Random Awakeness

Random awake issues by Revalos...non sequitirs ahoy!

So...I'm flying to Korea in about eleven hours and I really really don't want to go. 14 hours in the air nonstop after 3 waiting in Dulles airport. 17 hours of my life I'll never get back. Then I have to do shiftwork, and I get to do it again...except worse two weeks from now where I'll get to Incheon airport at 6AM Korea time on Saturday...and probably get back to DC at midnight on Saturday if I can't beg my way onto an earlier flight. God damn Olympics being done at the same time I have a flight.

So, to try and actually survive this first flight, I've decided to stay up all night in the hopes that I'll be so tired that I will actually sleep for an hour or so.

I just finished watching the first two DVDs of Gurren Lagann. Top notch Anime. Highly recommended. Maybe I can pick up the other episodes in Korea...

I think I'll go try to empty out most of my DVR over the course of the next five or so hours so that it won't be full when I get back.

You know...women are such bitches. I was out with one of my friends tonight with his girlfriend, and we got into a conversation about a "date" I had recently...that wasn't really a date, but...well, it was. I had front row seats and went to a fucking awesome Led Zeppelin concert and the girl I brought with me just saw it as a big meh. What a total buzzkill. This was also the girl I was going to Iraq for, if anyone remembers my psycho crap from earlier. Well, luckily Iraq will be good for me regardless, but damn was I hard up at that time.

Anyway, then we get on the subject of shallowness when dating...how most people pick someone up based on looks first and then hope for a good personality later. Out of nowhere this guy's girlfriend says "yeah, no one wants to date a fatty." Now this girl isn't exactly thin, and neither am I if it matters for this particular situation. But I say "I'd date you though." So yeah...call me a dick for that..I think I really pissed her off. She has serious body image problems and I understand that...but I was trying to be fucking nice! Yeah, it wasn't the right thing to say...but come on. Bitches.

Hmm...Russia invading Georgia...isn't this the setup for the original Ghost Recon game? Does Tom Clancy just use a time machine to see this or just happens to write about every damn potentiality and has to get lucky every once and a while. I wonder if the whole Edwards affair reveal was to keep the international incident away from our political discussions for a few days...I'm such a conspiracy nutjob.

Enough rambling for now. More as the morning progresses.

I hate Korea. I stayed drunk the entire time I was.

if you have 3 hours at dulles you can make it to the air & space annex.

[DCSL]

Meh. I know where you went wrong. I wouldn't put out for Zepplin either, even for all the Gibson/Marshall combos in the world. Iron Maiden, though...

[Revalos]

Hmm...I wonder what time the Udvar Hazy opens today...That would give me something to do.

And as much as putting out was not a chance in hell...you would have at least expected some modicum of enjoyment of a good Zeppelin concert? I mean she treated it like it was a university lecture.

When I get back from Korea, I'm going to try the "Its Just Lunch" online dating service and see how it goes. I've been told it is cougar central, but hell, what do I have to lose?

[Back]

Champagne.

[DCSL]

I dunno. The wealth of guitarists who have since attempted to copy Jimmy Page's style and sound have made them kind of boring. Just because it was more original back in the day doesn't mean it isn't fairly same-ish nowadays. Hendrix and Vaughn have gotten similar treatment, unfortunately. I'd rather go see AC/DC.

But if it was free, it was free. As an armchair musician, I can occasionally be too picky. =X I'd still have more fun than your girl apparently did but it wouldn't get me wet or anything.

Hell, how old was this girl? A lot of the people I've met recently in their early twenties have been total fail boat captains at recognizing it, let alone appreciating it. One of my co-workers seriously asked me who Lynyrd Skynyrd was. I about cried.

[Revalos]

Yeah...she's mid twenties and had never heard of Zeppelin or Skynyrd. I was incredulous that was even possible.

She listens to Coldplay, Evanescence, Bond, and stuff like that.

Well, regardless, I got the distinct feeling that there is no major relationship between me and her and that the mixed signals I saw were just her way of not blowing me off and wanting to make sure that I was willing to be her friend.
