So I just haven't felt like writing anything lately. Everything is going well and I've had a pretty good May. I just turned 34 (yikes!) on Saturday and had a nice birthday. My parents were in town for the weekend and they got me the new curtains I wanted for the living room and dining room. We replaced the dining room blinds but haven't done the ( Read more... )

Today is noteworthy to me. It's the birthday and deathday of two famous people -- Jim Morrison and John Lennon respectively. Jim Morrison was probably the biggest influence in my life and he was dead before I was born. Today is his birthday. I like to celebrate each year. It may sound strange to most people, but if you knew me growing up, it would ( Read more... )

Work has been so busy lately that I haven't had time to write anything here. I'm still rarely online at home, but maybe I'll have to work in some computer time there. Nothing really much to report anyway, so no big deal.
I'm just getting worried about winter and the gas bill. It's going up that's for sure, but how much? We can't keep the heat down ( Read more... )

There's not much going on with me these days. Everyone is doing well and we're pretty much just doing our thing. My parents will be here this weekend and then in two weeks Lance's sister is visiting for the weekend and my brother is coming the week after. I'm really looking forward to them all. It will give me some time to get some of the little ( Read more... )

I can't believe I haven't posted anything for so long. I guess I just haven't really known what to say. This whole hurricane disaster really had me upset and angry. I couldn't believe how long it took to get to people. I'm not going to get into it now, as at this point I'm just happy to see people getting the help they need. I just wonder what will ( Read more... )

Hunter S. Thompson gets his wish this weekend for his ashes to be blasted out of a 150-foot tall tower on his property... Read the story. That's so cool. I plan on being cremated when I die and I haven't decided what I want done with the ashes. This is a little excessive for me, but I think it's awesome and fitting to him. I know I certainly don't ( Read more... )

My parents are coming to visit for the weekend. So far, I have not cleaned one thing in the house. I doubt I'll get to much tonight either. Jake needs a bath and his normal nightly routine. He'll probably be asleep by 8:00, but then we still have to eat dinner ourselves and wash the dishes. I don't really want to run the vacuum while he's sleeping ( Read more... )

I think I've written about it before, but I'm going to again anyway. I don't like it when my friends become friends and start doing stuff without me, or without even asking me to join. It's stupid and totally selfish of me, but it bugs me. These two people wouldn't even know each other if it weren't for me and all of a sudden they behave as if I ( Read more... )

I hate, HATE, the giant sunglasses all the celebrities are wearing these days. I hated in them in 1983 and I still do now. Please don't let these really come back into style. I don't want to have to look at everyone in them.
I wonder what will happen with the Michael Jackson thing. When I was 10 I loved him. Thriller came out then and I thought he ( Read more... )

And we wonder why people don't speak up more often? Damn, the guy is trying to do some good but he got the shake down. This is troubling because I don't see how the assailants couldn't be somehow related to the government. Mr. Hook was exposing fraud at a government facility. The funny part is that I saw the story this morning on the CBC news, but ( Read more... )
