oh boy, and after all

Maybe you thought I had a manic episode when I was announcing my epic weekend ahead. Well ... I wasn't. Let me rehash the weekend.

After work on Thursday, I headed South. I stopped at my parent's house, ate Chinese (food), then head down to the beach. As I noted in my post pre-Chinese (food), I was pumped up in the car by listening to Porno for Pyro's "Freeway" nearly one hundred times. I get off the Garden State Parkway at exit 69 instead of 63 because I was craving Wawa gas, and figured I'd get a 20oz of coffee. I get my coffee, and my gas (in the opposite order) and make my some miles further southwest, over the bridge and to 94th street. I arrived, opened a can of beer to accompany my java, finished my coffee, played a couple quick video games, sat on the couch, and fell asleep for approximately 11 hours.

New Year's Eve day I woke up around 10 (I went to bed around 11pm the night before), blah blah blah, went to the hud and crashed by 1am.

New Year's day, woke up at six and headed to work. Got to work at 8, stayed till 4. Went home for an hour, and headed back down to the beach. I left around 5:30 (or 17:30 if you're a nimrod), got there around 8, had 8 or 10 homemade clams casino, sat on the couch to watch the Pitt-Utah game, and passed out before the first quarter was over. Rinse and repeat.

Sunday morning I woke up, had a coffee, watched football all day. Went to the bar, watched football, went back to Josh's, watched football, then watched "Brazil," and went to bed. Woke up Monday at six, headed north, etc.

Yesterday I picked up a new game, Queen live a Wembley DVD for $9.99, Peter Gabriel live DVD for $9.99, some blank DVDs (none of your business) and went home and sat on the couch for 9 hours and six beers.

And here we are...



I hate how I can't find my checkbook while things are pending/late/due.

I hate the word macabre, and how I can't use the word moribund, either, in more colloquial settings.

Same with assonance, I hate how I can't say assonance in public.

I hate workplaces that try to be demure but are so institutional they hate themselves.

I hate cafeteria food. Worse, I hate people that have given up on eating anything else but cafeteria food.

I hate Snapple in a can compared to Snapple in a glass bottle. But I'll still drink it.

I hate CNNs coverage of the tsunami. If you were a nimwit, you'd think that only white people died in the tsunami. The only pictures, stories, and video (except the video of brown people stealing supplies and rations from helicopters) are of white people. They also love talking about how no animals have died ... at least until today when a 737 ran over a water buffalo on a runway.

I hate how I couldn't even make my New Year's resolutions before the new year. I hate how you can't keep your resolutions if you never made any.

I hate how Clint Eastwood fucks everything up.

I hate how Martin Scorcese fucks everything up.

I love how Charlie Kaufman only fucked up a George Clooney movie.

I hate how George Clooney's fucked up two Coen Brothers movies, though John Turturro saved his ass in O Brother. His only redeeming quality is that, according to imdb.com, he played Lip Syncing Transvestite in 1993's The Harvest.

I hate not having a reason for why I hate Julia Roberts. I hate that hating her for the size of her lips is too easy.

I hate how I actually 'had' to buy something in FuncoLand. I hate more the fact that I wanted to buy said something in Best Buy instead.

I hate how I'm leaving work in ten minutes and I'm just now getting on a roll.

I hate Liechtenstein and soft toilet paper.

I hate shoe laces when they get wet, or how my sneakers squeak in the rain.
I hate carrying umbrellas.

I hate how my little Buddha broke his hand ... awww, poor deity.

I hate people who say: respectfully instead of respectively; supposably instead of supposedly; for all intensive purposes instead of for all intents and purposes; irregardless; and unfunny.

I hate how I can't speak farsi, finnish or french.

I hate how I have no time to finish this list right now, and that I'll have the time when I go home, but I'm going to play my new said something instead for over 5 hours.

For anyone who cares: House G.O.P. Voids Rule It Adopted Shielding Leader

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 - Stung by criticism that they were lowering ethical standards, House Republicans on Monday night reversed a rule change that would have allowed a party leader to retain his position even if indicted.
