So i’ve interviewed not once, not twice, but thrice, with a company in Kansas City.  God I hope they call today with an offer.  In the meantime, i’m killing cows and pigs in Minecraft while waving my sword at angry skeletons.  

Apparently due to the shift in the Earth’s axis since the time of the Babylonians, I am no longer a Taurus, but an Aries.  

Log a record number of hours and karma on reddit and find things like this:

So in preparing for an upcomming job interview, I need to give a 30 minute presentation on any topic I wish.  So far in the mix is: 

• How awesome i am
• My g/fs dog
• Oracle

In desperate need of advice!

3PM - Arrived to B&B in New Haven with girlfriend.

3:30PM - Got lunch at subway, then went back to B&B to watch TV and relax.

6PM - Go to restaurant called “Somebody’s” for dinner.  Somebody’s is closed, so we spend the next 45 minutes driving around looking for a place to eat.  Come across an Applebee’s which has a line extending out the door.  Find Bob Evans and eat country fried steak, with ice cream and a brownie for dessert.

8PM - Bubble bath time at the room.

10PM - Watch CNN Live coverage of ball dropping in Times Square.

11:15PM - Make up ghost stories about how the B&B we are at is haunted due to a twisted slattern who would lure riverhands in and murder them to freak my girlfriend out.

11:30PM - Totally asleep.

So my girlfriend and I just arrived in New Haven, MO, at a Bed and Breakfast we booked for NYE.  This place is fantastic; second-floor balcony to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather, bear claw bathtup with shbath, and an awesome room.  Don’t have a camera with me, but pics sure to follow.

Oh, and happy new years Tumblrs!

That’s right.  I went to cook my hashbrowns this morning, and woe is me, they were in the goddamn freezer.  This means I have to sit around waiting for them to defrost before I can cook my delicious fucking breakfast.  So for the last time - don’t you dare lay a finger on my fucking hashbrowns because I will cut you with a ceramic knife.

So a while ago I found a pretty good deal on a desk I could use for my computer desk on craigslist - good wood/construction but only $30.  Being dated as it is, and being bored as I am, I decided to try and do a little sanding and painting to give it a more modern look.

I recently returned from out of town to visit my girlfriend for the Christmas holiday.  This morning, while sipping coffee, my mother and I were sitting at the kitchen table.  She was using her netbook I had given her earlier this year, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to give her one of her presents, which was a wireless mouse for it.  Thoroughly enjoying her gift, she decided to give me a present as well.

After opening my gift, I looked in bewilderment.  ”Are these … mix CDs?” I ask.  ”No,honey, they are much better.”  As I stare at the titles - Matthew M. and Earl H., both from the “Brazzos Riverside Conference”, I can’t imagine what they are.  

“Is it some type of software?” I inquire.  ”No, honey.” She says.  ”They are videos of two speakers from the Alcoholics Anonymous conference!” she excitedly exclaims.  Not quite the iPad I was hoping for.

The CIA has launched a task force to assess the impact of the exposure of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables and military files by WikiLeaks.

Officially, the panel is called the WikiLeaks Task Force. But at CIA headquarters, it’s mainly known by its all-too-apt acronym: W.T.F.
