I blame the full moon.

It's 10:30pm, and I go to add some pictures from my mother-in-law's camera to a DVD-RW that has all of her other pictures on it. I set the stage for disaster by thinking "This should only take a couple of minutes."

I burn the files on the disc, and then open the disc, just to double-check that they are there. Hmmm... it says the disc isn't formatted in Joliet or ISO9660. It thinks the disc is blank. I reopen my DVD writing software... it thinks the disc is blank too and isn't showing any of the sessions from the disc.

Hundreds of photos and movies of grandparents/grandkids... GONE. And it's MY FAULT.

For the next, I dunno, LONG TIME, I try several recovery apps, and only find success with the last one (and a $30 unlock key).

About 1:00 am, I go to bed. Only to awaken at 2:30 to the sound of my 1 1/2 yr old son screaming bloody murder. Around 4:00, I'm able to get him back to sleep (my wife was unsuccessful... heck, so was I - keep reading) and I return to bed.

Only to awaken at 4:45 to the sound of my wife yelling because my son resumed crying and threw up all over her, the living room and the kitchen.

After we got the boy back to bed again, I did barf-clean-up-duty while she washed puke out of her hair.

Anyone else have a miserable night? (btw, I've had 6 cups of coffee so far today)

I canoodled with a hottie so you are alone in your misery.

Sorry man.

Every time I see your name I think of that 90's band called Chumbawamba.

I have no supportive comment to the thread though, other than that sucks. :\

I had a suprisingly refreching 5 hour long sleep.

my day's been good so far, got tabs for my car, got my car running smoothly, and got BF1942 for $1

Gosh, last night was a night for desaster in my case too!

Yesterday was ****ing brilliant.

So Im driving home, and I hear this clink, clink, click noise. I think to myself "its probably just the road"....but when I get to a section of road that is perfectly smooth, its still there. Click, click, click. Crap, I think, its a tire.
So I pull over and check the tire I think its coming from.



Oh yeah, it was a bolt.


So I went to Big-O this morning, thinking it would be a quick, 30 minute repair job.
I wish.

In the process of fixing the one tire, they proceed to find a nail right in the corner of another tire. Not a good place to find a nail.


I feel alot lighter, as if a large sum of money had been flushed out of me. $400 large.

What if they planted the other nail?

$400 for 2 ****ing tires? Don't ever go to that place again.

Dude, I'm with Chaz. Don't go there again. EVER. I bought 4 brand new tires, very high quality, for less than $500. Tell whoever replaced your tires to go **** themselves.

...With a cow prod.

That sucks man.

I wish. $330 for 1 tire.

But what Geebs isn't telling us is that it's a $330 tire for his MONSTER TRUCK!!!

Uh...what kind of tires do you have? Mine cost less than half of that..

5 of these bastards.

I sat, talked to random people, listened to some awesome tunes and drank.

It was chill as ****.

Oh, they are runflats. That makes more sense.

Those are a waste of money IMO though.

I could have done that for $20 and a steak sub.

wow, are the runflats really that great? cause if they are not you sir are getting hosed big time!

Do you put French fries and hot sauce on steak sandwiches?

When I was in Israel I had the most godlike steak sandwich at one of the PX s on one of their secret squirrel bases. I am considering going back just for that.

That's what I was thinking.

Last night was freaking amazing; in fact, the whole weekend was great. Basically, the very basis of it being awesome was playing Halo 3 on a 72" plasma screen with my friends and hanging out with this really awesome girl all weekend. Said really awesome girl is interested in me.

Highschool is great.

I'm going to save this for when you make a livejournal post about how said girl is ruining your life and highschool suxorz.

Hahaha...

This weekend was mad busy. I had to go to this leadership conference for one of my clubs, I had a staff social, and then I had to train my personal staff. I partied Friday and Saturday and met some interesting girls...

Every Christmas season my mom makes a huge amount of cookies. A few years ago, she made two trays of dark chocolate/strawberry/brownie like cookies. Shortly after we all went to bed, one of our dogs somehow managed to slide one of the trays off the table and onto the ground. She proceeded to eat the entire thing. As poisonous regular chocolate is to dogs, we would later find out from the vet that the type of dark chocolate in the cookies is actually ten times more toxic for dogs than regular chocolate. After consuming the entire tray, her body went crazy, and she started drinking massive amounts of water to try to flush everything out. (This is still in the same night.) My parents woke up to her peeing everywhere around the house, and they were up all night shampooing carpets and cleaning up after her. Alas I have no memory of this, as I was somehow asleep despite the extremely loud noises that the carpet cleaner makes.

Our dog did survive though, and the list of cookies was added to the long list of many things she has eaten against our will. Years before she ate $70 of my brother's birthday money, and one year, even my class picture. Ah, memories.
