i was muttering "son of a bitch" a lot during Nixonland, along with "gently caress this rear end in a top hat", maybe Fire and Fury isn't for me I already got a decent handle on what a clownshow it is

I'm trying to read more books that I haven't read before so Consider Phlebas, Nixonland, and Fire and Fury are my starters for the year. I have a really bad habit of rereading things I've read. If I want to write as a hobby, I must expand my mind! e: although I will always reread A Canticle for Leibowitz because I have to use a fuckin religion guide to get through that one. 3 DONG HORSE fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Jan 5, 2018 |

I was walking home from work in 10 degree wind gusts and briefly thought about laying down on the sidewalk and dying, like an Everest climber too tired to continue...with a letter for my loved ones....

Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson is fantastic and will make you forget all about Tr*mp A guy finds a U-boat off the coast of New Jersey and that's the least interesting thing that happens Edit: this was before scuba divers started mixing gases to give them more bottom time so it's extra super dangerous

I have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow but I am going to spend a good deal of the day driving around looking at used cars for my girlfriend. Nothing makes me less excited than a day of haggling with dealerships.

Wife is supposed to get back from three weeks overseas tomorrow but she has a stopover elsewhere in the US and that flight got delayed and she might miss her connection to get home wheeeeee Also I got turned down for a job I really wanted wheeeeee (technically I turned them down because they stupidly wanted to keep it as a six-month contract and I can't afford that risk) E: Also I was going to use the excuse of needing to pick her up from the airport as an excuse to only work a half-day  I might just do it anyway.

I guess being nice to the woman who has made my work life hell for the last year is paying off because she's got connections to the hiring managers at both companies my wife is applying to.

Goondolences on the work front. I also didn't get the job I interviewed for, we must stay strong and persevere in the face of malarkey.

Usually what gets people is the weather before they even reach summit or after starting descent. K2 and Annapurna in particular have just absolutely brutal routes and any sudden inclement weather is almost certain death. K2 isn't even attempted in winter lol
