What Are You Doing?

Oh no!

Lol I couldn't get the url, for some reason

It is nice though, isn't it?

 

Looks pretty fancy, but I think a silly panda works best for me! I guess I'm just not refined enough yet.

 

How do you feel about monkeys?

 

Squishing monkey brains with your feet?

 

It seems cruel, I know. But it's ever so warm

 

Movie time. Time to see how the Midway remake turns out.

 

Reviewing musical modes. Dorian, Phrygian, Mixolydian, and so forth. I am doing this to avoid NaNoWriMo work. Also, there's a football game on - bonus procrastination! Ah, the dulcet tones of Al Michaels and the nasal whine of Cris Collinsworth, sing to me of back-shoulder throws and two-point conversions! I will drift into the arms of Morpheus presently ...

 

I feel attacked.

The shoe fits.

Oh God. Oh no.

 

Had a military filled Marine Corps birthday. Toured a Naval transport ship, hung out with some Marines on artillery and tanks, and watched the Midway film (not as great as the originals). Overall a fairly decent afternoon and evening. Unfortunately have to work Veteran's Day tomorrow, but I may just try to do stuff from home and schedule San Diego/Irvine work for later in the week. I still want to semi-enjoy a three day weekend.

 

It took me a while to find an anime meme that I thought was tame enough to be forum-appropriate.

I'm saying that six-shots-deep.

Issue me a cease and desist order if this is too racy. Just trying to be self-deprecating.

Spoiler

 

I'd ask what your NaNoWriMo name is so I could buddy up with you, but the interaction level over there seems to be nil.

 

I was one degree away from Kevin Bacon for awhile in the 1970s . . . lived a block or two away from his dad and mom on Locust Street in Philly. Not that I ever called on them, even though Edmund Bacon was a city planner whose work I greatly admired. I had no guts in those post-college days whatsoever.

 

I’ve searched extensively for the meaning of those two words (cuppist and calise) and neither make sense in this context. ‘Cuppist’, for whatever reason, gives me the definition for ‘support’ and the word ‘calise’ appears not to exist.

 

Cuppist as in pro cup (or more importantly, anti-mug) and calice as in the French cuss word which translates literally to chalice.

 

Ah, sorry. It was 07:30 when I read it. Who’s awake at that time? You can still taste the toothpaste.

 

Contemplating whether or not to end the looming day with the last jolt of Woodford Reserve quality bourbon, or to start an infinity bottle with it. I suppose I do have tequila but it's not the season for it and I don't care for Tequila. I do have some wine left. Gods, why do my posts in this thread out me as an alcoholic, when I swear I'm not. Cold weather=Bad back, encase anyone wants my token excuse.

-SIN

 

Monday mornings. Ah, feels great. Brat is in school and she'll be going back to her dad today - thank Ishtar. Going to write a bit, then I have a sit down with the crew. One of our newbies is stirring up bullshit among my guys and no one is allowed to break the chain.

That sounded dramatic. Basically, it's hard putting together a crew of guys who work happily with each other. Can't have some new Sir-Cuntalot messing that up.

Happy Vets day!

 

Excuse you, I am a classy trash person. I am 99.999% probably positive I’ve never had an anime avatar.

It’s Pre-Raphaelite Paintings and selfies all the way. Maybe a few photos of landscape from my phone, very likely gender neutral.


This is not to say I am above anime/manga, because I am 100% a cosplay person even though I haven’t cosplayed anything new in a year or seen a new series in several. My geek cred is in question; they may demand my card back. People are going to start quizzing me again on pointless trivia to determine if I’m a real nerd. Oh no. Oh no no no no no.

I'm wondering this myself. I fall in odd between zones. On one hand, I work on transmission electron microscopes, and have a large and growing Halo collection (which includes a ring I wear daily and a tattoo). But on the other hand I was a sports kid, a hard partier, and eventually a leader in the Marines. I would say I'm quite the nerd, but many core aspects of myself aren't.

I find the classification of nerd applies to everyone in some way. I think it has to do more with how passionate you are about something. A hockey nerd would know all the specs and names of each team and members, while a WW2 history nerd could identify the topography of each landscape in each major battle.

 

Lunch. Newbie fell in line, we'll see if it stays that way....

Cousin is in the city. Here to show off that uniform. We're going to meet up later for drinks. I should treat him, considering the day, but he'll just get annoyed. Stubborn ass.

I think dinner tonight will be whatever the hell the bar is serving. So most likely a cheeseburger and curry fries.
