that called back about a job before called again. I thought it was a good sign until I realized the last person I spoke to just forgot to save my info for HR so it was essentially the same phone interview.
What kind of critter are you?
Hmmm...
Got the laziness and sadistic nature of a cat...But the clinginess and attention seeking nature of a dog...
So a miniture bear?
or a particularly lazy marten or (least) weasel?
This is important to know. With kitties its a trap. With doggos its their heaven. The rest is inbetween.
I promise I won't bite!
Might playfully nuzzle your hand though...Hey, I make a decent history student if I put my mind to it. I can remember dates and events pretty well. And that's my country's history.
*Gives Mort another pat'n'scratch on her head*
pebbles loved having her tummy rubbed so long as it was with my foot.
My parents cat - Oscar the (former) Orc-kitty - does not mind belly rubs...then again he's a strange kitty.
Edit:
Oh almost forgot...
Happy Halloween FaWtLer's
Its not that much of a thing up here...
So I'm not in costume...at least not any more then usual, as I'm currently looking like a feverish sweating mucus dripping moaning zombie scuffling around in my apartment.

So, I know lisamarlene will gasp at this statement, but there is indeed such a thing as being TOO nice.
The workers are here, with a massive truck full of dirt and some heavy equipment. Yet again, they're doing their damnedest to work around the SUV, in spite of the fact that today it's clearly in the way.
And in spite of the fact that it's now been parked in a clearly-marked construction zone for 40 hours solid.
Tow the d***ed car already, guys! The owner has certainly earned it.
EDIT: Yep. As I was writing this, they just had to move the truck that was blocking my driveway to make way for the mini-bobcat to use my driveway. The truck was blocking my driveway because the SUV is in the space in front of my house that it would be using.
Why don't I call the cops again?
Because if they didn't bother yesterday, they're not going to bother today. *SIGH*

LOL.
But no, really. If you think about it, in the two weeks I've known her she's:
- Misjudged the size of the moving van she was in, and instead of overcompensating (which is what most people do), undercompensated and clipped my car
- Parked in a no-parking construction zone for 40 hours without noticing! Seriously -- I saw her reaction this morning! She honestly didn't know she was in a construction zone. Considering that yesterday on my way out the door she and I were standing right in front of her car and one of the signs, that's a terrifying lack of situational awareness.
So think about it: In two separate incidents in the course of two weeks, this woman has demonstrated an appalling lack of awareness of her surroundings, especially when driving.
Do you really want someone like that driving up and down a narrow residential street with a lot of kids and pets roaming the streets?
