So much on my plate but nothing to eat

A few things I am thinking of tonight...

Blaine had money and good looks, but everybody and I mean EVERYBODY wanted Andie to wind up with Ducky.

Special K tastes a little like packing foam, only crunchier.

80% of ECC (where I work) can't keep their crap to themselves. Either it's large bags in the middle of the walk-ways, or it's canes in the aisles, or it's smelly food sitting there for 12 hours.

My nieces will probably never play video games on anything earlier than a PS3/X-Box 360. Which is sad, as I can remember my Uncle Bobby having the origianl Pong game. Not the Atari version, no sir. Pong was the only game this console had. I need to give my nieces some video game history...

I don't take advantage enough of the fact that I am old enough to drink. I used to think, back when I was younger, that once I reached 21 I would have alcohol at home, in copious amounts, and would always come home and have a scotch or whiskey sour to wind down after a day at the office.

I want to make some Korean-style fish cakes some time. Yum!

The cat hacked up a hairball under the couch as I was walking out to work tonight. Daddy's gonna have a present waiting on him when he gets home!

Tom Cruise is batshit crazy. That is not an opinion. That is public fact.

My technolocial knowledge has shifted so far away from PC components that I no longer know what is top quality anymore, and that saddens me a little bit.

I'm going to start taking guitar lessons finally here within the month. The first song I'm going to learn? "If I had a $1,000,000 Dollars" by BNL.

I think it's time I went back to an optometry specialist.

To make sure they ride that nostalgia train as far as they can, Hollywood is talking about making both a live-version Voltron and a CGI TMNT movie. The movie snob in me is wondering when they are going to stop this stupid trend and just start making original movies, but the 8-year-old inside of me is jumping up and down on the couch all excited.

Kids these days

Talking to a person over IM that says she is a student in Egypt who is studying to become a professor like her father. Her major? English Function and Foreign Languages. And yet her texts are peppered with "what do u do?" and "u r welcome". AOL speak basically.

I worry for today's youth. Is the art of conversing over 1's and 0's so hard that one must shorten all of their words? Is putting capital letters at the beginning of one's sentences a tedious choir?

In other news, I got a hair cut. A SERIOUS haircut. Very short, and I'm thinking of going all the way. I'm talking Telly Savalis baby! I don't know, it's still up in the air right now. Just wanting something that will guarentee that a woman will never talk to me again.

Gary Larson Weeps

Never has a Far Side copycat beens so far off it's mark... You might say it's Borderline piece of shit! Haha!

That was funnier than the entire site's worth of gags. Seriously, don't click on that link and waste your time. I just put it there for reference purposes.

Living In A Material World

Three times today I rode in my truck to various places with my radio pre-set to different stations. First was coming home from work. Second time was to grab some dinner, and then lastly was to come back to work. All three times when I started my vehicle, there was a Madonna song playing on the radio. And it didn't matter what channel I was on, it was always Madonna.

First was 'Lucky Star' coming home, then this evening was 'Material Girl', and when coming into work was 'Live To Tell'. What are the odds of hearing a Madonna song when starting one's vehicle? And what did I do? What does one do when faced with the Material Girl herself? Do I change the station or do I just turn the radio off?

I, my friends, turned it UP!

I was rolling down the road, with my window's down, hoping nobody would regonize me and wailing like a banshee...

"A man can tell a thousand lies,
I've learned my lesson well.
Hope I live to tell the secret
I have learned, 'till then..."

I'm such a chick.

Real?

Holy Crap, Lois! 
Don't know if this is a Photoshop job or not, or if this is old hat and everybody has seen it before, but I just about laughed my fool head off on this one.

Pushing buttons

Took my dad to the ER this morning. Nothing serious, but he needed some medical help and the VA wasn't doing anything, so he took matters into his own hands.

Had the 3rd best Bellini I ever had tonight. And that's not to say the bartender didn't know her stuff, but I feel she was working with second-rate material...

Right now, I'm about to pass out. Just wanted to say something, but now that I have the opportunity, the words are not coming out like I wanted them to, so instead I will give you this cherry for your cake of the day. Check out "Brush Ma Teeth" please. If you people wonder how I brush my teeth, this is how I do it.

Michael Bay? Suuuuuuuuck!

On a day when geeks will join together and watch something near and dear to them, I really hope that Michael Bay doesn't make it a movie about explosions and one-liners.

Well, maybe a few explosions...

July 4, 2007 is going to be a lot of fun. So swears Megatron!!

I knocked on Bo Radley's door...

I have an affinity for movies and cartoons. Sometimes, even the two combine and give me glee, but that's another post... Two DVD sets are being released soon and I am up in arms about how to procure them. The Thin Man box set and The Pink Panther Cartoon Collection box set. Every time I heard that Mancini song, it always got me in the mood for a little campy cat action. And the fast-talk and smooth detective work of Nick and Nora Charles was classic cinema at it's best in my opinion.

To Kill A Mockingbird:SE would just be icing on the cake. My favorite all time movie. Bet you never would have thought that of a scruffy-lookin' freak like myself would ya? Actually, I'll probably have this one on the day that it comes out. When treasured flicks come out in SE's, it's hard to resist and I shall do no such thing that Tuesday morn!

In other news, I need a bib. No, not a Bib, but rather a piece of cloth with which to keep food off my man-titties. I could loose weight, which I am doing ever so slowly, but in the meantime I think some clothing insurance is needed. I wonder if I could con Heather into knitting me one. Hmm... a woolen bib? I would ruin it with the first wash. No, I need something industrial, something modern...

"That'll do pig. That'll do."

Best Things In Life Are Free

Mouse: Ignored about twenty minutes after opening from packet.


Dangly Mouse on Stick: Will only play with if you engage her.


Squirrel Tail on Moving Ball: Stares at with mild curiosity.


Scratching Board: Ignores, even if there is fresh catnip on it.


Pipe Cleaner that was free with purchase of pipe at A-Kon: Loves it to death. All she will play with.

Cats are very strange, curious animals. Mandy, when we shared a habitat, would play with anything, including my laptop's power supply. April however will only play with what she wants to play with. I wonder if I should get her a hampster? Is that a good playmate? Hey Erin, still wanting to get rid of Sumi? I think my kitten needs a friend.

Relief is in site, doom on the horizon

The only person I know that has credible medical knowledge sent me a few texts tonight. Bib said that there some kind of viral thing going around that gave people headaches, with tension in the neck. All of which I had. I guess the nausia was just my own doing. But I think I will still get it checked out, as I've been having other kinds of headaches for several months now, migrainy-type ones. I'm hoping to score some really good pills, hence my only reason for going. ;-)

It'z not a toomah!

Ok, this sucks. Headache came back with nausia after about 30 minutes when I posted last. This is starting to get weird. Guess who's going to see a doctor tomorrow?

"Herk a lees! Herk a lees! Herk a lees!"

Got up this morning, stumbled into the living room, and notice something is out of place. I have a shoe over by the TV, which is odd, because I don't keep my shoes by the telebox. Something moved a shoe 10 feet from where it was last. The reason? April is getting stronger. Slowly, everyday, she's getting faster and stronger and soon she will kill me and take my place amoung the bi-peds.

No treats for you, wiley cat!

In other news, my 2 1/2 day headache disappated sometime Sunday night. Thanks to all for the advice, especially my father.

Sweaty Fat Guy

Just got back from the gym, about to get in the shower, feeling pretty good. The YMCA is currently undergoing a renovation and parking is now in the back, but to get there, one has to take a little trip in the neighborhood. This morning, during my little detour, I saw a father with his two small boys getting ready to go swimming. The floaties and beach towels gave it away. I slowed down a little bit and took it in. The dad picked up one of them before they darted in front of another oncoming car, and gave a little repremand. But the kids were still excited, and I had to share their enthusiasm a bit. I like to watch families doing 'family things'. Creepy much?

Anyway, I'm 31, I'm not married and I have no children. For some guys, that would be an ideal situation. But personally, I function better in a relationship. I tend to do more things, be more interactive, be active more, cook more, clean more. I don't know, I'm just mopey here of late. I'm sure anybody left reading this blog realizes that. Like Bib would say, I'm just throwing myself a pity party. Well hell, it's my spot on the web, and it's my little online diary. I need someplace to vent, well this is it.

Blah blah blah, I'm going to hop in the shower. April is sitting on her perch in front of the computer, play biting me, telling me to leave her alone, even though she's the one that sat here after I was on here. Goofy animal. So, I'm going to try and clean up this dump today. I've been all blue and the apartment is showing it. Ugh... Maybe I'll make some chicken and dumplings tonight. Homemade dumplings mind you...not that canned stuff. Nothing wrong with canned, just not when made by me. :-D

Go Team Venture!

Agendas suck

Apparently, our buddies to the East had some terrorist problems of their own. My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected. If you stand with London and freedom, let those that caused this, that we are not afraid.

Headache has decreased, but it's still there. Does having a headache for a day and a half a bad sign? I swear, my eyes are crossed a little bit it's so bad.

Crazy

Worry...
Why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin'
What in the world did I do...


Nothing a bottle of Jack won't fix. Nothing...
I've had this stinkin' headache for almost 20 hours now. I'm tired of it, as I am a great many other things. Damn.

XXXI

Today celebrates my breaking free of the womb. My age is also the 10th lowest whole prime number, so hooray for Math! Right now I'm in Ada, visiting my folks, about to head back to Tulsa and maybe see some friends tonight.

I've got that song, "Break My Stride" from the 80's stuck in my head. Weird.

"How Many People Can You Name?"

Errol Morris, short film maker, put together a little 'love of film' short for the ol' interweb and I am needing all of your help figuring out who these people are. Apparently they all are, if not most, people who are famous for something.

A handfull I can recognize on my own. Iggy Pop, Donald Trump, Laura Bush, Al Sharpton and Former Russian Primier Gorbichav are in this. There is even a Savion Glover-looking guy who may indeed be Savion Glover. But the rest of the people I am stumped by. There are two others I recognize, but I don't know their names. This is where you come in...

Watch this little film. It's not long, about a minute, and tell me who you can pick out of this little short, if they are famous for something or not. The white guy with the weird head talking about "flickering" I can picture, but I don't know his name. Help me name him!!

*On a third viewing, the guy near the first that says "The Matrix!" looks like Shawn Flanning, the Napster inventer, and another guy that I think is Rocko DiSpirito, and another guy whom I believe is some fashion designer, but ,again, I don't know his name.
