Watched Arsenal get bent over by Dortmund. Another disappointing season.

Today I read the news and I had to laugh out loud. Someone here in Austria placed a roadside IED right where the police often stops with their radar speedometers to catch speeding cars.  The IED was triggered via tripwire and the payload was poo. The explosive charge was intentionally weak so the police officers weren't hurt, only their pride. In one split second they were peppered with tons of dung.  

 

Whoever that was, he or she deserves a medal.  :banana:

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

I finished watching Berserk. The ending made me go "U wot m8?"

 

I need to get the manga at some point.

The ending is messed up.

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

 

I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic.

So, the youngin's got one of them baby helmets.  ("Cranial band" technically.)  He was getting all lopsided thanks to a stiff neck that always had him looking to his right.  And when you sleep on your back every night, with no pillow, always looking a bit to the right, at an age where your skull is growing faster than it ever will in your lifetime, you tend to develop a bit of a flat spot on that side-- which only reinforces the neck issue.  The theory on the new hat is that it stay snugs to the parts of his noggin that currently protrude, so that the normal growth can happen in the other parts to even things out.  Plagiocephaly (medical-talk for crooked-headedness) is mostly cosmetic (and there is some evidence to suggest that it would straighten out itself over the long term without extra paraphenalia), but the self-reinforcing combination of the assymetric flat spot and the muscular issue in his neck was leading to developmental issues like difficulty rolling over. 

 

He got the new headpiece last week and we've been slowly breaking it in.  Today will be the first time he goes overnight wearing it.  Of course, just to make things extra difficult, he's also got a cough (and so do I) and he's just started at his new daycare facility (in the building where I work).  Between the illness, new environment, and new hat, it's been a rough couple days-- it's been very tough to get him to nap, which substantially affects his overall mood and appetite.  But he is sleeping now, and his head is actually pointed a little to his left, which feels like a huge win.

 

 

What I really need to do is come up with an awesome Halloween costume that incorporates a helmet with a swirly blue/white pattern.  I'm thinking it would make a passable wizard hat.

Records broken. Thanks to something called a dry slot, coast temperature at 1830 hrs was 100° (38C). Average High for Sep. 16 is 73°. Still 90° now at 2024hrs. May go insane, soon.  

 

I am literally under the E in Oceanside in the reddest red part.

Also, just discovered how ancient Egyptian headdress styles were invented. Your head is hot, you soak a towel in water and place it directly on the skull, strategically so that water drips down your back, cooling you, but you have to fold the sides behind your ears and drape it down to your shoulders, channeling water drips, just like a pharaoh probably might have, or not.

I am drunker than a skunk in a monk on a lump in a sump doing a chump....

 

I have no idea what that means but it sounded good.... And I'm covering up my depression with booze. Because I'm trying to be the healthiest overweight middle aged non-college educated yahoo on this plante... GO ME!

 

Wonder how much medication I have in my "pharmacy" that's growing on the microwave...

Don't get your hopes up, it's been in a static boondoggle for years. 24 years and there's no end in sight.

 

Whaaa? Still going on? That's crazy.

 

I guess I will just have to search for another anime to watch, then.

Some punks broke some windows at the school I work at. That's several thousand wasted on fixing damages. That money was sorely needed for other things. I'd use some swear words on here, but I already said them (in many different languages) this morning. I am not a violent man, but I'd gladly give whoever did this a good beating.

I have been in similar situations. I stopped studying at the age of 19. Before my current job, I was home for almost 3 years because no one was interested in employing me. prior to that, I had worked at restaurants (14 hour job). Life is miserable sometimes, but I hope you don't do anything stupid. (From the sound of it, taking the amount of meds you have taken is worrying.)

A couple of years back, my ex dumped me for another chap. Today I found out they've split up whilst I'm in the early stages of buying a place with my missus of two years. Ain't no lol sweeter than a snide, slightly bitter schadenfreude lol.

Calax, what's up? Some of your posts recently have been concerning. You better come through this, man.

Well I'm close to graduation but I have no idea what I'm going to do afterwords. I'm the lonliest person on the planet, have a love hate relationship with work, no money, I'm not thrilled with my car, and feel like overall there's no reason to continue with this worthless thing called an existance.

 

Hell even my cat doesn't want to be near me... Only meowing from across the room.

History...

 

Also, I'm overweight So go me

I'm overweight, no degree and live with my brother. I have been doing contract work for the past years because no one wants to give me a set job. Whatever you issue you have, I win. When you feel like crap, think of that Swedish guy on the Obsidian boards that has it worse.

But you're in sweden, That automatically makes it better. And I assume that you've got an active social life and the motivation to do things. I have neither of those.
