next month i'm going to get back to work on both novels i'm trying to write this year. right now i have about 6-7 chapters done for each, the plan is to finish editing those first and post them online. i'm happy with them so far and i'm going to try and write 4 or 5 more chapters each this summer.

well i was supposed to drive to green bay tonight to see trivium in concert. halfway there the steering in my car completely failed and i had to call a tow truck to take me all the way back home. missed the show, $700 towing bill. no sir, i did not like it.

i want to get verified too, but nobody gives a shit if i'm a real person or not. i could be a bot, or a penguin, or a sentient block of concrete for all you know.

plugging in my phone when it's at 5% battery and then unplugging it again two minutes later. "just a sip, that's all you get."

one weird thing about working third shift that messes with your brain is at the end of the work day, you don't tell your coworkers "i'll see you tomorrow," instead you say, "i'll see you tonight." we literally go to work the same day we left.

i don't normally take videos or pictures at work, but i took this video last night. that spool of brass wire weighs 1300 pounds. i was kind of hoping it would completely smash that skid.

since 4chan is trending: i used to post in the /toy/ board all the time. me and some other users tried to make a toy-related wiki called the /toy/box, and i wrote up pages for gi joes and other toylines. it was a fun project that sadly fell apart. anyway that's my main memory from using 4chan.

i've been playing oblivion a lot lately and i've probably played over 150 hours and there's still parts of the game i don't understand. i still don't get how the speechcraft minigame is supposed to work. i've read tutorials and watched videos and it just doesn't make sense to me at all.

played some magic the gathering at my friend's house with my own magic decks and i actually managed to win once. in the past few years we've played maybe 25 total games and i've won a total of two times. still fun to play even when i lose.

last night we played a game called "u.s. patent number 1" which was one of those old-school cheapass games in the thin cardboard sleeves.

when i got home from work this morning, for some reason a krispy kreme truck was pulling into my apartment's parking lot and i swear my mind lit up with OH MY GOD THEY MAKE HOME DELIVERIES???

i have a 401k and i haven't bothered to look at its current value in years, so i have no idea how much money it's lost due to all this. what i'm more concerned about right now is if i'm going to still have a job in six months.

the dentist looks in my mouth and frowns. "hmm," he says, "that's some pretty bad plaque build-up you've got there. i don't think my standard metal hook tool is strong enough for this job." he reaches into his cabinet and pulls out a chainsaw.

i'm a big fan of speaking pig-latin, but are there other animal-themed dialects of the latin language? i'm interested in learning hippopotamus-latin or kangaroo-latin.

when i was a kid, i wanted to be a pro baseball player when i grew up. but then they banned steroids and i decided not to bother. to be honest, i just wanted an excuse to do steroids.

one random fact about me is that i have eczema on my hands, resulting in cracked and split skin on my fingers. i also work in a factory with very sharp pieces of metal. there's rarely a time when at least one of my fingers doesn't have a band-aid on it.

project for this week: put together more of those little tanks for the game flames of war, which i bought like two years ago and still haven't made much progress with.

one thing i promise is that if some godawful right wing asshole accidentally says something true, i will not post "boy, i actually agree with this godawful right wing asshole!" you don't have to "agree" with some piece of shit just because they state the occasional fact.

my elbow has been bothering me a lot lately, so i'm going to ask my doctor if they can just amputate my arm and give me a cool robot arm like the winter soldier has.
