Crap, crap, crap, crap... hey!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Yesterday was the worst day ever. Totally a Friday the 13th cliche. My wife and I have been babysitting her nephew all week and his parents were due to pick him up yesterday. Their plane was delayed for five or six hours, so we never got the alone time I wanted. On top of that, we got in a huge fight that lasted all day and night. And I didn't sleep that night, because I had to work. Then my band was recording-- first day-- and we had a major glitch in the equipment, probably because somebody skimped on buying enough memory and the computer now can't handle 5 tracks at once. So we couldn't record, and can't until somebody who knows Cubase can tell us what's wrong, though we're pretty sure it's just memory. My friend sent me a critique of a story I wrote with the phrase, "Were I not reading this for you, I would have given up here," in the text 3 times. I didn't sleep-- did I say that?

Anyway, I came home and found out I was accepted to the NCUR research conference in Asheville, NC, one of my favorite places. The universe is forgiven.

Any more worst day ever stories?

Sorry Sprunker, maybe this will cheer you up ;p

My worst day actually spans two its that bad.
Been spending winter break from college at my house with my mother and my girlfriend whom decided it was too expensive to fly home, especially since she hates it there.

Last night she kept making unsettling comments like "I can't wait to get back to campus and have some FUN!" *Said as if there was sexual tone added.* and no matter how much I asked she wouldn't elaborate on it.
She kept saying how little we talked, and wouldn't give more that the smallest of kisses.

And of course today I moved back onto campus with her and not 3 hours later she is breaking up with me. Its funny but I saw it coming so long ago that it doesn't seem to matter, just is bad.

(By the way I may not post much but I do lurk, I just don't have much to say these days)

my friend has a theory that because she was born on Friday the 13th her unlucky days is Sat 14th.

yesterday we went to watch the boro - got beaten 7 nil.
then on the way back the tube was massively delayed
and full of horrendously annoying kids.
that wouldn't have made it on if it had pulled away on time.
