Computer Death

Life Update: My faithful computer of 5 years has officially bitten the big one. I am writing this to you from my work computer, so I am not without internet completely. I just only have it 12-5 (or 9-5 depending on the day). I have my old faithful computer patched currently so I can still do work and get emails from it, but lets just say I won't be around much until I get a new one. I may get a new one as early as Friday, I might not get one until after Christmas (which is about as long as this patch is going to hold). I will miss this computer, it got me through grad school, but it was sorely overdue for a new one. I'll be back in action as soon as I can.

Coyote Tits vs. Things I'm Not Thankful For

So I realize I haven't been on much in the last week and I've had some shake-ups in my life which have caused me to actually think about my life. But now that they have worked themselves out, I promise to get back to my usual 2-3 blog posts a week regiment. Because everybody needs a little more Tits in their lives, right?

Anyways with Thanksgiving a week away, I thought I would give you lists of what I am thankful/not thankful for this year.

I Am Thankful For:

• Moving out of my parents
• Getting fired from my waitressing job so that I can focus my time on my writing job
• My writing job (best job I've ever had)
• My obnoxious terriers, because they make my life funny
• The Nip Clique because they get me through everything
• The 70 degree weather we are having in South Carolina

Things I am Not Thankful For: 

• Getting fired from my waitressing job (1st time I've ever been fired from ANY job)
• Justin Bieber
• Chuck being in its final season
• Kim Kardashian still being in the news
• My best friend living on the other side of the country (do you hear me G-Fab?!?)

So what are you not thankful for this year?

Fuck You Daylight Savings Time

It's 8 o'clock in the morning as I am typing this, which is about 2 hours before I normally wake up and 3 hours before I am a functional person. The only reason I am even awake at this time is because of motherfucking daylight savings time (also I have a 9 o'clock conference call but that's a moot point).

Most people love daylight savings time at least in the fall when they get to roll their clocks back and sleep an extra hour. I used to love it too, until my biological clock said fuck this shit I don't care what time you think it is. I know what time it really is. See daylight savings time is a figment of our imaginations. We created it about 70 years ago to save energy. But my biological clock refuses to believe that bullshit anymore and has decided I am going to listen to it instead.

This is true of my dogs too. They have no concept of time; they're dogs. So they go to bed and get up everyday at the same time regardless of what the clock says. So they used to wake me up at 8 am to go out. Now its 7 am. I used to go to bed at midnight, now its 11 o'clock. I'm starting to feel like an old person.

Close Encounters of the Nerdy Kind

So I don't really have too much to say. I've got a lot of outside (the internet) crap going on. I do, however, have some notes of the nerdy kind:

• I started a FB page for my blog. I don't actually think I need it. I just felt like I should have it cause it seems to be what you do with your blog. I don't claim to be a blogging expert on this shit or whatever. But go like me so I don't feel like the last picked in gym class.
• My Friends and I have stumbled across a blog recently where said writer claims to be nerdy. This girl, however, is not nerdy AT ALL. Being a nerd is culture, there are certain things you have to do to be considered a nerd. Doing your homework on a friday night does not make you a nerd. Being able to quote star wars on a daily basis (and the hard lines like "Grand Moff Tarkin, I should have known I would find you holding Vader's leash. I thought I smelled your foul stench when I was brought on-board." Not "Luke, I am your father" which is not actually a real line in the movie anyways.) or getting excited for the release of a book those things make you a nerd. Anyways this particular girl and blog inspired this FB post. 


This particular FB post actually goes on for some time but you get the gist of it. Anyways it inspired me to start "You Know You're a Nerd..." with two of my favorite fellow nerds: Tabs. A Geek and Shelly.
• I'm doing National Novel Writing month this year. I don't expect to even come close to finishing but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm notorious for not being able to finish any novel I have ever started. I'm 2 days in and I haven't even written 1000 words for the story yet. It's not looking good for me, but dammit I tried right?
