Eggnoggity! Monday, November 16, 2009 |


So for those of you who aren't in the know, every time around 2 weeks before Thanksgiving a restaurant chain called Jack in the Box starts serving 2 types of milkshakes: pumpkin pie and eggnog. Now, what makes this mentionable is that they only appear for the holiday season and a bit after New Year's they go bai bai. It's a shame, but that's what makes them so special, and to me, nostalgic.

I've been buying the eggnog shake since they introduced it back a couple years ago. A tradition, if you will. Every time I drink it, or even try to remember it's flavor, I get nostalgic. It's a sort of appreciation that you can only get with food, kind of like eating a relative's special recipe that you only get to eat at family reunions. It's that kind of special that I have come to experience with these shakes.

I don't go to college anymore, and I miss it. As much as I dreaded it sometimes, I miss the atmosphere a lot. The people, the classes, the music I'd listen to from my MP3 player, the buildings, everything. I get all nostalgic, but the eggnog shake brings back the most memories. I'd always pick one up across the street from campus on my way to the bus. Like I said, I miss it man. It's kind of sad I get all hurfdurf because of a stupid milkshake, but it's just that good. When I ordered my shake the first time, I honestly wasn't expecting much. As some of you may know, some products that have eggnog in them taste so plasticky and stuff, and I didn't really have much experience with eggnog before that. It's really thick so you don't get much from it until it melts down a bit. So I waited, ate the cherry and tried it.

I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE. It has such a pleasant, creamy flavor, but is also rich in flavor. It tastes like Christmas. I got really cheerful (yes I know, I'm a fucking fat ass) at how wonderful it tasted. So I did the same again the next day. And the day after that.

One day though during finals week, I had just gotten off of a really busy day at work and really long sociology final. The first I was looking forward was to my damn milkshake. So I brighten up and make my way there. When I go to order my shake, I order a sourdough chicken sandwich. Why the hell not, I did good at work and on my final, I deserved it. When I went to order my milkshake, I said "Oh, instead of the soda can I get a nig...uuuh eggnog milkshake?" I stopped myself from finishing what I was going to say. I was about to order myself a nignog milkshake, and the cashier happened to be black. Nignog isn't that well known of derogatory racial slur for black people, but still that was like ooooooh shit. According to my research back then, it's a derivative of nigger, but used in Britain (hence why aside from my friend I hadn't heard it anywhere else). Still though, that's a pretty fond memory that I probably won't ever forget. Yeah, I'm fairly aware that it's a shitty lolwut memory, but still. It reminds me of my college days, and the awesomeness of eggnog milkshakes from Jack.

So in order to serve some sort of promotion (PROMOTIONS \o/), GET YOUR ASS TO YOUR LOCAL JACK IN THE BOX AND TRY ONE OUT YOU NIGNOGGER.

Must... get... CAR Sunday, November 15, 2009 |

One of the many "joys" of work is the fact that if I don't have a ride, I have to walk there. Well, halfway there, but it's still a pain. It's a 4 mile walk from the bus stop to work, at 1 AM. I'm one of those people who gives it their all when it comes to work, so it has to be done. It's really odd, I love walking, especially on a clear night. But the other night I just couldn't stand it. I felt so depressed and hollow. Thanks to a little help from my buddy Ramona, I linked it to feeling alone, but not that I'm lonely exactly. The depth of the sky was overwhelming, as though it was so grand compared lil old me. It was more of a yearning to find a girl who won't do stupid things. Everyone does dumb things, I'm guilty of that too, but not everything is forgivable, or right. I think it's a lot of things that caused me to feel so lonely, mostly due to my job. My sleep is crap (work at 2 am ftw!), I'm always tired, I eat only once a day, and I get very little time to myself because of sleep/work. This on top of having to pay stuff off ASAP will make work feel fruitless for a while.

The image of the sky really reminded me of this scene from Bakemonogatari (from Epsiode 12, if you're interested). A boy and a girl lie before an open sky, a sky that's ablaze with the beauty of the universe. They lay there and hold hands, telling each other how they love each other. The dialogue wasn't even overly romantic or super mushy or anything like that. But the scene itself has become one of my all time favorite scenes from any anime. I was listening to Muse when I looked at the sky, and something (probably Muse's astral-sounding tone) just reminded me of this scene. I came to realize later that this is what offset my loneliness. I haven't felt that lonely since about 1 year ago, but this just came out of nowhere. But just like it came, it left me and that morbid feeling hasn't returned. That's super great cause I don't want that shit to bother me again. It's messed with my head enough.

What really concerns me is if I walk again, will it come back? I kind of dread finding out. I don't want to go through that every night on my way to work. I was already pretty determined to get a car when I started working at FedEx, but that's sealed the deal for me. I've already been researching the car(s) I want to get. Still have to look into how car loans/buying from a dealer works.

I've been looking into Scions, namely the xB model and the tC model. For some reason all the nice dark colored ones ARE MANUAL ARGHHHHH. I can't drive stick for shit. I'm slightly leaning more towards the tC just because for some reason xB's are more expensive. I like all the year models of the tC but only the 2004-2006 xB's since I hate the 2008+ models, they look so retarded. The price range has been anywhere from $6,000-$11,000, a little more than I expected. It's k though, I get payed semi-decently at FedEx so monthly payments wouldn't be bad at all. Of course that means I can't buy off the street because people want full payments up front. Either way, it's something nice to look forward to, my first huge ass purchase :D

Oh and by the way, I'M FUCKING TIRED.
