The Whining and Bitching Thread

[Zephyrus]

Well if everyone is set on going to Om I'll attend. I live only about an hour from Chicago in Dekalb. I don't have a lot of money though, so the idea of getting a hotel and chilling is not for me. We could, however, drive back here and chill until the wee hours of the night.

I'm for this. I can drive as far as Dekalb and go with you guys the rest of the way. My cousin's apartment is in Chicago but I don't know or think he'd be cool with us partying and crashing there.

But I'll wait to get travel plans from Grant before organizing any further logistics.

It's not like I have anything more important going on that weekend.

I really hate men who combine being a kind of knight in shining armour to feminism and the supposed equality of women and having a lot of "game". Just be fucking honest and grow some balls. Tell them what's up. I think a society being sexist shows that it is at a certain level of advancement really, otherwise it would indicate that they hadn't got past the stage where they're competing for who can bring home the most dead bears back to the bitch's lair. Imagine gender neutral, politically correct, classic western philosophy. Ewww.

I'm like 90% sure i'm going, i just need to talk to a couple people at home first. Is there anything specific we need to coordinate?


btw Schmidt, if coming to the show really is a financial issue for you, we could maybe pitch in and pay your ticket or other expenses since you're planning to put us up.

[damnromulans]

ESPECIALLY coming from a guy who rails against immigrants and people from less advanced societies?

Depends on when, how and whether you're going straight to Chicago. Would you be flying or driving?

 

[SentinelSlain]

I know you won't like this because you're used to the idea that women are perfect but some mean nasty republican / taliban men are horrible to women because they're too stupid to know how to seduce them, but can you honestly say you find the average Western woman respectable? Are women who cheat on their military husbands, get divorces, get the house, get the kid and don't care that the husband is living in the street good people? What about all of those shitty whores who have massive egos based on their ability to attract desperate men in clubs?

Well i did drive to Maine this summer, but that was with someone else in the car. I'd like to bring it and have the added flexibility, but i doubt i'm gonna find a road trip buddy for this in two weeks, so i'll most likely book a flight. Do you still have your jeep?

 

[EffigyForgotten]

Damn I gotta shieeet.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Zabu - Eh, that won't be necessary. Tickets are like $10 or something stupid. Just buy me a few beers and anyone who rides with me chip in with gas and done deal.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Sweet. I just want to take a day to find out of there's anyone i can drive up with, otherwise i'll drive alone. I want to bring my own bedding, booze, food etc. in case i'm there for longer. We're doing this legit.

 

[divine_torture]

I will definitely try to make both shows. Is it gonna be pretty split on who is going to which?

I'd prefer to go to both, personally.

After that show I think I only have class like 1-2 days before Thanksgiving Break, and obviously I need to be home for that, but I am more than willing to chill Friday night before the Om show in Dekalb, and then all take one car from Dekalb to Chicago to see Om and drive back and hang out most of Sunday, or longer.

Kinda depends on Jeremy's schoolwork load and my own workload. I don't predict anything too bad, but I don't know about Latin tests and stuff, but we'll see.

Sounds fucking exciting though. I'm looking forward to it. We should e-mail a few other people (divine torture, Krig, addo) and make this like an official pre-MDF party.

Meanwhile: me bitchin: So, I'm trying to do some fucking research on my upcoming Milton research paper where I'm drawing comparisons of Satan in Paradise Lost to the great heroes of Homer (Achilles and Odysseus) but all the fucking articles on the "scholarly websites" require me to request the articles, and I have no fucking clue how to do this. Why don't they teach this horseshit in college? I also have no idea how to work the library. It's now the Dewey Decimal System, and this new system is totally FUCKED. This is probably my biggest complaint with my undergrad career.

 

[Einherjar86]

Just use JSTOR. Anything you'd need for Milton will almost certainly be on there.

Yes, use JSTOR. You're Uni probably allows you to log in via their network. Go to JSTOR.org, and click log in, and login via your institution. That will give you unlimited access.

And I like your plan for that weekend. I'm out of class on Fridays at 1:30 and it takes 3 hours or so to get to Dekalb from Iowa City. I can plan to get all my weekend schoolwork done ahead of time.
