The Mean Candle

February 28, 2006 2:25 pm

 Edit: Yeah, I mis-spoke when I said all my friends work the same shift. I forgot that some litte bitch punked-out on us and left (JUST KIDDING RYAN!) and went and got himself a 9 to 5 day job outside the great fab life. THERE, YOU FRIEKING HAPPY?!?! :)

 Wow. I just had a glass candle pot explode on me. As I sat watching it. Yeah, WTF right? So, this was basically a custom candle made out of all the left-over wax that i had from previous candles. I was out of wicks, so I used matchsticks. More than one. 4 yesterday. Today I kicked it up to five, and to increase the scent output (once again, WTF? Right?). After a couple hours, BAM! Two big pieces go flying off. As I try to put out the flames, another large piece goes pop and shooting off the coffee table. So, I quickly run and get a jar to smother the candle flames (as blowing it out didn’t seem to work as I had planned). Now I have a fucked up candle jar with lots of wax and a bunch of burnt matchsticks sticking out the top. That was some crazy shit.

 I did some physical therapy again this morning. Painful. I need to get back to work. Getting bored. Even with all my new toys. Right now, I just wish I had something real to do during the day besides sitting around watching tv and movies (i would take the dog out but this damn state wont stop raining) and getting drunk at night smoking cigars. Yep, exciting life during my would be normal work week. All my friends work the same shift as me, so I really got no one to hang with during the first half of the week.

 How about those olympics, huh? Yeah, not for me. The only, ONLY thing I cared about was hockey, and thats only becouse they shut down the NHL so they could go play. And the USA did not do quite as well as I had hoped. At least the Womens team got the bronze. But, seeing as the Mens USA team couldn’t cut it, my second favorite team did. Sweden. Why Sweden? Becouse they had six Red Wings on their team. Hells yeah. Six of my boys got the gold. And I get to watch the Wings play the Sharks tonight. Yeah Buddy.

 I also set up a side-blog here, to discuss the movies I recently watched. Why? Not sure. I think its becouse the blog software was made by a college kid in AJAX form, and while it’s simple, its still pretty cool. I’ll also soon be setting up a small subdomain showcasing my rather large DVD collection, which will also have my personal starred ratings. No stars, I havent watched it yet. One Star, total and complete crap. Two stars, eh, generic, or possibly ok just bad acting. Three stars, okay movie. Four stars, great movie, loved it. Five stars, fucking awesome, a personal favorite. Yep, and theres far more to come.

Some of the candle shops have wax remover - don’t know how well it works but I’ve been meaning to get some ever since I toppled a candle over on my desk. Hmph. We’ve gone 133 days without rain. This is not a good thing. Allergies are kicking my ass!

Luckily, none of the wax got out. The only parts that broke were above the wax.
