The Last Whiskey Bar

[Freeky]

God wouldn't last 5 minutes in this place. Can you imagine Jesus pulling that water into wine shit in Glasgow? He'd have been frogmarched to the nearest distillery and had a tap hammered into his skull before he could say "blessed are the alcoholics"

Well, he doesn't HAVE to actually show up, does he?  I mean, he never actually shows up in Phoenix, but you never hear the end of it. 

Wait.  Scratch that.  He DOES show up in Phoenix, directly overhead and 8 light minutes away, to smash everyone into the fucking concrete with an red hot iron fist.

But you know what I mean.

It's to keep Tucson away from him.

Trying to work out a routine to make the best use of my free time...something I am not currently doing well.

Urgh.  There is such a thing as too much freedom, it seems.  Anyway, working in time for exercise, reading, writing, cooking and DVDs is rather useful, I'm finding.

Tucson is actually just His shadow.

So, on day 4 of the freeze, shit is finally starting to fly to bits.

And then the water tower next to our plant blew a standpipe and sent a few thousand gallons of water across our yard and into the trench we'd just dug to extend the 13800 volt service to the new building.  Water promptly froze, and now we have 600 feet of destroyed conduit and 00 cable.

On top of the piping that's starting to crack in our plant, and the air compressors and boiler whose control valves are freezing solid.

Jesus, it sounds like a future Superfund site.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

LOL, when I think of Arizona I always picture a desert where, even in the winter it's 80 in the shade. You guys actually get freezing? Fuck me I'm ignorant 

Rarely.  About 1 winter in 5.

This is one of those winters.

Ha! About 1 winter in 5 we can actually tell it apart from summer, autumn and spring. Rest of the time it's 365 days of cold wet and miserable

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIVED IN PORTLAND!

Naw.  But what it IS, is "non-functional".  And I am dealing with Lilly, who has decided that this is inconvenient.

Jim can't get back to Arizona fast enough for me.

[Suu]

Fever just broke, now I'm sweaty and exhausted.

Also just got the news that my parents' cat is very ill. After fighting a few infections this year, she continues to lose weight, so the diagnosis appears to be a form of cancer in her belly. At this point, they could cure it, but since it costs about as much to treat an animal as a human, they're probably going to choose for the least-favorite option.

My brother is a mess, my sister doesn't know yet, and my mom is now convinced she can't keep a cat to live longer than 10 years old, so she's done with having pets.

Not really the best news I want to hear when I felt like I was on my own deathbed this morning.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Stop helping me. Seriously. Keep your hands off my laundry. Stay out of my room. Do not touch my stuff. Don't prepare shit food and then say it's for me. Stop "trying to make my life easier."

I keep telling you what my boundaries are. I keep telling you that my brain is broken in certain ways and fucking with this will get you nothing but flack. You know I hate surprises. You know I hate people buying shit for me because 100% of the time it's shit I don't want, need, or use. But you keep doing it and keep getting your feelings hurt and keep telling me I'm evil and rotten and horrible.

Fine. I'll move out. Don't really have a problem with that, wasn't too keen on living here anyway. I came to help you with your bills, which I am paying an increasing amount of. But I'm all good with getting out of dodge.

If you can't LEAVE MY SHIT ALONE.

[Cain]

Fucking lag when gaming is the bane of my life.

HAY DEVS.  Y U MAKE GAME GO AT HOSTS SPEED NOT SPEED OF PLAYER?

I was fucking shooting across the map at people who the next second would be in my damn face.  It's a miracle I managed a single kill, let alone 50+

[Luna]

Hey, all.  I ain't dead.

Just wishing I was, today, down with the ick.  Given that I get no paid sick time because I temp, me staying home from work for a day is major shit.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

I'm really not trying to be a cunt.

I'm trying to cut down on the clutter and shit I carry around. I do not need people getting me stupid shit to keep "for the memories".

There's a whole list and slew of shit I can't eat or won't eat because of REASONS. Getting upset when attempting to force-feed me that shit does not go well is not my fault or my problem.

Messing up my shit so that it takes me double the loads of laundry to get everything done or twice as many VARIOUS SUPPLIES because you 'know a better way' doesn't work. Fuck you, die in a fire, LEAVE MY SHIT ALONE.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

I am glad you are not dead. I hope you de-ick quick. The ick is going around like whoa.

Thanks, I'm feeling a lot better than I did this morning.  I think I drank about two gallons of tea today, flushed the ick right out.   

[Juana]

Good to hear ick is gone? And that ick is on its way out for Suu. Roger, your plant concerns me. Have you fucked with Lily yet?

I go back to school tomorrow! LAST SEMESTER. For a couple years, anyway. Depending on how shit goes, I can see myself going for a masters eventually. Time to hit up internships.

Not gone.    Got sent home from work.
