Bring the Beat back 031

These paydays over three weekends are never fun, so I'm starting to look at what money I’m going to have left by next Monday; what I can do?

I’m doing this again Sunday despite “Backdating’s not a pretty picture, and I don’t like doing it!”

“Keep your life free from the love of money,

High School Never Ends

A colleague at work was going on all week about the special on Saturday at Stroud’s, where servers talking among themselves reminded me of a title by Bowling for Soup.

“And I’m pretty much the same as I was back then,” my friend Ronni (who’s currently in Vegas for a convention) says this is less about my recently prostulated theory and more like “Things Others Don’t Realize You Are Doing Because Of Your High Functioning Anxiety”

I’m No Stranger to the Rain

This morning, I dreamed about being in two car collisions,
so I was being more careful today.

Lady, why are you going down the middle of the lane and trying to turn short of the concrete island where I happen to be driving?

My presence, I’m sure, is the offense and justifies her haughty and bewildered expression.

Fortunately, the lady stared a bit longer then went on her way with nothing further done or said.

As perfect a Thursday 051

Yeah, I’m gonna have to backdate a post for Wednesday, and I’d like to think that I have isolated what I was doing to make work awful.

For our team dinner, our team lead chose a recently opened American restaurant. The food was good, but a little pricey.

Maybe I shouldn’t have gotten a new car battery earlier this week, I was precise about a payment, yet I forgot another payment hadn’t posted to my account, so I’m overdrawn; no thanks to their fee either.

Despite this, I’m again disinclined to accept over time Saturday because I have another way to cover this overdraft.

Trident (yes, I finally nicknamed my car) requires fully synthetic oil which is recommended every 5000 miles, and 50000 was approaching, so I scheduled service for Monday. I bought a new Bayou La Batre, too, after a technician complimented my care.

‘The Cleveland Show’ was showing after ‘Friends’ on TBS, and I had yet to find anything funny in either program.

Seriously, no one in the lounge was laughing. They did laugh when a woman ent to look for a remote control and quipped, “God help any kids watching this!”

Of course, no one ever could find a remote.

I was going to redeem myself for Tuesday, but awake since quarter to six this morning I thought I was supposed to call when I’d arrived at Shawnee Mission Park, where all entrances were closed for a cycling event. When Denton and Hannah were ready, I was already burned out and returning home.

Yesterday I saw Spider-Man: Homecoming with Bennigan and watched randomized anime using the feature on Crunchyroll. Where the Streets have all Names I also stopped by to say hello to an evening manager and one of the delivery drivers; I had visited two weeks ago and spoken with a day manager, a server, and another delivery driver.

Even before yesterday’s title might suggest, I have been longing for the companionship of friends who I once knew and wondered why people like me.

Denton says I’m inspirational, and Wednesday a week ago a colleague said I light up their lives and give them hope?

Two best sisters play Again

Unlike the hosts for ‘Two Best Friends Play,’ the game ‘Fallout 4’ is rated M for Mature, so the following contains extreme violence and much strong language.

“Two Best Sisters Play - Fallout 4” places Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as the players and keeps the guys’ voices.

Machinima also produced ‘Combiner Wars’ and ‘Titan Masters’ for the ‘Prime Wars’ trilogy. Originally supposed to be an adaptation for the ‘Generic Universal RolePlaying System,’ creative differences caused ‘Fallout’ and changes to the title to be legally distinctive.
