I'll credit some nameless patient dude with an adze 175 years ago. I just caught it before it fell.

The rest of the frame just sprang back... wood is good.

Those are billable hours, right?

Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta my hat.

Actually no, but you knew that already.

I just found out that a friend of mine has SLL -- a variant of the same blood cancer that killed my dad.

My friend is 30 years old.

less in the upsetting and more in the fucking annoying category: my sister. what a bitch. totally self-obsessed and manupulative to the point where even the kids can see it. Whines all the time (true brit) but even more annoyingly, can't do it nicely.

towards the end of a long road: beest and I are talking normally in the family room in the villa -business, not just chitter chatter -I was asked to submit a job app tonight we were firming up the content.... it's a little after midnight, so perhaps we should have started to hit a whisper..... she just hauled her bedroom door open and looking pained made out like we'd danced on her grave at 200 decibels and set her daughter on fire or something. If it's the third time you've had to ask us or 4am, fine... but it's midnight, on vac, in florida and we ain't holding a goddamn party!

btw, she's younger than me (yes, it is possible)

Pete Zicato · 02-24-2010, 09:34 AM

On a vacation like yours, this sort of thing is inevitable. Too little sleep, a lot more exercise than usual. Not that I'm excusing her behavior, but it is understandable.

Plus there's the rule, you know, that little sisters are required to be insufferably annoying.

monster · 02-24-2010, 09:07 PM

My mom is moving to my town. Urgh.
I can barely stand her 2,250 miles away -- how the hell am I supposed to deal with her within striking distance?

Expect more (venting) posts from me.

monster · 02-24-2010, 10:14 PM

I'm gonna start the laundry in a few minutes.....

(I do have permission though.... we got brownie points for realizing their daughter would be in bed when we came in and instructing our kids to be quiet)
