Haven't you been married less than a year?

What is it with mothers and grandbabies. Patience, people.

My mother has been talking about grandchildren since September, when I came home for a few days. I have never even had a serious boyfriend. I do not graduate for another three years. And, anyway, she already has FOUR.

My family stopped pressuring me about grandchildren after my younger brother had one out of wedlock and then messily split up with the lady. I win!

I went over to my friend's house tonight and she made me pizza. I also did some chemistry today, so that's good.

Tomorrow, I am going to go see an ABBA cover band. psst..Andy you should come too.

Oh dang I haven't posted here since my interview yet have I?

I got the job! Yay!

It's part time though

I do not remember applying for that at all, why would I apply for a part time job? Anyway, it's not perfect but it is regular work and now I will be able to pay my rent and buy food sometimes! I am probably not going home! This is all good! And it's not like I can't keep looking for full-time work in the meantime, and now without massive amounts of pressure, from within and without (sometimes it is difficult travelling with yr significant other, because if I go broke and have to go home I am leaving her in the lurch as well).

Me neither, which makes me lucky, because my mom has the sense to not bother me about babies. (I am an only child, fyi.) So instead she bothers me about when am I ever going to have a boyfriend instead, but only every once in a while. She hasn't since before the last time I dated anyone.

McTaggart · « **Reply #1910 on:** 03 Dec 2010, 22:39 »

This past week I have spent ~$25 on food for myself and ~$250 on medicine and vet fees for my cat. I only had like $300!

JD · « **Reply #1911 on:** 03 Dec 2010, 22:42 »

Will the cat ever be able to play the piano again?

McTaggart · « **Reply #1912 on:** 03 Dec 2010, 23:03 »

God I hope so.

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1913 on:** 04 Dec 2010, 00:43 »

I did that two weeks ago. I spent another $110 on more things today - flea control medicine, a flea repellent spray for fabrics (flea bites are AWFUL, thanks Tiger, I don't know how you got fleas but thankYOU), a spray to remove urine smells and pheromones, and a spray to deter her from going into certain rooms. Why did you have to wee on things, cat, why did you do it. I wanted that money.

In other news I'm really hungry (but I don't want to spend any money). I also need something healthy because I have eaten pizza the last two and a half days.

Well. The #1 room we don't want her to go in is the basement, which doesn't have a door or even a door frame. We're illegally turning it into a bedroom so we can get another housemate.

Moral of the story:

Cats are expensive bitches.

You'd fly me out, all expenses paid, and I would produce your record otherwise free of charge. Long as you put my name on the sleeve for doing so.

I suspect the answering machine message of one of my friends to be in Dothraki or Na'vi. I'm not sure which.

It's snowing!

This is important because about 2 weeks ago, it was in the 70s.

Maybe, if you like soggy ankles.

Today is a good day. Woke up late, went for a quick breakfast with my girlfriend, read poetry at home, went for a walk, bought a couple bagels and ate them with cream cheese while I walked, poked around the Drawn & Quarterly store, read some more, and now I'm drinking beer and debating watching a movie. Plus, party at a friend's in a couple hours.

Still have some exams to worry about, but now that papers are over, I really am quite care-free.

Whoa awesome. I've tweeted at Lucy knisley and jess fink and had replies, but an email is a bigger deal.
Funny how I sort of idolise cartoonists. I never really wanted to be one, although I did have one or two ill-fated ideas for a webcomic years ago.

i've actually had a comic pretty much ready to go for pocketjury ever since it was announced but hey, it's still not up, surprise surprise

Lunchbox · « **Reply #1927 on:** 04 Dec 2010, 18:31 »

No it is okay. They were terrible ideas. I think the best one was a comic called 'Cheese Joe' for whatever reason, about two kids in medieval times who solve mysteries. I tried drawing it and gave up after one full-colour panel.

So I was super excited to see an ABBA cover band show tonight. It was advertised as starting at 11. Apparently, it finished at 11. Not impressed right now.

There's the story (that dates back to at least when AOL was a thing) about a woman who thought it translated to "Lots of Love".

So when her friend posted that her mother had died, she replied "My condolences. LOL."

Today on the bus a talkative stranger guessed my age at 38.
When I told him I was actually 25, he squinted and said I had a 'Mature look about me.'
He also decided that my 21 year old roommate was my daughter.
Flattery!

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #1940 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 01:52 »

That is bizarre. He had to have been trying to hit on your roommate.

I've been doing more and more comedy lately. I'm nearly done with the core classes at Upright Citizens Brigade, and I'm auditioning for one of their house Harold improv teams on Friday. Party time!

Lines · « **Reply #1941 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 06:49 »

I'm glad he thought you had a kid at 17! Unless he said that after you told him you were 25, then that is even more messed up.

Blog thread,

I'm kinda hungover right now. Our company holiday party was last night. I was having a good time dancing and chatting up this girl in my department, but when the time came for her to leave, I (now realizing this was very wise) decided to stay behind with some friends.

We ended up catching this ancient, yet amazing jazz band in the hotel's restaurant, and then later made our way to a different bar in town, where we almost got in a good old-fashioned brawl with some douchebags because of a cardboard box. I wish I was making that up, but it happened.

It was a great night. I'm glad I took the tactical cockblock.

This video is currently prominently displayed on the front page of my uni's website. Inspiring, isn't it? I guess I should be glad it isn't this video instead. But maybe not, cause I'm not sure which is worse. I can't believe that no one at any time during the making and distribution of those said "Nope. We're not gonna do this."

Ugh, it's 4AM, I should be sleeping so that I can get up early tomorrow to study, but nope. Not happening. Instead I am watching horribly embarrassing videos that I'm sure were meant not to be embarrassing and reading about medians and order statistics :/

My friend Jeff has been a motorcycle enthusiast for years and years but has never been able to afford his own bike. However, he has been saving up, and two days ago he went out and bought one. Nobody heard from him for a bit after that, and after about 12 or so hours, his wife went looking for him.

Turns out, he was in the ICU for a day before she found him after a car crash, and his emergency contact info on his insurance records was not updated properly so no one was contacted. He is not breathing on his own, even though there is not a single broken bone or bruise on him. He's responding to stimuli on his right side this evening, which is good because it means his brain is trying to heal itself, but this is going to be hell.

Those are terrible. Terrible. The worst part is that the first video probably was made by people who saw Symphony of Science, and thought "we can do that!".

No you can't.

Wait, should that be doppelJodie?
