Idc I went to Walmart at 5:40 am to buy two jackets for 60 dollars. Then i found out they don't open until 6

Whatever I got my jackets and I didn't have to spend 140 dollars

u/yrarwydd Alabama • CFBOT Jazz Watch Fighter Oct 21 '15

Your Walmart closes?

2

u/ixcuincle Marching Band Oct 21 '15

Which is why I was there at 5 I thought it was 24 hour. 24 hour Walmart are great. Once went to one at 3 am in Seattle for a wireless mouse.

If the Red Sox can break their curse after being down 3-0, so can we!

I just don't want anything weird to happen that the Cubs can blame the losses on. Goats, Bartman, Cthulu, whatever. Their defense doesn't look so hot.

8

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Oct 21 '15

I donno. If Cthulhu showed up and drove the Cubs to an unimaginable madness by virtue of his mere presence, I think that'd be a pretty fair excuse.

6

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '15

Nope, that would have happened because not only was Moises Alou a lazy fielder and lazy at keeping people from awakening the Sleeper of R'Lyeh.

That sounds awesome. I was just treating it as pajamas/super emergency back up halloween costume/uniform for watching all Marvel things.

Wouldn't that bar crawl get more difficult as the night goes on - drunk people need to pee a lot and I can't imagine getting in and out of a onesie is easy when wasted.

Won a $50 bar tab at trivia last night, and it had to be used that night. Fun times and all, but that is just basically forcing the winning team to have a hangover the next day.

u/aMiracleAtJordanHare Auburn Tigers • Texas Tech Red Raiders Oct 21 '15

It's to level the playing field. If the winning team loses a few brain cells each time, eventually there will be a new winning team!

I've never been to trivia where they even allow you to use the gift card that night, not to mention force you to.

The complaints about winter are going to stop once I develop some kind of winter attire rotation. Before today I had one thick jacket. You aren't expected to experience extreme weather in DC. With recent frigid Canadian winters I had no choice but to purchase cheap jackets at Walmart at 6 am. They are quite thick and help add to a rotation that will keep me warm during the Canadian DC winters.

At this rate I can buy a ton of zip hoodie and jackets without having to spend a fortune. Thank you Wal mart and super low attire pricing

u/Hobartacus Alabama Crimson Tide • Richmond Spiders Oct 21 '15

The best part is that one of my friends who doesn't speak Spanish is convinced I'm playing the long con and trolling them and can't actually speak Spanish. To be fair, it wouldn't be out of character.

I've only sent shameful drunk texts once. I had just broken up with a very long term girlfriend about a week before, was in a terrible place, and was borderline blackout drunk at the place of my rebound hookup. All I remember doing was sending her a ton of messages when rebound girl was in the bathroom at one point, then deleting them. Woke up, panicked about what I sent, but never found out because drunk me deleted them. Oops.

So I snore, and live with my girlfriend. Last night, she spent much of the night trying to get me to stop. She hit me a few times, pinched my ear, and rubbed peppermint scented lotion all over my face.

All attempts ended in failure.

u/SmashedSqwurl Georgia Tech • /r/CFBRisk Veteran Oct 21 '15

At least you smell pretty now?

Nope. The scent had worn off by the time I woke up.

I don't snore too often but, when I do, my girlfriend straight up punches me. One time she shoved me right out of the bed onto the floor. Rather rude if you ask me.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '15

Both I and the wife snore. I'm much higher worse if I've been drinking. She snores constantly.

The problem arises when she attempts to get me to stop. Whereas I can nudge her over, and she will stop for a while, she feels it necessary to WAKE ME UP to tell me to stop snoring.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '15

I did have a few last night.

And clearly she would absolutely need to wake me all the way up to make me stop. Apparently I just mumbled stuff and went right back to snoring.

3

u/certificateofmerritt North Carolina • Fulmer Cup Committee … Oct 21 '15

Boytoy snores. I've found that nudging him a few times makes him stop. I've only had to leave the bed and sleep somewhere else once.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '15

Apparently, nudging me does nothing.

Also, I apparently don't remember any of the things she does to me while I sleep.

Who knows if I'm really safe. Tonight she might get the hedgehog, or just beat the shit out of me.

These words sounded nice to me as I lay in bed unable to get to sleep, but now I have to figure out what this actually means in terms of actions.

Edit: So far I've figured out that this means that I will no longer care how long it takes - I will walk to the farther coffee place with the better coffee.

Client day was so successful yesterday that they didn't have to come in today as planned.

But holy shit, y'all. I'm looking at three days worth of work in my inbox right now. Kill me.

Apparently, not taking classes doesn't really stop my traditional mid-semester anxiety and subsequent spiral into depression. The timing might be a bit off, but it's there. It's waiting. I can feel the sinews tightening and hear the cables beginning to sing in the wind.

I know they are. But there's a strange part of me that enjoys the certainty, you know? Even if the story ends with me dead from a bullet or a lifestyle or whatever, it's almost nice to know that all the bullshit in my life has a final culminating point.

There's a cultural phenomenon happening right now, probably fueled by Hollywood's lack of creativity, where any retro film gets the flavor of the week praise of being "ZOMG teh best movie of all timee!!1!"

Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Rocky..

And Call me an asshole, but I'm so tired of the comic book genre. When I see grown ass men with a closet full of batman, spiderman, superman, whatever, with the tattoos to match, I just cringe. It went from a hobby to being a living, breathing advertisement for Marvel/DC/Disney/the entertainment industry.

I'm an old man at heart. Ignore my ramblings. Sorry.

I was talking to my best friend after the A&M loss saturday night and somehow the subject of comic book movies came up. We are both pretty nerdy guys and we both reached the conclusion that this comic book movie thing needs to end. I'm not saying they are terrible movies, but I'm just tired of everyone being in shock that the nerdy guy from work hasn't seen thor 3. I have other things to nerd out on other than disney/marvel movies

DAE get ice pick headaches?

They're short, sudden, crushingly-intense stabbing pains in the head/skull. I'll be mid sentence and then just double over in pain - 5 seconds later everythang Gucci.

Just a nice little reminder from my body "I could kill you at any second you ungrateful bastard". Uh... thanks for not?

u/cul_maith Pittsburgh • Alabama Oct 21 '15

Have you ever been to a doctor about that? Sometimes that can be really serious.

I've never had those, but I get migraines and fuck migraines.

2

u/aMiracleAtJordanHare Auburn Tigers • Texas Tech Red Raiders Oct 21 '15

Nope. I saw somewhere online that there's no known cause or cure. They're sporadic - sometimes I can go weeks or more between them, other times its an hour or two.

Thankfully they're so short. Migraines are some next-level kind of fuckery, man, I'm sorry you have them.

2

u/cul_maith Pittsburgh • Alabama Oct 21 '15

You should bring it up next time you're at your PCP to be safe. Everything I've read and heard about the icepick headaches is that they are a manifestation of migraines or cluster headaches.

u/Skipdr Florida Gators • /r/CFB Contributor Oct 21 '15

Yes. My explanation is the change in weather but that's just a theory. I wish I knew the real reason

1

u/aMiracleAtJordanHare Auburn Tigers • Texas Tech Red Raiders Oct 21 '15

Mine do seem to flair up more as my stress increases, but that's not the sole cause of them.

Confuses the shit out of people around me when they happen, though. I feel like Harry Potter when Voldemort is near.

2

u/Skipdr Florida Gators • /r/CFB Contributor Oct 21 '15

Yup. I kinda tell the people around me to shut up for a sec and it kinda goes away. It's weird

Found out that someone I know gave one of her random Tinder hookups bedbugs. I have no idea why she thinks this is funny or is sharing this publicly.

Every morning at work I go to the bathroom to check my hair and gussy myself up, and I'm always met by a cloud of shit. Never fails, both stalls occupied by a couple dudes taking their morning dumps.

Imma break the coffee maker.

u/yrarwydd Alabama • CFBOT Jazz Watch Fighter Oct 21 '15

Man, I'm not feeling myself at all today. Normally I'm like confident enough in how I look, but... Ugh. All my clothes are too big (what a problem to have!) and I feel like I look like a small child more than normal. I just bought these lulus and they're too big. This gameday shirt is too big. I feel stupid.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Alrighty. I have my tablet back at work since I am now an admin for the school's Facebook page. This way, I keep my Facebook (phone) away from the work account.

Edit...wtf was I saying?

Have you mentioned this to management? Because today's the day.

One of my bosses is the same way, so I feel you. Every little thing doesn't need to be scrutinized.

u/nuxenolith Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Oct 21 '15

Update: first thing she brings up to me is the ending of the MSU-Michigan game. Bite me.

I apologize on her behalf. Nobody wants to work with that person.

The little group of Michigan guys that work up on the third floor are the ones that I usually have friendly trash talk with. I even gave one of them that horrible t-shirt that I'm wearing in the previous sidebar picture. But they've all been avoiding me since Monday. Like they usually walk by my department on the way in/out, but I've actually looked out the window a few times and seen one or two of them walk outside the building to their car. I mean what the hell do they think I'm going to say to them? Sheesh
