It might be Sunday night, which signals for the return of the grind early tomorrow, but instead of dwelling on that, I’d rather look back on my week and enjoy the many successes that I manged in that time.
Work is work no matter what, but sometimes it can be downright tollerable. This week, I only had to actually speak to my boss once the entire week, and that alone is a huge win. Otherwise, while the work week was fairly busy, I felt very accomplished in getting a lot done, which also helped the time fly by. It also helps that I didn’t go into work on Wednesday because…
I went to Petco Park and got to see the Padres sweep the Dirt Packers. I will say, this was an instance in which I am very happy that I forgot to bring my flask, as I was at least 5 beers deep at first pitch, and the continued whiskey would have definitely put me over. It ended up being a great game, where the Pads took the lead in the 8th thanks to a 3-run home run by Franmil Reyes. In typical DFO fashion, our group had security called on us once, as the folks in front of us apparently thought they were going to see the opera instead of a baseball game, as we were “too loud” and had previously moved when they had asked us to. That minor transgression aside, it was a great day, and I’m sure they will be happy knowing that their remains went to good use.
Yesterday, I went to lunch with a friend who is shipping out to Northern Central Alaska for a few months as he consults at a coal mining site. He’s actually pretty excited about the gig, and it was good to get to buy him a couple of fish tacos before he boarded his plane later that night. I then got to spend the remainder of my afternoon enjoying some beers at Lost Abbey, having pho for dinner and spending time with the occasional lady friend. Absolutely no complaints there.
Today went by very quickly, but it was largely spent relaxing and visiting with my folks. I ripped out a lot of their old computer hardware and finally got them into the 21st century as far as their audio and visual aspects of their office, and getting my Dad up to speed on the new tablet that I got him for Father’s Day. It took a little longer than expected, but I still feel accomplished. Would’ve been nicer if the Padres didn’t blow a 3-run lead twice in the 9th and 11th for a walk off walk sweep against the Yinzers, but I still feel very accomplished.

Got a harsh take.
Watching the cooking channel and…
Pancakes suck.
There are so many better ways to start your day than a big wad of starch.
We can do better as a species!
Crepes?
Pancakes are like regular cakes; a useful base for other stuff on and/or in them.
Pancakes are great and you know it.

I just walked four miles.
Good jerb.
Uphill? Both ways?
Yes, actually (It was actually weaving up and down several streets before coming back up mine).
We can build on this!
Two drinks, max.
And I’ll have the same.

Gonna need more context than a lot of Black Hands rendering.
This is what I do when I’m not writing in my leather notebook from London stocked with French ruled A5 paper with my vintage American mechanical pencils loaded with extra-vintage IBM Electrographic high-graphite electrically-conductive 1.1mm leads. The image above is a sophisticated logic algorithm that I’m developing for DARPA, the NSA, and the Department of Defense which will automatically detect (and even predict) when they need to restock the ketchup dispensers in their many dining facilities world-wide. I’m being paid ten million dollars for this.
Well deserved.

Anyone want a bourbon shot?
Shots!
Of course!

Also, I apologize to tWBS for revealing his true identity.

I’m doing “Ironic Shitty”, not “Actual Shitty” like tWBS.
OH COME ON!!!!!!
That’s not a nice thing to say.
Why is Angel Hernandez?
At this point, it’s gotta be that he’s the Dennis Rodman of the MLBUA (??)
It’s beyond comedy and entering satire.
I still find Lionel Richie oh so dreamy.

Found a funny:
Is there a band called Bad Day?
No, there’s already a band called Green Day!
LOL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0LeL9BUPtA
dammit, I was just going to post that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENIbGONsdUg
It’s not my fault. You guys egged me on. I was completely under control.
Also being high now from my thc pill might have factored in.
But mostly it’s not my fault.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8vXvOisoZI
WHAT? NO!
This is your fault!
I very clearly said “NO GREEN DAY.”
And here we are.
More Green Day!!!! You got it buddy!!!!!

OH my. Rikki-Tikki-Deadly might be knocking on your door any second.
I thought this was “Shitty Music Sunday Night.”
/rimshot
It is. But RTD has a thing about Lenny Kravitz. He kinda hates him. And vice versa I think.
I don’t know all the details, but I would not want to be in the same room at the same time with the two of them.
Thank you for sharing that. Good to know.

OH HELLS JEAH!! MARTINI WHAT?!?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFP5oalZn4s
Very underrated song. One of my favourites of theirs, actually.
But Mr. Ayo is gonna yell at you.
I’m not mad. Just disappointed.
Dad? Is that you?
Naw we get “dudes” aboot the same frequency overall per song posts. I was just picking up on the theme that it’s Sunday and looking at Low Commanders tags for this article. I’m surprised you hadn’t posted this yet:

Hehehehehe.
My niece is out of school for the summer, so I’ll be keeping her a little more often for a while. Earlier today, I went grocery shopping to get some of the things she likes to have here for her. My mother reminded me….don’t forget to buy some peaches.
Now this fucking song has been stuck in my head for hours.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvAnQqVJ3XQ
Fun fact. This song is on 29 of the 40 listicles of most annoying songs.
The other 11 can’t be trusted.
hahahahaha
Damn, they tunneled right through that defense to score.
u see teh size of them calves??
We’re having veal tonight?
Oh wait, you meant….never mind.
OH HELLS JEAH!! LES GO MARTINI WHAT?!?
cursing that I ain’t bet “both teams score”

Obviously overmatched, it looked like their 1st half strategery was “let’s not lose by 4”. They came out much more aggressive on the counter in the 2nd half so at least they got 1.
Not gonna lie, the reference below to Kraft family dinner made me want Mac n cheese.
Well, like a true Kraft dinner, if you swallow it all, someone’s going to have a happy ending
I hate that stuff now. Velveeta shells and cheese is passable.
But homemade, yeah right style, is where it’s at now.
This guy ^ has proper opinions.
Annie’s is sufficient for low effort when I have to wake up early and get to the airport.
I’m glad you mentioned that. Substitute taste for (reasonably) healthy and Annie’s is OK.
One song that I had stuck in my head over the past few days is Robbie Williams’ “Rock DJ”.I was never a fan of his, though I liked his three songs that got played in Canada 20 years ago. With that said, I always thought if Robbie Dubs and I ever were to meet, we’d probably become good friends– not that I know anything about him. Anyway, I was at the grocery store earlier today when his new song came on, about him and his daughter. Once again, the song total proves that we’d totally become BFFs if we ever were to meet in person and also, there’s a strong new car smell in my study area.

Edit: Not sure why it had the wrong video. This is it

I did a double take when I realized this wasn’t a tWBS post.
Thanks! tWBS posts awesome music
Sorry. After the edit, I must retract my statement.
I’m not sure if I’m offended or not. I’ll get back to ya’s once my thc pill kicks in.
(I’m probably not offended)

Jesus, this is Wakezilla terrible.
Maybe you two are more alike than I thought.
LMFAO. I can get worse.
I believe you. No Green Day, please!
You should not have said that. Now it’s in my head and….ah dammit!!!!!!!!

Damn you.

pre-edit, I was gonna say “gee, I like that Death Cab song but pretty sure that’s yet another song about Zoey Deschanel”
Oh we’re talking about work? Here’s a shocker: I’m flying to multiple cities this week. But Next week–vacation!
where ya flying on vacation?
Hawaii. First time.
Love Hawaii. Enjoy.
You’ve earned that.
Last week at work was insanely busy but this one starting tomorrow should be interesting. I’ve got a quarterly executive business review to host tomorrow then on Wednesday I’m hosting an open house for the entire corporation to come check out our site and services.
The best part is when this week is over that corporate bullshit is done and I can go back to fucking off.
Hell yes let’s get this shit over with.
Do you have to wear a tuxedo?
No, I gave up the “suit” about 18 years ago.
Thank Christ.
Business casual baby!

I was absolutely terrible at/with everything yesterday.
Today, I got up caught up on some work stuff I had been avoiding like the plague, then made a double batch of Hippo’s patented spinach/cucumber/zuchinni/gala apple/lime juice (took a bottle to my mom, who has a worse stomach than me), did restrained but HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL #HAILGAMBLOR (undoing yesterday’s misadventures in both substance and approach), took mom her juice, picked up MOAR papers from the office, processed those…
…and now can settle in for a v-profen and #BFIB comeback/sweep
I still suck the vast majority of the time, but at 46 I am very grateful to be capable of the occasional “on” day
well, boy howdy John Brebbia ain’t making Hippo SMIRE right now (smgdh)

That was not as fun. I need to scrub my online identity now.

I’ve “watched” at least 2 of these
I remember my high school tutor.
She was nice.
I’ve been following the Canon Fire podcast and hope I can pick up the Buc’s preseason post.
Think the Orange Mussolini is pulling for Martinique to send the Mexicans back across the border?
Why is she the only one with a hula hoop?
WHAT LIKE SHE’S SO SPECIAL?????? YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME??????
They are like backup singers. Backup hoopers.
Which is almost as good as having backup hookers.
You know, just in case.
My terrifyingly scary last final exam I have to take is for English lit. One of the novels I will be tested on is Namesake. I just found out there is a movie version. With the exception of Gogol’s girlfriends, it is well casted. With that said, it’s some straight A bullshit that Mouse wasn’t portrayed by Sunny Leone. Did she turn that down or something? A big breasted, light skinned, gorgeous Indian woman DTF at the drop of the hat? How could it not be her? Also, the actress that was casted to portray Maxine looks nothing like the description in the books.
She seems….interesting.
Wait a second here. You’re taking an English Lit class, yet down below you mentioned that you’re teaching English? How does that work? Are you staying one chapter ahead of your students?
Long story short: I currently work at a community college where most of my job revolves around me creating workshops for students/writing policy for the college.
I’m taking two classes (distant ed) because Alberta decided that they couldn’t accept all my fucking credits. Translation: Give u$ $$$$$$. I have to take a Human Geography course and an extra English lit class. This is so I can apply for the high school teaching certificate in Alberta. . . maybe. I’m kind of having a change of heart because 1) The conservatives are in power and have already began gutting the shit of the education system (teachers who retire will not have their spots replaced) and 2) The job I have is a lot of fun and is already opening up some doors for me. Also, the same job in the private sector can pay A TON of money. So I kind of want to stick with my job and see where it takes me.
Edit: The Irony of in all of this is that I have taught/am able to teach post-secondary classes, but not high school because of this one piece of paper. It’s all annoying. The problem with Alberta is that all their colleges (in the Calgary area) are typically Zionist Christian, which doesn’t make my MA degree about Palestinian refugees seem all that appealing to them.
Do they also have an Alien Geography class?
I wish. The primary textbook I used was over 600 pages and there were well over 600 terms and more subterms I had to know. It was fucking ridiculous.
I know where the mound is, so only 599 more to go.
Did you advocate sending Tom Petty to fix it??

That sounds lonelier than Kunte Kinte at a Merle Haggard concert.
You make a compelling argument.
It’s funny to me that Sunny Leone has parlayed a successful porn career into a successful Bollywood career.
Her casting couch videos got her ready for her casting couch auditions
Question–does salsa have any nutritional value? Trying to translate snack to dinner balancing
I’m 90% sure it counts as a vegetable.
Depends what is in it and how much salt.
As I tell my students during my in-class essay writing workshop (in the planning stages)
“Coffee is not a vegetable. Kraft Dinner is not a vegetable, and may not even be food. Salsa might have touched a vegetable once, but it will not give you vegetable nutrients”
“Kraft Dinner” is my favourite bit of Canadia-speak. THANKS, Trailer Park Boys!
As a dance, Salsa contains Vitamin Sexy.
Crush up some Flintstones Vitamins and sprinkle them on top.
Is “Dirt Heretics” a Low Commander original? I LOVE IT.
GO DIRT HERETICS!!!
Yes indeed.
Why did you think Mel kept a femur in his hair?
This Jonathan David, I call Hurricane Irma because he absolutely wrecked Cuba’s shit in a short period of time.
Univision and Telemundo are the only places to watch soccer for me. I mean seriously:
I bet she gives great footy analysis.
Calm down, Coach
Teh Hippo will disagree, he seems keen on the Canadian lassies.
Double K looked fantastic in her bright yellow blazer today.
There’s just something about tan women in yellow that makes me brain go YES.
Oh yeah?
