Random Thoughts, the Sequel

Ditto.

 

Depends. Often, it's ant. Sometimes, I sneak in the ont.

It's generally dependent on how it's used. With a name, i.e. Ant Whatsherface, is that way. Just saying 'My Ont' goes like that.

Weird.

 

Don't know if anyone is doing/has done the community college experience but in my history class, there's a woman who's one of the older ones in the class (so am I, but I don't sit with the "old" people), a mom, etc. She has this real mommy attitude, kind of an impatient authority she strides around with, speaking in tones that indicate she expects people to listen to her and her opinion to be respected.

Yesterday, right before a break, the prof asked the class to fill out instructor evaluations and turn them into the mommy, who apparently couldn't go on break until she'd collected all the evals (not sure why this is the case, but OK). Some of the students went for a smoke break first, then filled out the surveys at the end of the break.

And the whole time, this mommy is standing near our table, impatiently tapping her foot but not making eye contact, waiting for the guy next to me to turn in his eval.

Don't know why, but that really ticked me off. And, in a rarity for me, I said so out loud.

 

The ladies may find Tim McGraw hot, but his music fellates musky wildebeast phallus the foul nether-pits of Hades. Only Kenny Chesney irritates more these days among "country" (cough) male singers. And don't even get me started on the female vocalists...sadly, they're even worse.

 

Ant

 

in your case it's: fat, hairy bitch.

 

And the week of hell begins here. ... Sigh.

It's actually two weeks, but since the event is a week long I won't be getting a day off for the next 12 days. Not bitching about the overtime but I can't even enjoy my favorite bars because they'll be slammed with tourists who think they own the fucking town. I guess it's drink at home and by myself time! Yay!

 

When I lived in Austin, I spent as much time as possible out of town during SXSW. I don't deny that it can be fun, but if you're not participating in it, being around it can annoy. I used to live on the corner of Red River and Cesar Chavez. I'm sure people pissed in my yard, though I never caught anyone in the act.

 

I heard a commercial while dozing off this morning at the hotel, it made me laugh to the dismay of roommates:

"It's only 8 seconds long, but it can seem like an eternity on top of a rank bull. Coming next week the 45th annual xxx Rodeo. Be there."

So, BYH, does it really seem like an eternity?

 

While no one will be pissing in my yard - I will be right off the main road that leads to fantasyland here.

 

WTF?

 

SXSW is so crowded and expensive, that unless you're seeing a really good band that wouldn't ever be in Austin except at SXSW, it's a questionable investment. Unless you're rich or have passes, in which case, what the hell.

For me, SXSW meant "time to get out your camping gear and head to Enchanted Rock."
