Random Rants X: Mraarrrrrrr!!!!!!

What a rotten month. My wife injured her back late in October, so we've been going to the chiropractor twice a week all month, at $20 per visit. Then our stupid, stupid insurance company decided that it is only going to pay for half of my wife's antidepressant medication unless we go through a mail-order pharmacy; her psychiatrist is still trying to get that through his head when he makes out prescriptions. Our gas bill quadrupled this past month because the weather turned cold and our house has terribly inadequate insulation, several single-pane windows and poor seals around said windows and our POS front door. Nobody knows what to get me for Christmas because quite frankly I don't really care beyond getting new windows, doors, insulation, and siding. Thanksgiving was mixed; it started off all right--church was good, lunch at my wife's aunt/uncle/grandmother's house was good apart from her incredibly passive-aggressive aunt, but then dinner at my parents' house was awful. The food was fine, but my mom just can't handle these kinds of things anymore and spent the whole night . .. .. .. .. .ing and moaning and crabbing up a storm.

Then, to top off the whole month, I was cutting up an onion last night and sliced open my right thumb. We didn't have any bandages in the house (thought we did at first), and my wife doesn't drive. You can imagine the brouhaha that followed at the nearby Walgreens. I hope December is more forgiving than this cold, rainy November.
 
I ordered a new 22" Acer on Newegg last night. To my surprise, the order was voided when I checked today. Contacted Newegg rep and they said nothing they could do for out of stock items.... And here I was boasting about the new monitor at work..

sighh...
 
I was doing some unpacking earlier and found my vinyl copies of Thriller and Foxtrot were improperly stored and now they're all warped and unplayable. :mad:

I would have loved to have seen a bleeding man run into Walgreens. "WHERE ARE YOUR BANDAIDS!!!???" :lol:

Sorry, don't mean to lol at your predicament.
 
i suck at Risk....
 
my friggin desk chair, that's less than 2 years old, the damned arm broke off it:mad::mad::mad::mad:

:lol: That was about the size of it, though I did have a bloody paper towel wrapped around it as a stopgap measure and was applying plenty of pressure.

The kicker was that I looked pretty disheveled--three months since my last haircut, two days' worth of shaving stubble, plus I hadn't combed my hair since just before church that morning.
 
I despise the Clone Wars TV show. Also, my Arabic professor informed us that we would have a vocabulary test on all of the words we've learned since the beginning of the semester today, so I studied for a significant segment of the Thanksgiving break for the test. As it happens, the test was made up of a grand total of 14 questions, with an automatic curve of 4. It would have required maybe five minutes of studying. What a waste of time.
 
how often do you comb your hair a day? :lol:

Generally my hair needs one combing per day for each month I let it go without a haircut--when it's short, I can get by with just the one in the morning. When my hair gets to be three months long, it needs combing about three times a day to keep it looking neat. It's annoying, but I haven't the time or money to get it cut every month, and would do an absolute hatchet job of cutting it myself were I to go that route. Twenty dollars every three months seems reasonable, though.
 
The nice three-week grind between Thanksgiving and winter break is here. Hooray for sleepless nights and living in constant states of stress and being fried.
 
I just spent half an hour searching for the cross country team of the school I would have gone to if I hadn't moved four years ago. All I found was that they had a 3.9 combined GPA :mad:
 
Well I just made a fool of myself on MSN. I told a girl who asked me out to go on a beer with her, that I'm involved already and busy with school anyway. She then said she didnt mean it in that way and promptly went offline. Well burn me for a bloody fool. Could have sworn we flirted before and that she thought what I think she was thinking. Proves me wrong...again. Cleric 0, womens 2.
 
Supreme Ruler 2020 does indeed appear to be incomprehensible on first impression
 
My homework, supposedly simple English grammar and Latin demonstrative nouns, turns into a two hour babble when you need to translate Latin and your English teacher gives you 20 problems in which you identify every type of word, which problems are entire articles...
