I’m a goon. I must be getting old or something. either that or I’ve developed some sort of sense of that “work ethic” thing I’ve been trying so hard to avoid. For the first time I can recall I’ve been happy to find out that it’s earlier in the week than I thought it was. this bothers me deeply.

I’m in the middle of scanning these really annoying parts that are simple but tedious. and I have a lot of them. after these, I have some 6″ silicon wafers to scan. the wafers need to be done by the end of friday, and these other parts have to be done first. I thought today was Thursday, and I just found out it’s Wednesday. This discovery made me feel relieved. I have no place feeling that way seeing as there’s a superbowl party this weekend that I’m really looking forward to. I should not be thinking of work first and fun later.

Fuck. I must be getting old. One more nail in my coffin.

This poor woman was the victim of a hit and run. 3 TIMES. That’s more times than I crap in a day.

NEW YORK (AP) — The black car hit her first, striking Natalie Guzman as she tried to cross a Queens street to buy a bag of potato chips. The 18-year-old managed to get to her feet before she was hit again, by a white car.

About four minutes later, her friends dove for cover as a black sport utility vehicle hurtled through the 30 mph zone at an estimated 80 mph. Guzman, who could not move, was killed instantly.

Whole story

What the hell do you say to that? Seriously… no words. humans suck. It’s nice of the world to justify my misanthropy from time to time.

I am particiating in an afternoon tradition of mine I had long since forgotten. The “trip-6” or “triple six” is a drink that a friend of mine invented for me. When I worked at Pfizer, I got to know the starbucks people real well. one of the guys there made it a habit to give me my drinks for free, and in return I would give a generous tip. this was passed down law to the “lesser” employees there. score.

anyways, he made a drink for me that I still get from time to time when I need to wake up. the trip-6 is 6 packs of raw sugar, 6 pumps of chocolate mocha syrup, and 6 shots of espresso. all over ice. this thing is crazy. I don’t have espresso drinks very often anymore, and I don;t have that much sugar. so this drink is kicking my ass. I can feel diabetes closing in on me every time I have one. absolutely guaranteed to wake you up no matter how dead you are.

ironically, it comes out to just about 6 dollars. The ironing is delicious! bah. thought I’d share the love. get away from my drink.

1 reason not to take yourself too seriously:

…because people like Bogart will make fun of you, and people like me will laugh at you. This shit is hillarious.
