Ding Dong - Sounds from my b-school journey

Goddamn. Over the last 2 months, I've read 6 of these damn sentences...

"Inclusive of your admission interview, your application received the careful consideration of our Admissions Committee. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you admission to the Class of 2009."

WTF!?!? Here are the dings in order of appearance, Dartmouth, NYU, UMich, Columbia, Cornell and Chicago. HOLY SHIT!!

Now I have to wait another month for Duke and Yale.

I'm depressed.

Guns and Fun - From my cold dead hands...

Just got back from weekend in Las Vegas.

Mega fun at this place - http://www.lasvegasgunrange.net/

Shot an M16, Israeli Uzi, Swedish K, MP-5K and an USP.45.

Ridiculous.

I'm now a certified gun-toting Republican.

Who wants to see photos of my trip to the Middle East?

I'm gonna make my pics public for about a week and then take they private.

Shut up Tarantino

I'm assuming most of you saw Casino Royale and agree it's a very entertaining movie. I haven't had that much fun at a movie for a while.

But check out what Tarantino had to say about it: article

Someone needs to give him a shot of STFU. That's awesome how filming the movie like how the book was written is his original idea. Sorta like how the pretentious Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill are original genres he invented because he's much more cinematically enlightened than the rest of us? Someone get that douchebag back in a Blockbuster store because that's where he belongs.

Vegetarian Birthday

Why is no one else posting on the blog? Don't make me come over there. Anyway, happy birthday to the vegetarian running machine that is CB. Go eat some vegan birthday cake!

Seriously, What's Wrong with People?

Who would eat a hamburger that uses Krispy Kreme donuts as its buns??? I can get behind the idea of something like a bread pudding that uses donuts, but hamburgers?

Note: All my recent food posts are because I'm on a diet and I've reached the point where I'm obsessed with food.

Public Pet Peeves

I noticed there are a lot of things that set me off in the morning. While taking the subway to work, i hate people that:

1) Talk non-stop on their phone; it's 8 o'fucking'clock, how much could you possibly have to talk about?
2) Make out with their bf/gf. Again it' 8AM in the morning, you're both wearing your office attire, is there a need for PDA? Whatever you did last night, we don't want any hint whatsoever. This isn't junior high anymore you fucktards, it's not cool to show everyone you have a bf/gf.
3) People that think I'd love to share their newspapers with them. Yeah, I love reading about the latest gossip about karaoke singers first thing in the morning because your arm span violates my personal bubble.

I'd love to show any one of these people what I have in my pocket for them.

When I get to the office, there's a moment of dread before i open the door to my floor. Remember in American Psycho, Patrick Batman is like "relief washes over me in an awesome wave"? Well, it's the opposite for me. The expectation of the IT smell is hitting me in a horrifying wave of pestilence.

What about you guys?

So Cute!

Holy crap! When I get my own place I'm buying these! Except I'd do something psychotic like have a bowlful of these heads sitting out on my coffee table.

Acid Burn

So my new diet consists of eating more veggies either raw, grilled or steamed and only using vinegar, lemon juice or mustards as condiments. Much like J, I have a dislike for veggies and the only way I'm getting through this is by liberally dousing my veggies in balsamic vinegar. Actually it's not "dousing" so much as it's "making balsamic vingegar soup with veggies floating around in it". I'm wondering if at my next check-up my doctor will think I'm bulimic.

Deathtrap

Holy crap! We had freezing rain last night and everything in K-Hole is right now either a giant sheet of ice or a giant slush puddle. Since there' s a career fair today, I'm wearing my fancy boots that only have aesthetic value and I nearly killed myself just walking down my front steps. I managed to pitifully walk one block before finding a cab. My actual thought process while walking was: "I am going to die walking to civil procedure class, that's not fair! At least I have clean underwear on. Oh, praise, Jebus! A cab!"

Pencil, oh pencil ...

I have been using a Dixon Ticonderoga H pencil this week for working out shitty filter equations. Typically, I use a keyboard for the majority of the time at work. This week I noticed the skin on my right thumb is flaking off. Using the pencil has soaked up all the moisture in the areas of my hand that contact the pencil. Does this happen to anyone else? The flaking is so bad that when I got lemon juice on my thumb it hurt like getting my gonads stomped. Well maybe not that bad, but you get the idea.
