so my time sheet is done and all accounts are billed.

my expense reports are done and I just found out that next week due to the short week, none of them are going to be processed. My tab is $740. That really sucks.

Got cheap tombstone pizzas for tonight since Publix had them BOGO. The also had nice avocados for 5/$5. We had our Friday dinner last night. Home made tacos, tortillas, and the beans. My fiancée is a good cook despite asshats in her past saying she can't.

Having beers and she really is liking Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash. A Total Wine rep recommended it. Now the kids are stealing it. I don't like it, it's too sweet.

You need a good cup of coffee.

Watching various alarms spread across 4 monitors and 2 projectors to make sure telecommunication services for multiple regions continue to operate. Might get a few movies in, if things are quiet. :p Love my job.

Last night shift then I'm off for a few days.

I'm going to catch up on the last two episodes of Sleepy Hollow. Maybe play Call Of Duty Black Ops. Had a couple large Philly Cheese steak sandwiches so no going out.

Oh, a quick reminder for the kids... Don't be a fool, wrap your tool :)

train your goats bro.

My fiancée asked how does a hunter cook and clean for his wife?

She agreed that you should train those goats.

Her parents own a farm.
She knows not to mess with my hunting clothes. A lot of detergents have uV brighteners - makes you stand out like a sore thumb to deer. Plus, needs to be scent free. So, I wash a couple towels scent free & uV whitener free to make sure the washing machine is free of that stuff, then wash my hunting clothes. Otherwise, I don't do laundry; tis her domain.

We share cooking - and tonight was another steak night. Steaks are my domain. Nice 2" thick NY Strip, yum. With her working toward another grad degree, I get quite a bit of the cooking duties. But, hunting clothes are all clean & ready to go for the morning; gotta run and fill the gas tank, since the stations will be closed in the morning (4am).

How was the Bosnian? I might look for some in Salt Lake area if there are any.

Unfortunately, I did not consume any Indian food as there was some drama with my friends. My friend and I went to Noodles and Co, and later hit another friend's house and had some beers. Played with the Oscilus Rift in Half Life 2. It was a great night. :D

Watching random Youtube videos about transistors. No idea how I got there.

I'm curious to see how this is going to lead to cats, because it always does.

Went to the NIN concert in Seattle.

It was total shit. I was right up front. (Ok, I was two people behind, but I was arms length away from the fence) Not everyone was terrible (as in the people attending) but about 10%-20% made it not worth it. They were thrashing around in a big pool of people and getting into fist fights and shit. I was like, "What the fuck?" A bunch of druggies and excessive drinkers, probably. I nearly let loose on a few guys because they were being such pricks. (EVERYONE wanted where I was) Fortunately, security got them or they went away. Also, cannabis was a thing being smoked there and that smelled...

Very intense how much I had to use my legs. They're pretty sore not just from standing, but from having to push the crowd back. Lots of elbowing fucking pricks to tell them, "You get near me, I'm going to break your god damn ribcage." Fucking pricks ruined the concert for a lot of people up front. We were all like, "What the fuck?! We're about to die here!" One guy that was near me actually got pulled out by security (voluntarily) because he couldn't take it anymore.

Music was the music, but it wasn't better. The atmosphere ruined it for the most part.

I paid $111.75 for the ticket. $3.30 or something for parking . So, ~$115 total for a shit concert. THE OPENER WAS THE FUCKING WORST. GOD THEY WERE SO BAD.


EDIT: tl;dr - NIN's fans can go fuck themselves for being a bunch of fucking worthless assholes.

How was the Bosnian? I might look for some in Salt Lake area if there are any.

The meal started with a cabbage salad with garlic, celery seed, and black pepper. Then came the bread which was like an over-sized english muffin grilled with butter.

The main platter came with five kinds of meat: two types of pork sausage, marinated and grilled chicken breast, beef/lamb gyro meat with tzatziki, and two very large marinated and spiced beef kabobs. All the meat was delicious. The restaurant also serves lamb but it doesn't come with the platter we ordered.

The platter also came with two types of rice, a buttery white rice and a spanish rice. Also there were grape leaves stuffed with a rice and cream-cheese mixture and broccoli with cheese.

We were too stuffed to try the desserts. Next time we go we'll try some of the appetizers and desserts.

A lot of antique restaurants stuff you up before the end of the meal. :D That sounds delicious though. Next time I am in the mood for something Slavic, I will find the restaurant and go with my friends. Thank you for taking your time to describe what the food is like!

Just let her know how to wash them.

I avoid being a bitch in my relationships...My job is to make the dough and bring home the hoes.
