I Have To Pee

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

I know, I know. To the ones who know me, you’re thinking, duh! you always have to pee, for those of you who don’t really know me, now you do. I’ll spend a third of my life asleep, and at least another fifth of it peeing.

It saddens me how slow my desktop has become at doing tasks. At one time (as with all technology) it was a BEAST, now it barely can sing out a meow. Poor giant PowerMac, it’s little 1.6Ghz PowerPC processor is probably at the limit just keeping up with my typing in Safari. It’s such a beautifully designed piece of technology that no matter how old it gets, i’ll still keep it as part of my Apple shrine. It almost feel cruel to have a considerably faster MacMini attached to the TV that does nothing but run iTunes and FrontRow. (more…)

Surgery

Friday, April 1st, 2011

While I know good and well that people who take things like ambien generally have very strange dreams, or do things in their sleep that they have no memory of, I didn’t think over the counter drugs would do that too.

Truthfully speaking I really need to go to the doctor. I’ve been battling sleep depravation for a while now, and sometimes it does go away, but more often than not it comes right back. I have a hard time getting my brain to turn off at night so I can get to sleep, and when I do (on my own) I never get into a deep sleep. I end up waking up several times throughout the night and end up feeling more tired the next morning than when I went to bed the night before.  (more…)

Fall is here

Friday, October 1st, 2010

The weather started out pretty bleak this week. It was mostly rain and cloudy but surprisingly it has turned into some beautiful sunny cool weather. Fall is finally here and no more blazing heat! It has been so nice in fact that I’ve had the air turned off the last few days and had the windows open. All the kitties have enjoyed that but especially Loki. It warms my heart seeing something so simple make him so happy.

All day we had black helicopters circling around the house. I’m curious as to what they were looking for, or whom. Maybe it wasn’t anything too freaky. Speaking of, I hear sirens outside now. Someone isn’t having a good night. Oh and they’ve started repaving our neighborhood, which is great. Unfortunately it seems they are repaving every street except ours.

Plum has been rather cheerful too. He’s spent the past few days out from under the bed enjoying the breeze. Right now he’s laying on Billy’s pillow, which could very well explain why I wake up with fur in my mouth sometimes. Now I wish Bailey would warm up to the world in general. We’ve had him for a year now and he still hides under the bed at the faintest noise.

Oh and I have some great news to report; I’ve made a new friend! Now ordinarily I wouldn’t bring this up as none of you will probably care, but this is actually neat. At a party several weeks ago Billy and I met a guy and his boyfriend and we chatted a little. Later on he added me to facebook and Twitter. Now through the miracle of foursquare he noticed when I checked in at home that I lived less than a mile away. We’ve lived next to each other for almost 13 years and never knew it. Quite ironic and neat at the same time! Well I thought it was cool anyway…

Oh well I have a lot of TV to catch up on, I’ll catch you guys later!

Sometimes…

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

…you just want to rip off all your clothes and jump right in. Or at least that’s how I feel right now. The weather has been much cooler lately so it’s actually enjoyable to be outside. Don’t get me wrong it’s still hot out, but it’s livable. I want to get in the pool so bad but I know the water is cold. Such hard decisions in life!

I feel like I’ve eaten the entire buffet and then some at Golden Corral! I haven’t though; hell I wouldn’t be caught dead at a Golden Corral. We went to Firehouse Subs for lunch today, and to anyone who hasn’t tried it, you are truly missing out. The subs are delicious, and their “medium sub” is more filling without chips than Subway’s six inch meal. It isn’t much more in price either.

Bailey was being extra cute this morning cuddling with Billy. I wish he would do that with me, but I’m not his “mommy”. I do love him though. Him and Loki are my babies. Plum is just Grand-pa kitty since he’s so much older.

Tomorrow I have to call the Postal Service and open a claim since they’ve lost a package. I called last week and they said I had to wait 14 days of the tracking information being outdated before they would do anything (even though on their website it said after 7 postal days). I’m mad, but not overly pissed since the package was free to begin with. It’s my free iPhone case from Apple. Don’t get me wrong I want it, I’m just not as mad as if I had actually paid for it.

There was something it seems that I wanted to mention, but I just can’t remember what it was. Oh well if it comes to me I’ll just do an edit and add it in. Later guys, love ya!

Grand Theft Billy

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Ever since beating Super Mario Bros. on the Wii, Billy has been digging through my video games looking for something else to conquer. Never did I think he’d pick Grand Theft Auto. It’s cute how he was hell bent on playing the game without using cheat codes, and as soon as I left the room when he was having trouble with a mission he miraculously beat it. Closer inspection reveals cheats now listed in his virtual cellphone.

After praising myself so well in my last post I’ve already slipped. We stayed out way too late last night at a bar that was way too busy. Ended up standing up all night and my legs just couldn’t bear the treadmill today. I guess its good to have a day of rest too. I’ll be back on it first thing in the morning though! I’ve gotta work on that hot body!

Speaking of last night, it was crazy busy. We went out with a few friends and waded through the crowds of people and the ear splitting dance music. At one point everyone except Billy and I was on the dancefloor. I was far too sober to even attempt dancing. I know where my abilities are, and it certainly isn’t there. It was fun though, even though I had to pee the entire time (which is why I wasn’t drinking). Gay bar/club bathrooms scare the hell out of me!

Billy and I are starting a medium sized home project. Since remodeling the bathroom, and working on our bedroom we are slowly getting all the fit and finish done. All of the chrome and brass in the house will eventually go away and be replaced with oil-rubbed bronze. The door knobs are mainly what is left, and at $25 each and needing 30 of them it’s a slow process. To add insult to injury the door hinges are $3 each and needing three per door adds even more to the equation. Now I’m not going to cheap out on the knobs but as for the hinges, we bought some “Oil-rubbed bronze” spray paint. So we shall see how this turns out. Since they don’t get touched or rub on anything it “should” hold up fine. We already know the color matches really well.

I upgraded my version of MarsEdit on my laptop to the newest version and It’s much improved. I highly suggest it as a blogging tool for mac users and word-press users. It supposedly integrates with iPhoto now, we shall see.

I feel slightly guilty for playing music in the background. It’s turned down so low I can’t even hear it. I’m just trying to run up my play counts on last.fm ha ha. I’m such a dork! Oh and click the link, it’ll take you to my profile where you can friend me (hint hint).

Well, I’ve babbled enough for now. Its time for a snack! I think i’m going to get a nutri-grain bar…

Refresh

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Blake's on the ParkI’m still currently sick, which sucks. I do feel somewhat better though. Like most colds it just takes a little OTC medicine (maybe a good does of pseudo-ephedrine in there too) and just a few days of waiting. Even though I have been sick, I went out last night with Billy, Andy, and Joey to Blake’s. It was a lot of fun and there were q good amount of people there. I’m glad I went, plus if I hadn’t I wouldn’t have ended up with this really cool picture. There wasn’t any editing done, the red filtered lights at the bar and the front facing iPhone 4 camera (i’m sure the low light along with the fact that its VGA played a big part in it). Never the less I think it came out pretty cool!

I’ve spent the better part of the last two days (or so) going back through all my old blog posts cleaning up. I didn’t delete them or anything, but a lot of them had broken links or pictures. I was able to fix most of the pictures, and the ones I couldn’t I removed the image tags out so it wouldn’t display a broken link. I had great hopes of being able to find all the appropriate pictures but alas some are just gone into oblivion. It’s one of the unfortunate consequences of changing web hosts, that and my unwillingness to embrace WordPress’ own gallery function. I’ve since come to terms that using plugins for other types of galleries is just a botch job that never works fluidly. I haven’t decided if I want to change the way I have my photography gallery or not yet though. I still have it hosted through Picasa. I do however like how the built in gallery plays nice with lightbox and it just works for imbedding into posts.

Oh, I’m really big into Last.fm (my profile) so add me as a friend on there please! If you’ve never tried it it’s similar to Pandora only better. It gathers data on the music you listen to in iTunes, on your iPod/iPhone/iPad and makes suggestions for music you would like based on what you listen to. Give it a try!

Interior Trim PiecesI was lucky enough earlier this week to come across someone on an online forum that had a question about their Nissan Altima Coupe. They had a new 2010 model fully loaded with black interior and silver trim. They wanted to know if all the black trim pieces that show up on ebay from wrecked 2008+ models would work or not (which they will) and I told him so. So he sold me some of his silver trim pieces (that I like better) for $25. New it would have cost me over $130; SCORE! I bring this up because FedEx just showed up a little bit ago with my package!

Ok I better bug out, the more I talk the less you’ll read =)
