Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

I'm real excited to buy a bike when I move to NC. Did alot of research but felt it wasnt the best idea to buy one before I moved plus where I live isnt exactly bike country. I love outdoor stuff I have apair of K2 fatty blades ride all the time but its way to cold now.

im just lazy..i might run to fridge but thats about it lol

i barely spent anything on books this quarter..good thing im an art major. most of my money goes to supplies, and now that im workin with computers and glassblowing i dont really need big books..and ill never take another math class again.

Glass blowing sweet I took Bowling, camping and sailing in college...Money well spent haha

I considered taking bowling a few semesters ago. I don't even think its offered anymore.

Golf was a nice easy class though... and it was required for my previous major :thumbsup:

You'll find that the closer you get to the mountains the less excited you'll be about it... haha. Hell, it's hard to even locate a level road to drive on in this area. LOL

there's a website that's dedicated to trails...atleast in my area...but the hills are great...except if it's been a long time since you rode and if to get back to your car it's all up hill like it is at William B. Umstead State Park

I'd be new to riding so I will probably stick to flatlands with some pebbles and dirt..But The bikes I checked out are mean looking they can get really expensive in price I was amazed..

...and now that im workin with computers and glassblowing...
Glass blowing huh? Want to make me a bong? :lol: I'd love to get into glass blowing, I'd make a killing selling custom glass pieces to my friends alone.

yeah bikes are so expensive...that's why i'm always on craigslist looking for parts...my Gary Fisher is a good bike so i just buy parts for it...but i would really love a new bike, if only for the bells and whistles

i can't really run but i probably walk about 10 miles everyday.

Tuesday morning it’s warm enough for me to walk to work in shorts and sandals and this morning it’s snowing :dunno:

took my dad to the airport last night around 11 to pick up his new Philippine wife...i have no comment

lol mail order?? or did they meet on eharmony lol..glassblowing is sweet idk if i dont go into computer stuff id probly go with glass as my art major..we just learned cylinders so im makin a bunch of drinking glasses and ashtrays at this point..i saw someone made a pipe the other day, we can get kicked out of the class if they seem em but oh well..ill make a sweet "vase"

he met her on some chat site...even flew to the Philippines to get married

I feel so bad for the cleaning crew in my office. They hired a new crew becasue the old crew got paid 9 bucks an hour and this crew they only pay $7.50. They dont speak English but they were so nice...Just seems wrong cause they did such a good job...

My grandmother's having open heart surgery today...going to be a long couple of weeks. She went in at 8 this morning and it's supposed to be a 6 hour surgery, so I'm just waiting for the call on how she's doing right now. I'm sure she's going to be fine though, she's tough.

Best of luck to her. I need to call Granma

wow open heart she 's a trooper. I wish her the best of luck Civicspoon.

thank you for the kind words. She made it through surgery alright, but there's still a risk of her having a stroke. Something about the bad plaque in her aorta. But I'll have to wait to see her until tomorrow night, and we can only see her for 15 minutes ever hour or 2.

wish her the best of luck civicspoon.

my mother-in-law had that done...she's doing well...hope your granny's doing alright

Maybe there was an oil or gas spill...

Either way, that sucks.

I hate having to clean off the vehicle. That's why I got a Jeep. But the only mud I see is in my damn driveway... LOL

so i broke my glasses the other day. yep now i gotta wear these ridiculous bootcamp ones.

Oh man, those military issue ones are funny as hell.

i feel like shit because of this cold, and look like shit because of these glasses.

my brother had a pair...i think he still has them

as reading goes... so far this month i have:

-finished reading Stephen King's Rose Madder
-finished reading Stephen King's Cell
-started to read finished reading Stephen King's Liselys Story but lost intrest...didn't reall grab my attention
-started reading finished reading Stephen King's Everything's Eventual
-and read the first 7 volumes of Naruto

I read the Richard Bachman novels over the last couple of months... "Rage", "The Long Walk" and "Road Work". I needed a break from Stephen King for awhile so I started on Robin Cook. I'm reading his first novel "Coma". You can certainly tell his noob style when this was published in like 1977... using 3rd person ominscient narration to get away with telling the reader stuff that the characters don't know and vice versa. I could tell just from flipping through his later novels that he jumped into the novelist style with page turner vocabulary... haha... I'm looking forward to those.

Everything’s Eventual is a collection of short stories…I like those best. The Long Walk was very good. Cell took me for a loop…right out the gate you’re hooked. But some parts reminded me of Bag of Bones. I forgot that I also read his book from the Hard Case Series…The Coyote Kid…the ending upset me…too many unanswered questions…but that’s the way the story was. Another book I read last months was The Husband by Dean Koontz…I could tell it wasn’t a Stephen King book by the huge time gap at the end, but it was a good book none-the-less. In Everything’s Eventual he recommends some other short story books by some other authors that I’m going to check out.

I had "Everything's Eventual" in my hand ready to purchase last time I was at the book store but I didn't buy it because I was in the middle of "The Long Walk" (crazy story). I really liked "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" but I lent it to some woman who quit working for the reception co. that is subcontracted from my firm. I'll never see it again. I was going to purchase it again at the same time as "Everything's Eventual" but I didn't. I will though. "Night Shift" was also awesome. Short stories are really cool, especially for a slow, critical reader like myself. It usually takes me awhile to finish a novel because I like to read chapters at a time. But I like remembering little meaningless details that don't seem to matter. But my philosophy is if they didn't matter, they wouldn't have been written down in the first place. I wish I got paid to read. That's what I went to college for... LOL

all the books i've had i gave away...Nightmares and Dreamscapes, Bog of Bones, donated Geralds Game to the library...not too sure if i owned Desparation, but it was a good book also...i'd like to get my hand on Nightmare and Dreamscapes again though

my reading is for my bus rides to and from work...so i have like 2-1/2 hours or more a day to read...unless i'm sleeping

What a shitty week...that's starting to turn around. After my grandmother had her surgery, things went very bad for a while. She had multiple strokes over night and they found a blood clot (but they later found out it was on the outside of her heart). And because of the strokes she wasn't able to move the right side of her body (though she did squeeze my mothers hand the other day), and they were afraid that she wouldn't be able to comprehend things anymore. But yesterday when I went she clearly knew we were all there when we talked to her. They finally took out the breathing tube today and she's breathing on her own and has started talking! Obviously she's still in bad shape, but it's definently a huge step to recovery (one that the doctors weren't convinced would happen).

And less important things that have happened is that my rear brakes finally gave out and froze up on me (½ the time they are stuck on and the other ½ they are just not working). That was no fun when I was taking corners with all the snow and ice we've had lately. And I haven't had my PS2 for almost a week, because it's at the shop getting repaired, I'll get it back this week though. Damn I need to relieve some stress and frag some people on Socom.

CivicSpoon, sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope she makes a complete recovery...

My PS2 is really just for watching DVDs until I buy a new DVD player/recorder.

hope your grandmother recovers completely


my PS2 now is for San Andreas

Hope all is well, I'm sure this is a hard time just stay positive.

Thanks you everybody. Staying positive is the only thing we can really do right now. The waiting and worrying is the worst part, everyone's really on edge. But this has certainly helped to restore my faith (I know that's a corny cliche, but it's true).

But Sony sucks. When I get enough $ to finally upgrade to a new console, I'm probably going to end up with a 360 (paying for online is bs though). I've never owned a Sony product that didn't have a problem. But this makes me feel a little better about that: http://www.smashmyps3.com/
